BELLA'S POV

I could feel myself in the back of my mind, watching Ayana draw strange, yet familiar symbols. The night was falling upon us. Ayana started to whisper Latin around the circle. I looked around the woods and it was silent then ever, until i picked up a movement from a yard or so. With my sharpen vision, I could see Elijah walking with Carlisle. Ayana lifts my head for a second, before returning to the spell.

        "Ayana, release my daughter. I want to talk to her." Elijah commanded. Carlisle stood next to him, not saying a word.

        "Elijah, listen to me. I can reverse the spell. I can undo my wrongs, but I need Elena." Ayanna responded. I could see that Carlisle frowned at the name Elena. Since its my middle name, but I can't understand why they would refer to me with my middle name. 

        "Why? You could have pick anyone else to do this." Elijah questioned.

        "My dear boy, it has to be a descendant of Esther. We also witness that Elena has been harvesting great power and I need to tap into that. I do not wish to harm Elena, Elijah. Please, trust me to do this." Ayana said. I could see the look Elijah was giving Ayana and it wasn't look of resolution.

        "Ayana, let me talk to him. I can convince him." I didn't know if she could hear me or not, but I had to try.

        "If not?" Ayana said out loud. 

Confusion clouding Elijah's face, he spoke. "If not what?" 

Knowing she was talking to me, I replied. "If I can't convince him, put him in a stasis if necessary." I could feel myself being push to my conscious and it was like searing pain struck my head, but it was gone as fast it came. I flutter my eyes open and Elijah is in front of me. 

        "Ayana, what is wrong?" He questioned. He grasp my face into his face, examining me. I look up and it was the first time to see Elijah's guard down. He was wearing every emotion on his face.

        "It's me, dad." I said. I tried to wrangle my face from his grasp. I couldn't do it before he had me in a bear hug. I slowly wrapped my arms around him to calm his nerves.

        He step back, but kept hold onto my shoulders. "Don't ever do that to me again! Do you understand, Bella?" He said sternly.

        In return, I place my hands on his shoulders. "Look dad, you can yell at me after this over and done with, but you need to let Ayana do what she needs to do." I was prepared for him to cut me off, so I place my hand against his mouth. "Father, I know you worry, but you have to have faith in me to do this. Plus, this your chance to fix your family. It is what you wanted for a long time." I said urgently.

        He moved my hand from his mouth and held it. "Not at your expense, Bella! I'm the father and you are the daughter. I should be protecting you." He argued.

        "I won't be safe if Mikael remains in this state he is in. I need to do this. Not just for me, but us. The Mikaelson Family! If Mikael succeeds in getting out, then Klaus will be his first stop. And what about the new baby? I can't bear anymore innocent people getting killed, because of Klaus or I was to selfish to sacrifice my body. You can't protect me from everything, father, even if you are a Original. This has to be done. I can see it in your eyes that agree also, but just to stubborn to admit it. I promise to be careful, okay?" I argued back.

        Elijah was quiet, just staring back at me, hoping for a slight chance for me to fall onto his side. After a minute, his resolve crumbled. "If for one moment I think you are in danger, I'm snatching you out of this ploy. Okay?" He said.
