After Emily left Elena's room and Elena made sure her door was locked before looking at Elijah."Now what?"
"Now, we go to the Tomb and release Mr. Salvatore."Elijah stated."Can you Channel Luka and Jonas from a distance?"Elijah asked as he moved about, looking at her stuff, mainly her canvas'.
"Never tried."Elijah raised an eyebrow at her."Grams was powerful but she was..."Elena trailed off."Old. Besides that, it's dangerous if only one Witch or Warlock Channels the other."Elena stated and crossed her arms.
"Hmm."Elijah nodded."Do you have something personal?"Elena nodded and walked over to her nightstand, where a jewellery box was and opened it, picking up an item and turned to him with the item.
It was a triple crescent moon pendant."Will this do?"Elena asked as she walked over to Elijah.
"It will."Elijah said as he reached out to take it from her. Elena's and Elijah's eyes widened in surprise when it glowed softly."What was that?"Elijah asked suspiciously.
"I-I don't know."Elena stuttered."Grams gave it to me for my thirteenth birthday."Elena stated softly, looking down at the necklace.
"I'll have Jonas look into it."Elijah said and Elena looked up at him, nodding."Wait here."With that said, Elijah was gone.
Walking over to the bookshelf, Elena grabbed the only Bennett Witch Grimoire Bonnie would let her have. The Grimoire that contained the Tomb Sealing Counter Spell. Opening it, Elena flipped to the page that contained the Spell.
"-Start with Isobel."Elena, who had been given Jonas' bracelet and Luka's necklace, heard Katherine say as she and Elijah were walking down the stairs quietly and she paused to listen at the mention of her Birth Mother."Elena's Mother."
Elijah, who was guiding her in the dark by having their arms linked, also paused as well before he continued guide Elena down the stairs and hid them in the darkest part of the entrance that was directly across from the Tomb.
"And Emily's Mother."Stefan added, glaring at Katherine.
"She was a research expert."Katherine continued on as if she hadn't heard a word of what Stefan just said."She found me."Stefan nodded in thanks."You're welcome."Katherine said softly. Elijah decided that he had heard enough. Letting go of Elena, he made a thundering sound against the wall, drawing the two trapped Vampires attention to the entrance.
Stefan grabbed the lantern and followed Katherine to the entrance and Katherine froze with a gasp of fear while Stefan's eyes widened."Elijah."Katherine said, backing up slightly as she looked at the Original before her eyes fell on Elena and her eyes widened in fear for her Descendant.
"Good evening, Katerina."Elijah greeted Katherine, using her biological name."Thank you for having the good sense to be frightened."Elijah stated before looking at Stefan."Your release has been requested."
"What? By who?"Stefan exclaimed in shock and confusion before looking at Elena, who had silently started to set everything up."Elena, what are you doing here, with him!?"Elena ignored him.
"Miss. Emily drives a hard bargain."Katherine's eyes darkened in rage when she saw Elijah glance down at Elena."However, we've reached a peaceful agreement, she and I."
"She didn't."Katherine suddenly snarled, startling Stefan and he glanced at her but she saw glaring at Elijah before she looked at Elena."Elena, don't do this. You're powerful but not that powerful. Please, my Zornitsa, don't do this."Katherine pleaded with Elena.
"Everything will be alright, Katherine."Elena said coolly, trying to calm her Ancestor down.
"Alright!?"Katherine exclaimed."You'll die!"Katherine said fearfully, surprising Stefan with how forward she was being with her own emotions. It was as if she truly cared about Elena.
"Elena, Katherine's right, you'll die. Don't do this."Stefan said, agreeing with Katherine.
"No, I won't."Elena stated firmly, believing her own words, as she finished setting up and stood up."Hand."Elijah held out his hand and Elena took said hand in hers gently."Plasmatos salves nas ex malon, terra mora vantis quo incandis, et vasa quo signos."Elena chanted as she closed her eyes, focusing on drawing power from the elements around her, along with Channelling power from Elijah, Jonas, and Luka.
"Of course."Katherine mumbled in realisation as she watched Elena.
"What, what is she doing?"Stefan asked, confused as he glanced from Katherine to Elena and then to Elijah.
"She's Channelling, drawing power from not only the elements to strengthen her Magic but from other Supernatural beings like Elijah."Katherine explained softly as the flames from the candles grew brighter and the wind picked up around them.
"Plasmatos salves nas ex malon, terra mora vantis quo incandis, et vasa quo signos!"Elena exclaimed as her eyes snapped opened for split second before they rolled into the back of her head and her knees gave out from under her.
