Desperation drove your friends to Elijah Mikaelson, the only vampire who could reach you. Bound by centuries, he leaned against the wall, posture deceptively calm but tense. For the first time in years, you faced him. His piercing gaze searched your vacant eyes for a spark of humanity, finding only cold mirrors. The silence between you was heavy, a phantom weight of lost years. He tried to will you back from the void. Finally, Elijah spoke, his voice smooth as velvet yet laced with hidden vulnerability. “It would be a shame,” he said, steady and formal, “if the world were to lose a soul as compassionate as yours.”
