A/N: For the anonymous reviewer: BIGFAN and anyone else who was wondering, my story is called: Blessed and the author name is Holly Campbell. It is now available for Kindle and in paperback.

I had intended to only sleep with Klaus that one time so that I wouldn't be so nervous on our wedding night. However, afterwards things changed. It was like I had no self control anymore. All he had to do was touch me and my body would respond instantly, meaning that we ended up having sex several times a day. I started avoiding Elijah because the pain I saw in his eyes hurt too much. The only good thing that came from the all consuming lust and passion we were sharing was that I managed to convince Klaus to move the wedding date back again which was a load off my mine.

I was curled up in Klaus' arms, head resting against his chest. He traced lazy shapes on my back. I smiled slightly.

"Are you okay love?"

"Yes"

"Really?" he looked down at me.

"Well, I miss my family…."

"I understand" he sighed softly "Would you like to call them?" I sat up sharply.

"Really? I can?" He smiled and nodded.

"Yes" I smiled widely.

"Oh thank you Klaus! Thank you!" I hugged him tight.

"However, I would suggest you don't call the Salvatores…since Damon wasn't too happy about Stefan's deal"

"Wait…what?" Until now I'd assumed Klaus and Elijah had merely kidnapped me out of a whim. I didn't realise that Stefan was involved!

"Oh…yeah…." I glared, getting out of the bed. I stood at the foot, arms folded.

"Phone. Now." Klaus chuckled and got out of bed. He found his phone and handed it to me. I snatched it away and dialled quickly, pacing the room. It rang twice before it was picked up.

"Hello Klaus" said Stefan's voice. My eyes narrowed.

"Not Klaus, Stefan"

"Elena" I heard the shock in his voice. "Well…hi Elena…how are you?"

"Fine all things considering I just found out you TRADED ME TO KLAUS" Stefan sighed.

"Look Elena, I'm sorry. But it was the only way…"

"Shut up. There was no excuse for this. You were just being a coward" I heard him growl "I said shut it. Now please hand me over to Damon so I can talk to him, and then return to having rampant sex with my fiancé"

"WHAT?" he yelled. I thought I heard an echo suggesting Damon was just as outraged.

"What did you think he was going to do with me? Take my blood? Torture me? Play checkers? Oh no, he wants to marry me. Now hand over the fucking phone" Stefan started to say something but the phone was snatched away and I heard Damon's velvet voice.

"Hello Elena"

"Hey Damon. How are you?"

"Well, apart from the fact that Stefan is brooding a lot and currently smashing some of our furniture and the girl I love has been traded to a psychotic original…I'm pretty good. You?"

"I'm okay"

"Good. They haven't hurt you?"

"No. Well… nothing life threatening"

"Good. Are you coming back?"

"I can't. I'm not allowed. It's taken me this long to get permission for phone calls" Damon sighed.

"I want to come and get you Elena, you know I do…."

"Don't, Damon. Think about yourself. Just…don't" I would have loved for Damon to come bursting through the door and rescue me but I knew if he tried he would end up dead.

"Are you sure that's the real reason?"

"What? Of course it is!"

"Oh yeah? I heard something about 'rampant sex'…"

"That's not…"

"Are you thinking about me? Or him?"

"I…" he hung up. I stared at the phone, upset. How could he say that? I felt tears in my eyes and dialled Jeremy's number. I hoped he was still out of Mystic Falls.

"Hello?"

"Hey Jer. It's me"

"Elena, what's up?" I almost sighed in relief.

"Nothing. Just…wanted to see how you are" I fought to keep my tears from falling at the sound of his voice.

"I'm fine. How are you?"

"I'm…okay. I miss you"

"I miss you too. I'll visit soon?"

"no…it's fine…I have to go. Talk later?"

"Yeah. Bye Elena. Love you"

"love you too" I hung up and put the phone down. I stood, staring into space for a few minutes. My tears started to flow, thick and fast. It had all suddenly become too much. I couldn't pretend anymore.

Silently, Klaus came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me, holding me against him. I pressed my body against his, drawing comfort from the warmth he provided. He gradually drew me over to the bed. I rested my head on his chest, closing my eyes as I cried softly.

"It'll be okay Elena…."
