Elijah: Elena.

She turns around to see him standing the entrance, hands in pockets.

Elena: Elijah.

She says in a shaky breath. She shakes her head as tears starts to fall from her eyes.

Elena: No..No, no, no.

Elijah: No, what, Elena?

He frowns and slowly walks to her til he's a few inches away.

Elena: I didn't want it back. I don't want my emotions back. I don't want go home with them. I hated that sire bond! I hate the cure! I hate Katherine!

She raised voice a little. He embraced her in a hug as she started crying. He held her there as she cried.

Elijah: Tell me everything that happened, Elena.

He asked her softly as she calmed down and stopped crying. It broke his heart that she was crying. After she told him everything, he wanted to kill Katherine and Damon... He wanted to kill himself for making that deal with Katherine. He said as much after she finished talking.

Elena: Don't kill anyone for me over this. At least not Katherine. I want my revenge. And especially not you. I don't blame you. I could've killed someone if I didn't see you when I did.

Elijah: And why is it did you only turned your emotions on at the sight of me? I'm sure your friends tried to turn it on.

He had an idea why, he just wanted to hear her say it.

Elena: I-I..I care about you.

She whispered and buried her face even further in his neck.

Elena: I love you.

She said, not expecting anything in return. Elijah pulled back a little to look her in her eyes, just for a moment. Taking a deep breath, he spoke.

Elijah: I love you too, Lovely Elena.

Elena's eyes watered, and she smiled. Smiling back, Elijah kissed her passionately, to which Elena returned.


AN: I'm back. Sorry it's been so long since I've updated anything. I've been working to update stories, but it feels like I've been away too long and I keep getting stuck when writing the next chapter. I've had this one just sitting here. Even though it's short, I fixed it up some, so you can have something while I work on updating the stories here. I'm gonna try and go in order of when I published them.
