Before the Sun Sets

CHAPTER 38 ~ Roaring Twenties

I DO NOT OWN THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

"We should do a color scheme."

Maddie and Christian looked up from the box that they were searching through before looking over to Cordelia. Before she left for school they were all going to put the tree back together and some lights outside. She had a flight to catch that night so Maddie would take her to the airport so that her parents could rest since they were just getting in.

Christian raised an eyebrow at his eldest daughter, "A color scheme?"

She nodded, "A color scheme. Something different."

"You do know it's just a tree right."

"But it's our tree."

"Well what kind of color scheme?" Janette, who had been sitting on the couch looking through another box full of decorations, finally asked looked at her daughter. She was showered and in pajamas. She didn't care that it was still daytime. She was tired and wanted to go to bed but she wanted to spend some time with her family before Cordelia left again. Christian felt the same, especially since they weren't there for Thanksgiving with.

"Well when we went black Friday shopping," Christian and Janette gave each other a look, "we got some new ornaments and stuff."

"Correction," Maddie said allowed, "you got new ornaments."

"We're a team!" Maddie said nothing only smirked at her sister. "Anyways, before I was so rudely interrupted we got some new ornaments and we're going to try something new."

"Right," Janette noted.

"And what color scheme might that be?" Christian wondered.

"We're going to do blue and white this year." Janette and Christian exchanged another look with each other, "Oh don't make those faces. We bought such nice stuff."

"And where is this stuff?"

Cordelia held up her hand signaling for one moment before she left the living room, both parents looked at Maddie. "If she wanted to use new stuff why did she have us bring this old stuff out."

Maddie looked between both of her parents, "Who knows why she does anything." That got them to laugh.

"So funny," Cordelia responded sarcastically coming back in the room. She had about four to five bags in her hands. Maddie hoped she remembered to take the stuff out that they had gotten for their parents. "Now let's decorate."

Overall decorating wasn't bad. The tree stood tall in the living room with blue, silver and white decorations. They had decided to keep the lights off of the tree this year but her dad was going to do something outside for some extra holiday cheer. The wreath that they had bought with the same color scheme was on the door outside. For now, the family of four was relaxing in their living room, eating a pizza that Christian had ordered when they began decorating. Janette was so tired she didn't even argue for them to go into the kitchen.

"Are you going to go?" Cordelia asked, looking across the room at her sister.

Maddie continued to chew her pizza, when she was done she asked, "Go where?"

"To the dance next week, or this week, however you want to look at it."

"No."

"Maddie you don't' go to any school functions."

"I prefer it that way."

"This is your senior year," Cordelia made sure to drag out the word senior, "embrace it! Live it! Love it!"

"I'll think about it," Maddie muttered knowing that she most likely was going to just stay home.

"Did you schedule your college tours yet?" Christian asked then. He had just come back from the kitchen, napkins in his hand and cups for the soda that was on top of the table.

"I looked at them but wanted you to see them before I did it."

Christian nodded, "We'll look at it later on, have you heard anything yet?"

"Not yet."

"It's still kind of early," Cordelia noted. "She'll probably get her acceptance letters next month."

"I hope they're acceptances," Maddie muttered from the couch. She said it so low she hadn't thought they heard her but then her mom rubbed her arm reassuringly.

"You'll be fine," Janette spoke reassuringly.

She just gave her a small smile. Thinking about college she knew that it would take her awhile on deciding where she would go. She knew that first she had to get accepted and then look at the financial packages. It also depended on whether or not she made the schools lacrosse teams and then there was if she even liked the campuses since she hadn't been to all. She was most definitely feeling the stress.

"Aye," she looked over at her sister whose face was lit up like a tree, "the Grinch is on!"

"Favorite Christmas movie."

"Here we go," Christian muttered getting comfortable on the couch.


"How was your Thanksgiving?" Maddie asked Matt when she saw him in Biology. She had missed first period since she decided that sleeping in was better than going to class.

"It was good, what about you?"

"Good."

"Your sister came home?"

Maddie nodded, "Yeah, she caught her flight back Saturday night."

"Did she make it safely?" Maddie nodded, "Well that's good."

The two of them ended their conversation when the lesson began. Thankfully they only had one class session today so there was no lab to worry about. However, when a thick packet was given out she was sure that meant she would have homework to do. She already had calculus and literature work to do. She had been pretending to pay attention to the actual lesson itself when her phone went off. Seeing it was a message from Hanna she quickly opened it.

Hanna – Hey did you pick a day to look at North Carolina yet?

Maddie – Nope. I was going to look into it this week.

Hanna – My parents might take me up there next week or the week after, not sure yet. It will probably be on a school day though, would you want to tag along?

Maddie – I would love to!

"You have about three seconds before he looks at you again," Matt muttered. She quickly dropped her phone into her lap and looked at the board. She didn't miss the way her teacher's eyes roamed around the room before he continued talking.

"Thanks," she muttered.

"Anytime."

It was more so towards the end of the period when the lecture was over. They were to use their textbooks and do two pages in the packet. She knew she should have been doing it now but she simply had no motivation to do so.

"Are you going to the dance this Friday?"

Maddie looked at Matt as if he had five heads, "No. Why?"

Matt shrugged, "I think you should come. It will be fun."

"You do realize this is me, Maddie, that you're talking to right?"

He laughed, "Alright good point but seriously. I've been helping out with the committee and I think it's actually going to be a good night."

"Until someone gets killed," she muttered.

"It's December, after this we have what six months or less left with each other? Make the memories count."

She stared at him before asking, "Have you been talking to my sister? I sweat you sound just like her."

"You know great minds think alike."

"Right," she let a few seconds pass. Eventually the bell ring. She packed up her stuff as he did. Together they walked out of the classroom.

"At least tell me that you'll think about?"

"I will," she gave him one last smile before walking off towards the band room.

The whole walk there she contemplated whether or not she should go. On one side she really had no interest, on another she knew some of her friends from the team would be going since their group chat was up and running in full again. She could have some fun with them. She wasn't sure yet if Katie was going but if she could more than likely see herself tagging along. When she got inside of the band room she put her things to the side before getting her flute before going to her seat. She was still first chair. When she felt someone get in the seat next to her she looked and smiled. Hanna.

"Hey," her tone was enthusiastic.

"What's sup."

"Nothing," she spoke with a shrug before laughing, "can't wait to get out of here so that I can go home."

