Elijah was running, running to where? He did not know. All he knew was that his heart was breaking. He truly felt rejected. Confused. Hurt. How could she say she loved him but not want him? Hayley could potentially be a problem, however nobody really took the time to know her. She wasn't a bitch, a little territorial, perhaps, but she would understand. Plus he couldn't be to sure she didn't have feelings for Jackson either. She was rather peeved when she found out he had slept with Elena. You don't get mad or jealous when you don't have strong feelings for somebody. For Elena to literally choose death over being with him, hurt. He finally saw a lone willow tree next to a small river in the middle of nowhere and decided to sit for awhile. He bent his knees and put his elbows on his knees placing his head in his head, looking down. He sat for what felt like an hour before he heard her yet he still did not move.
She looked at him and her heart broke for him, in her 1000 years on this planet she had never seen him so helpless. It caused a lone tear to make its way down her flawless porcelain face. She sat down beside him lifted his head to her chest and wrapped her arms around him. He took in the scent of his sisters lavender shampoo and felt comforted. He was supposed to be the comforter, not the comforted.
"Its okay Elijah. I won't tell anyone." She smiled. That made him smile back.
"I do love her, I felt she deserved more than this life. She deserved a human life with children."
"What am I going to do with you two?"
"What do you mean, sister?"
"She has her reasons, and I promise you they are not what you think they are." She grabbed his handkerchief from his chest pocket and handed it to him. "You know I have no love for the Dopplergangers, but I must say she is by far the best one. I am glad she didn't truly die that night." He pushed himself off of her, "How do you know how she died, sister?" He questioned.
She went wide eyed, "She really didn't tell you?" Elijah shook his head no, "Tell me YOU didn't have anything to do with this?" He pleaded with her.
"Im sorry brother, I was afraid Alaric was going to kill Nic and I panicked." She said afraid of what he would do. He stood up and paced back and forth, "NO,NO,NO it wasn't supposed to be like this. She wasn't supposed to die REBEKAH! I gave her my word I would protect her from this family and you made me go back on my word. I am no man of honor!" He said shamefully.
"Elijah I am truly sorry about that night, she didn't deserve that and I have to say I respect her a whole lot more that she didn't come straight to you to rat me out."
"Its because she is so damn compassionate, she cares about everybody, including Klaus, its what drew me to her in the first place."
"I swear to you, I will sincerely apologize for my part in her death the moment we back, but please brother you need to talk to her."
She approached him to give him hug, "Please forgive me. Please don't hate me."
He embraced her, "I could never hate you little sister."

Elena was sitting in the living room floor playing with Hope. She was glad the chubby baby couldn't crawl because she could barely move. Hope was giggling at her for playing peek a boo. It made Elena's heart sting a little to know she would never be a mother, she was sure every Vampire felt that way at some point about the loss of parenthood.
She decided to call Jeremy, it had been too long since she talked to him last.
"Hello?" She heard him say bringing a smile to her face.
"Hey! Jeremy I miss you so much!" she said trying not to cry.
"I miss you to Elena! Im doing good! I have been staying at the lake house and Bonnie did a spell to make it so Vampires can't get in that had already had an invitation. I want to keep it Vampire free. Im sorry Elena, that means you too." He said trying not to offend her.
"Please, Jeremy Im not! I am glad you are doing that, do not trust anybody with a invitation. Stay away from Stefan and especially Damon!"
"Yeah about that, Damon hasn't been here in over a week. Watch yourself Elena, we think he has been searching for you. I had Bonnie do a hiding spell on you, I hope you don't mind. He won't be able to find you through a locater spell." He said as I took a breath of relief. It was then I could here Elijah and Rebekah coming up to the house.
ELENA POV
"How is Bonnie? Is she still upset with me?" I asked as the siblings were walking quietly in the living room.
"She isn't mad at you Elena, you just know how she is. She is a witch who lost her Grams and Mother to Vampires. She loves you its just hard on her, give her some more time." I nodded my head in response.
"Elena?" He questioned.
I laughed, "Oh sorry I was nodding my head, I forgot we were talking on the phone." Jeremy was laughing.
