Elena's POV
My head snapped up. "Really?" I eyed Klaus suspiciously. "What about Kol? What are you all going to do to him? What if he kidnaps me again?"
Klaus's eyes grew dark and devilish. Kol dead in the bottom of a ravine poofed into my head. My eyes widened in horror and Klaus simply chuckled.
Damon nodded, "You'll be staying with Stefan and I for a while. And yes, Jeremy can stay over too."
A smile split my face and I couldn't help but to jump up and hug the heck out of Damon. "I missed you guys," I whispered in his ear, glad to have him and the rest of my family soon back.
He smirked and nipped my earlobe, causing me to jump back. He winked at me and went to sit down on the other isle, leaving me alone with Elijah and Klaus.
"Elena, would you allow me to read your memories and see what Kol has and was going to do with you?" Elijah asked politely. The memory of me making out with Kol popped into my mind immediately and I felt my heart quicken and my face go pink.
"Um…I'd rather just tell you. I'm on vervain so it wouldn't work anyways…" I said softly. Klaus snorted and reached for my forehead, but I batted his hand away. Klaus bared his teeth and sat back, staring at me expectantly.
I took a deep breath and explained what had happened, leaving out the parts where we flirted, kissed or slept in my bed together. Klaus and Elijah were both silent through my story, only raising their eyebrows during the times when we went shopping and when Zach was in my bed the night after shopping. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Damon's ear aimed towards me, obviously listening in. I finished the story, ending with Josh's final words.
"I don't think you want to know,"
Elijah's brow furrowed in a bit of confusion. While Klaus commented, mostly to himself, "Our brother is a bit bi-polar, eh love?"
Damon made his way over and sat down next to me, throwing his arm over the back of my seat. We sat in silence, the guys mulling over my story. It was around noon and we were high above the ocean. My stomach rumbled and I heard a hybrid laugh at the back of the plane. Klaus and Damon's lips twitched up in smirks. I raised my eyebrows and patted my stomach, as if to say, "Feed me, please." Elijah chuckled and got up. He came back a moment later with a bag of airplane peanuts and a peach. I gobbled up the peanuts and stared at the peach.
"Don't you just hate the fuzzy peeling? It makes me feel like I'm eating a bunny rabbit." I murmured.
"Ooo Stefen would like peaches then." Damon said wiggling his eyebrows and laughing.
"Your brother is ever the bunny eater." Klaus said with a cheeky smirk. Elijah rolled his eyes and grinned slightly. Damon and Elijah left to get blood bags, I assume, leaving me with Klaus. I ate the peach slowly, hating that this was starting to be an awkward moment.
Klaus dragged his thumb across my cheek and cocked his head, looking ever like a creepy obsessed vampire. The hotel when I had been saved the first time popped into my mind and I shuddered, remembering Klaus kissing my neck, almost biting me. I brought the peach away from my mouth and sat it on my lap.
"Could you please stop?" I said, trying to sound annoyed rather than scared.
"Time for another donation, El-ena," Klaus whispered in my ear, drawing out my name.
He held my arm down and surprisingly gently jabbed the needling into my arm, and hooked on the tube and bag.
"I'll take two bags, so you won't die…yet." He murmured, pressing a finger to my lips, as I was about to open my mouth to protest. I furrowed my brows. Glancing down at the bag, which was already about half full, I opened my mouth again.
"Elij-!" I started to say, but Klaus clamped his hand over my mouth and whooshed to the seat next me, using his hand to keep my mouth shut and my head pressed against the seat.
Elijah's POV
I glanced up from my book at the back of the plane and cocked my head. I could have sworn I heard someone call my name. I looked over at the hybrids and counted. They were all there. I looked up the isle and saw Damon, on his cell phone. Klaus was nowhere to be found. I walked quickly and silently up to Elena's row, shocked to see my brother and Elena sitting next to each other, Elena's blood flowing like tap water out of her arm and into a bag. Klaus was obviously battling his inner monster. His veins were faintly snaking under his eyes, and Elena's face was getting paler by the minute.
"Klaus!" I snapped angrily. "Release the poor girl!" I grabbed Klaus by the shirt and threw him against the far wall. Elena took a deep breath, now that Klaus's hand was off her mouth. I gently wiggled the needle out of her arm and pressed my hand against the cut, stopping the blood flow. I took a deep breath, concentrating on the girl who looked exactly like my old love, not the amazing blood pumping through her veins. "Damon!" I yelled. "Bring some wrap-able gauze for Elena!"
Damon whooshed in front of Elena and his eyes widened, seeing the blood bag on the floor. He cursed and went for the gauze, threw it at us, and tackled Klaus, who was just now getting up. I pulled my hand away, wincing at all the blood. You could tell Klaus was not a nurse seeing as how this wound was messily punctured. I quickly wrapped the gauze around her arm and stared at my bloody hand, head spinning.
"Damon," I said stiffly. "Keep the hybrids away from Elena." I made my way to the small bathroom to wash off my bloody hand.
