"Are you ready?" Elijah asked Elena.

"Not really." she answered. He grabbed her hand as they walked towards the front door.

The door swung open and both Damon and Stefan appeared. They were about to hug her when they aw her holding hands with Elijah.

"What's going on?" Stefan wondered.

"We'll explain it all inside." Elijah said stepping in the house.

"We're waiting," Damon was getting impatient.

"Here it goes," Elena started, "I love Elijah."

"This can't be happening," Stefan was in denial, "Wait Elena, are you on vervain?"

"No, but he didn't…"

"Of course he did. He probably compelled you to say that."

"I can assure you that I didn't compel Elena, these are her true feelings." Elijah joined the conversation.

"I can prove it," Elena stated, "compel me to express my true feelings."

"Fine," Damon walked over to her and compelled her, "How do you really feel about Elijah?"

"I love him," she replied.

She could see anger in Damon's eyes as he ran over to Elijah and pinned him against the wall. Elijah, being much stronger then Damon, easily pulled him off. While Elijah was distracted fighting Damon, Alaric suddenly came into the room holding a familiar looking dagger.

"No!" Elena screamed as the dagger was plunged into Elijah's heart.

Klaus finally returned to Mystic Falls after a very unsuccessful trip. He went straight to his house where he found Kol.

"Kol, where's Elena?"

"Why don't you ask our brother Elijah."

"He took her?"

"No, he rescued her."

"But the Salvatores said that he was…" Klaus suddenly realized he was tricked and immediately went to their house.

When he arrived, he didn't bother to knock, but went straight inside to find Elena being help up against the wall by Stefan. She was screaming at him and desperately trying to break free. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he saw Elijah on the ground with a dagger through his heart. Rage instantly surfaced inside him and he ripped Stefan off of Elena. While he was fighting with the Salvatores, Elena bent down to Elijah and pulled out the dagger.

"Why did you dagger my brother?" Klaus asked Damon.

"Oh you don't know do you?" Damon knew Klaus hated not knowing what was going on.

"Know what?"

"That Elena and Elijah are in love." These words hit Klaus like a ton of bricks. After everything he had done to try and get Elena with a human his own brother had decided to fall in love with her. However, Klaus knew that Elijah had been extremely unhappy for many years. If Elena made him happy, then Klaus would have to learn to accept that.

"When my brother wakes up, we'll leave and you'll never see us again. Elena is going to come with us."

"You can't take her away from us." Stefan protested.

"I believe that the choice is up to Elena. So what do you say love, will you come with us?"

Elena only had to think for a couple of seconds before she knew the answer. "Yes."

They waited in the house for Elijah to wake up. Damon and Stefan were desperately trying to convince Elena to stay, but her mind was already made up. They knew that they couldn't change it. After a couple of minutes, Elijah was awake. He desperately wanted revenge on them for daggering him, but with the efforts of both Elena and Klaus he managed to calm down. It was then that they finally told him about their plans.

"Are you sure that you want to do this Elena?"

"I love you Elijah and I want to be with you and only you." She looked over at Damon and Stefan. She could see the hurt in their eyes, but she didn't care. They had killed the man she loved and she was tired of them making decisions for her.

They left the boarding house and went to Elena's so she could pack her things. She packed quickly and said goodbye to Alaric. He apologized for killing Elijah. He explained that he thought that Elena was being compelled. He told Elena to have a good time and to call as often as possible.

They arrived at Klaus' mansion within a couple of minutes. That's where she ran into the person she really didn't want to see, Kol.

"Hey Elena." The way he said her name annoyed her.

"What do you want Kol?" she asked rudely.

"Just wanted to know how you're doing? Did you enjoy our time together?"

"If we're being completely honest, no I didn't. You're a terrible person Kol and I'm just happy to get away from you."

"Elena, are you ready?" Elijah called from the other room.

"Yeah, I'm coming."

When she reached the car, she found Klaus sitting behind the wheel.

"What is he doing here?" She asked Elijah.

"I'm coming with you." Klaus interrupted.

"Why?"

"Cause I'm bored. Is that ok with you?"

"Whatever."

After the car was packed up, they began their journey. Elena watched as Mystic Falls disappeared through the window.
