Betrayed (Elijah Mikealson Fanfiction)

Chapter 1

Elexis had been in Ireland for family bussiness when stuff had happened in Mystic Falls. She was being filled in by her best friend, Elena Gilbert in the Gilbert residence with her son sitting in between them on the bed.

"So, let me get this straight. You are going to be used as a sacrifice for the oldest vampire alive while his brother, the guy that had you kidnapped, has saved you as well?" Elexis asked, sumarizing everything the döppelganger has told her.

"Indeed." Elena said, nodding as she screwed up the six year olds hair. "That about sums it up. I'm hungry, are you hungry?"

"Yes!" The little boy exclaimed before jumping of the bed and taking his auntie Elena with him. Elexis got up, slower, and followed behind them.

She was familiar with the house, as she had been living in the house for two years. She had been living alone the year before but Miranda and Grayson Gilbert didn't want her to live alone as she was only sixteen at the time and had a three year old son. With the permission of the McKenzies, she had moved in with them.

They came down the stairs to find Jenna looking through boxes in the closet underneath the stairs.

"Hey, Jenna." Elexis greeted her, with her hands on her sons chest.

"Elexis, I thought you would only return tomorrow. Hell, Liam even said it might only be next week before you would return." Jenna said, surprised to see her and the little boy. "Hello there, little one."

"I'm not little. I'm already six, aunt Jenna. I'm a big boy!"

"That you are." Elena agreed before frowning at her aunt who was stilll rummaging through boxes. "What are you doing?"

"Perfect timing." She gives her a box and stands up.

"What is this stuff?"

"It looks like that History stuff I've seen before." Elexis said, taking the book from the box.

"Your mom's files from the Historical Society. I got roped into helping Mrs. Lockwood and by roped, I mean very excited to participate." She looked at the 19-year old mom. "Why are you back so early?"

Jenna closed the closet door. Elijah was on the other side, starling Elena. He looks at her before looking at Elexis and the little boy.

"I completed the ritual earlier than expected. They thought it would take me five days, like my father, it took me two instead." Elexis answered before looking at the handsome man in the suit with a smile. "Hi, I'm Elexis and this little one is Henrik."

"Mo-om, I am a big one. But my name is Henrik though, sir." He said to the vampire.

"I'm Elijah and I can't agree more with your son, he is indeed a big boy." The man said with a smirk. "I couldn't help but overhear your conversation and hear about the ritual. What kind of ritual is it?"

"Well, I am from an old Irish family and until the last generation, the oldest boy had to participate in the ritual." Though she knew who he was, based on Elena's reaction, she couldn't help but explain. It was, after all, the polite thing to do. "Now, though, I could participate as the oldest child. Basically, I get dropped in the middle of nowhere with nothing except for a few dollars and a shamrock. I need to find my way back home and along the way I needed to do odd jobs to get money for food and drinks."

"Does everything have a ritual in your family? I know that some old families do that."

"No, not everything. As a woman you do need to prove you are ready for being a mom by giving birth to your firstborn without any form of pain relief." Elexis shuddered at the memory. "Let me tell you that it hurts like a bitch."
