TRIPLE UPDATE

Hayley and Klaus came back from mystic falls today and I could totally tell they had a fun two days together they wouldn't stop smiling at each other. It was actually sickening. I wanted to go to see everyone but it was 'Klaus and Hayley's vacation' lucky bastards. I sent my gifts to them with Hayley anyway. I also told everyone to be nice to her and that she was my sister. That was a very long ass conversation by the way.

Now on to me.

I had a somewhat good time. I haven't been able to talk to Elijah about the kiss or just in general he has been so busy. But I did talk to my friends a lot. They told me where they are going with college and that Jeremy is back.

Right now I sat in kittens room and guess what? Elijah walks in while I'm looking at Davina's old sketches.

"There you are." He said with a smile.

"Here I am."

Elijah gestures to the sketches. "Davina's drawings."

"Yeah. Morbid, I know." I say shuffling through the sketches. "I was just thinking, we never figured out why she drew those pictures of Celeste. Anyway, I'm just killing time, now that me and Hayley are on vampire lockdown."

"Whoever did this, we will deal with them. It won't be long." He reassures.

"I'm not worried. Just think it's kind of funny that it took some big, supernatural threat for you to even come into the same room as me for more then a few seconds ever since..."

"I do apologize if you feel neglected." He said as he walked closer to the bed. "I have been occupied. My siblings are in some quarrel. Niklaus remains agitated. You'll recall that even our slightest interactions seem to...infuriate him."

"So Klaus is a dick, and you want to be a good big brother. So we can't hang out. That sum it up? I get it, Elijah. It just seems like a really crappy deal."

Hayley and I walk into the courtyard to see Elijah trying to call Rebekah.

"Rebekah is not answering her calls." He says when he turns to us.

"You worried about whoever killed those daywalkers still being out there?" I asked.

"Frankly, I'm worried that she had something to do with this. She's very displeased with Niklaus, perhaps even conspiring," Elijah says as he notices Thierry drinking alone. "With others."

"Thierry, is it?" He asks as we walk over to him.

"That's right." He replies.

"My sister is rather fond of you. Strange, she's not typically drawn to unremarkable men. Would you care to explain your sudden magnetism?"

"I don't know what you're..." Elijah, annoyed, speeds to him and grabs him by the throat and pushes him against the wall.

"You can either tell me what you know, or I can distribute tiny pieces of you throughout the Quarter." Elijah threatens. I like this side of him. Kinda hot.

Thierry reluctantly says, "She asked me to keep an eye out on witch stuff. I found something, and when I showed her, we were jumped by some guy. He desiccated her with his touch."

"Like a coward, you left her."

"What was I supposed to do, fight some warlock that took out an Original?"

"Where was this, exactly?" Hayley asks looking at Thierry intently.

"The docks, warehouse 57. I was just doing what she asked. You cannot tell Klaus about this." Elijah looks over at us then throws Thierry against the opposite wall and he's knocked unconscious.

"I shall take that into consideration." Elijah goes to leave but I grab his arm stopping him.

"I'm coming with you." I say worriedly.

"Me too." Hayley says.

"No. Stay here. The compound is safe." Elijah says trying to convince us but i'm to stubborn.

"Rebekah is in trouble. We're going." I say walking past him but he grabs my arm stopping me.

He looks into my eyes and considers it, and sighs. "Do not leave my sight. Understand?" I nod, and he looks over at Hayley who nods as well, then the three of us leave for the docks.

We walk in to the warehouse to see Rebekah in the middle of a salt circle with symbols in the middle.

"Rebekah." Elijah says as we go to get her but a barrier stops us.

"What's happening?" Hayley asks.

"Some kind of boundary spell. Someone is channeling her. Typically, it's a lethal process, but, because she's an original, she cannot die. Instead, she's an endless source of power."

"So what are we going to do?" I ask.

He turns to Hayley and says, "You have to get her out of there."

"You're not listening. We cannot enter the circle. There's some kind of confinement spell... If I can't remove her, we can't break the link." All the sudden Hayley gets a phone call she leaves us to talk.

"It's a convoluted spell. It's like a witch's recipe. You can spoil the balance by adding a more potent ingredient. A mystical binding agent. I don't know, volcanic ash, rock salt...anything up to and including eye of newt."

"What about the blood of a witch?" Elijah asks.

"Do you have the blood of a witch?"

Elijah hangs up then turns to me. "I need a favor."

I immediately understand and nod.

"Guys! I have to go! I'll be safe! Take care of Rebekah!" I hear Hayley yell out before I hear her running. I look at Elijah and he shakes his head knowing she will be safe and we don't have time.

I give Elijah my wrist, and he gingerly bites into it drawing blood. Then we walk towards the magic circle together. Elijah holds out my wrist and lets the blood fall on the magic boundary line. It starts to fizzle and deteriorate. Elijah is able to get through, and he quickly picks up Rebekah and takes her out of the circle. He reaches for Hayley's hand, and then he speed vamps out of there with Rebekah and Hayley in tow.

•••

I sat with Hayley looking over the sketches for what seems like the billionth time until my bum starts to hurt and the noise of the vampires gets louder. I get up and walk to the balcony and looked down Hayley joining my side not to long after. I put my hand on her shoulder as she puts her hand on her stomach.

"You're gonna be a great mother, you know that?" I ask her with a smile.

"Only if I have you by my side." She said bringing a smile to her lips. I hugged her and we walked off to our rooms feeling way more tired then I'm supposed to. I should get that checked out.
