I LIKE THE WAY YOU DREAM
Elijah sat in bed journaling the days events there wasn't anything particular to mention but he wanted to log it anyway and he didn't really have alot of time to himself so he tried to take the opportunity when ever possible. He scribbled some and then closed the book.
He thought about Klaus, he Thought about Haley, he thought about what plans they were gonna have to make for tomorrow. He found himself drifting and he sighed. He laid down in bed and closed his eyes. He hadn't planed to sleep too much because Klaus might or Haley might need him but the more he laid there the harder he slept. It wasn't too long after that that he started, dreaming.
He stood in a dark alley way in the city. There was no people, there was no sound except the wind. There was a lamp post not too far from him and a figure stood under it. In the dim light Elijah could see they were a man, but their features were hard to make out. Elijah tilted his head and took a step forward and the figure, stepped with him only with the opposite foot.
Elijah stopped. He tried to make out what this person looked like but even with his enhanced sight it was hard to discern. He took another step and the man followed. Elijah kept walking forward and so did the man until they were face to face. Elijah's eyes widened as his vision finally cleared.
He was staring at himself, a copy, in a black suit. Elijah looked him up and down and saw that he had claws, his eyes snapped back up to meet the strangers. "Who are you?"
The man growled and bared his fangs at Elijah. This was not a normal vampire. There were three sets of fangs, and the creatures eyes glowed red. For the first time, in centuries, Elijah felt afraid. He dashed down the alley and got caught by the back of the neck. Claws dug into his skin.
"Hello Elijah" The Monster growled. Elijah wanted to struggle but with the claws in his neck he knew that if moved he'd get his flesh torn out.
"Let me go" Elijah strained.
"You sure you want me to do that?" The copy said.
"Let, me, go!"
The creature then flung Elijah into the wall next to them with such force it broke and bricks came tumbling around Elijah. Elijah covered his head.
"Elijah" said a voice that sounded, like Klaus.
He looked up and saw, Klaus? Another copy?
The other Klaus walked up to him and crouched down. "Tsk tsk tsk" your a mess, let me help you up"
The copy of Klaus pulled Elijah to his feet and dusted him off "There, see? no harm done, Brother?"
The copy of Elijah walked to the hole he made and stood there.
"Yes Brother"
"Would you see to Klaus? He's screaming for attention in the basement might you go and, help, him?"
The copy of Elijah stepped passed Elijah and the other Klaus
"What did you do to Klaus!" Elijah said now frantic
"Shhh dont get upset, he's just thinking things over, you and I should talk"
Elijah glared "Give me back my brother! Don't go near him!" Elijah dashed at the copy of himself and he got grabbed by the throat and thrown onto the ground. Elijah choked and struggled.
"Easy Elijah, my Brother's quite strong I wouldn't want you to lose your head"
Elijah struggled more trying everything he could to get up. The copy of him growled and then dash bit into Elijah's neck.
"KLAUS!" Elijah screamed, he screamed himself awake. He sat up in bed panting and checking his neck. What, just, happened?
