Elena and Dia continue to sit in the basement waiting for Elijah to wake up.
"How long is this supposed to take?" Dia asked breaking the silence.
"I really don't know" Elena looked at her. "Thank you for staying. I just thought Elijah seeing you would calm him down just a bit."
"I know. I agree" Dia said quietly.
Elijah suddenly gasped and woke up. Elena and Dia rushed over to Elijah. He looked at the two of them in shock.
"Katerina! Marina!" he gasped.
England 1492
Elijah laid on his bed shirtless with Marina on top of him. Their lips moved in sync as his fingers tangled themselves in her long brown hair. He lips moved down to her jaw line then to her neck. Marina moaned softly as Elijah gently nibbled on her neck.
"Go ahead" Marina breathed softly.
Elijah pulled away looking at her. His face started to change as his fangs popped out. He gently kissed Marina's neck and sunk his fangs into her neck. Marina pressed her hand against the back of Elijah's head allowing him to drink more. Elijah sat up and laid Marina on her back still drinking from her. He finally pulled away and licked his lips and smiled satisfied. He brought his wrist to his mouth and bit down and placed his writs on Marina' mouth allowing her neck to heal. He pulled it away after the bite was completely gone. He smiled at her before finding her lips again.
"We're going to be late for the party" Marina pulled away breathless. "Klaus will be displeased if we do not go especially if what Trevor said about having the doppelganger"
"Then we must not keep him waiting" Elijah looked at her.
Trevor stood speaking with a woman, when Elijah came over and joined him.
"Ah, good evening, Trevor. I am pleased you could join us" Elijah greeted.
"I could not miss the birthday celebration" Trevor replied.
"No, considering the gift you claim to bear. Where is this mystery girl of which you speak?" Elijah said.
"Right this way" Trevor said. Elijah followed him and rejoined a woman.
"My dear" Trevor smiled.
"Hello" the woman turned her attention to Elijah, who just stared at her in shock.
"Elijah! It's me, it's Elena" Elena told him.
"Oh my god" Elijah gasped again.
"Shh" Dia grabbed his hand.
"Forgive me. You remind me of someone" Elijah told the young woman.
"Katerina, may I introduce the lord Elijah" Trevor introduced the pair. She took his hand and bowed.
"Pleasure, my lord" Katerina smiled.
"The pleasure's mine. Katerina" Elijah said kissing her hand.
Elijah closed eyes his hand still gripping Dia's. Elena moved closer to his body. Elijah shot up gasping for air.
" I can't- I can't breathe! What's happening to me?" he gasped. He rushed over the door but fell over. Elena and Dia ran over to him and tried to help him up.
"I can't... I can't be in this house" he exclaimed. Dia frowned and looked up at Elena.
"You're not invited in" Elena realized.
"I can't be in here" Elijah looked at them both. He fell against the wall and sped out of the room. Elena and Dia ran after them and went to the front door and saw Elijah standing outside. He tried to enter, but was unable to.
"What happened?" Elijah demanded.
"Shh!" Elena said. She pointed to her ear meaning that Stefan and Damon could hear them.
"We'll tell you, not here. Can we trust him" Elena whispered looking at Dia.
"The more important question is can I trust you?" Elijah whispered. Elena handed him the dagger and he took it.
"You know you can trust me" Dia looked at Elijah.
Stefan woke up in his bedroom and looked around and saw Elena wasn't there. He got up and went downstairs.
"Elena!" he called running into Damon.
"Have you seen Dia?" Damon asked.
"No. Have you seen Elena?" Stefan replied.
"Nope" Damon frowned. "They're both missing"
"I'll try calling Elena" Stefan pulled out his phone. It went straight to voicemail.
"Hey, it's me. Where are you and Dia? Call me" Stefan said before hanging up. He looked over and saw the basement door open. Stefan rushed over down to the basement with Damon following. Stefan walked into the cellar and saw that Elijah's body was gone. Damon appeared beside him.
"No, they didn't" Damon sneered.
Elena parked her car. She looked over at Elijah who was drinking a blood bag.
"You look better" Elena said.
"Where did you get the dagger?" Elijah asked.
"I'll tell you everything. But we have to work together, Elijah. I need your word" Elena said.
"Your ability to make demands has long passed" Elijah sneered.
"No demands. I'm offering you my help. And in return, I want yours" Elena told him.
"And why should I even consider this?" Elijah looked at Elena then Dia.
"Elijah please" Dia looked at him. Elijah turned to her in the backseat
"The same reason that you haven't killed me or Dia. You need our help to kill Klaus. And we both need you" Elena said.
Elena's phone began to ring. She looked at it and looked at Dia.
"Stefan" she said.
"That means Damon knows" Dia repied.
"Where are you? Are you ok?" Stefan asked Elena.
"Yes, I'm fine" Elena said. "Dia is too."
"Where's Elijah?" Stefan demanded.
"He's right here" Elena looked at Elijah.
"Where? I'm on my way" Stefan said.
"Listen to me. He can't be trusted He'll use you to get to Klaus and who knows what'll he'll do to Dia" Stefan exclaimed.
"Elijah is a noble man, Stefan. He lives by a code of honor. I can trust him. He knows that I'd be incredibly stupid to betray him again. By removing the dagger, I have proven myself. You and I both know that he wouldn't do anything to Dia as well" Elena explained.
"You can't do this alone" Stefan said.
"It's my decision, Stefan. Please respect it." Elena said firmly.
