Another new chapter!!. I have thought about it and I have decided to keep with how things are in the spin-off, Hayley being pregnant with Klaus' child.

I must be dreaming right now. It's the only explanation as to why the man from my dreams is standing right before me in the doorway looking exactly the same apart from his clothing and hair, both modern and not a few hundred years out of my time.

It's just not possible that not only is he real, but he's an Original, one of the very first vampires in creation, someone who actually exists and isn't the myth I always believed they were.

I'm very quickly starting to feel like I was going crazy, like I was seeing things that weren't real and only existed in my damn head. Why the hell am I not waking up right now?.

The way he's looking at me right now makes me feel as if we're the only two people in the room just like in all those dreams we shared. But I have to keep telling myself over and over that this man, this Original, was nothing but a dangerous stranger hell bent on sacrificing my cousin in order to break some ancient curse.

I automatically back away a little, him ending up in front of me in a flash, his dark intense yet gentle eyes boring deeply into my pale blue ones.

"You're...alive?. How is this possible?," he murmured , his hand moving to my face, his fingers brushing along my cheek.

"I...I'm not...I...I don't even know you," I whispered, wanting to move further away finding I can't desperately wanting him to touch me some more, watching him frown.

Then he moves his eyes to my cousin, staring at her, his gaze not quite so intense as it had been with me. I swallow hard watching him move in towards her neck, inhaling her scent unable to push this nauseous feeling out of my stomach.

"Human. It's impossible. Hello there. We have a long journey ahead of us. We should be going."

"Please, don't let him take us," Elena cried making me automatically reach out for her hand, grasping it.

"One last piece of business. Then we're done," Elijah stated turning away from us, looking at Trevor, him still looking scared.

"I've waited so long for this day, Elijah. I'm truly very sorry," Trevor said, his voice shaking a little.

"Oh no, your apology is not necessary."

"Yes. Yes, it is. You trusted me with Katerina and I failed you."

"Well, yes, you are the guilty one. And Rose aided you because she was loyal to you. That I honour. Where was your loyalty?."

"I beg your forgiveness."

"So granted."

For some strange reason, his next move doesn't surprise me, his hand moving out fast, decapitating Trevor, his body falling to the floor. Even though I dislike Rose, I can't help but feel sorry for her hearing her cries.

"YOU!."

"Don't, Rose. Now that you're free. Come," he said approaching Elena, holding his hand out.

"No, what about the moonstone?."

"What do you know about the moonstone?."

"I know that you need it. And I know where it is."

"Yes?."

"I can help you get it."

"Tell me where it is."

"It doesn't work that way."

"Elena, what are you doing?," I mumbled glancing over at her, my hand dropping from hers.

"Are you negotiating with me?," Elijah asked, looking over at Rose.

"It's the first I've heard of it," Rose answered, her still upset over Trevor's death.

"What's this vervain doing round your neck?. Tell me where the moonstone is."

"In the tomb underneath the church ruins," Elena answered him, him having ripped off her necklace, it clearly having had vervain in it allowing him to compel her.

"What is it doing there?."

"It's with Katherine."

"Interesting. What is that?," he asked, letting Elena go, the sounds of footsteps suddenly echoing through the house.

"I don't know," Rose said.

"Who else is in this house?."

"I don't know."

I get grabbed by the arm, Elijah forcing myself and my cousin up the stairs and out of the room ending up in the main hallway. And we see somebody move incredibly fast in front of us.

I break free of him moving fast to my cousin, wrapping an arm around her, more fast movement happening, it clearly from another vampire.

"Rose?."

"I don't know who it is."

"UP HERE!."

"DOWN HERE!."

Suddenly, a stake comes out of nowhere ending up impaled in Elijah's hand, him pulling it out. And I end up grabbed and yanked out of the room, ending up against the wall, a hand over my mouth, that hand clearly belonging to one of the vampires who came to rescue Elena.

"Excuse me. To whom it may concern. You're making a grave mistake if you think that you can beat me. You can't. You hear that?. I repeat...You cannot best me. I want the girls on the count of three or heads will roll. Do we understand each other?," Elijah stated, him breaking apart what looks like a coat stand.

I shove the raven-haired vampire off me watching him raise his eyebrows at me making my way slowly back into the hallway watching my cousin do the same at the top of the stairs.

"I'll go with you. Just please don't hurt my friends. They just wanted to help me out," she said, him speeding up the stairs towards her making her jump.

"What game are you playing with me?."

Suddenly, she pulls something out from behind her, yanking something out of it then throwing it at Elijah, it exploding, starting to instantly burn his skin, him crying out. Clearly, it was vervain and it only seems to have an effect for a matter of seconds, his skin healing.

Another man comes out of nowhere, starting to fire something at Elijah, it having no real effect on him before tackling him, the two falling down the stairs, him getting back up almost immediately.

I can't help but scream watching the dark-haired vamp come at him with the broken coat stand driving it into his heart pushing him back into the front door, impaling him, his skin going grey, him dessicating in seconds.

"Hey, just...just let her go, okay?," I sighed , Rose having left the house in a hurry, looking at him.

I turn to look at Elena, smiling, her coming down the stairs, moving to her fast, hugging her tightly, her returning my hug.

Even though it was all over and Elijah was dead, I can't help but feel the exact opposite of what I should be feeling. And why do I feel like it was far from truly over?.
