Chapter 007
All The Future Holds for Me
:::::
Elijah’s PoV
:::::
It’s been three days since Niklaus Magickally reentered his body. He and I both, unlike the others, seem to be able to recall that we were in the Mirror and what happened to the Mirror while we were in it. I’ve decided that is because we’re Originals and the others are not. Therefore, Niklaus remembers that Damon, Elena, Stefan and a Witch they called Lucy did a spell to return him to his body and Kol to the mirror.
I watch as Damon drives away from the Boarding House without Elena, so I walk to the door and turn the handle which they still don’t seem to lock.
Entering the house, I follow my ears and my nose down to the basement cell where I find the lovely Elena locked inside the cell.
She doesn’t appear to know I’m here so I say her name and as soon as her eyes connect with mine I compel her, “Where did you and Damon put the mirror with Kol inside it?”
She frowns and says, “We buried the pieces in the dump.”
Smiling I ask, “Is it in a container, and if so what sort of container is it in?”
She frowns deeper and says, “It’s in a garbage bag inside a Fed-Ex box.”
Nodding I tell her, “Good, now do you remember anything remarkable about the section of the dump you buried it in?”
She shakes her head, “No, we went in the south entrance and walked up the hill before digging and burying it.”
I frown, that’s not going to be much help, but it’s better than my having to search the landfill in its entirety.
Next I ask, “What do you know about the Witch who trapped Kol inside the Mirror?”
She frowns and is obviously trying to fight the compulsion, but I’m too strong for her, so she soon tells me, “Her name is Lucy Bennett. She’s Bonnie’s cousin, and she lives in Baton Rouge.”
Excellent that information should make finding her so much easier, but on the off chance I can get Elena to do all of my work for me I smile widely and ask, “Do you know her address?”
She shakes her head but says, “No, but it’s in Bonnie’s phone which is upstairs on the bedside table in Damon’s room.”
Well that’s convenient so I tell her, “Very good, thank you Elena. You won’t remember that I was here or any of our conversation. So far as you know Niklaus and I have no idea what happened to Kol or how he was removed from Niklaus’ body.”
She repeats the compulsion and by the time she says the last word I’ve already added Ms. Bennett’s contact information into my phone and am closing the front door and speeding away through the woods to where I parked my car on the other side of the forest behind the Salvatore’s house.
Once I’m in my car I turn it around and head towards the landfill. When I arrive, I go in the south entrance and compel the man guarding the gate to let me in and ignore my presence while I am here.
After I park the car, I get out and take off my suit jacket. Rolling up the sleeves of my dress shirt I take off my tie before placing the jacket and tie inside the car then I walk towards the mound of garbage and climb to the top.
Using Vampire speed, I dig for about an hour before I notice the top of a box sticking out of the pile with Jeremy Gilbert’s name and address on the box.
Opening the box, I look inside and see a garbage bag so I open it as well and begin looking at each shard trying to find the one with my little brother inside it being sure not to touch my skin to any of the glass. Finally, I find him and tell him, “Oh thank the Goddess. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to find you here. Nod if you can hear and understand me.”
He nods so I tell him, “Matt Donovan, Tyler Lockwood, and Stefan Salvatore are all finally dead. Niklaus believes you are gone once and for all and honestly seems quite happy about that. If I were you I would take control of me and head for the house and surprise Niklaus and take control of him again before he has any idea anything is amiss, or he will try to destroy you once and for all if he finds out I have freed you. Also if I were you I would take the entire box of Mirror shards and hide it somewhere only you know about. According to what Niklaus told me the spell their Witch did has made this mirror the only thing other than a dead body or your natural body that can be used to trap your spirit. I would also find out where the Salvatore Brothers buried you and move your body somewhere no one else knows about. Keep the mirror and your body safe and no one will be able to stop you again.”
He nods so I nod back and as I place my finger on the glass I tell him, “Then feel free to jump into my body whenever you’re ready.”
Those are the last words he says as I take over his body and then look down to the Mirror shard to see him smiling up at me. Well I’ll be damned, Elijah apparently really meant it when he said his loyalty is mine now. I mean I know he’s only ever broken his word that one time to save the rest of the family but I was certain he would wash himself of my dilemma and forget all about me, but instead he appears to have tracked me down and saved me.
He’s right about what I need to do too. I need to sneak up on Klaus before he knows anything is different than how he wants it, so I put the shard back into the box and close the box before I stand there contemplating my next move. On the one hand burying the box right back where it was would make its discovery harder to happen, especially the more time that passes as more and more garbage will be piled on top of it. However, that also means someday someone could dig it up either on purpose or by accident so I’ll take Elijah’s advice and take the box with me and hide it where no one else will be able to access it.
