A/N: Okay guys this is my first attempt at writing fanfiction, but I love the Originals so much, especially Elijah and Kol! So here I am testing the waters.

Chapter 1

The door was opened and the residents of the house have been surprised to see not only Kol but Elijah at the front porch. Elijah was the one who broke the silence, „Good evening. It would be better if we could speak with each other comfortably, so Jeremy if you'd please invite my brother inside your home." Elijah trailed off, leaving no question that he expected that his wish should be fulfilled.

Jeremy slightly lowered the weapon in his hands and looked at his sister and silently asked with his eyes, if it was alright to let the other Original inside their home. Elena contemplated the idea for a minute and then slightly nodded to him that it was alright. She trusted Elijah and he can guarantee that Kol behaves himself.

Matt has already exited through the back door when everyone could hear Jeremy inviting in the youngest Original brother, "You can come in." Then he also left, following after his friend.

Elijah waited patiently and let his brother pass through first into Elena's home. He could tell that she was very nervous and slightly fearful at their presence in her home. Her normally trusting, warm brown eyes spoke volumes about her current state of mind. As he stepped into her home after Kol he passed so close to her that he could feel her warmth. After closing the door she motioned them towards the dining area where they could sit and speak. Elena pulled out a chair on the side of the table that faced towards the living room and before she sat down in it told her guests, "Please, take a seat."

At her invitation Kol pulled out the chair at the head of the table and waited for Elijah to sit down before pulling out the one on his elder brothers left and also took his seat. Elena watched this with quite a bit of surprise and even a hint of curiosity. Kol hasn't been seem to someone who showed respect toward anything or anyone, yet with this gesture he clearly displayed his willingness to do whatever Elijah decided was best for their goals.

It was again Elijah who broke first spoke as he turned his head to completely face Elena and be able to look into her eyes. "So, you wish for a truce between yourself and your friends and us regarding Silas. I have to tell you that this is hard to believe as rumors have it that you have an alliance with Nicklaus." He spoke calmly and his face showed nothing but calmness somehow Elena could tell that he wasn't pleased with her at the notion that she could even entertain the thought of working with his psychotic brother.

"I don't have an alliance with Klaus. We have a mutual interest in finding the cure. That's all."

"Had?" Kol asked her with skepticism in his voice.

She turned from Elijah's penetrating gaze towards Kol. "Yes." Elena paused and continued in a firm voice. "And I am willing to give up looking for it, if you promise to leave my brother alone." She said as she turned her attention back to Elijah. In the corner of her eyes she saw as Kol smirked at her. Elena until this moment never really realized just how dark and handsome, with brown eyes that seemed to see right into her soul, like his older brother's , was the youngest Original brother. His presence though had the hairs on the back of her neck standing on end and unconsciously she sought Elijah's gaze which was always warmer when directed at her and reassured her that nothing wrong will happen to her.

"Elena if you are serious about leaving the cure where it is currently than I see no reason why we couldn't make a deal. And you, Kol?" Elijah said with now a hint of a smile on his handsome face.

"I still think that she doesn't tell us everything, brother. She holds onto information and before we go any further, I'd like to hear more about what they know and are planning currently. " Kol told calmly, his eyes focusing on her face as he spoke his words to his brother. "Well, tell us Elena."

At Elijah's nod she thought through her their situation for a moment. She knew that she could trust Elijah, even if in the past they betrayed each other to save their family, and from what she has seen from the dynamics between the brothers tonight she had the feeling that if Kol gave her his word he would keep it. The options here were not many but what would give her the best chance to protect her little brother and on another hand she has never wanted to be a vampire, she wanted to take the cure. Elena also didn't know what would Damon and Stefan think on the matter. With so many things to mull over yet so little time she listened to her instincts and decided to tell the brothers the truth about her intentions tonight.

Elena watched them warily for a second more than finally turned to face Kol. "I wanted to dagger you tonight and if possible kill you."

"What?" Elijah asked her surprised, there is no way that he could have possibly heard right! Elena, this beautiful compassionate young woman who he respected beyond measure plotted to end his youngest brother's life. Nicklaus, he could understand but to think that she would have willingly, coldheartedly killed Kol, he didn't want to believe it. And yet he knew that in her position he would have most likely come to the same conclusion as her. With Kol's death the elder Salvatore would be free from his brother's compulsion to kill young Jeremy and simultaneously the tattoo would became complete as thousands of vampires died through the world.