"And tell him make sure Damon doesn't do anything stupid" Dia told her.
"And make sure that Damon doesn't do anything stupid. I'll be in touch" Elena said before hanging up the phone. Elena looked at Elijah and he held out his hand for her phone. She handed it to him.
"I'll be needing yours as well my dear" Elijah looked back at Dia.
"Did she just hang up on you?" Damon asked.
"She did" Stefan replied.
"She's lost it" Damon said. "They both have."
"If anyone can get him to help us kill Klaus, it's her and Dia" Stefan said.
"Bonnie's the way to kill Klaus, Stefan. He thinks she's dead. We have a chance with her" Damon told her.
"She'll kill herself in the process. Elena and Dia are looking for another way" Stefan shot back.
"Their way's going to get them killed. So we need to find them and stop them" Damon said getting up.
"No you need to back off" Stefan told him.
"What?" Damon frowned.
"Look, I don't like this any more than you do. But we need to trust them. We gotta just let them do their thing" Stefan looked at him.
"That might be your plan. Mine's better" Damon said trying to leave. Stefan grabbed his arm.
"I said back off" Stefan sneered. "What's this really about?"
"Elijah kissed Dia" Damon said. "He's with her god knows where I don't trust him with her."
"He's here" Elena told Elijah.
"Klaus is here?" Elijah frowned.
"He's taken over Alaric's body" Elena explained.
"Of course he has. One of his favorite tricks" Elijah said.
"Excuse me?" Dia asked. "One of his favorite tricks?"
"Well, what are his other tricks? What is he going to do next? You're the only one who knows him" Elena said.
"Yes I do" Elijah said sadly.
"So where is this mysterious host I've heard so much about?" Katerina asked Elijah.
"Fashionably late. He likes to make an entrance" Elijah smiled. He looked over and saw someone coming down the stairs.
"Here he is" he said to Katerina.
Klaus was hidden by the crowd. Katerina desperately tried to spot him. When she finally saw him he walked up to her and Elijah.
"Katerina, may I introduce to you the lord Niklaus" Elijah said.
Klaus kissed her hand and smiled. "Niklaus is the name my father gave me. Please. Call me Klaus."
"Ahh Marina" Elijah said suddenly. Katerina turned and saw a young woman walked up to Elijah.
"Marina Vladiou, this is Katerina" Elijah introduced them.
"It's a pleasure" Marina bowed. "Good evening Klaus."
"Hello Marina. You look ravishing as always. I see you have been keeping Elijah occupied" Klaus smirked.
Elijah knocked on the door of the Lockwoods place. Carol answered the door.
"Elijah, Dia Elena! What are you doing here? What happened?" Carol asked looking at Elijah covered in soot.
"I've had a bit of an incident, Carol. I'm hoping you could help" Elijah asked nicely.
"Well, I'm on my way to a meeting, so I—" Carol stopped looking into Elijah's eyes. He was compelling her.
"We won't take but a minute of your time" Elijah told her.
" Of course. Anything you need" she smiled.
"Thank you" Elijah said walking in with Elena and Dia.
"Well, first things first. I'm going to need a change of clothing" Elijah told Carol.
" Well, we can try one of my husband's suits. I haven't boxed them up yet" Carol told her.
"Wonderful" Elijah smiled as Carol walked up the stairs.
"How did you know she's not on vervain?" Elena asked.
"'Cause I'm the one who got her off it. Right before you and your friends killed me. Twice. If you'll excuse me. I'll be done in a moment" Elijah said giving one last look to Dia. He smiled at her.
Elena frowned at this. "Is something going on with you two?"
"What are you talking about?" Dia looked at her.
"Have you not seen the way he looks at you?" Elena crossed her arms.
"Oh alright" Dia rolled her eyes. She lowered her voice.
"When he found me in New York, we….we kissed."
Elena's eyes grew wide. "Does Damon know?"
"Yes" Dia sighed. "It didn't mean anything."
"Does Elijah know that?" Elena asked.
Elijah, Dia and Elena sat in the living room of the Lockwood's house.
"So I assume that the Martin witches are no longer with us" Elijah asked.
"No I'm sorry" Elena replied.
"And Katerina? She would have been released from my compulsion when I died" Elijah looked at them.
"She was" Dia answered.
"Klaus took her. We think that she may be dead" Elena told him.
"I doubt that. Not Klaus' style. Death would be too easy for her after what she did" Elijah replied.
"I don't understand. You say that you want Klaus dead, but you still made Katherine pay for betraying him" Elena frowned.
"I have my own reasons for wanting Katerina to pay. There was a time... I'd have done anything for Klaus" Elijah spoke.
"Why?" Elena asked.
"From where have you come, Katerina?" Klaus asked her.
"I'm new to town, my lord" she replied.
Elijah looked at Klaus and smiled.
"Katerina is from Bulgaria" Elijah told him.
"Zradevei, Katerina" Klaus smiled.
"Very good" Katerine laughed.
Klaus looked over at Elijah.
"Do you mind, brother? I would like to have a moment alone with her" Klaus said.
"Not at all. Happy Birthday, brother" Elijah smiled. He looked at Marina and smiled and kissed her hand.
"Yes. Klaus is my brother" Elijah said to a stunned Dia and Elena.
"I heard that. I'm still processing" Elena said.
"Wow" Dia spoke.
"Yes, I'm a little behind on the times, but I believe the term you're searching for is O.M.G" he said sipping tea.
