Imagine helping Elijah after he is forced to take the cure PART 1 of 2

  When the residents of Mystic Falls, and the friends of them, heard about the cure for vampirism, an immediate search began. Many people wanted that antidote, for their own reasons, though it felt like half of the population of your hometown went looking for the cure to get it for Elena. Everyone went  led by their own urges though, while you sided with Damon - you were kind of loving the vampire life and didn't want to change it. Not right now, at least. You were pretty happy with your life the way it was, and didn't feel the need to change your status from badass vampire to boring human.

  You didn't have anyone special in your life either, so you weren't exactly worrying about babies and stuff, you were quite alike with Damon, but not even he could fill the requirements you had for the role of your boyfriend. You didn't mind the free life, anyway, so you didn't look for someone to date, either. You expected life to throw down an angel from the sky when you'd be ready to fall in love, but right now, it seemed like you weren't.

  When life decided that you were finally ready, you didn't know it yourself. You were pretty dragged into the whole cure thing, and didn't expect to find love on the way that you went through to help Damon with getting the cure for Elena - who didn't want it anymore. It didn't make sense to you, but you and Damon had become close friends and you had decided to help him with nothing better to do anyways. You also did not expect the love of your life to be someone you already knew, and had met, but that was exactly the deal.

  "Here's the plan, Y/N. Whoever Katherine is going to meet knows it won't be her when you show up, but you're going to squeeze information out of her or him whatever it takes, alright? Use compulsion if necessary", Damon instructed you, as you styled your hair and put on a leather jacket. You nodded your head - you were about to go on an important mission, to find out the location of the cure for Damon who had gotten aware of the plans of Elena, Rebekah and Katherine.

  "Sure. No problem, Damon", you mumbled. The plan was, go to the spot where Katherine was supposed to meet the mysterious EM and get facts and when you'd know where the cure was hidden, you and Damon would get there and steal the antidote, and he'd feed it to Elena whether he'd have to force it down her throat or not. You were quite ready, at least then all of this would be over.

  You left the apartment Damon had compelled for you two, and confidently walked to where the meeting has supposed to be had, as prepared as one could only be. It got all destroyed though, when the mystery person arrived, and spoke up. In fact, it burned down all of your walls, leaving you weak and amazed by who was standing in front of you.

  "Y/N, lovely to see you again. You are not who I quite expected, though, so where is Katerina if I may ask?"

  You turned around, and your heart rose to your throat when you locked eyes with Elijah Mikaelson. He wasn't only an Original, and scary because of that, but also charming, and handsome, and capable of melting your heart and causing your knees to wobble and your hands to become sweaty and your head to feel like exploding. He stole hearts easily, it was something you were sure he did on a daily basis, even if he didn't know it.

  But as he flashed that crooked, sexy smirk, you grew certain that he did in fact know what he did to women even when he was only standing.

  "Katherine is busy", you began, clearing your throat, "I, on the other hand, am here to get some valuable information from you. You wouldn't happen to know where the cure is, would you, Elijah?", and earned a chuckle from the Original vampire. He shrugged his shoulders, and walked closer to you, his shiny shoes clicking on the pavement while he pushed his hands deep into his the pockets of his classy trousers.

  You swallowed thickly, and looked at his perfect features - that damn smile, those glistening eyes, flawless skin and jawline so sharp it could cut. Hollow cheeks, gorgeous hair, and a stunning body hidden by a tight suit that hugged every inch of him like it was painted on him. He was overall perfect, and you felt your throat going dry and your breathing turning uneven as he came closer to you, and tilted his head to the side, his fingers finding place on your blushed cheek.

  "My, my, my, Y/N. Has the Salvatores gotten you into this mess as well? I am sure they are after the cure to get it for the sweet Elena", Elijah spoke softly, his voice like velvet, entering your head and making it dizzy as he stared into your eyes passionately, warmly and intensely. Your dead heart felt like jumping back to life while you breathed in his scent - that's how close he was, for you to adore his lingering manly aftershave and natural scent. He was so gorgeous.

