rewriting of season 4 episodes 9-11. in this is you who gets taken by the hollow not him. does not follow completely the same the episodes. includes also your platonic relationship with the others and flashbacks of new scenes of you and elijah in the centuries. first two parts follow the show closely.
Part 2 The Rescue - summary:
elijah deals with you being kidnapped. the family and elijah come rescue you
genre: angst and fluff (flashbacks) with happy ending
Notes:
The first two parts are mostly rewrite of the episode featuring you and I added some scenes. the rest is my interpretation of what the storyline could be with you, featuring again heavy canon rewritten but mostly made up scenes
Warning: temporary character de4th but with happy ending, canon violence/threats, grief, lots of angst, fluff, main character death and resurrection
Sorry for the grammatical errors. I’m new at writing so feedback is appreciated. Thank you for reading. do not translate or appropriate my work
I rewatched season 4 a few months ago and now finally managed to finish this series. A few days ago i found the story ‘Hollowed Trap’ by the incredible talented @xxwritemeastoryxx and realised that my part 1 and 2 of the story are similar (as follow the episode and both use dialogue from the show) to their ‘Hollowed Trap’ still i would like to ankoweldge it having them published it before. They are a terrific writer and all their stories are amazing check them out.
Freya and Vincent were trying to find a solution, failing to find a spell or a dark object in which to trap the hollow.
‘you know. it’s funny how five years ago we were in the same position and you decided to sacrifice Davina. Is y/n’s life just more worth?’ Vincent accused the witch
‘y/n is my sister-in-law. Okay? And I regret what I did to Davina every single day’
‘y/n is probably the only mikaelson I can tolerate, I thought she was better then all of you, more caring, less of a killing spree, but then when it came to protect your family, guilt or no she did everything to save you not caring about the others. So she is just as rotten at the rest of you and I think we are just wasting our time trying to find a loophole when her death is inevitable’
‘whatever you think I’m not giving up. Her death will break this family, especially Klaus. And I can’t even think of what it will do to elijah’ freya stated her own grief rising
‘is it really giving up though freya? y/n is a thousand years old. How many lifetimes are going to be enough? She lived 20 times the lifespan of the people she fed on. And Elijah? They have been together 10-20 lifetimes when most of use lose who we love in a few decades’
‘I get it okay? You hate us. But that for me is not enough to let my sister-in-law die to stop some monster that has nothing to do with her’
‘you as the rest of them don’t get it! There’s no other choice, no option. You are the oldest family in the world you have seen empires rise and fall everything dies !’ he shouted
‘not y/n. not today, okay? We already lost my brother finn- Wait. I’ve find the solution!’ freya exclaimed
-.-.-.
Elijah always drank from a glass, it was a matter of composure but right now maybe for the first time in a millennium he was drinking straight from the bottle of liquor, now empty when previously was untouched.
klaus stopped at the door of elijah’s study, looking at his big brother, pain written all over his feature not only at the thought of his sister-in-law, his best friend, in danger but at the sight of his brother in pain.
elijah hears Klaus at the door frame ‘you know she is afraid of the sleeping alone in the dark?’ he says speaking about you
Klaus shakes his head entering the room
‘It reminds her still of when she was little and the night her family was killed and she was brought by mikeal in our house, little she knew at the time that it had been him’
‘when we were human and still children more than teenagers one night I couldn’t sleep and as I paced around in the tent we then called house I saw her. she was so afraid of the dark she could not sleep but father had taken away her candle, saying she was too old for a light in the dark. so I told her I would stay there with her until she fell asleep if she wanted to. You should have seen her eyes, she really thought I could protect her. after that night as of her request i would sneak in and hold her until she fell asleep, it was there i started to realize that i loved her’ he continues, giving his brother only his shoulder as he looks in the fireplace
‘you never told me this’ said Klaus, eyes watery as he steps further in the room
‘it was our secret. but that is not the point. when i asked her to marry me i promised her she would not need to spend another night fearing the dark. Because I would be there, always and forever until the end of time, I would hold her and protect her from the night. No one would get her again, not until I was there’ he says anger rising in him
‘I failed my own wedding vows, niklaus, i left her alone to give marcel that devilish dagger’ he stands up and looks at klaus starting to loose his classical calm
‘and exactly what she feared happened. she was taken in the night and now she is somewhere, a stake in her back fighting for her life’ he throws the glass that shatters colliding with the wall, Klaus flinches
Elijah voice rises still with composure although his body language is all but composed ‘I gave her my word and broke it, what kind of man am i? What kind of husband am I?’ he said voice trembling
‘brother..’ says klaus looking down, elijah’s face contorts in pain at the thought of you in pain
‘I can’t loose her Niklaus, you might think that after 1000 year it could be time, that I would be ready to let go. but it isn’t. i love her more than when we were human if that even possible, before the little innocence was taken from us. I can’t live without her, i won’t’ he says voice breaking as a tear rolls down his eye,
klaus comes nearer tears treating to fall from his eyes too, he places a reassuring hand on Elijah’s neck, looking him in the eyes ‘I assure you brother that we will bring her home, and we will make pay who tried to take her from us. from you’ he vows
Elijah hugs Klaus for a few moments trying to suppress the cry that is threatening to fall
‘come, freya has some news’ he tells him as elijah nods before exiting the room with him
As they walk, Klaus keeps his hand on Elijah’s shoulder to comfort him, when in the corridor they are met by little Hope. Hope is a child but can see clearly that both her father and uncle are completely devastated.
