A/n: I know it's been a while now. But truthfully I lost my train of thought with this story. I just now figured out where I wanted to take this story. I got ahead of myself and wanted to post something really fast. I even thought I was going to be posting weekly. But I know I have other projects I need to focus on, but this one just came back to me of what I want to do with Elijah and Elena. I don't think I can post weekly like some authors. But I hope the times that I do post that my fans will come back and see what I wanted to do with Confessions of the Heart. I already know it's going to be a long story. I tend to write really long stories. Or they are on my mind to write. I don't think confessions will be too long. But it will be long enough to where I want to transition this maybe into Legacies at some point. It will take a long while before I get to that point but I hope everyone will stick with me on this rollercoaster of a story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Diaries, Originals, and Legacies. I just love crack ships where there are potential avenues to take. This is definitely an AU story. One that isn't cannon but could have been cannon if taken the time to see this avenue could have been. The mistakes in this are mine, I have no betta reader.

Previously on confessions of the heart:

Walking out of the mansion she was kidnaped to by Rose and Trevor she sees just how deserted the house truly is. Surrounded by trees and more trees. In another time she would have loved this place just as much as the graveyard in her town, but she can't help but despise how beautiful it looks. She's just being used. A face that isn't hers, a life that will never be hers again. Who in the world can even understand her? Or even want to?

Elijah has always fallen prey to the face of the doppelganger in his hearts of hearts he promises himself that he won't let this one destroy him like Tatia and Katerina did. But somewhere deep inside he knows to never say never. Because it tends to come back to bite you on the ass. Pulling her along a bit through the trees he notices her taking a look at the house she was at. Maybe she didn't know where she was the entire time she was here. She looks sad.

Stopping he then leans down and picks her up by her knees and wraps her arms around his neck while his other hand is holding on to her waist. He vampsped to where he lives not paying attention to anything other than the sound of her breathing. Along the way he notices that she breathes in his scent and smiles at that fact. Not knowing why he likes that she smelled him, and wondering what he smells like to her.

When they made it to his place with in the hour he sets her back on her feet when he compiles her. "You will not leave, you are to stay put and wait til the sacrafice and only then can you leave."

When she repeated his compulsion back at him that is when he goes and summons Dean to make her dinner and to feed her his blood to heal her of any and all enjuries sustained from Trevor and Rose. He's never given anyone his blood willingly with out the need to change them. Plus it feels to personal to decide that right now. Just the thought of another doppleganger in exsistance makes him wonder of all that could have been. 'Is she from Tatia's line? or Katerina?' He asks himself.

Elena goes into a another room while he goes to the bar and grabs himself a scotch and sit down with it in his hands while he keeps his eyes on her. They wait for Dean to tell them that her dinner is ready. "Can I ask questions?" She asks a bit scared of the situation of not knowing what to do to go from here. She remembers the fear in Trevor's voice and remembers Rose same exact fear. 'Their fear has to be valid of someone as strong as Elijah.' She thinks to herself.

"It depends on what you want to know." He replies accomodatingly.

"Who is Klaus?" she goes straight for the question that she wants to know hoping she will find an answer from here.

"Klaus... He's ... He's my half brother. He's a hybrid that was cursed with wolf side to lay dormant. For centeries he scoured the earth trying to find himself a doppleganger to break his curse and become the full hybrid he was meant to be from the start. I have dedicated my life to help him because there was a time I didn't help him and it made me feel like i need to do something more to help him when I couldn't have done it in the first place."

Not understanding why he was so truthful to her in that moment she goes on, "What can I do to help you both. I may be a pawn. But for me I can see it in your eyes Family is above all else in the way you speak. I'm the same way. If something were to happen to my brother I too would scour the entire earth to find what is needed to be done to help him. He's all I have."

"You don't understand." He places his untouched scotch on the side table beside him. "My half brother killed my other siblings and dumped them across the seven seas. I've been searching for them ever since. He's ruthless, sometimes people wonder about his sanity, other times they debate whether if he's good or evil. As if he can be cured of something like this. What no one knows about is that he was abused by my father for the actions of my mom and blaming him for being born."

"It does sound like a situation that sounds sticky. But maybe with my blood and me not running will help him see that there is people out there that wants to help him? Not hurt him you know?" Elena replies optimistically.

Elijah looks at her confused. 'What is with this doppleganger, why does she want to help my ruthless brother. Even if she might die for it? Does she have a death wish?' He asks himself.

"Why do you want to help Elena?" He finally asks with his hands clasped into his lap showing that he is truly confused by lifting a curious brow.

"I just know that if it was me in his situation, I would want someone to understand and want to help me. I understand that he was cursed, I too was cursed. I'm cursed to look like someone that doesn't want anything more for me to die. Maybe I have a short life already. But I want to go being noble. I want to help someone not be cursed anymore. If someone could help me with that i would be grateful. Weary yes, but grateful none the less."

"What makes you feel cursed?" Elijah finally asks her.

"What is it really? To walk this earth looking like someone else where people constantly confuse you for that person. You never know if the people who are around you love you for you or the other person instead. You don't know what's real or not. That to me is a curse more than anything. If Klaus can be freed from his course what is stopping him? People who are in love with this face." She jesters to herself and wraps her arms around herself as if to hug herself.

He truly looks at her this time. Seeing the differences between Tatia and Katerina for the first time. They all pale in comparison to this wonderful human girl. Why did it have to be her that he has to kill for his brother?