"You're done after this?"

She nodded, "Thankfully. I'm feeling a nap today."

"That sounds great to be honest."

"When are you done?"

Hanna let out a fake laugh, "This is my first class."

"It's fifth period!"

"Yup, this or gym every other day, then English, history, stats and then I can leave."

"That doesn't too terrible."

"It's not on the days that I can actually get up to make it here."

"I skipped history this morning, felt like sleeping."

"I practically skip all gym days. Thankfully Perry is my field hockey coach and cuts me some slack."

"And when she doesn't?"

"I get my mom to write me an excused absence."

Maddie laughed allowed, "My sister used to do that all the time. Only she'd write the note but I think my mom knew the whole time and just let it go."

"Your mom is the real MVP."

"That she is."


Knock. Knock. Knock.

She smiled hearing footsteps. When the door opened up her smile grew wider, "Hi."

"What a pleasant surprise."

"Can I come in?"

"Of course," Elijah stepped to the side allowing Maddie to enter his house. The minute he closed his door he pulled Maddie to him giving her a kiss on the lips. She smiled into it, moving her hands to wrap them around his neck. Pulling away slightly he gave her a swift peck before looking down at her, "Not that I mind, because I don't, but what are you doing here?"

"Well I finished school and went home and I planned on taking a nap and doing some work but then I thought I could do that with you. If you don't mind."

"I don't."

She smirked at him and he moved grabbing her hand and guiding her into his kitchen, "Did you eat yet?" She shook her head no. "Well what would you like?"

"You're going to make me lunch?"

"I've made you breakfast before," he reminded her.

"Right," she remembered and a smile graced her lips thinking of their morning together, "well surprise me."

"I can do that."

Looking around she couldn't help the smile that graced her lips. Not only was she able to spend some quality time with Elijah but he was making her lunch. She watched him walk around picking out various things before he opened up what appeared to be meat. She inched forward slightly in her seat, her butt rising off of the chair. Chicken. Boneless chicken. Interesting, she thought to herself before sitting back down. Bending to the ground slightly she picked up her backpack looking through it before she pulled out what she needed. She decided to begin with math first since that was going to give her the most problems. She had always been able to sail in math but calculus was about to start kicking her ass. It was only getting harder and harder each class day. They were currently moving into integration of parts which most definitely wasn't Maddie's favorite.

"What's that you're working on?" Elijah questioned.

Maddie looked up, "Integration of parts."

"And how's it going?"

"I hate math," she pouted. "Honestly who need this anyways."

"You will," Elijah said with his back still turned to her, "it's good you're taking it now. That way if you have to take it again in college you'll know some of it."

"I guess so."

"Speaking of college have you heard from any schools yet?"

"Nope," she popped the P. "Maybe I didn't get into any of them."

He turned around to face her, "I'm sure that's not the case."

"I should know by the end of January for some of them," she confided.

"And which one have you been looking at the most?"

"None of them really," she confided before going on to say, "but I haven't visited all of them. I actually might be going to North Carolina soon."

"Your parents are going to take you?"

"Actually, my friend Hanna is going and wanted to know if I wanted to tag along, especially since we're both looking at their lacrosse teams as options."

"I would love to show you around New Orleans," he confided. "You did apply there did you not?"

"I did."

"Well considering my history with New Orleans I would love to be the one to take you and show you around."

"Did you live there?"

Elijah nodded, "Yes, I did."

"What's like?"

"One of the most magical places you'll ever visit. Always something to do. The people, the music, the culture, the food, just everything, you would love it."

"Well I would love it if you were the one to take me."

"It's a date."

"Can't wait. Now might I ask what you're making me?"

"A chicken parmesan sandwich."

"Sounds mouthwatering," her voice dropped slightly. Elijah immediately locked eyes with her, his own eyes shining.

"Don't start," he told her.

"I don't know what you're talking about," she grinned before looking down at her math questions. She kept her face down but that didn't stop her from smiling. When she finally did look up Elijah was still staring at her, his own smirk resting on his face. Damn, she thought to herself, he looked good in his dress shirt.

"So, when will my sandwich be ready."

"Patience."

"I'm an eighteen year old girl and I'm hungry, patience isn't really an option."

"I guess I'll put a rush on it."

"Please and thank you."

It was later that the pair were lounging around. They were resided in Elijah's room, laying in his bed and watching TV. Maddie had done a good part of her homework and now she was just enjoying being in his arms. It was nice. She was perfectly content in her silence when she could hear her cell phone beginning to buzz against Elijah's in table. She moved her neck slightly and reached her hand out, tilting her body to grab it before looking to see who wanted her.

Sharon – Hi Maddie, I know it's a short notice but I was wondering if you could babysit tonight?

Maddie looked at the time. It was barley hitting two. Her mom wouldn't even be out of her class for another hour or so, not like that really mattered anyways.

Maddie – Sure, what time do you need me there?

Sharon – Between four thirty and five would be great.

Maddie – Okay I'll see you then.

Sharon – You are a life savor!

She moved, settling her phone back on the in table before getting comfortable again. "Plans tonight?"

She looked up to Elijah, "Yeah I babysit for Mrs. Gleason, or as she likes me to call her Sharon a lot. Her husband and my dad work together."

"You did a lot of that this summer did you not?"

"A lot of what?"

"Babysitting?"

She nodded, "Yeah. It's a nice way for me to make some cash."

"When did you start?"

"Around twelve to thirteen. Cordelia wasn't in to it but I like it. A lot of my parents friends have me watch their kids which is great."

"Is that why you want to go into pediatrics?"

"Yes, I love being around babies and kids. Especially babies, they are so cute. My mom's friend Jamie has two kids I babysit for this summer. Benjamin is three and so cute and then there's Alexander who is so adorable," she gushed. She hadn't even realized she was going on until she saw the smile resting on Elijah's lips, "What?"

"I like seeing you talk about kids. The way your face lights up, it's nice."

"Did you ever want kids of you own?"

Maddie watched him. It looked as if he had gone to a different place, "I suppose so. I always wanted a family but after I was turned my brothers and sisters became the only family that I would ever have. Always and forever."

She stayed quiet, always and forever, she let out a little chuckle, "I guess that's your family motto huh? Always and forever."

"You could say that."

She opened her mouth to say something else but was interrupted when her phone went off again. She was going to leave it but the sound of it vibrating against the dresser told her it was more than one.