‘dad? Uncle Elijah?’ hope asks them
‘hope’ Elijah says trying to find his composure and give his niece a smile while Klaus says ‘sweety. I didn’t see you there’
Hope looks at them timidly ‘aunt y/n is sick, isn’t she?’, Elijah does his best to not make his face fall, while Klaus squeezes his brother shoulder before kneeling at his daughter eye level
‘aunt y/n is very sick’ he tells her honestly but tenderly
‘well can we help her?’ she asks, her eyes darting between the two men ‘we are doing everything that we can. I can promise you that’ klaus vows, his words intended also towards Elijah which is staying silent, afraid to speak
‘maybe I can help aunt freya do a spell to make her feel better?’ hope asks hopefully
‘that’s very brave of you’ Elijah tells her before klaus can speak ‘but there is no necessity honey, thank you anyhow for your sweet thought’ Elijah says trying to give her a smile, but the child is seven not stupid. She moves away from her father and stands in front of her uncle, he looks at her uncertain of her next move, but then she hugs him and he reciprocate a single tear falling down his eye
‘she will soon be better I’m sure’ hope states during the hug ‘mom says aunt y/n is the strongest person she has ever met’ Elijah smiles at that, locking eyes with Klaus that is smiling sadly at the picture in front of him
Elijah pats the child’s hair before letting her go, as he looks at her he states, his tone warm, ‘and you mum as always is quite right’
-.-..-.-.
‘Vincent said the ancestors can trap the hollow but an original must die, if y/n is going to one way or another we can take her sacrifice and I can try place her soul in a pendant’ explained freya to Klaus, elijah and hayley, herself not keen of the idea
‘what do you mean with try sister’ asked Elijah even less keen of the idea, his fingertips tapping the table
‘look it won’t be easy, we need to find her and it will need all of my magic. And y/n has been poisoned for some time. there is…. There is a chance she won’t survive the process’ freya says defeated as Hayley‘s eyes tear up.
klaus paced around the room in silence as elijah’s knuckles turned white by how much strength he was putting in holding the door, his fingers leaving a trace on the doorframe because of the pressure. He was thinking of a better solution, but he was not finding one, still the idea of risking your life was something beyond comprehension for him
‘but I would survive’ said Klaus an idea coming to his mind as elijah’s eyes widened at Klaus’s idea
‘klaus’ said freya warning him
‘you can channel my death to imprison the hollow before she kills y/n. yes I will be in the pendant and the rest of you can find her, cure her and bring her home’ he said convinced
‘niklaus, I’m not trading your life for y/n’s’ elijah said stepping from the door closer to his brother, his tone leaving no space for argument
‘this is insane’ said Hayley agreeing
‘that evil wench if not killed will come for hope’ said Klaus as the other shacked their heads
‘sacrifice me, save y/n and kill the hollow. this is the only way’ klaus said convinced to an extent that most people in the room had never seen on him, he was not thinking about it twice. The two most important people of his life, his daughter and his best friend life were at stakes and if he could save them damn the risk.
‘nikalus I can’t ask you to die even if temporary. It should be me, she is my wife and she would kick us both for even considering it’ Elijah told him, as much as he knew this plan was good he could not risk losing also his little brother, the person he raised, and which redemption was his life purpose. If someone should be sacrificed for you it should be himself. Elijah was your husband, he would die for you in heartbeat, and consider it his honor and joy. You meant to him more than life, as you were his life.
‘we don’t have time to debate this. you are not asking elijah, I’m offering. y/n is my best friend and you know how much I care for her. You go save her, she needs you. It’s going to be okay.’ Klaus told him squeezing Elijah’s shoulder
Elijah thought about it for a moment, his eyes on the floor, then he raised his gaze, his eyes watery and nodded, Klaus let out a breath he did not know he was holding and reciprocated the hug when elijah hugged him tight
‘thank you niklaus, you have my gratitude’ he said holding the younger’s neck as he spoke
‘my pleasure. And also I can’t wait to brag to y/n how I saved her from now to eternity’ said Klaus smirking ‘work your magic sister’ he replied
none of them liked the plan but it was the best they could do, he gave the pendant to freya who took it reluctantly
–.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Klaus was to be sacrificed by Vincent as marcel tricked the hollow and freya, Elijah and Hayley would save you. But then plan was not working out as the marcel failed killing the hollow as witches prevented Klaus from being sacrificed.
The two older mikaelsons and hayley arrived at the hut. They all attacked the guards of the hut killing them. Elijah rushed to you, stopping as he took in how in pain you looked. you were on the floor, eyes closed, a stake through you and visibly in pain, you could almost not move and your natural s/c skin was now a pale grey.
‘y/n!’ elijah shouted as he ran to you before being stop by an invisible barrier
‘eli..?’ you asked weakly opening your eyes and rising your head at the sound of his voice
He knelt on the floor to be the closest he could to you
‘I’m here my love, we are going to get you out. We need to break the barrier’ he told you trying to reassure you with a smile that not reached his eyes
‘you need to get out, she could come back any minute’ you tell him worrying for them. You already got your wish to see him one last time before dying, now you can’t risk that the hollow follows her promise to send him too in the afterlife
‘I’m not leaving without you’ he vows, almost offended at you for having suggested that, you know that he is not leaving space for an argument.
