A/N: This is my version of what takes place when Elena is attacked by Rebekkah, and what happens after with Elijah. I'm thinking of making this a story if I have enough people wanting me to, but as of now, its just a one-shot. Enjoy!(:

Elena's POV

I climbed into my car and shut the door, waving at Matt as he backed up and drove away. I put my car into reverse and glanced in my rearview mirrors before slowly backing up. I pressed my foot on the gas and backed up until- BUMP. My back bumper hit something! I had checked my mirrors, there were no cars behind me-there was nothing behind me actually. I glanced in my mirror again and quickly got out of my car and walked around to the back, still wondering what I hit. All of a sudden Rebekkah appeared and slammed me against my car, her iron grip around my neck.

"Hello Elena, surprised to see me?" she sneered, tightening her grip.

My eyes widened and I clawed at her hands, desperately needing air.

"Please…Rebekkah…Don't kill me so quickly, it would be…over too soon," I gasped; trying to buy some time, hoping a vampire who would help me would be in the vicinity. She let go of my neck and pushed me to the ground, my head hitting the tire as I slumped to the pavement.

"I'm sorry," I whispered.

She kicked my chest, and I felt a rib break and a bruise form. I gasped out in pain and my head spun as I started to feel the effects of the tire hitting my head.

She grabbed me by the hair and picked me up, leaning me against the car.

"Being in a coffin for a few months has made me awfully hungry," she murmured in my ear, her fangs sliding out.

She brushed my dirty hair off my shoulder, and bit into my neck messily.

I felt her fangs pierce my neck and I screamed out in pain. Then she started to drag her fangs, still buried in my skin, back and forth leaving a long bloody gash in my neck. All of a sudden, her fangs retracted, and I felt her drinking my blood. I felt my heart pumping weaker, trying to make more blood that wasn't going anywhere but into Rebekkah's system.

The pressure on my neck was released, and I weakly opened my eyes. There was Elijah, looking very bad-a$$, with his sister pressed up against my car.

"You haven't even been out of the coffin for 24 hours and you're already ruining our new life?" he snarled at her.

"She stabbed me in the back Elijah!" she protested, giving me the evil eye.

My vision blurred and I slowly began to slump to the ground.

"Go home Rebekkah." Elijah commanded her.

I heard a whoosh and Elijah was suddenly at my side, pressing his bloody wrist into my mouth, making me drink his blood.

"Elena," he whispered in my ear. "I'm so sorry for betraying you and our deal. Please forgive me."

My eyelids drooped once more, and I welcomed the darkness.

I opened my eyes, unsure of where I was. I tried to sit up, but found it hurt too much, so I settled for lying back down in the comfortable foreign bed.

"Hello?" I called out weakly. "Elijah? Anyone there?"

I heard a click and the table lamp next to me turned on.

Elijah was sitting on the bed across from me.

"We must be in a hotel." I thought.

He peered at me. "I'm sorry for taking you away from your car, it's just-"

I cut him off, "There was so much blood and I was hurt, you figured your best bet would be to take me to a hotel room-instead of my own home-to allow me to recover." I said blandly.

He bowed his head. "It was closer then your home, and you were weak, Elena."

I looked up at him, "I can't trust you..."

He nodded.

I put my hand up to my neck and felt a bandage taped there.

"My blood was able to heal your concussion and broken ribs, but it didn't heal your bite for some reason," he explained, his expression blank.

"My blood must be bothering him…" I mused.

I touched my neck. "I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable."

He shook his head, "I won't hurt you, I've already done enough of that."

I sat up slowly, and began to climb out of bed. I stood, and so did Elijah.

"Easy there, you lost a lot of blood," he murmured in my ear, gripping my forearm lightly.

My knees wobbled. "Do Stefen and Damon know where I am?"

His face tightened, "I-er-no. Would you like to call them?"

"Please," I said, taking my cell phone that he handed me.

I called Jeremy first.

Ring….ring…ring…

"Elena? Where have you been? Where are you?" Jer answered, obviously very worried.

"I'm okay Jer. I'm in a hotel. Rebekkah attacked me last night. I got hurt really bad, and well, Elijah came to my rescue," I explained, giving Elijah a grateful smile.

"Have you told Damon or Stefen yet?" he asked.

"No, could you call them and tell them? I have some stuff I have to do before I head home."

"Alright. Be safe, 'Lena, love you." He told me sincerely.

"Love you too Jer, and thanks," I hung up.

I put my phone in my pocket and looked up at Elijah.

"I see Damon un-daggered you," I noted.

"He did indeed, he wanted my help in killing Klaus." he replied.

"Why did you betray me, Elijah?" I asked all of a sudden, curious of his answer.

"He had my family. You know I would do anything for my family, Elena."

I nodded. "I hope we can still be friends, and that I can grow to trust you again..."

"Elena, I am truly sorry for my betrayal, but can you understand? Klaus had my family-imagine if he had Jeremy-wouldn't you do anything and everything in your power to get him back?"

I kept my expression neutral and I nodded.

"I'm sorry about Jenna and John too, Elena." He apologized quietly.

The thought of my biological father and my aunt brought tears to my eyes.

Elijah moved his grip from my forearm to my hand and pulled me against his chest gently, hugging me. I let out the tears I had kept locked away for weeks in Elijah's warm embrace. His hand gently stroked my hair, and he murmured, "It will be okay Elena, you shall see them again."

A/N: 2 : If I do continue this, I'd have a growing relationship with Elijah. Soo yeah.
