She stood by her desk looking at the original sitting before her on the window seat.
Elena: Why are you here?
Elijah: We have a long overdue chat.
Elena: Didn't realize we had an appointment.
She said sarcastically causing him to sit up with an raised brow.
Elena: Sorry.
Elijah: Sorry for the vervain bomb or the comment?
Suddenly her feet looked more interesting.
Elena: Both.
She sighed.
Elena: Why did you stop those vampires from taking me to Klaus.
Elijah: Because I didn't want you to be taken. Klaus is the most feared and hated of the Originals, but those that fear him are desperate for his approval. If word gets out that the doppelgänger exists, there'll be a line of vampires eager to take you to him and I can't have that.
Elena: Isn't that exactly what you're trying to do?
Elijah: Let's just say that my goal is not to break the curse.
Elena: So, what is your goal?
Elijah: Klaus's obsession has made him paranoid. He's a recluse. He trusts only those in his immediate circle.
Elena: Like you?
Elijah: Not anymore.
He slowly shook his head.
Elena: You don't know where he is, do you?
She frowned at his silence and looked up. This should be fun, waiting for someone who wants to kill you.
Elena: Great. I'm bait. What else is there, huh? What do you need me to do?
She took a step towards him with a hand on her hip. Who does Elijah think he is? She took an immediate step back when he stood up and took a step towards her. She took her hand off her hip.
Elijah: I'm using you to draw him out. In order to that I need you to stay put and stop trying to get yourself killed. I'm here and I'm prepared to offer you a deal.
Elena: What kind of deal?
Elijah: Do nothing.
She raised an eyebrow. Nothing? Really?
Elijah: Do nothing, live your life, stop fighting and then, when the time is right, you and I shall draw out Klaus together and I shall make sure your friends remain unharmed.
Elena: And then what?
Elijah: Then I kill him.
Elena: Just like that?
Elijah: Just like that. I'm a man of my word, Elena. I make a deal, I keep a deal.
Elena: How are you gonna be able to keep everybody safe?
Elijah: I notice you have a friend; Bonnie, is it? She seems to possess the gift of magic. I have friends with similar gifts.
Elena: You know witches.
He put a hand in his pocket.
Elijah: Together, we can protect everybody that matters to you. So, do we have a deal?
He slowly walked toward her. If he wants to make a deal, she's going to take advantage of it.
Elena: I need you to do one more thing for me.
He raised an brow.
Elijah: We're negotiating now?
Elena: I want you to free Stefan from the tomb.
He closed the distance between them.
Elijah: I'll do it.
She closed her eyes and sighed. He rubbed his hands on her arms.
Elijah: But not yet.
Elena: What are you doing?
She breathed. Looking at him a little frighten.
Elijah: You know, Elena...
He turned her around and pressed her against his front. She breathing became ragged.
Elijah: Since I met you, you managed to throw a vervain bomb at me, now you think you can talk to me anyway you like. I think you need to be taught lessen, don't you?
He leaned down and started kissing her neck. Her eyes widen with alert.
Elena: No, no, no, I-I'm sorry.
She stuttered. He smirked against her skin. Seconds later he sunk his fangs in her. She let out a yelp. He pulled back a little and licked the wound.
Elena: Why did you do that?
Elijah: It's just a little insurance policy.
She frowned.
Elena: Insurance policy?
Elijah: I don't trust you enough to not try not and get yourself in harms way so I marked you.
Elena: Marked me? Why?
She raised her voice to which he tighten his grip around her waist.
Elijah: This mark means we're bonded forever. It lets other vampires know your mine and your not to be messed with.
Elena: So it's to warn other vamps off.
She relaxed against him, thinking that's all he was going to do.
Elijah: Among other things, yes.
Elena: What are the other things?
Elijah: Well, Elena, since your human it's different for you. My blood runs through you, so if you die, you turn. You'll gain vampire abilities without the immortally, it also means you will have to turn at some point.
She frowned.
Elena: So I'll get a vampire face and fangs before I turn. Great.
He pushed her against the desk causing her to close her eyes.
Elijah: Watch your tone when your talking to me.
He whispered in her hear.
Elena: Yes master.
She mumbled to herself. He smirked liking her choice of words.
Elijah: No, you won't. Everything but that. Not until you turn. Now wear this.
He placed a necklace around her neck, it was an silver 'E'. She held it and smiled looking at it through the mirror.
Elena: It's beautiful, Elijah. Thank you...Why?
Elijah: This necklace has the power to protect you from harm.
With that he tore the one Stefan gave her off causing her to frown as he threw it.
Elena: I need that!
Elijah: Not anymore. This mark also gave you the ability not to be compelled. You also can compel vampires, not just humans. I'm also the only one who can compel you and take this necklace off.
She frowned and shook her head.
Elena: You had it spelled...Compel vampires?
Elijah: Yes, a spell that cannot be undone. Something only an original can do. Perks of being marked by an original vampire. Your the only one to ever be marked by an original.
He looked her in the eyes through the mirror.
Elena: Wow.
Elijah: Also through this mark, if need be I can find you wherever you are, same with you if you ever need to find me.
He started kissing the other side of her neck causing her heart to start racing.
Elena: What are you doing now?
She saw his eyes darken with lust.
Elijah: You still need to learn a lesson.
She closed her eyes tightly.
Elena: Why?
Her voice uneven, cursing herself when she smelled her arousal.
Elijah: Actions have consequences, Elena.