‘we must rush then’ you tell him as hope runs in you again, maybe you were really getting out of there
‘freya is working on it’ he reassures you
You tilted your head seeing freya chanting
‘you found me’ you chuckled trying to move closer to him as much as the barrier and the pain allowed you to
‘always’ he smiled back ‘hang on, I will take you out’ he reassures you, every fiber of his body wishing to have you in his arms, safe and well, his eyes glued on you taking in your drenched state, your pajama now bloody and ruined
‘now you understand why I hate sleeping alone’ you replied even in this state never losing an occasion to make a sassy remark, but instead his face falls plagued by guilt
‘I know. I should have never left you, please forgive me’ he begged you, never breaking eye contact from you, he fears that if he does the next time he will turn to look at you, you will be dead
‘eli it’s not your fault.’ You tell him sincerely, as pain pierced through you. You know that the guilt would eat him alive and he would believe is his fault even if it isn’t. ‘in case I don’t make It I need to tell you-’ you said realizing this could be the last chance you have to tell him how much you love him
‘no y/n. you will tell me when you are out, when you are in my embrace again. And this time I will never let you go again. Okay? You need to stop talking and save your strength, my love, please’ he begs you shaking his head not even wanting to hear what you believe to be your dying confession
You nod at him knowing arguing would only cuase him pain
‘where is niki?’ you ask realizing Klaus was not with them. Elijah waited a second considering if to tell you the truth. But he knew you would disapprove the plan. You treated Klaus as your son more than as your best friend, knowing that if you knew that Klaus was getting sacrificed for you you would kill them all yourself.
‘Nicklaus is working on the plan as we speak. don’t worry he is safe. i beg you just hold on’ he lied to you to not worry you, even in this state you worried about the family more than yourself. Elijah never lied to you, but this time he did it to protect you, and in this state as you struggled to keep your eyes open not wanting to look away from him as every second could be the last time you see him you did not detect the lie in his voice.
You let out a cry of pain. it was killing Elijah to see you like this. He felt helpless. He never felt so helpless, so human, seeing the person he loved the most in pain, a heartbeat away from death and not being able to do anything. He could do nothing apart from looking at you, he could not even touch you, comfort you. He just wanted to rush you out of this place or if he couldn’t to at least take your place and be the one to suffer instead. Anything to have you safe.
Freya continued chanting as Hayley guarded the door
‘grab the cure. The barrier is almost done’ said freya to her brother, Elijah nodded reaching for it
Then freya stopped chanting for no apparent reason.
‘freya? What is wrong?’ asked Hayley as Elijah was too busy not being able to tear his eyes from you, the cure ready to be used
Suddenly a wind appeared, knocking the cure out of elijah’s hand and crushing it to the floor ‘no!’ he shouted as he and Hayley rushed towards it.
The hollow entered the hut throwing freya, hayley and elijah towards the wall
The plan was that Klaus would temporary die so the hollow can be sent back in hell while marcel killed her, meanwhile elijah and freya and Hayley would get to you, free you and cure you. But the plan had failed and so Klaus was rushing to you to place your soul in the pendant. It was the only chance for you to survive, as in the weak state you were you could die in the process of getting in the pendant.
Panic went through you, even in that state you worried about elijah, your eyes searching for him in the room as you cried out, you yourself didn’t know if for the pain or worry.
In that moment Klaus entered the door saving Hayley from the hollow, Elijah’s face turned white at the sight of his brother, which presence meant the plain had failed.
‘what happened?’ Elijah asked his brother in worry
‘she knew we were coming’
‘freya!’ he shouted looking at you as you were are your limit as the hollow drained you the grey vein starting to form on your face as your heartbeat slew down. Panic was written all over elijah’s face, a panic you had never seen before, while your face showed only of sorrow and defeat
‘we have no choice. Get y/n into the pendant’ said klaus giving the pendant to freya as he looked at you his heart breaking at the sight
‘sister please!’ shouted Elijah. ‘y/n we are getting you in the pendant hold on ‘ He tried to push past the barrier, punching it with every bit of force he had as he shouted in frustration as the hollow chanted and you struggled to breath, contorting in pain.
‘she is too week’ noted freya
In the last moments of lucidity you turned towards Elijah
‘eli. it’s okay.’ you said knowing this was your end, you give him a smile as he stopped punching the barrier to look at you
‘hurry she is killing her!’ shouted Elijah, freya nodded and grabbed the pendant working her magic
‘y/n, please my love hang on a bit mote, don’t let go, please’ he pleaded you with teary eyes
You wanted to, and you would fight until you could, but the hollow was piercing through you.
‘I can fell y/n but the hollow’s magic is blocking me!’ freya said
‘freya!’ Klaus shouted in pain hurrying his sister to hurry, as he looked at you worry eating him alive, he knew you were moments away from slipping away permanently and he had never been so terrified in his life
‘I love you’ you managed to say looking straight into elijah’s eyes before the last strain of pain pierced through you as you let out a scream ‘no y/n stay awake, I beg you’ he shouted
‘it’s too strong!’ freya cried
At the same time Klaus prompted freya to move as Elijah called your name trying to get your attention
‘elijah!’ you let out a last scream extending your hand trying to reach for him as he banged his fists against the invisible barrier trying to reach you, that is when you turned completely of a dark grey, your head falling down on the floor, your hand with you wedding ring still trying to reach him. he looked at you as your eyes bearing usually a fire became lifeless
‘y/n!’ he screamed, his voice breaking as the barrier fell and the hollow disappeared, the ritual was complete
He didn’t even notice the hollow disappear, everyone falling with the force that the sacrifice had unleashed. He rushed to your side removing the stake from your back taking you in his embrace. The familiar heartbeat he could recognize in a million, the one he was so used to hear next to his, the one he fell asleep next to and woke up to, the one he could recognize even the smallest change, was now gone. In silence he traced your features realization not hitting him, he was still in shock as he looked into your lifeless eyes.
