I've never written for Elena or Elijah before so very nervous, feel free to tell me what I did wrong and right. I'm more of an Elijah/Katherine fan after seeing the look on his face the first time he saw Elena, I nearly died. The he decapitated Trevor with a bitch-slap and I fell in love. This is after the fantastic season 3 final.

Memories, sharp as daggers
Pierce into the flesh of today

Elena closed her eyes tightly while finishing her third blood bag in one sitting. She took several deep breaths, waiting for the prominent veins beneath her eyes to disappear. Her new fang retracted and she sighed in relief, her face was becoming easier to control at last.

She'd made the choice to transition so that Jeremy wouldn't be alone, now that Alaric was permanently, properly dead he had no-one else left. At least now he wouldn't have to lose her the way they lost their parents. She felt guilty every night as Jeremy slept in the other room, she could hear his heartbeat and it made her…hungry. Admitting that fact made her feel like the monster Bonnie saw her as.

She buried her face in the pillow; she was a vampire, not a monster. Caroline wasn't a monster and neither was Stefan, Damon was questionable but that hadn't stopped him saving her life more than once. Tears stung at her eyes, all her emotions were stronger now as she'd known they would be, anger became rage and grief became unbearable. Loneliness was a fatal disease.

Her memories were more vivid too. The grief of losing her parents, Aunt Jenna, even Uncle/Dad John it was all fresh in her mind as though she'd just witnessed it all for the first time. The rage she felt at both brothers was like acid in her veins, she couldn't even look at them.

Stefan who she'd loved so much and Damon, the man she'd watch turn from a soulless demon into a good person, a person she'd let into her heart. Both of their faces only brought her pain and fury. And missing them made her heart feel like a jagged shard of ice, despite the fact it continued to beat.

Suicide of love took away all that matters
And buried the remains in an unmarked grave in your heart

She was alone because she'd told them to leave, unable to choose either of them she couldn't tolerate their constant hovering around her. When she snapped and screamed at them to leave her alone they'd protested, of course; any day now Klaus could come to take his revenge for having his supply of doppelganger blood being taken away. If he decided he wanted revenge he'd rain blood down upon Mystic Falls the streets would run red with the blood of her loved ones and nothing any of them could do would be able to stop the blood-shed.

Their only valid argument was that she had to learn to control her new hunger; but she'd chosen an excellent teacher in Caroline. Perhaps the most innocent victim of the war they'd lived through.

She'd told them to leave. She loved them both but couldn't stand to look at them and all the emotions that exploded within her when they tried to comfort her. It was the right choice; in the end she was sure she'd be happier starting fresh. She held the memories buried deep inside her heart in the hopes that one day she'd be able to look back on the last years of her life with happiness not horror.

Right now she couldn't even look at the photos she'd kept.

With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness

She sat bolt upright when a cold breeze flitted over her face. Jeremy's heartbeat was the same, he was safe. But the hairs on the back of her neck continued trembling and her muscles tensed as the sense of danger filled the air, it pressed against her skin thick and putrid.

She knew there were eyes on her. Something powerful was in her home, the home she'd had to be invited into. A dark figure stepped out of the corner of her room, she leapt from the bed and pinned him to the wall with a snarl, fangs bared. "Elijah?" She gasped, releasing her grip on his shoulders. His soft hands remained on her upper arms, his grip firm but gentle.

"I apologise for startling you Elena." He said softly, barely inches between their faces. "Now that Bonnie has returned my brother to his own body my siblings and I are leaving tomorrow."

"Is Tyler okay?" Elena asked automatically.

Elijah's pause told her everything. "I'm sorry, Elena. He would've died anyway if Alaric had succeeded in killing Klaus. At least this way his death allowed his friends to live."

Elena stepped back. "Thank you for explaining why my friend's death is a good thing." She hissed bitterly.

"My family and I have caused too much pain to you and your friends, I cannot take that back as much as I would like to. But I also cannot leave without apologising especially to you." Elena was still furious as his justification of Tyler's death despite this tragedy not being the fault of him or his family. She swallowed thickly as her body betrayed her by responding to the gentle stroking of his fingers. She dropped her gaze, the intensity of his eyes left her dry mouthed and wanting.

