He'd avoided Elijah for the day and gone to hold up his end of the bargain, turning this Jenna person. He had been afraid to go in and see that he had caused pain to his brother because of he and Reno's fight previously. There was no more avoiding it, no more letting his anger get to him. He moved towards the room where Elijah was and stepped in, closing the door behind him. In true Elijah fashion, he was before a mirror getting fitted for a new suit. He appeared well, but he couldn't be sure. There were times he was himself...and times he was not. Leaning against the door, he watched Elijah take in his image in the mirror.
"May I have a word? Alone." He said clipped, seeing the person who was working on measurements scurry out of the room from his tone. After the door closed, he cleared his throat and moved over to lean against one of the bed posts. "Feeling well, brother?"

Ever since he and Reno had spoken last night he could not get his words out of his mind. He wondered what else he had access to and if he had known about Hayley had he known something else far deeper in the back of his mind. Requiring new suits since the last one he wore was stained with his own blood, the nose bleeds were few and far between and he knew that he was on borrowed time.
Standing in front of the floor length mirror whilst Melanie took his measurements of his outer leg. Wearing the last of his black pants and white shirt he gazed at his reflection, his eyes closing as flashes of memories flooded his mind. Letting out a pain harsh breath as the door to his room opened and his brother Niklaus entered.
"Niklaus. How gracious of you to visit" he smirked a little looking at his brother through the mirror.
When his brother requested to speak alone, he stepped down from the small wooden stool as Melanie gathered her belongings and swerved to avoid him and exited the room.
"Quite well, considering recent events, although I dare say the nightmares are only just the beginning" he admitted, his head jerked involuntary.

He looked down at the floor for a moment, listening to Elijah's voice as he mentioned nightmares. Reno never said it would be fool proofed and it all came with consequences. Looking up, he pushed off of the bed post and closed the gap between them. Placing a hand on his brother's shoulder, he gave him a soft smile. "It's good to have you back, Elijah. I need you at my side if we are to defeat our parents." He swallowed and met his brothers eyes, seeing madness and pain inside. He pulled him into him and hugged him tightly, clapping him on the back.

The corner of Elijah's lips curved into a smile at his brother's words, who was now standing before him. It was at time like these that he could see the goodness in his brother, the kindness that he had spent over a thousand years fight for. When Niklaus pulled him into a brotherly embrace, Elijah did the same and returned the hug. His hand clasping at the back of his brother's neck "And it is good to be home brother" he whispered softly.
"Always and forever" Elijah repeated the same phrase that his brother had spoken. He was not sure if Niklaus and Reno had spoken lately, but after what he and Reno had talked about the previous night he needed to tell his brother.
"It shall not last brother" he spoke dropping his arms from around his "Whatever magic that Reno possesses, it may not last. The darkness inside, cripples him brother. We do not know how much longer this shall last, how much longer I shall last" he admitted honestly to his younger brother.

He swallowed and closed his eyes, enjoying this moment with his brother. They had their fair share of disagreements and battles, but through it all he was still his brother and he'd protect that with his life. Hearing his words, his eyes opened and he clenched his jaw hard. He grew angrier as he pulled back and released his brother from his hold, "What do you mean, not last? I procured his particular magic so that we could overcome the torment our mother has placed upon you and you tell me it shall not last?" His voice was angrier, deeper and pained.
Shaking his head, he clenched his fists at his sides before finally reaching up to place them on Elijah's shoulders. Meeting his eyes, he spoke. "I will ensure that this lasts brother, I will make sure she does not get into your mind again. I will do what it takes to protect our family."

Elijah hung his head low at hearing the anger in his brother's voice. He had expected this from him after Reno had explained what Niklaus had done to get him to New Orleans "Our mother's magic comes from something far stronger than what our friend can handle brother" he tried to explain
"His magic comes from a place that cannot surpass our mother's intent" he paused briefly sensing his brother's rising anger.
Flickering his eyes to his brother's hands that rested on his shoulders, a small curve of a smile on his face; "You are and you have always been the most fierce of us all. In a thousand years, I have never seen anyone successfully stand against you, not even our wicked father, not one of the countless devoted to your destruction. You will protect our home, even in the face of an adversary such as our mother because that, brother, that is what you do" he ended placing his hand on his brother's shoulder.
Elijah turned from his brother briefly as he returned his gaze to the mirror to finish buttoning up his shirt "There is however one thing that I ask of you brother" he paused craning his head to look at his younger brother "Should I slip back in my previous state...I ask that you do not give up our fight. That you shall not let I hinder our plans to reunite you with your child. That you care for and protect Hayley...and Katerina" he ended turning fully to his brother.

