Chapter One
It had been a week since Klaus left, taking Stefan with him. Elena was constantly thinking of Elijah and had no idea why. Her boyfriend Stefan, she barely thought of. That night as Elena was sleeping in soundly in her bed, she began dreaming of Elijah.
"Elena, I need your help" Elijah said.
"For what?" Elena hissed out, annoyed. "You betrayed me. Why should I help you with anything?"
Elijah looked guilty for a moment from her remark before he cleared his face of emotion. "I need you to resurrect me. You are in danger and I am the only one who can help you" he replied quietly. Hearing this caused a shocked gasp from Elena.
Elena woke up immediately after her dream, getting dressed quickly. She went to the foyer to get her jacket. Throwing on her jacket and grabbing her keys, she rushed out the door. After she got in her car she headed towards the old abandoned warehouse. What am I doing? Elena thought to herself as she drove.
Ten minutes later she found herself pulling into the cemetery parking lot. She parked the car, getting out and started walking towards the warehouse entrance. Elena warily eyed the door, walking up to it and opening it. It gave a loud groan as she pulled the door open wide. She walked into the corridor and rounded a few corners before she came upon a darkened staircase.
Elena let out a disgruntled sigh as she walked down the stairs. She always hated dark spaces. Feeling very surprised at what she saw, Elena continued down until she walked up to the single coffin. The coffin had the name Elijah engraved on the top.
Lifting the lid, Elena's eyes widened comically at the sight. Even in temporary death Elijah was a beautiful man. She quickly pulled the dagger out, going over to sit against the wall. A few moments later she realized she forgot the blood bag and groaned quietly. She began thinking to herself. What have I done? It's beginning to look like I enjoy being a danger magnet.
Twenty minutes had passed while Elena was waiting for the man to wake up from death. She was beginning to wonder if the dagger had permanently killed Elijah when his eyes suddenly opened. Startled, she quickly backed up further down the wall. At Elena's sudden movement, Elijah immediately sat up.
Locking his eyes on to hers, he climbed out of the coffin slowly. "Elena" he gasped out. "Please tell me you brought a blood bag" he begged.
"Well, at least you didn't mistake me for my double again" she replied sarcastically before looking down in guilt. Not meeting his eyes, she answered his question. "I, uh, forgot to bring it this time" she replied, rubbing her neck in embarrassment.
Elijah's nostrils flared and eyes darkened as he sped out of the building. Staring at where he had just been standing with her mouth gaping, she slowly stood up. Elena ran up the steps and out of the building, running to her car. She got in and drove home as she didn't see Elijah anywhere in sight.
