A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.

Recap: Kol and Bonnie learn more about Silas, Severina and Qetsiyah history. And Elijah and Elena get closer as she wants to help. Elijah is going to train her.

New Orleans:

Elena had been practicing with Elijah a while and was…well improving. Elijah was still able to pin her against the tree in less than ten seconds. Elena was trying and she knew that she was not going to probably ever beat the original really. As they practice Elena tried flashing behind Elijah to try and attack him but he was much faster and Elena up pinned to the tree once again. She cursed. Elijah went back to his side and spoke.

"Show me you stance," He said. She positioned herself in a fighting position that had her arms farther apart exposing her center to her opponent. Elijah raised an eyebrow before walking over behind her. He grabbed her arms and moved them more in front of her protecting her center. "Your arms are too far apart. You see if you hold them together you protect your center," He explained. She couldn't help but blush and feeling her skin get warm where he had touched her. He moved away and she was missing his touch. Elijah back and waited for her to make the first move. Elena struck for his face but her dodged easily and grabbed her arm in mid air putting it behind her back. She struggled and tried using some of the skills that Alaric had taught her. She used her other hand and clenched it in a fist before striking his neck. Elijah lost his grip on her and it was enough for her to pull away and use her leg to kick his out from under him. He lost his balance and went tumbling. Elena moved over him brought the stake hovering over his chest. She smirked realizing that she had won against the all mighty original vampire. He smiled to her.

"I win," She confirmed. He nodded. She lowered the stake.

"Well done Elena," He said. It wasn't until she realized there position. She was straddling his waist with one hand over his chest. She blushed and looked at him not realizing their faces were close enough to see his brown eyes boring into her own. Her breath hitched and she felt everything around them disappear till it was only the two of them. She glanced at his lips for second. She wanted to kiss him. She had kissed him once when he thought she was Katherine. She hated thinking about her. Elijah hesitated, feeling the atmosphere shift with a different mood. It was becoming a more romantic one. No! He cursed himself. He couldn't feel this way for her he made his word that he would not fall in love with another Petrova woman. He wouldn't ever fall in love again. All he couldn't think about was kissing her. He wanted nothing more for her to kiss him as well. But he knew she still had the Salvatore brothers as suitors. He was fairly certain she might still have feelings for him since they didn't break up for too long. Before Elena could even have a chance to press her lips to his he flashed away to the other side of the forest. Elena turned to him embarrassed and slightly stung because in a way it seemed as he rejected her. Perhaps he still loved Katherine. She hated thinking about them together. She looked away and he cleared his throat before speaking once again. "Well I think we have trained enough for today. Shall we?" He held out his hand to help her up. She ignored the gesture of his hand and walked past him. Elijah sighed and followed her out of the woods and back to the mansion. When they got there Klaus and Caroline must have left together and they took the warlock to Sophie's. Elijah said that he would go and check on Sophie and make sure the boy didn't escape and was not using magic. Elena was left alone in the house to think about through her thoughts which were a cluster about Elijah and almost kissing him. She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she almost didn't hear the movement in the house. She looked around.

"Hello?" She walked out into the hallway from her bedroom. She looked around looking for an intruder or Elijah perhaps. "Hello? Elijah?" Another source of movement coming downstairs and no response. "Is someone there?" She called. Still no answer. She slowly descended the stairs looking around for the source of movement that she had heard. She walked into the kitchen and looked around and was about to turn to look in another room when in a flash she was grabbed and shoved against the wall. She tried to scream but it was muffled when she looked to a familiar face. He removed his hand over her mouth and she stared at him in shock.

"Damon?" He nodded to her.

"It's ok, come on let's get out of here." He said grabbing her by the arm and tugging her away from the wall and dragging her to the front door.

"No! Damon let go!" She protested.

"Elena, we have to go before Klaus or the other original come back. This is no time to play stupid." He nearly yelled in irritation. She glared at him.

"Damon I came here on my own. Elijah and…Klaus have been nice enough to take me in. Elijah has been treating me like a guest not a prisoner and Klaus doesn't really care about me his only attention is on Caroline. Caroline and I have been hanging out again and its starting to feel normal to me." He glared at her.