He gave a small smirk to Elijah's compliment and looked down for a moment as he continued to speak. Feeling his brother's hand on his shoulder, he looked up at him and nodded. "Indeed, brother. I shall not falter now."
Watching Elijah turn from him to continue buttoning his shirt. He'd never understand how Elijah could wear those suits of his, always crisp and freshly pressed, all the time. Suits made him itchy and it was too confined, too restricting. He preferred a more casual look, but Elijah always looked pristine. It was who he was and had been as far as he could remember. Elijah asked him to do something for him. "Anything." He listened as his brother continued and he smirked more. "It would be my pleasure to ensure that bitch is put back six feet under and sent straight back to the fiery pits of hell where she belongs. But we will do it side by side, Elijah. I will not do it alone. I will find a way, I assure you that."

"Forever the protect brother, our mother's presence has changed you. For the better, the man that I have fought for over a thousand years to stand before" he spoke softly glancing at his brother.
Elijah could not deny that for so long he had spent so many years climbing to a top of a mountain as his brother once commented on, the mountain was just steeper than others. But now standing before his brother he believed that the end was near and that his brother's salvation was within reach.
Fixing his collar on his shirt in the mirror, he frowned as he saw a glimmer of a figure appear in the mirror. Using his hand to support himself as he moved to lean against a wardrobe for support. Pinching the bridge of his nose as he groaned. Surely it was impossible, he believed that he had a few more days before he would experience any of this.

He watched his brother gloat about his redemption being within reach and grinned. "Our mother has underestimated me yet again and I will be honored to remind her just how powerful I am. Her attempts mean nothing and she cannot and will not win. She waged war on us when she went after my daughter." He said with so much vile and anger in his voice.
He was about to make a sarcastic comment about Elijah and his pristine suit when he stumbled a bit and held onto the wardrobe to regain his balance. "Elijah?" He moved over to stand behind him and saw his features change as he flickered in and out of madness. "Do not let her win, brother. Fight it. She must be using more magic, fight it Elijah. Listen to the sound of my voice..."
Post by Elijah Mikaelson on Nov 23, 2014 14:12:42 GMT -6
Elijah could hear his brother's words filled with fear and concern. Keeping his eyes closed as he tried to focus on regaining his balance. His hand tightened around the edge of the wardrobe, a pulse went through him and the wood cracked and splintered under his intensifying grip.
Instantly dropping his hand he turned around to face his brother. He froze. Just behind his brother he saw someone that he never expected to see. Taking a single step towards his brother as though he was not there. His head was becoming dizzy, a faint chant began to ring in his ears.
"Tatia..." he whispered.
Tatia was standing behind his brother, a soft and gentle smile on her face. Elijah's face instantly fell into one of fear as on the side of her neck blood began to appear.

Elijah turned to face him, staggering and weakened. He shook his head, "No...no Elijah fight!" His words fell upon deaf ears as Elijah's eyes focused on someone behind him. There was no one else in the room and he sensed magic all around, knowing his mother was up to no good. "ESTHER!" He yelled out her name in frustration and placed his hands on Elijah's shoulders, attempting to make him focus.
"Elijah, look at me brother. Look at me...." he pleaded, Elijah's face falling into one of fear as he continued to stare. "Do not let her get to you Elijah, it isn't real. Whatever you're seeing it isn't real...."
Post by Elijah Mikaelson on Nov 23, 2014 14:24:49 GMT -6
"Tatia" he whispered again, his hand outreaching to grab hold of her and never let her go.
When the reason for the blood on her neck appeared, bite marks; created by Elijah himself when he had murdered her because he was unable to control himself. He took another step towards her, he could vaguely hear his brother screaming at him to fight it, not let it control him.
His legs gave out from underneath him as his body slumped against his brother's, blood pouring from his nose and his eyes. His head was dizzy and his eyes began fluttering as though he was having a seizure.
"....Tatia" he cried out, craning his head to the side as he spotted Tatia again, a soft smile on her face as her hand cupped his cheek.

Elijah staggered forward and he caught him, slowly lowering him to the ground as he continued to reach for someone. Esther had penetrated Reno's magic somehow and gotten back into his mind, rendering him to this defeated state. Whatever torment their mother had over him was enough to bring him to his knees, make him crumble and pale at the sight he was seeing that Klaus could not. "ELIJAH!" He yelled as his brother began to bleed from the nose and eyes, shaking him to bring him back. "Elijah...come back!" He growled and held his brother in his arms.
Throwing his head back, he called for Reno with such an angry shout and growl that it caused much trampling through the house. Elijah had slipped away from him again.
