I was going to get this chapter up a few weeks ago, but I was focusing too much on my other stories and I was having some computer issues. At least it's up now :) I hope it's worth the wait.
~ There are Klaus and Elena moments in this chapter... I just can't resist them. I'm thinking I might have a Delena scene, but I'm not exactly sure.

storylover3: Thank you. I can tell you that I'm going to try and update more often for this story, while writing about four other stories at the sametime.

ENJOY!


~The Salvatore Boarding House~

Stefan laid on his bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about Elena. She was the only reason that he got up in the morning, the only reason that he continued existing. He had to get her away from Klaus, he just had to. He needed to feel her embrace, to smell her hair, to look into her chocolate brown eyes and say 'I love you'. Most of all he needed to know that she would be safe. Every time he thought of her, all he could see was her smiling and happy.

"Are you pinning over your precious Elena?" A voice came from his door. Stefan turned his head and saw Katherine leaning against his doorway, looking at him. "It's not a good look for you Stefan."
"What do you want Katherine?" He asked without looking at her.
"Did you forget already?" She said as she took a step into his room. "I know what's happening to Elena and you don't." Stefan reluctantly sat up on his bed and looked at Katherine.
"Why do you want to help?"
"Because I hate Klaus. It's not good for us when he has Elena in this condition."
"What do you mean?"
"Get the rest of the Scooby gang and meet me downstairs. That way I don't have to repeat everything to everyone." Katherine turned around and walked out of his room.

What she said was true, she does hate Klaus. That was only one reason why she is helping Stefan. She wants to help because she can try to get Stefan back. There was no way she was going to pass up an opportunity like this.


~Klaus, Elena & Damon~

Klaus, Elena, and Damon were sitting in the back seat of a car. Elena was asleep, with her head on Klaus's shoulder. Damon couldn't help but feel jealousy and wonder why she was sleeping in Klaus instead of him. Elena clearly remembered him, but she has spent time with Klaus. Damon missed Elena but he was going to be careful.

Klaus felt comfortable with Elena on his shoulder. He was starting to feel something that he hasn't felt in a long time. Elena has started to bring it out. He slowly moved his arm over Elena's shoulder before laying it over her arm. His hand laid on top of hers.

Damon wanted to smack Klaus, but he knew that wouldn't do anything. If he did, it would just make things worse. He didn't know how many memories that she had, but he knew that she at least remembered the first time they met. Not the time at the boarding house, but outside the party on the night her parents died. If what Katherine told him was really true, then Elena would remember what happened in her room the night they rescued her from Elijah.


About an hour later they finally arrived at their destination. Elena still had her head on Klaus's shoulder and he still had his arm on her. Damon just stared out the window until the car came to a stop.
"Elena sweetheart," Klaus whispered to Elena ", time to wake up."
"Five more minutes." She mumbled.
"I'll just have to carry you then." He said before unbuckling her seat belt and carefully putting his arms under her.
Damon watched Klaus treat Elena carefully. It was like Elena was made of glass and Klaus was afraid of breaking her. Damon looked away as he got out of the car.

Elena brought her arms around Klaus's neck as he pulled her out the car. He held her in a bridal style as he closed the car door with his foot.
"What are we doing in Chicago?" Damon asked Klaus. "It can't be just for sightseeing."
"I'm just here to visit an old friend." Klaus answered Damon before looking at the sleeping Elena in his arms. "But seeing as Elena needs some rest maybe you find the three of us a source of blood." Klaus looked to Damon. "I'll find a place for us to stay the night and text you the details later."
"Don't hurt her." Damon said, momentarily looking at Elena before walking away.

When Klaus couldn't hear Damon's footsteps anymore he looked at Elena's sleeping face.
"Time to wake up sweetheart." He whispered to her. Elena moaned a little before she slowly started to open her eyes.
"Klaus?" She asked as she looked at his face. "What time is it?"
"It's still early in the morning." Klaus slowly set Elena's feet on the ground so she was standing by herself.
"Where's Damon?" Elena asked, which made Klaus slightly jealous and worried inside, but he easily brushed it off.
"He's doing some business for us in the city." Elena gave a slight nod, showing him that she understood. "While he is out, I have something planned for the both of us."
"What?"
"It's a surprise, but first we have to find a hotel to stay in for the night before we can visit my favorite witch tomorrow."
"Can we share a room?" Elena found herself asking. Klaus was slightly taken back by the question, but he quickly composed himself.
"If that's what you want Elena." Elena gave him a small smile before he gently slipped his hand to Elena's. She didn't pull away as he led her towards the city.


