I never told you (Elijah Mikaelson fanfic)

Chapter 26

"Elijah isn't answering" Stefan lowered his phone back into his pocket AT&T several attempts

"Do you think he found her?" Elena asked concerned. She barely knew Anastasia; but she could see what family meant to both brothers

"Oh yeah" Anastasia smiled "he definitely found me, it's too bad that he's probably just waking up in the alley way that I left him in"

"You staked him?" Damon interrupted, still surprised that she had come back "how? He's stronger than you"

"Let's just say I have a thing for getting under people's skin" she winked "what's he doing back anyway?" She asked curiously

"Why should we answer that?" Damon retaliated

"Because Damon, I'm family" she smiled at him

"You're not Anastasia, you're just a shell" he spat

"Shame" she pressed her lips together and disappeared. She reappeared on the other end of the room with Elena held tightly in her grasp "it would be awful if Elena was to die over a question" she tutted

"He's back in town with Klaus" Stefan intervened "now let her go"

Anastasia threw Elena out of her grasp and into Stefan "whoops wrong person" she smiled, dragging Elena back by the hair and pushing her into Damon "she's yours now isn't she? Actually, I'm not too sure" Anastasia winked

"Why are you here?" Damon hissed, Elena looked petrified

"I need something" she began "a Salvatore family heir loom, it's a stone; nothing much about yay big, purple"

"Yeah I know it" Stefan said "it was our fathers; think he gave it away" he smiled sarcastically

"Who did he give it to?" She stood up and crept closer to him, her expression turned serious

"Hm let me think, nope I can't remember" he crossed his arms

"Listen here, I need this stone and I think it may be of use to you all as well" she stopped talking swiftly when she realised what she had said

"Why do we need it?" Damon spoke up

"It doesn't matter" she quietened down and stopped acting

"No no no, I think I could remember who he have it to; that's if my memory was jogged, what exactly does it to?" Stefan spoke sarcastically

Anastasia huffed "fine; if I get the stone, my witch can stop the venom from a wolves bite being poisonous"

"You do know Klaus' blood can cure a bite?" Damon asked

"Of course I know; it's text book, but I'm not going to grovel to Klaus, when I've 'betrayed him' he will probably kill me; plus, I've ruffled a lot of feathers in the werewolf sector and I'm not too keen on seeing Klaus anyway" she explained

"That's fair enough" Damon turned to Stefan "tell her"

"Okay, he gave it to the Lockwoods" Stefan said

"The werewolves?!" Anastasia exclaimed "oh yeah, now they're going to give a stone that de-arms their venom to a vampire, that's just great" she spat and rolled her eyes

"Well I'm sure they don't know you're a vampire, why don't you try asking? they life just up the road" Damon winked

"I don't even know them; they're not going to give something to a stranger" Anastasia scrunched her face up; as if it was obvious

"They know me; I could accompany you" he voice made Anastasia roll her eyes

"Any other takers, Stefan? Damon? Elena?" She asked, in hope of someone volunteering

"I guess you're stuck with Elijah" Damon winked and gulped his drink. She sighed and turned around

"Okay, fine let's go" she walked past Elijah without a glance and walked to the car.

After a minute or so, she returned to the house "I actually would think to get dressed into something a bit more innocent, I assume my clothes are still in their usual place?" Stefan nodded and she walked upstairs.

"Thank you for inviting me into your home Carol" she smiled sweetly "it's lovely"

Elijah actually thought he could see the true Anastasia through her facade. She was dressed in a floral dress and her hair was half up half down.

"It's alright Anastasia; anything for a good friend of Elijah" Carol smiled "you mentioned you were looking for something?"

"Oh yes" she smiled "more like something to borrow really; it's a small purple stone? It was a gift from the Salvatore's to the Lockwood's in the 1800's, I work at a museum in West Virginia and they would love to see it" she lied

"And you're a Salvatore yourself? So it's kind of a piece of family history for us isn't it?" Carol laughed. Anastasia laughed along, wanting to get the stone and get out; she couldn't bare this goody two shoes act

"Do you have it?" Anastasia went back to the main subject, growing tired of being this fake

"I don't have it with me; our cousin on the outskirts of Virginia has it; I'll call him and get the address" she smiled, turning around and leaving the room.

"Gosh she is so much hard work" Anastasia groaned

"Yes, I know the feeling" Elijah looked deadly serious at her

"If this is about the staking, you were just collateral" she rolled her eyes "it's not like I have been in your life, a sacrifice, someone you can just leave without a word?" Her words hit Elijah hard and he grew silent.

"I've written down the address, and James will be expecting your arrival" Carol came back into the room

"Thank you so much, you have been such a great help" Anastasia smiled and took the piece of paper out of her hands . She turned to Elijah "we should get going, the museum wants it by Thursday"

"Okay, well thank you Carol" Elijah nodded and left the house with Anastasia walking behind.

"Thank you Elijah, now it's time to part ways" she nodded getting into the car

"Oh no, I'm coming" Elijah corrected her

"What? No you're not this does not concern you" Anastasia argued

"Yes, but it concerns someone I care for deeply. They're wolves Anastasia, if they get a smell of what you're doing or who you are, they won't hesitate to kill you " he explained

"I don't care, I can handle myself" she looked at Elijah who stared at her

"You will allow me to accompany you and you won't have a problem with it" he compelled

"I won't have a problem with it" she repeated "okay; I'll go pick some stuff up and you go do the same; and then ill drive over to you and we can get on our way" she set out the plan

"Okay, see you then" Elijah smiled

Elijah had changed from one suit to another and had just tied his tie. He was adjusting it to make it look, how he would say 'presentable'.

He was interrupted by deafening music, coming from outside the house. He raised his eyebrows in confusion; nobody really came around this area; mainly because it was where Klaus had killed.

Elijah grabbed his things and walked downstairs to the door where he saw Anastasia's light blue convertible.

"Oi, Mikaelson, road trip now!" She shouted over the music. She was wearing dark sunglasses with leather jeans and a vest top.

Elijah walked outside and placed his things in the trunk of the car. He hen walked around to the drivers door, where he pushed Anastasia out of the way.

"Hey what are you doing?" She asked offensively

"I'm driving" he smiled

"Why?" She asked stubbornly

"Well I doubt you're in the right mind to drive if you've picked this type of music" Elijah joked. Anastasia couldn't help but smile to herself as she walked around the car and got in the passenger side.
