Chapter 14

Buffy had moved out of the compound about a month ago now and she had to admit being just her and Dawn in their apartment made her feel a lot better. Elijah had tried to get her stay but after she explained everything to him, including Klaus and his blood he agreed that it might be good for all three of them. Even though she did tell him about them sharing blood a couple times, she didn't tell him that she had actually started getting feelings for him, she didn't want to hurt him like that. She just hoped not having to see Klaus that often that anything that she felt would be wiped away.

She and Elijah had went on a couple dates and she had to admit she had had a good time with him. But she still didn't have any feelings flying back to her like she had hoped. But at least she could be in the same room as him and not feel any kind of hatred for him, which was a step forward.

Giles and Xander were supposed to be coming back for a visit within the next couple weeks. She only had a two bedroom apartment now so she really wasn't sure where they would be staying, if it was only for a couple days it wouldn't be that big of a deal but from what Buffy gathered they were going to be staying for a while. Giles was intrigued about Buffy and her pregnancy. She still hadn't seen him since she changed and she couldn't help but be a little scared how he would react toward her.

Buffy had just got out of the shower when she heard someone knocking on the door, since Dawn had just left about a half hour before that she just figured it was her and she had forgotten her key so she opened it without even checking who it was. To her surprise when she opened the door Klaus stood there. She cursed herself for not checking, he had been coming by every other day and Buffy had been ignoring him.

"What do you want?" She said annoyed.

"To talk"

"So talk" She said trying to ignore the pull she was already having toward him.

"Can I come in?" He asked.

She just stared at him, "Why?"

"You can't stand there and pretend like this distance between us hasn't been affecting you as much as it has been me." She heard the anger behind his words.

"Don't you get it, that's the reason I moved out, so I wouldn't have to constantly feel guilty for what I was feeling when you was around." She shouted back at him.

"So how's it been since you moved? You still feel the same way?" He asked.

Buffy didn't answer him. She didn't want to give him the satisfaction of answering it.

Finally she said "It's the blood Klaus that's it."

She could tell right away that he hadn't wanted to hear her say that. Was he thinking it was something more than that? He turned and started away from her.

"Wait Klaus, come on in" She wasn't sure why she invited him in but she did.

But he didn't even turn around and look at her, he just kept walking. She shut the door a little too hard, she wasn't sure why she let him get under her skin but she did.

She was in bed later that night, she had just turned the light when she felt his presence.

"I know your there" She said as she sat back up.

He walked out of the shadows. "I'm sorry."

She patted the bed next to her, "What's going on Elijah?"

He slowly made his way to her and sat down next to her. He looked like he was hurting. "I need to ask you something and please be honest with me."

"Alright."

"Is there something going on between you and Klaus?" He said not looking at her.

She knew he would eventually ask this question. "No… But if you want to know the truth ever since we shared the blood I feel a connection with him."

"Do you care about him?"

She took a few moments before she answered then she said softly, "Yes."

It was that moment that she realized she did still care for Elijah, it wasn't like it was before but she didn't like him being upset.

"Elijah you have to know I didn't want this, it's why I've been staying away from him, I'm not going to lie to you and tell you I don't care about him but I think it's all connected to the blood" She told him as she placed her hand on top of his.

"Have you shared any blood since you first came back?" Elijah asked staring at her.

She shook her head.

"Then that's not it, the blood would have been out of your system along time ago, these feelings are your own." She could see the tears building in his eyes.

"Well if it's not the blood then it's something else, something I can't tell you" She knew the only explanation she had for it was the baby but she knew she shouldn't tell Elijah about that.

"Buffy if you're keeping secrets from me then maybe we shouldn't be trying to work this out" He stood up but Buffy was in front of him before his feet even hit the floor.

"I don't want to keep secrets from you but this is something that we all decided together that it was better if everyone forgot, I only remembered because I turned into this" She told him.

He looked at her confused "I don't understand, we asked someone to take our memories away, even after what happened with you and Klaus…." He looked down at the ground when he said that.

"It was because of that, that's the reason we all chose to forget it was too dangerous for anyone to know" Buffy was in tears now, the thought of losing Elijah had hit her and she didn't want that.

"What do you mean it was because of that…" He paused and when he looked up at her she knew that he had figured it out "The baby is Klaus's."

She nodded, feeling the tears going down her cheeks. He tried to leave her room but Buffy caught him, she wasn't going to let him leave like this.

She held him against the wall. "Don't" She ordered him.

Elijah's mouth was on hers before she even realized that he had moved. She didn't push him away, she kissed him back. Pushing him up against the wall she made sure there was no room left between them. Then he had ahold of her laying her down on the bed. They were in each other's arms and out of their clothes in only a matter of seconds. But as soon as they connected something happened that Buffy hadn't expected.

A bunch of memories started flashing through Buffy's head, it took her a minute to realize what it was but then it hit her all at once. The feelings that she had starting having about Klaus, the almost incident in the bathroom, getting bit by the werewolf, her and Klaus kissing, the first time she took his blood, the first time he took hers, the sex, all the sex and all the blood sharing, the love that she felt for him, her not wanting to come back to Elijah, having Willow take her memories away.

"Oh god" Buffy began crying and immediately got off Elijah.

He tried to comfort her but she smacked him away and kept crying. How could she do this to him, Elijah had never done anything but love her and want her to have the best life possible. She was sitting with her back toward Elijah, holding her legs on the bed with her head buried in her knees. She felt Elijah get off the bed and he walked in front of her.

"Buffy you're scaring me, what's going on?"

She looked up and looked at Elijah, he didn't deserve this, and he didn't deserve what she did to him. A whole bunch of emotions were hitting her and hitting her hard, she was having a hard time controlling them. She was going through an overdrive of emotions. She knew she shouldn't tell Elijah about anything she just remember but she also knew she couldn't keep it from him.

"I slept with Klaus in L.A." She said not taking her eyes off him. "And I think… I think I fell in love with him."

Elijah took a step back from her it was obvious he was pissed. "How could you? I sat here waiting for you to find your way and come back to me and you're out there having a relationship with my brother."

"I'm sorry I don't know how it happened, I didn't even remember it until…. Until we started having sex…. I had my memories erased so I didn't remember…. I didn't know I did that or I would have never…" Buffy couldn't stop crying.

Elijah grabbed his clothes and was gone. She didn't try to stop him. She was so confused now that she had these feelings back for Klaus she didn't know how to feel. She could feel the love she had for him through her whole body but then she could also feel the way she felt for Elijah as well.

She seen the door open and Dawn stood in her doorway. She grabbed a sheet to cover herself and then looked at her sister. Dawn walked into the room and wrapped her arms around her sister.
