Equilibrium [On Hold]

Chapter Ten

✨The Survivor✨

"Do you dare to look him right in the eyes?"

Amara sat in the newly renovated ancestors house, Adrian at her side as they both practice spells. It took the Ancestors time to warm up to the Mikaelson but thankfully for Amara, they eventually did. Adrian's eyes were shut as he murmured in Latin, sparks of electricity running up and down his body.

"Amara, I fear my descendant is falling father in the doppelganger's clutches." Emily appeared in a faint translucent state, her voice full of worry. "Can you perhaps help my descendant."

Adrian opened one eye, his gaze assessing the dead witch. Amara sighed, biting her lip as she thought.

"It's difficult Emily, if Bonnie finds out then I'm sure Elena will. And I'm not ready for that to happen yet. Even though what is to come is a delicate situation that requires a large amount of finesse, perhaps I can find a way. I will ask something of you Emily, as well as the ancestors in return." A small smirk flashed across Adrian's face as he closed his eyes again, knowing Amara could handle this just fine. Emily looked at Amara with a hopeful look, nodding softly for the Elemental to continue. "Esther Mikaelson, you cut her off from her magic."

"It shall be done."

"Excellent."

********************

Amara walked through the hospital, her hand tightly clutching Adrian's as she ignored the dark glare coming from Elena. Stefan stood at the doppelganger's side, his eyes softening as he looked upon the Elemental. Damon just watched with curiosity, not knowing much about the small brunette. The vampire's eyes stopped on Adrian, the eldest Salvatore having to bite back a snarl.

"Is she awake?" Amara's voice was soft, an insult rising in Elena's throat.

"Yes, not that it's-"

"Elena." Stefan's cold tone sharply cut through Elena's, his eyes narrowing as he looked at her. Adrian smirked, mentally praising the ripper. "Cut it out."

Stefan's tone and gaze softened as he turned to Amara, Damon's eyebrow raising in surprise at the complete change in his brother.

"She's awake and waiting for you 'Mara."

The Elemental and her bonded walk into Caroline's hospital room, laughing quietly at the outraged squawks coming from Elena. They close the door behind them, a warm smile coming over both Adrian and Amara when they see a beaming Caroline.

"Finally!! I'm so glad you're both here." Caroline kisses Amara gently, the blonde starting to glow from her happiness. Adrian stands to the side, a small frown on his face. Amara settles on the side of Caroline's bed, cuddling the blonde with a look of content. "Adrian why are you frowning at me?"
