From another World, meeting you

Bad choice?

Elijah POV:

When I entered the room where Ella was staying, I was offered a picture that I wouldn't have expected, my brother Kol just told about how they hid as children and Niklaus and he sneaked behind me so I wouldn't find them. "He didn't notice it, we stayed behind him for several hours and Rebekah didn't tell him, Elijah just wondered why she was laughing," he said with a broad grin on his face.

"And what did he do when he found out?" Ella asked my brother, "He pushed us into the next mud hole at the time, of course our mother didn't like it," Kol replied to her, describing what they looked like at the time, which made Ella laugh. When I joined Kol and Ella, my younger brother grinned at me, "If she wasn't your companion and I didn't have Davina, I'd steal her from you," he told me, after which he was thrown a pillow from Ella directly in his face.

"You can't steal me, I still decide for myself what I'm doing, mate back and forth," she clarified, to which Kol grinned even more broadly, "That's still going to be funny," he commented, leaving open for Ella what he meant by that. "Then you would cheat on your companion, my brother, if the right one came by?" asked Kol, to which Ella threw a second pillow in his face. "No! Your brother can do whatever he wants, I don't care, but I never again imply that I would on cheat anyone," she resisted, and the suspicion that she had been deceived in her world, perhaps once, arose, how wrong I would be with it, I had no idea.

Kol laughed at her words, "He's so old-fashioned, he doesn't do that, maybe you can pull the stick out of his ass," he replied, and Ella looked at him. Kol had managed to get her to think, "You are his companion after all," he added, and the next moment he disappeared. "Something that no one gets tired of mentioning," Ella muttered, "You seem to be annoyed by it, am I such a bad choice?" I informed myself with her, on which her blue eyes looked at me, therein were pain and regret? What could she regret?

"I'm the bad choice," she muttered, leaving me no opportunity to ask what she meant by that, because she turned around to get up from the bed. Did she regret that she was my companion?

But before she could get up, I handed her my hand, her knee hadn't changed since this morning. "Can't I even take a step without which you are standing in front of my nose?" she informed me. "Trying to keep me at a distance doesn't work, I know you don't want for some reason that I'll get to know you better, I have a responsibility to you, whether you like it or not,"I replied, and Ella didn't look at me. I put my hand under her chin and gently forced her to look at me, "I don't know what the witches did to you, but I'm not going to just leave you to yourself and if it takes years for you to trust me, I have patience," I clarified, letting go of her chin.

Ella didn't look at me, "If there was a way to send you back into your own life, I would do it," I revealed to her, I wish I could send her back, but it didn't work.

"Nobody misses me there anyway," Ella replied, and before I could ask her what she meant, I saw it myself. Ella showed me how she was at a crossroads,shared avoice with her that she could take a look at her family, she could decide to go back to her world, or stay here.

I could see what she had seen, her family with her, but it wasn't the same Ella sitting here in front of me on the bed and showing me this. It was a different Ella.

The voice asked her if she wanted to take a look into the future with her companions, she deniedthat she did not want to be influenced and I could feel that she doubted, but before she could make a decision, the voice advised her to listen to her feeling, but that did not happen, the witches had brought her back.

The witches had taken away her decision whether she wanted to return to her world or whether she stayed. The injustice was unbelievable and Ella sat on the bed and didn't look at me.