Hayley and Klaus rushed to your side, Klaus touched your arm feeling your skin cold he widened his eyes in horror not able to speak, ‘did it work?’ he managed to ask
everyone turned to look at freya, prompting Elijah to finally speak as hope still pervaded him ‘where is the pendant’ he asked but his sister opened her hand, showing pendant broken as a tear rolled down her eye. elijah shook his head looking at it and then at you
‘no it can’t be’ he said shaking his head and holding your corpse more tightly against himself , his eyes filling with tears as he let out a scream, a scream so inhuman that everyone filched never having heard such despair
‘there has to be a way. She can’t be gone’ he pleaded resting his head against yours as he caressed your cheek as he sobbed
Klaus kneeled down looking at you a tear down his eye ‘elijah listen to me. we will fix the pendant. This is not her end’ he said not knowing himself if it was to convince himself or his brother. Elijah remained silent
‘brother, please, let us bring her home and we will save her’ said Klaus trying to help him up and move you
‘don’t touch her!’ shouted Elijah. klaus took a step back immediately. Hurt in his eyes. He was only trying to help but he knew that his older brother in this state could not understand it. He now saw everyone as a threat to take you away from him.
‘brother, to find a solution we need to go home. please’ klaus pleaded Elijah, as more tears fell down his cheek
Elijah traced your features, a million thoughts of anger pain and loss and memory passing through his mind. He could do nothing now, he was empty in the inside. The moment you had shouted his name in pain he had died with you. Therefore he nodded and stood up keeping your firmly in his embrace bridal style, he did not leave you for a second not tearing his eye away from you lifeless face as he brought you to the car, and then as he brought you home. the rest of the family not dared to speak following you as all of them shed silent tears.

He knelt on the floor to be the closest he could to you
‘I’m here my love, we are going to get you out. We need to break the barrier’ he told you trying to reassure you with a smile that not reached his eyes
‘you need to get out, she could come back any minute’ you tell him worrying for them. You already got your wish to see him one last time before dying, now you can’t risk that the hollow follows her promise to send him too in the afterlife
‘I’m not leaving without you’ he vows, almost offended at you for having suggested that, you know that he is not leaving space for an argument.
‘we must rush then’ you tell him as hope runs in you again, maybe you were really getting out of there
‘freya is working on it’ he reassures you
You tilted your head seeing freya chanting
‘you found me’ you chuckled trying to move closer to him as much as the barrier and the pain allowed you to
‘always’ he smiled back ‘hang on, I will take you out’ he reassures you, every fiber of his body wishing to have you in his arms, safe and well, his eyes glued on you taking in your drenched state, your pajama now bloody and ruined
‘now you understand why I hate sleeping alone’ you replied even in this state never losing an occasion to make a sassy remark, but instead his face falls plagued by guilt
‘I know. I should have never left you, please forgive me’ he begged you, never breaking eye contact from you, he fears that if he does the next time he will turn to look at you, you will be dead
‘eli it’s not your fault.’ You tell him sincerely, as pain pierced through you. You know that the guilt would eat him alive and he would believe is his fault even if it isn’t. ‘in case I don’t make It I need to tell you-’ you said realizing this could be the last chance you have to tell him how much you love him
‘no y/n. you will tell me when you are out, when you are in my embrace again. And this time I will never let you go again. Okay? You need to stop talking and save your strength, my love, please’ he begs you shaking his head not even wanting to hear what you believe to be your dying confession
You nod at him knowing arguing would only cuase him pain
‘where is niki?’ you ask realizing Klaus was not with them. Elijah waited a second considering if to tell you the truth. But he knew you would disapprove the plan. You treated Klaus as your son more than as your best friend, knowing that if you knew that Klaus was getting sacrificed for you you would kill them all yourself.
‘Nicklaus is working on the plan as we speak. don’t worry he is safe. i beg you just hold on’ he lied to you to not worry you, even in this state you worried about the family more than yourself. Elijah never lied to you, but this time he did it to protect you, and in this state as you struggled to keep your eyes open not wanting to look away from him as every second could be the last time you see him you did not detect the lie in his voice.
You let out a cry of pain. it was killing Elijah to see you like this. He felt helpless. He never felt so helpless, so human, seeing the person he loved the most in pain, a heartbeat away from death and not being able to do anything. He could do nothing apart from looking at you, he could not even touch you, comfort you. He just wanted to rush you out of this place or if he couldn’t to at least take your place and be the one to suffer instead. Anything to have you safe.
Freya continued chanting as Hayley guarded the door
‘grab the cure. The barrier is almost done’ said freya to her brother, Elijah nodded reaching for it
Then freya stopped chanting for no apparent reason.
‘freya? What is wrong?’ asked Hayley as Elijah was too busy not being able to tear his eyes from you, the cure ready to be used
Suddenly a wind appeared, knocking the cure out of elijah’s hand and crushing it to the floor ‘no!’ he shouted as he and Hayley rushed towards it.
The hollow entered the hut throwing freya, hayley and elijah towards the wall
The plan was that Klaus would temporary die so the hollow can be sent back in hell while marcel killed her, meanwhile elijah and freya and Hayley would get to you, free you and cure you. But the plan had failed and so Klaus was rushing to you to place your soul in the pendant. It was the only chance for you to survive, as in the weak state you were you could die in the process of getting in the pendant.