"Someone wants to get in contact with you," Elijah murmured, kissing the side of her head.

"Watch it's nothing," she said irritated grabbing the phone. She held up in her hands so that she could see the screen. She was pretty sure that Elijah could see it to but she didn't care.

Katy Kat – Yo yo yo.

She smirked at her message sending her an emoji smiley face instead of an actual response. Going back she went to see where the majority of the messages were coming from. It was the lacrosse group chat that they had.

Hannah – So who's going to the dance Friday?

Katy Kat – I'm thinking about it.

Kristen – Same.

Rachel – I'm going!

Courtney – Maybe.

Mary – I'm down!

Maddie didn't respond. However, she did consider it her sister's words about the event coming into her head. She could hear Cordelia inside of her head now telling her to go and have fun. Unknowingly she began twirling her phone in her hand thinking about it. She realized what she had been doing it when it fell onto the covers.

Looking up at Elijah she asked, "So, what did they wear in the nineteen twenties?"

Elijah who had already been staring at her met her gaze, "An error of celebration," it looked like he went to another place before snapping out of it, "why do you ask?"

"We're having a dance at the school Friday night and I'm considering going. It's the roaring twenties theme."

"I see." There was a short pause, "You should go."

"Why do you say that?"

"You should enjoy the rest of your year. Especially considering it's your last. You don't get to go back and redo those memories."

She smirked at him, "You sure? I mean with everything that's happened and still happening I think we can find a witch capable of time travel."

He smirked back, "Don't say that around my brother. He might get the idea stuck in his head."

"Wouldn't want that."


"I can't believe you talked me into coming," Maddie said, looking at Katie through the mirror. The two of them were in Maddie's room getting ready for the dance tonight. Both of their parents were downstairs, hanging out in the kitchen. Some of the girls from the team would be coming over to take some pictures before departing.

"Don't pout."

"Cord talked you into this, didn't she?"

"Of course she did, now hold still, I have to try and get this thing on your head."

Maddie looked straight ahead into the mirror in front of her. Katie had already successfully curled her hair and she had pinned it into an updo, now she was trying to get the headband thing, that she didn't know what to call around her head. When she felt a slight nudging at her feet she smiled down, moving slightly to pet Lucy.

"Don't move," scolded Katie.

"Lucy wants to cuddle."

"Lucy gets to cuddle every night."

She laughed, "You have a point with that one." Watching the mirror, she could see Katie fixing the headband that had a feather to the side.

"All done."

Maddie turned her head to the left, and then to the right, "Love it."

"I mean did you really doubt that you would? C'mon I have amazing hair skills; don't you remember prom?" Katie grinned before making sure that Maddie's curling iron was unplugged.

"I do remember it and I'm going to need to book you in for my last prom this year."

Katie grinned down at her, "You know I'll be here. Speaking of proms do you know when it is or where?"

Maddie shook her head. She hadn't really heard anything about it. She was aware that a lot of the fundraisers happening were to help pay some of the costs so that tickets weren't too much. If she was still friends with Caroline she would probably have all of the juicy gossip about the upcoming arrival of prom in June, however she was actually okay being separated from everyone in the scooby doo gang. No matter how much she missed the relationships she used to have, mostly with Damon and Caroline, more so Damon, it was better this way.

"We're trying to get a junior prom approved," Katie confided.

Maddie raised an eyebrow, "Really?" This was the first she had heard of it. She thought it was a great idea though. Prom was always something to look forward to. At least she thought so.

Katie nodded her head, "Yeah, some of the people in my grade that are a part of our class stuff were talking about it. I think it's a good idea. Besides I would love to go prom dress shopping."

"I'm coming!"

"Course you are." Katie threw her a grin, "Your dress is in your closet and I am going to go change in Cordelia's room. See you in a minute." With that she walked out of Maddie's room. Maddie could hear the door open and close across the hall. If anything, she was going to miss Katie next year when she went away to college. She had become such an important person in her life, she wasn't just a friend, she was practically family. Hell, she hadn't even bothered to knock anymore when she came over she just walked in and they were all fine with it. They loved her.

Walking over to her closet Maddie opened the door. Her dress was right there hanging up. Grabbing it she quickly placed it on her bed, giving it a once over. The dress was a nude, with a black lace over it. The cuts through the lace had various shapes that went in synchronization and then at the bottom it was kind of fringy. The dress stopped before her knee caps. She had nude heals that she was going to pair with it. She quickly took it off of the hanger before slipping into it and getting dressed. Katie had knocked on her door when she was putting her heels on.

"C'mon in."

"Slay hotie."

"Oh stop it, love your dress."

Katie did a little twirl, "Thanks." Her dress was fringed and white. Stopping just before her knee caps. Instead of heels she had opted for flats.

Maddie opened her mouth to speak but was cut off when the doorbell rang downstairs. "Is it time already?" She wondered.

Katie nodded, "Yeah it is. Make sure you don't forget your bag, or phone, or wallet."

"Got it," Maddie went and grabbed one of her clutch bags, which already had some stuff in it. She then took her phone off of the charger before she and Katie left her bedroom and headed downstairs to meet their friends.

Her mom was holding the door open as Hanna, Rachel, Mary, Kristen and Courtney came through the door. Their parents were close behind.

"Oh my goodness, all of you girls look great," Janette said. She already had her camera out, the strap around her neck. "Do any of you want some snacks?" A course of no thank yous went around, "Right. Well let's get some pictures in before you guys head off. We can do some in front of the fire place in the living room, Maddie take them," Janette spoke before turning to the parents, "the pizza will be here soon."

"You actually ordered in instead of cooking?" Asked Ken, who was Hanna's dad. Because of lacrosse the parents were all close to one another and her mom invited them all to stay and hangout a while after pictures. Some of her friends from the school were there also.

"Christian talked me out of it."

"Where is Christian?" Wondered Tessa, who was Courtney's mom.

"Got called in for emergency surgery."

"Bless that man."

Janette made a comment but Maddie didn't hear it. Instead she and the girls were piled into the living room by the fire place.

"We should get some by the tree to," noted Katie, "our lacrosse family Christmas card."

"I think that is an excellent idea," spoke Janette and the rest of the parents coming into the room now. They all had their phones and camera's out. A lot of them had their kid's phones in their hands to. "Alright, get together girls."


