Elena convinced Rose to help her. Elena knew if she worded everything just right she could get a way to contact Klaus. After they discovered Slater was dead Elena convinced Alice… the girlfriend to break into the files. Elena found a way to let Klaus know she was alive. She went to stand and look out the window to wait for Cody's arrival when she saw Elijah's reflection in the window. She gasped and turned. He wasn't there so she put it off as her just thinking about him again.
Elijah who had just gotten his witch to help him find Elena knew where she was. It was time to get her back.
Damon came to retrieve Elena after Rose called. First he took care of Alice, but the guys who were coming after Elena arrived. Damon figured he could take the three of them with Rose's help. That was until one of the dropped dead reveling Elijah behind him holding the dead guys heart.
Elena gasped when she saw him. A wave of terror and a little bit of relief washed over her. Rose disappeared again. Damon being his usual self said "I killed you, you were dead" in response Elijah said "yes, for centuries now" Elena tried not to laugh and instead focused on how he had just killed a guy.
Elijah stepped forward and confronted one of the guys.
Elijah - "Who are you?"
Guy – "Who are you?"
Elijah – "I'm Elijah"
Guy – "She is the doppelganger, we were going to bring her to you, to Klaus… he would want to see her"
Elijah – "Does anyone know you're here?"
Guy – "No"
Elijah smiled and said "Then you have been incredibly useful" he then reached into the two guys chests and ripped out their hearts. He hated how Elena gasped in disgust, but it needed to be done. Damon stepped forward to fight for Elena's life, but Elijah disappeared. This time Damon walked her home, but she didn't get to go to her bed instead she had to see Stefan… he was stuck in the Tomb with Katherine. Damon yelled at her to leave, so she did just as long as Damon didn't follow.
Once home she brushed her teeth and changed into her PJ's. She climbed into bed and started to pull out her journal when Elijah showed up in her room again. He had his hand on her mouth while he removed her necklace with his other hand. He compelled her to remember everything about the night before and he could feel her start to calm. He placed the necklace on the nightstand and walked over to her door and closed it. He did the same to the bathroom door since it was shared with Jeremy's bedroom. He then crossed over to Elena's bed and sat next to her. This time she leaned into his arms.
Elena – "Why did you just let me and Damon go?
Elijah – "Because I want you safe, the Salvatore brothers love you so they will keep you that way"
Elena sat and turned to face Elijah "You only want me safe until Klaus can come and break the curse" Elijah looked at her and shook his head "I want you safe because I've grown fond of you." Elena looked at him shocked at first, but she moved 'till she was next to him, he immediately wrapped his arms around her.
"Hey Elena, I think it's time for me to go" Elena sat up and she looked a little disappointed, but she nodded. Elena turned and grabbed her necklace and handed it to Elijah. He looked at her and again compelled her to forget everything once again, he placed the necklace around her and kissed her cheek and left just like he did the last time.
He hated that he had to leave, but he knew he couldn't spend a lot of time there or they might get caught. He also hated that he had to erase her memory of them being together. Once he was back at his little cabin he was staying in he sat and thought about how much he wanted to kiss her. He was too much of a gentleman to do that when she was with another guy. He knew that holding her like he had wasn't exactly innocent, but she hadn't stopped him.
He began to think about how the sun and moon curse and how it required every last drop of Elena's blood. He didn't want her to die, but he couldn't betray his brother over a woman, no matter how he felt. He wondered how she felt for him. Maybe she felt the same. He would have to ask on his next visit.
