Chapter 25

Elspeth's POV

I found Elijah in his room at the local B&B. He had a glass of bourbon and was intently reading an rather old looking book. His eyes shot up at me as I entered the room. He then went back to his book.

"I thought I told you to stay away from me?" he said casually.

I glared at him. "Cut the crap, Elijah," he looked up at me, wide eyed. "Why did you compel Damon in fifty five?"

Elijah got up. "What are you talking about?"

"I know you compelled him to forget me. Why?" I asked.

"How did you know it wasn't Klaus?" he asked.

I rolled my eyes. "Klaus and I didn't speak for the entire of the fifties."

Elijah sighed. "When Damon left you, you came to me. You were so sad. It pained me to see you so upset. I was angry with him. I didn't want him to go anywhere near you again. So I compelled him to forget you."

He walked away from me.

"But why?" I asked him.

"But why? But why she asks?" he muttered to himself. "Because I care about you, Elspeth! And seeing you with him just tears me apart!"

My jaw dropped. "I can't believe I'm hearing this."

"What, Elspeth? Is it so hard to hear? I care about you! I wasn't supposed to, but I do!" He exclaimed throwing his hands in the air.

"What do you mean 'wasn't supposed to'?" I asked, furrowing my brows. His face fell to guilt, shock and regret in a moment. He had said something he wasn't meant to say. "Elijah, what are you talking about?"

He sighed. "Do you remember when we first met? It was in the early late 1300's. You and I got a lot closer," he smiled slightly to himself. I nodded, growing confused. "You remember Charlotte, don't you?"

"How can I forget? She was the first doppleganger," I said. Then I realised. Around her time, Elijah had been especially loving and flirty. But he and Klaus had been in love with her. I stared at him wide eyed. He had used me to get to her. He used to me to make her jealous. And Charlotte had almost ended up with him... "You...you used me?" he looked away from me in shame. "You sick, twisted, selfish bastard!" I lunged myself at him.

I tackled him to the ground, catching him off guard. My hand went for his neck and tightened in an attempt to strangle him. He tried not to fight back. He tried to let me take out my rage. But in the end he couldn't resist. He grasped my neck with his hand and pushed me against the wall, drawing his fangs. Was he really going to bite me?

I quickly grabbed his arm and snuck under it, freeing myself.

"After everything I did for you?" I screamed. "It was all a lie."

"It isn't a lie, Elspeth!" he screamed right back at me. "My feelings are clear now, it's you, it's always been you!"

I shook my head, feeling the tears stream down my face. I heard the door fly open and I looked over to the door. He stood there, his pale blue eyes filled with concern and worry as they locked with mine.

"Damon," I sighed throwing myself into his arms. He soothed my hair and hushed me gently.

"It's okay, Ellie, I'm here," he whispered taking me out of the B&B. Taking me away from the building. Taking me back to the Boarding House. He placed me down on his bed and looked at me with great sadness. "I was right, wasn't I?"

I nodded. "Please don't say I told you so," I whispered, not bringing myself to look at him. "I'm sorry, Damon. For everything I've done that was remotely unkind to you. I'm so sorry."

"Hey," he took my chin and made me look at him. "Look at me," his eyes met mine. "It wasn't you're fault. Because at the end of day, Elspeth. You're the woman I love," he said, in the sweetest, most loving, most deepening tone I could ever hear. "And I-"

I interrupted him by crashing my lips to his in a moment of love, care, understanding and pure bliss.

Elena's POV

Caroline and Bonnie left to let me sleep. And when I awoke I found myself back at home. (Either Klaus, Stefan, Damon or Caroline had worked their compulsion magic). Jeremy stood in the doorway when I woke up. No one had told him about the whole pregnancy thing. He made me chicken soup to help me feel better. It kinda worked.

However, I still couldn't stop thinking about what happened. I was going to be a mom. I was going to have a family. And I didn't even know. I could've had a boy. I could've had a girl. And I didn't even know.

