Set In Season 3, episode 11. Stefan threatens to kill Elena, to blackmail Klaus into sending his hybrids away from Mystic Falls. Stefan threatens to drive the car off Wickery Bridge with Elena in it. Klaus finally gives in, and Stefan stops the car. Read the story and review please :)
Elena got out of the car, and whirled around to walk away from Stefan.
"Get back in the car," Stefan shouted after her.
"Stay away from me!" She called back.
"Elena, get in the car,"
She finally spun around. "How could you!" she yelled, "My parents died going over this bridge, I almost died, You knew that. You're the one who saved me,"
"I had to do that to make him believe, alright? Your fear sold it," Stefan replied, his voice emotionless.
"Well, what if he hadn't?"
"He did,"
"Well, what if he hadn't!"
"He did, Elena, he backed down. He has a weakness, If I know his weakness, I can destroy him!"
"And after all this time, that is what matters? Destroying Klaus?"
"Destroying Klaus is all I have left,"
"You had me,"
"I lost you the minute I left town with him, you just hadn't let yourself admit that yet,"
"Is that what you're doing? Trying to make me hate you?"
"I don't really care what you think about me anymore, Elena,"
And with that, he got back into the car and drove away. Elena tried to stop sobbing as she moved towards the railing. She leant over and looked into the water, the water where her parents had died, where she had almost died. Not really aware of what she was doing, she climbed over the railing and stood on the edge.
"I wouldn't advise that, love." A smooth voice, from behind.
Klaus. Elena closed her eyes and tried to control her breathing.
"He was going to kill me, he was actually going to kill me. Just to get revenge against you."
She heard Klaus sigh, as he moved towards where she was standing.
"I know, love. But if you jump, I'll just have to go in after you, and well, this jacket is new."
Elena smiled despite herself. She turned around and Klaus offered her a hand, as she climbed back over the railing. When she was back on the bridge, Klaus turned and started to walk away. When Elena didn't move, he turned and gestured for her to follow.
"Come. We're leaving." He said.
"Where?"
"It's too dangerous for you here. If Stefan keeps trying to kill you every time he wants something from me, I'll never be able to make any hybrids. So we're leaving. Now."
"I'm not going anywhere with you! In case you've forgotten, you tried to kill me too."
"Don't make this any harder than it has to be, love."
Before Elena could react, Klaus had grabbed her and had his hand clamped over her mouth. She struggled, but she was no match for the vampire.
He then slowly applied pressure to a point on her neck, until her whole world went black.

Damon scanned the Grill until he found who he was looking for, sitting at the bar. He walked over and shoved Stefan. Stefan stumbled back, taken by surprise.
"What did you do?" Damon snarled. "We could have dealt with the hybrids. You threatened Elena's life!"
Stefan rolled his eyes. "I wouldn't have killed her, brother. You have to know that. She has to know that."
"Well I wouldn't know. She's not picking up her phone."
Stefan started to show some signs of worry at this point. "Let me try." He said, taking out his phone.
"Yes, that'll work. She won't pick up for me, but of course she'll answer you. Seeing as you tried to kill her less than an hour ago." Damon replied sarcastically.
Stefan rang her anyway, but like Damon said, she didn't pick up. He rang Klaus next.
"Ah, Stefan. I've bee awaiting your call. Missing something?"
"Where is she, Klaus?"
"Don't worry, she's fine. I decided to follow through, and actually get her out of Mystic Falls. You can threaten to kill some other human now." Klaus replied, sounding amused.
Damon whipped the phone out of Stefan's hand. "We'll come after her, Klaus, with everything we've got." He snarled into the mobile.
"We'll see." Klaus ended the call.
Stefan put on his jacket, and the brothers turned to leave.
"Going somewhere?" The blonde at the bar asked.
"Rebekah."
She smiled and inclined her head. At that moment, everyone in the Grill stood up, simultaneously.
"Who are they, Rebekah?" Stefan asked.
"Oh, just a few friends of mine. Mostly vampires, some humans." She laughed. "Anyway, come along. We're going now."
"Where?"
"Now that Klaus has taken Elena away, I have you two, all to myself. You're never going to fall in love with me, while you remember Elena. So I'm going to help in that matter. I'll bleed you two, until all the vervain is gone, then I'm going to compel you to love me." Rebekah smiled wickedly.
"Isn't that kind of sad?" Damon asked, grinning. "Wouldn't it be…?"
Before he could finish the sentence, Rebekah flew at him, and snapped his neck. He slumped to the ground.
"Never antagonize an Original." She nodded to the nearest vampire. "He'll wake up soon. Get him back to the house, before that happens." She then turned to Stefan.
He instinctively crouched down, snarling. Rebekah smiled. "I admire you for trying to fight, but you're simply outnumbered here. Just come the easy way."
Before Stefan could reply, two vampires flew at him. He turned to fight, and Rebekah leaped towards him. "We'll be together again soon." She said, softly. Then she snapped his neck.

