Chapter Eight: Off limits

Tennessee-

Rebehah turned on her bed. Something was nagging at her. Something was pulling on the edge of her memories and she couldn't seem to place it. There was something there and she was sure that something had to do with the man Elijah.

He was so sweet and She felt like he always had been, yet she had just met him. Still there was something. Again she turned, closing her eyes. Where would she go from here? May New Orleans. She love it there. The people, even the witches. Maybe she could find Klau...Rebekah shot up. Elijah. She sat in shock as the memories waved in. Of course, she was in search for them. For her family.

She looked around. She felt for the first time in years she was able to see everything clearly. All her wants and all her feelings finally made sense. She remembered early. She thought as she calculated in her head how long it had been. Was she the only one? Would Elijah believe her if she tried to tell him

who she was?


Viginia-Mystic Falls

"So Stefan is a vampire?" Anna asked almost as if she were waiting for Eliyah to yell 'Gotcha'. She began to nod slowly when she realized she was being serious. "And you are a witch, does that mean there are other supernaturals out there?"

"Um werewolves." Eliyah answered hoping Anna could take it.

"Well of course werewolves." Anna said with a small laugh. This was so much to take in.

"You okay?" Eliyah asked unsure. She could see Anna take in a deep breath.

"Should we worry about Stefan's diet?" Anna wanted to know.

"No, I mean he does drink blood, but they do not have to kill those they feed on."

"So there are people walking around with memories of being fed on?" Anna said appalled.

Eliyah had to laugh at Anna's expression. "No, they have mind compulsion. They make people forget."

"Okay," Anna said. "And their blood heals...Hey why don't they give their blood to the sick and dying? I mean can it cure cancer? Can they help those who have been seriously injured?"

"Well, the thing is, if you die with their blood in your system then you will turn into a vampire. It would be too risky."

"Okay," Anna said with a smile. She was a bit freaked out, but she would be okay. She was a bit freaked out when she learned Eli was a witch, and she was fine after a few hours. Not that a vampire is anything like a witch. Still if Stefan was going to kill them wouldn't he have done so already?

"Wait how is it he can walk in the sun?" Anna asked suddenly.

"His ring, a witch put a charm on it and it allows the wearer to walk in the sunlight."

"Cool," Anna said then smiled at Eli. "I can handle this you know. I am not a child." She said knowing Eliyah was worried for her.

"I know, but I can't help but to worry. You know me."

Anna took Eliyah's hand. "I know, but I am going to go for a short walk. I will stay close." Anna added when Eliyah gave her an unsure expression.

"Okay, just be careful." Eliyah said.

"You are going to make a great mother." Stefan said with a smile.

Eliyah smiled back. "I hope so. Although I have not given it much thought."

Stefan sat where Anna had been sitting. "You haven't thought about it at all?" Stefan asked a little surprised.

Eliyah shrugged. "I guess it's because I was in foster care. I can't help but wonder why my family didn't want me? Was it because they were young? Or maybe I was a bad baby? But what if it was because they just weren't good parents?" Eliyah shrugged. "I guess it doesn't really matter. I have to date before I can think of children."

"You have nothing to worry about. Any guy would be lucky to have you." Stefan said.

"What about you? Would you be lucky to have me?" Eliyah asked. She had decided last night she needed to see where they stood.

Stefan looked to be in thought for a moment. "I can't give you kids," He said shaking his head. "I can't give you much of a future. I don't age, but you will." Stefan saw the hurt on her face. "You are to good for me."

The tone in his voice had her looking up. "Stefan, it is not possible." She look his hand and gave it a squeeze. She moved closer to him. Would he be made if she kissed him? She had wanted to kiss him for so long. She took his face in her hands. "You are such a good person Stefan. You need to know that. You need to know that whatever it is that makes you feel unworthy is wrong. You deserve to be happy."

Her words filled him like air would fill a balloon. He didn't give it a second thought before he moved quickly, placing his lips on hers. He could feel her stiffen in surprise, then she seemed to hae melted as his arms went around her. She kissed him back and he had to admit it was nice.

They pulled apart and smiled at each other. Again their lips met and this time the kiss was deeper. She allowed him to lay her back on the sofa, as she ran her hands down in muscular back. She loved the feel of him. The wight of him on her. Stefan shivered as her hands ran down his back. He liked this. The feel of her under him. He liked the feel of her warm soft skin.