Panic went through you, even in that state you worried about elijah, your eyes searching for him in the room as you cried out, you yourself didn’t know if for the pain or worry.
In that moment Klaus entered the door saving Hayley from the hollow, Elijah’s face turned white at the sight of his brother, which presence meant the plain had failed.
‘what happened?’ Elijah asked his brother in worry
‘she knew we were coming’
‘freya!’ he shouted looking at you as you were are your limit as the hollow drained you the grey vein starting to form on your face as your heartbeat slew down. Panic was written all over elijah’s face, a panic you had never seen before, while your face showed only of sorrow and defeat
‘we have no choice. Get y/n into the pendant’ said klaus giving the pendant to freya as he looked at you his heart breaking at the sight
‘sister please!’ shouted Elijah. ‘y/n we are getting you in the pendant hold on ‘ He tried to push past the barrier, punching it with every bit of force he had as he shouted in frustration as the hollow chanted and you struggled to breath, contorting in pain.
‘she is too week’ noted freya
In the last moments of lucidity you turned towards Elijah
‘eli. it’s okay.’ you said knowing this was your end, you give him a smile as he stopped punching the barrier to look at you
‘hurry she is killing her!’ shouted Elijah, freya nodded and grabbed the pendant working her magic
‘y/n, please my love hang on a bit mote, don’t let go, please’ he pleaded you with teary eyes
You wanted to, and you would fight until you could, but the hollow was piercing through you.
‘I can fell y/n but the hollow’s magic is blocking me!’ freya said
‘freya!’ Klaus shouted in pain hurrying his sister to hurry, as he looked at you worry eating him alive, he knew you were moments away from slipping away permanently and he had never been so terrified in his life
‘I love you’ you managed to say looking straight into elijah’s eyes before the last strain of pain pierced through you as you let out a scream ‘no y/n stay awake, I beg you’ he shouted
‘it’s too strong!’ freya cried
At the same time Klaus prompted freya to move as Elijah called your name trying to get your attention
‘elijah!’ you let out a last scream extending your hand trying to reach for him as he banged his fists against the invisible barrier trying to reach you, that is when you turned completely of a dark grey, your head falling down on the floor, your hand with you wedding ring still trying to reach him. he looked at you as your eyes bearing usually a fire became lifeless
‘y/n!’ he screamed, his voice breaking as the barrier fell and the hollow disappeared, the ritual was complete
He didn’t even notice the hollow disappear, everyone falling with the force that the sacrifice had unleashed. He rushed to your side removing the stake from your back taking you in his embrace. The familiar heartbeat he could recognize in a million, the one he was so used to hear next to his, the one he fell asleep next to and woke up to, the one he could recognize even the smallest change, was now gone. In silence he traced your features realization not hitting him, he was still in shock as he looked into your lifeless eyes.
Hayley and Klaus rushed to your side, Klaus touched your arm feeling your skin cold he widened his eyes in horror not able to speak, ‘did it work?’ he managed to ask
everyone turned to look at freya, prompting Elijah to finally speak as hope still pervaded him ‘where is the pendant’ he asked but his sister opened her hand, showing pendant broken as a tear rolled down her eye. elijah shook his head looking at it and then at you
‘no it can’t be’ he said shaking his head and holding your corpse more tightly against himself , his eyes filling with tears as he let out a scream, a scream so inhuman that everyone filched never having heard such despair
‘there has to be a way. She can’t be gone’ he pleaded resting his head against yours as he caressed your cheek as he sobbed
Klaus kneeled down looking at you a tear down his eye ‘elijah listen to me. we will fix the pendant. This is not her end’ he said not knowing himself if it was to convince himself or his brother. Elijah remained silent
‘brother, please, let us bring her home and we will save her’ said Klaus trying to help him up and move you
‘don’t touch her!’ shouted Elijah. klaus took a step back immediately. Hurt in his eyes. He was only trying to help but he knew that his older brother in this state could not understand it. He now saw everyone as a threat to take you away from him.
‘brother, to find a solution we need to go home. please’ klaus pleaded Elijah, as more tears fell down his cheek
Elijah traced your features, a million thoughts of anger pain and loss and memory passing through his mind. He could do nothing now, he was empty in the inside. The moment you had shouted his name in pain he had died with you. Therefore he nodded and stood up keeping your firmly in his embrace bridal style, he did not leave you for a second not tearing his eye away from you lifeless face as he brought you to the car, and then as he brought you home. the rest of the family not dared to speak following you as all of them shed silent tears.
rewriting of season 4 episodes 9-11. in this is you who gets taken by the hollow not him. does not follow completely the same the episodes. includes also your platonic relationship with the others and flashbacks of new scenes of you and elijah in the centuries. first two parts follow the show closely.
Part 2 The Rescue - summary:
elijah deals with you being kidnapped. the family and elijah come rescue you
genre: angst and fluff (flashbacks) with happy ending
Notes:
The first two parts are mostly rewrite of the episode featuring you and I added some scenes. the rest is my interpretation of what the storyline could be with you, featuring again heavy canon rewritten but mostly made up scenes
Warning: temporary character de4th but with happy ending, canon violence/threats, grief, lots of angst, fluff, main character death and resurrection
Sorry for the grammatical errors. I’m new at writing so feedback is appreciated. Thank you for reading. do not translate or appropriate my work
I rewatched season 4 a few months ago and now finally managed to finish this series. A few days ago i found the story ‘Hollowed Trap’ by the incredible talented @xxwritemeastoryxx and realised that my part 1 and 2 of the story are similar (as follow the episode and both use dialogue from the show) to their ‘Hollowed Trap’ still i would like to ankoweldge it having them published it before. They are a terrific writer and all their stories are amazing check them out.