~At the Salvatore Boarding House~

Katherine sat on a couch in the Salvatore's living room with a glass filled with bourbon. She slowly sipped it as Jeremy and Alaric entered the living room.
"What are you doing here?" Jeremy asked Katherine.
"Didn't Stefan tell you? I have news on Elena, but I'm not going to tell you until everyone else is here." Katherine pulled out her phone from her pocked and texted Damon.
'Are you away from Klaus?' She set her phone on the cushion next to her just as Bonnie and Caroline entered the house.
"Hello witchy," Katherine looked at Bonnie ", Blondie." She switched her gaze to Caroline. "How's wolfey doing?" Caroline just rolled her eyes
"Let's get this straight." Bonnie said to Katherine without sitting down. "I don't like you. The only reason I'm here is because Stefan said that you have news on Elena. What I don't get it why you're here and not in another country." Katherine gave a small smirk.
"It's no secret that I don't like you guys. Well, maybe Caroline but everyone knows I hate Klaus. He murdered my family and with the curse broken he's dangerous, more dangerous than anyone can deal with." Just then Katherine's phone rang. She looked at the screen and immediately answered it and put it on speaker. "You call just in time Damon." She said as she placed her phone on the coffee table in front of her. "I'm putting you on speaker phone with your scooby gang."
"Good." Damon said over the phone. "I have news about Elena."
"Is she okay?" Caroline asked.
"Sort of." Damon said.
"What do you mean?" Jeremy asked worryingly before Bonnie gently grabbed his hand.
"She remembers something, but I don't know exactly what."
"Can you ask her?" Alaric asked.
"I haven't had the chance and I don't think I'll get one. Klaus won't let her out of his sight."
"
Is he hurting her?" Jeremy asked.
"No. If anything he's protecting her."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean exactly that. Last night she got bit by a werewolf and Klaus healed her. Apparently his blood is the cure for a werewolf bite."
"How?" Stefan asked.
"He's a full hybrid now." Katherine said, which made everyone look at her. "I guess it makes sense." She leaned back into the couch.
"Where are you now?" Stefan asked.
"Chicago. Klaus wants to know why he can't create hybrids. He's said he is going to visit his favorite witch tomorrow." Immediately Stefan and Katherine knew who it was. There was silence for a minute before Stefan spoke up.
"You said you know what's happening to Elena." He said as he looked at Katherine. "What exactly is happening?" Katherine let out a sigh before sitting straight.
"It's because she's the doppelganger." Katherine started to explain. "The same thing happened to me when I was first turned, except a little differently. When I awoke from my transition, I remembered everything. The next morning when I woke up, I had forgotten everything. It took me years to remember my human life." Katherine exchanged looks from everyone. "Of course by 1864 I had all my memories, but they took a while to come to me." She took a breath. "Elena is different though. Obviously she had no memories when she when she woke up, otherwise she wouldn't be with Klaus. If there was anything that she was compelled to do or to forget, she'll remember those memories first." Jeremy took a deep breath as started to worry more about his sister. Bonnie and Caroline started to really worry about Elena. Who know what Klaus is up to with her. "Everything about you guys, every connection she felt when she was human is gone until she remembers them."