Decision made I walk down the mound of trash with the box in hand and when I get to the car I place the box inside on the front passenger side seat and climb into the car.
I say loud enough for Elijah to hear me, “Thank you brother for having had the foresight to teach me how to drive,” then I leave the dump and head back to the house.
I sense that Nik is in the back of the house, likely painting, so I grab the box and Elijah’s jacket and tie and quietly walk into the house as if everything is normal.
I walk up the stairs, and I sneak into Elijah’s room and after emptying his pockets onto the bedside table I strip before tossing his shirt and pants into the trash since they’re covered in garbage residue. Walking into the bathroom to wash the stench of a whole town’s garbage off of me with the box in my hands I place it on the counter in clear view of the shower so I can keep an eye on it.
I smile as I look in the mirror. My brothers are both well-endowed like me so it seems none of the Mikaelson’s are a disgrace to all men everywhere unlike poor Stefan Salvatore who according to Elijah is now finally dead. I wish I could have watched Damon kill his brother. Oh well I’ll just have to live with the knowledge that he killed his own brother and the woman he loves is being haunted by those she loves until the Hunter’s Curse is broken. If I’m lucky I will be able to finagle a front row seat to watch Elena kill herself once the Curse is broken. I’m going to allow Damon to live so that he will have to suffer for all of eternity with the knowledge that everyone he loves is dead because of his inadequacies.
That decision made I walk into the shower and turn on the water as hot as I can make it. As I shower I consider my other problem. There is a Witch who not only knows I’m supposedly trapped inside that Mirror but she knows how to return me to it. Plus, I want to pay her back for being kind enough to help Damon and Elena in the first place, so first order of business once I take over Nik is to track down that Lucy Witch.
As the last of the suds slide down my body and I can no longer smell the stench of garbage I step out of the shower and dry off. Dressing quickly in my older brother’s standard dress shirt, tie, dress slacks, and jacket I grab the box and leave his room walking down the hall to my old room before entering and closing the door. Then opening the walk-in closet and walking to the back of it, I lift and move the dresser to the side to avoid scratch marks telling anyone the dresser has been moved.
Then I lean down and pop up the floor boards where I hid the Daggers and White Oak Ash I stole from Nik. I also added the White Oak Stake to the stash after I stole it back from Jeremy’s room before Elijah and I left the Boarding House the other day, so now I add the box with my mirror and severed finger in it, and then I pop the floor boards back in place and lift the dresser putting it back in place. Since the box is closed not even Elijah will know where I’ve hidden it when he returns to his body so I leave the walk-in closet confident that no one will ever find my stash of all the items that can harm me and mine.
I leave my room and walk down the stairs toward where I can hear Nik painting.
As I enter the room he’s facing away from me, but he says, “Elijah, where have you—”
That’s all he gets out as I rush him and place my hand on his bare neck before switching bodies.
Elijah stumbles for a moment so I turn and reach out my hand to help steady him. He smiles and asks me, “How long was I in the mirror?”
I smile back and tell him, “About an hour.”
He nods and moves to sit in a chair facing me before he says, “I assume your first order of business is tracking down the Witch who helped trap you and removing her from the equation.”
I nod and ask, “Yes, I know from when they trapped me in the Mirror that her name is Lucy, but what else do we know about her?”
He smiles and pats his pockets before asking, “Where is my phone?”
It was one of the items I took out of his pockets and left on the bedside table before throwing out his clothes, so I tell him, “Upstairs in your room.”
He speeds out of the room and then returns almost as fast. Holding up his phone he tells me, “Her last name is Bennett. She’s Bonnie Bennett’s cousin. I thought ahead and just happen to have Ms. Bennett’s phone number and address. I thought it might prove useful to you.”
Smiling widely, I nod and tell him, “I always knew you were very instrumental in keeping Nik on track and gathering information for him but I don’t think I realized just how invaluable you are until just now. Thank you, Brother.”
He smiles and nods before asking, “How do you want to handle her. She probably knows what you look like since she trapped you in the Mirror,” I nod so he continues, “so a frontal assault likely won’t work. Additionally, if we go at her from the front she’s likely to just use her Magick to stop us in our tracks.”
I nod again and scratch my chin as I try to come up with a plan when he clears his throat and says, “If I may…”
I nod so he continues, “It might work to do what you have already done. Find someone she will never expect violence from and compel them to kill her.”
