*Last chapter*

I left the letter in good sight on the middle of my bed, took my bag and jacket and descended the stairs. There was no one at the house and that made my task much easier. I opened the door of the house and stepped out. I turned back around one last time, memorized all small details that I could've missed and finally closed the door.

*End of last chapter*

Kol's P.O.V.

When we arrived at the house, Elena was still sleeping in my arms and so I moved her to her room. I put her under the covers and made sure she was comfortable, before I walked out of the room. That's when Rebekah came around the corner and saw me still leaning on Elena's door. She looked suspiciously at me and stopped just before me. "Why are you in front of Elena's door?" She asked while looking at Elena's door and me. I feared that Elena would wake up if Rebekah continued talking so loudly, so I made her follow me to the library. "Oh, no. Don't tell me you have fallen in love with her." Rebekah said from the couch. 'Am I in love with her?... No, ... Just… no…'

"Ha-ha, yeah sure." I answered with sarcasm dripping and sat in the chair in front of the couch. "I was just making sure she was fine." From the reaction I got from Rebekah, I knew that she knew about the argument too. "So, you have heard?" "No, I saw her run through the woods and decided to follow her." She gave me another suspicious look, but seemed to accept the answer. "Have you talked with Elijah?" I asked her. "Yes, half an hour ago. But he didn't really talk, it was just me talking and then he simply walked out. Since then I haven't seen him anymore." 'Interesting… Maybe I should go and talk with him...'

"Should I go and talk with him?" I asked Rebekah. She seemed shocked of my behavior, but decided to answer. "I don't know…He maybe needs some time to… cool down."

Elena's P.O.V.

When I woke up, I was startled to find myself in my bed. Outside of my door I heard Kol and Rebekah talking and then I heard them go into the library. I stretched myself a bit and got up. Slowly I walked to the door, making sure that I didn't make unnecessary noises and look into the hall. Thankfully nobody was outside and so I moved into the hall and was about to walk downstairs, when my eyes state focused on Elijah's room door.

I softly knocked once and waited for his answer, but nothing came. "Elijah? It's me Elena. I'm… sorry, please open the door." I spoke softly, while trying to catch something from inside the room. But like before there was absolutely no sound. I knocked again, a bit harder this time and listened again. 'Can I simply enter?...' I asked myself. I looked into the hall, but nobody seemed to come and so I slowly opened his door. "Elijah? Please… I'm…sorry." The door opened wider, but I was met with an empty room. 'Where could he be? …' I was about to turn back around and to go back to my door, when I noticed some things missing.

I walked back into the middle of the room and turned to the closet opening it and sure enough I was met with… nothing. There was absolutely nothing left in the closet and the bag that had been in there too. I then turned around and that's when I noticed the envelope with my name on it. 'Why did he leave me an envelope?' I wondered while I opened it.

I had a bad feeling about this envelope and it grew and grew. When I opened it and read the first sentence, I couldn't help the tears.

Elena

When you're reading this, I am since long gone. I saw you at the cemetery with Kol, I wanted to apologize for my earlier actions, but when I saw you two together, it all became clear for me. Take care of my brother, he deserves some happiness and he deserves such a beautiful, caring and loving person like you.

Just know that I will never forget you, I will never forget our kiss and the time we spent together. Elena, you are the most caring and the most loving person I know. Take care of yourself and of my brother; and never forget who and what you are. I know that you will succeed in controlling the blood lust, in becoming a great vampire and staying who you are.

Perhaps we will see each other again, perhaps not. But for the meanwhile know that I love you, that I will love you forever.

~ Elijah

Rebekah's P.O.V

I was just about to say something to Kol, when we both heard Elena shout. It was one of the most horrible shouts I ever heard. It was the one of a broken heart, the one who could pierce through hearts. Of course we both sped to the source of the sound. Elena's shouts and cries led us directly to Elijah's room. There Elena was lying on the floor, clutching a letter to her heart and crying.

I sped to her and took her in my arms, while trying to calm her, but it was useless. She wouldn't stop crying and she didn't seem to hear me. Kol moved forward too, but took away the letter and read it. While he did so, I watched intently his mimic. His eyes widened in shock and at the end, he went with his hand through his hair and sat down on the bed.

Elena was now hugging for dear live on me and I wasn't even able to move my hands, so Kol held the letter in front of me, so I could read it.

