Lover • Klaus Mikaelson

Thirty Five

Amelia made her way to the cemetery, Elijah close behind her. They come upon a group of people wearing black, surrounding one of the graves. Amelia snapped the necks of two of them, as Elijah killed two more. Monique looks at them in boredom, as the other people around her back away.

"My siblings have been taken. Where are they?" Elijah asked Monique.

"You're interrupting my Aunt Sophie's consecration," Monique responded, ignoring his question. Amelia and Elijah exchanged confused looks.

"How did this happen?" Amelia asked.

"Aunt Sophie was a casualty of war," Monique answered. Amelia raised an eyebrow, but before she could say more Elijah spoke up.

"Monique, I recommend you give me what I want. Unless, of course, you'd like me to level this place and everything in it."

"That won't be necessary. I have a message for you from Celeste," the witch replied. Monique raised her hand and suddenly Elijah seems very uncomfortable. He pulled at the collar of his shirt, and then unbuttoned the top to see the name Theresa tattooed on his chest. Monique continued with the spell, and Elijah rolled up his sleeve and Amelia saw there were other names tattooed on his forearm.

"What the hell?" The redhead whispered. She looked over to the witch, who smirked at her before turning to Elijah.

"To find what you're looking for, follow the path she left behind," Monique told them. The two stare her down, before turning to each other and vamp speeding away.

They stormed back into the compound and saw Marcel talking to some of the local police.

"Anything?" Elijah called out, and the police walk away from Marcel as the two approached him.

"They're putting eyes and ears out everywhere. Daywalkers are working every contact we've got. Cops, dock workers, guys in the Treme... Word is out: anyone trying to earn favor with me gets a lifetime of it if they find them," Marcel informed them.

"Good. I need a pen and paper," Elijah ordered, walking away. Amelia rolled her eyes and her and Marcel quickly follow after him.

"Hey, am I taking orders from you now, or are we in this together?" Marcel asked.

"Pen and paper, Marcellus. Now," Elijah repeated, and Marcel sighed.

"I want her back just as much as you do, you know," Marcel told Elijah, before he turned to Amelia. "The both of them." He walks over to the desk to start looking for the pen and paper.

"Hayley!" Elijah called, as he started to take of his shirt, earning a raised eyebrow from Amelia.

"Elijah! You're back. Did you find any.." she stops when she realized that Elijah was shirtless, before recovering. "..thing?" Hayley looks over to Amelia, and then back to Elijah who is staring intently at the brunette. Amelia suppressed a groan. She did not need to stand in the room while these two had eye sex with each other. 

"What is happening?" Hayley asked.

"I need you to make a list of these names," Elijah told her, as Hayley started walking towards him. "Please." 

"Okay," Hayley responds. Amelia pinches the bridge of her nose at the sexual tension between the two, and reminded herself to remind Hayley later to kiss Elijah.

"Sabine," Hayley read aloud. "Elijah, what is this?" She asked after she finished examining the names.

"I believe they represent the names of the women Celeste inhabited for the past two centuries," Elijah tells her, and Amelia raised an eyebrow. Marcel comes back over and hands Hayley the pen and paper.
