Elena's POV

When my eyes groggily opened i rolled onto my side hiding in Elijah's chest "good morning beautiful" was there a better sound in the world? i smiled and lifted my head to look at him, only Elijah could look so sexy with his hair sticking up everywhere.

"good morning" he frowned cupping my cheek as his eyes scanned my face "Elena.. You don't look good" i raised an eyebrow at him before I laughed, he sure knew how to make me feel good "you realize in 30 seconds you managed to tell me i was beautiful and not good looking?"

He laughed a little shaking his head but his eyes still scanned my face filled with concern "I'm serious Elena.. Your sweating" i did feel warm actually, I quickly dismissed him rolling my eyes "I'm fine Elijah, its just warm" he was still unsure but nodded

"we should go out to breakfast today" i shrugged pulling panties on before climbing out of bed to go to the bathroom.

When i got upright my bones protested making me whimper gripping the bed to steady myself, he appeared next to me holding me up firmly but i couldn't straighten my legs without feeling woozy. I couldn't even make my toes curl

"Elena" he sat me back down on the bed and knelt in front of me rubbing my thighs soothingly. i wiped my head surprised at the sweat glazing my skin "i might have a bug" he shook his head looking worried. This was the first time I'd seen him scared.

"i don't think so, you really aren't looking good" he stood and grabbed my phone pressing a few things before holding it to his ear

"Jeremy? Could you and bonnie come over? Something really isn't right with Elena, hurry" i rolled my eyes at him trying not to worry for nothing "I'm fine" he ignored me and agreed with Jeremy about something before hanging up and tossing the phone on the bed.

"lie down, ill get you water" i shook my head frowning. The last thing I needed was water "i need the bathroom" i tried to stand again and scream as the muscle behind my knee stretched and burned.

I instantly fell back down on the bed my eyes filling with tears. Something was really off!! My stomach was turning and my limbs felt wobbly.

"w-whats happening to me!!" his eyes were screaming in pain and confusion, he didn't know what to do. It was clear he was worried making me panic even more

"your fine, your going to be fine!" was he reassuring me or himself? he lifted me delicately and walked into the bathroom. When we passed the mirror my eyes nearly fell out, my face looked drawn in.. like i was wasting away! "I look like I'm dying!!" His face contorted in pain but he never said anything

On the way back out he went to lay me down in bed and i shook my head at him, "sofa?" i shrugged as my eyes groggily closed without permission. "Elena?" i made an 'mmm' sound unable to make my eyes open again.

Elijah's POV

"Elena?? Look at me" i dashed to the sofa laying her down gently before running to the kitchen for a damp towel to wipe the sweat off her face and neck.

Something was happening why can i help her?? Like a light bulb I remembered my blood can and crunched my teeth into my arm pressing it against her lips.

Once i was sure she had enough i pulled my arm back waiting on it working. It didn't, she looked worse. She wouldn't survive long as this rate, she was practically fading away in front of my eyes.

"come on Elena!" the front door crashed open and Jeremy ran over to her followed by bonnie "what happened??"

I shrugged stepping away to give him space "i don't know, my blood isn't healing her.. I don't know" i think he was surprised, a dull look took over his body with small tears streaming down his cheeks as he cups her face

"Elena? Your the only one left.. i need you" she stirred with tears rolling down her cheeks too. Her tears were like acid to my heart, she still lay in her underwear looking more and more decomposed by the second. Bonnie gulped shaking her head "this isn't a human illness, she couldn't get so sick so fast if it was"

i frowned looking down at her, not a human illness? What the fuck? "hold on, I'll try and get help" i handed Jeremy the towel and Bonnie started walking away "ill get clothes for her" i didn't even think of that, i quickly darted off to the mansion

"Klaus? Rebekah?" Klaus appeared and Rebekah walked in the front door behind me a minute later "somethings wrong with elena, seriously wrong" both of their face fell in surprise

"what do you-" "can you just come? Its not good" they nodded and followed me when i took off back for Elena's house.

when we came to a stop Jeremy sat next to her dabbing her head, she looked paler.. Skinnier. Her frail body barley moved with her breathing. She had shorts and a t-shirt on that was drenched in sweat already.

I looked at them to see if they had any ideas but Rebekah's expression surprised me, she looked worried, upset.. They're both thinking seriously hard.

