Unleashed ↠ Elijah Mikaelson

28

"Who created him?" Elijah asked, he had taken the conversation downstairs for everyone to hear, so they know what they're up against.

"Didn't you recognise her? Any of them?" She asked, getting at the people dressed old fashioned-like in her visions "the blonde haired girl, it's Eloise, the older woman, it's Dianne"

"It can't be" Elijah thought back to a few minutes ago when he was watching the vision and he went over the faces of what he could see. She was right.

"They've come back from the dead to carry out what they intended to do 300 years ago" Cassie carried on with what she knew for sure "oh I should have been smarter; I should have stayed in that cell"

"Why?"

"Because, when they were only ancestors, they knew I was locked away, they were okay with me suffering. But now I've done this stupid spell, I've alerted them of my freedom, they know I'm present and they want revenge" Cassandra snapped "I'm just as good as dead, as are all of you. We're all doomed"

"Then what do we do?" Rebekah asked, she made herself seem more confident than what she actually was. Inside she was screaming.

"Like it or not Rebekah, you'll actually have to put up with me a bit more, since your one enemy has now turned into our group of enemies" Cassandra said "there's no going back for me now, we'll have to fight it out"

"Did you see any thing of Lucien?" Klaus asked

"I saw him being controlled like a puppet, I believe they created him as a distraction, we'll focus on him whilst they plot against us" Cassandra answered the question, swallowing the lump in her throat that grew by the minute as her fear crept up behind her "I cannot see a downfall to him, he has no weakness, the only think I can think of is that he's linked to the witches"

"Then we'll have to go on a witch hunt" Klaus smirked, the deliciously evil smile that he made when he thought of murder.

"Our power does not match theirs, not by far. They've spent years on the other side, saving power, gaining more, recruiting witches, I hate to say it, but they are more powerful than we could imagine" she explained, looking up "we do not even have immortality on our side now"

"At least we know who is behind this all" Elijah turned to Marcel "can you alert the vampires, train them as much as you can"

"and I'll tell the wolves" Hayley added "any type of help is needed"

"And me" Cassandra stood up, feeling lightheaded and finally the fury rushed through her "I'm going to the cemetery, to see what we are up against"

"You can't" Elijah refused "you'll just be walking into their territory, they'll kill you"

"They won't; they believe in torture before death, that's why I let my prey have a bit of a run around before I killed them" Cassandra turned around, walking backwards "but not like anyone here cared if I died anyway, I'm just the pawn"

She looked down and saw a jacked draped over the arm of the chair by the door. "Who's jacket is this?" She asked, holding it up in the air. It was a black, leather trim jacket with a jacquard flower print in the middle.

"Mine?" Hayley thought she asked out of something serious, if it had something on it or in it.

"Well, I'm taking it" Cassandra threw it over her shoulders, keeping a strong glare at Hayley. She wasn't going to say anything against it, Cassandra seemed too intimidating. "I'll probably see you all later, if not, I prefer cremation"

Elijah sighed. God, why did she have to be so damn infuriating. And why did he feel like he couldn't let her face this alone. "Cassandra, wait"

She turned around as soon as she reached the gates, and she watched Elijah put his jacket over his white shirt.

"I'm coming with you" He said, jogging to reach her

Cassandra looked Elijah up and down, her eyebrows furrowed as she examined his face. "I'm okay, thanks" she said

Elijah stopped and watched her, it seemed that the only constant thing he felt when he was around her was confusion. "I don't think in your situation you can afford to say no" Elijah stopped her "I'm coming with you, with your consent or not"

Elijah nodded his head and motioned for her to move along.

"It's going to be dangerous" she tried to convince him otherwise, wanting him to stay, as she feared that if the witches caught her in a corner, Cassie would show some true colours, she'd show some emotion and she didn't want anyone seeing that. "There's going to be a lot of people that want you dead, I mean- you might not come out of this Alive" she tried her hardest to persuade him, but he was just too stubborn.

"It sounds like every day to me" Elijah shrugged "now, please..." He motioned forward again

Cassandra huffed, she glared up at his emotionless face "say goodbye to your loved ones now" one last attempt as she edged forwards and out of the door. Elijah followed along.

"You know you are stubborn?" She asked, not looking back as he trailed along behind her.

"And you are insane" Elijah retaliated "walking into a death trap full of people you killed"

"You killed one, so don't put all of the blame on me" Cassie played. She slowed down in the streets, letting people pass her, including Elijah until she was at an actual halt.

"Elijah?" She asked, stopping him. He turned around and raised his eyebrows "I've been locked away for a while, I didn't want anyone to know but I'm not as strong as I used to be, physically, I can't fight if I needed to" she admitted.

Elijah didn't want to go through a whole pep talk right here "there's a converted Church, St. Anne's, it's now a fight gym for vampires, feel free to use it"

"Alright" she shrugged "forget I said anything"
