Elijah's POV

He had followed Kol out of the house. Something about last night was bothering him. He knew his brother, probably better than any of their other siblings, and Kol had acted off last night. He seemed to be forcing his normal attitude. He had been so mad that he didn't think any about it at first, just yelled at Kol to get home and sped off.

But once home, he couldn't shake the feeling that Kol was hiding something. So when he heard Kol get up early and make his way out of the house, he got up; got dressed and shadowed him.

He followed him through town and into the Tavern. He was a little surprised to see Kol sit down at a table with a human. The young man seemed startled at first but quickly relaxed. Elijah had seen the human before and it took only a minute for him to remember when.

Him and Klaus where talking to owner of Tavern. Klaus was compelling the poor man to do something for him, Elijah hadn't really been paying attention. He was looking around the room, when he heard someone's heart beat pick up. Elijah knew fear when he heard it. Curious he had followed the sound, only to see a young man making his way down the stairs. While on the inside the young man's heart was beating erratic, the outside seemed calm. He had spoken politely and then left.

Elijah had found it strange but Klaus had called his attention to something else and he had forgotten all about the human. Now seeing the human again with his brother, he remembers how scared he had been when he had seen them. Elijah suspected the human knew what they were. Now he had to know who he was and what he was up too.

As he approached the table, he saw Kol tense. Elijah smiled as his brother had noticed him, but the human hadn't. So he pulled out a chair and sat down. Causing the human to look up at him, he young man's eyes widen. Just for an instant then it was gone.

"Kol who is you're new friend?" he asked. He was hoping to get the human to talk. Instead is brother glared at him. Elijah didn't care that Kol didn't want him here; he was more worried about protecting his family from any potential harm.

He glared back at Kol, waiting for his brother to give up. While staring at his brother, Elijah heard the humans breathing quicken and could smell the anxiety coming from him. He was about to break eye contact with Kol to watch the human; when Kol turned his eyes away. Kol went to introduce the human, but his idiot brother had never even asked the human his name. Elijah wanted to yell at him for being careless. Their father was hunting them and it was not beneath him to use humans to get to them.

Elijah watched as the human found his voice.

"Jeremy." Elijah didn't miss the humans voice crack, though his brother didn't seem to notice. "I'm Jeremy." Then Jeremy asked them their names. But something about the way he acted and looked told Elijah that he already knew who they were.

Elijah held in his annoyance as his brother casually introduced them. He was really going to have to talk to his brother about his lack of self-preservation.

While the young Jeremy, tried to seem unfocused and even said it was nice to meet them, Elijah could feel the fear and tension radiating off him. As Elijah watched the human looked about to leap from the table and run. Elijah was a little impressed that the young man hadn't tried to get away yet.

When neither his brother nor Jeremy said anything Elijah decided to try and gain some information while he could.

"What are you doing in Sherborne Jeremy?" He asked. To Elijah's annoyance a young woman walked up behind Jeremy and interrupted them, "I thought you were eating alone, Mr. Gilbert." She sounded angry.

Watch he saw next confirmed that the human was up to something. At the sound of the woman's voice Jeremy had frozen. His heart beat intensified and his smell when from fear to pure panic.

Elijah didn't give the human a chance to run, he looked at his brother, "Why don't you stay and entertain this nice young woman." He then walked around the table and took Jeremy's arm and pulled him away. Once he dragged the human outside, he speed off towards the house.

He could feel the young man struggle and was surprised with the strength he possessed.

When he reached the house, he listened to see if Klaus was inside. He wasn't. So Elijah opened the door and through the man against the nearest wall.

As Jeremy hit the wall Elijah quickly raced over and grabbed him by his throat. He held the man against the wall, and kept his hand just tight enough that it allowed the human to breath. Then he stared into the human's eyes and pushed compulsion.

"Who are you?" Elijah commanded.

"Jeremy Gilbert." Jeremy wheezed out. Jeremy had brought up his hand and was tried to prey Elijah's' fingers from around his throat. He would succeed so Elijah ignored him.

"What are you doing here?" He

The human laughed. Well he attempted to, it was constricted by Elijah's grip but he could tell it was meant to be a laugh.

"I'm stuck here." The human added after he stopped trying to laugh.

Elijah tightened his fingers. He didn't find any of this amusing.

"What do you mean you are stuck here?"

He could hear the human gasping for air, trying to take in more air then Elijah's hand would allow.

"I mean I'm stuck here, in this town in this…" the human tried to stop talking. Elijah watched as the human tried to fight the compulsion to answer. But he wouldn't be able too. So Elijah just waited.

"In this time." It came out low, a whisper that Elijah wasn't sure he heard right. He grew angry that somehow the human fought the compulsion and lied. He wasn't in the mood for stupid jokes. So he growled and let his eyes change, he could feel his eyes darken and take on their vampiric form, his fangs descended and he gave the human a slight shake.

"What was that?" he growled.

"In this time, Elijah I'm telling the truth. You know I am. I can't lie when being compelled!" The human was shaking under his hand. His terror had caused his body to shake beyond his control.

There was no way this human would be joking right now. The boy was beyond scared. Elijah was confused but there was something about the familiar way Jeremy said his name. Like he knew him that caused Elijah to loosen his hand and let the young man fall on to his knees.

"You will explain to me what you are talking about. Or I will kill you. Do you understand?" he said, walking a short ways away from the man. He entered the room behind the wall Jeremy had just been pinned. The room had a small bar area, so while Elijah let Jeremy catch his breath he poured them both a drink.

He then sat down on one of the chairs in the room. There were a couple chairs around a small wooden table that his family used when they needed to discuss anything of importance.

As he waited he sipped his drink. He didn't have to wait long, before he heard the young man raise to his feet and walk into the room. He heard Jeremy stop for a second then sigh and sit down in the chair right across from Elijah. The human didn't pick up the drink Elijah had placed on the table for him. Instead he pulled himself back into the chair as far as he could go.

"You are not going to believe this but here goes nothing." Then to Elijah's shock, Jeremy told him a story about how the young human and a future version of Kol had woke up here. Neither of them knows where they were, until Kol had figured it out, that they were in the past. Now they were hiding out in town pretending to be brothers, while his Kol tried to find a witch that had the power to help them get back to their own time.

"You met my Kol last night. You caught him feeding. The only way I can prove any of this is for you to ask your Kol what he was doing last night? Or ask the girl at the Tavern about my brother." Jeremy added at the end of his story. The human had never touched his drink and was currently staring at his own shoes.

Elijah needed time to think about what he just heard, and he need to talk to his little brother. So he rose to his feet and didn't miss the flinch that ran through Jeremy.

"Stay here, while I speak to Kol. If Klaus comes back before I do…tell him you are my guest." Jeremy looked up at him and nodded.