Nodding I add, “I could always possess them…”
He shakes his head, “And leave Niklaus free, not a very good idea. I would highly recommend that you never leave that body again because this is, what, the third time you’ve possessed him? He’ll know I helped you, so he’ll kill me, and then he’ll track you down and kill you. You told me the other day you were able to enter Caroline after she died, so there is nothing to say he can’t kill the person you’re inside and then bury you preventing you from being able to leave the body. No your best bet is to remain inside Niklaus until The End of Days. Not only will it prevent him from coming after either of us but he’s as close to truly immortal and infallible as any creature can possibly get. You couldn’t find a safer body to be inside of if you tried.”
He’s correct and I know it so there goes the idea of trying to track down an old Witch friend, Rosaline Murphy, and convincing her to put me back in my body and resurrect me, so I nod and tell him, “You are, of course, correct, so we compel someone close to her to kill her.”
He nods and then stands, “I’ll go pack for a week in Baton Rouge, you might wish to do the same.”
I nod and follow him up the stairs to Nik’s room to collect enough clothes to hold me over until we can end this Bennett Bitch and then maybe I can go shopping for new clothes in Nik’s size. I sigh as I can already hear Elijah telling me, ‘Only buy your own style of clothes if you plan for us to go where no one is familiar with Niklaus’ style.’
Since I fully plan to stick around here long enough to watch Nik’s former Blood Bag be tortured until the Curse is broken and then kill herself, which if I’m lucky will take many years to take place, my best bet is in maintaining the illusion that I am Nik.
When I’m done packing I head back downstairs to find Elijah waiting for me. He smiles and says, “If you don’t mind I’ll drive?”
I nod so we head out to the car and settle in for the more than 15-hour drive.
We stop about nine hours into the drive at a hotel and stay the night, and then first thing in the morning, after we’ve both fed, we get back in the car and finish the trip.
When we arrive tracking the Bitch down is fairly easy. We watch her for two days and nights before choosing to compel her boyfriend, Mike.
The next day I follow Mike to work and then wait. As he’s leaving the garage where he repairs cars I walk up to him and quickly catch his eye before telling him, “You will go see Lucy after you clean yourself up. You will take her biggest kitchen knife and slit her throat before stabbing her as many times as you can. You will not stop stabbing her until someone arrives and tells you to stop.”
He nods and repeats my words back to me so I follow him as he heads home. As I wait for him to shower I call Elijah, “It’s done, meet me at her house in about a half an hour.”
I can hear the smile in his voice as he says, “I will see you soon, Brother.”
When Mike and I arrive at Lucy’s house I see Elijah has beaten me there and is waiting down the street in his rental car that is of course rented under an assumed name, Mitchell Smith I believe.
I walk to the car and get in as we wait for Lucy to answer her door. Once she lets Mike in Elijah and I get out of the car and sneak into her backyard to watch through a window.
Lucy leads him into the kitchen where she is busy cooking dinner and when he passes the wood block full of knives he grabs the biggest one and walks up behind her before slitting her throat.
She turns her wide surprised eyes on him and tries to grab for the knife before he knocks her to the ground and bends down and begins stabbing her over and over. She barely had a chance to scream so no one in the neighborhood has any idea what is happening as we stand and watch through the kitchen window until we hear her heartbeat stop, and then we leave. As we walk away, Mike is still busy stabbing her, and I know he will continue until the cops arrive and tell him to stop.
To that end once we return the rental and are back inside Elijah’s car I wait until we’re on the highway out of town before calling 911 with a burner phone and using a local accent I tell the operator that I heard screaming coming from my neighbor’s house and I give Lucy’s address.
I then hang up, turn the phone off, and wipe my finger prints off on my shirt before opening the window and tossing the phone onto the side of the road. Smiling I watch in the side mirror as it bounces and then rolls under the tire of the car behind us.
All is almost right in my world. The only White Oak Stake, all but one of the White Oak Ash Daggers, most of the White Oak Ash, and the Mirror used to trap me are all hidden where only I know their whereabouts and the person responsible for trying to trap me in the Mirror is now dead. I have no desire or plan to use the White Oak Ash Daggers on Elijah or Rebekah so the only things left to do are to retrieve the final White Oak Ash Dagger and the jar of Ashes and hide them, dig up and hide my body, and then sit back and watch the Elena and Damon show until the Curse is broken and Elena meets her fiery end. Maybe after the show is over I’ll see about finding a Witch to melt down and destroy the Daggers once and for all, but for now I’m just looking forward to all the future holds for me, Elijah, and Rebekah, whom we should probably fill in sooner rather than later, but I’ll worry about that when we get back to Mystic Falls. For now, I close my eyes and relive watching the Bennett Bitch’s final moments.