Freya and Vincent were trying to find a solution, failing to find a spell or a dark object in which to trap the hollow.
‘you know. it’s funny how five years ago we were in the same position and you decided to sacrifice Davina. Is y/n’s life just more worth?’ Vincent accused the witch
‘y/n is my sister-in-law. Okay? And I regret what I did to Davina every single day’
‘y/n is probably the only mikaelson I can tolerate, I thought she was better then all of you, more caring, less of a killing spree, but then when it came to protect your family, guilt or no she did everything to save you not caring about the others. So she is just as rotten at the rest of you and I think we are just wasting our time trying to find a loophole when her death is inevitable’
‘whatever you think I’m not giving up. Her death will break this family, especially Klaus. And I can’t even think of what it will do to elijah’ freya stated her own grief rising
‘is it really giving up though freya? y/n is a thousand years old. How many lifetimes are going to be enough? She lived 20 times the lifespan of the people she fed on. And Elijah? They have been together 10-20 lifetimes when most of use lose who we love in a few decades’
‘I get it okay? You hate us. But that for me is not enough to let my sister-in-law die to stop some monster that has nothing to do with her’
‘you as the rest of them don’t get it! There’s no other choice, no option. You are the oldest family in the world you have seen empires rise and fall everything dies !’ he shouted
‘not y/n. not today, okay? We already lost my brother finn- Wait. I’ve find the solution!’ freya exclaimed
-.-.-.
Elijah always drank from a glass, it was a matter of composure but right now maybe for the first time in a millennium he was drinking straight from the bottle of liquor, now empty when previously was untouched.
klaus stopped at the door of elijah’s study, looking at his big brother, pain written all over his feature not only at the thought of his sister-in-law, his best friend, in danger but at the sight of his brother in pain.
elijah hears Klaus at the door frame ‘you know she is afraid of the sleeping alone in the dark?’ he says speaking about you
Klaus shakes his head entering the room
‘It reminds her still of when she was little and the night her family was killed and she was brought by mikeal in our house, little she knew at the time that it had been him’
‘when we were human and still children more than teenagers one night I couldn’t sleep and as I paced around in the tent we then called house I saw her. she was so afraid of the dark she could not sleep but father had taken away her candle, saying she was too old for a light in the dark. so I told her I would stay there with her until she fell asleep if she wanted to. You should have seen her eyes, she really thought I could protect her. after that night as of her request i would sneak in and hold her until she fell asleep, it was there i started to realize that i loved her’ he continues, giving his brother only his shoulder as he looks in the fireplace
‘you never told me this’ said Klaus, eyes watery as he steps further in the room
‘it was our secret. but that is not the point. when i asked her to marry me i promised her she would not need to spend another night fearing the dark. Because I would be there, always and forever until the end of time, I would hold her and protect her from the night. No one would get her again, not until I was there’ he says anger rising in him
‘I failed my own wedding vows, niklaus, i left her alone to give marcel that devilish dagger’ he stands up and looks at klaus starting to loose his classical calm
‘and exactly what she feared happened. she was taken in the night and now she is somewhere, a stake in her back fighting for her life’ he throws the glass that shatters colliding with the wall, Klaus flinches
Elijah voice rises still with composure although his body language is all but composed ‘I gave her my word and broke it, what kind of man am i? What kind of husband am I?’ he said voice trembling
‘brother..’ says klaus looking down, elijah’s face contorts in pain at the thought of you in pain
‘I can’t loose her Niklaus, you might think that after 1000 year it could be time, that I would be ready to let go. but it isn’t. i love her more than when we were human if that even possible, before the little innocence was taken from us. I can’t live without her, i won’t’ he says voice breaking as a tear rolls down his eye,
klaus comes nearer tears treating to fall from his eyes too, he places a reassuring hand on Elijah’s neck, looking him in the eyes ‘I assure you brother that we will bring her home, and we will make pay who tried to take her from us. from you’ he vows
Elijah hugs Klaus for a few moments trying to suppress the cry that is threatening to fall
‘come, freya has some news’ he tells him as elijah nods before exiting the room with him
As they walk, Klaus keeps his hand on Elijah’s shoulder to comfort him, when in the corridor they are met by little Hope. Hope is a child but can see clearly that both her father and uncle are completely devastated.
‘dad? Uncle Elijah?’ hope asks them
‘hope’ Elijah says trying to find his composure and give his niece a smile while Klaus says ‘sweety. I didn’t see you there’
Hope looks at them timidly ‘aunt y/n is sick, isn’t she?’, Elijah does his best to not make his face fall, while Klaus squeezes his brother shoulder before kneeling at his daughter eye level
‘aunt y/n is very sick’ he tells her honestly but tenderly
‘well can we help her?’ she asks, her eyes darting between the two men ‘we are doing everything that we can. I can promise you that’ klaus vows, his words intended also towards Elijah which is staying silent, afraid to speak
‘maybe I can help aunt freya do a spell to make her feel better?’ hope asks hopefully
‘that’s very brave of you’ Elijah tells her before klaus can speak ‘but there is no necessity honey, thank you anyhow for your sweet thought’ Elijah says trying to give her a smile, but the child is seven not stupid. She moves away from her father and stands in front of her uncle, he looks at her uncertain of her next move, but then she hugs him and he reciprocate a single tear falling down his eye
‘she will soon be better I’m sure’ hope states during the hug ‘mom says aunt y/n is the strongest person she has ever met’ Elijah smiles at that, locking eyes with Klaus that is smiling sadly at the picture in front of him
Elijah pats the child’s hair before letting her go, as he looks at her he states, his tone warm, ‘and you mum as always is quite right’
-.-..-.-.
