Abrasion (Mikaelson)

Chapter 4: Disturb The Peace

And finally months after I asked you all for opinions, the Elijah and Evangeline official ship name has been decided.

Elijeline

I'd like to thank miss_lavancha for the name :) now read on!

Evangeline POV:
A WEEK LATER
I woke up to the sound of a knock at my door, I already knew who it was and simply rolled over in my bed, pulling the blankets up to cover my face. "Come in, Elijah." I grumbled, using my hand to feel around on my bedside table until I located my daylight ring and slipped it on my middle finger. The door opened and I snuggled further into the sheets, Elijah has been waking me up at seven in the morning for the past six days. "Here to disturb the peace once more?"

The bed dipped on one side and I knew he'd taken a seat, yes feel free to disturb me even more why don't you. "I've removed the books from your bedside table, so I don't see how you plan to retaliate." He remarked as I pressed my face into my pillow. Yesterday I had taken it upon myself to toss a rather large book across the room at him when he'd entered, it was the only thing I could use against him without getting up. "Katerina called."

"What did she say?" My interest peaked and I emerged from my blanket cocoon, thankful that the curtains blocked out most of the sunlight and let in only enough to allow me to see. Sunlight this early in the morning was a burden to anybody who enjoyed sleeping. Katherine hadn't contacted me since she denied telling me anything about her plan, why had she called Elijah if he was the one she wanted to keep secrets from? "Has she got the cure?"

I saw Elijah nod his head and a grin spread over my lips, finally she could come back. "She's in hiding right now from Niklaus, he wants the cure from her. I've been told to deliver you to her in one peace with as little trauma as possible." He smiled at me as I rubbed my eyes, the clock on my wall said it was only six in the morning. Could he not have waited that last hour to tell me this? "She'll text you to tell you where she is when we leave, so pack your things."

"We're leaving now?"

"Yes, is there a problem with that? We could wait a few hours or just go tomorrow."

"Do you think Klaus will find her within the next twenty-four hours?"

"He hasn't been able to find her himself for five hundred years, one day isn't going to change that."

"Well then could we just go tomorrow? I'm not prepared to go anywhere and it's too early for me to pack anything, what are you even doing at six in the morning?"

Elijah laughed at my question before nodding. "We can wait until tomorrow, and at six in the morning I'm usually planning my day. Taking note of the people I need to kill, compel, or otherwise torture."

"That's a real great way to start of the day, Elijah." I replied sarcastically. "Most people go for Mini Wheats or Cheerios, I go for a nice glass of blood, and you just sit there and plot murders."

He rolled his eyes at me and I resisted the urge to annoy him over the 'rude action' as he'd done to me for the past week. "Are you still having those nightmares?" He asked, yet another thing that had happened in the last six days. Each night I would fall asleep and various images would flash before me, all of them ways Jeremy Gilbert could have killed Kol. Elijah had compelled me to calm down, but that didn't seem to work for the unconscious mind. Sometimes I even saw my brothers there, helping him, and it wasn't pleasant. I woke up screaming most of the time.

"Do you even have to ask?" Last night I had another one, I woke up sweating and couldn't get back to sleep for at least an hour. "I still don't understand why you can't just compel me to forget, I'd honestly appreciate the extra sleep such an action would bestow upon me."