"You're not wearing a tie." She blurted stupidly, as her eyes focused on the exposed skin at his collar, a hint at the firmness of his chest. "I've never seen you without a tie." She would've realised how stupid she sounded if she hadn't met his eyes again and forgotten everything else.

He gave a small smile at the irrelevance of her comments. His eyes burned into her chocolate orbs, begging for her forgiveness. "I am truly sorry for the pain you have been caused, Elena. I don't expect you to forgive me but an eternity is a very long time; perhaps in a few millenniums you will no longer hate me." He released her arms, reluctant to leave now, knowing he might not see her again.

"I could never hate you Elijah." She whispered quietly. The silence stretched between them, a delicate link holding them together. Elena's emotions pushed her into what she'd known was coming from the second he'd seen her. She shoved him back against the wall, her lips crashing against his. He froze momentarily in shock, but in less than a second he responded with equal passion.

With the warmth of your arms you saved me,
Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you

She clawed at his stylish shirt as they fell to the floor in a tangle of limbs. His noble heart told him this was wrong but knowing that by this time tomorrow he'd be on the other side of the globe, coupled with the loss of his older brother let him continue, to hell with the confidence.

He pulled her closer to him as her tank top was tossed away freeing her eternally perfect breasts. His lips pressed against her racing pulse, sucking gently as she moaned, writhing beneath him.

The killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness

Elijah groaned deeply as he entered her slowly and her eyes rolled backwards. Sex with a vampire was intense compared to Matt's clumsy fumbling but just the feeling of him inside her and the sound of his pleasure caused a fire inside Elena, her body was demanding release. The desperation spreading through her bones pushed out the grief and wrath that had been eating her from the inside out. His strong body covering hers eased the crippling loneliness and she clung on to the freedom for dear life.

Nailed to the cross, together
As solitude begs us to stay

They rocked together in crashing ecstasy as the blood pounded through Elena's body, lifting her into oblivion. As the sun dawned slowly, spreading light into the room Elijah froze. He gently lifted Elena's hands before sweeping her off the floor and carrying her into the shade. "Necklace." She told him, fiddling with the dark stone around her throat.

Elena straddled Elijah taking advantage of the soft bed beneath them. She slowly sank down on him, encasing him in her warm slick heat. Her back arched as he rose to take a hardened pink nipple into his mouth. "Stay." She pleaded breathlessly. Begging him to take away the solitude she feared.

"Always." He promised the grey dawn.

Disappear in the lie forever
And denounce the power of death over our souls and secret words are said to start a war

Her long fingers twirled into his sweat drenched hair as he bit into her breast drawing blood. He cleaned the dark liquid with his tongue as the bite mark healed quickly leaving her skin creamy and flawless as it would be forever.

She screamed softly as he emptied his seed into her. She collapsed onto his torso inhaling the salty sweet smell of his sweat. She trailed her tongue lazily up his throat drawing the taste into her mouth, shivering with pleasure. Drinking in all of him before reality invaded her bliss and she had to admit he was going.

With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness

They lay in the rising light; limbs entwined, heavy with exhaustion and contentment. She looked up at his hard jaw and stubble. His eyes were closed, a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, she wondered if he was sleeping. "It takes a lot more than you think to tire out an original my dear." He smirked, opening his eyes to look at her.

"I can't move." She giggled as he rolled on top of her.

"I take that as a challenge." He growled playfully.

"Is the great brooding original playing with me?" She teased lightly. He gently nipped at her neck with blunt teeth before capturing her crimson lips in a searing kiss.

"I'm definably not letting you go now." He promised hooking his arms under her knees and wrapping her quivering legs around his waist.

"I'm tired." She moaned weakly as he ground his cock against her damp pussy. Her body bowed of the bed; she was completely exhausted but unable to resist his touch.

"Liar." He slipped into her easily, cherishing the way the sunlight flowed over her perfect face.

With the warmth of your arms you saved me,
Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you

It was approaching noon before she was able to slip into sleep. She'd been out for what felt like two seconds before she was woken by Jeremy's desperate knocking. She was still trying to sort of why she was sore and why she was naked when Elijah pulled open the door in only his slacks.

