Dark Times X Elijah Mikaelson FF |OC|

Chapter XVIII

"So now we're doing something like a boyfriend and a girlfriend thing?" She asked him with a little hint of mischief in her voice.

Elijah's brown eyes wandered over her face. He couldn't stop looking at that beautiful face, those beautiful eyes, her dark hair that fell into her eyes. Elijah was slowly falling for her.

He cleared his throat and smiled "No some boyfriend girlfriend thing, my dear. We are boyfriend and girlfriend."

Liz gently bit into her lower lip. She did it every time, couldn't control it. "Hmmm, I still think about it." pecking his cheek, she turned to leaving him there.

"Where you going? I don't know what to do." He told her. Elizabeth's face lights up with a smile big from ear to ear. "Chill out, lover boy. It's not like I'm leaving you forever, I just need to tell my mom I'm here. And also to share that I brought someone with me."

"Okay, okay. Just....come back. Please?" Elijah said uncertainly. He didn't know what to do in a stranger's house and he didn't feel good about get in here in the first place. About the one who let him in.

Elizabeth walked up the stairs, headed to her mother's bedroom, hoping not much had changed since her last visit.

"Mother-" she knocked on the door "can I come in?" When no one answered her she opened the door and walked in.

Margaret was right across from her, facing her back to the door, looking for something in the closet.

"Moms?" Elizabeth approached her. Her mother turned around in an instant and immediately started hugging her heavily.

"Eli, you are here. I'm so glad to see you again." Margaret said it still in a hug. Liz slowly couldn't breathe, although she hugged her mother, it wasn't that emotional for her.

Not that Elizabeth doesn't love her mother, but she still blames her. She blamed her for her alcohol problem and for Ryan being in her father's care.

"Yeah, moms, well I'm here and I come with someone." The dark hair pulled away from her mother and started playing with her fingers. She was nervous, no doubt about that.

"His name is Elijah and we're somehow..... together? " Her words came out of her mouth as a question, she still wasn't sure what had happened, whether Elijah was serious or not at all, and she still wasn't sure if she had forgiven him that Andrea thing.

"Are you pregnant? Are you going to get married?"

"What? No! I mean, maybe.. Well not like in some near future, we're not that long together but, I would be able to imagine my life with him. But no. No I'm not pregnant nor we are engaged. Chill moms."

"Ou, and I thought I might be a grandmother. Well, whatever." Margaret went back to the closet and started hamming a song.

"I'm going to go see Elijah, I should show him around and keep him company since he's in a stranger's house." Elizabeth wasn't waiting for another answer and just left the room. Too awkward conversation for her.

She had a million questions in her head, her mother was behaving strangely, but the only reason she saw here was her father's arrival.

Steven has already set up a new family, has a wife who is expecting a child with, and she also has one more daughter from a previous relationship. Elizabeth didn't want to attend these family celebrations, but she did it for her brother. Ryan was everything for her.

As she walked down the hallway, she heard strange noises from the lower. It was like smashing something that's made of glass or something that shouldn't break on its own.

She rushes down in speed and what she saw surprised her.

It certainly wasn't what she was expecting.

Elijah held Dan by the throat, high him up and prevented him from oxygen. He choke him. Tightly, as it there's no tomorrow.

"Jesus Christ, Elijah! Get a fuck of him!" She yelled at him. This was exactly what she was afraid of. I mean, one of the things she was afraid of.

"Elijah! Look. At. Me. Now!" Those words forced him to loosen his squeeze, but Danny's smirk forced him to start choke him again.

"ELIJAH! We didn't come here to make scenes, let him go immediately. We need to go talk!" And Liz just walked out of there.

She knew full well that Elijah was going to make the right decision, and yet she wanted to strangle Dan herself a million times, she couldn't let it happen.

So she stood in the kitchen waiting for him to come. For Elijah to come.

"If you even know what stupid words he was saying-"

"I know." She interrupted him, but he clearly didn't see it.

"With every word he used, I found myself getting closer and closer to ripping out his heart-"

"I know." She did it again. Once again, Elijah continued.

"You said unpolite, but this man is fucker. He doesn't know how to treat you, he behaves like he can do anything. Elizabeth, unpolite is Ian Carter, this is someone who deserves to be in the hell."

All these words Elijah said, Elizabeth already knew. She knew very well who Dan really was, but she always kept it to herself because no one would believe her.

Although she had no idea who Ian Carter was yet, she didn't even care at the moment.

"I know, Elijah. I know, okay? I'm sorry that I-" This time it was Elijah who cut her off. "You are sorry? For what, Bess? You didn't done anything. That man should go apologize to you at least a million times, what a million times, he should apologize to you every single minute."

A little smile appeared on her face. Liz took a few steps to the his direction and wrapped her arms around his chest. She hugged him hard, tightly, she never wanted to let him go again.

"Come, I want to show you where I grew up." She told him in the chest and Elijah gave her a kiss in her hair. Gave her a hug back, and like her, he wanted to stay like this forever.

Just two of them.

Both found themselves safe in the presence of the other. In Elijah's case, it was that he was found, calmed down by Elizabeth.

He knew what it meant, he knew it very well.
