Soulmates//Elijah Mikaelson

•Two•

A little while later, Alexandra stood with Hayley in the tomb at the cemetery, witches stood around them as well. Sophie had brought Elijah here to explain everything to him.

They were just waiting for her go ahead to bring Hayley out. Alexandra and Hayley glanced at each other, she could see straight through Hayley's façade to have a confident, strong mask. Alexandra gave her a comforting smile.

"Bring her out!" Sophie yelled. Hayley's eyes widened as three other witches started ushering Hayley and Alexandra out of the tomb. As they stepped towards Elijah, his eyes widened as he looked over Hayley. His eyes then again fell on Alexandra. Hayley seemed confused, not knowing who he was, but what radiated off her even more was irritation.

"Who the hell are you?" Hayley spat. Alexandra bit her lip to keep herself from laughing. She had explained to Hayley before who he was but obviously she wanted to get her own answers. Elijah frowned.

"Give us a moment, please." Elijah asked. Sophie nodded before Elijah walked over to Alexandra and Hayley. He gestured back towards the tomb before Hayley glanced at Alexandra again. She nodded before Hayley signed and walked back into the tomb. Elijah sent Alex a nod before following the pregnant werewolf.

After letting them speak for almost an hour, Sophie grew impatient and entered the tomb.

"I'm glad you feel that way, because we need your help." Sophie expressed crossing her arms. Alexandra followed after her, standing slightly to the side. Elijah turned towards them and gestured to Hayley.

"What, precisely, is it that you want and what does it have to do with this young woman?" Elijah asked, his hands shoved inside his pockets as he gestured with his head towards Hayley.

"We want to run Marcel and his vampires out of town. Klaus is the key. Everything Marcel knows about being a vampire, he learned from Klaus. Marcel trusts him, looks up to him, and he won't see the betrayal coming." Sophie explained briefly. Elijah watched her movements suspiciously. There was something else they wanted, he just didn't know what it was.

"Yes, well, as I'm sure you're aware, my brother Niklaus doesn't like to be told what to do." Elijah expressed while looking around the room. His eyes fell on Alex who chuckled lightly.

"I bet that's the biggest understatement of the year." Alex blurted out paying no mind to who was listening to her. Elijah smirked and sent her a slight nod in agreement.

"That's why I brought you here. Marcel drove the werewolves out of town decades ago. Do you really think he's going to welcome a hybrid baby to the neighborhood? Convince Klaus to help us, and no one has to know about the newest member of the Original family." Sophie threatened. Alexandra rolled her eyes at Sophie's threat. They were threatening an unborn baby, who does that. Alex hadn't wanted any part in it but she knew that they were only doing this to get something else. Alexandra knew she had to be in the loop to stop them from achieving their end goal.

"That sounds remarkably like blackmail." Elijah stated raising his head a little higher to appear stronger in a sense. He was trying to undermined them. Alex crossed her arms and hummed in agreement.

"Like I said, I'm desperate." Sophie breathed. They conducted a staring contest before Elijah parted his lips, taking in a deep breathe.

"Well, then, I have my work cut out for me, don't I?" Elijah spoke, his lips raising into a smile as he controlled his want to murder Sophie. He sent Hayley a nod before starting to exit the tomb. His hand brushing against Alexandra's arm as he walked past her causing him to pause. Alex turned her head and looked up at him, a look of shock and adoration passed his features. Confused, Alex took a step away from him. Elijah signed and just continued his way out.
