Would seriously just like to take the time to apologize to you guys about lack of update! I have a lot of plans for whats going to happen and this is I think my last filler chapter before all the action gets put into motion.

I had a lot of fun writing this chapter, partly because of Klena filler fluff but mostly because of well...just read and guess why I was hyped!

Didn't listen to any music for this chapter although if I look back on this chapter then a good song that goes along well with the fluffiness of this chapter would be Tonight by Boyce Avenue, simply amazing.

Enjoy:)

Chapter 21

No One's POV

Gregory stalked the young vampire until he was fully cornered around the back of the Grill. He shook his head at his sister's taste in men. This boy was incredibly arrogant and thought highly of himself when there wasn't much to be thought of. He turned around and his ice blue eyes glared at him. Gregory smiled at him casually. Damon Salvatore looked him up and down.

"Who the hell are you?" he sneered. So arrogant.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Gregory began to circle Damon, like he was some sort of prey. Damon eyed him suspiciously.

"I honestly don't care who are you, what you want but I'm not a guy to be messed with right now," he hissed at Gregory and began to walk away but he was quickly stopped when Gregory was in front of him.

"I'm afraid I can't do that," he said simply.

Damon arrogantly raised an eyebrow at him. "Oh really? And why is that?"

Gregory looked Damon up and down before grabbing his arm and twisting it behind his back. Damon hissed in pain and glared at the ground in front of him. "Because," Gregory's hand moved up to Damon's neck. "You're all part of the plan," and by adding the slightest bit of pressure, Damon went limb, unconscious.

Elspeth's POV

"Okay so you pretty much just press the triangle shaped button and it plays the song, and the line at the bottom of the screen controls the volume," I explained to one of the Originals, who's name I had learned to be Iris. Iris smiled at me thankfully and pressed the play button on the iPod in front of her and smiled to herself as she listened to the music, I patted her on the back and got up and walked away to go see what the others were up to. Elijah had been away for a couple of days in search for a more permanent place for the group of Originals to stay and I missed him. Since he woke up, we hadn't really spent that much time together.

However as I walked away, a hand grabbed my wrist. I jumped in shook and turned around was met with a pair of emerald green eyes. Of all the Originals, this was the one I hated the most. Darius was the type of vampire that made my skin crawl. I didn't know wither it was his dark charm or his mischievous smile but all in all he creeped me out.

He smirked at my irritated expression. "And why must you wear this face, m'lady?" he murmured kissing my hand.

I snatched my hand away. "Piss off, Darius," I hissed.

He quickly grabbed my waist and glared at me. "You will obey me, maiden," he snapped at me, harshly.

"Darius," a smooth voice bellowed. I turned around quickly and was unaware of the huge smile I had plastered on my face. Elijah stood there, dressed in an un-tucked black button down shirt and black jeans. One of his most casual looks. He glared at Darius over my head. "I would expect you to show this young lady some respect for she has been nothing but kind to you," Elijah was in front of me, crowding over me so her could speak to Darius. "These are different times, brother. The woman of today have a choice in who they love."

Darius grumbled as he turned around and walked in the opposite direction. "I would've been better off with a dagger in my chest."

"I'm sure that can be arranged," I said under my breath. Elijah chuckled and I turned back around to face him. He smiled down at me and pulled my into his arms. "I missed you so much while you were gone."

"Likewise," he said simply and inhaled deeply. The moment was ruined when Iris entered the room with my blackberry in hand.

"Eh, Elspeth, it's for you, a man named Damon Salvatore," she smiled at me handing me the phone. I broke from Elijah and took it from her, ignoring Elijah's irritated look. An Original named Xander entered the room with an amused smile on his face as he threw himself down on the sofa.

"Oooo, is that you're boyfriend?" he said, Xander being Xander. I had known Xander for a few of centuries from the late 1700's till the early 1900's and he was the one who had adapted the best to modern day language.

I looked directly at Elijah as I spoke. "No, Xander, he is not my boyfriend," although I addressed Xander, in my head it sounded as though I had been reassuring Elijah, who seemed to slightly relaxed when I said it. I pressed the phone to my ear and left the room and went outside. "What do you want Damon?"

"Guess again," a menacing voice sneered down the phone.

My heart skipped a beat and I stared blankly in front of me. "Gregory," I sighed.

"Well done, sister," he said sarcastically.

"What are you doing on Damon's phone?" I asked, growing scared, not for myself but for Damon.

"Hmmm, well let's see if he can answer that shall we?" in the background a pained scream could be heard. My stomach began to churn and I froze.

"Gregory you dare hurt him!" I warned.

"See that's the thing, sister, I can. However, if you were to come and save him, then I may not kill him," Gregory said in a casual, yet frightening tone.

"Why are you doing this, brother?" I asked, sighing in frustration.

"You betrayed me, this is my payback, the difference is I'm giving you a choice," he hissed down the phone.

I sighed. "If I promise to be there in three hours, do you promise not to hurt him?"

