Now Elijah was awake, Selina had no idea what to do. She hadn't blinked in the last few minutes scared that she might miss something. She wasn't even sure if Elijah was completely aware that she was there. He was just lying there breathing steadily and staring at the ceiling.
Suddenly his steady breathing become erratic and fast, he leapt up from the floor and ran towards the door, only to bounce off the wall and fall back to the floor. He seemed somewhat disorientated to Selina. He was muttering to himself about getting out of the house, she stepped forward slowly not wanting to startle him and let her presence be known.
"I have to get out of this house! I haven't been invited in" Elijah gasped when his eyes landed on Selina properly for the first time; Selina nodded quickly and rushed to his side for offer her help, as he continued to try and get out of the room.
Finally with a little help from Selina, Elijah was out of the room and zooming upstairs out of the house. Selina moved to follow, but stopped looking back the dagger she had just removed from Elijah's chest. She hurried over and scooped it up in her hand, then rushed to follow Elijah.
Signs of a rushed exit littered the way to the front door, Selina picked up a knocked over table and stood up a lamp that had fallen over, along with a chair, another table and a coat stand.
"Why did you wake me?" came a voice from the front door, Selina gasped and span around seeing Elijah leaning on the door frame outside. She narrowed her eyes slightly and glared at the vampire before her, "Why have you been in my dreams?" She replied.
"You can't answer a question with a question" Elijah sighed seeming irritated he couldn't get into the house, "The house is now in Elena's name, that's why you can't get in" Selina informed him, stepping forward slightly.
"I woke you because I need your help, and everyone else is too stubborn to ask for it. I am sure Klaus is in town but I think he is using someone else's body. I know you are a man of your word, and I know you will make deals if they benefit you. So I have a deal for you. You give me the same deal you gave Elena, and I will make sure she is safe; I will discourage any and all stupid and reckless behavior. I know you need her to take down Klaus" Selina told Elijah, though on the outside she was a picture of confidence, inside she was shaking like a leaf.
"Well you see here's my problem. How do I know you can be trusted? After all our first encounter was…interesting to say the least and I was killed that night" Elijah replied glancing from his hands to Selina's face, Selina sighed softly she should have seen this coming.
Selina thought for a few moments on anything she could do, to show Elijah see could be trusted. Her eyes fell the dagger that was still held in her hand, frowned slightly she looked back to Elijah and stepped forward slightly.
"I want you to have this" Selina said holding the dagger out in front of her to Elijah, he took the dagger from her swiftly, "I am now no longer a threat to you" she finished softly .
"I would also like to apologize to you, for my behavior on the first night we meet. I am truly sorry I wasn't feeling myself" Selina continued not breaking eye contact with Elijah, Elijah nodded softly at Selina's apology with a soft smile.
Selina returned his soft smile, her eyes still locked on Elijah's. Bright green meeting dark brown, Selina felt herself slowly moving forward, and before she realized it she was standing right in front of Elijah.
"Your apology is accepted, and I will be keeping this dagger on my person. Also you can have your deal, so long as you keep your end of bargain" Elijah told her firmly. Selina smiled happily and bounced over to him, "Thank you" she beamed as she planted a soft kiss on his cheek.
Elijah's face shone with confusion for a split second before he regained his composure, Selina's eyes widened at her actions and froze in place. Her eyes looking everywhere but at Elijah, she crossed her arms over her chest, and stepped back, her face slowly getting redder.
Selina stuttered over a few words before slamming her mouth shut and rushing away leaving the original vampire standing alone on the Salvatore doorstep. She could not believe she had just done that, she was suppose to hate the man for wanting to take Elena away not kissing him, even if it was just a peck on the cheek.
She was completely stuck with what to do, everyone thought she was out of town, so she couldn't be seen. She absentmindedly made her way back to her car and sat on the bonnet. She glanced at her phone and sighed, everyone would be coming home from the dance now, they would find out Elijah was gone and most likely freak out. But she had done the right thing, she was sure of it.
"It's not nice nor is it smart to sneak up on a woman" Selina sighed looking up from the phone and seeing Elijah standing in front of her, she sighed loudly and slid down from her perch. She moved and stood in front of him craning her neck slightly to look him in the face.
"Whatever this is, this I don't know friendship? Can't happen I can't like you. You are meant to be the bad guy, disguised as the good guy. I mean sure you are a good looking guy, but I can't…." Selina never managed to finish her sentence, because Elijah strode over and planted his lips on Selina's. Selina's arms automatically came up around his neck while Elijah's snaked around her waist.
Several minutes later Selina pulled back for air, her eyes slightly glazed over. She blinked several times trying to clear her mind and stepped back, her mind felt foggy and not much made any sense to her at that moment. All that matter was that that this man before her had just kissed her in a way she had never been kissed before, and she was craving more, and that was wrong.
Elijah planted a tender kiss on her forehead, and then rested his head on top of hers, wrapping his arms around her tightly. This was so wrong, she thought suddenly. But she felt so safe and secure in his arms. She sighed softly and relaxed slightly into his embrace.
"Your safe Selina, I promise. Nothing will happen to you, while your with me" Elijah spoke softly stroking Selina's long black hair tenderly.
"No one can know about this, I am going to be alienated for this, we have to keep this secret until I can tell them, ok?" Selina asked softly. Elijah nodded in agreement and kissed the top of her head.
Her phone ringing quickly brought her back to her senses; her looked at the caller i.d and closed her eyes in dread. Tyler. They knew Elijah was gone.