"You take care of yourself okay, I love you." I say to him.
"I love you too. If you need anything or if the dickwad shows his face you call me. I have a stake with his name carved in it." This causes me to laugh even harder.
"No, seriously I carved it yesterday."
"Will do. Bye Jer." I say hanging up. I look up to see Elijah looking at me sadly.
"Remind me to never to piss your brother off!" Rebekah chuckled.
"You already did." I chuckled back.
I could see her look uncomfortable, I didn't mean to say that in front of her brother. They both could tell by the look on my face.
"About that Elena, I told him. I am sorry. I am not just saying this because of Elijah. I was scared Nic was going to die and-" she started but i cut her off.
"No, listen I am not mad about that. I would have done the exact same thing for my brother. In a way you also did a mercy for Ric. He didn't want to be what your mother made him." I said seriously.
They both look at me confused, "I promise bygones and all." Rebekah smiled. It was then that Hope giggled at me, I look down at her.
"You have been such a good little angel!" I say picking her up to my chest, giving her kisses on her cheeks causing her to giggle non stop.
"That is a noise I would never grow tired of." Rebekah said.
"I second that!" Elijah finally spoke up.
Rebekah came to grab Hope out of my hands, "I think I will put this princess to bed."

It had been about 15 mins since Rebekah left the room and it had been so silent you could hear a pin drop.
"Elena listen I feel like maybe we should go to the bedroom to talk privately."
I nod my head, I look down in embarrassment at my legs.
"What is wrong? Does that make you uncomfortable? We can stay here if-"
"No, I just can't move, it hurts to much to stand anymore." He looked at me sadly. He walked over to me and picked me up and carried me to my bed laying me down. He closed the door and sat down next to me.
"Elijah, I want you to know that I didn't reject you. My heart was breaking when I heard to cry out."
"You, you heard that?" He asked embarrassed.
"Yes, I did. I love you. I have loved you for a long time but you never asked for this. I did not want you to feel like I had forced you into this. I knew you would accept the bond because you would never let me die. I could not live with myself if you were settling because you had to."
"Don't you see my love, you are my soul mate. Thats not settling. I have had affection for you since the day I saw you in the filthy mansion. My soul was calling to yours. I had wanted you to live your life as a human and have children. I never wanted this life for you." I looked at him with awe. He wasn't settling for me?
"I love you, Lovely." I hear him say.
He climbed over me careful to not put his weight on me. He looked in my eyes, "May, we please finish this bond now." He said huskily. I could feel my heart beating out of my chest. He leaned down pressing his lips to mine ever so softly. God this man tasted like heaven! He brought his fingertips to my neck grazing my neck teasingly.
"God, Yes!" I said aroused more than I had ever been. This caused him to chuckle as he was lightly kissing my neck.
"Once I claim you, thats it Elena. I do NOT share, I know the bond prevents that, but you are mine. No other man shall ever touch you." He said possessively.
"Nor will any other Woman!" I say back.
"Yes my love." He said putting his wrist up to my lips to bite. I nodded my head and he sunk his fangs into my neck as I did the same to his wrist.
The feeling was euphoric, it felt like we our souls were finally complete. As he was feeding from me, I felt his other hand lift up my nightdress. He pushed my panties to the side, and could feel the wetness. He thrust a finger inside of me, making me moan. He stuck another finger in pumping in and out and used his thumb to make circles on my swollen nub. I let go of his wrist and screamed out.
""Lijah!" I yelled out as I came. He detached his mouth from my neck, and looked at me, "You are so beautiful." He brought his fingers up to him nose and inhaled, "You smell divine, Lovely."
I swallowed hard hearing his desire for me in his voice. I reach for his belt but he stops me. "I do not want to rush this my love. When I do make love to you, it will not be with my sister in the house." he smirked. "There is no rush, I love you Elena." He said. I nodded my head and yawned.
Sleep, my love
I turned my head to look at him, my eyes wide, "Did I just hear you in my head?"
He laughed, Yes Lovely, our bond has been complete you can hear me as I can hear you.
I love you Elijah.
Sleep now.
Will you stay with me?
Always and Forever, lovely.
