Broken like me

Bed of thorns

As soon as she left the stage and went backstage. She saw a bouquet of roses on her dressing table. There was a card attached to it. It said:

"For the chance to be with you, I'd gladly risk it all. I was truly enchanted to meet you. Always and forever- Elijah Mikaelson"

She blushed while reading the note. In several centuries, she had found someone like this. He was powerful. He was different and just perfection.

As soon as she went outside and ordered her usual dinner. She saw Elijah approaching.

"That was phenomenal." He said. He took her hand and gently kissed it. Jyosette couldn't help but blush at this gesture.

"Thank you." She said politely.

She goes outside and her gaze immediately rests on Diego. Her ex-boyfriend. He makes his way to her which was a surprise.

"So, I am not surprised that you are still writing songs about me. You are obsessed. You seriously need to move on, Jyo." He said with a proud smirk. Jyosette frowns at this statement while chuckling at his pride and foolishness.

"Wow, you're even dumber than you look." She said with a straight annoyed face which made it quite humorous. She wasn't surprised hearing Elijah's chuckle from behind. Diego was offended but he moved away seeing an original. That night was everything. Elijah dropped her home. It's been two weeks. She wondered why Elijah hasn't called her. She wasn't too surprised as there was some obvious drama going on between them and the city. She hears a knock on the door. She opens up to see Elijah. They greeted each other.

Jyosette's POV :

Elijah comes up to me and says, "Hey I think I might need your help."

"Sure, whatever you need." She said which was not surprising to him.

"Well Francesca has the quarter surrounded by her werewolves and my brother and Hayley haven't stepped out of the house in months. I keep getting the feeling that something is about to happen and I was hoping ,maybe you could come over and stay with us for a couple of days. We could use you."

"Okay... wait a minute please." She said. She closed her eyes and suddenly the winds started blowing. Her brown hair was flying in the air. She opened her eyes and turned to Elijah with a worried gaze.

Third-person POV:

"I feel someone's presence, someone very very powerful but I haven't felt before."She said.

"I will go with you," Jyosette says and takes the necessary belongings.

She could see that the Mikaelsons were not in good mood. She avoided Klaus. Elijah showed her the room in which she'll be staying.

"Thank you for doing this." He says in a low voice. She could see the exhaustion and sadness on his face.

She embraced him gently in her arms stroked his hair from the back and whispered, "It's gonna be okay."

He hugged her back.

After a few weeks, she saw Klaus in a room full of paintings. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He also avoided Cami when she visited. Hayley was devastated too. The Guerrera pack was ruthless. The witches were helping the wolves with moonlight rings and Klaus had a little meeting with Marcel to take down the Guerrera pack but Elijah told her that they had the white oak stake. Jyosette has been quite helpful to them and she has managed to talk to Hayley and Klaus. She had a friendly relationship with Klaus now. Jyosette was worried about Klaus and Elijah especially tonight because it was a full moon. She went with Klaus to Marcel and met a peculiar but very brave and impressive fellow named Joe. He was a warrior. He refused to run from Guerrera pack and he was ready to die with dignity. She admired that. Even Klaus admired that fellow.

Jyosette's POV:

Klaus and I were relieved that the werewolves didn't have the white oak stake. Klaus planned to attack the wolves tonight. Elijah was resistant at first but he accepted that plan. Hayley was hell-bent on killing Francesca. I couldn't blame her. If I were in her position, I would've done the same. We still did not know where the stake was. With the help of Cami, we were able to mislead werewolves from finding the stake. Elijah and I made sure that Francesca's house was no longer hers. We handled the legal paperwork. So, he could enter her home. I encountered three werewolves with Marcel while he handled the rest. Marcel yelled at me to go follow Elijah as I was needed at the main attack. I was the most powerful after all but only Marcel and the Mikaelsons knew about my secret. Klaus was regaining his strength slowly as we killed more and more werewolves and removed the rings. Elijah and I went to Francesca's house. Francesca and her minions were startled when they saw a head rolling through the front door. Elijah had a mischievous grin on his face which Francesca returned. I was standing beside Elijah at the door with my arms crossed.

"Don't worry, they can't come in."

"Can't I?"

"Don't bluff me. You can't win."

"You mobsters all suffer from such hubris." after that, he says something about some old greek tale which I tune out. "I was so pleased the city took my suggestion to protect its heritage status and invoke eminent domain. So, I suppose that means this house belongs to the public, and my friend and I can enter..............without invitation." He says gesturing me to go in. Elijah and I step into the house together and the werewolves were too stunned to speak. I enjoy this. Elijah looks so cool and sexy with his calm threats to people. I loved that attitude. Elijah with his vampire strength took half of the werewolves while the hearts of some were falling on the floor after magically ripping themselves out with the help of my powers. I was about to kill that bitch Francesca while Elijah told me to leave her for Hayley. After that, we came home.

Hayley was acting out. Elijah was calming her down. I stepped in and gestured for him to wait outside. He left. Hayley was crying. I took Hayley in her arms.

"Everything's changed," Hayley said in a breaking voice.

" I know but it's gonna be okay Hayley, I promise. Hope is safe with Rebekah and Hayley what you're experiencing, believe me, I can understand. I went through the same thing."

Hayley looked up to know more and Elijah who was eavesdropping was also a little surprised.

"When my Zinnian powers triggered, I was not myself. I completely lost control. I killed everyone. I thought that killing my father will make me feel better. But it didn't. I slaughtered villages. I looked in the mirror and I couldn't even remember what I looked like without blood on my body. I couldn't even remember who I was. I was a ruthless monster. Then one day, it all came back to me and it wasn't easy but things got better. I had no reason to live. But you do. You have a family. You have Hope." I said which made Hayley comfortable. I kissed her hair and went outside. I didn't see Elijah as I was going to my room. I sat on the bed and I couldn't help remembering that time. It made me hate myself. A single tear slid down my cheek and I heard a knock on the door. It was Elijah. I quickly wiped it and smiled.

"Hey, come on in," I said to the man I fancy.

He sat on the end of the bed. He gave me a faint smile and held my hand.

"Thank you for doing this. I don't know how I will ever repay you." He spoke honestly.

" Bullshit. You don't need to." I frowned but I meant it too.

"Elijah, can you do me a favor? I need some things from my apartment. If you wouldn't mind driving me." I said.

"Sure." He said.
