"Kol!" Elijah yelled as he busted through the door.

"What the hell?" Kol ran into the kitchen smelling the blood. His eyes widened as he saw Elijah put a mangled Elena on the kitchen table. "Give her some blood!" Kol said not knowing why Elijah was hesitating.

"I-She wouldn't want to be a vampire against her will." Elijah looked at her as the life was fading from her.

"She's going to die." Kol said bluntly "Look at her skin its turning blue. Well what skin you can see." It seemed her whole body was covered in blood. "If you don't do it I will!" Kol said shoving Elijah aside. Elijah stood there not knowing what to do while Kol cut his wrist and let the blood trickle into her mouth. After Kol couldn't give any more blood he left the room. "I hope it worked." He said as he walked back upstairs.

"Me too" Elijah whispered to himself. He sat there for hours just staring at her healing. When she finally opened her eyes dawn was breaking.

"Elena? Can you hear me?"

"Elijah?" She croaked I could tell her throat was very dry. Elijah got her a glass of water before she could finish blinking.

Elena put it aside and started crying. "Klaus. H-he-"

"I know."

"Where is he?" Elena said sitting up "That fucking bastard!"

"He ran off after I staked him He'll be back soon I assume. He usually wakes up around now." Elijah said using his business voice

"I can't believe I thought I could trust him" Elena choked back sobs. "I could have died."

"You nearly did." Kol said walking into the kitchen smiling "Good morning brother. Elena, I'm glad you made it. You're welcome by the way."

"You found me?"

"Elijah found you. I saved you." Kol laughed as he smacked Elijah on the back. Elena raised a questioning eyebrow at Elijah.

"I didn't want to feed you blood. I knew you wouldn't want to be made a vampire against your will."

"Was I that close to death?" Elena said touching her arm. The last thing she remembered was Klaus ripping into her arm. She winced remembering the feeling of her flesh tearing from her arm.

"Yes I'm very surprised you made it."

"Thank you. Both of you." Elena said turning to Kol who looked surprised he was getting a thank you.

They all stopped what they were doing when they saw Klaus stepping into the house covered in mud. Kol shook his head and went back to his room not wanting to deal with petty fools. Elijah stood up abruptly to stand in front of Elena. Elena couldn't speak, she couldn't bear letting Klaus have the satisfaction of seeing her cry.

"Elena." Klaus said looking sorry walking over towards her

"Don't." Elena said strongly.

"I-" Before Klaus could another word out of his mouth Elena slapped him as hard as she could leaving him stunned. Elijah saw the shift in him before Elena did. He slammed her against the wall making it her turn to be stunned.

"I wouldn't do that ever again." He whispered darkly into her ear.

"I will stay here to give you blood but I refuse to have any more contact than necessary with a selfish asshole like you." She whispered back with tears in her eyes.

Klaus backed away slowly staring her down reeling in his anger. She didn't let out the sobs until after he had slammed the door to his study. Elijah gripped onto her arms so she didn't collapse on the ground.

"Elena, sit." Elijah quietly urged.

"No. I just need to be alone." She said through her tears as she walked away hoping her feet would lead her to her bedroom.

Elena collapsed on her bed trying to control her sobs. She couldn't stop thinking about Klaus ripping her up. She never thought she could feel that much pain. Not only physical pain but emotional. She had started to like him and trust him. Thinking back on it now she didn't know why. Yes they had spent a few days in a car together and he let his guard down a little to let Elena get a glimpse into his head but that didn't change anything he had done. She was stuck here so she wanted to be friendly with Klaus but she didn't have it in her right now. In her world people killed their friends in a fit of rage, knowing they would come back alive afterwards. She had grown accustomed to people treating everyone like that but it wasn't right. She wouldn't stand for it. If Klaus wanted to make things right he would have to come to her. She didn't want to be the person running back to him and apologizing like she did all the time.

"Nik, your girl is going to die." Lilah laughed as she was making him lunch.

"And why is that?" He said seriously

"It's been days. The food I bring up to her is just piling up, she hasn't touched any of it." She said matter of factly.

"Is there something wrong with our food? Is she too good for it?" Klaus said getting angry. This was the first he was hearing of this.

"She's upset." Lilah said getting serious too. "I hear her crying at night...and during the day even though she tries to keep it quiet so no one hears. Elijah has been worried but he doesn't know what to say so he just paces outside her door."

"Of course, that's Elijah for you." He snorted. "Go get the food from her room and don't give her anymore until she can stop being a brat." Klaus said annoyed. "I'll have a meeting with my brothers. Maybe they can get her to stop whining." He sighed like he was being inconvenienced as he pushed himself up from the table. In truth Klaus was a little worried but he knew Elena wouldn't let this go as far as her dying from malnutrition.

"Ah just the two people I wanted to see." Klaus said walking into the study with his sketch pad. He sat down and casually started to draw.

"Yes?" Kol looked up annoyed that his brother didn't continue telling them why he wanted to see them

"Elena." He looked up laughing to himself. "The silly girl thinks she's going to get attention from starving herself. Someone is going to do something. Now should it be me or would one of you like to do it?" He threatened.

"She's scared and clearly upset Klaus. She isn't going to get any better if you go in there threatening her." Elijah said trying to reason with him.

"Oh I'll give her something to be scared about." Klaus said to himself mostly going back to drawing harsh lines on his sketch pad.

"You've already done enough, don't you think?" Elijah said getting tense. He deeply cared for Elena and he was very concerned for her he just didn't know what to do. He never had to deal with woman being sad. Even when they were human Rebekah usually went to mother because she always knew the right thing to say.

"God Nik stop being a damn prick and say sorry to her." Kol chimed in annoyed at the conversation he was just getting to the good part in his book.

"I tried to that night but she decided it was more effective to slap me. A very bad choice on her part." Klaus growled. Elijah rolled his at how his brother was so obsessed with pride. That is why things always escalated and no one wanted to be around him. "I don't apologize, so I could easily compel her. Then this mess would be cleaned up and we could go back to one big happy family." Klaus smiled thinking he was a genius.

"Actually I have a better idea brother." Kol smiled mischievously walking out of the room.

"What are you up to now Kol?" Klaus grumbled trailing after him. Kol appeared with 2 bottles of scotch and some junk food. Elijah watched them both start walking up the stairs and reach Elena door.

"You're not invited." Kol grinned slamming the door in his face. He chuckled lowly when he heard his brother grumbled obscenities on the other side.