The girls had driven in two cars. Maddie took her car, Katie and Mary going with her, while Hanna drove her car with Rachel, Kristen and Courtney. By the time they got there the dance was in full swing. People were all around dancing. Katie and Courtney immediately had them all go to the dance floor and together they danced among themselves in a huge circle. Maddie was having such a great time that she didn't even realize she was moving backwards until she bumped into someone.

"I'm so sor-, hey!"

Matt was grinning at her, "Don't sweat it."

She grinned seeing Matt, "Nice outfit."

"You to. I didn't realize that you were coming."

Her face slightly fell, "Why? Should I grab my friends and get out of here before all hell breaks loose."

"I don't think it's going to be one of those nights tonight."

"Let's hope not. So, did you come alone or are you hiding a hot date?"

Matt chuckled, his dimples coming out, "Just me."

With that the music suddenly went from dancing freely to a slow song, "You up for a short dance?"

She smirked taking his hand, "You know," she said as his arms moved around her waist and her hands around his shoulder, "the talk of the town will be how we're dating now."

"Of course. I mean two people can't possibly just enjoy a quick dance without romantic feelings being involved."

"It's so unheard of," she laughed and he too joined in. Looking around she could see Bonnie off dancing with some boy. She could also see Caroline and Klaus. Klaus?! She did a double take. And sure enough it was him, his arms wrapped around Caroline as he spoke to her. A frown instantly went across her features. What was he doing with her?

"What's with the face?" Matt wondered. She considered lying to him but he had already moved his face around to see what she was looking at. "Oh."

"Yes oh."

"Well Tyler is going to hate that."

"He's here?" She hadn't seen or heard about him in a while. Not that she cared. Wasn't like they were ever friends.

"He came to be with Caroline."

"Wasn't he compelled or something like that?"

"Sired."

"Yeah that."

"It's complicated."

"Seems like everything in Mystic Falls is complicated."

Matt laughed, "You can say that again."

"Don't you ever wish you could go back? And just re do most of it."

"Sometimes but we can't change the past."

She stayed quiet for a few moments before asking, "Where are you applying to college?"

"I'm not."

"What do you mean you're not?"

"I mean I don't have the money to go. Besides, when high school ends I will have more time to work and catch up on bills."

So he was behind on a lot, she thought to herself.

"It's crazy how I see you everyday and I still feel like I don't see you enough," she noted before asking, "How are you?"

"I'm fine."

"Are you lying to me?" She wondered but smiled. She hoped that if Matt ever did need something he would come to her but she knew that he wouldn't. His comment about college and bills had already told her he was in a bad spot, which she knew but she didn't know how bad. She wanted to do something for him. Especially with Christmas holiday around the corner she felt bad for him, knowing that he didn't really have anybody family wise. She doubted he would actually come over if she invited him. Nonetheless it didn't mean she wouldn't do something for him. She knew whatever she thought of her mom would be in. So would her sister and maybe even Rebekah.

Rebekah.

She moved her head around, looking, where was Rebekah?

"Something wrong?"

She immediately stopped looking around, her gaze going to Matt, "Have you seen Rebekah?"

"No and that's a good thing."

She frowned, "Stop it. She isn't bad."

"Coming from the girl who used to be best friends with Damon."

"Ouch," she faked a hurt face, "well I have certainly learned my lesson from him."

Matt leaned down slightly, "You know if I was ever as good as Alaric I would totally stake him for you."

"I'm not so sure my brother would appreciate that." Both Maddie and Matt made eye contact, a slight shiver going through Matt while Maddie kept her composure. She moved her head to the right. Klaus.

"What are you doing here?"

"My sister talked me into coming tonight."

"Where is she?"

She shrugged, "I don't know I haven't seen her since I've been here." She noticed a slight look on his face. It was annoyance mostly but she saw a small flicker of wonder. "I'm sure she's around here somewhere unless she's here just in here."

"Most likely." Klaus looked away from Matt to Maddie, "Mind if I cut in?"

Matt looked at Maddie for approval and she nodded, "I'll see you in a little while." He nodded, letting her go and walking away.

"Does my brother know that he has a crush on you?" Klaus asked, wrapping his arms around her waist.

Irritation was displayed all over her face, "Stop it. We are just friends."

"That's what they all say. I'm pretty sure Damon had a thing for you, although I doubt he would ever admit it. I could always just cut it out of him."

"Why were you dancing with Caroline?" She wondered changing the subject.

"Are you jealous?"

She frowned, "I have the urge to slap you upside the head right now."

"I like you Maddison but not that much. However if you would like to try it go on ahead. I can't make you any promises though. Might lose my temper," he said the last part in a warning.

"I prefer my head to stay on my shoulders tonight but maybe tomorrow I'll swing by and do it. Seriously though, aren't you supposedly into my sister now? Or are you just trying to work your way into her pants?"

"I didn't know you were so interested in my relationships."

"I can care less about your relationships as long as it doesn't involve my sister. If you like her fine but don't string her along and then run to Caroline when she isn't here."

"Your sister and I enjoy one another's company."

"Meaning?"

"Meaning she is quiet a nice source of entertainment and before you get offended not that kind of entertainment." He gave her a small smile, "I enjoy your sister Maddison. She is like a breath of fresh air."

"Mhm."

"Besides I would never do to her what Nathan did."

He had her full attention now, "What does that mean?"

"Well I would never proclaim my love to her and then mess with another girl."

She frowned, "I thought he broke up with her." FUCK! The inside of her mind was literally screaming. She did not mean to say that aloud and especially not in front of him.

"I thought you were close to your sister and you don't know the full story? Maybe I've taken your place."

"Oh please, don't think I forgot the part where you have some of your stupid hybrids watching her."

"I did tell you that, didn't I? Nonetheless your sister and I happen to be friends at the moment and if it progresses into something more then," he trailed off a smirk on his face.

"The fine. But I will be watching you and Caroline," she warned. She held his gaze. She wanted him to know that she was serious.

"I don't doubt it love." As the song came to an end he moved his hands. "Tell my brother hello for me will you," he spoke before giving her one last smile and leaving.

"Who was the guy?" Katie came over to her and asked curiously.

"Rebekah's brother."

"Oh, get it Mad," Katie gave her a huge grin. Wrong brother, Maddie thought to herself.

"He's not my type."

"What is your type?"

"What are you trying to do set me up on a date?"

"Cord and I agree it's healthy."

She held back from rolling her eyes. Her damn sister. Always trying to encourage something. "Mhm, well I will think about it when you do."

