Chapter 7

"Remember." Adelaide breathed. She saw the memories flash in front of her and she stepped back, closer to Elijah.

Suddenly, Rebekah's eyes snapped to her and in an instant she stood in front of Adelaide, until Elijah stepped in between the two.

Adelaide had never been more grateful for Elijah because she was quite sure that Rebekah would have done something to her if he hadn't had stepped in. Rebekah couldn't kill her as she was just as her brother, Immortal.

"Brother, before you do anything... Listen. Hear her out." Elijah said.

Niklaus looked at him before he pushed him out of the way and stood in front of Adelaide. He looked at her as if he was inspecting her before he took her in his arms.

Was Rebekah hugging her?

"Addy." She breathed out in her hair.

She looked at Elijah and saw that there was possession in his eyes, it was very clear. She was hugging a girl, why was he so upset?

Rebekah pulled back and looked at her with a smile.

"No, it can't be. You... how can you be a Witch and a Vampire? It's impossible."

"No, it isn't." Elijah said. "There are tales of her, you know them."

"They all say that you mean the end to all Supernatural, if I'm not mistaken." Rebekah said with a smirk. "But that would mean your own end, so Adelaide, what is it that you need to tell us?"

"The champagne you drank last night? There was a binding spell on it. You all drank it and I can't imagine Esther linking anyone else but you. It was a powerful spell but there is a reversal spell as well."

"What makes this one so different from the others? I mean, all of our mother's spells are powerful. Why is this one different?" Rebekah asked.

"Elena's blood is a key-part of the spell. Doppelganger's blood." Adelaide explained.

"So, that bitch helped our mother with a spell that would most likely kill us all? All that talk about forgiveness... It's all rubbish? She doesn't mean it?" Rebekah asked with tears in her eyes.

Adelaide looked at her. "I am sorry." "That's quite okay, it isn't you that's doing this. So, what is the plan?"

"I first want to see if the spell actually worked but for that I need your blood. The three of yours need to give me a bit of your blood and I see if it actually worked."

Rebekah flashed away and Adelaide was afraid she wasn't going to let her do it but she returned with a knife and a glass. She took his hand and put it over the glass and cut her hand making blood drop into the glass.

Elijah looked at his sister in surprise. They wondered why Rebekah did it without question. She never did that, she always looked for ulterior moves.

"I'll go." Elijah took the knife and cut himself.

Adelaide lit the candles that were in the room with a flick of her wrist before she held her hands out in front of her, making sure the glass was in between the two hands and started chanting.

Rebekah looked in wonder at Adelaide's face while Elijah looked in pure adoration. That witch/vampire was his and he loved every second he spent with her.

Adelaide looked up at the siblings and smiled sadly at them. "It worked. What happens to one of you, happens to all of you."

Rebekah was the first to ask. "So, what do we do now?"

...

Elijah and Adelaide stood in front of Elena's door. She opened it and there was surprise written all over her face.

"Elijah... Adelaide." She said.

Adelaide and Elijah forced a smile. "Elena." They both said.

" I don't mean to intrude. I was hoping you might accompany me. Us." Elijah asked.

"We want to show you something." Adelaide added.

They got into the car when Elena had her coat and left into the woods near the tunnels underneath the area. They pulled up not too far from it and got out.

"Forgot how much I missed this land." Elijah said.

Adelaide silently agreed with her, she missed it as well which is why she always came back here.

"I can't even imagine what it must have been like a thousand years ago." Elena said.

Beautiful. Adelaide thought. It was home.

"You know, your school was built over an Indian village. Where I saw my first werewolf. The town square was where the natives would gather to worship. Matter of fact, near that, there was a field where wild horses use to graze."

Adelaide remembered that, she would often go there with Elijah. Just to watch the horses graze, and see them run around in their group. It was always beautiful to watch.

"That's incredible." Elena said.

It was.

"Come." Elijah ordered.

He led them to rocks on top of the tunnels. Adelaide had heard that Elijah used to play down there and whenever he was gone and didn't know where he was, she was always worried that something would happen. It wouldn't be the first time that he would 'disappear' and she'd cast a spell to look where he is and she'd find out he's right underneath her.

"Do you know this place too?" Elena asked.

" I do. Below us is a cavern I use to play in as a boy. Connects to a system of tunnels that stretch across the entire area. Perhaps it's nature's way of providing us with shelter against the savagery of the full moon. My mother said there must be a balance." Elijah told Elena.

Elena started to walk back. "Elijah, I should probably go home."

"I admire you, Elena." Elijah said, ignoring her comment about going home. "You remind me of qualities I valued long before my mother turned us. It's not in your nature to be deceitful and yet when I asked about your meeting with my mother the other night, you lied to my face."

"That's not true. I told you that all your mother wanted was a new start." Elena said but her heart sped up, indicating that she was lying again.

"I can hear your heartbeat. It jumps when you're being dishonest with me. You lied to me at the ball; you are lying to me now. Tell me the truth." Elijah ordered.

"I never wanted this to happen." Elena said with a pained expression.

Adelaide frowned. She spoke up as she hadn't talked. "What, Elena?"

"We were told that whatever was going to be in that coffin was going to kill Klaus. When we found out that it was your mother... We didn't know what to think." Elena explained.

Adelaide still frowned but Elijah was the one that spoke. "Since her return she says she only wants this family whole again."

"When she asked to see me, I...I thought that maybe she could help. That she would find a way to kill Klaus. It's not just Klaus that she wants to kill." Elena told the couple.

"She wants to kill us all, doesn't she?" Elijah asked.

"She wants to undo the evil she created." Adelaide supplied.

Elena slowly shook her head. "I'm so sorry, Elijah. I wish there was something I could do to help."

"You know, one thing I've learned on my time on this Earth...be careful what you wish for."

Elijah breaks a hole into the Earth, grabs Elena, and jumps down the hole with her all the while Adelaide looks at it.

Elijah came back up and gave Adelaide a kiss on her temple as he waited for Rebekah.

The plan was to give the Salvatore brothers an ultimatum. Make sure that the witches that Esther needs, are not of value anymore. If not, Rebekah- who had just arrived- would kill her and they would lose their precious doppelganger.

When Elijah had explained everything to Rebekah, she still didn't want to believe it.

"No, mother wouldn't do that. Not to us. She loves us." Rebekah said.

Adelaide looked at her. "Beks."

"No, mother wouldn't do that to me. She loves me."

Adelaide looked at her with sorrow in her eyes when Rebekah was close to tears and stepped to Elijah. She kissed his lips and told him to go.

"I'll take care of Elena, along with Rebekah. Don't worry."

Elijah nodded, pecked her lips and nodded. He stepped in his car and left.
