Elena got tired of being in her room so she came down stairs. She ran into her Aunt Jenna who handed her a box. She took and when Jenna moved Elijah was behind her. He came up to her and looked smug. "Hi, I'm Elijah" he had gotten close to Jenna and knew that tonight he couldn't see Elena because of it. He took the box from Elena and followed Jenna out to her car. He could here Elena race upstairs. He moved fast and met her at the top of the stairs.
"I would keep quiet if I were you" he said. Elena gasped and agreed. "Now let's go help Jenna." After they were done loading up the boxes he looked at Elena.
Elijah – "We should talk"
Elena "Yes, about why you are here"
Elijah – "I'm here to see how you are"
Elena – "Why did you kill those vampires… the ones who were going to take me?"
Elijah – "I didn't want them to take you"
Elena – "Don't tell me you actually want me safe"
Elijah – "If word gets out that you exist… well there would be a long list of people trying to take you"
Elena – "And that would be bad news for you because you want to be the one to take me… to deliver me to Klaus. Am I right?"
Elijah – "Why would it be so hard to believe that I would want you safe?"
Elena – "Because…"
Elijah cut her off and said "And don't say it's because I'm an Original"
Elena – "Okay, fine how about because if you did try to keep me safe you would be betraying family"
Elijah paused a moment before answering. He wondered why it was so much harder for her to connect with him now then when he visited her in her room.
Elijah – "I do want you safe. I don't want Klaus or anyone to break this curse"
Elena – "So how am I supposed to trust you?"
Elijah – "Well… tell me what sort of things you have heard about me"
Elena – "I've heard you are careful, and that you can be violent when you want and I have seen that first hand."
Elijah took a few steps closer to her. "Go on"
Elena continued "I've heard you only trust those in your 'circle'"
Elijah took another step and he was directly in front of her "Not anymore" Elena's eyes brightened when she realized what he was saying "You trust me?"
Elijah – "Well not yet, but beginning to. That is if you follow my deal."
Elena – "What deal?"
Elijah – "Stop trying to get yourself killed"
Elena – "You're asking me to stop fighting."
Elijah – "No, I'm asking you to stay alive" He was to tempted to kiss her so after he said that he moved away from her.
When Elena didn't reply he said "I'll keep everyone you know safe, you have my word." Elena got this look in her eye and he knew she was going to ask for more. "You have to free Stefan" once she explained to him he agreed. He went to the tomb and let Stefan free. Katherine on the other hand would have to remain in there.
Stefan went to go see Elena. She jumped up and was about to kiss him. Before she did he looked her and said I have to tell you something. "You kissed her didn't you?" he slowly nodded his head… he looked even more upset. Elena backed away from him and said "It was more than a kiss wasn't it. You had sex with her" he nodded and began "I'm so sorry Elena I…" Elena shook her head. "Get out, we are done." She blinked and he was gone.
