It was dark by the time I heard Eli gasp for air. I sat up from my spot on the stairs to see him puling the stake out looking half dead still, but ready to kill. I stand up and start walking towards him,"Eli?" He looks at me, eyes softening and his body wasn't as tence as relief flashed in his eyes."Jade?" I smiled,"Nice to know you remember when to call me that." I tell him happily. He smiled, but quickly turned serious,"Your a vampire?" He asked, though it was more of a statement.

I mentally groaned,"Yes Eli but let me explain-" I was cut off by him putting his hand up, silencing me. I looked down. I know he never wanted me to be a vampire, it wasn't exactly on my bucket list either but it still happened."Who turned you?" he asked patiently, but I could tell he was planning there death mentally. "Katherine. Damon killed her new boy toy and she got pissed." I tell him carefully. He smirked slightly,"Ah, Katerina..."

I waited for him to say more, to scold me, yell at me, anything. Nothing came,"Is that all?" I asked slowly not wanting to triger anything. He smirked at me,"Well, what were you expecting?" I tilt my head slightly,"I don't know, yelling, scolding, possibly a smack on the head for good measure." I tell him in a duh tone. "Is that what you wish or-" "No!" I quickly interupt him. When he shoots me an amused look I laughed. Then, I full speed hugged him,"I missed you Eli." He returns the hug breathing in my scent. "I missed you to, Jade." I could here the smile in his voice.

Then something occured to me making me pull back then without hesitation, smack him. His head swung to the left as his whole body stiffend. He starts using his hand to move his jaw around,"What was the purpose of that?" I glared at him. Did he really not get why I just hit him? "Seriously?" I ask him annoyed.

He looks confused as ever making me even more angry,"You left, Eli. You left on 'buisness' then never came back, it sucked. You know I just figured out today that I was helping Rose and Trevor run from you? After you left, I met them and they took care of me as long as I helped them find a good hiding spot. We became friends, till I ran from them to Chicago in a poor atempt to start over. Now you had to go and kill Trevor. Is that why you left me Elijah? To catch your enemies like prey and kill them? Was I but a nusance and a distraction for your life?" I ranted, first yelling and pacing, then practicly choking on my words at the end.

He looked genuinly shocked by my ranting and flinched when I called him by his full name knowing just how pissed I was. Then he looked just plain appaled at the last bit, like I was insane to think it. "Jade, after I left I was daggered by Niklaus once again for about a month. When I had finally returned home, you weren't there. I thought you were dead since all your stuff was still there except the baseball cap of yours. I never thought I'd see you again let alone that you were helping the enemy. I had to kill Trevor for betrayl against my family. Now, know that you are no nusance and certaintly no distraction. You were like a daughter to me Jade."

I immidiatly feel bad for snapping at him, I didn't mean to my emotions are slightly haywire still. I nodded at him understanding but then realize something,"Nikky again?" I groaned at him. He chuckled lowly at the nickname I had chosen for his brother not long ago. "I have a feeling Niklaus will be making an appearance soon." Eli informed me. Dang, I really didn't want to see him again. "Nothing will happen to you, I give you my word." I sigh. "It isn't me I'm worried about." I gave him another hug,"Bye Eli, love you." I say into his chest. "I love you to, Jade."
