Chapter 9

I do not own The Vampire Diaries in any way.

A/N-The lovers are reunited.


I woke up this morning and dialed Elijah's number.

"Darling", he said.

"I knew you were okay", I said.

"That young man is dead", he growled.

"Now Elijah", I said, "You're stupid if you think for one second that I would let you kill my brother".

"That's your brother?" he asked.

"One of them", I told him.

"I will return for you soon", he said.

"I love you", I told him.

"I love you too", he said hanging up.

I sighed and decided that I should probably get up. I quickly checked that the moonstone was still in my jewelry box. I heard a knock on my door.

Damon walked in. "Well Mrs. Original, good morning. Come downstairs", he said.

"I'm not a Mrs.…yet", I told him, "He's hasn't asked me yet".

Damon rolled his eyes and I went downstairs.

I found Elena and Rose there with Stefan. "And what, pray tell, are they doing here?" I asked Stefan.

"Rose is going to tell us about Klaus. Would you like to help?" he asked.

I laughed and said, "I love how clueless you guys are, but I'd rather not rat on Klaus". I sat down on the couch.

We all listened Rose as she talked about Klaus.

"Who is he?" Elena asked.

"He's one of the originals", I explained.

"From the first generation of vampires", Stefan said.

"Like Elijah?" Elena asked.

"No. Elijah was the Easter bunny compared to Klaus. He's a foot soldier. Klaus is the real deal", Rose said.

I giggled and everyone looked at me. "Sorry, but trust me, Elijah is nothing like the Easter bunny", I said.

Stefan ignored me and said, "Klaus is known to be the oldest".

"Okay, so you're saying that the oldest vampire in the history of time is coming after me?" Elena asked.

"Please, Klaus is not going to set foot in this small town without a reason", I said.

"In other words, yes", Rose said.

"No", Stefan said.

"Okay, hold up", I said, "Klaus is not going to come, because he probably doesn't even know that Elena even exists. How do you guys know if he still thinks Katherine is dead? How did you even know she existed?"

"That's none of your business", Rose snapped.

I rolled my eyes and shut-up. I pulled out my phone and text, "Found the doppelganger. Talk later".

"Look, Elijah's dead, right? So no one else even knows that you exist", Stefan said.

"Not that you know of", Rose said sneaking a glance at me.

"That's not helping", Damon said.

"Look, I've never even met anyone who's laid eyes on him, besides Emilia. I mean, we're talking centuries of truth mixed with fiction. We don't know if he's real. For all we know he could just be some sort of stupid bed time story", Stefan said.

"He's real and he doesn't give up. If he wants something, he gets it. If you're not afraid of Klaus, then you're an idiot", Rose said looking directly at me.

"Okay, so Klaus does scare me a bit, but he's also sweet and can be quite charming", I said.

Elena got up and announced she was going to school.

"What about you?" Damon asked.

"I'm gonna hang around", I told him. In reality, I was getting out of here and back to Elijah. I grabbed my important things. I decided to leave the moonstone and come back for it later. I quickly left the house and went to the old Salvatore property. I sent a text to Elijah, 'Come get me'.

His SUV drove up a couple minutes later. He got out and I ran into his arms.

No words were said as we just cherished being in each other's arms again.

This was I belonged. This was home.

"Come", he said.

I got in the SUV and Elijah drove to an apartment building somewhere on the outskirts of Mystic Falls.

He grabbed my stuff for me and led me inside. "Jonas, this is my mate Emilia and she'll be staying with us", Elijah said, "I have some stuff to take care of. You can stay here or explore the town". Before he left, he kissed me on the forehead.

I spent the rest of the afternoon unpacking my stuff and found that Elijah had kept my clothes from all the times we had been together. I changed into my designer clothes. I layed on the bed and noticed it smelled like Elijah.

Oh how I missed this.


Later that day I got a call from Damon.

"Whatever you know about Klaus, you'd better spill it now", he said.

"Now why would I tell you?" I asked him.

"Now", Damon growled.

"Original, 1000 years old or so", I told him.

"But you know him. You could get in touch with him, right?" he asked.

"And what? You want me to lure him out, because he trusts me?" I asked him, "Hell no. I'm not going to piss off Klaus, because no matter what my connection to Elijah, he will kill me".

"Wait. How is Elijah connected to Klaus?" Damon asked.

"Figure it out yourself", I told him and hung up.


Elijah came back late. "You're still up", he said.

"Yeah, I was waiting for you", I told him.

"You didn't need to", he said.

"I haven't seen you in forever", I said. I got up and wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my face in his chest. I felt him kiss my head.

"Go get ready for bed. I'll join you soon", he said.

I nodded and went into the bedroom. I slipped into some sweatpants and a tank top. I was brushing my hair when he came up behind me.

He slipped his arms around my waist and brought me closer to him.

I set my brush down and turned. I grabbed his head and kissed him. Before I knew it, I was up against the wall.

Elijah was kissing my neck.

I grabbed onto his shirt and pulled him to the bedroom. "I love you", I whispered.

"I love you too, my darling", he whispered back.
