Chapter 35

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

Hey guys I decided to do Elejah. This takes place during season 4 after Elena becomes a vampire. Enjoy.

Elena was walking around in the woods thinking about everything that happened. She found out that she had died and turned into a vampire. She broke up with Stefan because she was sired to Damon. And now she felt so lost and confused. Elena was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard something. She looked around wondering what it was. Suddenly in a flash she was knocked to the ground. She looked around before trying to run when a werewolf jumped her. It growled and was on top of her. It's teeth showing and drooling slightly. Her eyes widened and she felt fear over take her. Before the werewolf could bit her it was thrown off of her and in the next second she heard a ripping of skin and bone before she heard a lifeless heart. She turned to see him holding the werewolf's head that he had ripped clean off the body. He turned to her; all Elena could do, was stare. She hadn't seen him since he had made that deal.

"Elena," He said. She swallowed hard looking out him. He looked just the same as when she had seen him last time. But found him slightly more handsome than when she had observed him when she was human. She shook her head, she was actually finding him attractive.

"Elijah," She greeted. She always noticed that they greeted each other by saying the other's name. He dropped the head of the wolf and took out a hanky of what it look like. He wiped the blood off his hands with it.

"What are you doing in Charleston, South Carolina here alone?" He asked. She huffed.

"I could ask you the same thing." She said.

"Well excuse me but I asked you first. I am here because this is where I live now. I have for a while and I have always loved the town." He explained and waited for her to explain. She sighed.

"Mystic Falls, I am tired of the town. Stefan and Damon are arguing. I broke up with Stefan. I am sired to Damon. They all happen to be looking for the cure because they all want me to be human again. I mean I want to be human but they are always deciding for me. I feel like I don't even have a voice or much less, freedom." She said looking to the ground. Elijah looked at her.

"You are sired to Damon. I had heard that you had turned but I didn't think that you would be sired to him." He said. She sighed and nodded.

"I want to break it so I will have my free will back. But I don't mind if I am in love with Damon or not." Elijah nodded.

"Well there are three ways to break it." She raised an eyebrow and looked at him confused. She had heard that there was only one way and that was for Damon to send her away.

"I thought the only way was for Damon to release me or send me away." She said. He nodded.

"That is one way. But being a thousand years old has it's perks of knowledge. There is a way by getting the blood of your original bloodline. Niklaus fortunately, taking his blood and having a witch activate it so that over it would override his and make you un sired to him." He said. She sighed she knew Klaus would want something in return.

"What's the last one?" She asked. Elijah shrugged.

"Finding your true mate," She blinked twice and stared at him.

"Mate?" He nodded.

"Mate as in someone you were born or destined to be with and only that person." She raised an eyebrow.

"Vampires have mates?" Elijah nodded.

"Everyone has a mate humans just sometimes don't find it because their emotions are not heightened or understand that they do. For example werewolves in particular have the easiest time finding their mates." Elena thought about this.

"Like Tyler," He nodded. "With Caroline," He shook his head.

"Mr. Lockwood and Miss Forbes may be together, but when I heard that they was werewolf in town a female. I was not surprised when I heard that they were the ones in the Appalachians. I was around there at some time. Though nothing happened when I was there I had seen that the two were mates the way they couldn't keep their eyes off one another touch with being drawn to one another." Elena looked at him.

"So Tyler and Caroline are not mates?" She said in disbelief. He nodded.

"If you had seen what I had than you would know." She looked at him.

"So Caroline has a mate somewhere out there that isn't Tyler." Elena said. Elijah had a knowing smile and turned to look at something. "Elijah? You know something what?"

"I think your friend has already met her mate but she doesn't seem to be accepting." She stared at him.

"Accepting who?" She couldn't help but ask.

"Well you might not believe me if I told you." She gave him a look. He sighed. "My brother, Niklaus." She stared at him before letting out a laugh.

"You're joking right," But she could see that Elijah wasn't. "No way, Klaus and Caroline? Caroline doesn't even like Klaus."

"I think your friend tries to make others think that but if you leave them alone in a locked room I am fairly certain that it would only take a day. Your friend I think is afraid of what you all might think of her if she gave in to him. But at the same time she is afraid that he might leave her once she gives in. My brother doesn't know that they are mates. But that is one of the reasons why I know that she is my brother's mate. No woman in the last thousand years has made him so drawn, if my brother only wanted to get in bed with your friend and she rejected him this long. He wouldn't be still trying. And if he still wanted that all he would have to do is compel her." Elena shook her head. "Being as he is part werewolf his wolf self is becoming slightly desperate for her. That's why he is going to such lengths."

"So who is my mate?" Elijah looked at her.

"Do you feel drawn to anyone?"

"You really asking me that?" She said thinking of Damon.

"Well to know if they were your mate you would have to much more attracted to them than any other person." He began. Elena glanced at him remembering that she had been attracted to him before. "Second, you feel somewhat connected to them just looking at one another. Basically your soul almost screaming for them-

"Elijah…do you have a mate…" He stopped to stare at her.

"No,"

"Then how do you know about this?" Elijah sighed.

"From a witch. She had been the one to tell me. But I have witnessed someone finding their mate. So I know what to look for." He said. "Third is if they were to brush against you sending what I had heard is described like electricity to your soul making one want them." He said. "And four is when you start being able to feel and understand them. But that is once they are together."

"Perhaps we should try the Klaus's blood thing." She said. He nodded.

"Allow me to take you home." He said putting his hand against her back and leading her out the woods. When his hand touched her back she felt electricity almost as if it went straight to her soul. She glanced at Elijah feeling something but now knowing what it was. Elijah turned to her to smile before walking her to his house and to the car. Was she crazy or for a second she was thinking that Elijah was her mate. Either way she didn't know why but it was as if her soul had jumped at the idea of her being with Elijah. She didn't understand it but after this she was feeling drawn to Elijah after that.

Note: Ok so guys I am thinking of doing a part II but I was going to add other pairings. Like KLAROLINE, KENNETT as other main ones. I have this really neat idea since I wrote out this story. It's still ELEJAH as the main one though. So tell me what you think. Reviews. Thanks.
