Third POV
"All this talk has made me thirsty." Klaus spoke, pausing before speaking again "What do you say Stefan? Can I interest you in a little after-dinner drink?" Neither spoke till Elizabeth had enough of the silence and said "Well if you're going to have a pissing contest I want the brunette in the corner. Elizabeth got up and walked swiftly to the women in the corner, she whispered in the brunette's ear, so quietly the only one who heard her was the female she had been speaking to, before kissing up and down her neck before biting down. The only sounds in the room were moans coming from the brunette.
Elijah and Damon chose that moment to re-enter. Klaus and Stefan had been bickering but Elizabeth had been too busy with her meal to listen.
"What do you say, Klaus? It's time for you to put something on the table. We've made our offer, now you counter." "Okay. I offer Elena's future happiness. You see, what she needs right now is to get rid of you lot. And to fall in love with a human, maybe that nice football player, you know the blond one." Elizabeth leaned over to Elijah and whispered "all this for a human, she isn't even that pretty, and not to mention she is playing them." Elijah looked at her and nodded in agreement. Both parties turned back into the conversation at hand. "Matt Donovan? Really?" "Yeah, why not? They'll marry, live a long and fruitful life, and pop out a perfect family." "And continue the Petrova bloodline. Every few hundred years, you'll have a new doppelgänger to drain and never run out of hybrids, right Klaus?" "Consider it a small return on my investment in her well-being. See, after you hand me back the coffin, I'll ensure her safety for the rest of her natural life. You know it's what's best for her." Klaus got up and walked towards Stefan. "So, what do you say Stefan, hmm? Do we have a deal?" Stefan walked over to Klaus, looking as if he was going to take the deal. Then Damon spoke, "What are you doing?" Klaus held his hand out to Stefan. Stefan grabbed his hand "Nice try, Klaus. But no deal." Klaus broke Stefan's arm, he kicked his leg and broke it as well. He pushed Stefan's hand into the fireplace, and started to burn it. Damon attempted to rush over to them, but Elijah intercepted him and pushed him against a wall.
Elizabeth, tired of all the arguing, walked up behind Klaus, who was too caught up in the moment to notice, and grabbed his shoulders to turn him around. When he turned around she wrapped her hands around his neck and snapped it quickly. She turned towards the three others in the room and said "I had to leave my job that protects people to listen to you bicker over a whiny brat, which was not what I signed up for. So get the hell on with whatever half cocked plan you have before I go kill the dopplebitch myself."
Elizabeth POV
Damon and Elijah disappeared down stairs and Stefan was sitting at the dining table with his head in his hands. The defeated look on his face broke my heart. I walked up to him and squatted in front of his chair. I put my hand on his face and made him look at me. He was almost in tears, so I whispered "what's wrong fratello, talk to me" "I'm fighting for her, I have been and she thinks all I'm doing is trying to push her away, I've been protecting everyone. And she only wants the 'good' me, like she doesn't accept all of me. I don't know what to do Eliza. I don't know what I'm fighting for anymore." ''You're a grown man Stefan, a damn vampire over a hundred years old, you are handsome, polite, and a badass. Do not, and I mean do not let a petty human that thinks the world revolves around her decide what you think about yourself, be you and don't change for anyone." I said kissing his head when 5 sets of footsteps walked into the room and, someone started laughing, and said "damn about time someone snapped his neck." As if he heard his name he sat up and looked around seeing his family standing in front of him with hard flinty glares and daggers in their hands. Elizabeth finally looked at the group and her eyes settled on the blonde. She coughed loudly bringing the attention to her which caused the blonde's eyes to light up and speed to her and wrap her arms in a tight hug. Elizabeth just laughed and said "Hello little bear" which caused Rebekah to reply "Hello red" they just laughed and hugged till a cough brought her out of the hug and to the younger version of Elijah pouting which resulted in Elizabeth opening her other arm and said "Hello to my favorite terror." He sped over and hugged her too and said "Hello horror."
