-1A/N: Elena's POV

I woke up. Klaus was watching me, from across the room.

"What happened?" I asked.

"You fainted from a mixture of blood loss, fear and hunger" he said "Here, put these one" he handed me a light blue dress with buttons down the front. I put it on, pleased to finally have some clean clothes "now, eat this" he tossed me a bread roll which I ate quickly. I expected him to immediately demand feeding off me but he didn't.

"I'll be back later" he said, leaving the room. I relaxed against my pillow, closing my eyes.

"Well, you're looking better" said a voice. I opened my eyes to see Elijah leaning against the doorway.

"What are you doing here?" I said, sitting up.

"Just wanted to see how you were"

"Thanks for caring. I'm fine" I said "Feel free to leave anytime" I blinked and in that split second, Elijah darted across the room, grabbed me by the throat and slammed me against the wall.

"Get this straight. I don't care about you. To me, you're just another human. The only thing that keeps me from killing you is Klaus. Remember that next time you decide to speak out of turn" he pressed his sharp fangs against my neck, making me stiffen before releasing me. He walked to the door, glancing back.

"You really do look better now. I guess a fear spell does that to you" then he left. Fear spell? What was he talking about? I sat down on the edge of the bed, confused. I remembered what had happened in the room. How could I forget? But I had assumed it was just a hallucination or something brought about from being isolated in the dark. Was it possible that Klaus had had some kind of fear spell cast on me? Or was Elijah just trying to scare me?

**later**

Klaus returned with a plate of food. I was standing against the wall of the bedroom, facing the door.

"You hungry?" he asked, coming towards me.

"No" I said. He placed the plate down and carried on towards me. I moved away, sitting on my bed.

"thirsty?"

"No"

"Anything?"

"Klaus I want to ask you something"

"Okay" he said, folding his arms.

"Did you have someone cast a fear spell on me so that I'd agree to your terms?"

"Elena I…"

"Just answer the question!" I snapped.

"Yes I did" I felt anger overwhelming me. When he'd found me in the basement I'd actually thought, for a minute, that he cared.

"You had a fear spell put on me? Why not fucking compel me! It would have been a lot easier!"

"I wanted you to come willingly" he said.

"Why? Why am I so different to every other girl you've killed? What is so special about me?" he didn't answer "You know, when I first arrived I was thinking that you weren't a bit like an vampire I'd ever met but now I know you are. You're like Damon, constantly pining over women you can never have! You're pathetic!" I snarled. His expression turned icy, eyes dark.

"Pathetic huh?"

Kiss him…kiss him…kiss him… the thought rose up unbidden.

"Stop it" I muttered.

"Stop what?" he snarled.

Kiss him…kiss him…KISS HIM! NOW!

I couldn't fight it, the pull was too strong. I reached forward and grabbed him by the front of his shirt, pulling him down onto the bed. My lips found his eagerly, my hands grasped desperately at his shirt.

His…be with him…kiss him…desire him…

I unbuttoned his shirt, kissing him wildly. I knew that I shouldn't be doing this but I couldn't control myself. It was if something had taken over my body. I pushed him down against the covers, straddling him. His hands went to the buttons on the front of my dress. I felt myself getting damp and I ground against him. He flipped us over, kissing me hard before pulling away.

"Can't have you huh? Elena, I can have you anytime I want so next time I'd think before you call someone pathetic" he climbed off the bed, buttoning his shirt, and left the room. I stared after him.

Oh god…what was happening to me?