Klaus looked at Elena, who still hadn't woken up yet. She looked so much like Tatia. He reached out to brush a hair from her face, but she woke up at that moment. She leaped back away from him, and pushed his hand away. Klaus smiled, she had a lot more fire than Tatia.
Elena glared at him. "Let me go! I'm not going anywhere with you."
"Oh, but you are. Kol hasn't hunted for a while, but he just made a new friend. I think his name was Jeremy?"
Elena gasped. "Don't you dare touch Jeremy!"
"Oh I won't. But Kol is eager for some blood." Klaus grinned, knowing he had her.
Elena stood up, giving in. "You're a monster!" She spat at him.
"Oh, excuse me for trying to make a few hybrids, so I'm not alone in this world."
"You don't have to be alone! You could have a real family!"
"Who would love me, Elena?" Klaus snarled. "After all, I'm a monster." He said, sarcastically.
During the argument, Klaus had moved closer to Elena. He was now right in front of her.
"People could love you, if you just let down your guard. You're so scared of anyone loving you, that you have to try and make everyone hate you! But if you just let people see the real you…"
"Kiss me."
Elena was stunned. She couldn't say anything. He moved closer, and she turned her head away.
"No! Just a few weeks ago, you were trying to kill me!"
Klaus looked down at her necklace. Before she could move, he ripped the necklace from her.
"Kiss me." He ordered again. With no vervain protecting her, Elena was helpless.
She felt Klaus slide his arms around her waist and she was only dimly aware of her hands wrapping around his neck. He leaned closer, and covered her mouth with his. As he deepened the kiss, she shivered in delight, and ran her hands through his hair. She knew she was supposed to remember someone, but all she could feel was her heart fluttering wildly. Then he pulled away, and the kiss was over as quickly as it began. Klaus turned and walked away. He paused and tossed her the necklace.
"Get some rest. We're leaving soon." Then he walked away without even looking at her. He stormed out the door, and slammed the door, leaving Elena wondering what had just happened. She felt guilty, but she told herself there was no reason to. Klaus had compelled her to kiss him, she shouldn't feel guilty. She didn't betray Damon or Stefan.
As she stood up and fastened her necklace, she suddenly knew why she felt guilty. Not because Klaus had forced her to kiss him, it was because she had actually liked it…
"Dammit." said Elena.

Damon opened his eyes groggily. He turned to see Stefan chained in a chair. Rebekah stood in the doorway of the room, holding a mobile in her hand.
"Awake? Good. Niklaus wants to talk to you."
She threw the phone at him, and he caught it.
"Damon? Go somewhere where you won't be overheard." Klaus's voice in his ear.
Rebekah had disappeared, and Stefan wasn't awake yet. Damon shut the door to the room, and moved to the corner.
"What do you want Klaus? Your psycho sister has got us locked up."
He heard Klaus chuckling. "Ah, Rebekah. Anyway, I'm a reasonable man. And so, I'm willing to negotiate. I will return Elena to you, but will come back to Mystic Falls occasionally to use her blood."
"Seriously? You'll return her? What has Elena done, to make you want to get rid of her already?"
Klaus said nothing.
"So you'll give her back? Just like that?"
"I said I was reasonable, not stupid." Klaus replied, sounding amused. "I'll return her on one condition."
"And what's that?"
"I want you to kill Stefan Salvatore, I want you to kill your brother."
