Gone Chapter 8
All chapters can be found here
Elijah POV:
Ella looked at me, I couldn't tell from her face what she was thinking, she turned around and looked at the family. "Why don't you ask Isabella herself?" she replied to me and let her gaze wander over the surroundings, "Because she wouldn't tell me the truth," I replied. Her words still resonated, Ella's fate was interwoven with mine and I had no idea what that was meant.
I still knew more than her name and that Isabella had torn her out of her life, according to a now deceased elder. "But I do?" I heard her say before she got up and looked at me, "If you want answers, you have to talk to Isabella, I don't want to let myself goanywhere," she clarified.
I got up and with the help of manipulation I ordered her to tell me the truth, "I'm not going to tell you the truth, Marcel didn't seem to tell you that I can't be manipulated, so grab Isabella and force her to tell you the truth," Ella revealed to me, a connection between Isabella and Marcel that I didn't know about.
Before Ella could leave, I held her back, "I want answers and you seem to know something I don't know, it would be smarter of you to tell me the truth" I clarified, Ella tore herself loose and looked at me, anger was reflected in her eyes, "I can't tell the truth if I don't know what Isabella is hiding" she clarified again and although her heartbeat was faster,I could not say with 100% certainty whether she lied or not.
"She's paranormally gifted, Elijah," Isabella interfered and stopped next to me, she first examined Ella and then me, "I suspect it's related to the fact that no vampire can manipulateher," she added, addressing Ella.
"You shouldn't be so open about being immune to the manipulation of vampires," she advised her, and Ella looked at her, the facial expression she used to treat the dark-haired witch was anything but friendly.
"I don't need your advice Isabella, I don't know what kind of plan you witches have, but let me out of there," Ella replied to her, leaving us standing where a person had just stood, hanging only the vague smell of Vanille.
When I turned to Isabella, I was greeted with the well-known facial expression of her, which made me understand directly that I would not know anything from her.
One thing was very important to Isabella, that her circle was safe.
"I'm not going to tell you anything Elijah, I don't know what Antoinette told you, but it's not up to me to give you the answers you're looking for," Isabella told me and left me standing.
Antoinette's words resonated, my fate was intertwined with the young woman and it didn't answer why there were no records of her, I would do some research, but first I would askmy brotherhow the rest of my family was doing.
After a phone call with Rebekah and Niklaus, I was encouraged in my intention to find out more, to find the reason, what exactly had been going on for several months. What exactly the witches were upto.
But first of all, I would pay a visit to a certain person. I wanted to know what Antoinette meant by the fact that Ella had been torn out of her life and I would get answers.
Ella POV: Antoinette's words resonated, she had been able to see my aura, she had seen that I did not come from this reality, thisworld, whatever you wanted to call it.
But why would I find answers at the cemetery in Mystic Falls? What did Mystic Falls have to do with it?
After what happened today, I had the feeling that something was hanging over my head, something or someone had let me getit, but why?
Apart from the fact that today I had met a person for the first time, where I could feel thatthis person did not have long to live, it should have made me much more afraid that I had not only felt this, but also instinctively knew what it meant.
What did that mean? What did this new knowledge mean?
Arriving at the apartment that I was supposed to call home, I let myself fall on the couch and closed my eyes for a few minutes.
I reviewed the last moments of Antoinette, she had heard me talking to a Dutch tourist a few weeks ago, her ancestors were from the Netherlands and I didn't know what to think of it.
This situation was surreal, apart from the fact that I was in areality, a world where magic, vampires, werewolves and witches were real. And I was in the middle of it.
As it was possible, I didn't know what Mystic Falls had to do with it, even less and especially the cemetery there. For whatever reason Antoinette, of all places, had mentioned the cemetery. My thoughts went on a roller coaster, my feelings changed from anger to self-pity to anger again, I didn't know what I was feeling, I didn't know what to think of all this and then again not to mention that my fate was supposedly connected to that of Elijah.
How could my fate be connected to a primordial vampireif I hadn't even been born here? Maybe Antoinette was wrong and someone else was meant, someone who had been born here and she had confused me with this person, maybe I looked like her and that's why she had told me that.
But that didn't make sense because she knew I wasn't from here, I didn't know anything about magic, witches and anything else, that was clear.
Before I could think further about what Antoinette meant, there was a knock on the door. When I opened the door, Elijah was facing me, his brown eyes looking at me and then wandering one floor down, a slight grin playing around his lips as he had read the inscription.
