"So, I was thinking that maybe the two of us could walk into the forest together." Anastasia suggested and Elijah wraps his arms around her waist kissing her neck softly.

"I would love that and maybe we can find you some animals along the way. Might see Stefan along the way too." Elijah shrugs jokingly making Anastasia laugh a little before turning around to look at him.

"You always love nature even if you get your million dollars shoes dirty." Anastasia smirks as Elijah rolls his eyes.

"Alright, no need to joke about my shoes."
"It is true." Anastasia giggles as Elijah chuckles before placing both his hands on her face and kisses her gently. She wraps her arms around his waist kissing him back feeling and sending each other the love, loyalty, adoration to one another.

They pulled away and Elijah gently kisses the tip of her nose making her giggle. They pulled away as Elijah takes her hand and left their room. They walk downstairs smiling and talking when they heard something crash inside the kitchen causing their heads to turn. They look at one another before running towards the kitchen only to see Henrik pinning Lucien to the floor.

"You have the guts to come back here after you tried to get your way with Anastasia?! How dare you?!" Henrik shouted angrily as every single one of the member in the family came into the kitchen.

"I can explain." Lucien starts as he pushes Henrik off him and went to the parlor causing the others to follow him. Finn and Klaus block the exits leading to the bathroom as Kol and Rebekah block the one leading to the kitchen.

"Oh really? What are you going to say, wasn't my fault? She came to me first? What the hell is it?!" Henrik shouted which shocked everyone. Elijah held his wife close to him before they both walked towards Klaus.

"We'll be in the forest." Elijah whispers and Klaus nodded as he lets them through before going back to blocking the parlor. Elijah and Anastasia walk towards the front door and opens it as Elijah's eyes widen.

"Celeste." He mutters as the woman gave him a smile.

"Hello, Elijah." She greeted as her eyes went towards Anastasia.

"And you are?"
"Anastasia, Elijah's wife." Anastasia tells her.

"Oh, pleasure." Celeste says with a tight smile on her face.

"You cannot be alive...Niklaus killed you." Elijah says frowning as Celeste chuckles.

"Oh my sweet Elijah, I am a witch. I have...a few tricks up my sleeves." She says smirking seductively towards his way earning a glare from Anastasia. Celeste's smirk turns down slowly as she began wheezing. She held her neck as she tries to breathe, but no air is coming in or out.

"What?" Elijah mutters as he quickly turns towards Anastasia who was fidgeting as her eyes turned black and blue.

"Sweetheart, enough."
"She's trying to take you away from me Elijah and I am not letting some bitch do it!" She shouted her voice changing differently.

"What in the bloody hell is going on here?" Klaus asks appearing before backing away as he and his family sees Anastasia.

"Anastasia, control it. Do not let it take over. Protect me my love. Protect my heart." Elijah takes both her hands and places them on his chest as Anastasia looks at her hands before up towards him.

Her eyes slowly turns back to their normal ones as he smiled proudly and pulled her in kissing her head softly.

"Good job, love." He says as he hears a deep breathe and coughing from outside their door. They all look as Celeste held her throat before looking up towards them with shock and fear.

"I suggest you run, Celeste before I kill you myself. Never come back here...again." Elijah glares holding his wife close to him as Celeste backs away before turning around and runs off.

"Oh, before anything else happened." Kol mutters then he breaks Lucien's neck and his body fell on the floor before anyone could react.

"Huh, you aren't an idiot after all Kol." Klaus says earning a glare.

"You can bring him to the dungeons unless you didn't build that one." Kol suggests as Klaus and Finn carries the unconscious Lucien and walked away followed by Kol.

"Seems like no nature walks. With Celeste out there...it will be bad for us." Elijah sighs closing the door and Rebekah shrugs.

"Well, I guess Henrik and I will go to the pub and have a few drinks while you two have your self-quarantine. Shall we, brother?" Rebekah looks at him as Henrik nodded and walked out the house with Rebekah.

"Shall we go to my study room?" Elijah smiles and Anastasia nodded as they walked towards the study room.

Celeste stops running as she leans against a tree panting heavily. Her brain racks with so many questions. How did Elijah not fall for me? Who is this Anastasia? How is she powerful?

"She is Elijah's wife meaning she is the very first woman he had fallen for." Celeste hears as she turns around seeing a unfamiliar man wearing an obsidian ring.

"Who are you?" Celeste asks as the man smirks.

"Holdes, but I call myself Herald to keep my identity hidden." He says as Celeste frowns.

"From who?"
"A certain enemy. I am trying to get his daughter, but the fool manages to hide her away from me." He says walking away slightly before turning around to face her.

"You must be Celeste, the witch that falls in love with the noble man then dies in the end." Holdes chuckles as he claps his hands.

"Such a tragic story you have." He says as Celeste glares at him.

"And what do you want?" She asks.

"Many things, my dear. First." He quickly appears in front her with a blink of an eye and grasp her neck with his hand.

"I must have more power." He says as he opens his mouth. Celeste felt her power draining away from her body as she struggles to get free, but his hold was too strong as she grew weaker. His eyes turns black as he kept taking all her power before Celeste's skin turned pale and her hair as well. Holdes let's her go as Celeste fell limp on the floor. He breathes heavily feeling power flowing through him again as he massages his neck.

"Thanks witch." He chuckles before grabbing her and dragging her body away.

Anastasia's eyes widen suddenly as Elijah put his book down and run towards his wife.

"What's wrong my love?" Elijah asks as Anastasia breathes heavily.

"I felt my lungs tightened and power going through me. I don't know what it was...but it felt dark...too dark." Anastasia says gasping softly as Elijah pulls her close and kisses her head.

"What else happened?" He asks and Anastasia shook her head.

"I...I don't know. Maybe my father's book has something." She looks up at him as Elijah nods and takes his wife's hand. They both went to their room as Elijah grabs her father's book and opens it. They both began researching when Elijah stops at a page.

"Obsidian ring?" He asks looking at Anastasia with fear as she did the same.

"It releases power and life...and takes them as well." He mutters reading what it says. He puts the book down after feeling his wife's distress and held her close to him. Anastasia held onto him gripping his suit and Elijah kisses his head softly.

"It's going to be okay. I will not let him hurt you." He whispers to her.
