Emptiness

AN: Hey, this is my first fanfic, so please be nice. It's a Elijah/Elena fic, so don't kill me.

Summary; Elijah's thoughts on Elena as he speeds off with his brother.

Elijah POV;

She probably hates me…I thought, dodging vines and limbs as I followed my brother farther and farther away from the woman who had me wrapped around her finger with out noticing. Elena... Gosh, just thinking about her name made my mind go mad with guilt. I had failed her. She asked me to protect her family and friends, and I gave her my word…

It's not your fault! A voice inside my head was screaming at me. It was that inexperienced child…the eldest Salvatore…He was the one who went against Klaus. I shook my head at his ignorance, his attempts to make sure the doppelganger was safe proved his stupidity.

My thoughts once again drifted to her, Elena. She and Katerina showed many similarities appearance-wise, obviously. But that was not what intrigued me. Her smile was kind and caring, even as she listened to me tell her about my family… No! do NOT go there! She is human, you are a vampire…an original. Love is weakness, love is weakness, love is…

I trailed off as my mind wandered to when I had called her bluff. I wanted nothing more than to take her far away and protect her with every ounce of my being. But of course, I could not. Not while my brother was after her. Not while both Salvatores were hovering over her like fog over a city.

My train of thought was abruptly broken as our journey came to a stop, my brother and I standing in front of a decaying old farm house.

"..here we go…"

Elena POV;

How COULD he? I sat on my bed after Jenna, Jules', and John's memorial service, digesting the information Stefan and Bonnie had told me about Elijah's betrayal. I sigh, running a hand through my hair. I hope he knows what he's doing…

AN; and that's it. comment, review, anything! Tell me whether to continue or not please!