  "Nope. I'm after it for myself, Elijah. I want to be human", you said, avoiding eye contact with him now since it made you much more fidgety and nervous. He noticed though, but as if not, he continued the conversation, either pretending or not, to be interested in your reasons behind the want for the cure. It seemed like he had it, or knew of its whereabouts, concluding from the way he tried to avoid talking about the location. Yet he seemed to know quite much.

  "Oh? And why would you want it? You seem to be doing quite well, living as a vampire and what not. I have always known you as one to be happy and enjoy the life you're living", Elijah said, still close to your body, his face above yours, enough that if he wanted to, he could even kiss you.

  "Well, maybe you don't know me that well, after all. I have my reasons. I want to be human. So, do you know where the cure is, or not?", you asked, and turned to look back into his eyes, wanting answers and not flirting, although you didn't mind that either, but for the sake of the mission you were on... You had to do this.

  Elijah sighed, and let go of you, walking away but stopped after a few fairly large steps. "I can tell when you are lying to me, Y/N. You're talented, but not quite enough, love", Elijah spoke. "But I do have the cure", he then suddenly said, and pulled a small bottle of red liquid from his pocket. You gasped, and took a step back, shocked, though then again not so much, but nevertheless amazed to see the cure right there, in front of your eyes.

  "You seem surprised", Elijah said in amusement. "Please, love. I hope you are not expecting me to hand it over to you just like that", he continued, and you sighed in disappointment, you had already hoped that Elijah had warmed up for you enough but clearly not.

  But then, out of nowhere - Damon arrived.

  "That's right, because it's going to be all yours", he spoke, and grabbed Elijah's hand, opening the small bottle and pushing it to the Original vampire's lips, pouring the liquid down his throat. You screamed in disagreement, not wanting this to happen, but there you stood - witnessing Damon forcefully feed the cure to Elijah Mikaelson. Your hands trembled, and you ran to Elijah, who fell to his knees after Damon had poured all of the cure into his mouth. The poor man collapsed, and his eyes closed, while you tried to shake him awake in fear, and Damon sprinted away.

  You had no clue what he had been trying to do here, but now there was no cure for Elena or Rebekah or anyone - all that Damon had reached was bring eternal misery for someone who had been living as a vampire for centuries. He had done a damn big mistake.

  Hours later, Elijah woke up gasping for air, clutching to his chest and scaring the hell out of you. He immediately growled at you, lunging at you but you moved briskly away, not adoring the thought of being slaughtered by him. But then, he understood that he wasn't as quick as he used to be. And in shock, he stared at you, you who had been sitting by his side for the past three hours.

  "Y-Y/N? What the... Did I-- Did you just-- Damon...", he rambled, not really making a clear question, but you knew he was confused and wanted answers to his silent questions, so you offered some.

  "Elijah, calm down. I came here to get the cure for Elena, although I said it would be for me, but I swear, I had no idea what Damon had planned. But he fed the cure to you. And I think... I think you're human now, 'Lijah", you explained, and he huffed, not sure how to feel about it. He stumbled up, and against the wall on the street, still processing everything you just told him. The first thing he felt like doing, was testing his vampirism, and took a small rock from the ground which he used to cut his palm. He began bleeding, but to his shock, it didn't heal.

  It didn't heal.

  You swallowed loudly, and got up from the ground and walked to Elijah who was losing his shit right in front of you. You put a hand on his shoulder, and he, weak and fragile, didn't know what else to do than cling onto you and hug you tightly. You let out a happy sigh, and hugged him back, letting him seek for your warmth and comfort. You couldn't even imagine how lost he must have felt.

  So you decided to help him.

  "Elijah, I'm going to help you be human. I know I'm a vampire, but it's only been a couple of decades so I still know most things. It's not that hard, really. I think. But my point is - you'll need help, and luckily for you, I am right here. I'm partly guilty here, anyway", you promised, and Elijah nodded. He definitely needed your guidance.

  And it was going to be interesting.
