The Lost Mikaelson

CHAPTER 4

Aradia's POV
I woke up the next morning to banging, so headed downstairs to where the sound was coming from. I saw Elena in the doorway with a familiar man in a burnt suit.
"Can I trust you" I hear him say towards Elena "Elijah?" I said suprised
his eyes darted towards me and he looked as if he had seen a ghost, literally "Adaria, Is that really you?" he questioned me astonished "It can't be, you're meant to be dead" he said looking shocked

Flashback:
It was a cold night in late Novemeber, 1511 and I had been running from my mother for about two years, in which time I had given birth to my daughter Luena. We had managed to seek safe passage out of Italy a while back and have been living in Aberdeen since then. A kind lady called Gwen had let us move in with her as she lived alone and loved children

I had been working on a spell, so I can track my mothers movements. I didn't think about it whilst doing the spell, the spell didn't just show me where my mother was, but every one of my blood relatives. Most of the people shown were all in scotland as well, two of them were only a town or so away so I decided to go there, leaving my daughter with Gwen

The spell had lead me to a rough looking tavern. I pull the hood of my cloak over my head to hopefully blend in as I approach the bar area. I'm handed a beer as someone sits by the side of me.
"Aren't you a little young to be in here" I hear a voice chuckle from the side of me "No one else seems to mind, not to mention I'm 19 so no i'm not actually too young" I replied as I turned to see a man with dark hair and brown eyes as he continued to look forward "You're British" he says "I grew up in Southern England, yes. Before I moved to Italy. And now I live here, although it probably won't be for much longer" I said as I caught his eye and he looked towards me shocked "I apoligise for staring, you remind me of someone" he said looking down at me
I knew exactly who this man was, I had in fact been given the middle name 'Eliana' in honor of him. He was my uncle Elijah

I here another British accent heading in our direction as I turn my head in the other way, knowing exactly who the other man is but I'm not ready to talk to him yet. I don't really listen to their conversation as I'm too busy writing a note for my uncle. I quickly shove the note into his pocket as I slipped out of the back entrace

As I'm heading back to Gwen's home I have a feeling that I'm being followed, I turn around to be met with a pair of blue eyes "Hello there" the stranger said "Not interested" I said whilst turning back around to carry on walking, but he grabbed my arm and spun me around "Let go of me!" I shouted to the man who somehow seemed to be much stronger than me
"Who are you?!" I said angryly glancing up at the man "I saw you speaking with Elijah Mikaelson. I guess you could say I have a strong hatred for his family" he said "It was just a coversation, I don't know him or his family" I said trying to hide how terrified I was "You and I both know that's a lie,  Adaria Eliana Mikaelson" he smirked whilst I struggled, trying to escape "My name is Tristan de Martel, it's a pleasure" he said as I managed to escape his grip
I began running in the opposite dirrection, but he was too fast as he appeared in front of me holding up a knife "I do apologise for this darling" he chuckled as he sliced along my throat and darkness consumed me

Elijah's POV
We had spent a few more hours in the tavern, Niklaus was off feeding on another girl and I couldn't get that stranger from earlier out of my head. She had a way about her. Maybe it was her mannerisms, but she reminded me so much of my little sister.

I was sat at the bar stool still when I had placed my hand into my jacket pocket where I had found a folded napkin, on the outside it read 'It was nice meeting you' I opened the note believing I knew who it was from, in which I was correct but I was shocked once I read the note
I jumped up from my seat and ran out of the tavern. I have to find her

I started running down the cobblestone streets, when the smell I know all too well hit my nose... blood.
Of course I followed the smell and that's when I saw her, she looked so peaceful laying there. I collapsed to my knees by the side of her body as tears streamed down my face
I had failed her
End of Flashback

"I buried you" he said looking up at me "Yeah thanks for that by the way. It took me days to get the dirt out of my hair" I say pouting "I guess you found my note Elijah, so surely it's obvious how I'm alive" I said seriously
"Guys can we please not do this here" Elena said in a hushed tone "You two go ahead, I'll speak to you later Elijah" I said as he nodded and followed Elena to her car
