song is Eyes On Fire - Blue Foundation

I'll seek you out, flay you alive.

One more word and you won't survive.

I dramatically put a finger on my chin. "You know, I think I remember that the last thing I saw before leaving Mystic Falls was you and Katherine making out passionately on a sofa." The wanted effect came, pouring over his face like water, the surprise, the embarrassment, the shock, and then the anger. And I felt no fear at all. It felt good. I let out a fake shudder just to emphasize that I really saw shit go down. "It wasn't very clean, was it?"

And I'm not scared of your stolen power.

I see right through you anyhow.

All of a sudden my back was against the cold wall, fingers wrapped tightly around my throat and the air refusing to go into my lungs. The little that did hurt so much that I didn't want to keep doing it. Then I remembered that I didn't really need to breathe, now did I? I stopped taking in mouthfuls of air and stared the Original straight in the eye. "Oh don't be so mad, Elijah. What's the matter? Did she leave you for Stefan? Or Damon, or Tyler, or Matt, or—"

"She's dead, Elena."

I could have rejoiced at the fact. My enemy, my mortal nemesis, was dead. Finally! Who had killed her though? I had to know, so that I would swear allegiance. Okay, not really allegiance, but maybe say a thank you or something.

Apparently, Elijah had expected some sort of apology to come out of my mouth. He was definitely surprised when I sneered and said, "Good riddance."

I won't soothe your pain. I won't ease your strain.

His fingers unwrapped themselves from my throat and fell back to his sides, his face a complete mask of unfeeling. I rubbed the skin under my jaw tenderly. "The world would be better off without that bitch." I spat. Then something collided with my face, and I was thrown far to the right.

I soon found out that it was his hand that had slapped me so hard I flew off. "What the hell, Elijah?!" I looked up to meet his eyes, and they were filled with a fire of hurt, and betrayal, and anger, and sadness, and everything that could have possibly been in-between.

"You know that I loved her." He growled, taking a threatening step towards me.

You'll be waiting in vain. I got nothing for you to gain.

I sneered again, wiping the blood that had trickled from my mouth, and stood up. "I don't care."

Something flashed in his eyes—recognition?—and then he was in front of me in a second, his dark pupils searching mine. I found myself taking an alarmed step back as his index finger pushed my chin upwards. He pursed his lips, pulling his hand away. I whipped my head back, tearing my gaze away from his. He asked, "You turned off your emotions. Why?" his calculating gaze burned holes into me.

I'm taking it slow, feeding my flame.

I sighed, thinking that I might as well. "It doesn't really matter if I keep it a secret now, does it?" sliding down the brick wall and letting my butt plunk down onto the gravel ground; I patted the asphalt beside me, encouraging Elijah to sit. He did, if not rather hesitantly, and then I started explaining. "I won't take so much of your time going through the whole story, so I'll just get on with it.

"All those months of working together to stop Klaus, I felt my feelings for you changing. You changed from this person I hated and wanted dead, to this person that I wanted so badly to protect. I don't think I loved you before, but when I turned…"

"Your emotions were heightened." He finished for me. I nodded, and let my head hit the wall behind me.

Shuffling the cards of your game, and just in time.

In the right place.

"Life's pretty fucked up, huh?" He didn't answer, and I turned my head to look at him. He seemed to be thinking pretty hard on something. I cut in before things could get worse. "I'm not turning it back on, Elijah. I watched you kiss her, I was jealous, and it hurt. This is who I am now. And I know that you're thinking that you might be able to change me back, but you can't. You should just stay away if you know what's good for you." The threat didn't work as it was supposed to, because that familiar glint in his eyes returned when he looked at me.

"Now why should I do that when I've got such a better plan in store for you?" And then I wasn't there anymore. His arms had wrapped themselves around me swiftly, and we were running through the streets of Chesapeake, then the forest, then just plain nowhere. That was when he finally put him down and when I punched him in the face. He didn't seem surprised that I did though, because he laughed, making me scowl in frustration.

Suddenly I will play my ace.

"Where the hell are we, Elijah?" I yelled, already looking around, though there seemed to be nothing to take note of that could have hinted where we were standing.

Elijah was rubbing his jaw leisurely when I looked back to him. "Let's just say that no one will be able to disturb us here."

"Disturb us? Wha—?" he pulled in another form from behind him, someone that he must have dragged along our way here. It was a boy, probably still in college, with matted blonde hair and grey eyes.

I won't soothe your pain. I won't ease your strain.

You'll be waiting in vain. I got nothing for you to gain.

He looked like Matt, slightly, if it weren't for the completely terrified and girly look on his face. "Who are you? Where am I? How'd you do that?"

And while he continued rambling on, I waved a limp hand to Elijah, whom the boy was punching in vain. I let an amused expression onto my face. "Do you really think this will work? I've let men molest me in water before killing them and not even thinking twice about it. You're gonna have to try harder than this."

Elijah only nodded, throwing the boy down onto the ground, but not before taking a juicy bite from his neck. I smiled to myself as soon as the delicious scent of blood entered my nose. "More food for me then." I took a step towards them, but then the Original did something I had not expected. He whistled loudly, making me flinch because of the sudden piercing sound.

Eyes on fire, your spine is ablaze.

Felling any foe with my gaze, and just in time.

And then Damon Salvatore stepped into the clearing, Stefan trailing him smoothly. "Hello again, Elena." One of them said. I didn't care which one; they were both equally going to be my death.

In the right place, steadily emerging with grace.

Gulping down the fear, I crossed my arms. "Is Klaus with you too?" once again, none of them answered, and I saw Elijah smirk inwardly. It made me question their true motives. My suspicions were confirmed when Caroline Forbes stepped into the clearing, dragging an unconscious Matt after her.

Felling any foe with my gaze…