'No… He didn't do that...Poor Elena…' I thought, while I looked down at her. I didn't know what I could do and I looked up to Kol, but he too seemed lost. "Elena. Do you hear me? If you hear me nod once." I told her, while observing her every movement. I was nearly giving up, when Elena slowly nodded. 'Okay, that's at least something…' "Okay, we're going to get up now and move you to your room. Alright?" Again, Elena slowly nodded, but continued crying into my shoulder. Kol helped me to get her up and then took her into his arms, walking to her room. I followed straight behind them , thinking of a plan. I was just about to enter Elena's room, when I heard the front door open. Thinking that it could be Elijah, I sped down, but was disappointed by finding Klaus. "Oh, it's you." I said, before letting my head fall a bit. "Nice to know that I'm that welcomed." Klaus said with amusement, but quickly realizing that something was wrong.

"What happened?" He asked, while preparing himself for the following news. I didn't tell anything, I just led him to Elijah's room and showed him the letter. After he read it, he led it fall back down and sat on the bed. "So, he's gone?" He asked, with his head in his hands. "Yes, he took all his clothes and some personal belongings." I sat down and thought about something. "Klaus, there's something I-" "How's Elena?" Klaus interrupted me. "She's…" "She's asleep." Kol said from the door. "She was so exhausted, that she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow."

After some moments of silence Klaus stood up and before he got out of the room, he stopped and looked back at us. "I think it's time to get Elena's friends. They will know what to do." Klaus finished and walked out of the room. "Will you come with me? They're not exactly my best friends and I do not wish to end up dead." I half joked and hoped that Kol would say yes. "If you wish to, but let's start with the blonde vampire. I do not wish to get a curse tonight." "Believe me, that won't happen tonight. The witch, Bonnie, is at the hospital." I told him, while we walked downstairs. "What did you do?" Kol asked suspiciously. "I didn't do anything! She got hit by a car and it wasn't my doing. You know that this isn't my style." Kol laughed and grabbed the car keys. "I know sister, I know."

Klaus's P.O.V.

When I saw Rebekah's head fall down, I knew something was wrong. "What happened?" I asked her, while I went through possibilities in my head. I was surprised when Rebekah led me into Elijah's room and showed me a letter.

After I finished reading it I first thought of Elena. It was strange, but my first thought was how she was. I realized that since she came to live with us, that she had all changed us a bit. For example I seemed to be calmer, I didn't over react like I did sometimes, Rebekah and Kol didn't fight each other anymore and Elijah was more open and looked happy. I don't know what Elijah was thinking when he wrote that stupid letter, but I knew that it did a lot of damage and that it could ruin all the control Elena had already mastered. Kol, Rebekah and I were lost in this, there was no way we could help Elena like her other friends could.

"I think it's time to get Elena's friends. They will know what to do." I told Rebekah and Kol. Then I went out of the room and went to my own. I let myself sink into my couch and just let out a deep breathe. "Oh, brother… What did you do?" I asked into the room and stood up again. 'Rebekah and Kol better hurry up…'

After Rebekah and Kol left the house, I went to Elena's room. I slightly knocked on the door before I entered. Elena was still asleep and so I took a seat next to her bed. She looked exhausted and a bit pale. 'Didn't anyone give her blood?...' I thought a bit angrily, before I sped to the kitchen to get some blood for both her and myself. When I came back up, she was still sleeping, so I sat back down and slowly sipped my blood.

I had started reading the newspaper, when I heard and saw Elena move. I put the newspaper down and waited for to fully wake up. She slowly stretched and then opened her eyes. When her eyes settled on me she was a bit shocked and then looked at the blood bag I was giving her. "You should drink, you look thirsty." I told her softly. She sat up, took the blood bag and started drinking it hungrily. When she finished she gave me a small smile, before she seemed to remember something, that caused her to instantly look sad. "…Thanks" She uttered after a while.

"I know how hard it is right now for you, but you have to keep fighting." I told her after a while of silence. She looked astonished for a moment and turned more towards me. "How would you know?" She asked interested. I led out a sad chuckle and thought for a moment. "Long ago, a similar thing happened to me. I was the one being left and if it wasn't for Elijah and Rebekah, I would've gone completely mad." "You mean more than usual?" Elena laughed and looked towards me, probably trying to get my reaction. Under normal circumstances I would've maybe been extremely angry, but today it was different. Today I laughed with her and I had to admit that it felt good to laugh and to see her laughing. "Is it okay, if I go and quickly change in the bathroom. We can continue talking afterwards." I nodded and picked back up my newspaper. "I'll be waiting for you here." I answered before I started reading.

