Bill walked back into his office as Elijah stood waiting for his turn to be shown his class. But bill said nothing as he closed the door behind him causing confusion to appear in Elijah's eyes.

''Elijah I want to have a chat with you. Please take a seat'' he said signalling to the couch the teen was standing next to. He walked round the table and took a seat upon the other sofa. Elijah looked around cautiously before sitting down and placing his school bag back onto the floor.

''If you don't mind, I'd like to talk about your father'' Bill saw the teenager tense as he mentioned his father. Unlike Klaus, Elijah was not as forgiving towards his father. ''Now I have down on your records that your mother was ill a few years ago and you had to stay with your father while she was in hospital. I have nothing on him in your records but I do need his address and number incase we need to contact him, in case it happens again''

''Trust me you don't want to contact him. What happened with mother, it won't happen again, the doctors cleared her. The man was a waste of space. If anything happens either me or Nik will step up and it will be fine but I beg you sir, do not contact my father'' Elijah said his eyes meeting with Bill's for only a few moments.

''You're scared of him aren't you. Why?'' Bill asked

''Because it's his fault my mother was in that hospital'' Elijah snarled. Bill sighed, he knew there was more to the father than the mother led on.

''What happened?'' Bill asked leaning back in the couch.

''I'm not really sure. Mum and dad were always arguing, something things would get smashed or doors would be slammed waking me or Nik up, sometimes even Kol. Until one night we were all sitting while father was at work then he stormed in with a crazed look in his eyes. He screamed at us all to get upstairs. I told Nik to get everyone up into my room and warned him to stay there and not let any of the others out. I hid in the kitchen and listened all I heard was him shouting things that I didn't understand, and then I heard my mother screaming and crying. Then I heard the front door slam. When I went in my mother was on the floor, she wasn't moving. I shouted on Nik and told him to keep everyone away from the windows while I phoned the ambulance. I was thirteen years old and I had to sit in that hospital for four hours on my own thinking my mother was dead'' Elijah said as tears began to well up in his eyes. Bill looked towards him in sympathy.

''Did he ever hit you or your siblings?'' Bill asked looking towards Elijah who sniffed and shook his head.

''I'd have killed him if he did. He tried to get mother to put Henrik up for adoption but she wouldn't'' Elijah said looking towards Bill.

''Why Henrik?'' bill asked looking in confusion towards the youngster.

''Because, Henrik is not his son. That's what my father was angry at the night he beat my mother'' Elijah said. Bill nodded in understanding, this family had been through a lot more than he thought.

''Thank you Elijah. If you would like to follow me and I shall show you to your class'' Bill smiled standing to his feet.

''Sir? Can you please not tell my mother about this. I promised I wouldn't tell anyone. Not even Nik knows what I know, as far as they are concerned mother was ill and father came with me to the hospital and Henrik is their full brother instead of their half'' Elijah said. Bill smiled slight and nodded before walking through the door with Elijah following him.

Elijah followed him up the stairs and along the corridor to the science department. All the other kids watched him as they passed by classroom window. Bill knocked twice before pushing the door open.

''Miss Sommers, may I please speak with Elena?'' Bill smiled looking up towards his daughter who was sitting beside her boyfriend Matt Donovan. Elena's face paled as she looked up towards her father. Miss Sommers nodded before looking to Elena who had already risen out of her seat and was making her way towards her father.

Elijah and Elena smiled slightly towards each other in a sort of greeting before they both turned to look towards Mr Forbes.

''Elena this is Elijah Mikaelson, he just started today. Elijah this is Elena Forbes, she is our head girl here at the school and will be showing you around all your classes for the rest of the day and helping you catch up on some of the work. I'll be back to check on you later'' Bill smiled before walking off down the hallway.

''So is he your dad?'' Elijah asked looking down towards Elena whose colour had returned slightly. Elena chuckled slightly before nodding

''Wow boy do I feel sorry for you'' Elijah laughed as Elena made her way back towards the door.

''Miss Sommers this is Elijah Mikaelson. He's new to the school'' Elena smiled signalling to Elijah who offered a nervous smile towards te teacher.

''Okay well Elijah why don't you sit up the back and try to catch up. Elena would you mind helping him get up to date on the topic?'' Miss sommers asked. Elena looked towards Elijah smiling.

''Of course not Miss'' Elena said before walking up her desk and grabbing her work. Matt looked up towards her with his eyebrows raised

''To keep my dad happy'' She sighed before making her way up to sit with Elijah who felt Matt's glare on his as he walked behind Elena to the back of the classroom.
