Si POV

Ever since I had entered the town of Mystic Falls I've had to fight the urge to turn and run all the way back to England. However as soon as I walked into the Mystic Falls grill and saw none other than Damon Salvatore, I knew I couldn't leave.

I had studied Damon Salvatore very closely the first time I had visited the Falls while searching for Katerina Petrova. He hadn't changed much appearance wise: his eyes were still the lightest blue I had ever seen, his hair the darkest shade of raven black, but it still felt as if something had changed. As soon as he began to talk I found the difference.

His voice had lost the joy it had when he was human. I could hear the hollowness it carried even when the only words he spoke was his name.

This had been the reason I made the deal with the vampire doppelganger to begin with. As soon as I had seen him over a century ago, I knew Damon didn't deserve to live the never-ending life of a vampire.

Katerina thought she would always be able to skip over death, which is why she so easily agreed to the deal and only one Salvatore brother. But now, standing in front of the Salvatore boarding house, I can see Katerina knows this is the end of the road for her.

And it would have been if I could get into the damn house!

On the outside I was calm and my voice was even, but on the inside I was spitting rocks and yelling. I was born in a time of Ladies and Gentlemen, but my temper had always shown through despite my upbringing. It was actually Elijah who finally taught me how to keep my temper under control.

Speaking of Elijah, here he stood in front of me after two or three centuries. I'm not exactly sure how much time has passed. I don't care much for keeping up with time anymore.

"What are you doing here Si?" Elijah's calming voice intruded in on my inner musings. Of course he couldn't just be happy with the fact that I'm here and still alive.

"I came to visit you dear Elijah." I sent him my trademark condescending smirk. His doppelganger stepped closer to him and grabbed onto his arm.

"And you must be Elena." Her eyes, which had been sizing me up, snapped up meeting mine. "Why she looks just like you Katerina!" I directed towards Katerina but kept my eyes leveled with Elena.

"Who are you?" Elena asked, obviously still not sure if I was a friend or foe.

"Awe, Elijah doesn't talk about me?" I looked towards Elijah as a pout fell onto my face. He simply rolled his eyes at my childish behavior like he used to do; it was as if it hadn't been centuries since we had last seen each other.

"Invite me in and I'll answer any questions your pretty little mind may think of." Her eyes narrowed and I'm sure if I wasn't a vampire she would have had a few choice words for me. Her mouth opened as if she was going to reply but she was cut off by Elijah who was making his way into the house himself.

"Invite her in Elena." He didn't even look back at her as he said this; I couldn't hold my smile back this time. Elijah hadn't changed one bit, and to be honest, now that I stood a few feet away from him, I realized how much I have missed him.

Elena didn't look happy but still she mumbled a short invitation in towards my direction. Before she even finish I flew into the house and tackled Elijah to the ground.

I could feel everyone in the home take defensive stances from their places; of course none of them knew I would never hurt Elijah.

I felt Elijah deep chuckle as he stood up from my surprise attack hug. I held on to him with a vice grip not ready to let go of my eldest friend yet.

"I should have seen that one coming." He spoke, the humor clear in his voice, as he wrapped his arms around me responding to my hug.

"I've missed you 'Lijah." My voice came out muffled from where I had nuzzled into his neck.

To an outsider this would look crazy. A small vampire girl holding onto one of the most dangerous vampires ever, but this was normal for me and Elijah.

I heard a voice clear behind me. "Will someone please explain to me what's going on here?" Elena spoke in an irritated voice.

To my surprise Elijah didn't drop me from our hug but instead carried me over to a couch and sat down effectively pulling me into his lap. If looks could kill, Elena would have already set me on fire and set me straight to hell.

"Hi I'm Si Tudor." I reached out to shake her hand but she just stood there looking at me like I had just killed her cat. Normally I would have smirked at this, but frankly I was a little put off.

"Si is a very old friend, Elena." Elijah looked towards her while speaking, but his hand strayed and began to play with my hair. He had always done this, ever since he found me as a little girl, knowing that it served to keep us both calm.

"I'm not that old." I narrowed my eyes at him playfully.

"I've been wondering that actually," Damon spoke from his corner of the room where he stood drinking his scotch. "How old are you Si?" I had almost forgotten about the three other vampires in the room since Elijah and I's reunion began.

While Damon stood relaxed in his corner, Stefan had taken a somewhat defensive stance in front of Katerina who looked about ready to bolt herself.

I rolled my eyes. "Sit down Katerina; you know I won't do anything while you're expecting it." Katerina sent a small smile in my direction and pulled Stefan over to the couch directly across from Elijah and me.

"Ok, I'm confused now," Stefan exclaimed while throwing a questioning glance at me.

"Damon's question first," I smiled "I'm not good with remembering how much time has passed but I believe I'm around…six hundred years old?"

"Five hundred years dear." Elijah corrected me.

"Oh wow, I am old." Elijah chuckled again which caused both me ad Elena smile.

"Why are you here?" Stefan asked. This question caused me to automatically straighten and pull away from Elijah.