"I will definitely be focusing on a boy, when I get through pre-calc."

"You got it."

"Barley."

Before Maddie could respond to her she saw Jeremy running in through the doors. First he ran to Matt and whispered something to in his ear before running off to Bonnie. Looking around he made eye contact with Maddie coming over to her. "Can I borrow you?"

"Why?" He gave her a look to which she shrugged her shoulders. "What do you want?"

"Can you just come with me."

"Again, why?"

Katie who was standing there felt slightly out of place. "I'll be back."

As soon as she was gone Maddie turned on her full glaring gaze, "What do you want?"

"Esther was here."

"Of course, nothing can ever just go smoothly, can it?"

"Klaus is waiting for us."

"Why?" Instead of answering her he turned around walking off. She stood in place but ended up letting out a small groan of frustration before following. She could hear footsteps behind her and slightly turning her head she met Bonnie's gaze. Quickly she turned back to Jeremy following him through the halls and eventually into an empty lounge room. Entering she could see Klaus in the room with Damon and Stefan. She made sure to avoid eye gazes with Damon quickly looking to Klaus, "What do you want?"

"Nice to see you again. Where is your cousin?"

She opened her mouth however Bonnie quickly entered with her date, "What's going on?"

"Esther has Elena," Damon noted.

"And how did that happen?"

"That's not important, what's important is that we can't get out of here."

"Meaning?"

"There's a boundary spell and we need you to fix it."

Bonnie looked around before her she said, "I need candles."

"Where would those be?" Jeremy asked allowed. No one said anything as they all tried to think. Maddie stood against a lounge chair before plopping down. She still didn't know why she was here.

Klaus looked to her, "And would you happen to know where candles would be?"

She shrugged, "Try the pottery room."

"You couldn't have said that seconds ago?!" Snapped Stefan.

She glared at him, "Why are you talking to me? I hate you and I'm pretty sure you know it!"

"Every second wasted is Elena's life."

"Another person I hate. Maybe if her she was out of our lives bad things would stop happening."

it happened so fast. Within an instant Stefan had vampire sped over to her, ready to attack, but he was quickly tossed across the room. Maddie got ready to thank Klaus who was in front of her but instead it was Damon who was in front of him and had tossed Stefan. She didn't doubt Klaus' abilities to save her but it was weird. Damon had gotten there first. Why did he do that? She asked herself. For brownie points, another part of her thought.

"We don't have time for this," he spoke. He gave Maddie one small look before walking off.

Bonnie had her mouth open, ready to yell although nothing had really happened. Bonnie's date just stood there, stunned.

"I wouldn't try that again," Klaus growled out.

"Why did you want me in here?" She wondered, looking away from the Salvatore's to Klaus.

"I need to keep an eye on you."

"For what reason?"

"My mother is back and my brother would not be happy with me if I didn't keep you safe."

Aw. She kept the comment to herself. That was cute. Klaus, protecting her for Elijah. "Right."

Jeremy was back then with candles. Maddie had practically forgot about them. Bonnie was standing off by a table but had said nothing. As Jeremy put down the candles she gave him a small thank you. He stepped back and everyone in the room watched as she chanted. The candles instantly lit up and she opened up her hands, holding them in the air.

Maddie didn't miss the amazed look Jeremy was giving her. Obviously, he still had some type of feelings for Bonnie. Stefan, Klaus and Damon just stared. And her date, whose name she still didn't know watched on.

"She does this all the time right?" Her date asked to no one in particular.

"What's taking so long? All boundary spells have a loophole. " Klaus called out which cause Bonnie to stop chanting. Maddie could tell he was irritated. She could understand why. He was trapped in school while his mother was out there doing god knows what. And Rebekah's whereabouts where still uncertain.

"People are walking right out of the dance. Past the barrier." Matt announced coming in giving Klaus and the Salvatore brothers a look.

"Well that was fast," Maddie muttered. The thing had just started really but it was better that people left before something happened and they ended up getting killed.

"Well if Matt and I can leave we could stop Esther ourselves. We just got to find out where she is."

"That is the dumbest idea I've ever heard," Maddie announced.

"For once I actually agree with her." Stefan cocked his head towards Maddie, "It's suicide Jeremy."

"You want to go and try and be all brave and heroic fine, no need to take Matt with you." Matt gave her a look. "What? Some of us actually care whether you live or die."

Klaus, who had been listening on sped towards Bonnie's date, grabbing him by the throat and holding him in the air. "Suicide would be disappointing me." Maddie stood. "Now work your magic witch. Or I'll start killing people you fancy."

Bonnie yelled out, "Let him go!"

"Not until you get us out of here."

Bonnie looked towards Maddie, "DO SOMETHING!"

Maddie made eye contact with her cousin, "Do what? It seems you're all forgetting I can't do anything, I'm human. And so is Matt, which is why we should be leaving."

"Ah don't be stupid Klaus Bonnie doesn't give a damn about us," Stefan stated as he walked closer to Klaus. "The only reason she's helping right now is to save Caroline and Tyler. You start killing the people she cares about she'll tell us all to go to hell."

Klaus looked between Bonnie and Stefan before dropping the boy. Maddie had to find out his name.

"I have to do a locator spell," Bonnie announced. She began walking out towards the room. To everyone's shock, she grabbed Maddie's hand along the way. Maddie turned back, looking at Matt who shrugged at her.

"Who is she?" Bonnie's date wondered curiously.

"Her cousin."

"She never mentioned a cousin."

"They aren't exactly close." Jeremy noted. "Not anymore anyways."


"Any reason you dragged me up here?" Maddie wondered. They were in Ric's classroom now.

"What are you doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"With Klaus?"

"I'd much rather be leaving here if that's what you're asking."

"How can you stand to be around someone like him?"

"How can you stand to be around Elena?" She countered. "Or Damon, or Stefan, any of them!" Bonnie said nothing to which Maddie responded, "Don't get quiet now!"

"I found my mother," she said after a while. Maddie didn't comment anything. "And it would have been really nice if I would have had a family member to talk to about it."

"So what I'm supposed to feel guilty now because we don't talk. You could have called me. It's not like I wouldn't answer the door or hang up on you."

"No that's reserved for Caroline, right?"

Maddie decided to ignore her comment, "You could have called my dad, or my mom or Cordelia if you really wanted to talk."

"They barely speak to me."

