AN: We're back! Sorry it took almost three days to get an update. I have other things to write (like my fiction) so I have a full plate right now! Anywhere, here's a little bit of Elijah's feelings courtesy of Vanillidream!

Chapter 1

"I have a sister!?" I heard Elena screech from the other room.

After my little scene, Stefan suggested that it was best if we headed to the boarding house to keep things under wraps. He was kind enough to show me to my luxurious room before running back to the arms of his loving betrothed—my sister. That was my cue to stay in the room while the rest of them—Caroline, Tyler, Elena, Stefan, and Damon—tried to make sense of what I just told them.

The room Stefan gave me was absolutely gorgeous. There was a large, dark oak dresser in the corner of the room by the door. On top of it sat a rather large television that was perfect for viewing in the bed, or anywhere else in the room for that matter. The bed itself had oak framing—the border around the bed, the foot of the bed, the head board, and even the canopy was oak. I felt the sheets and lied back on the bed relaxing. The sheets were made of the softest cotton and the comforter was very fluffy, as were the pillows. I felt like I was on a cloud and that fact helped me relax because I knew I would be able to connect with the elements easier in here. A loud, flabbergasted sigh stopped me from examining the room further.

"Elena, calm down! She doesn't even have any proof. She doesn't even look like you! She can't be your sister!" I heard Caroline say as I came down the stairs.

"I'm sure we can prove that bitch is lying with a blood test," Tyler spoke.

I rounded the corner. "You want a blood test? Fine, I know how to get a blood test for free." I said snapping my wrist in front of the dark haired vampire—I believe his name was Damon. Who, in turn, arched a dark eyebrow, intrigued by my action.

Elena and Caroline both looked appalled. "Um, no," Caroline said, her eyebrows rose in shock. "We are not letting Damon get a free shot of blood."

"Besides, I'm not comfortable with giving my blood to any vampire out of spite," Elena commented in shock.

I rolled my eyes at them. "What's the fun in fearing it?" I asked.

"The fact that any vampire could kill us without a second though," Elena said baffled that I didn't comprehend her petty fear. "Aren't you scared of that fact?"

"No," I said flatly. "I'd burn their heads off without a second thought if they even dared to think of that."

Damon carefully moved my wrist away from him. "So, what you're saying is that you're a witch?" He asked intrigued by our conversation.

"Absolutely not! I am so much better than a normal witch," I said ever so boldly angered that Damon would even assume that about me.

"Then what the hell are you?" Elena spat at me

"I'm your sister," I teased her crudely, winking in her direction.

Stefan released a steady pace of air, trying not to laugh at my comment and behavior. "Fia is an elemental manipulator."

"I knew she was a supernatural freak like the rest of us! I could tell when I first met her!" Tyler proclaimed.

I rolled my eyes dramatically. "Good for you, hybrid. Do you want a cookie?"

Stefan gave me a pointed look. "She can control any of the elements natural to our world, and also the unnatural ones that are out of the reach of the scientific world."

"So, is she good or bad?" Caroline asked as if it was the most important question of all.

"Both," I said looking at her with my glowing violet eyes.

Elena looked at Stefan, clearly not wanting to deal with me, her sister, at the moment. "How can she be both?"

"Simple, Blood Bag," called an ancient voice. "There's a prophecy."

The blond Original from earlier—Rebekah—waltzed into the room then. There was so much power and boldness in her stride that she seemed undefeatable. But even I could see she was uncomfortable being here alone with this group. The tension in the room told me that there were unresolved conflicts amongst them.

"Beat it, Rebekah," Caroline sneered. "This isn't any of your concern."

Rebekah didn't look fazed by Caroline's rude outburst. "So, then someone else in this room knows the prophecy word by word? Because as we all know, if just one word is out of place, it could be disastrous. So tell me," Rebekah paused looking between Stefan and I, "do either of you know the prophecy?"

I looked away with a grimace. Of course I didn't know—that's one of the reasons to why I'm here. If any town knew the secret to my life, it would have to be this one. But if it were any one person, it would definitely be an Original vampire. Stefan must have looked perplexed as well because Rebekah continued.

