Bella's/Elena's

After a few minutes of convincing, Elijah released Mikael from the basement. I had Mikael follow me upstairs to a spare bedroom. "This is the next biggest room in the house. I hope this will be fine." I said.

"I'm sure it will be fine." Mikael said simply.

I opened the door and pushed open the door. "There is a personal bathroom. We can go shopping or order offline to make the room more to your taste." I said, going in the room. I looked back at Mikael, still standing outside the room.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I don't deserve these luxuries or your kindness, Bella." He said.

I took a seat on the bed and patted the space next to me. Mikael hesitated for a moment, then came over and sat down. "Mikael, you are victim just like everyone else that had to suffer under Esther. You cheated. It happens, but that dosen't mean she should had used your children against you. Everyone is on edge about this new development, but we will get past this. Trust me, this isn't the hardest thing we had to overcome in our lives. I can't promise you that this will have a fairy tale ending, but you have try, Mikael. Truth be told, your hardest obstacle will be Niklaus." I said. I grabbed his hand and squeeze it.

"Elijah also will be a tough challenge." Mikael said.

"Yes, but that is because he protects his siblings first, but once he knows you are a not a threat, then mending process after that. Elijah tries to bear the world for his siblings, then process his mind later. Truly, he just wants his family back. Just give him time. Until then, you have me." I said.

"Thank you. That is very kind of you." He said.

"Well, let go get a bed set and have my dad get you some clothes." I said. I made to get up, but diverted by a voice from the hallway. "Mikael already has a clothing set in his closet. I have arranged for painters to come tomorrow morning to paint and having a new furniture set delivered. Everything is being taken care of." Elijah said, straight face.

Mikael stood up and I just remained seated, watching the interaction. "I appreciate that, Elijah." Mikael said, slowly.

"I'm not saying this is forgiveness. Whether it was you or not, I still see that face terrorizing my family, but this is not a cast off either. We will stay together and see where this takes us. Once I feel secure enough, I will bring up this issue with Klaus. Understand?" Elijah said.

"Yes. That is fair." Mikael said.

With that, Elijah walks away. I stood up and rubbed Mikael's shoulder with sympathy. "I will leave you, so you can have some alone time." I said. Mikael nodded and I left, closing the door behind me.

I roamed around the house, until I found my dad in his study. "That was noble of you to do that, dad. I'm sure that meant a lot to Mikael." I said.

Elijah was facing his book shelf, reading a book. "I listened to what you said to him and I decided that I should take the first step." He said, looking up.

"I'm positive you would have done it if I wasn't there. That is just the kind of person you are, dad." I said, laying against the couch arm.

"I'm happy you think highly of me Elena, but anger makes a world a difference." He said, taking a seat behind his desk.

I stared up at the ceiling and just thought about the time I arrived in Forks. My life was just a crazy event after another. Can I just get a break?

"I've missed so much school! Damn it!" I said, randomly.

"Language, Bella! Anyways, Carlisle gave you an excuse that you had the flu. You can return on Monday." Elijah said.