"Normal? NORMAL!" He gripped her forearms in anger. "Elena there not normal there originals that have destroyed and harmed you and your friends! They are not your friends they are going to hurt you why can't you see that!" She tried to push him off of her but he was older than her.

"Damon, I am fine just go home alright I don't need your help. Caroline is here she is with Klaus I am sure that Klaus won't harm me." She snapped.

"Vampire Barbie is with Klaus? Well I guess I should have known she would have given into him sooner or later. But still Elena there originals you can't trust them. Blondie is just dumb so I'm not surprised that she is with him she is quite messed up."

"Damon!"

"Come your coming home now,"

"No Damon let me go!" She yelled. Suddenly his weight was removed from her and she looked to find Damon against the wall with Elijah holding him by the throat.

"Mr. Salvatore I believe she told you to let go of her." Elijah spoke. Damon glared at him.

"Elijah I don't really know if you and your moral self would really go so far as to compel her but I guess that Klaus could have done it too." Damon choked out.

"She came on her own will. I had warned her to stay away but she wanted to come in need of comfort from her best friend and my brother's love Miss Forbes." Elijah said. Damon glared at him. "I suggest you leave Mr. Salvatore I do not think you are welcomed here really. Besides I would hate to have to rip out your heart in front of Elena. Women should never see this and also Elena would not want any harm to come to you since she does in fact care about you." He said.

"I am not going anywhere not without Elena," Damon grunted.

"Damon I am not your girlfriend anymore. And Damon you should really just leave." Elena said folding her arms across her chest. Damon stared at her and growled while shoving Elijah off and scoffing out the door in anger and pain. Elena knew she had hurt him but it was the only way. She sighed when she heard the door close. Elena turned to Elijah.

"Thank you," Elijah nodded.

"No one should ever be taken away against their own will." She touched his hand to show she appreciated his help. But she could see that both of them were now closer and when she was about to try and kiss him he moved away before walking off to the study. Elena sighed. It happened like that for the next three days. She was going to try to get him to see that she had feelings for him and wanted to become more with him. It was when she got out of the shower and asked him if he had a robe that she could borrow. She knew she had one somewhere in his suitcase. Elijah swallowed hard seeing her in just a towel and his gaze slightly glanced to her legs that were exposed. He shook his head and glanced back up to her, composing himself once again before handing her Rebekah's robe and walked back to his room. She groaned slightly annoyed that he still didn't get the hint that she was trying to get him to see. She tried another attempt one evening when she had said that she was cold and scooted over to him to get warm. Elijah had merialy stared at the fire all night in the fireplace trying to think about it other than the beautiful girl snuggling closer to him. Elena tried again one night when there was a thunder storm. It was true though that she didn't like thunder storms and it kind of scared her slightly despite that she was a vampire. She walked into Elijah's room and said that she was scared and Elijah being polite allowed her in his bed not seeing a problem till she started to move toward him. He moved till he could no longer move and was on the edge and before he could figure out what he should do Elena was already wrapping her arms around his torso and laying her head on his chest. Elijah didn't move just stayed like that looking at the ceiling trying to keep himself in control. He didn't get much sleep and he didn't dare touch thinking if he did he would lose the battle within himself. Elijah was reading in his study while Elena was in living room more irritated than ever trying to get Elijah to see her feelings for him. She decided that she was just going to go straight to him and admit them. Elijah looked up from his book to see her come in.

"Elena, what can- He was cut off when she pushed his book to the side and maneuvered herself onto his lap while wrapping her arms around his neck. Elijah swallowed hard. "Umm…Elena what are you doing…." He slightly stuttered. Elijah never really stuttered he was the serious one.

"What am I doing Elijah?" She shook her head and smirked. "Well Elijah I don't know if you have noticed but I like you. A lot and you don't seem to be picking up my hints." She said. Elijah swallowed hard. This woman had the power over him like no one had. He had never felt nervous like this not even with Katerina. Elena glanced at his lips and back to his eyes. Elijah knew he should stop this but when she started peppering light kisses over his skin he froze and could not seem to move. She smirked happy with the effect that she had on him. She took this time to look back in his eyes and just by reading his eyes she knew he broke. He snapped and cupped her face and kissed her gently but at the same time fierce trying to show his feelings and desire that he had for her. She sighed into his mouth. Elijah began to wrap his arms around her pulling her closer to him. Her fingers were tangled in his hair. He groaned and moved to began kissing her neck. She moaned holding his head closer to her neck. Elijah lifted her up and stood and before they could both register anything Elijah flashed them upstairs.

