Elena grumbled as she rolled from her bed, hair in a messy bun messed up from sleep. She walked through the silent dark house rubbing her eyes. As she got to the kitchen, something stopped her. She bent backwards and noticed a soft glow emanating from a room down the hall.
Chewing on her bottom lip she contemplated. Oh what the hell? Sighing she moved down the hall and turned into the room. Stopping at the sight of Elijah. His back was to her and he was hunched over, reading something. "Ahem." She cleared her throat and his body straightened, before turning.
"Elena." That was her name. Say something, please, say something. Elena talking to you. "Oh! I-I'm sorry, Elijah I didn't think anyone else was in here. Light on, should have put the pieces together . . . what are you doing?" She asked, her curiosity getting the best of her.
He blinked, as if trying to get out of a daze. "I was just reading. A pregnant vampire, might still be placing everyone in shock, but we do need an explanation." He states glancing at her before turning back and continuing to read. He looked . . . tenser than before though. Elena inhaled and stared at his back. He was tall. Taller than her at least and in the black dress shirt from earlier.
He sighed and closed the book turning to her and placing his hands on his hips. It was adorable. Elena pressed her lips together to keep from smiling. "Elena, may I help you?" He asks and she shrugs.
"I couldn't sleep and I'd actually like to know your theories." He turned back inhaling and grumbled something that not even her vampire abilities caught.
"I don't have any at the moment, still researching." He states watching her out of the corner of his eye. Why did she have to wear shorts that barely existed? Why did she have to look so good when she was tired? Why did she have to look exactly like Katerina, yet remind him nothing of her? Why was he talking to himself? Elijah shook his head and then back at Elena who continued to watch him.
"Well don't linger in the doorway." He muttered and she huffed, "Well thank you, your majesty." She grumbled walking along the wall and his lips twitched up as he stared down at his book.
"I was just . . . trying to examine the area." She states sucking in a breath, trying to make her voice sound casual.
"Examine the- Elena what are you talking about?" He asked, his voice clipped.
"Well, the last time I was in your presence, I ended up with a broken neck, they're uncomfortable." She states, crossing her arms and staring into his eyes. They lowered before glancing back up. "Yes and the last time I was in your presence you didn't give a damn about anything, my feelings, or your own, so do us both a favor and don't complain about it now." He growled low turning back to his book.
She shook her head and looked off to the side, pulling her bottom lip between her teeth and blinking back misty tears. "Elijah." She murmured and he kept his back to her.
"Elijah, please-."
"What is it?" He asks facing her and closing the book shut, an annoyed look passing his features.
"What I said." She started, rubbing her arms and squirming in her own skin.
"I'm sorry, it wasn't right what I had said or thrown in your face. Katherine did lo-." He cut her off again.
"Elena." He swallowed looking off before back at her, a move he'd done countless times in the past.
"I was not upset over your . . . disdain with Katerina. I was, however, upset with your lack of morality. I lost one woman to that once and seeing you in that fashion was . . . just a little more than I could have bared, especially since I kissed you. I didn't want our first kiss to be like that." He states turning from her and she watched him.
Her eyes searching space, a tear fell down her cheek, "Our first?" She was cut off by seeing that he no longer vacated the room. She covered her mouth, a wet sob shuddering from her.
Author's Note: Ooh! Poor Elena. Alright so tell me what you thought about those types of scenes and if you all want anymore or should I just stick to Caroline major point of view. Feedback is totally welcome! Alright, bye, bye!
