Devil ♡Elijah Mikaelson♡ [2]

Chapter 4: Devil's Jealousy

The Crescent wolves who are staying at the compound are congregated in the courtyard when Elijah enters the room. "Brother! Niklaus!" Elijah yells. At the sound of Elijah's voice, Coney and Hayley walk into the room to see what is going on.

"You do realize that literally everyone in here has supernatural hearing, right?" Coney asks like it's so obvious.

"Where is my brother?" Elijah demands and Hayley rolls her eyes.

Hayley sarcastically says, "I'll check his calendar... Wait, no. Not his wife, so..."

Elijah, annoyed, says, "Coney, Hayley, this city is under siege by an army of beasts following my deranged mother's every command. Now, considering it was your people who just declared war on my kind, now's not the best time for your particular brand of sass."

Coney, unamused, says, "Klaus left a while ago. If you want to find him, I can't help you. If only there was a magical device that people used to call people? I don't know, I'm out of ideas. Good luck." She turns and walks away with her sister, but stops and turns back at the last moment. "Oh! One more thing, Elijah. Those "beasts" that you're referring to? They may be under Esther's control, but, like you said, they're Hayley people. So, if you hurt them, your bitch mother will be the least of your problems." They turn to leave and Elijah stands and stares as she walks away, looking unhappy.

Coney pulls out her phone and dials a number. "Klaus, stay where you are, I'm coming with you."

In Marcel's living room, Elijah is helping to teach Gia how to fight like a vampire. She goes to punch his chest, but he blocks it. "As a devout feminist, I refuse to say that you hit like a girl," Elijah says. He lets go of her, and she spins around in frustration. "Let's try this again, shall we?"

Gia pouts and says, "Tell me again why I don't get to be outside with everybody else. You know, with the nice teacher?"

Elijah begins to roll up his sleeves and take off his tie to better move around. "You are my responsibility," Elijah says.

Gia smiles and says, "Says the feminist."

Elijah chuckles and says, "Fighting is rhythm. There is a music, there is a meter, there is a pattern. Let that rhythm beat within you." He stands defensively and nods at her. "Again." Gia puts up her fists and starts to fight him, but he easily blocks her blows. The two spin and continue practicing. "Legato." They fight. "Ostinato." They fight. "Crescendo." Gia manages to hit him, but he blocks the majority of it. "And then, once you've established your cadence-"

Gia spins out of his grip, kicks him, and presses him against the wall while he's distracted. Gia smiles and says, "You change the key."

Elijah, panting, says, "Very nice." He grabs her arm and presses her hand against his chest. "Now, the head, or the heart?" Gia hesitates. "None of this matters if you cannot make the kill."

"What if I can't do it?" Gia asks. She lets go of him, but he grabs her arm and puts it back where it was.

"You will. To survive. Now, the head, or the heart?" Elijah asks.

Gia looks terrified, but she shoves her hand into Elijah's chest and grabs his heart. Elijah winces in pain but looks at her proudly. Suddenly, Coney and Hayley enter the apartment and is horrified at what she sees.

"Oh no, don't let me stop you. After all, he taught me this as well, except we had sex afterwards, so don't let me stop you!" Coney says. "Besides, this is what Elijah does. He helps you and then breaks your heart." Gia and Elijah both look startled and mildly embarrassed. Gia takes her hand out of his chest and lets go of him. Coney looks obviously jealous and angry at Elijah, but she plays it cool and approaches them while Elijah heals.
