Elena's pov

I went to my room in the Gilbert lake house. After reading John Gilbert's diary, I felt sick. I couldn't believe that Stefan had tried to kill John. As I walked past the kitchen, the front door kind of exploded off its hinches. And it landed on the floor, broken and destroyed. I stopped and grabbed a knife off the counter. Hiding it in my pocket. I stood by the broken door.

I saw a figure coming by and I hid not too far from the doorway. My heart was pounding, I knew I shouldn't have come here alone." Even though I can't see you, I can her your heart pound." Said a familiar voice.

One that I was afraid of. I was, normally, very brave but something about him made me frightened. I turned to face him." Elijah." I said, hoarsely.

The cold air was making me sick. In other words I've got the flu. Elijah stood there, right by the doorway." Elena," he said." Deals off!"

I froze on the spot.

"Why?" my voice went high.

"Stefan and Damon tried to kill me tonight. I'm just returning the favour."

"And what was that?"

"You. Are coming with me."

A shiver ran down my spine. No, I would never go with him. I had to get this deal back on. Then I remembered the knife in my pocket. I pulled it out. He laughed.

"The deal is back on or I will stab myself and bleed to death."

"You will never get the chance to try it."

Really? Time to show him! I pulled the knife toward my stomach, but before I could penetrate it the knife flew out off my hands. And Elijah was standing inside the house. How could he do that? I didn't even invite him in." Remember, I am an Original vampire. I can come in your lake house as I please." He said, noticing my surprised expression.

He came closer. And I ran straight up the stairs to my room. I locked the door and stood very still. I could hear footsteps up the stairs but then they stopped. I coughed, I really had the flu. The footsteps got louder as he approached my room. I looked for something to stab me when I remembered the closet that was full of wooden stakes and arrows. Elijah pounded on the door.

And just as he was able to bang the door down, I ran into the closet and grabbed the nearest stake. And I plunged it into my stomach casuing to bleed un-controllably. I fell to the floor and dropped the stake." No!" I heard Elijah shout.

He ran in and saw the amount of blood seeping through my shirt. I broke into little gasps. It is the damn flu I have. I shouldn't have stabbed myself, but I wanted the deal back on." You're not getting out so easily!" Elijah growled.
He bit his wrist, hard enough for blood to come. He pushed the blood to my mouth, but I refused. After a while the blood, unwillingly, seeped down my throat.

But when Elijah pulled his wrist away, it didn't work. In fact, I felt weaker. Like I was going to die. It was hard to breathe; I had a lump in my throat and I felt a great weight on top of me even though nothing was there. I broke out in cold sweats. I looked at Elijah, he looked horrified." Elena, you're dying." He said, quietly as if he could not belive it himself.

"What?" I said, but it came out as a whisper.
"I need to take you back to Jonas and Luka, they can help." Elijah stated.
Apparently he didn't here me, or didn't want to.

He carried me too his car in bridal style. When he placed me on the back seat I became cold and started to shiver. He ran back inside and in a second he came out with a pillow in one and a cosy- looking blanket in the other. He put the pillow under my head and wrapped the blanket around me. I becaee a little warmer. Elijah quickly hopped into the driver's seat and sped back to Mystic Falls.

I think, about halfway there, I fell into a deep sleep...
