Being compelled to forget something is terrible, being compelled to lie is worse.
Your head is telling the truth but your mouth is telling lies.
100 years ago ~~ 2015
Elena and Caroline were sunbathing beside the giant pool at the back of the Mikaelson manor.
Elena thought about the past three years and how her life had changed (for the better).
She had let down both of the Salvatores only to find love in none other then Elijah, Caroline had eventually given in to Klaus and his charms now the four of them including Kol and Rebekah lived in the big mansion together.
It took a while before Rebekah got used to having them around but once the girls had warmed up to each other they quickly became the bestest of friends.
Bonnie moved to New Orleans to study folklore at the university there.
Kol was a good friend but always a flirt, he would bring home one sometimes two girls a night to simply feed from, he didn't believe in true love.
Elijah was great, perfect even- for Elena.
They shared the same passion for books and reading and they both hated being lied to.
If Elijah and Elena was Romeo and Juliet, Klaus and Caroline were Beauty and the beast for sure she really had changed him for the better.
The Mikaelson's was out for the day and the two girls were having a nice day out enjoying the sun and catching up.
Elena was just about turn page in her book when a twig snapped and she looked up, maybe Elijah was back early.
"Elijah?" Elena asked sweetly.
Silence.
"Who's there?!" Caroline demanded and put down her magazine.
They focused at the trees when a voice startled them from behind.
"Hello girls."
Elena recognized him from a few years back, his scary features weren't that hard to remember.
"Mikeal."
The girls shared a look then tried to flash inside but he was faster and grabbed them both by their necks.
"Foolish young girls, who make my son and Niklaus, believe in love. I will show them how wrong they were."