Elijah caught her and held her to him while Stefan and Katherine looked horrified."Please. Come."Elijah said, turning his attention back to them, as he moved out of the way and made a gesture for Stefan to walk out as he set Elena down against the wall.
"I can't."Stefan stated, thinking Elena still wasn't strong enough to have lifted the Spell.
"Yes, you can."Elijah retorted."I may not have Magic but I have been around Witches for a long time to tell when a Spell has been completed or has lifted."Elijah stated, keeping his eyes on Katherine. Stefan stepped out of the Tomb hesitantly and was surprised to find that Elena had actually lifted the Spell. At seeing Stefan being able to get out of the Tomb, Katherine darted forward, intending on getting out and getting Elena away from Elijah."As for you,"Elijah said, having darted in front of Katherine and stopped her from leaving the Tomb."however, you shall not exit until I say so."Elijah compelled Katherine."When Klaus comes, he'll want to know exactly where you are."Katherine gasped after Elijah turned away from her, releasing her from his piercing gaze."You're free to go."He said to Stefan, who went to pick up Elena."Leave her!"Elijah suddenly snapped and glared at Stefan before he darted over to Elena and picked her up, glaring at Stefan, who looked back at him in confusion and worry."Emily will explain the arrangement to you."Elijah said cryptically as he walked around the younger Salvatore."If she keeps her word, I'll keep mine."
"Where are you taking her?"Stefan asked suspiciously as Elijah turned away with Elena tucked in his arms protectively.
"She is none of your concern. Only Miss. Emily is yours to worry about."Elijah stated and sighed when Stefan appeared in front of him."If you're worried about me taking her to Klaus, you don't need to worry. Being a Witch makes her useless for Klaus to use her in the Ritual. He only needs a Human Doppelganger. If you don't believe me, ask Katerina and Emily. Even she wouldn't lie about that."Elijah stated coolly before he left, leaving Stefan dumbfounded.
Elena groaned softly as she was released from the foggy state of her sleep and turned on her side, nuzzling her head into the silky sheets and gripping the covers softly, wanting to sleep more. Her mind froze. She didn't have silk sheets. Jolting up into a sitting position, Elena looked around, realising that the room she was in wasn't her own.
"You're awake. Good."Elena looked to her left sharply and found Elijah, sitting in an arm chair by the bed, watching her.
"Where am I? What happened?"Elena asked before remembering the Tomb."Is Stefan out? What about Katherine? What did you do to her?"Elena asked him questioningly.
Elijah looked amused."Well, for starters, you're at my house, in my bed."Elena's eyes widened momentarily.
"Figures, only a classy Vampire would have silk sheets."Elena muttered under her breath.
"You passed out after lifting the Spell which kept Mr. Salvatore and Katerina trapped."Elijah continued speaking as if he hadn't heard Elena say anything but if the look in his eyes was anything to go by, he was still amused and a little bit smug."Katerina is still trapped in the Tomb because I compelled her to stay there."Elijah explained calmly.
"You compelled her? How-Never mind."Elena cut herself off, not wanting to know."Why didn't you take me home?"
"My home was closer."Elijah stated.
"Ok, how long was I out?"Elena asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
"It's the first of April."Elijah answered and Elena's eyes widened.
"What?"Elena choked out."I've been out for a day?"Elijah merely nodded."Great. Just great."Elijah watched as Elena threw the covers off and got out of bed, running a hand through her hair."Luckily, Jenna knows better then to go into my room and everyone else can't even get in my room unless the door is open."Elena muttered, looking annoyed."Can you take me home? I need to shower and change."
"There's no need."Elijah stated, standing up."I took the liberty of bringing you some clothes to wear, form your wardrobe. There's a shower just to your right"Elijah gestured to where his bathroom was."and your clothes are in there."
"Why...?"Elena trailed off questionably.
"I thought we could talk."Elijah stated.
"About?"Elena asked, wanting to know.
"I'll tell you after you take your shower."Elijah answered, looking amused and Elena huffed.
"Fine."Elena grumbled, annoyed and walked off into the bathroom, shutting the door gently behind her.
While Elena had her shower, Elijah pulled out the crescent moon pendant and stared at it. Jonas had told him that the pendant was an old talisman. But unlike the other talismans that contained magic or a magical link to an Ancestor, the pendant was used to find a balance between two souls and create a personal link between the two hosts.
The link depended on the hosts. If they had a strong bond, they could hear each others thoughts, feel their pain as their own, and in some stories, their hearts could most likely beat as one. If the link was weak however, the hosts would suffer, could most likely go into a coma or die. All because of one little link. A bond of sorts.
