Chapter Eighty Two: This Love

Hayley's POV: Elijah put me in his bedroom and left me some blood bags for the day. He said that he didn't want me to try anything else, but now that we don't know how to kill me I kind of can't, but they don't want to take any chances I suppose. Anyway, I was left to listen to everything they were doing downstairs...

Katherine's POV: We were all downstairs while Hayley was locked in Elijahs bedroom, there was me, Elijah, Nik, and Kaylee. We sent Caroline and Matt home because they were human and didn't know as much as we did. We started our research and couldn't find anything. We searched up everything from the internet to witches spell books. The only thing we could find was a topic on original vampires in one of Emily's old spell books, about everything that was in an originals power that they didn't know for the better. Apparently when an Original has unfinished business and isn't ready to die they don't. There's a loophole every time. So when I died I wasn't really dead, well not forever, I had unfinished business so I came back, eventually plus I wasn't ready to die. But Hayley said she was ready to die so she would've, unless she wasn't or she had unfinished business, but according to Elijah she never had business with anyone or had anything that needed done soon. So why didn't she die? Well, I'm about to go upstairs and play my favorite game, answer or vervain! I'll ask Hayley a question and if she doesn't answer it correctly then I'll throw some good ol' vervain on her then I'll get an answer out of her...

Hayley's POV: Katherine came upstairs, I didn't even bother trying to run, she's way stronger than me so I just stayed where I was, she said that she came up to ask me some questions. I told her she could. Katherine asked if I really did want to die, I wanted to be honest but I didn't want Nik or Elijah to hear, so I asked if Kaylee could come up here, and once she came up I told her to make it so that Elijah and Nik couldn't hear a word we said. She agreed and put some sage in the room mixed with a blockage spell, like a noise cancelling spell that only people in the room could hear. Now that it was only me, Katherine and Kaylee I answered her question, I said that I didn't want to die, nobody does, but I knew it's what should've happened so in a way yes I did want to die. For the better of everyone and myself. Then she asked me a weird question, if I had any unfinished business or anything I didn't get to do yet. I told that there was only a few things, I wanted to travel and see the world for a little, get married, and have children of my own! They both started giving me looks of sorrow, I knew they felt bad because Katherine didn't want any and Kaylee can have kids since she's only a witch, I felt bad for me too! I mean the only thing I wanted more than kids was marriage and like that was happening anytime soon, and I'd never be able to have kids, I'm a vampire, we are technically dead! And once I realized it and saying it out loud, I started crying. Katherine and Kaylee said that they would be right back, but they weren't, they brought Elijah to his room where I was, still crying. I tried to hide it from Elijah, but he knew better, he saw I was crying and rushed over to me. He asked what was wrong, I didn't want to tell him so I didn't, none of it was going to come true so why should I even bring it up...

Elijah's POV: Hayley was crying, I held her and asked what was wrong, she didn't answer. She only shook her head, I didn't really know why she was crying but I knew she needed someone to be there for her, me! So I laid her down on the bed with me and we just laid there, her head was on my chest and I knew she was starting to calm down and stop crying which was good. Eventually when she stopped we started talking, I told her how great being a vampire is, especially an Original. I told her how the world is at the end of her fingertips and that anything she wants out of life is exactly what she gets, whether it's from me or someone else, and that anything she puts her mind to is something that will happen. Then she was ready to leave, she had a smile on her face and I knew why, she knew it too! She knew I was head over heels for her and she was for me too. She knew trying to kill herself was her biggest mistake, and that she never wanted to leave my side again! I felt a little better myself, we both walked down the stairs with smiles. Hand in hand we walked and everyone immediately knew everything was ok now since she was happy again. I still didn't know why she was crying earlier, but that was a conversation for another time I suppose...