Kol chuckled. "This is the first truly honest sentence out of your mouth." He appraised the newly turned doppelganger with new eyes. He didn't think that she had it in her. Now he could see what his eldest brother saw in her. Compared to her predecessors she was loyal to her family and friends and would do anything and everything for them, even dirtying her hands. Kol started to feel a newfound respect for her as her gaze hasn't wavered for second from his while she made her confession and looked him in the eyes even after it. Oh, he could feel her fear at what his reaction may be at this but she still made it clear with her posture and expression that she hasn't got any regret over the matter. He thought his brothers attention and was not surprised at the understanding in his eyes directed at the remarkable woman at the table with them, he signaled to him that he won't do anything rash at this revelation and willing to continue in a new light this little meeting which in his opinion got more and more interesting.

Elena in her relief let out a sigh and felt that she was finally able to speak again without her voice breaking. "I won't apologize for it." She told them. "But I need a reason, a really good one to be able to give up." She looked at Elijah as she continued. "No one else seems to think Silas exists. So why do you?" She wanted to understand why the two Originals wanted them to leave the cure where it is, what kind of a monster Silas could be that was worth leaving the chance of being human again behind.

"I used to run with some witches in Africa in the XIV. century, Haiti in the XVII. century, New Orealns in the 1900s." Kol answered her question calmly. "They all knew about Silas and that he needed to stay buried." He leaned forward and placed his left hand on the table as he continued speaking with a conviction and seriousness he rarely displayed. "I actually hold witches in high esteem."

She still didn't understand their reluctance at awakening Silas as they were two of the most powerful creatures that walked the planet. "Yeah, but why Silas? Why are you so afraid of him?" Elena asked her next question and this time Elijah was the one who answered.

"They said if Silas rises, he'll unleash hell on earth. He will take down the veil that separates the living from the dead and bring back all supernatural who died."

Elena listened to their words in stunned silence and barely heard Kol's comment. "I happen to like earth just the way it is."

She couldn't even fathom, didn't want to imagine what would happen if all the supernatural would reappear. Elena still remembered quite clearly when for a few hours Lexi and others returned, some of them would be great to see again but what about the vengeful ones, or the ones who relished in killing and destroying. She finally understood why Kol so passionately demanded them to leave all of it alone. But she still couldn't completely believe that this is may be possible.

"That's sounds pretty Biblical." Elena muttered under her breath, completely forgetting that her company could hear clearly what she said.

Again Kol was the one who spoke up. "Well, that's the other problem with people today. They've lost faith, and in that loss, they no longer know who they should fear."

Elijah saw that she struggled with the facts they reviled to her, that she still didn't really believe in it. He couldn't afford that she and her friends go through with their plan of finding the cure no matter how much he wished that he could grant her wish to turn her back into human. In all honesty, he was a little happy that she turned that she will be alive in the centuries to come.

"Elena." He called for her attention. "I know that this is hard to accept. But you need to think on the matter if even the consequences of waking Silas are third as serious as it is, would you be willing to take the risk in good conscience."

Elena glared at the table top for long moments before she stood up and took a small step back from the table and reached for her phone which was in the front pocket of her jeans and dialed his brother's number. It rang once, twice before Jeremy picked it up. "We still need time to get back and Matt hasn't been able to find the dagger yet." Were the first things out of his mouth.

Elena looked nervously towards Kol, who seemed slightly amused at what his brother told her. Elijah just inclined slightly his head for her to continue.

"Jer, come home. We won't need the dagger. Please call Matt too." She didn't give time for his brother to protest and got off the phone.

"Before I promise you to do what you ask of me, I need you to promise me that you will not go after my brother in any case and that you will free Damon from the compulsion to kill him." Elena told Kol in all seriousness, eying him warily.

Kol at seeing that she meant what she said, he couldn't come up with a reason to not go along with her requests. Not that he wouldn't have loved to antagonize the cocky Salvatore a little longer with the notion that he would kill the only family of the love of his un-life if he got the chance. But he knew all too well that his eldest brother would dish out a punishment if he failed to comply with her reasonable demands.

"Alright. I give you my word that I will leave your brother alone and that I will lift the compulsion."

Elijah hearing this was quite satisfied that his baby brother didn't make things more difficult that they already were and that he didn't antagonize Elena over her requests.

Okay that's the first chappie. Please let me know what you think and tell me should I continue this or not. :)