Twenty minutes later Elena and I were sitting on the chairs in her room, next to a relaxing fire. "Do you think he will come back?" Elena suddenly asked out of the blue. "I don't know. Maybe he will come back, maybe not." I answered truthfully, there was no need to lie to her. I was sure she had already figured this out, she wasn't stupid after all. Elena suddenly seemed to get really uncomfortable and started fidgeting in her seat. "What is it, Elena?" I asked her, after I watched her for a certain amount of time. "… Can I stay here, now that… Elijah's gone?" She asked, trying to avoid my gaze. 'That's too cute…. Shut it!' With my hand I forced her to look at me and only when she did eye contact I continued. "I, our entire family, promised to help you. Of course you can stay in this house. Rebekah already considers you family, so you are more than welcomed to stay. Just because Elijah left, doesn't mean you have to leave too." I told her with all the sincerity I could muster. I could see relieve flood through her eyes, before she moved away. "Thanks… Klaus."

Caroline's P.O.V.

When I opened the door to find two originals, Rebekah and Kol, I was really taken aback. Nobody expects their enemies to show up on your own doorstep. "What do you want?" I asked suspiciously, while gripping the vervain dart I had behind me. "You pathetic excuse of a weapon has nothing against us. Besides we're not here to fight, we're here because we need your help." Kol explained me and at the end I had to laugh. "You really think I'm going to help you? How stu-…" "It's about Elena." Rebekah interrupted me. "Elena? What about her?" I asked curious "Can we discuss that inside? There's no need for everyone to hear our reason." Rebekah continued saying, while looking at Kol and me. After a moment of hesitation, I agreed and let them in.

I led them to the living room and mentioned for them to sit down. "Start explaining, I don't have all day." I nearly spat out, which caused Kol to clench his fists and Rebekah to hold him back. "Something happened and we don't know how we can help Elena in the best way." "What happened?" I asked impatiently. 'Why don't they just tell me?... What's so hard in telling things right away?...' During the next twenty minutes Rebekah told me the entire story of the past days.

Elena's P.O.V.

When I woke up and saw Klaus next to my bed, I was really shocked. 'What is he doing here?... Is he going to kill me?...' Where my first thoughts, before I tried to calm down. And when he gave me the bag of blood, I was really thankful.

Just after I thanked Klaus, I heard the front door opened downstairs and seconds later someone rushed into my room and nearly hugged the life out of me. "Caroline?" I asked incredulously. "Elena. I am so, so sorry! I swear I wanted to stop Damon, but…" Caroline told me, while she was still hugging me. "Hey, it's fine, it's fine." I told her. "But, how did you come here?" I asked her after another couple of seconds. "Rebekah and Kol came to me and told me what happened with… You know who I mean." Caroline said, while observing me closely. "I'll leave you to yourselves, ladies." Klaus quickly said and got out of the room. "Ups, I didn't realize he was in here…" Caroline laughed.

We had been sitting on my bed and talking for over two hours, when there was a knock on the door. "Come in!" I said, turning to face the door. Rebekah slowly opened the door and stopped. 'What's wrong?' "Can I come in?" She asked shyly and seemed to fidget with her hands behind her back. I looked over to Caroline and when she nodded, I nodded to Rebekah. "I wanted to ask if you, Caroline, would spend the night here or not? If you would want to spend the night here, we could give you a room." Rebekah told Caroline while she went to sit on the bed too. "Well, I would like for you to stay here." I quickly told Caroline and looked at her. "If you don't mind, I'd like to." Caroline said, smiling widely.

And so over the next days and weeks Caroline, Rebekah, Kol and Klaus helped me with my vampire training and helped me with my feelings for Elijah. In the morning I would do some training with Klaus and Kol and in the afternoon I would spend time with Caroline and Rebekah. The first few days Caroline stayed at the house, but eventually she had to go back to her own house. But every afternoon she would come and spend some time with Rebekah and me, it was fun seeing Caroline pretend that she didn't like Rebekah although you could see it that she grew to like her just as much as I do. I was even able to get to a state of understanding with the entire gang. Damon was still trying to get me away from the originals, but at least he realized that they were trying to help me and so he tolerated them.

For the first two weeks I had constantly hoped to see Elijah. But when the fourth week passed Caroline made me realize that he wouldn't come back, or at least not anytime soon. And so I started to 'accept' the fact, that I would not see him for a very long time.

Okay, so thank you so much for reading this very long chapter. I know the ending isn't too good, but this chapter is also more of a fill-in chapter. So, I hope you still liked it and please review! :D