"You don't speak to them!" Maddie yelled, instantly becoming irritated with Bonnie. It was a two way streak.

The two glared at one another before Bonnie went over to a part of the room and grabbed a map. She laid it down on Ric's desk and turned on the small light.

"Here." Both girls looked to see Damon and Klaus walk in. "Jeremy made a little Gilbert blood donation for your locator spell." He held up the vile of blood to Bonnie.

"I have to do this with you two lurking over me?"

"Your still mad at me for what happened to Aby. Let me apologize. I'm sorry Elijah forced us to turn your mother into a vampire to save Elena's life. Didn't exactly have a choice."

"There's always a choice. Whenever you make one someone else suffers."

"Re-tweet," Maddie muttered knowing that Klaus and Damon would hear her.

Klaus spoke up, "Let's cut the dramatics and begin shall we." He moved from his position of leaning against the wall.

Bonnie began to pour the blood on the map before chanting. Together the four watched as the blood spread out along the map before it stopped.

Bonnie frowned, "Esther's fighting me."

Klaus said, "Esther couldn't possibly have this much power. Unless she's channeling something."

Bonnie who had been looking at Klaus said, "A hot spot."

Damon now looked towards Bonnie but said nothing. Klaus however looked like he knew exactly where Esther was, "Get the humans ready, I know where she is." He then looked at Maddie, "You should go now."

"If you think I'm going to let Matt die for Elena you have another thing coming," she stated before leaving the three in the classroom alone. As she ran down the hall she found Matt. "You can't be seriously thinking of going out there."

"I am and I will."

"Why?"

"Elena is in danger."

"Elena is always in danger!" She yelled, not caring who heard her. "Matt you could die out there and for what? So that Elena gets to continue on with this horrible love saga, dragging along two brothers. Putting her friends in danger."

"I don't know what you want me to tell you Maddie."

"I want you to say that you won't go."

Instead of saying anything he walked up to her and leaned down kissing her forehead before whispering, "I would do it for you. I have to go now and you should get out of here before anything happens. I don't want anything to happen to you." She turned slightly watching him run off.


Elijah looked down at Maddie, moving a piece of hair out of her face, "You are so beautiful."

After meeting back up with her friends they had all left the dance. Most people had cleared out when she met up with them anyways. Instead of going home they decided to go out of town to the nearest Applebee's and get half-apps. It was a pretty good distraction but Maddie was still waiting to hear from Matt. She wanted to make sure that he was okay. When they were done Maddie took Katie and Mary home before she headed to Elijah's house. She had told her mom she was going to be staying over at a friend's house.

She felt her cheeks getting hot, "You're just saying that."

"I'm not, tell me you'll stay tonight," he spoke cupping her cheek before leaning down and planting a small kiss on her lips.

"I don't know," she said trying to hide her smile, "I think sleeping in my own bed might be better tonight." Elijah let out a small growl, "I'm just kidding. Of course I'll stay."

"Glad to hear it, now tell me how was the dance?"

"Ugh." She sighed before plopping down on the couch.

"What?"

"Well for starters Damon and Stefan were there."

"Did they say anything to you?" She bit her lip. She didn't want to lie but she certainly didn't want to drag things out either. "Maddison."

She met his eye, "I hate when you call me that but this time it was kind of hot." She felt a flutter of heat begin between her thighs. This certainly wasn't what she had in mind for tonight either.

"We'll get to that later," his voice was so low when he said it. Her mouth opened like a fish before closing. So she was definitely getting some kind of action tonight was what he seemed to be hinting at. "Now tell me what happened."

"So demanding." She liked it.

Instead of responding he just stared at her, "Okay so," she turned slightly, adjusting and getting on her knees instead of sitting now, "like I said Stefan and Damon showed up, of course for Elena. I don't know what happened but your mother took her or had someone do it for her."

"Is she alright?"

She felt like glaring at him, "Don't know, don't care." He said nothing. "And your brother was there.'

"Which one?"

"Klaus. I haven't seen Kol since Thanksgiving. And he was dancing with Caroline," she spoke irritated. "If he has feelings for her he shouldn't be bothering my sister. She has enough on her plate."

"Why do I have a feeling you told him that?"

"I let him know that I would be watching." Elijah's chest moved slightly from his chuckle. "Anyways, so then he left but later Jeremy came running in and demanded I go with him. Apparently Klaus wanted to keep an eye on me and came sure no harm came to me. What?" She didn't miss the look on Elijah's face.

"I'm glad my brother is there to watch out for you when I'm not." She studied him. He really did sound sincere to her but then again, he had years of practice.

"Well he did when Stefan tried to attack me."

Elijah's body went stone cold, "He tried to attack you?" The deadly tone in his voice didn't go missed.

"I was mouthing off."

"I don't care what you were doing. I'll be paying Mr. Salvatore a visit."

She put her hand on his arm, "As hot as that would be can we save it for later? I know that the link is broken between you all but I'd prefer to know there's no way to get rid of an original before you start trying to kill anyone a part of that group."

"My brother shielded you?"

"Damon did actually." She didn't miss his look. "Oh Klaus was in front of me as soon as Stefan moved but Damon threw him across the room."

"He wants back in your good graces."

"Not going to happen."

"Are you sure about that?"

She frowned, "What do you mean?"

"I know he meant a lot to you but I want you to remember all that's happened before you consider allowing him back into your life."

"I'm not."

"Maddie."

"I'm not, I swear. I didn't even speak to him." Just made comments under my breath, she thought to herself.

"Did you at least have a good time?"

She shrugged, "It was good at first but everyone left early. I did go get some food with my friends afterwards though which was nice."

Elijah studied her for a moment before reaching over and picking up a remote. After clicking some buttons music started to play. She recognized the beat from the dance. It was a different song but similar in a way. Most have been from the same time period. Her eyes got wide when he stood and held out his hands, "What are you doing?"

"Asking my girlfriend to dance." Her cheeks got hot. "Will you dance with me?"

"Yes."

Allowing him to take her hand she got to her feet before walking to the center of the room with him. Elijah stopped, putting his hands at her waist, and then put her hands around his shoulders. Together the two swayed to the music.


"I'm going to need to bring clothes over here," Maddie commented. "If I am going to be spending the night and stuff frequently, might as well be prepared."

Elijah looked at her thoughtfully, "Or you could wear nothing while you're here."

"I think I've corrupted you with me frequent sexual advances."

"Maybe you have but you don't have to worry about clothes."