Gregory chuckled triumphantly. "I promise."

"If I get there and find him severely hurt I won't be so nice about keeping you alive this time, you got it?" I sneered.

"Whatever, just be there," Gregory hung up. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. I turned and saw Elijah talking happily with Iris and Xander. He couldn't come with me, his family needed him. I had to go myself.

I quickly sped into my room and packed a rucksack, packing things like a spare change of clothes, a couple of stakes and vervain darts etc, etc. Elijah then appeared in the doorway followed by Xander.

"Where are you going?" Elijah asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Mystic Falls," I said simply, putting more things in my bag.

"But why?" he asked.

I finished packing my bag and threw it over my shoulder. "Gregory has Damon," I said and began to walk out the door but Elijah stopped me.

"What the hell makes you think I'm going to let you go without me?" Elijah sneered.

I sighed and looked to Xander. "Can you give us a minute, Xander?" Xander shrugged yes and walked away. "Elijah, you're family needs you right now, I can't be selfish enough to take you away from them."

"But what if you get hurt? Or worse, killed?" he sneered.

"It's Gregory, Elijah," I raised an eyebrow.

"Then why do I have the feeling that it has Klaus written all over it?" Elijah frowned at me.

I shook my head. "Klaus wouldn't hurt anyone that Elena loved."

"What even makes you think he loves her?" Elijah asked, unconvinced.

"I know him, Elijah," I stared at him blankly.

"You forget so do I. Klaus isn't capable of love," Elijah said flatly.

I glared at him. "That's where you're wrong. Klaus is more than capable."

Elijah snorted. "Please, I know him better than anyone else."

"Wrong again," I stared at him in disgust. "You know the facts, not the man." I pushed past him and headed for the door.

"You love him, don't you?" Elijah asked, his voice emotionless.

I froze and turned to see his blank face. "Not in the way you assume."

Elijah looked away from me. "If you're not back in twenty four hours I will come for you."

I looked at him for a long moment, unsure wither I should comfort him or not. He looked betrayed at the fact I stood up for Klaus. He looked saddened by the fact that I was leaving to go help someone he hated. He looked scared by the fact I may get hurt.

"Goodbye, Elijah," I said simply before heading out the door and not looking back once, holding back the tears.

Elena's POV

"So what are the plans for tomorrow?" Klaus asked, perched on my bed with his hands behind his head. I held up the next bikini top against my body, considering it.

"Well in the evening I have the party at the falls but before I can even think about that I have the car wash from eleven till about four in the afternoon," I explained.

"Ah so that's what the bikini's are all about! And here I was thinking you were just torturing me for your own amusement," Klaus said, a hint of humour behind his voice.

I turned around and smiled at him. He winked at me and I felt like I could just die right there. It was obvious that he saw this in my face.

"Come here," he demanded, I smiled shyly and made me over to him, standing over him at the side of my bed. He took my hand in his, and when I thought he was going to do something cute, he did something completely in his nature. He pulled on top of him and rolled us over so that he was on top of me.

I burst out laughing. "That was not fair!"

Klaus kissed me lightly. "What can I say? I'm very bad," he nearly yelled and began to kiss my neck. I laughed and tried to push his head to see meet my gaze but failed, he was far too preoccupied.

"Shh! Alaric is downstairs with Jeremy!" I hissed at him.

He smirked against my collarbone. "Oh my god Elena! Yeah, keep doing that, oh dear god!" Klaus began to moan rather loudly, loud enough for downstairs to hear. I hit his head in frustration and embarrassment. He chuckled against my neck but before he could do anything else I had squirmed away from underneath him. He perched himself on his elbows and glared at me.

"Get back here...now," he growled. I gave him an annoyed look and thought for a moment.

I shrugged. "Nope," I raced for the already open window and quickly stuck my leg out. I took one last look at Klaus' annoyed/amused expression and climbed all the way out, balancing on the window ledge. I carefully shuffled along till I was met with the large tree outside. I gently stepped onto the large branch before taking myself the entire way and climbing along. I quickly climbed down the tree and onto the lawn. I looked up at my window to see Klaus looking out with a smile on his face, shaking his head.

"If you want me! Come get me!" I shouted up to him but before I could turn around, there he was, standing right behind me. He looked at me, amused before picking me up bridal style, resulting in me screaming in surprised amusement. I laughed. "What are you doing?"

"Well I caught you, I'm simply claiming my prize," and with that he kissed me and my mind was sent to a different universe I could only recognise as bittersweet passion.

Again, so sorry for the lack of update. Next chapter will probably most likely take place at the car wash and then Elena's birthday. Also you will find out what happens with Damon and Elspeth and Gregory.

My god it was fun writing Elspeth again. Elijah was awesome to write too!

Just before I go I just really want to apologize to Olivia (. Pierce). I'm so sorry for not speaking to you for the past week or so but life has been pretty hetic! I plan to make it up to you in a way I sure as hell hope you'll like!

Please don't forget to review and thanks for reading!
