Elijah parked in the large driveway of the Mikaelson mansion, and Elena got out of the car. She shut her door and walked towards the front door. Elijah had caught up with her.
"I'll make sure Niklaus goes easy on you for the day," Elijah promised.
Elena nodded and gave him a small smile. "Thank you, Elijah. For everything."
Elijah nodded slightly. "It's not a problem at all."
Elena put her hand on the door knob and took a deep breath. She opened the front door and walked in.
"Welcome back, love," Klaus greeted with a grin.
Elena bit back a remark and nodded slightly.
"And how is the lovely Katerina?"
"Comatosed," Elena replied, frowning.
"How unfortunate. Until our Sleeping Beauty awakes, you will be taking her jobs as well as your own." Klaus smirked.
"Niklaus, go easy on her. She just lost her sister." Elijah scolded.
"She isnt dead," Elena muttered, but she swallowed, remembering the state of her sister the last time she saw her.
"It doesnt matter! People get hurt. Get over it!" Klaus roared.
"Niklaus! What would you do if I died? Or Rebekah died? Or Kol died? How did you feel when Finn and Henrik died?" Elijah questioned. "A coma isnt that different except there is a chance she will wake up!"
"Don't you dare bring Henrik or Finn up!" Klaus yelled.
Elena swallowed, listening to the two of them.
"Elena, go to your room, please. You don't need to be in the middle of this," Elijah said.
"She is staying here," Klaus disagreed, narrowing his eyes.
"Niklaus, let her have some time alone!" Elijah exclaimed.
Klaus growled slightly but nodded.
Elena went to her room, trying to ignore the fighting that continued.
She remembered the stories she was told. Henrik was no more than 11 or 12 when he was killed by a wolf. Nobody knew the full story of why he was out there, but it was an unfortunate occurrence. He hasn't even gotten to be a teenager. Poor kid. As children, the Mikaelson's lived near the woods. Elena assumed that was how it happened. The wolf came out of the woods or Henrik was too curious.
Finn on the otherhand, wasn't much of a mystery. He had killed himself. He apparently couldnt enjoy his life or something. Elena didnt know the story behind it either. All she knew was that it devistated his girlfriend, Sage. She disappeared not long after that.
Elena was curious as to where Sage disappeared to. She had never met Sage, but she had heard some about her. She liked to fight, and she was heads over heals for Finn, that was before Finn died of course. Not many people enjoyed the company of Finn, which was probably because of his low spirits, but Elena wouldn't be surprised if the lack of company helped lead to his death.
Elena sat on her bed on the second floor. Her door was open, so she could hear their yells. She sighed and stood up before closing the door to block it out. Elena laid on her bed and thought about her sister.
6 years ago
Elena and Katherine had just moved in to the Mikaelson mansion. They finally had separate rooms. Elena unpacked her belongings in her drawers even though the Mikaelsons said they would buy her new clothes.
She had made sure to bring her diary, that she managed to keep away from Katherine all of the years she had it. It was given to her as a gift. She slid it behind the nightstand by her bed. She wasn't going to risk the Mikaelsons or her sister finding it.
Elena looked around her room, still feeling sore. Her room was connected to a bathroom, and so she took a warm shower. At first, she winced, the hot water touching her wounds, but eventually it soothed her and felt good. She never had hot water before this. Isobel and Katherine had used it all up before she got a chance.
She changed into pajamas and heard a knock on her door. Elena wondered who it could be. She opened her bedroom door and saw Katherine.
"What do you want?" Elena asked
Katherine smirked. "I just wanted to inform you, sister of mine, that you are not let off the hook just because we arent at home. I am still here. And you are still the inferior sister"
"Your point?" Elena questioned, tired.
"I dont have a point. I just thought you should know that deal with Klaus doesnt take away how I treat you," Katherine said
"Just go away!" Elena complained.
"Fine. Night, sis," Katherine said and left the room.
Elena closed her door and laid on her bed. Her eyes closed
A knock on the door pulled Elena out of her memory. She got up and opened it. Her eyes widened in surprise. "Elijah"
"I am sorry if I startled you. That was not my intention."
"Then what are you doing here?" Elena asked.
"I wanted to apologise for my brother's behavior tonight. He should not have acted like that."
"It is alright, Elijah."
"No, it is not. I have managed to calm him down for a bit, but I do not know gow long it will last," Elijah told her.
Elena nodded. "Thank you."
Elijah nodded. "Your welcome. If there is anything I can do for you, Elena, please let me know."
"You dont have to do anything. You were in love with her. It hurts you about as much as it hurts me."
"You arent wrong... but I will always be here for you, Elena," Elijah said.
Elena smiled at the statement. "You really are a noble man, Elijah."
Elijah smiled.
"Goodnight," Elena said.
"Goodnight, Elena," Elijah said
Suddenly, Elijah did something that surprised them both. He leaned closer to her and kissed her cheek. He pulled away and looked into Elena's chocolate colored eyes.
"Sleep well, Elena Gilbert," Elijah Mikaelson said in a quiet voice.
