The Story of The Original Sacrifice (3)

Chapter 9

* Anastasia *

We got off the plane and Elijah got a corvette and threw our bags in the trunk , driving us down a winding road . From the looks of the airport , we were somewhere in the U.K . I had no idea what we were doing here. We didn't have any houses here and so there was really no reason for coming here . As we drove through London , we ended up in the beautiful countryside . I saw all of the green rolling hills and some babbling brooks . Finally ,we made our way out of the woods and I saw a small cottage . A fimiliar cottage . I gasped . It was the cottage where Elijah proposed to me .It still looked the same after all of these years . He smiled and grabbed my hand . 

" Remember ? " he asked .

I nodded .

" How could I forget ? " I whispered , looking down at my wedding ring .

He took my hand and kissed it , turning the car off and walking over to get my  bags . As soon as we were about to walk through the door , he picked me up . 

" What is this ? " I asked suprised .

" Tradition . Carry the bride over the threshold . " he laughed .

I rolled my eyes .

"Isn't that only for newly weds ? " I asked .

" Everyday feels like the first to me . I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. " he admitted , setting me down on the edge of the sofa while he went to get the rest of my bags . 

I sighed and looked after him . 

" You're still sexy after all these years . Maybe it's the hair . " I said with a giggle, knowing he could hear me .

" Must be . " he called in after me from the car .

I slid off the couch and made my way into the bedroom  . It was just as I'd left everything . I smiled and ran my hand over the wooden furniture . 

" Hmmmm . " I said with a small smile .

I felt arms around my waist .

" Are you up for a swim ? " Elijah asked me .

I nodded .

" Mmmhmm . " I said contently .

He chuckled .

" Alright . I'll meet you out at the pool . " he replied .

I felt his arms move from my waist and couldn't help but frown slightly . I felt like I could handle anything as long as he was holding me . The pain and the whole in my chest was back .I sighed and walked over to my bag , changing into a black bikkinni and walked outside to see Elijah already in the pool. It was a warm night with a slight breeze. He had his back to me , looking up at the stary sky . I waded into the water and made my way over to him wrapping my arms around him . He didn't look down at me , only wrapped his arms around me and held me . 

" Do you think she's up there ? " he asked after a moment of silence .

I nodded , kissing his hand . 

" There's no other place for angels to go my love . " I whispered .

He looked down at me and stroked my cheek . 

" I'm sorry for bringing it up . " he replied .

I shook my head.

" Don't be . We've never talked about how YOU'RE doing . " I said squeazing his hand gently .

He nodded .

" It's hard . I keep thinking it's a bad dream and that it's my fault because I can't wake up . " he said .

I looked down at the water .

" It's not your fault . It's mine . I was to late . I should've been keeping an eye on her . " I said shaking my head .

He froze .

" Is that what you think ? "  he asked , turning my cheek to make me look at him .

I nodded . 

He shook his head . 

" No . It wasn't your fault . Don't believe that Anastasia . She wouldn't want that . You did everything you could . We have to take the hand dealt to us , angel . " he said , cupping my face in his hands .

I blinked a few times and nodded , reaching up on my tiptoes to kiss him . He wrapped his arms around my waist and we fell back in the water with a splash , not breaking the kiss .

* Klaus *

I was out for a walk when someone ambushed me , slamming me into the concrete .

" OUCH ! " I yelped .

" We just came to say the truce is over . " replied one of the old hags .

I blinked . It was a bad dream . It had to be . 

" Go away ! " I cried , starting to tremble .

* Elena *

I was in my room, going through Stefan's old things that he'd given me when there was a knock on my door .

" Come in . " I said , fingering his jacket .

I heard someone clear thier throat and I looked up to see Kol . I gave him a small smile and patted the bed next to me .

" Hey . " I said .

He looked down , sitting next to me .

" I'm sorry . I shouldn't have kissed you . " he said .

A frown appeared on my face .

" It was mutual , Kol . " I said honestly .

He looked up suprised and I nodded .

" You mean .... " he trailed off .

" I like you Kol . I like you alot . I know that we're both still grieving , but Katherine and Stefan would want us to  be happy . After all , we have eternity . And we bonded over that . " I said looking down at my hands .

Kol smiled and nodded , pulling me into another kiss .

* Anastasia * ( As I write this chapter , I have the song " Can You Feel The Love Tonight " from the Lion King stuck in my head XD . Just thought I'd share that with you . )

Somehow we made our way back inside and onto the bed . I was stradeling Elijah and he was kissing me fiercely . He worked his way down to my neck and I tangled my hands in his hair . 

" I can't do this . " I said , rolling off of him .

Elijah paused suprised .

" Huh ? " he asked confused .

" I'm tired . " I replied , sliding under the covers and turning away from him as I closed my eyes and tried to drift into a sleep .

* Elijah *

I sighed , watching Anastasia roll over . I pulled the covers up farther ontop of her to cover her . She was shutting me out . She wouldn't talk to me and it was driving me crazy . We told eachother everything .We trusted eachother . At least we used to ......

* Kol *

I stroked Elena's hair as she slept with her head on my chest .  She's just made me so happy . Even though Katherine was gone , Elena was here and that's what mattered . And Elena was right . Katherine would want me to be happy . A little awkard for me to feel something for a bunny eaters girlfriend , but Stefan was a good guy . I think I could possibly be falling in love with Elena . 

* Anastasia *

As soon as I drifted into a sleep , I was plagued by nightmares and flashbacks . It was all so real . It was like everything was actually happening again. Why could they just leave me alone ?! I relieved the battle and my daughter's death . I felt a hand on me and screamed , whirling up just in time to see something move outside of the door and then dissapear . Elijah heard me scream and whirled up a second after the thing and pulled me into his arms as I cried in hysterics .
