Grace - Elijah Mikaelson -

Chapter 80

Elijah pushed her immediately behind his back and stared into the darkness ahead of them. It must be Tyler Lockwood, he must've triggered his curse again. 

"Go. I'll take care of this." 

He said firmly. His voice was still so calm, so confident, but still Grace didn't want to leave him alone here. 

She hesitated. Of course she knew that Elijah could easily take out a wolf, but after shifting they were quite nasty. The bite wouldn't kill him, but since Nik bit her she had gotten a glimpse of how horrible it was. None of them would want to give his brother the satisfaction of calling him here to cure one of them. 

"Please." 

Elijah looked over his shoulder, his gaze meeting hers shortly. He just wanted her safe, that's the only thing he asked for. Sighing, Grace gave in and disappeared. 

Her head was filled with worry for both Elijah and Elena when she arrived at the hospital. She stormed through the wards, ignoring nurses calling after her for simply marching in here like she owned the place. 

She found Damon after a short while, fortunately she still knew most of the hospital. He looked pained, exhausted but overall filled with a kind of worry that Grace very well knew. 

"How's she?" 

Grace sat on the other side of the bed after closing the door behind her. Damon barely look up, he just squeezed Elena's hand. It was then when she realized that Damon Salvatore was really capable of love. She hadn't really witnessed how they fell in love, but she had seen how Stefan looked at her and now how Damon looked at Elena. It was a whole different story. For him, the whole world rotated around nothing but Elena Gilbert. He would break without her. That was why he wanted to take the cure. Grace would do the same for Elijah, if they were in this position. 

"The doctors keep telling me that there's nothing wrong with her physically...but she still isn't waking up." 

Tears flooded Damon's eyes and also Grace had to fight hard to stay strong. It couldn't be. She just got to some degree of peace with her sister and now she was taken away from her again. 

"It must be magic. This Kai person...it must've been him...who's a corpse by now." 

"Not exactly." 

Damon sighed and held out his phone, so she could have a look on it. Matt had informed him that Kai was a vampire and Tyler and wolf form now. 

Grace's eyes widened and her hands clenched into fists. Elijah was still out there. With this lunatic running free, fear for her love crept up her spine. If she understood it right, he was a vampire that could use magic now. Thankfully, Elijah was very capable of taking care of himself.

All of a sudden, something slammed against the window facing the patient room and the two vampires jumped to their feet startled. Kai leaned against the window, looking pale and smeared with blood. A werewolf bite thrived on his neck and Grace had to bit her lip to keep herself from smiling cruelly. 

"What's going on with me?" 

"Encounter with something furry, four paws?" 

Damon hissed and they both stepped through the door and into the hallway, staring the heretic down. 

"How do I get rid of it?" 

Kai's gaze flickered back and forth between them. The bite already affected him, which was very satisfying to see. 

"Ask her." 

The older Salvatore growled and now Kai looked at Grace confused. She stepped forward, raising her chin.