"That's what I want to know." Elena sneered and walked over to take my place on Elijah's lap. I rolled my eyes at the little human who obviously had a bigger bark than bite; I'll have to put her in her place before I'm done here.

"She's looking for Klaus," Damon answered for me.

"Si," Elijah's voice came out in a warning tone.

"What Elijah? Gonna keep me from killing him again?" I stood from the couch and walked over to Damon and stole his drink, quickly finishing it off for him. His eyebrows lifted in question and humor. "I'm going to need liquor if we are going to have this conversation."

"You can't kill Klaus," Elena spoke full of conviction. I rolled my eyes…I seem to do that a lot around this human. Damon smirked at me.

"Welcome to my world." He knew I found Elena annoying and obviously he did also.

"And yet you loved her," I threw back at him and saw the humor fall across his face.

"Liquors over here." Damon grabbed my hand and pulled me over to the wall full of various drinks.

"Si," once again my name fell from Elijah's mouth but as I turned to look at him I saw the questioning in his eyes. I can easily read his expressions as he can with me; he wanted to know about why I was being so nice to Damon.

"What? He's cute; it's hard not to like him." Damon looked up from the drink he was fixing me and smirked when he noticed we were talking about him.

"Ok enough stalling." Elena stood up and walked towards me and, to my utter surprise, stood face to face with me. Someone is definitely going to have to put this girl into her place.

"You. Can't. Kill. Klaus."

"Elena, don't talk to her like that." Elijah's voice now held a note of panic because he knew what was coming next, and I knew he wouldn't stop it.

Normally I'm a very levelheaded person but I have never taken kindly to those who think they can command me or scare me into anything. I felt my temper take over as I stepped closer to Elena; we stood toe to toe now, our noses almost touching.

"I've gone six hundred years searching for that son of a bitch and I'll be damned if I let you tell me I can't kill him. You need to realize, little girl, thatI could kill you right now, so learn your place. Just because Elijah feels for you doesn't mean I won't hurt you. And trust me, if it comes to that, Elijah won't stop me."

"Elijah loves me; he won't let you hurt me." Anyone could hear the conviction in her voice as she said this, but only I could see the fear and questioning beginning to unfold in her eyes.

"I lived with Elijah for four hundred years. He was my sire and pretty much my big brother, but as soon as I stepped out of line and was to be put into place for it, he was the first one to turn and leave. There is no doubt in my mind that he loves you, but you must understand Elijah is a fair man. If you deserve it, he won't shield you from it."

She stood there in disbelief to what I was telling her. I love Elijah and I know he has always loved me but that didn't stop him from turning me away in the past. I held no hard feelings towards him for it though. He is one of the only people I would give my life up for and he didn't deserve to have to put up with my past behavior.

"He left you to be killed? No, Elijah wouldn't do that to anyone."

I laughed at this.

"He didn't leave me to be killed Elena; he left me to kill myself. He tried to help me but in the end even he wasn't strong enough. Shocking I know."

By this time Elijah was standing beside us, pushing us slowly apart from each other.

"Si calm down," he commanded. Surprisingly Elena took a step towards me again. Now that Elijah stood between us, her courage had returned.

"I still think you're lying. Elijah wouldn't let you hurt me." I raised my eyebrows at Elijah in question.

"That's enough." Elena smirked thinking that Elijah was only reprimanding me. "Both of you." He looked directly to her. "If you bring it upon yourself I won't stop her, Elena. I love you, and I won't let her kill you but now you're just fueling a pissing match, so if she hurts you it's your own fault."

"But she can't kill Klaus."

"Oh dear Lord! Are you a broken record? You keep saying I can't kill him, yet you haven't given me a reason not to!" I finally snapped at her.

Her voice dropped in volume and now she spoke in almost a whisper. "If you kill Klaus then Elijah will die."

For one of the few times in all my years I was caught off guard.

"Elijah what is she talking about?"

Elijah let out a sigh, "Esther is alive."

"What do you mean she is alive?" I could feel my fury picking back up again. Who would be dumb enough to wake up the original witch!

"We woke her up," Stefan spoke up, answering my question as if he had read my mind.

"And why would you do that?"

"We all want Klaus dead, Si." This time it was Damon who spoke up. "So we woke up Esther thinking she would be the one to finish him off."

"What does this have to do with Elijah dying?"

"She casted a spell that linked all her children together," Damon continued to explain "If you kill one the rest will die also."

I couldn't help but let out an annoyed groan. "Well this makes things difficult."

Everyone simultaneously nodded in agreement with me.

"Okay, so we break the curse. Do you have a witch?" I asked no one in particular in the room.

"My friend Bonnie is looking for a spell right now," Elena answered but wouldn't look at me.

"A Bennett witch? Nice."

The room fell into a silence; no one had anything else to say, but the tension was slowly depleting from the room.

"Well, when the curse is broken I claim killing Klaus," I spoke with a light humor in my voice trying to squash the last lingering bit of tension in the room.

Stefan sat up straight and stared intently at me and asked the one question that everyone in the room aside from Elijah and Katerina, whom had lived through it, was wondering.

"What did Klaus do to you that makes you want to kill him so badly?"