"And why not?"

"Well since you've been over a lot and I have nothing but time on my hands I went out and brought you some stuff."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah."

"You are so thoughtful." She grinned before running her hands through her hair. She had taken all of the bobby pins out and now her hair was a curled up mess. By the way it sat on her shoulders she could tell that it was one of those crazy hair days. Thankfully she had a hair tie around her wrist. She went to wrap it up but Elijah stopped her. Taking the tie and putting it down by the bobby pins.

"Don't. I like it like this."

"It's a mess."

"It's perfect."

"You know just what to say to make a girl smile," she said leaning in and giving him a kiss. Looking at the clock on her phone she could see it was after midnight. "So, what should we do?"

"Are you tired?"

She shook her head, "No."

"And you aren't hungry?"

She bit her bottom lip slightly, "Not for food."

The atmosphere immediately shifted. She stared at him and he stared back. "I think that-," she stopped when she heard his phone ringing. "It's fine, answer it." If they were calling at this time of night it must have been important.

He pulled his phone out of his pocket. She could see the name Niklaus on the screen. Giving him one last look she said, "I'll be upstairs."

"I'll be there soon."

"Can't wait," she tried to give him flirty eyes before she walked off. She could feel his gaze on her.

When she got upstairs she took off her shoes. They were officially killing her feet. Looking around she began opening up dressers. Sure enough there were clothes filled in some of them with things for her. She smirked seeing all of the underwear. Sexy underwear. With the way things were heating up between them she had a feeling she'd be having her panties off more than on. And she was fine with it. She wanted it. She wanted him. She could tell that he wanted her to but he was holding back. Hopefully that would stop soon.

After five minute of no Elijah she decided to change. She grabbed the bottom of her dress and began to push it up when she felt another presence. Turning around she could see Elijah standing there, watching her. Hunger in his eyes.

Deciding to play she continued to push up the dress until she took it off. Standing before him in a bra and thong. "Like it?"

"Very much." His eyes traveled down, staring at the most intimate part of her that was covered. She moved her feet slightly so her legs were wider apart.

Reaching behind her she undid the clasp of her bra, letting it fall off. It was strapless so it was easier. She felt confident in the way he was looking at her. Like he worshipped the ground she walked on.

"I can smell you."

"Good then you know how much I want you." Walking towards him she stood tall.

"I need to know that you're okay with whatever might happen tonight." She nodded. "Say it."

"Whatever happens tonight I'm okay with."

He leaned down, grabbing her face in his hands before kissing her. He left it at a simple kiss before pulling away. "Go sit on the bed."

"Yes sir," she grinned.

Smack. She laughed. It was becoming obvious that he loved her butt considering he always smacked her ass. She went to bed, sitting on the edge. She watched as he took off his belt and let it fall to the ground before taking off his suite jacket. His dress shirt followed next, leaving him only in pants. He walked over, standing in front of her. Not wanting him to change his mind she went in for the kill, her hand going to the zipper of his pants. Even if they didn't have sex tonight she wanted to do something. Something new. She was ready to explore deeper parts of their intimate relationship. Unfortunately before she could do much else he stopped her.

"Really?"

"This is all about you," he said leaning down and kissing her head before kissing her lips. She kissed him back enthusiastically, happy when he pushed his tongue into her mouth. A moan sounded throughout the room. Leaning over her while kissing her, he picked her up with ease. Maddie continued kissing him while wrapping her arms around his waist. Within seconds he was now the one sitting and she was in his arms. Braking the kiss he moved to her neck sucking gently before taking her left breast into his mouth, sucking on the nipple. She let her head go back. She loved this feeling and would never get enough of it. When he was finished he let it go with a pop before moving to the right.

She was soaking in every minute of this sensation. It would never become old for her. When he pulled away and looked at her she gazed back, half in a daze. "You ready for more?"

"Yes." To add emphasize she slightly raised herself before dropping down and moving. Grinding into his hips. She could feel how much he wanted her.

"Naughty girl."

"Just for you." He smiled, moving his hands to her butt. He cupped her ass cheeks, squeezing them and then rubbing. It felt nice to her.

"Do you know what I'm going to do to you tonight?"

"Tell me," she breathed.

"I'm going to lay you back and then slide this excuse for underwear down your legs. And then my fingers are going to slide inside of your slick, wet pussy," ugh dirty talking Elijah was making her even hotter, "and after my fingers are done I'm going to feast on you."

She stared into his eyes, ultimately feeling a blush come over herself, "Can't wait."

With that Elijah's gaze got even hotter, hungrier. He was quiet, giving her one last kiss on her lips before standing fully. Wow, he's tall, was all she could think. "Scoot back." With her palms lying flat she pushed herself back. She rested her weight on her elbows as she watched him. Down slightly he kissed her stomach, she laughed a bit feeling him kiss where she had in her belly button ring.

"You like?"

"No," he said, looking in the eyes, "I love it." She was going to respond but the moment he began to grab her lace thong and pull a million thoughts began to race through her head. It was finally happening. They were finally going to do it. Well, he hadn't mentioned sex, but he would definitely be going down on her. And she couldn't wait.

Getting to his needs he moved his face in, examining her beautiful sex. She took her bottom lip into her mouth, slightly biting. What was he thinking. Her breath caught when she noticed him moving in. He placed at gentle kiss on her. She could only imagine how the rest would feel if that had felt like heaven. She looked back to him and watched him examine her some more he entered a finger inside of her.

It felt weird at first. Almost uncomfortable in a sense but it was taken over by sensation the minute he began moving it in and out of her. "OH!" A grin came over his face as he sped up his finger. Maddie could feel herself getting wetter, she yelled out an even bigger moan when he added another finger inside of her. "FUCK!"

"So tight," she could hear him say, however she wasn't paying his words any attention. All she could focus on were the fingers inside of her, moving in and out, in and out. She squeezed her eyes tighter as it started to feel even better. And then it stopped.

"What are you doing?" She practically growled, her eyes snapping open. She looked at him curiously. Instead of speaking, he spread her legs wider before his tongue replaced his fingers. At first it was nothing but a lick. As he did so he kept eye contact with her. Watching her face. Loving the way her mouth opened to form an O shape. Elijah lapped at her pussy like a kitten who was starving for milk.