‘Vincent said the ancestors can trap the hollow but an original must die, if y/n is going to one way or another we can take her sacrifice and I can try place her soul in a pendant’ explained freya to Klaus, elijah and hayley, herself not keen of the idea
‘what do you mean with try sister’ asked Elijah even less keen of the idea, his fingertips tapping the table
‘look it won’t be easy, we need to find her and it will need all of my magic. And y/n has been poisoned for some time. there is…. There is a chance she won’t survive the process’ freya says defeated as Hayley‘s eyes tear up.
klaus paced around the room in silence as elijah’s knuckles turned white by how much strength he was putting in holding the door, his fingers leaving a trace on the doorframe because of the pressure. He was thinking of a better solution, but he was not finding one, still the idea of risking your life was something beyond comprehension for him
‘but I would survive’ said Klaus an idea coming to his mind as elijah’s eyes widened at Klaus’s idea
‘klaus’ said freya warning him
‘you can channel my death to imprison the hollow before she kills y/n. yes I will be in the pendant and the rest of you can find her, cure her and bring her home’ he said convinced
‘niklaus, I’m not trading your life for y/n’s’ elijah said stepping from the door closer to his brother, his tone leaving no space for argument
‘this is insane’ said Hayley agreeing
‘that evil wench if not killed will come for hope’ said Klaus as the other shacked their heads
‘sacrifice me, save y/n and kill the hollow. this is the only way’ klaus said convinced to an extent that most people in the room had never seen on him, he was not thinking about it twice. The two most important people of his life, his daughter and his best friend life were at stakes and if he could save them damn the risk.
‘nikalus I can’t ask you to die even if temporary. It should be me, she is my wife and she would kick us both for even considering it’ Elijah told him, as much as he knew this plan was good he could not risk losing also his little brother, the person he raised, and which redemption was his life purpose. If someone should be sacrificed for you it should be himself. Elijah was your husband, he would die for you in heartbeat, and consider it his honor and joy. You meant to him more than life, as you were his life.
‘we don’t have time to debate this. you are not asking elijah, I’m offering. y/n is my best friend and you know how much I care for her. You go save her, she needs you. It’s going to be okay.’ Klaus told him squeezing Elijah’s shoulder
Elijah thought about it for a moment, his eyes on the floor, then he raised his gaze, his eyes watery and nodded, Klaus let out a breath he did not know he was holding and reciprocated the hug when elijah hugged him tight
‘thank you niklaus, you have my gratitude’ he said holding the younger’s neck as he spoke
‘my pleasure. And also I can’t wait to brag to y/n how I saved her from now to eternity’ said Klaus smirking ‘work your magic sister’ he replied
none of them liked the plan but it was the best they could do, he gave the pendant to freya who took it reluctantly
–.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Klaus was to be sacrificed by Vincent as marcel tricked the hollow and freya, Elijah and Hayley would save you. But then plan was not working out as the marcel failed killing the hollow as witches prevented Klaus from being sacrificed.
The two older mikaelsons and hayley arrived at the hut. They all attacked the guards of the hut killing them. Elijah rushed to you, stopping as he took in how in pain you looked. you were on the floor, eyes closed, a stake through you and visibly in pain, you could almost not move and your natural s/c skin was now a pale grey.
‘y/n!’ elijah shouted as he ran to you before being stop by an invisible barrier
‘eli..?’ you asked weakly opening your eyes and rising your head at the sound of his voice
He knelt on the floor to be the closest he could to you
‘I’m here my love, we are going to get you out. We need to break the barrier’ he told you trying to reassure you with a smile that not reached his eyes
‘you need to get out, she could come back any minute’ you tell him worrying for them. You already got your wish to see him one last time before dying, now you can’t risk that the hollow follows her promise to send him too in the afterlife
‘I’m not leaving without you’ he vows, almost offended at you for having suggested that, you know that he is not leaving space for an argument.
‘we must rush then’ you tell him as hope runs in you again, maybe you were really getting out of there
‘freya is working on it’ he reassures you
You tilted your head seeing freya chanting
‘you found me’ you chuckled trying to move closer to him as much as the barrier and the pain allowed you to
‘always’ he smiled back ‘hang on, I will take you out’ he reassures you, every fiber of his body wishing to have you in his arms, safe and well, his eyes glued on you taking in your drenched state, your pajama now bloody and ruined

Je t'aime, ma douce âme sœur - I love you, my sweet soulmate
Je t'aime aussi, bien-aimé - I love you too, beloved
It was a little past midnight when Y/N’s water broke waking both Y/N and Elijah as Davina had came to help Vincent with the birth of Elijah’s child. Finn and Kol watched the noble vampire pace hearing Y/N in pain as she was in labor and Elijah wanted to comfort her. It was quite after nine hours of labor and Elijah was finally allow to see his soulmate, Y/N looked tired and sweaty as she held a baby…. his son as it made his heart flutter.
“Eli, meet Emilio….your son.” Y/N said softly smiling watching Elijah gently taking hold of the new born boy softly rubbing his round cheek as he yawned looking up at his father. Emilio may have Elijah’s warm eyes but Elijah found it quiet adorable that Emilio had Y/N’s cute round face.
