Here is another chapter. Hope you like it!

She closed the door behind her sharply and leaned against them. She closed her eyes and recalled everything that Elijah just said to her.

It can't be true, he must be wrong, she said to herself. I feel that my love some Damon wasn't real but how can I feel it, when my emotions are off? This is ridiculous! And very confusing!

Then she remembered Elijah's eyes, their depth. He was so sure of what he was saying. He really believed it, even though he never actually experienced it. Then she looked at her right hand, her fingers. These fingers were attracted to his, just for a split of a second; but they were. And she could still feel it.

"Grr, oh my god, what's happening to me," she talked to herself and started to walk from wall to a wall.

You just need to calm yourself down, suppress whatever it is you're starting to fell.

"Picture it, yes; that could work," she said sitting on the bed.

Imagine a wall; a wall inside your head, your heart. It is massive and it stands between you and your emotions. All the pain, all the guilt, everything. And it stands and it is strong!

She let out a sigh. Everything was back to normal. She was solid again.

She got up from the bed and went to look though the books in her room.

Elijah was still. He scared her. But how can emotionless vampire be scared? He felt that need again. The one he felt when he sat with her in the Lockwood mansion.

"You found a way to save the life of the doppelgänger? " Elena looked at him in a shock when she realized he could be a solution to her survival.

"Yes, Elena," he said looking up to her. "I did."

The one he felt when she stabbed herself in front of him at the lake house.

"I'm gonna have to call your bluff," he said hoping she won't take it as far as she was shadowing to. But then he saw it in her eyes; all of it. Resolve. Courage. Decision.

And the she did it. She stabbed herself.

A need to help her; to save her.

He made his decision. He no longer cared about getting Katherine back. He knew that as long as he had Elena, the Salvatores won't let anything happen to her; and here was a Petrova doppelganger who was actually worth saving.

He needed plan. He needed something to make her feel again. And as an original vampire, he had it. Compulsion was not one of his favorite skills but she needed it. And he was running out of time.

"Elena?" he was at her door, knocking.

"I'm not in a mood, Elijah. What do you want?"

"Elena," he said and walking in, "we need to talk."

"About what, huh? What do you wanna talk about, Elijah? More sire bond crap? Or how about your psychic bitchy girlfriend who killed my brother?" she was outrage. "Take you pick," and sarcastic.

"Neither. I wanna talk about you," he said and she sat on the bed. "I mean; look at you. This isn't you. This is not the girl I met in an old abandoned building in the middle of nowhere."

He walked through the door and then he saw her. Katherine? No, this wasn't Katherine. They looked the same but right from the first sight he could tell it wasn't her. He needed to be sure. In a second he was in front of her. Looking at her.

She was scared. So scared.

He leaned closer. His breath was on her face, her cheek, her throat. So close. And she was scared out of her mind.

"Human," he said.

"It's impossible. Hello there."

"A girl willing to make a deal with the devil just to keep her family safe."

"How do I know you're telling the truth?" she was a little concern that an original is in her bedroom but she wasn't stupid. How was she supposed to trust him?

"Well, if I wasn't being truthful, all your family would be dead and I'd be taking you to Klaus right now," he was just making a point but the thought of it made Elena chill. "Instead, here I am and I'm prepared to offer you a deal."

"What kind of a deal?"

"A girl who wanted to know the truth about her fate just to learn that she didn't have any."

"The final part of the ritual. Klaus must drink the blood of the doppelganger. To the point of your death," he said explaining everything they're about to experience.

"What if it doesn't work, Elena?" Damon was so concern about losing her. He always has.

"Then I guess I'll just be dead."

"A girl who was willing to sacrifice herself because it was that simple."

"You'd think he'd understand why I'm willing to do this," she hoped Damon would. But he's always been this way. Trying to protect her. But this was her choice.

"Why are you?" Elijah asked her. He wanted to know why. As a human or as a vampire he hadn't come to touch to a soul like Elena's. Willing to sacrifice everything – her own life – for those she loved.

"I'm the key to breaking the curse. Klaus is here because of me. If I don't stop him, then he's gonna hurt people," she needed to do this. "It's that simple."

"You know there is a possibility this elixir won't work. I don't want to mislead you," he looked into her chocolate eyes that were now looking at him as well.

"I know the chance I'm taking."

"A girl who always wanted to help others."

"She wants to kill us all, doesn't she?" he said like he already knew that. Deep down. "She wants to undo the evil she created."

"I'm so sorry, Elijah. I wish there was something I could do to help," she really did wanna help him. She wanted to save him, just like he wanted to save her from Klaus.

"You know, one thing I've learned with my time on this Earth… be careful what you wish for."

Elena was looking at him trying to figure out what was his attention for bringing this out. She stood up to face him.

"And I want her back, Elena. I want to help you to be that girl again," he moved closer to her.

"No, you don't, Elijah. That girl was weak, fragile, human, even when she was a vampire."

"Yes, human, full of compassion and love," one step closer. He looked deep into her eyes.

"Turn it on!"
