Chapter 13

Elena awoke wrapped in Elijah's arms. They had an amazing night together and Elena had felt safe and loved in his arms. She lifted her head to stare at the man who had spent the entire night pleasing her in ways she didn't know was possible. She immediately blushed as the memories flooded back to her in a hot flash of passion. Elijah was still asleep and Elena didn't want to wake him. She carefully moved from his embrace and climbed out of the bed. She picked up his shirt and threw it on. She padded down stairs and started some coffee with a smile on her face. She busied herself and found herself humming a little tune. She had pulled down some coffee cups when she felt a set of arms around her waist. She smiled as she turned.

"Good morning" she chimed as she kissed Elijah on the lips.

"Good morning in deed, I must say that shirt looks rather lovely on you" he said as he nipped at her ear sending Elena's legs numb. She groaned against him. He captured her lips with his as the moan escaped her lips again. He held her tightly as he kissed her passionately. He pulled away for a moment before he cleared his throat. Elena's stomach growled. She laughed.

"Are you hungry?" she asked Elijah. She knew that vampires could eat human food if necessary but preferred other sustenance.

"A little, I think you most certainly are" he added chuckling.

"A little, Do you want French toast or…" she said as she went to the fridge and pulled out a hidden drawer with blood in it. Alaric had insisted they keep some around incase Damon or Stefan felt the need.

"I wasn't aware you carried blood in your fridge." He said shocked.

"Well, its Alaric's idea. In case Damon or Stefan felt the need" Elena said absently.

"Do you mind at all?" he asked her knowing how some preferred to not talk of such things.

"Of course not, you can have as much as you need. I'm going to go get a shower and then I'll be back down. I don't know exactly what time Anna and Andrew are coming and I want to be presentable." Elena said as she handed the bag of O+ to Elijah.

She kissed him quickly before climbing the stairs for a shower. Elijah had watched her walk away in his shirt catching a glimpse of her thigh. It made his body ache with need. He had spent the most amazing night with Elena. It couldn't have been any more perfect than it was. He opened the bag of blood and drank it down quickly. He didn't need as much as some new vampires did. A little satisfied him just fine; but the need he felt now could only be cured by one thing, Elena. He threw the bag into the trash and moved with vampire speed to Elena's room. He quickly ditched his cloths and walked into the bathroom. He could see Elena's outline in the steam. He pulled back the curtain and climbed in behind her. She turned and gasped.

"You scared me" she said to him. Elijah smiled.

"Are you still frightened?" he asked her as he pulled her close. Elena smiled.

"Not at all" she whispered as she closed the distance between them ending their conversation.

Elijah and Elena finally emerged from the shower clean and refreshed. Elena got dressed taking her time to find what she needed. Elijah had thrown on his cloths from the night before and told Elena he was going to go get some fresh cloths from his apartment. Elena assumed that Elijah lived at the estate with his brother Nicklaus and Rebecca. She would have to ask him of that later she wondered. She braided her hair and threw on a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt. It was actually cold that morning to no surprise of Elena's. She had expected it. Once Elena felt presentable she made her way down stairs to fix that coffee she had wanted as well as something to eat. She finished up about 10 minutes later just as Elijah appeared. He looked amazing as always. He paused in the doorway to stare at Elena. Elena smiled at him and cocked her head.

"Is something wrong?" she asked him.

"Of course not, I was just admiring how beautiful you are" he said smiling at her.

"Thank you" she said blushing. Elijah was about to say something when suddenly the doorbell rang. Elena looked at him.

"No worries it's Anna and Andrew" Elijah said as he took Elena's hand and followed her to the door. She took a moment and then opened it. Elena stared in awe at Anna and Andrew. She remembered how lovely they looked last night but in the day light they looked even more amazing. Elena hadn't noticed how much Anna looked like Jenna except with brown hair.

"Please come in" Elena said to them both. They walked carefully into the home.

Elena noticed how Anna looked around the house like she had been there before. Had she? Elena thought. She led them into the kitchen.

"Can I offer you some coffee?" Elena asked.

"Yes please." Anna said smiling to her.

Elena worked on the coffee while Elijah made up a tray to take to the living room for them to sit and talk. Once done Elena placed everything together and Elijah carried the tray to the living room. Andrew and Anna sat beside each other as did Elijah and Elena. They handed out the coffee. It was quiet for a moment before Anna spoke.

"This is a lovely home Elena" Anna said to her.

"Thank you, my mom and dad loved this house very much. I haven't changed anything about it since they passed away." Elena said taking a sip of coffee.

"Of course, they were lovely people" Anna said softly.

"You knew my parents" Elena asked shocked.

"Of course, I've kept watch over them as well as you and Jeremy" Anna said sweetly.

"We never knew" Elena said absently.

"Of course not, I met your mother and father briefly. I always kept close watch over you all" Anna said.

"Why?" Elena asked curious.

"You are my family. I wanted to know that you were alright. I tried several times to get up the nerve to meet you after they passed but it was difficult. I did however leave my journal for Jenna in hopes she would read it and then when she passed I had almost lost hope you would ever know who I was. I heard you were looking for me and then I talked to Andrew once I heard what the Salvatore's intended to do. I had to protect you in any way I could." She admitted to Elena. Andrew gripped her hand lovingly.

"Oh, I understand" Elena said in truth.

"Speaking of the Salvatore's, how did you hear of their plan" Elijah asked as he hovered protectively around Elena.

"Well. Believe it or not we do have humans whom we have known for some time. They have kept watch over Elena since word got out in the vampire world that she is the doppelganger." Andrew said honestly.

"Who do you know?" Elena asked this time before Elijah did.

"Actually, it's Mr. and Mrs. Fell" Anna said smiling at her.

"Wait a second they have known? They are at least in their 80's" Elena said mainly to herself.

"Indeed they are. I met Amelia when she was Around 30. She became a dear friend of mine and knew what we were. She wouldn't tell a soul about us and I trusted her. To this day she had kept her word as well as her husband. They are very dear friends to us and when your mother and father died they kept us closely informed of anything to do with you and Jeremy" she said smiling.

"I had no idea. They were always so sweet to us both they were like grandparents to us" Elena mused.

"Indeed, we are staying with them now under different names of course" Anna said taking a sip of her coffee.

"I wish Jeremy was here to meet you" Elena said absently missing her brother.

"He is well, Elena. We have eyes on him as well" Andrew said comfortingly to her. Elena nodded.

"So what's the plan in dealing with the new witch and the other originals?" Elena asked looking from Elijah to Anna and back to Andrew.

Andrew and Anna met eyes.

"That's the tricky part" Andrew said to Elena and Elijah.

"Why is it tricky?" Elena asked.

"It's complicated" Anna said as she looked at Elena.

Great Elena thought.
