"ELIJAH" Leah walked into the room where Elijah was undressing himself. He had told her to get some rest but she had declined. Klaus and Rebekah were taken by evil witches, she couldn't rest when she knew they were being tortured. "I told you to stay in your room and rest" Elijah threw his shirt to the side as he casted his gaze to Leah's concerned face. His glare softened as she smiled kindly trying to help him. "I need you to make a list of these names" Elijah instructed her as she stepped closer to him running her fingers over the names that appeared on his body. He shivered by her elegant touch, it felt like he was touched by a purified being.
It reminded him of how much innocence she had and how much she didn't. "Lijah, what did the witches do to you? And why can I read this? I'm heavily dyslexic" Leah removed her hand from his chest. Elijah felt empty. He didn't know how much he desperately craved her touch till it was gone. "I believe they represent the names of woman Celeste inhabited for the past two centuries. and to answer that question...well, they're witches, it think this was made to fool the both of us" Elijah looked down at his arms, viewing the names that were written on him. Marcel handed the pen and paper over to Leah. "It's called a Devinette. It's old school, kind of a riddle. Witches use them to teach their kids. Solve it and it disappears" Marcel looked from Leah to Elijah with a questioned look. When did this happen?
"Why though? Why me?" Leah tilted her head at Elijah who looked away guilty. "Celeste forced me to make a choice between Hayley, Aleiara, and my siblings, and now she means to mock that choice, taunting me with a childish game. The longer the game, the more they suffer. To find Niklaus and Rebekah we need to solve this riddle. The solution lies somewhere in these names" Elijah placed his hand in Leah's as she examined the names on his skin not thinking much of his gesture but Marcel and Elijah thought a lot of it. "The name next to Sabine—Annie LaFleur." Marcel pointed out and Leah looked to him for more information.
"She's a witch that was shunned from her coven just over a year ago. never knew why, but I can find out" Marcel shifted his gaze over to Leah and she nodded for him to go. Marcel hesitated looking at his 'niece' but then decided it would be best if he goes. "Don't go yet, Marcel. I will go with you when she finish writing these names" Elijah called out to the vampire. "Well, if you be still, I would have a lot more written down. Like I'm still dyslexic quit moving" Leah complained as Elijah moved on purpose just to annoy her. Leah smacked her lips together offended by his behavior. You would think that Elijah would have a more serious out take on things like this but he just couldn't around his girl.
After a couple more minutes of writing names down, Leah had finally finished. She picked up Elijah's shirt and helped him put it back on. She buttoned his shirt fiddling with her lip out of habit. "The way your biting your lip makes me think that you like it" Elijah winked as he reached down to grab his suit jacket. "It's a habit, quit making it sexual" she deadpanned but ended up smiling at the man in front of her. "It already is" he shrugged but before she could reply he was gone.
