She enters the room door and see Niklaus seated at the study, his back to her, paying either little or no attention to her presence. She recalls their last moment together, wanting to speak to him about what happened the other night. Could he possible love me, she thought and she starts to feel that burning sensation again.
" Nick . . . I ", she reaches out her hand and places it on his shoulder.
He gets up immediately and pushes her against the table. Staring at her with anger and disgust. How dare she touch him after touching that man ! She stares at him and for a moment she could taste his rage and also feel his blood boil. He's stands so close to her and she holds her breath in fear of the consequences of being alive. Her body begins to tremble under his gaze and the action gets him even more disgusted.
" Y . . Y. .our . . H ", she tries to find her words as tears slowly well up in her eyes but she stubbornly refuses to let them flow.
" You are weak and useless and what makes it worse is you aren't this way. So don't you dare touch me! You don't deserve to be my mate ! You are nothing but a slave and I your Master! Kneel ! You are my mother's curse and I refuse to let her have her way "his voice isn't loud but she already feels breathless. He moves back a bit and she immediately falls to the ground trembling. He looks down at her fighting to urge to snap her neck.
Hypocrite! Such a hypocrite!
" Now I'm going to make You ! I'm go teach you to be You! Now get up! " he looks at her with utter disgust in his eyes.
" Get. Up !". She takes hold of the table and pull herself up. Niklaus moves over to the bedside table and grabs a fruit knife.
" Take the knife. Now, lesson one. Always have your revenge, because it belongs to you "
" Now plunge that knife into me "
" What ?"
" I won't repeat myself love "
" I . . . I can't"
" Don't play me for a fool love. You've taken a life before. I'm your mate, I know a lot more about you than you think"
" I still can't do ... " , he grabs her by the throat before she could finish. Tightening his grip every second as Elisa struggles for her life.
" It's kill or be killed. Now do it ! "
" I . . . errk . . . can't. . . Ple . . ."
" Do. It ", he tightens his grip on her again and her face begins to change color.
" Your Highness ", Vatler walks in and signals to Niklaus. He lets to of Elisa and walks over to Vatler and she falls to the ground desperately trying to catch her breath. She looks at the knife in her hands and drops it like it suddenly got hot.
" It's time, Your Highness "
" Mm ", he responds and leaves the room with Vatler not even sparing her a glance. She sits on the floor covered in cold sweat.
" Arrrgh ! ", she screams her lungs out, trying to get rid of all the emotions clouding her mind.
She sits there for goodness knows how long. Just sitting. . . Sitting and thinking about . . . ? Nothing.
" Having a bad day? "she gets startled by Fred's sudden appearance but at the moment she didn't want to talk to him or at least she wasn't in the mood.
" What do you want ", her voice comes out colder and much more confident than she expected. Maybe Niklaus' teachings had a little effect.
," See ? A bad day. What did my brother do "
Silence
" I know he seems all rough now but he wasn't always like this and the real him is still in there . . . . Somewhere ish. We just have to hope we live long enough to find him and only you can make that possible. I've seen it in him,he cares about you ".
He walks into the bedroom and sits beside her on the floor. He takes notice of the knife and picks it up. Slowly turning to Elisa.
" What did he make you do " , he asks her. His voice sounding comforting and soothing.
" I don't want to talk about him ! "
" But you need to. If you want to survive "
" You know what? You're right . . . "
" Elisa you need to . . . Wait what ? You agree with me. That was quick, makes me wonder even more what Niklaus tried to do to you "
" You're not allowed to care about me "
" Pretty sure you can't stop me from caring "
" You said Niklaus wasn't always like this. What happened to him? What made him this way "
" It's a who but that's another subject for later. I doubt you suddenly want to know about his past. So spill, what do you actually want "
" I want a spell that could lock out my emotions ", she says seriously finally raising her head and looking at his for the first time since he showed up.
Silence
She sits there trying to read his expression but . .
. Nothing ! Only . . .
Silence
He gets up to leave suddenly and startles her as he heads for the door.
" What's wrong ? Is there no such spell ? Fr . . . Vincent I'm talking to you listen ! Please", he halts at the door for a while, then turns to look at her. He stares at her for a while, seriously searching for any hint that she might me joking but no! She was serious about it all, more like she was desperate.
" What happened to you Elisa ? This can't be you "
" Then maybe you don't know me at. Ohw wait! You actually don't, so drop this act of love. I know better ", she retorts.
" I'm sick of it all Vincent. I'm sick of being the one everyone tramples on. I always hold it in. Everything! My emotions, my thoughts and even my powers for fear that the moment I snap I'll kill someone. I don't know why I feel this way but I do and it eats me up on the inside. . Every. Single. Day "
" See this is it Elisa. This is the effect Niklaus has on people and I can't let you, I won't. You are the only one around my brother who still reasons like a human. I can't take that as well. You're his only hope "
" I won't hold back anymore not after I've found someone to support me. We're two lost souls Vincent, I can't help him "
" And you're right about that. But you two could help each other "
" So you're not gonna help me. Then I'll just have to help myself ". She picks up the knife and pushes past Fred.
" Elisa where are you going. Elisa stop ! " She turns around. The blade only an inch away from Fred's throat. He looks at her in shock then he searches her eyes and finds . . . Nothing ! She's gone.
" Don't try to stop me if you still want to live ", she turns and leaves. Fred stands still dazed and speechless.
Elisa walks out on him heading straight for where she for some reason felt Niklaus'presence. She sees him walking ou
t of a room. Without hesitation she walks up to him and slits his throat.
" I've so wanted to do that "
