AN: I'm pretty happy about this chapter seeing as how i wrote it in literally like 20 minutes lol but enjoy! i left it at a cliffhanger sorry! Review and let me know what you think
Elena woke up screaming and covered in sweat but covered her mouth once she realized she was awake hoping she didn't wake anyone up.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Klaus said bursting through the door.
"Y-yes" She said breathing hard. "I just had a bad dream is all." She looked down at her hands trying not to cry.
"Thank god." Klaus breathed "I thought you were hurt."
"No I just" She paused not knowing if she could talk casually with Klaus.
"Yes?"
"I dreamt that Jeremy was in trouble and it just makes me miss him. I just wish I could make sure he's okay." She couldn't help but let a few tears slip from her eyes. Klaus didn't know how to comfort her. He wasn't good with crying woman in the first place and the only thing that would make her feel better he couldn't do. It would be a huge risk he wasn't willing to take.
"I'm sorry." He said grabbing her hand hoping it would calm her down.
"Thanks." She said leaning into him and letting the tears keep flowing. He stiffened when she grabbed onto him. He never had anyone hold him like that. Like he was the only thing that could make things better. He closed his eyes holding onto that moment until she let go.
"Sorry." She said quietly.
"No harm done." He smiled sweetly. "Get some sleep." He said quietly as he left the room.
She stared at the door for a few minutes. Why was she acting like this? She couldn't be so casual with the person who ruined her life. And he was being way too nice to her. It was weird. She was confused and didn't want to think of her contradicting opinions on Klaus. Elena threw off the comforter she was tangled in and tip toed to the hallways. After she was satisfied no one was awake she walked into the living room to watch TV. She smiled when she found Sabrina the Teenage Witch on. Her favorite.
"I always found that show amusing." Elijah said walking in dressed in sweat pants and a black v neck t-shirt.
"Oh my god!" She screamed. "You scared me Elijah." She breathed grabbing her chest.
"Sorry." He chuckled. "May I watch with you? I couldn't sleep."
"Me either and yes you may." She said moving over and sharing the blanket with him.
After a few minutes Elijah couldn't help but talk to her.
"Are you getting settled in here fine?" He said politely
"Yes" She chuckled to herself "As settled as one could get when they are being held against their will."
"I'm sorry you had to be taken like that but we are all just trying to protect you."
"From what?" She said sarcastically
"Stefan for one, he tried to kill you. And all the other various supernatural things I'm sure you would have gotten yourself mixed up him." He laughed thinking of how easily this one girl who was so important seemed to get into trouble.
"Whatever." She said clearly not wanting to talk about it. "At least Klaus has been nice but I still could never be truly happy here. And I will find a way back to my family whether it's at his expense or not." She said bitterly not believing the words as they came out of her mouth. She heard a creak from the doorway and jumped up to see Klaus looking furious.
"Klaus I-"Elena said wanting to explain herself
"Brother don't do anything stupid." Elijah said planting himself in front of Elena.
"Leave." Klaus said tight lipped.
"Klaus-"
"Leave!" He screamed into Elijah's face. Elijah didn't want to make him even angrier so he left after looking at Elena apologetically.
After a few moments Klaus grabbed Elena by the arm and tugged her along behind him.
"Where are we going?"
"Shut up."
"Please, I didn't mean it." She said tearfully
"I'll show you something that will put your dreams of killing me to get back to your family to rest." He smiled darkly.
He stopped abruptly when they arrived in a clearing in the woods. Elena looked around confused.
"Sit" He commanded. When she didn't so as he said he grabbed her arm and yanked her down to the ground. She sat quietly looking at him as he started taking off his shirt. She furrowed her brows confused. She screamed as he started to transform into a werewolf.
"Klaus don't please!" She screamed knowing he wouldn't be able to control his actions when he was a werewolf. She watched him continue to writhe in agony as his bones broke and transformed. Caroline had mentioned that for Tyler it took a long time but after 5 minutes Klaus was already in his wolf form. She backed herself into a tree. The wolf advanced towards her still with its fangs barred dripping with saliva. She closed her eyes for a moment collecting herself and willing herself to get up so she didn't have to die like this. After a second she darted up and sprinted in the direction she thought they came.
"Elijah!" She screamed hoping he would hear her cries and help her.
"Kol! Anyone!" She screamed getting desperate. The adrenaline worked through her body keeping her going even though all she wanted to do was collapse. Elena cried in pain as she tripped on a tree stump and fell. She watched in horror as the wolf slowed down to slowly walk towards her as her deep arm wound spilled her blood everywhere. The blood was what pushed the wolf over the edge. He jumped the last few feet to Elena and dug his razor sharp teeth into Elena's arm.
Off in the distance Elijah heard a blood curdling scream and animal snarls. He realized it was Elena and immediately opened the door to listen more closely. The smell of her blood hit his nose with force. He ran towards the smell and found Elena trying to fight the animal off. She didn't even notice him. He ripped a branch off the closest tree and ran towards Klaus with it. He missed the first time when the animal realized what was going on but he successfully staked him the second time making the wolf run away. He stared at how fragile Elena looked like she would pass away at any moment. He quickly surveyed her body to see how extensive the damage was. Her arm looked like an old chew toy gnawed on and then forgotten as Klaus moved onto her torso tearing it apart. He quickly checked to make sure she was still alive. He felt her shallow breathing on his finger tips and breathed again. He picked her up carefully then ran to the safety of the house hoping that she wouldn't die in his arms on the way there.