"Thought so," the old blonde replied snobbishly, but she said no more on the topic

Elena looked at her confused. "Are you going to tell us the prophecy or what?"

"Oh, I didn't say that," Rebekah replied quietly.

Damon tossed his head in frustration. "Oh, cut the crap Rebekah. Your interest clearly shows you know something we don't."

Rebekah's pink lips twisted to the side and her eyes narrowed with distrust at the group. "I may know something. But it'll come at a price."

The group all groaned with dissatisfaction at her word. "There's always a price, is there not?!" Caroline vocally expression the groups disdain.

"What's the price?" I asked, excluded from the group's unwillingness.

"Um, Fia," Caroline waved her hands at me. "I know you're new and all, but you have to understand this now: never make a deal with these siblings. It'll be the death of you soon enough."

I rolled my eyes at her words. "Please, I can raise a white oak tree in seconds if they double cross me."

Rebekah's eyes narrowed even further at me—if that was possible. "Really now," she said faking interest. "So is this your dark side speaking or your light side speaking? If this is your light, I'd hate to be an enemy of the dark."

I snarled annoyed at her for not getting to the point. "Name your price!" I demanded.

Rebekah glanced around at the group, analyzing everyone. "I can get you the information you so want, if you get me date with Matt."

The damn to hell broke.

"There is absolutely no way that is going to happen!" Caroline screeched, her face growing red from anger

"You cannot be serious," groaned Tyler in disbelief

"There's no way that's happening," Elena chimed.

The hatred filled words were fired away at Rebekah and she took it all. The only ones not shooting her with hateful comments were the Salvatores and I. We just calmly watched the battle field with our heads screwed on listening to everything that was being said.

"Enough!" Rebekah yelled over the noise. Her commanding authority silenced everyone for a moment. "I wasn't asking any of you imbeciles! My deal was posed towards the Elemental." She turned towards me looking me in the eyes. "Now, what is your—"

"Oh no," Caroline said stepping forward, growling at Rebekah. "She has no right to decide that matter. She just got here today! She's new!"

"Caroline's right. Fia's not up to date with how our… relations work with your family." Stefan backed her up.

"I know enough to know Matt doesn't care for Rebekah." I stated with a blank face looking at Rebekah still.

Rebekah shifted her weight to her other leg with a snap of her hips. "Look, do you want the information or not? I know it's not known anywhere else, but with my family."

I looked at her levelly. She thought she had all the power in the world available to her at her manicured fingertips—that she was superior to us. Then again, she was an Original vampire who was virtually, indestructible compared to everyone else in the world.

"I think you have yourself a deal," I said.

Elijah's POV

"Yes, Rebekah, I will let Nicklaus know the girl is coming." Elijah paused to listen to his younger sister's orders. "Yes, I will also have the maids have your best dresses out with your makeup and styling tools ready. Yes, goodbye," he finished and ended the call. He hoped that the Elemental Rebekah was talking about was not the one he couldn't stop thinking about since he last saw her.

"Our little sister is bringing home a playmate?" Klaus said coming into the room. "This 'ought to be fun. I hope she's good looking"

Elijah sighed. He didn't see the point in Rebekah telling him to give a message to Klaus when at the first mention of his name, Klaus was there listening in on the phone call.

"Indeed, brother," The dark brunette said folding his hands behind his back. He opened his mouth to speak, but paused to gather his thoughts. He continued: "Tell me, Nicklaus, do you remember the Elementals?"

Klaus raised a blond eyebrow with interest, cocking his head slightly to the side. "I do indeed. They nearly went extinct at the turn of the century, so many going into hiding and letting weak witches control the natural balance that only they could. But the fun went away after they faded. It's a shame. If Elementals were still around today, well, Mystic Falls would be a party full of all supernatural beings that I would just love to be a part of. If Elementals were still around, they would surely add some spice to this boring town we took residence in."

Elijah debated his next words carefully. He knew he had to be quick with his speech or Klaus would have his head. "What about the prophecy, brother? Do you remember it in its fullest?"

Klaus was about the answer when the door barged open. He disappeared to get to it, putting on his most charming smile after seeing who was at the door accompanying Rebekah. "Welcome home dearest sister," he said sweetly, "and her lovely guest."