"Oh good." She heard an accented voice. Klaus. She was torn between hiding under her sheets and covering her nakedness. "Dear Jeremy simply refused to indulge my theory that you were here, no manners in this generation. I think it's time we left."

"It was my theory!" Objected a female voice. Caroline came into the room jumping onto Elena's bed. "I knew it!" She announced. "Out!" She ordered, flapping her hands at the originals. "Go on, go! And be nice to Jeremy!" She called as the door shut leaving them alone. "Elijah? Nice!" She laughed when they were alone.

"Klaus?" Elena asked, pulling on some clothes.

"I know, Bonnie hates me now. More than before but it's not like I didn't know he was in Tyler's body." Caroline picked up Elijah's shirt and tossed it out into the hall way where Klaus and Elijah bickered quietly while Jeremy looked confused.

"You knew!" Elena asked while she pulled her hair into a ponytail.

"He told me. There's only so long a man can continue refusing sex without a horny girlfriend getting very suspicious." Caroline answered brushing her hair in the mirror.

"So what happens next?" Elena asked. "Are you leaving with them?"

"No! Elena I can't leave you." Caroline responded. "At least not yet."

The killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness

"Caroline?" Called a British accent.

"Elena?" That was Jeremy.

"Play nicely, we're talking!" Caroline shouted at the closed door. "Maybe you should come with us, now you're with Elijah."

"Jeremy. And I'm not with Elijah." Elena blushed. "At least I don't think so."

"You don't know do you?" Caroline giggled. Elena hit her with a pillow. "I don't blame you Honey. I remember the loneliness and confusion. It's bad enough not being able to control your own body but then your emotions go haywire. It suck, no pun intended."

"I'm staying Niklaus and that's final." Elijah stormed into the room and would have slammed the door dramatically if Klaus hadn't followed with Jeremy trailing behind them in utter bewilderment.

"He's staying?" Caroline asked Elena. "Did he tell you?"

"Of course I did." Elijah answered.

"Okay out." Elena announced. "You stay." She told Elijah.

"What's going on?" Jeremy asked.

"Baby vampires make bad decisions." Klaus snapped. "Although my brother should know better."

"Out!" Elena said again.

"You're staying?" She asked turning to Elijah, hardly believe it was true.

"If you still want me to." She caught him in a fierce kiss.

"Stay." She confirmed as they fell back on the bed. Things were getting heated when Caroline began knocking on the door.

"Stop that right now."

Killing loneliness

After much debate and a vague explanation for a still confused younger Gilbert it was decided that Elijah would stay here in Mystic Falls. It looked as though there would have been more conflict had Elijah not suggested to Klaus that he take Caroline.

"I need to stay here and take care of Elena." Caroline stammered reluctantly. "Do you need me?" She looked to Elena.

"I will take care of Elena, go." Elijah urged.

"Just go Caroline!" Elena laughed seeing how desperate she was.

"I love you! Bye." Caroline hugged Elena before running out of the house. "I have to pack."

"Goodbye brother." Klaus shook Elijah's hand before leaving. "Come visit, we're heading to England for a while." He directed the last comment at them both.

"Guess he's decided not to kill me." Elena said once they were left alone, Jeremy had gone to the grill to avoid the vampire soap opera unfolding in his living rom.

"He'd going to England to find Rebekah and apologize for threatening to kill her." Elijah explained.

"I can't believe Caroline's leaving town." She said falling onto the sofa beside Elijah. His arms were around her in an instant.

"She's lonely too." He said softly.

"I'm glad she's happy. No-one should be lonely." Elena nodded leaning on Elijah's chest. "And I'm glad you're here."

"I love you." The cold pain in her chest melted and the summer sun soaked into her body, she felt like a teenage girl for the first time in months.

"I love you too."

With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness
With the warmth of your arms you saved me

I had to give them a happy ending! He looks so good in a suit and their children would have fantastic flippy hair. I'm iffy on the ending but I don't quite know what's wrong with it if you know what I mean so I need help. My gorgeous boyfriend has gone and planted the idea of a fic in my head. A series of Klaus' experiences with the beautiful and iconic women in history so if I stop updating it's because of that but I will finish this.

Reviews are nice and I will return when possible.
