Elijah did not think he'd be held up for so long. He had wanted to finish his business before eight o'clock but unfortunately he wasn't able to. He knew Rebekah had left, as she had told him beforehand, Klaus would not be returning home tonight so it would only be him, Milana and her friend, Tracy. He at least have the decency to buy them snacks since he had noticed that Milana loved snacking. He didn't know if it was a pregnancy thing or a Milana thing.
The man walked through the house holding the bag. He had expected to see the two girls in the living area watching movies like they did almost every night but he was pleasantly surprised to see the living area empty.
While Milana didn't ask him directly to buy her some sweets but he knew she loved sweets, especially chocolate bars.
He walked to the kitchen to place the bag on the counter. He glanced to the clock to see that it was still early. She wouldn't be asleep already. Elijah walked up the stairs towards her room to see the door wide open but there was no sign of her.
"Milana?"
He frowned, looked down the hallway. "Tracy?"
He called out both their names as he looked in all the other rooms on the top floor. They were all empty. Elijah ran down the stairs, searching the whole house from the basement and up again. He walked back into Milana's room to maybe see if she left a note, when he doesn't see anything he decided to call Tracy.
Unfortunately, the girl was not answering so his second option was his darling sister. Elijah called Rebekah from the house, as she was on her way out of town in her car.
Rebekah sighed over the phone before saying, "Goodbye means goodbye, Elijah."
"Is she with you?" Elijah asked his younger sister. "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Milana. . .she's gone, where is she? Is she with you?" Elijah asked in worry. Milana was pregnant and if anyone harmed her, they will not live to see the next day.
"What?"
Klaus walked into Milana's room anxiously and joined Elijah.
Elijah turned just as Klaus told him, "Marcel was here."
Elijah looked stunned, and absently dropped the phone from his ear. "How could Marcel have found this place? I thought you said it was safe?"