"Well this is awkward." A male voice said.

Stefan moved so quickly Eliyah almost missed it. He brought her up with him and she found both of them standing behind the sofa, her behind him. "Who are you?" He asked even though he thought somehow they were familiar.

"I am Damon, and this is my house." Damon said barely able to hide the smile. He really did miss his little brother, who clearly did not remember yet. He glanced at Elena. She looked hurt.

"Stefan," She said moving forward.

Stefan took a step back, forcing Eliyah back with him. "Who do you know my name?" he asked confused.

"I know that this is confusing, but Stefan its me, Elena." Elena said. She wished she could hide the hurt better. For some reason she had thought when she saw him again he would know who she was.

"Elena?" Stefan asked. That's why she was familiar. She was the girl from his dreams. He shook his head. "Your not real."

"I am Stefan, you just have to remember." Elena said in a pleading tone.

"Um, What's going on?" Anna asked as she walked into the room. She looked over at the male and female she did not know. "Hey, I know you." She said to the guy. "You are the guy who saved me and my friend from the asshole in the woods."

Eliyah looked at him. Oh that is where she knew him from. She thought he looked familiar. "You are him," She said. The guy looked at her and gave her a cocky grin.

"I have no idea what you two are talking about." He said confidently.

"Okay I think we all need to take a minute." Stefan said. "You two do not plan on hurting us, right?" He asked Damon and Elena.

"Sure, as long as you get out of my house." Damon said with a wink.

"Damon!" Elena said as she rolled her eyes. "We are not here to hurt anyone. This is your house too. I am Elena," She said, turning her attention to the girls. "And this is Damon."

"Hold on," Anna said as she shook her head. "This is your house and you never said anything?" She asked Stefan.

"I have no idea what she is talking about. I have never been here before." Stefan said to Anna. Eliyah left his side and went to Anna. She didn't like her standing away from them. Stefan looked at Eliyah. "I swear I do not know these people."

"He is telling the truth," Elena said. "However he does now us. He just doesn't remember." She went around the sofa to be closer to him. "Stefan you have to try to remember." Elena plead again. She knew it was irrational, but it hurt that he couldn't remember. She put her hands on his face. "Stefan?"

Stefan looked into her eyes. He felt deeply for her and for her he wished he could remember what she wanted him to remember. He took her wrist in his hands. "I'm sorry." He said as he removed her hands. "I just don't remember."

"I am Eliyah," She said taking the attention from Stefan. "This is Anna."

Elena looked at her. "So you and Stefan?"

"Oh, um," Eliyah said unsure what they were.

"We are," Stefan said, saving her from her embarrassment.

Elena worked to hide the hurt. She had no right to be upset, but still she did. "Don't hurt him." She said after a moment. "Stefan needs someone who wont hurt him."

"I don't plan on it." Eliyah said. She looked at Stefan who gave her a small smile.

"Okay well this is awkward." Anna said breaking the silence.

"I agree." Damon said sarcastically. He went to Elena. "Can we talk for a moment, alone?"

Elena said nothing as she followed him up to his room. It was so odd being back in this house. Hell it was odd being back in Mystic Falls period. "We have to find a way to contact the witch who cast the spell. We need to know where Jeremy and Matt are." She said the moment he closed the door.

"Where are we in this relationship Elena?" He asked ignoring her.

Elena paused where she stood. That was one question she could not answer. "I don't know Damon." She said, as she ran her hand through her hair. "Maybe no where for now. I need time to think. I don't want to hurt anyone."

"To late," Damon said in his' I don't care but I do' tone.

Elena looked at him with sadness. "Don't do that Damon. Before all of this you broke up with me remember? I am just trying to do the right thing. The next time I choose it will be the last time I do. I don't want to be Katherine."

"Elena Stefan is with that girl. What makes you think he will want you when he remembers?" Damon said knowing he was just blowing smoke.

"I don't Damon. But it doesn't change anything. As of now, I am of limits to both of you. I need time." She walked off. She hated to hurt him. She hated to hurt Stefan. If she really wanted to o the right thing she would leave the both of them alone. But selfishly she couldn't and she knew that they wouldn't accept that either.
