Chapter 25

A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.

Recap: Elena and Elijah found Rebekah. Kol and Bonnie kiss.

New Orleans:

As Elena, Elijah and Rebekah made their way through the catacombs, Rebekah hung ahead of Elijah and Elena holding up her phone for light.

"God it seems like Marcel is really a vampire I mean I know he doesn't live here but still it's like death down her." Elena said. Rebekah rolled her eyes.

"May I remind you that you are also dead." Rebekah said. Elijah sighed.

"This is probably how Marcel's spies are everywhere." He said.

"Yeah well when I find him I am going to kill him for having his men attacked me." Rebekah growled. Elijah sighed.

"Well I know that Niklaus will probably not take it lightly really." Elena nodded. Suddenly there was a gust of wind and Elena looked to see Klaus, Caroline, Sophie and some boy. Elena smiled.

"Caroline your alright," Elena said. Caroline smiled.

"Yeah that vampire jumped but he didn't see that Rebekah had hit the vampire with another vampire. Though I got lost along the way looking for you guys. Then I found Sophie unconscious and Klaus in pain from the other witch." Caroline nodded to the boy. Klaus glared at the young boy.

"Let's get out of here." Sophie said. She pointed up to the stairs that went up. They walked up to a wall that looked like a door. Elijah pushed it to the side and everyone walked through it to find that they were in a old house in the cellar. They went upstairs to find a woman talking on a phone ignoring their presence. They all made it out the door before she could see them.

When they got back to the house, Elijah, Klaus and Sophie took the boy downstairs to the cellar to get some information out of him. Rebekah sighed.

"Well now that, that's taken care of I can go back to Matt." She said walking out the door without saying another word. Elena looked to Caroline.

"When I was in the tunnel I overheard Marcel talking to one of his men about looking for you." Elena said. Caroline sighed but nodded.

"I wouldn't be surprised he has tried before. Don't worry though he always fails." Caroline walked into the kitchen grabbing a blood bag. Elena realized that she really hadn't been able to fight much in the tunnel and she had overheard Marcel was also looking for her. Perhaps what Alaric had taught would not be enough because she only learned enough to take on Caroline though she didn't mean to attack Caroline. She couldn't seem to fight Marcel and his men were a little stronger and older then she was. They knew how fight really. Perhaps she needed to become a better fighter. Elena glanced to Elijah as he emerged from the cellar and Caroline walked down to the cellar. Elijah walked to her.

"Are you alright Elena?"

"I'm fine Elijah just didn't expect to be attacked and all." Elijah sighed and nodded.

"I am sorry I didn't want you to get involved but it seems that you are now."

"You don't have to apologize Elijah it wasn't your fault. None of this was." Elijah shrugged.

"You still have a chance to go back to Mystic Falls." He said. She stared at him.

"I think I will take my chances I have been through danger before." She said.

"I still think that you would be safer there but I will not tell you what to do." She smiled to him.

"That's what I like about you Elijah, you respect my decisions and don't take them away from me." Elijah shrugged.

"Elena I can't control your life, God gives you one life the least you can do is control it and do what you want not what others want." He said. Damon had always tried making decisions for her. She hated how she felt as if she didn't have a voice and couldn't speak out.

"Even when I had my humanity off you wouldn't force me to turn it back on." She said remembering the last time that she had seen him. They had kissed then and she blushed at the memory. It was when he kissed her she felt something but her humanity had been turned off but she still felt something resurface perhaps her old self when she was human.

"Elena, I wouldn't have forced you even if I couldn't bear to see you heartless and cold. It would have been the wrong thing to do because you would have never learned that you still need your humanity. When we still have out humanity it is what keeps human and not a monster. Even if it is painful and want to forget about it without those feelings you would never know how deal with life experience other emotions such as happiness or anger or love." He said.

"Yeah well after that your girlfriend snapped my neck." Elijah shook his head.

"Elena she is not my girlfriend anymore I decided that even if the girl that I originally loved came back it wouldn't be the same. It has been centuries and I feel as if I have moved on and are done with her charms." Elena nodded and felt slightly relieved that he wasn't with Katherine anymore. She didn't know how but she felt jealous of her. Perhaps the girl Camille had been right perhaps she had feelings for him that she wasn't aware of.

Mystic Falls:

Bonnie awoke to the ray of sun. She sighed and rolled over and snuggled into warmth of a pillow. She didn't realize that the warmth of the pillow was actually breathing. She opened her eyes to find Kol next to her on her bed. She was slightly relived that they both still were clothed, but was also disappointed. Kol has his arm wrapped around her tightly securing her to him. She was facing him his forehead near hers on the same pillow. She smiled and snuggled closer to him she didn't care if this was wrong she had never been happier than being with Kol right now. It sounded strange for her to think that but she didn't care. She closed her eyes and breathed in his scent. She felt his arm tighten on her waist a sign that he was awake. Bonnie opened her eyes and found light blue eyes. His fingers traced over hip and up her arm and to her cheek where he brushed his fingers across it. She closed her eyes, feeling them. She brought her hand up from his chest to his face. No one speaking just feeling. She leaned in and gave him a kiss and he kissed back with passion. She sighed.

"We should probably get up." She said. Kol smiled at her.

"No we don't." He smirked.

"Are you two going to get up already or am going to be annoyed watching you?" Bonnie stared at Stefan who was Silas but they could only see him because he was in their head. She blushed and sat up and Kol glared at the 2000 year old warlock.