“He is a cute baby, elskan.” Elijah says moving next to Y/N who smiled weakly laying her head on his shoulder feeling Elijah kiss her head before falling asleep. It happened in the morning that Y/N fell ill as Finn watched over his new born nephew while Davina and Vincent were trying to find out what was wrong Elijah held her hand rubbing her forehead with his thumb hating how weak she looked.
“The link is broken.”
“Fix it Vincent.” Elijah said looking at the witch as Y/N’s breathing got shallow as Davina and Vincent looked at one another as Kol stepped forward knowing Elijah will not like the answer.
“It is going to take great magic to fix it, brother….”
“Whatever you need of me, Kol. I will do it, please do not allow her to die.” Elijah said looking at his brother sounding broken as Kol swallowed nodding as he moved to help the witches.
“Eli….if I don’t make it….please adore Emilio for me….it was an honor to be loved by you. Je t'aime, ma douce âme sœur.”
“Je t'aime aussi, bien-aimé.” Elijah whispered feeling Y/N’s hand go limp as her heart slowed tears fell from Elijah’s eyes as in the next room Camille covered her mouth. Davina hugged Kol while Finn hushed Emilio and Vincent looked down when they heard Elijah let out a heartbroken cry.
It took Klaus by surprise when out of nowhere Elijah slammed him against a wall with his hand in the hybrid’s chest. It the attention of Rebekah and Freya as they ran down to see an angry Elijah squeezing the hybrid’s heart.
“Elijah!” Rebekah shouted making the noble vampire throw Klaus as he growled looking right at Freya making Rebekah move in front of their sister.
“You killed her.”
“Oh please Elijah, she was just was a human that you shared a soul link with.” Klaus said getting up as Elijah looked at him with a dark look growling lowly. The three froze seeing that Elijah had opened his red door.
“No she wasn’t! I let her in, I told her everything about myself. Told her things that not even you know about Klaus.” Elijah said lowly as Klaus’s eyes flashed with hurt as no matter how angry Elijah got with him. Elijah always called him by his birth name and to hear him call the hybrid Klaus….hurt.
“And you, Rebekah, how dare you stand beside the monster that had always ruined your love life. Freya, I can not believe you allow yourself to get on his level. Klaus, I am no longer your brother but an enemy. I do not want you anywhere near my son or our home.”
“Elijah….what are…”
“I don’t want to hear your apologies, excuses. The only thing that is keeping me from killing you, Klaus is Hope and I refuse to be like our father so consider me no longer family.” Elijah says walking out passing Hayley as she moved to stop him but saw the rage in his eyes and took a step back watching Elijah leave.
“How….how is he, Finn?” Freya asked softly as it had been the first time in a month since she seen her brothers as Finn refused to be with his siblings choosing to stay with Elijah helping him with Emilio. Finn looked over at Elijah seeing him reading to the month old who squealed happily whenever Elijah would make silly voices as he read to his son.
“Doing well. He is still very angry….he is hurting Freya.”
“And you don’t think Hayley isn’t?! She loved Elijah and he abandoned her.” Freya whispered yelled looking over seeing her nephew and how much the boy looked like his mother, a gorgeous light bronze baby with dark curls and had Elijah’s warm mocha eyes.
“You killed his soulmate.”
The Nine covens were angry as the Ancestors had cut off the flow of magic as punishment for not protecting the soul link enough so in turn the covens cut Hope and Freya from their covens. Elijah was no where near forgiving his siblings as this oddly brought Elijah closer to Kol and Finn as Emilio loved his uncles as the month old was with at lest one of them always.
Klaus was angry and went to see Vincent with Hope to see Elijah with Emilio on his arm sucking on his pacifier playing with Elijah’s tie. Elijah had came over to Vincent’s when the witch called saying he had a few children books for the baby boy.
“Your witches seem to believe they can cut my daughter from their covens.” Klaus said as Vincent rolled his eyes as the teen witch waved at her uncle as Elijah gave her a soft smile before Emilio grabbed his attention when the boy whined.
“That is because the Ancestors cut off the magic when you broke Elijah’s soul link.” Vincent tells Klaus giving a children’s book to Elijah as Emilio grabbed it when Elijah showed it to his son. Klaus frowned looking over to Elijah who had been nothing but cold to the hybrid.
“So the witches take it out on Hope?”
“Look Klaus, I don’t control the witches. I have to find away to get the Ancestors to allow the covens to use our magic.” Vincent said as Klaus narrowed his eyes turning to see Hope next to Elijah meeting Emilio, her baby cousin and Klaus tune in on their conversation.
“Are you ever coming home uncle 'Lijah?”
“I don’t think so Hope.” Elijah says watching Emilio grab Hope’s hand squealing as he made small noises. Hope frown as she missed her uncle her but understood that he was angry.
“Okay….mom is doing better…she is dating a guy named Declan, he is a great guy.” Hope tells her uncle as Elijah paused his heart aching at the idea that Hayley got to be happy while he was hurting missing his other half.
“Does your father know?”
“He does….uncle 'Lijah I hope you come home soon.” Hope said as Elijah smiled kissing her forehead before walking out leaving the teen with her father who was hurt that Elijah no longer looked to him.
Caroline and Stefan came to visit with Alaric and the twins as they heard what happen as the magic was also cut off to Bonnie and the girls. While the adults talked, Hope grabbed Lizzie and Josie pulling them into a room.
“I need your help.” Hope tells the witches as they blinked before nodding as Hope had an idea to bring back Elijah’s soul link as she wanted her uncle back but needed help to draw in powerful magic.