Jeremy looked up at us through tear filled eyes "help her.. Please" i dropped to my knees in front of her and kissed her head, she unconsciously leaned in to my touch making me smile a little.

She was getting worse by the second. "there must be something we can do?! 3 originals and a fucking black magic witch, we still cant help her?!"

They all looked as worried as me but my stone cold heart wasn't stone cold anymore, it was in cracked pieces at the bottom of my chest. I ran my fingers over her teeth mark on my neck

I wish I'd marked her sooner, i shook my head refusing to give in "bonnie can't you do a healing spell or Something?" she shook her head looking at Jeremy with apologetic eyes

"i already did, last year once i got used to black magic.. the most powerful health spell, she shouldn't be sick.. Ever" she looked confused and Klaus walked closer to me

"we could.. Shit" he ran his fingers through his hair and Rebekah walked closer too "does anybody have any idea when it started?"

I looked up at Bonnie almost hoping she could read my mind and figure it all out "she stayed with the Salvatores yesterday? She looked a little drained before that but i thought she was just losing weight or drained?" bonnie pulled her phone out holding it to her ear

"Stefan? Elena's seriously sick.. Did anything happen yesterday? Anything that could help figure out why this is happeni-" the phone cut off and she stared at it in shock for a minute "he hung up!"

Before anyone could say anything else Stefan and Damon appeared in the room and both fell apart when they saw her, Stefan stalked forward pushing my shoulders roughly. I didn't move an inch

"what the fuck have you done to her!!!" i snapped and pushed him so hard he crashed to the floor in a heap, my eyes went instantly black with veins popping out everywhere "i would never fucking hurt her! What did you do!!" he shook his head looking slightly scared and confused. When Damon knelt down in front of her reaching for a hand her heart beat sped up wildly and i darted forward throwing him away from her.

He landed across the room with a loud crash and everyone looked at me with wide eyes in shock thinking I was going crazy, I was!!! "stay the fuck away from her!!" i couldn't help myself, she was already sick. I dropped to my knees hiding my face in her chest seriously fighting the urge to shout and scream

"wake up baby" her heart was frantically calling to me and i couldn't help making me want to flip out even more.

When her small finger grazed my arm i shot up looking down at her, it wasn't much but still "she can move, she moved her finger" i tilted her head to face me as Damon sniffed the air loudly and gasped behind me

"she marked you?!" i frowned looking up at him with a killer glare, Klaus walked closer with wide eyes looking like he'd won something "that's it!!" i looked at him with a raised eyebrow "the mark! She's human, maybe.. I don't know?" i waited for him to get his thoughts in order, i was fighting the urge to scream at everyone. This isn't their fault.

"Elijah, if a Vampire or wolf has been marked and doesn't get one back their body gets weak over time.. I don't know if that's even helpful because shes human and honestly? I didn't even know humans could do that.. But she has so, maybe its because you haven't marked her back?"

Stefan growled across the room making my fists clench, Jeremy nudged me getting my attention before I could rip his head off. He looked completely broken "please, help her" i gulped looking down at her, she was supposed to decide when this happened not us!

"i love you, Elena.. So much" i ran my finger down her cheek and leaned over her placing a light kiss on joint between her neck and shoulder before biting into her. My fangs came out and i pulled away after a minute watching my venom heal her would up.

It didn't heal like the rest, this one was noticeable to everyone. I didn't take my eyes off her and everyone watched in amazed silence as her body got some colour before filling back in to her normal size, her cheeks plumped up again and Jeremy's tears were of happiness

She stirred frowning and i leaned closer kissing her forehead, when she kissed my chin i basically squealed lifting her up off the sofa locking my arms around her waist, her arms went around my neck pulling me impossibly closer

"mmm.. You smell so good" i chuckled, the relief in my bones couldn't even be described "you scared me!" her small fingers stroked my cheek and she pulled back to look at me. She still looked exhausted but so much better "i love you too Elijah"

a smile spread across my face and she turned looking at Jeremy still sitting on the floor with tear damp cheeks. I let her go and she sat down hugging him to her "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry i worried you" he didn't say anything only held her close squeezing his eyes shut.

