Only One •| Elijah Mikaelson |•

Chapter 15- Missing

~8~

Elijah didn't pay attention to anything as he quickly ended his call with the Gilbert boy and rushed out the front door, he didn't care if his siblings were following or not, all he cared about was reaching the brother of the woman he was quickly becoming infatuated with.

Never in all of his years on this earth, had the noble Mikaelson ever ran as fast as he did to reach the street with the house Roxanne should have been in, even the mighty hybrid was astonished at the speed his brother travelled at.

Time passed in a blur but it still felt too long before the Mikaelson clan saw a silhouette at the end of the street and quickly made their way over to it, already knowing exactly who it was. The manly figure was pacing nervously, mumbling under his breath with worry practically oozing from his essence.

"Jeremy?" the suited Original called out to the silhouette to gain his attention

The youngest Gilbert's pacing came to an abrupt halt as he snapped his head around to face the approaching family, worry and fear prominent on his face "Elijah? Oh thank God" Relief briefly flashed across his features before the darker emotions took over once again "She's gone, something happened to her I know it. She wouldn't just leave again, she would just leave me again; she promised... she promised" His voice trailed off to nothing more than a broken whisper, reminding the first family of vampires just how much of a young boy he truly was.

Elijah felt his harsh features soften at the sight of the brother to the woman he and his family were enraptured with break down in front of them. "We'll find her" He spoke on behalf of his family filled with determination and anger at whoever was responsible for Roxanne's disappearance

"...I can't lose her when I've only just got her back" Jeremy whispered, mostly to himself, trying to keep the tears at bay whilst wrestling with his own mind on what to do next

The hybrid took a step closer, his usual smirk absent from his lips as he spoke "Well, maybe you should pull yourself together and enlighten us on what happened" sure, the snark was still there but it was obvious how serious Klaus was taking the situation

The younger Gilbert shook his head, his eyes glazed over slightly as he thought back "I-I don't know, one minute I'm asleep... and the next I wake up but, but I knew something had happened. So I ran to Rox-Roxy's room...but she w-wasn't there." He took a deep shuddering breath before continuing "There was glass on the floor and her phone was on the side. Then Elena came in" The way he spat out the doppelgangers name caused more than one pair of eyebrows to go up "Next thing I know Damon and Stefan show up... they don't think anything bad happened to Roxy- they just think she's left town again but I know my sister... she never breaks her promises especially not to me but Elena doesn't agree with me, she sided with those two...that's when I left and called you"

When he looked up, Jeremy took in the various different expression each Mikaelson sibling displayed. Rebekah's showed sympathy whereas Finn's was disbelief, Klaus and Kol displayed various different levels of anger and Elijah's revealed absolutely nothing, it was blank, however the same could not be said about his eyes which held rage, pity, astonishment and so many more.

The young boy couldn't stop the flood of relief from filling his body, knowing that they believed him, that they were going to help him get his sister but that's when the tinkling feeling of guilt joined the flood. Once again Jeremy felt ashamed that not too long ago he was willing to help kill this family, all because Elena and the Salvatore's had convinced him that they needed to die, that they were evil and would kill the rest of his family and friends without hesitation... as it turns out the five people standing in front of Jeremy have proven to be more reliable and helpful than his own sister or friends.

"Well, let's go find our girl, shall we?" The youngest male, Kol, spoke up with a deadly grin that promised pain.

Roxanne woke up with a muffled groan and a thumping headache, her mind fuzzy and confused as to what had happened. Her eyes looked around but everything was too dark and too blurry making the brunette frustrated and cranky as she slowly arouses from her unconscious state.

"What the fuck?" She slurs to herself, still trying to grasp her bearings

"I see that you're finally awake" A female voice called out from the darkness

Roxanne's head snapped up in the direction of the voice as she tried to stand up and face whoever it was however, that's when the oldest Gilbert sibling discovered that she was unable to move her arms or legs, which were bound to the arms and legs of a wooden chair with thick rope and chains. She groaned and let her head roll backwards until she was looking up

"There's no point in trying to escape, you won't be able to" the voice called out again

"Yeah. The restraints were a big clue...thanks for the hint Sherlock"

Roxanne rolled her eyes and huffed in annoyance, any fear she might have felt before completely disappeared and was replaced by her usual sarcasm as well as irritation and anger.

"How about you stop hiding in the dark like coward and so me who exactly just made their way to the top of my hit list"

"Threatening someone whilst you're tied up is not smart"

"Oh sweetheart, I don't make threats...I make promises." She let out a harsh chuckle "And I promise you this... I'm gonna get out of these, and when I do I'm gonna rip your fucking head off!" Roxanne's words started off calm and low however, with every word her volume increased until she was virtually screaming the last words.

"I'm afraid you won't be leaving this room alive" The voice continued, clearly not affected by the Gilbert woman's threat

"Well, if that's the case... why not show me your face?" Roxanne challenged, already fed up of talking to the darkness

There was no response, only silence which seemed more deafening than before, until the sound of high heels click clacking against the hard, uneven ground cut through the quietness. Roxanne furrowed her brow and tensed up in both anticipation and caution; the worst part was that she still couldn't see properly and now she had this unknown threat coming closer to her defenceless form and it was more than a little unnerving. However, suddenly the footsteps stopped and in their place the warm glow of a candle lit up a small fraction of the area allowing Roxanne to glance around and notice that she was in, what seemed like a cave causing the brunette to curse under her breath before she turned back to her abductor.

Roxanne's eyes widened in realisation, shock and disbelief. Mentally she was smacking herself for not figuring who it was earlier.

she groaned, frowning with a scoff and a hint of mocking laugher "Are you kidding me!?"

"Hello, Roxanne"

I got so excited after writing the last chapter that I had to write another...it's mostly just a filler...but guys I had such a brilliant idea on how I want to end this story and that's making me want to hurry up and write more and more chapters! I honestly have big plans for Roxy, not just for the future but also for the next few chapter's- let's just say she's not going to have a nice stay in the cave. But I really, really want to tell you want I plan to do but it's too soon and it's so bloody frustrating! Damn you chapter's that don't exist yet! :D

Oh Thank you to everyone who wished me luck on my poem...It was complete shit but I couldn't stop laughing- hell even now whenever someone mentions it I burst out laughing, it was that bad. :'D

What do you think anyway? So it's a female who's taken our beloved Roxy...I felt so sorry for Jeremy in this chapter and Elena- God what a cow...

Don't forget to drop me a review if you want. Until next time :)