"OH MY GOD!" She yelled out, her back was arching against the sheets. Without realizing it she squeezed her legs together trying to keep him tracked there; but even that didn't feel like he was close enough. Her hands wandered into his hair, holding him to her. She felt herself coming but just kept moaning, loving every moment of this.

When she finally did come for him, he stayed in position, still licking, slowly. She moved her hands slightly from his hair and just laid there. Her chest moved up and down. Her heart felt like it was about to come out of her chest. No words were passed, the couple was just coming down from their high.

"Oh!" She gasped. He had grabbed her by her legs and pulled her to him. Her back was still on the bed, her legs stretched. Her heat was pressing against his crotch. He moved against her slightly. "Oh shit." She felt herself getting wet again.

"You feel that?" She nodded. "You understand what you're doing to me?"

She smirked, "You love it."

"Yes I do," within moment she was now in his arms, with her legs wrapped around his waist. He gave her lips a soft kiss. "Now it's time for you to shower."

"Wait what?"

"A shower, or would you prefer a bath?" He questioned before giving her a quick peck. He couldn't resist kissing her lips.

"How about we save it for later and continue our activities," she spoke, moving her hips against him slightly.

"Behave," he breathed.

"I don't want to behave, I want to be naughty." She whispered it right in his ear before placing her face into his neck and laying kisses up and down. When she stopped and prepared to kiss him again he set her down on her feet. Damn he's tall, she thought to herself as she looked up at him.

"Shower or bath?"

"You're really not going to let me do anything about that?" She wondered, pointing to the bulge he had.

"No. Tonight was about you."

"And now I want to make it about you."

"Another time." She frowned, read to protest. She wanted to keep going. He pulled her to him closely, her breasts against his chest. Leaning down he kissed her forehead. "We have plenty of time. No need to rush things. Now do you prefer a shower or bath?"

She sighed in defeat. Both did sound appealing to her at the moment. "Which one will you join me for?"

"Neither."

"You are no fun."

"Shower it is." He kissed her forehead again before grabbing her hand and leading her to the bathroom. She watched him turn on the water before he gestured for her to go in. She could see soap and a wash cloth already inside. Smirking she made sure to drag her hand over his chest as she passed.

"You can still join me."

"Nice try," he murmured before walking out.

"Ugh," she let out a groan before getting inside.

She took her time in the shower. She loved the feeling of hot water on her body. She had to have been in there for at least twenty minutes. She used the towel to dry off her body before semi drying her hair. She had washed it to get out the hair spray Katie had used, which had been a lot. She would worry about it being blow dried tomorrow morning. For now, she had other things on her mind.

She smirked slightly wrapping the towel around herself. She didn't make it tight though. Turning off the light as she left the bathroom she could see Elijah sitting on his bed. The TV was on but he was not watching it. She felt his eyes on her.

"Good shower?"

She nodded, moving her arms and running a hand through her hair. As she did so the towel fell to her feet. "Very good." She watched him. His eyes raking over her body. There was that hunger again.

She pretended to ignore him going over to one of the dressers. She smiled, looking down at the bras and thongs. She played with them, holding a pair up and pretending to look. When a hand clasped around her own she grinned, turning herself around.

"Any suggestions?" She tried to make her voice seem innocent. "I mean there are so many nice pair."

He moved his eyes, scanning over the undergarments before pulling out a pair. "These." The bra was black and the thong was turquoise.

"Perfect."

Setting them down on the dresser, Elijah picked her up and placed her there. She let out a surprise laugh. Grabbing the thong he slid them onto her, moving her butt off of the dresser when he got there, before setting her back down. He then kissed her nipples, gently biting before placing the bra on her.

"And you call me a tease."

"Do you want one of my shirts or a pair of pajamas?"

"How about we both sleep naked?"

He smirked, not saying anything but he did grab his discarded shirt and slip it onto her. She watched him button it up. While it was huge on her the material felt great. He then picked her up and carried her to bed. She kept eye contact with him as he slid back the covers and put her inside. "You should sleep."

"Not tired."

"You've had a long day."

That was true. And these sheets felt good. "Maybe if you got in next to me I could fall asleep/"

"I have an errand to run."

"It's past midnight!"

He chuckled, "Yes, I'm aware. I won't go anywhere until you fall asleep."

"What are you going to do?" He kept his smirk on, not answering. "Fine. Don't tell me but I expect you here when I wake up."

"Of course."

"And I think you should make me breakfast."

"Any other requests?"

"Yes." He waited, "I think that if I don't wake up on my own my amazing original vampire boyfriend should do the honor himself."

"Any suggestions?"

"Mhm," she sat herself up slightly. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, gazing at her. She sat up just enough where her face was close to him. Her weight resting on her arm. "Well I like kisses."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. You can wake me by taking off this shirt I'm in, not that I don't love it but it can come off, and you can place your amazing kisses all over my body."

"I'll keep that in mind."

"And I want something before I go to sleep."

"What's that?"

"I want a goodnight kiss."

He said nothing, instead bent over and met her half way for a kiss. At first it was sweet. Their lips touched and it felt like fireworks were going off. It quickly escalated though, as Maddie pulled away for a quick breath before kissing him back. She moved one of her hands into his head to pull him closer before she ran her tongue along his bottom lip. He opened up his mouth to her, giving her what she wanted. And boy did she take. They must have spent a good five to seven minutes kissing, Maddie controlling it before Elijah pulled away. He gave her lips one more sweet kiss before kissing her forehead.

"You ruin the fun sometimes," she joked, slightly out of breath. He chuckled, before running a hand through some of her hair. She settled back into bed, curling up and looking at him through her eyelashes. She was a little tired and could nod off but she wasn't too tired. She would probably wake up while he was out. Elijah watched her. He watched her try to resist sleep before her eyes began to flutter a tad. Eventually she did let sleep take her.

"Good night Maddison," he whispered, giving her forehead one last kiss before he got up and left.


Thank you all so much for reviewing, adding this story to your favorites and alerts/follows!

So, I have no plans on killing Ric or Kol. Especially since they bring Ric back later and I think Kol is now alive on the originals? Anyways, I haven't really watched past the hundredth episode. Correction I didn't watch a lot of season 4, and only watched the first and 100th episode from season 5. (I watched for Klaroline hehe). So can anyone tell me how they brought Ric back from the dead? Thank you all so much!

In this chapter ... Katie convinces Maddie to go to the dance. Some of the girls come over for pictures. Esther takes Elena. Maddie goes to Elijah's and things get hot and heavy.