"i was.. God Elena!!" she giggled and wiped his tears before looking around the room giving everyone a sheepish smile "sorry.. I don't even" she shook her head but her eyes made there way back to mine. Fuck she was beautiful.

She stared for a bit and licked her lips before shaking her head looking away to Damon and smiled "hey"

He returned it and Stefan stepped closer to her. Before i could react she held her hand out stopping him "Stefan.. I'm sorry but, i cant" she shook her head and backed away walking to my side.

"what do you mean? Why have you forgiven him and not me?" she snorted giving him a bored look "he didn't fuck my best friend" he flinched and she sighed quietly before continuing with a softer voice

"i know you still care, i do too.. A little, but just because I'm with Elijah it doesn't change what you done. I can't forgive you and not Caroline, You ruined one of my longest friendships.. You don't do that to people you care about.. I'll never trust you again"

His face fell and he nodded before disappearing, i wasn't even going to lie and say it didn't make me feel better now that he was gone. Damon smiled at her "you forgive me?" she shrugged and smiled a little, she was too nice for her own good sometimes "yes, you were covering for your brother. I understand" he nodded relived and Rebekah grinned catching her attention

"thought i was getting rid of you eventually" before i could retort Elena snorted "bitch, you would miss me!" they both laughed and bonnie raised her eyebrows at them. Elena grinned turning to face her

"sorry i ruined you weekend Bon" she rolled her eyes and walk over hugging her tight "don't be, I'm so glad your better" when they pulled apart she grinned at Klaus "jeez, you'd think the queens in town"

Everyone laughed and Jeremy hugged her again almost just making sure she really was fine before going into the kitchen, bonnie grinned at her and followed him.

"we better get going" Klaus nodded agreeing with Rebekah but Elena stepped closer stopping them "wait! Did you get the dress?" Klaus nodded and she visibly relaxed as a small smile spread on her face

"its only a dress Elena you didn't need to send him for it" she shrugged walking back to my side locking her fingers around mine, she felt like the anchor keeping me grounded. I never in my life thought this would ever happen "its not only a dress" Rebekah laughed shaking her head and they both left quickly.

Damon walked over to us smiling at her "I'm glad you're better, for what its worth? I miss you being my best friend" she smiled but I felt a familiar twinge in my stomach, he definitely wanted more from her than 'friends' and he'd be delusional to think I'd believe other wise "i know, things change but ill always be here if you need me" he nodded and cleared his throat looking at me

"sorry, about before.. I didn't know she marked you or i would have kept my distance, the bond controls everything i understand that. I won't touch her" i nodded, damn right he wont. he smiled at Elena before disappearing.

She instantly turned in my arm pulling me closer locking her lips with mine, after a minute she pulled away licking her lips "fuck, why am i feeling so.." i grinned squeezing her ass

"its the bond.. It'll continue to grow, it only gets better" i took her bottom lip in my teeth making her groan "but hold off, Jeremy is in hearing distance" she pulled me down to her whispering "well stop teasing me"

Her arms wrapped around my neck as she kissed me hungrily, letting out a groan when my tongue fights for control "your so fucking sexy" she giggled and pecked me again before stepping back a little "and hungry, don't forgot hungry" i chuckled and pulled away taking her hand "hey, you think that's why iv been a little bitch lately?" i frowned stopped her from walking

"a little bitch? You aren't and have never been a little bitch Elena" she giggled elbowing my arm playfully "thank you, i mean my emotions.. They've been so unusual" i shook my head laughing, she didn't even know how perfect she was. It was humbling

"i don't care, you're better that's what matters" she nodded and let me go kissing my cheek "I'm going to shower quickly i feel horrible" when she walked away it felt like a band had snapped around me dragging me to her, i frowned giving myself a shake but she stopped walking too.

"did you feel that?" she nodded not turning around "are you freaked out?" she shook her head, not very reassuring... "are you sure? You look freaked out" i started feeling uneasy and pushed the need to walk over to her

She spun and ran over practically jumping on me as she kissed me hungrily. When she started pulling at my shirt and i mentally cursed before pushing her hands away and raising an eyebrow at her,

"fuck" she shook her head and stepped back slowly "i cant.. Fuck" she stopped and pressed her thighs together squeezing her eyes closed "what are you doing to me" i laughed loudly feeling giddy inside "what you done to me in the shower apparently!" she giggled shaking her head

"ill be back" she ran off and the band snapped around me again but she didn't stop, I quickly pulled myself together before i wandered into the kitchen and sat down running my hands through my hair

Jeremy and bonnie continued to chatter away, they tried to add me to the conversation but I was basically jumping in the seat. Elena was so close but so far away, I could hear her in the shower humming along with her phone. The soap rolling down her body... FUCK!!!!

