So, I know I didn't get any more reviews, but I truly could not help myself. Hope someone is reading.

7. The storm is coming.

Elijah awoke with a start, looking wildly around at his surroundings. Katherine was there, or was it Elena. No, it was definitely Katherine. He frowned, not sure why she was there, her hand was on his chest and she actually looked panicked. But the minute Elijah's eyes focused on her, her face turned back to the normal, Katheriney face that Elijah had, well, grown accustomed to.

He sat up and glared at her. 'You gave them the dagger' he accused, hitting her hand away from him. Elijah regrated it, the moment the words escaped his lips. Katherine's face turned cold, any emotion that was there, was now gone and buried in her. 'Actually, the stupid witch attacked me and Damon took it from me… Speaking of the delicious Damon, he and Stefan are upstairs and I expect they will be awakening soon' she told him snarkily, standing up and turning towards the door.

Elijah followed her frowning 'Well thank you Katerina, I guess, for not handing it to them willingly… I assume you have it now?' he asked her, looking around casually remembering Elena being in the room. She was, however, no longer there and he turned back to Katherine who was looking at him with a strange smile. 'Notice something missing?' she asked him tilting her head to the side and grinning wickedly.

'I have taken Elena, all part of the plan you see…' she whispered smiling at him sweetly. Elijah's frown deepened 'and what plan is this Katerina?' he asked her, moving towards her so they were now inches away from each other. Elijah was trying to control his thoughts while he tried to seduce her, but he was struggling. She smirked at him and allowed him to advance, Elijah could tell she was not planning on saying anything. Elijah frowned and began walking away, because he knew that if he didn't he would surely end up doing something he regret.

'I need her, so I can give her to Klaus in exchange for my freedom' she whispered, not looking at him, just looking ahead. 'I figured that because I ruined the ritual for him last time, I would help him do it this time.' She finished, looking at her feet. Then it all dawned on Elijah. 'That Lockwood boy, you made him turn so Niklaus could use him, and Caroline…' Elijah smiled at how well thought out Katherine's plan was.

He turned back to her and kept his face straight, with the slightest hint of amusement. 'You think he will forgive you for making him wait 500 years longer than was necessary?' he laughed at her, she glared at him. Elijah moved back over to her until their faces were millimetres from each other's, finally he seemed to be having some impact on her, she let out a breath. It washed over his face and made his hairs stand on end.

'Katerina' he whispered, his breath washing over her now, she made a strange sound, like she was trying to control herself and she whispered back 'Yes?'. Elijah's nerves were astounding, he could not believe himself for what he was about to do. He didn't like that he wanted to but he did. He really really wanted to kiss her. And that is exactly what he did.

Katherine let out a breath of air as he moved closer to her. 'Katerina?' he whispered, his breath washing over her. Katherine couldn't compose herself any longer, she made a noise, a strangled exasperated noise. 'Yes?' she whispered back breathily, wanting him to kiss her badly. Wanting him to prove to her that someone still cared. And that is what he did. The second his lips touched hers Katherine lost control completely. She kissed him back softly and hungrily at the same time, she deepened the kiss, pushing him back against the wall. But this was Elijah. She could not control him the way she had controlled others in the past.

Elijah pulled her around and slammed her into the wall, returning his lips to hers hungrily, not daring to think about anything, just letting himself go, for once in his life! He trailed his hands down her leg, which she had wrapped around his hips somewhere in the process. She was moaning slightly now, kissing him back with such force that Elijah had to force himself away.

They couldn't. This was Katherine. The one girl who he had vowed never to let her control him. He pulled back and looked at her, he begged himself not to continue kissing her, as much as he wanted to. Katherine actually looked hurt that he had pulled away and she turned away and began walking out. Elijah let her go, not wanting to follow in case he did something... again.

Katherine walked from the house, not letting herself think about what had just happened. The pain in her heart at his rejection was the worst kind of pain she had ever felt. Of course, it was the first time she had been rejected, and it was certainly having a strange effect on her. One which she could not have anticipated at all.

She tried to stop the tears before they came, she willed herself not to cry. But of course, as everything was going wrong for her that day, this was too. The hot tears fell from her eyes, and she struggled not to make any noise, knowing that the second she did Elijah would be out there with her, determined to torment her. Katherine stomped away from the house, creating a path of destruction, knocking down trees as she past them.

Katherine was angry at herself for kissing him, angry at him for kissing her. Katherine frowned and swore to herself, regretting it almost instantly as she realised Elijah was standing behind her. She spun and glared at him. 'What?' she asked him snappily.

Elijah just frowned back and kissed her, sliding his hands around her waist, pulling her close to him. Katherine frowned at first, tempted to push him away. But then she let him continue. She didn't kiss him back, but she didn't move. Katherine was hating herself for her emotions, but she knew that should could no longer resist, she kissed him back pulled his face closer to hers. She jumped up and wrapped her legs around his hips, Elijah let out a soft moan against her lips and pressed her against the tree.

Neither of them could truly understand the implications this encounter would place on their relationship, but at that moment they certainly didn't care. They wanted each other, and they had each other.

So, this chapter made me happy. Please review, tell me what you like or don't like. :D Makes my day.
