The Pact

"I'm starting to think your theory is correct. But we need to be careful and find a way to contact with this witch without anyone knowing." Kol whispered.

"We can't let people see us get in and find us looking around, which means we can only contact her using magic."

"You want to send her a letter?"

"No. I want to talk with her and see why she is helping Marcel kill every witch."

"You are going to do an Astral Projection spell, aren't you?" Kol whispered, knowing very well that was what she was going to do.

"I'll need violets for protection, myrrh for meditation, acacia for focus and a hanging spindle, the other ingredients I think you already bought. Tomorrow we I'll contact this witch."

"Are you planning on telling Klaus?"

"No. He would get all angry. Why? Are you gonna tell on me."

"Please... I take any chance I get to go against Klaus's rules." Kol smirked.

Elena went to Elijah's bedroom, seeing him with only a towel wrapped around his waist, making her quickly put her hand in front of her eyes to not look at him and turn around.

"I'm so sorry. I should have knocked." Elena said embarrassed.

"It's alright. Just give me a second to get... decent." Elijah said and with his vampire speed, he quickly put a t-shirt and some loose training pants. "You can look now. It's safe."

Elena turned around and peeked to see if Elijah was still naked, then she took her hand because noticed he was now wearing clothes.

"I'm really sorry. I should have knocked. I..."

"It's okay, Elena." Elijah whispered. "Is everything alright? Do you need my assistance with something?"

"I needed to talk with you." Elena said and Elijah made a gesture for her to seat in one of the two arm chairs he had in his bedroom, so she sat down and he sat in front of her, having a small coffee table between them.

"It sounds urgent."

"I was talking with Ric and I was telling him about you accepting to help me improve my fighting skills... but Klaus heard part of the conversation and seemed to get upset over this and... I don't want to get you in troubles nor that you and Klaus will get on a fight because of this favor so you don't need to help me fight."

"Niklaus was probably suspicious that this was a way for you to flee. Once he sees it's nothing even remotely similar to that, he will be indifferent to it. You should train. We never know what might happen in the future." Elijah whispered and Elena smiled.

"Thank you for doing this." She whispered with a smile and got up to hug him.

"You should spend the night in here. Because of those nightmares." Elijah whispered after breaking the hug.

"O-Okay..." Elena whispered and they lay down on the bed, under the covers.

"Try to have some rest. I will make sure nothing happens to you." Elijah whispered and Elena rest her head on his chest and let her hand very close to his, making them slowly intertwined their fingers and hold each other's hand.

Elena didn't know why but she felt very comfortable around Elijah while at the same time nervous and she enjoyed being around him and being close to him, making her smile just the fact that they were holding hands while cuddling.