I shifted around again and Jeremy laughed loudly grabbing my attention "what is wrong with you?" I frowned looking up, they were both grinning like they had caught me up to something. I quickly lost concentration again as the shower switched off.

"Wow.." my head snapped back to bonnie "you really are in deep" I shook my head crossing my arms trying to act completely fine "what are you talking about?"

She leaned on the table crossing her arms under her to prop herself up "well, from the second you sat down you've been practically bouncing. Your not even in the room your listening to her, it might just be the most adorable thing iv ever seen. Well, most adorable thing you could ever see a near indestructible super bad do"

She giggled but I frowned suddenly really interested in what these people actually think of me "i don't think he's an indestructible super bad, I think he's saved my life more than once since Elena jumped sides so he might be near indestructible? But he's not super bad, he's super Elena's"

He chuckled and bonnie raised an eyebrow "saved you more than once?" I looked back to him curious to what he was talking about "well Klaus was going to kill me, then he saved elena right there. Saved me twice"

The implication was he would have died if Elena did, but I couldn't think straight to take it in. My full attention was back on Elena, I shifted in the seat again concentrating on the room

"Yes but that's irrelevant, that was Klaus" bonnie giggled biting into her lip "yes OK, I give up" he grinned and I stood from the table "I need the bathroom" they nodded going back to flirting and I quickly walked away

As I got half way up the stairs Elena was just getting to the top, the band around me vanished and she sighed happily closing her eyes. I instantly pulled her closer to me kissing her hungrily

When she started pulling on my cloths I grabbed her hands and pushed her against the wall "Elija-" I cut her off kissing her again and pulling her off the wall walking her backward into her bedroom.

I leaned away and shut her door quietly pushing her against it "Elijah your killing me" I chuckled darkly stopping her hands again "we have around 3 minutes" she frowned confused but I had her trousers gone in seconds cupping her pussy "aaaahhh" she pulled me closer panting

I grinned at her slipping a finger into her pussy "mmm, I just needed something" she looked at me confused but I quickly dropped her hands adding another finger grabbing one of her legs, her mouth popped open as she rolled her hips enjoying the jolts of pleasure

"So gooood" I smirked at her as I slowly pulled them out rubbing my thumb against her clit, she shuddered making me chuckle "please Elijah, please" she was wriggling around on one foot trying to lower her ass down, digging her fingers into my shoulders

They were going to start wondering where I am soon, I quickly pushed my fingers back in curling them making her moan "try and be quiet" she nodded quickly and i started fucking her. I wanted her to be quiet but I was trying to make her scream at the top of her lungs.

She was a sight, her eyes rolled in her head as she whimpered and moaned jerking her hips around "I'm gonna c-" she gasps as I quickly pulled my fingers out and dropped her leg

"ELIJAH!" I chuckled darkly and licked my fingers before kissing her cheek "hurry and get dressed" i pulled away but she pulled me back looking horrified

"You're kidding? You can't just stop wh-" she's cut off again as I kissed her roughly and held her chin "get dressed" a fresh wave of arousal filled my nostrils making my cock spring to life

She was a strange one, she wanted sweet and gentle but also wanted rough and crazy.. a complete puzzle, that I have full intention of enjoying. She nodded quickly biting into her lip with a cheeky smile

I held back my smile and nodded at her before I gave in and kissed her again gently pulling her body against mine "I'll be down stairs, don't touch yourself" i dropped my gaze to between her legs and back to her raising an eyebrow, she nodded and kissed me again before stepping back. I quickly made my way back down stairs and slid back into my seat

"Oh! Have you been there long?" I smirked sinking back in the seat and bonnie laughed nervously "did you hear..." I grinned and she slapped Jeremy's arm, I had no fucking idea what she was talking about and shrugged at Jeremy letting him know I was just annoying her. He grinned happily and continued to poke fun at her.