"She remembers me." Damon said over the phone. "She'll know Stefan from the other night because Klaus said his name."
"What does she remember?" Stefan asked.
"Honestly, I don't know. I'd have to ask if Klaus ever lets her out of her sight." Stefan took a deep breath as he thought about their current situation.
"Do you know where they are now?" He asked.
"Finding a place to stay for the night."
"I'll be there in the morning." Everyone with Stefan looked at him with confusion.
"What? No. If you remember Elena tried to attack you when she saw you. For all we know Klaus could have told her something about you that she didn't like."
"I don't care." Stefan calmly said. "I need to see her with my own eyes."
"Okay then. So what's the plan?"
"We get Elena back."
"And exactly how do you plan on doing that Stefan?" Katherine asked. "Klaus is a hybrid who is basically twice my age and has a confused Elena. How do you plan on getting her back from him?"
"No clue, but we have to try something. Bonnie's magic won't work with Elena so we have to do something." Stefan took a deep breath. "Damon, try to get away from them tomorrow. I'll go to a place that I used to stay in when I was in Chicago."
"I know the place." Damon said. "Text me when you get here and make sure you stay out of Klaus's sight before we come up with a plan." Damon hung up and Katherine put her phone back into her pocket.
"What makes you think you and Damon can bring her back?" Alaric asked Stefan. "She's with Klaus."
"We'll try somehow." Katherine said.
"We?" Stefan asked her with surprise and slight confusion.
"You don't think I'm letting you go to Chicago by yourself now do you?" Katherine said as she stood up. "I'm the only one that really knows what Elena is going through and the way I see it you're going to need all the help you can get."
"What are we supposed to do?" Jeremy asked. "Wait here until you bring Elena back?"
"Jeremy." Bonnie whispered softly to him.
"We just can't sit here and do nothing while my sister is running around with Klaus with almost no memories."
"If she is around somebody she knew when she was human she will regain more memories faster." Katherine said to Jeremy. "I was with no one so it took me longer to remember things. The faster Elena regains her memories the faster she can get away from Klaus."
"Okay." Stefan said, looking at Katherine before he looked towards Alaric. "Can you go through the all the information that might help to see if there is anything that might help Elena regain her memories faster?" Alaric gave him a nod.


~Elena and Klaus~

Elena and Klaus had already went to a hotel and rented a two bedroom room. They had decided that Elena and him were going to share a room. Klaus texted Damon the location of the hotel and the room number and told him to meet him and Elena in the room.

Elena was holding Klaus's hand as they rode up in the elevator. They were going to the highest available floor of the tallest building in Chicago.
"I remember when this building was being built." Klaus said to Elena. "It sure has come a long way."
"What's it like?" Elena asked, which made Klaus slightly confused. "Being able to travel all the time and doing whatever you want?"
"It's amazing." Klaus said as the elevator door opened. He held her hand as they stepped out of the elevator. "You can see the world whenever and how ever you like."
"Must be fun." Elena said as they turned the corner. Her eyes went a little wide at the sight from the windows. "Wow." She exclaimed when she saw the view. "How high up are we?" She asked as she walked up to the window to look out.
"103 stories high." Klaus stepped up behind Elena. "It's amazing. You can practically see half the city from up here."
"Everything looks so small." Elena's eyes just looked at the buildings below them.
"Come here." Klaus whispered in her ear. "Look out this way." He held his arm around her shoulder and gently guided her towards another side.
"It looks like we are so far away." They both stood there for a moment, just looking at the body of water that was far away from them. "Thank you." Elena said before slowly turning to Klaus. He gave her a small smile.
"You're welcome sweetheart." He leaned in and gave her a small kiss. She gave him a smile when the pulled away before going in for another kiss. Klaus was slightly surprised but that didn't bother him much. To Elena, Klaus was the only person she ever kissed and she liked it. They slowly pulled away and looked into each other's eyes.
"Let's go back to the hotel after this." She said to him. He gave her a nod before looking back out the window.


Klaus and Elena continued to hold hands as they walked to the hotel room door. When they walked in they saw Damon sitting on the couch.
"I'm going to take a shower." Elena said to Klaus before walking to the biggest room, which happened to have it's own bathroom.
"Why are there only two bedrooms?" Damon cautiously asked.
"Elena wanted to share a room." Klaus said to Damon before going into the room that Elena had gone into. Damon watched as Klaus closed the door. He was concerned about Elena being in the same room with Klaus. He didn't want anything bad to happen to her. Damon slowly got up from the couch and walked to the other room.

He closed the door behind him and just laid on to the bed. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep. No matter what, he couldn't get Elena out of his head.


~ I was going to end the chapter with the kiss, but then the other stuff I put in the chapter would have to go in the next one and I didn't want to do that.

~ How many memories do you want Elena to have by the time I get to 3.06 Smells like Teen Spirit? What memories would you like them to be? Anything that happened in season one and season two are available (besides what she already remembers.)

~ I'm going to give you three hints on what happens in the next chapter.
1-Elena is going to regain two memories.
2-The memories are going to be from season 1.
3-The chapter is going to be based from 3.03 The End of The Affair.

~ Do you think that Katherine and Elena will run into each other? What do you think Gloria's reaction will be to Elena? What will Stefan and Katherine do when they

~ More reviews make better chapters and make them come out faster. Please share your idea's and thoughts about the story.
