He approaches her and flashes her a warm smile which she returns.
" Do you mind ? ", he says pointing at the spot next to her.
" I don't "
" Umm . . . I'm Alberto James Moriarty ", he says offering her his hand.
" The name's Elisa . . . Elisa Roselyn " she says and gives him her hand. He plants a soft peck at the back of her hand - just a warm gesture.
" What are you doing here by yourself " , she frowns a little at the question.
" Don't get me wrong, I was just asking where your accomplice is. You didn't come here alone, did you ? "
" I didn't actually . . . . I came with my brother " , she lies. She wasn't ready to chase someone away at the mention of Niklaus' name.
" Good, so why aren't on the dance floor "
" Why are you not on the dance floor " , she avoids his question.
" Actually, dancing is not really my specialty ", he chuckles. She smiles.
They sit in silence for a while.
" Do you mind taking a stroll with me. I heard the Alpha mansion is a rare sight", he says finally breaking the silence.
" Sure ", she says not telling him that she actually lives here .
They take a stroll and they engage in a conversation as he enlightens her on the meaning of the art pieces around the mansion.
Soon they start hearing loud steps but ignore it.
" James ! ! ! " , someone shouts. Elisa turns and finds Niklaus approaching them with anger spelt out on his features. He immediately carries James up and pushes him against the wall. He ball his palm into a fist ready to end Alberto's life.
" Niklaus stop ", she yells between sobs. That's the first she has ever called him by his name but she couldn't care about that right now. He suddenly drops Alberto and turns to Elisa.
" You ! I would never have to do all this if you weren't so intent in opening your legs for anything that feigns you a sm . . . ", before he could complete his statement, Elisa strikes him hard across the cheeks.
His expression changes to that of shock and anger and even she is shocked by her actions. She immediately runs out of the room to avoid further embarrassment. Niklaus wants to go after her but he has something else to deal with - Alberto.
He continues to beat Alberto and he draws blood.
" You can't kill me . . . You know what my brother can do to you " , Niklaus looks at him the anger. Niklaus throws him across the room then leaves in search of Elisa.

POV Elisa
The moment I strike Niklaus, I was so scared and so angry that I refused to let myself get scared, but I was. It was such a complicated feeling, I had to run out. I didn't actually know where I was headed but I knew I'll get somewhere . . . But where ? That I didn't know the answer to.
Argh !
Suddenly, I'm pulled into one of the bedrooms. I'm overwhelmed with fear but the moment I see my so called captor, I ease up.
" Kristan ?"
" Elisa, we have to get out of here right now, I've planned it all, you just have to come with me "
" What ? "
" Just trust me, okay ", I look right into his eyes and I know I could trust him.
" I don't have the luxury of time to explain but I will when we get there "
I follow him as we sneak out of the palace to an unknown destination. He really looked like he had it all planned.
He takes me to a sea ?
" What the hell are we doing here ? ", I ask.
" The Alpha can track most of the activities on this island but it's nearly impossible for him to find us on the mainland. So living there is our only option of survival ", I just nod slowly in agreement. I don't exactly understand it but I know he's sure we'll be safe and being honest there's nothing I'll miss back here.
I follow him and we board a ship for the mainland.
" I know you still have doubts but I'll clear them when we arrive", he says
" I know, I trust you. I'm actually glad you didn't leave me behind in that shit hole ", she says and they both chuckle.
