Chapter 4

Over the course of three months Elena and the Original siblings were getting along better. True to form Elena did apologize to Rebekah for daggering her in the back once the memories came back.

She even apologized to Elijah for doing the same thing to him.

"Damon and Stefan were the ones at fault." She answered when Klaus asked her why she did it. "Damon compelled me to dagger Elijah while Stefan compelled me to dagger Rebekah."

The only time where Elena and Rebekah were separated from each other would be when she and Kol would prank Klaus.

It was a strange friendship that grew between Elena and the Mikaelsons.

There were times that she was alone with Elijah and Klaus.

The two oldest original brothers were helping her with being an immortal creature of the night. While Elijah taught her how to fight with Kol's help, Klaus taught her how to feed with Rebekah's help as well as how much to take without killing them.

Today was a rare day as Elijah was by himself. He stood behind Elena and he got her arms in a blocking position before moving to stand in front of her. They were alone and as he touched her body, heat fluttered up in her but she had to squish it down.

He was still hung up on his Katerina. She didn't want to be a replacement of Katerina to him, Stefan and Damon.

All she wanted to be is just Elena.

It was one thing to be in love with someone, it was a totally different thing to be in love with someone when that person happens to be in love with your lookalike.

Love sucks. Badly.

As Elijah got out of his ice cold shower, he was surprised to see Elena sitting on his bed in a pair of grey sleep shorts and a short sleeve sleep shirt that buttons up. She had it unbuttoned and a black spaghetti strap undershirt on underneath it.

He cleared his throat but he was still staring at her in surprise.

"Sorry Elijah! I just wanted to borrow one of your books." She apologized without staring at him, her eyes were focused on his bed where the books were strewn across.

That was a good thing because if she had looked up at him, she wouldn't have been able to decide which book to choose from and would have wanted him.

"Try Dracula or a Dan Brown book." He growled out before he went back into his shower and got it on the coldest setting possible.

She was his temptress. She was the only one who could make him feel more human and she could control him without even knowing she was.

He wanted her but at the same time he wanted her happiness and he didn't think that the two could be in sync with one another.

The person who thought of the old saying that it was better to have loved and lost then it was to never have loved at all never met him.

He had loved and he had lost.

Maybe he should try to never love again.

He wouldn't be able to handle anymore heartache.

As Elena was sitting on her bed, legs crossed, Rebekah walked right in wearing a dress that she made that reminded her of some old anime character from her childhood.

It was a princess cut dress with cap sleeves.

"What are you wearing and why?" Elena asked. "Klaus hates it when we're out late because of his hybrids and the wolves who are roaming around here."

"We're going out tonight! This is my sexy yet cutesy dress I made after I forced Kol to watch Sailor Moon Super S on Hulu." Rebekah didn't really seem to care about what Klaus had to say. "I want to go to The Grille and get plastered! Besides-your little friends have been driving me crazy! They think that I killed you by running you off Wickery Bridge while you were driving."

"Do I want to know why?"

"Kol totaled your car. He killed it."

"He owes me a new one."

"Besides that-Klaus hid all of the good alcohol."

Caroline, Stefan, Bonnie, Damon and Tyler were sitting at the bar with a bottle of scotch and bourbon between them as they thought of Elena.

"She was my best friend." Caroline and Bonnie cried.

"She was a good person." Tyler muttered before taking a drink.

"I loved her so much." Damon said before taking a swig from the bottle itself. Stefan didn't say anything as he was still filled with guilt for introducing her to the supernatural.

"Oh Matty! Drinks for everyone at the bar!" Came Rebekah's voice from the entrance.

"Bekah! Whose card is this going on?" The one voice that haunted Damon's sleep made the others turn around to stare at the two. Both were in princess cut dresses-Rebekah's was blue and Elena's was red.

"Nik's card!" Rebekah giggled.

"What is going on?" Damon finally voiced out.
