The next morning

Elena put her phone and turned to her friend Bonnie.

"I thought she would come when she hears you're pregnant" - the witch said to her friend.

"I feel bad now. This new show meant so much to her and now she cancelled everything" - Elena said.

"That's our Care Bear!" - Bonnie said.

"I know, but there is really no need for her to stop her life because mine is such a mess." - the brunette vampire huffed.

"You are not seriously thinking of marrying him, are you?"

"No, actually not" - Elena now looked at the engagement ring and then took it off, placing it on the table.

"Something is so weird about it. It's like I was not myself- like I drank too much. Everything was in such a haze. And last night, again I had this dream of Elijah -"

"The same one?" - Bonnie asked.

"Yes. It's steange, because - how can you have an exact same dream over and over again?"- Elena said.

"What is exactly happening?" - Bonnie asked.

"We leave a club and we walk through Central Park. And we are talking, and holding hands. And he twirls me around, like in a dance and wrapps me up in his arms. He looks at me like - his eyes are so glistening with such love and then he leans to my ear and whispers - 'close your eyes'
And I close my eyes-"- Elena said.

"And?"

"I wake up." - Elena said_"but I know there is something more- and I try to remember - and I can't. It's so - UGH! It must be something important - some message"

"Have you told Elijah about this?" - Bonnie asked her friend.

"No. I wanted to, but I didn't." - Elena said frustrated. And now closed her eyes for a second.

Two years ago, New York

"Close your eyes" - Elijah whispered sweetly in Elena's ear.

The brunette's eyes fluttered shut, with a tad bit of appeehensive tremble. The next she knew was his lips on hers, sweet, heavenly kiss, pulling her into him, now fiercely and she sank into the clouds as his arms envelop her, taking her high up above. His scent sent her into a heady trance, and she could not  recall how they made it to his apartment. 

His arms wrap around her back and in one gentle pull their skin touched. His hands flowed into her hair, and  his eyes beamed at her soft chestnut ones, looking at him breathless. Wetting his lips slightly he now swept her right off her feet, carrying her toward the bed, letting her fall with a soft bounce on the mattress. They lock eyes for just a moment, him now searching for the confirmation in her eyes all  the want and need for him. 

"Love me"- Elena slipped, swallowing hard. Needing nothing more, he was  all business now, undoing her jeans, pulling them off. Now kissing her from her toes upward, slowly, his hands on her legs, brushed over her thighs always just a little higher than the kisses. She arched her back in anticipation, knowing where his fingers will soon reach. Her head rocked back against the pillow as his mouth now touched her, and her first moan escaped her lips. She bit her lips hard, writhing under him, feeling her stomach clench and not long she let a rasp moan out, her body shook, digging her hands now deep into his brown strands. Still burning from her delightful release, a new set of his butterfly kisses stream up her belly now to her breasts, making her gasp anew -

"Elij-ah- please - I need you"

Now locking his eyes with hers again, he smiled bewitchingly-

"All right, precious"- planting a deep kiss, he pulled her underneath him, sliding into her, now cat-nipping her lips delectably, the kissing then getting more fervent, as he moved in and out of her, grunting now entrancingly against her mouth. And now all is heaven, they became one mind, one heart, one soul, utterly and completely drunk with love for one another.

Present, Algiers, Elijah's apartment, 

Jackson walked in the apartment as Elijah invited him in.

"What is it?"

"We received this" - Jackson now pulled a box out of the bag handing it over to the Original.

Elijah took the box from the Hybrid King of the Cresents.

He opened it and now could see a heart in there. A ring lay  beside it. Elijah knew whose ring it was and now looked at the King quietly yet with a dark stream in his eyes.

"It belonged to one of your brother's witches. Genevieve." - Jackson concluded.

"Yes" - Elijah said faintly.

'Hayley and I thought we bring this to you. Whoever has killed the witch wants to implicate us. We already have strained dealings with Klaus. He might suspect it was us. She was one of his most loyal one, Hayley says."

"Yes, she was. You did good. He was already going crazy because she is nowhere to be found. Don't worry. I'll take care of it." - Elijah said.

"Thank you." - Jackson said and gestured to the door, indicating he was leaving.  And before the door, he stopped and turned around -"I know he is your brother and you are very close, but I would be looking over my shoulder if I was you." 

Elijah shook his head a little at the King of Crescents not understanding why he would say something like that. Whether he like him or not, Jackson was one person who would always talk straight. 

With a little nod, Jackson left the apartment. Elijah turned to the window, now deep in his thoughts. Everything that had happened in the last few months since his brother called for his help to take the family seat back. He knew his brother had always been hungry for power, wanting it all. And ever since he became a hybrid, things were getting worse. The lust for power was the reason they had split up back in the 1950s, and Elijah went to live his life, abandoning the family for the first time in his life. 

He now took the box with the witch's heart and went out of the apartment. Getting in his Porsche, he now dialled the number of one of the witches, he once was very close to.

"Elijah"- Aya said as she now replied-"Long time"

"Yes. I need to see you. Where are you?"

"I am heading to a small town in Virginia."- the witch replied.

"Small town in Virginia? Could it by any chance be  Mystic Falls?"- Elijah said.

"Yes. How did you know?"

"A wild guess."- Elijah replied-"What is your business there?"

"A child"- Aya replied-"or rather his father."

"What child?"- Elijah was curious.

"Angel Bennett."- Aya said.

"Oh"- Elijah now slipped as he knew very well who Angel Bennett was-"what do you want with her?"

"She is a key for a spell."- Aya replied and continued-"By your voice I can tell that you know of her. Well, what is it that you Mikaelsons don't know, especially you."

"What spell?"- Elijah asked.

"Ah, you don't know everything after all."

"Say it."

"Lucien Castle has a pack of wolves turned into Beasts. And he is gathering them to attack your brother. When I got a call, I thought this is why you are calling me."

Elijah went quiet for a second and then said - "I will see you in a few hours."

"Right. See you there."- the witch said and hung up.

Elijah now scrolled down the contact list and dialled Elena's number.
