I woke up from a nap to find myself still in Elijah's protective arms. It was probably really late by now. I turned over to find him still asleep. I kissed him on the lips and felt satisfied as I gazed at him. He gently opened his eyes and let out a tired smile.
"You're staring..." he said as he pulled me closer to him, our warm bodies met under the cold silky sheets.
"I'm gazing.." I said as I kissed him. He started to move around and I could tell he was up for good.
"We should get dressed and go downstairs" I said and Elijah closed his eyes again.
"Yes, as much as I like that suggestion, there are quite a few things I think could make me even happier." He said as he started moving his hands down my lower back.
"Mmm, me too, but we need to go see how everyone is doing. We still don't even know where Lucien is..." I said starting to grow worried. I stood up and walked to the bathroom. Elijah followed me and he brought me my clothes.
"Looking for this I presume?" He asked with a smirk as I took my clothes and got dressed. He did too and within minutes, we were downstairs where Hayley and Elijah were sitting with Freya in the courtyard. They seemed pensive and worried.
"I smell blood..." I said as Elijah and I sat down on a couch. They were all staring at a box next to Freya, it seemed like a gift box. Those usually end up holding something terrible in the supernatural world.
"What's inside?" I asked hoping it wasn't what I thought it was.
"It's Lucien's head and heart..." Hayley said and my mouth opened, I tried to speak but I couldn't find the words.
"We don't know how but we suspect it was Marcel." Klaus said as he looked at the box.
"Klaus thinks he did it to prove that he went for Lucien so what's to say he won't come for us.." Freya said worriedly as she looked at her younger brother. Elijah held my hand and remained silent.
"Well, we can put a spell on the compound. No other vampires except us can enter?" I suggested.
"That could work but for how long? We need to think of what Marcel could be scheming" Freya said.
"Wait, now that Lucien's dead, what happens to Vincent?" I asked and everybody looked at me.
"What if Marcel is trying to get more power?" Hayley started "I mean it makes sense, he said he would come for us and he knows he would need more power to do so.." Hayley said.