"Shut it, Nicklaus, I have no time for your words, I have a date tonight." Rebekah abruptly stated and headed upstairs in a rush.

"Don't mind Rebekah, she has the case of cold feet around newcomers. Come in, dear, come in." Klaus cajoled.

Elijah's breath caught in his throat seeing the hypnotizing girl walk into his house. He remembered that glossy white hair and piercing bright purple eyes. He recognized the girl in an instance; he would never be able to forget her. Of course, she was no longer a small girl. She was a magnificent young woman with power and defiance in her eyes. Elijah quietly stepped back not wanting her to see him, it was still too soon. This wasn't his discussion and he should leave—it was the courteous thing to do, that for once in his life he didn't want to do, but he did.

Elijah silently left the room. He couldn't believe it! His heart felt alive for the first time in—in five years. Had it really been five years? Elijah wished he could have said he hadn't felt this way since he met Katarina, but he was an honest man. He had never felt this strongly about one female in his life, ever. No, it had been five years since these flames had last consumed his ever beating heart. She was so young back then, but he couldn't help but be attracted to her. It was incredible to him how he could feel so possessive over a mere child. Feeling so strong for this one girl that he has never felt anything similar for any grown woman still amazed him to this day. No, this one girl has somehow gotten him wrapped around her finger doing practically nothing other than smiling in his direction.

On the run from their father once more, the three siblings took a rest in New Mexico near a Native American reserve. Elijah and his curious nature roamed the little towns around where they were staying from dawn till dusk. He was always so interested in the other cultures and how they worked together perfectly. It was hard to stay away from them.

One day in his mini-travels, Elijah stumbled upon the reservation. He pitied the Native Americans because he had seen what the Americans had done to them before. It was such a shame. They seemed to spark Elijah's interest the most, but they feared him and shied away whenever he came near. He was an Original after all. He crossed through the gates anyway and looked around. They had a fair amount of land for their horses to gaze and for children to play.

Elijah spotted a Native American child out in the fields, near a creek. It was a petite girl with snow colored hair that glistened in the sun. She wore a soft, sky blue dress that was probably hand made for her. The girl was doing no more than watching the fish from what Elijah could see as he approached her.

"Hello," purred her soft, young voice.

Elijah was startled. He was a deadly killer—always silent. How could a little human girl sense him like that?

She giggled lightly, the sound of bells. "I could see your reflection, and as you got closer, you made ripples in the water."

Elijah still thought it odd, but didn't push it as he sat down to join her. Children also perked his intellectual interest."

"I'm Fia," the girl claimed, smiling like the sun.

"My name's Elijah," he found his soft, lulling voice speaking for him.

Fia smiled slightly, not having yet to look up at him. "Aligeh," She tried pronouncing. Elijah smiled at her feeble attempt. "I'll just call you El, for now. A lot of the locals let me call them by their first syllable because I'm still learning how to say their full names."

'She's so innocent,' Elijah thought as he watched her interact with nature and the world around them. "What are you doing out here by yourself?"

"Being with nature. My family says it's a good idea, especially since I'm an Elemental Manipulator." Fia said with a big smile, her body radiating happiness and pureness. "I like being around water the best."

Elijah looked at the little girl with intense interest now. An Elemental… he could have sworn they died out years ago—or at least went into hiding. That would explain the oddity of the child for one thing, why he was to drawn to this creature, he didn't know.

"Step away from her, demon!"

Elijah looked up to see an old female shaman there, pointing an arrow at him. He knew better than to assume there wasn't some sort of ailment on the arrow to slow him down or paralyze him, of course, not for forever though.

"Come here, Fia," she called.

Fia looked back at Elijah with a small smile. "Bye El," she said with a smile and headed over to the shaman.

Elijah watched as they whispered few words. Fia left, leaving the shaman with him.

"What did you do to her? Tell me now know so I can set things right." She spat at him.

Elijah slowly stood, patting down his pants. "I didn't do anything to her. I merely spoke with the child is all. It's good to hear the Elementals haven't gone extinct. She has a future ahead of her; but whether it's bright or dark, well, we won't know." He said and put his hands in his pockets and started walking away.
