A/N :

Nope I don't own TVD... but then you knew that...

This story was inspired by a dream I had, and is ever so slightly inspired by a story line from the British TV series "Misfits".

Elena is a bit OCC, she has a bit more of a sarcastic sense of humor (just a bit... I won't go over board I promise). Bonnie is OCC, as she is civil with Elijah.

This story is half AU and half based on actual events on the show, or a mixture of sorts. When you read it, you'll understand what I mean.

I want to thank Lyscat for inspiring me to write again. I haven't written a fan fiction in almost 9 years. (if you haven't read her Elejah fics please do, they are AMAZING and highly addictive LOL.)

If any one has an idea for a title, I am all ears... 4 chapters in and I'm still idea-less. It's a tad frustrating haha.

This story is very un-beta-ed. I apologize for any grammar mistakes. It's never been my strong suit. My spelling is better than my grammar.

I will update weekly.

Chapter 1

Elijah walked away from Katherine in the alley and went back to his vehicle. Elena had been right, of course. His Katerina was gone. Elena, however, was not.

At least not for good. Instead of letting the sting of Katherine's betrayal eat away at him, he would work on bringing back the Elena Gilbert he knew and loved.

The real Elena would never betray him like Katherine had. There would be the issue of those pesky Salvatore boys, but he would make Elena his.

He decided to call Elena's best friend Bonnie Bennett, a very powerful witch, to see if she had any ideas of what could be done to bring back his lovely Elena.

So he made his way back to Mystic Falls to meet her.

Bonnie Bennett was sitting in the Mystic Grill cramming for her Biology mid-term she had tomorrow. She usually was up to date on her studying, but with all the problems with Elena losing her humanity, Bonnie had spent all her free time trying to find some sort of spell that would bring her beloved best friend back. She was also waiting for Elijah Mikaelson to appear as he had called her out of the blue an hour ago concerned about Elena.

All of a sudden she felt a presence beside her. She looked up from her text-book and there stood Elijah Mikaelson, the Original vampire.

"Hello Bonnie, I apologize if I am interrupting an important study session." Elijah said.

Bonnie sighed. "No it's fine, this chapter is incredibly boring. So you wanted to talk about Elena?"

Elijah nodded and motioned to the seat beside her, Bonnie nodded back and Elijah pulled out the chair and sat down.

"I've just returned from a surprise visit with Elena, and I am very concerned. I'm wondering if something can be done to return her humanity." He said.

Bonnie sighed. "I've searched through all my gram's old grimoires and I couldn't find anything. All except one spell. However I think it might be too risky to even consider.

"It won't hurt to at least discuss it. What would this spell entale?" Elijah asked.

Bonnie bent down beside her chair and pulled a grimoire out of her bag and flipped it open. "I found one that would take her back in time far enough to allow her to change the chain of events that lead her to become a vampire. That's when things went awry. Right off the bat there was something off about her."

"How far back would it send her back?" Elijah asked.

"It doesn't say. It's all dependent on when Elena believes the chain of events began. That's why this is so risky. I don't know where I would be sending her to. Who knows what could be going on at that very moment." Bonnie said.

"Would she know what had happened?" Elijah asked.

"Yes. Well not right away, but within a few hours she would have full knowledge of what happened so that she can change what went wrong. She would be, in essence, rewriting history." Bonnie replied.

"Yes, this does sound risky. However, the course Elena is on now might be even riskier. Who knows if she can even return to her emotions. She has lost so much. That will be a lot of pain to endure all at once. Even I can't fathom it. Our Elena could be lost forever." Elijah said, his old weathered heart aching for Elena.

"Our Elena? Why are you so determined to save Elena all of a sudden? " Bonnie asked, somewhat stunned.

Elijah thought about his answer for a second, but before he could reply Bonnie interrupted him.

"Wait, are you in love with her?" She asked.

Elijah looked away for a second, and then back at Bonnie. "I think I have been for a long time. Probably since I first met her to be quite honest with you, and myself for that matter. She has one of the most compassionate souls I have ever encountered in my long life." He said. "After the ordeal with my mother I left town, thinking it would be best for her. I missed her more than I imagined I would. So to keep from thinking of her, I tried to distract myself..."

"With Katherine?" Bonnie asked with a slight look of disgust on her face.

"How on earth did you know that?" Elijah asked, shocked.

"Caroline... aka the rumor mill of Mystic Falls. I love her to bits, but she can't keep a juicy secret to save her life." Bonnie said with a laugh, and then stopped. "But, seriously Elijah... Katherine!?" She said, still trying to process the idea of the two of them together, and then trying to wipe the disgusting mental image from her mind.

Elijah sighed. "Yes it was a slight lack of good judgement on my part." He said looking defeated.

Bonnie rolled her eyes. "Yeah... I'll say." She paused for a second. She could tell Elijah had been beating himself up enough about Katherine, so she decided to give him a break, and let the topic drop.

There was an awkward silence between the two for a couple of moments.

Elijah was the first to speak. "I think this spell might be good for Elena. She's lost so much in her life. She'll have another chance to possibly live a happier life." Even if it didn't mean with him. He just wanted to her to be safe and happy. That's all that mattered to him.

"Ok then. I guess There's just the matter of when and where to do this spell." Bonnie said with a smile.