Mystic Falls:

Kol and Bonnie were near the town square. Bonnie was glad that it was late and no one would be out there to witness what they were doing. Kol pulled her to the side, she looked at him in question.

"Bonnie, are you sure you can do the spell, remember the possibility- She cut him off by pressing a quick kiss to his lips.

"I will be fine nothing to worry about were lucky it's a full moon tonight." Bonnie and Kol stopped to watch waiting for Silas's signal. Bonnie looked to see Qetisyah emerge and enter the town square with two of the five hunters. Qetsiyah had changed her clothes and was wearing denim jeans and a red tank and a leather jacket and black high heeled boots. Her dark hair was now up to her shoulders and in loose curls. Bonnie looked to see Silas emerging from the woods with his hands in his jacket pockets. He stopped when he was close to them but left some space in between them. Qetsiyah smiled to him evilly.

"Silas, good to see you again my love," His jaw clenched.

"I am not your love Qetsiyah never have and never will." He said. She rolled her eyes.

"Just admit that you always loved me already Silas we both know that you do. And in return I promise to give you a quick death." She said. Silas shook his head.

"Qetsiyah I know it's hard for you accept that I don't love you but it is the truth and I beg that you only see it because if you don't I will be force to have to do something that I have never really wanted to do because you are like a sister to me." She shook her head.

"You still are bewitched by her. I don't understand how she still has a hold on you even in death." She snapped.

"Because Qetsiyah, I love her and I still do." He said. She flinched slightly hurt by the comment but she would not give up.

"Looks like it will have to be just like the first time." Qetsiyah raised her hand Silas put his hand to his head groaning in pain slightly. Kol looked to Bonnie who was just starting the spell. She spoke the words and felt a tug in her gut as power surged through her. Kol watched as the flames on the candles grew and the wind seemed to pick up blowing her hair in the wind. She concentrated and used her power against Qetsiyah. Qetisyah smirked as Silas was now on his knees in pain. She nodded to the hunters to kill him with the new found skate that she had created that could kill any creature despite how powerful they were. They approached him. Silas gritted his teeth watching them approach him. He used his magic that he had to combine his with Bonnie's to make it stronger and more deadly. Finally Qetsiyah started registering pain. She stopped the pain that she had been inflicting on Silas and cried out in pain. Silas was on his feet in a flash and easily tossed the hunters away knocking them unconscious. Kol flashed to Qetisyah and held her back. He ignored the fact that she was still trying to burn him. Bonnie felt the power of her magic starting to drain and began using another which was her life. She felt blood starting to drip from her nose and pain seeping through her body she felt her body began to feel in pain. Kol turned to her seeing this and was about to flash to her when he saw Silas there grabbing her arms beginning to speak the words. The candles exploded into flames seeing as Silas had just unleashed his new found power as a witch. All he needed was another to activate it. Silas stood and nodded for Kol to go help. Kol flashed to her as she began to slump to the ground. Qetsiyah looked to Silas and her eyes widened when she realized that he had all his powers back and was now truly was the most powerful being in the world. He was now officially an immortal being and a warlock all in one. Qetsiyah looked slightly nervous now but she wasn't going to give up. She raised her hand to strike him down. Silas didn't seem harmed by it as he raised his hand letting fire erupt in it. The legend about Silas was right he was like no other witch or warlock. He threw a fire ball at her and she was knocked to the ground. He was there in a flash and threw her into a tree. She didn't move now and just sat there staring at him coming toward her. He kneeled down in front of her.

"You loved me you know you did," She mumbled. "You should have loved me."

"Maybe I did at a time but not anymore. And I think I finally realize something. You say you love me but I don't think you do." She shook her head.

"No, I do. I love you." He shook his head.

"No that is your problem Qetsiyah. You can't love anyone. That is your curse." He watched a tear escape and slide down her cheek shaking her head. He sighed and swallowed hard.

"Do it," She said. "Do it. Do it!" He ripped her heart out and she slowly just closed her eyes. And Silas sighed feeling a tear of his own sleep down his cheek.

"Goodbye old friend."