"Grateful Dead?" he read theimprint, "A rock band, even if I don't know the music, I liked the T-shirt, any other questions?" I answered him and he looked at me.
"I already have a few questions," he replied and stepped past me into the apartment, since it was not in my name and had no other living owner, vampires could enter effortlessly. I locked the door behind him and waited. What did he want? Elijah turned to me,"Why did Marcellus try to manipulate you?" was the first question he asked, even if it was one I didn't expect.
Flashback:
"I'm supposed to do what?" I heard Marcel ask, I still didn't know why I was here and how it was possible, but I knew that Isabella kept the reason why I was here a secret from me.
"They manipulate that she voluntarily tells me what she knows, why else would my ancestors have helped me to get her?" Heard Isabella demand, her ancestors? Those rattling bones that kept interfering with the living?
"Why don't you just ask them? Why should she know anything? Where does she come from?" Marcel asked legitimate questions, I stopped listening, Isabella had not wanted to tell me what I supposedly knew, she had only asked me if I knew where I was, something I had deliberately denied. I knew I was in New Orleans. In America.
However I came here, I certainly wouldn't tell Isabella anything and if I was honest, it had been a long time since I had watched the series and couldn't remember every detail. Even more reasons not to say anything, to keep my mouth shut.
Later, when Marcel sat down with me, I already knew that he would try to manipulate me.
That I was immune to his manipulation, I did not know at the time.
Not to mention what consequences this could have.
Flashback end.
"If I understand this correctly, then Isabella wanted to know from you what you know about the supernatural community? Why is this important for Isabella?" Elijah wanted to know from me.
"How am I supposed to know? I'm not Isabella and not a witch, in case you forgot that, I don't knowwhat exactly Isabella wants or why I seem to be immune to thought manipulation," I replied to him slightly annoyed.
"That doesn't explain what Antoinette meant by ripping you out of your life," the original vampire drilled further, why did he need to know exactly what she had said.
"Sorry, I don't speak witch jargon, I can't help" I tried to hide the truth because I couldn't explain where I came fromor how it waspossible.
Elijah did not believe me a word, I did not need to be paranormally gifted, nor to have a great human knowledge, the unbelief was to be read on his facial features.
"And I'm supposed to believe that? For someone who knows nothing about Isabella's plans, you're either stupid enough to lie to a primordial vampire or you're hiding something," Elijah made it clear that he didn't believe me.
"I don't know if I would call it stupid, but I don't know what Isabella's plans are and just because I don't directly share every one of my secrets with a vampire doesn't mean I'm lying," I clarified and looked at him, "I still don't know what exactly Antoinette meant by that I would find answers in Mystic Falls, in a cemetery," I added and ran to the window. The sun had disappeared behind clouds and bathed the room in a gloomy twilight.
"Then please explain to me why you can't find a social security number or any other data that could indicatethat there is an Ella of Els at all," he asked me to explain.
"But there is data from you? So how do you explain that they are over 1000 years old? True, that's not necessary, because there is manipulation for that," I replied to him, that was something I had never understood, in this world there were so many details, so many different places where data was stored and yet vampires like Elijah lived in this world without any problems.
"As I said before, I have no idea what the witches are planning," I added, crossing my arms in front of my chest.
"Then you will accompany me on a little road trip," Elijah replied calmly, I almost noticed my mouth when I heard his words. "I'm supposed to do something?" I checked in disbelief, not sure if my ears had conveyed his words correctly to me.
"Accompany me, you seem to be immune to manipulation, don't claim to knowwhat exactly the witches want from you and I know a witch in Mystic Falls who would be very stupid to lie to me," Elijah replied to me and I knew he was talking about Bonnie.
"In other words, what means that she dies otherwise, is there actually another way of asking someone to tell the truth without threatening death?" I checked and tried to hide how caustic I found it that he would just tear a person out of life without thinking about why someone might not tell the truth.
Elijah looked at me, "I am a man of my word, unfortunately it has often been shown in the past that you can not rely on the word of others, whether I can trust you, that is the question, if I make sure that the witches do not exert any influence on you, then I will do that, even if I have to force you," the original vampire clarified.
The arrogance with which he made this statement caused me even more dislike, how had I been able to find this character in the series good?
Doing everything for his family was one thing, but putting everything above others, without regard for others, just keeping an eye on his family, that went too far even for me.
I wasn't the most compassionate person, but that went too far for me. I had no idea that I would experience some surprises in Mystic Falls.
