Unleashed ↠ Elijah Mikaelson

38

"I knew it" Cassie felt victorious for beating out a confession from Elijah. But the man looked broken, for he did not know any ulterior motives, he had truly give up and he thought he would die at the hands of these two. "I got the famous, noble Elijah to confess he is nothing more than a monster"

"What else do you want me to say, Cassandra?" He asked, attempting to shrug his shoulders "you've got me"

"How about an apology?" She growled "for treating my like nothing more than the dirt you scrape from your shoe when in reality we were the same"

Elijah exhaled, he gritted his teeth as he pushed out a small "I'm sorry" but it didn't sound like he meant it, but he really did, how bad did he treat her for her to rebel like this? In light of his red door flinging open, Elijah's Demons escaped and he realised that the man he used to be was exactly like the woman who she is right now. All she needed was a little help.

"What should we do with him now?" Lucien walked up beside her "you've gotten what you wanted?"

"I have a few things in mind" she stepped back, turning to Lucien and kissing him, her eyes were open as she looked at Elijah whilst she did. Though Lucien's eyes were shut, she took the perfect opportunity to finish what she started.

Her hand reached into his chest and pulled out his heart, she felt his soft lips harden as he opened his eyes and fell to his knees. Cassandra kicked him down, knowing she only had a short amount of time before he would awake again.

"Don't say anything" she lectured Elijah, running behind him and unlocking his chains, the metal fell harshly to the floor with a thud and Elijah stretched out his arms "just help me get him downstairs and locked away"

She was going to take him into the caves, however it was much too far away for now, the cells downstairs were perfectly close and good for a temporary lock away.

"fine. But afterwards, I want an explanation" he demanded, trying to get his energy back, Elijah walked forward and lifted Lucien's arms as Cassandra took his legs.

"Ugh, okay" the two dragged Lucien's body downstairs very sneakily, pulling him upright and pretending that he was a little tipsy when someone enquired, luckily, the witches never showed.

"Is that man okay?" Someone approached them as Cassie's hand slipped and almost dropped him to the floor, luckily she caught him and stood him back up.

"Yep" Cassie quickly straightened her back and made Lucien look as alive as possible, his jacket buttoned up to mask the blood. "He has a bit of a drinking problem, I've told him to stop but as soon as he gets a whiff of the stuff, he..." Cassie made the motion, pretending to drink "we're just taking him to his room"

They carried on until they reached the stairs, and then the cell where they threw him in and locked the doors. Cassie took some chains as well and reinforced the iron doors and drenched the bars with vervain and wolves-bane, one of those would definitely burn him.

As soon as both were satisfied with Lucien's security, Elijah took the top of Cassandra's arm and dragged her out of the basement and back up to her room where the sage still burnt. He didn't want Lucien eavesdropping on their conversation and he definitely didn't want anyone else from hearing it.

He pushed her into her room and locked the door behind him as he walked in. "Was it all so necessary?" Elijah asked "the torment, the chains, the pain you inflicted"

"Come on Elijah, you know in a business like ours you have to make it believable, either that or he would have killed us all there and then" she snapped back, already having thought of her reply when he demanded his explanation. "What does it matter? We have Lucien downstairs, locked away, I was able to get into his thoughts and I saw everything, We know how to kill him, thanks to me, now stop it with your..."