I knew what I had to do now. Being with Klaus, harmed those around me. I thought about Jenna. She would never have died if it weren't for Klaus. I thought John. He would have never have died in the sacrifice didn't go underway. I thought about Tyler and Caroline. They would have never turned into monsters if it weren't for Klaus' hold he had on Katherine. I thought about my unborn baby. He would've been okay I hadn't been with Klaus after I left him. Sofia wouldn't have found the need to kill me or him.

After much thinking I eventually fell asleep. However I was awakened when I felt a pair of arms wrap round my waist. Klaus rested his chin on my shoulder and wrapped his leg around me. It didn't take me long to notice he was wearing only his boxers.

I sighed and turned over to face him.

"What's wrong? Do you still hurt?" he asked, furrowing his brows.

"No," I reassured him. However, I slowly removed myself from his grasp and sat up and faced him. "Klaus, I don't think we can do this anymore."

He perched himself up on his elbow and looked up at me. "What do you mean? Jeremy's staying over at Bonnie's and Alaric is at his apartment."

"No you don't understand," I shook my head. "Klaus we can't be together, it's too dangerous."

"What do you mean dangerous?" he sat up and faced me. "I'm the most powerful being on the planet, how could I possibly let anything harm you."

"But look at what happened the other night," I insisted. I felt tears gather. "I lost my baby. A baby I didn't even know I had. The only thing that could've prevented that from happening is if you and I weren't together."

"This can't over, I won't allow it," he leaned closer to me but I shied away by sitting on the edge of my bed with my back to him. It wasn't long before I felt him behind me. His warm breath on the back of my neck sending tingles down my back.

"Please, just leave," I quietly begged.

His lips brushed the back of my neck and traced along my shoulder, coming to the strap of pyjama top, gracefully and gently pulling his down with his delicate finger tips. He continued to kiss my shoulder and I found myself loosing my mind under his touch. But I had to wake up. I had to.

"Stop!" I stood up. "Can you please stop making it harder than it already is!"

He stood up and looked down at me. I tried not to look at his body. He cupped my face. "I can't loose you."

I let a tear slip. "You have to."

"Why?" he asked.

"Because everywhere you go you bring death with you. And I can't have that around my family," I tried to say it as harshly as I could. I needed him to leave. I needed him to leave so that I wouldn't have the constant urge to give into my love for him and run straight back into his arms.

His jaw dropped slightly and his eyes angered. "You love me and you want to be with me."

"No, I don't." I said, not looking at him.

He inhaled angrily. "You're lying and it doesn't take extra senses to know that."

"Just leave Klaus!" I shouted. He placed a hand on my cheek but I swatted it away. "Don't."

"Why are you being like this?" he asked. I looked away from him and felt more tears gather. "If this is about our child-"

"Don't Klaus, please," I insisted.

"No you don't, Elena!" he snapped. He placed two hands on my cheeks. "You think I'm not upset about this? It kills me to think that we could've have had a family together and it was taken away so easily! But we can try again, Lena. We don't have to try right away but in the future-"

"Stop," I interrupted. "Do you honestly think that you and I could possibly have a future together?"

"Well of course I do," he said casually.

I shook my head. "No you don't, you think you do but you know you don't. Because in months time, you'll grow bored of me. You'll think of me like you did your other human lovers, you'll toss me aside.:

"That's not true," he insisted.

"I'll bet that you don't even love me," I accused him.

"You know I do," he hissed.

"Well then tell me. Tell me that you love me. And I'll go back to bed with you," I said. He stared at me for a moment before opening his mouth. But nothing came out. Sending major disappointment through me. He closed his mouth and looked away. "Leave, Klaus, please, before I change my mind."

He hung his head low. And made his way to my window. With one final look over his shoulder he disappeared.

The second he was gone I broke down. It was supposed to feel better. Knowing that my family were now safe. But why did it hurt so damn much?

*sniffle*
