It wasn't until her horse came closer to the cottage did the new born vampire realize something was wrong. She caught the scent of blood almost too fast, but her face did not change because she oddly remembered the scent of lilies. Her mother's lilies. She jumped off the horse and picked up her skirt before she ran to the cottage. She was greeted by dead bodies. Her aunts, uncles, cousins and even her brother. What she found in her bedroom would leave her with nightmares for the rest of her life. Her father pinned to the wall impaled with his own sword. The handmaiden was sprawled over the floor. Her dear older sister propped up against the bed post. Then her brown eyes saw her mother bleeding from the neck staining the white sheets of the bed.

"No no no." She cried out as she ran to the bed and pulled up her mother. "No mama. No no." The tears ran down her red stained cheeks as she held onto her mother. She was the one person in Elena's life that Elena trusted and that always tried her hardest to protect Elena. Elena knew Klaus was a murderer, but how could he do something so cruel to her. She knew she had left him after they both declared their love to one another, but for him to do something this cruel, he was a monster. "I am so sorry mama." She whispered in Bulgarian go her mother. "The monster will pay for what he did." She gently kissed her mother's head before leaving the cottage. A small happiness lingered inside of her just thinking her daughter was out there safe and didn't get killed by the monster she loved.

Elena got back on horse and rode him into town to gather some new clothes and supply to leave the country. From there she would take several carriages to Italy where she would live out for five years of her immortal life having the status she always believed she was always meant to have. That was until Elijah found her. Her immediate thought was to run, but Elijah stopped her before she could run out on the ball. They shared a dance and then her bed later on that night.

"He killed them." She spoke softly as Elijah was tracing his fingers along her back.

"I am sorry for not stopping him." He apologized to her.

"I want him dead." She exclaimed as she turned her head to look at the man she was also in love with.

"That is just the anger. Don't become like him. That is how he wins Elena. Don't let him." He explained to her using a gentle but strict voice. Just simply trying to get his point across to her without treating her like a child. Then he leaned his head down kissing her sweet lips once more.

Elena pulled Elijah right back on top of her for another time that night. Her hands went through his hair while they were sharing a passionate kiss before Elijah had started to kiss down her neck. The small soft kisses got the Petrova moaning in pleasure. Klaus had always been an animal in bed. Wanting to be rough and hard with Elena. Which she didn't mind until the next morning when she woke up with bruises on her body and on her neck. He had called them love bites or sometimes the wages of a passionate war. Never actually saying what they were which was he let his vampire side get the best of him and forgot she was just a mortal. Elijah on the other hand was soft, slow, passionate as well. Just like her first time, except Elijah had a girth to be proud of and the stamina to match hers. After the love making they could just spend time talking, holding one another, or even just both lay in silence while one traced their fingers along the other one's body just because they wanted to.

…

My eyes shot open and I sat up in my bed. I knew Elijah was awake so that meant I had just shared that dream with Klaus of all people. I had to see him at night. Finally put an end to these dreams and for him being in my life. I hadn't seen or spoken with Caroline and him since I walked in on them that day. Lenore warned me about moving out, but I just couldn't leave with that man. He probably had been sleeping with her for a long time. Or that was Tyler's theory at least who left town with some werewolf named Hayley after I shared the news of the people we loved betrayal. I couldn't stay where either of them could have easily found me so I moved into my cabin. Elijah came to find me the same day I had moved into it. He wanted to apologize on Klaus's behalf but I stopped him. So instead he asked if I would like any company. Since then he had been living with me. I think it was to prevent Klaus from trying to speak with me.

"You should try going to school today." Elijah said as he leaned against the doorway. "You can't just keep hiding."

"I've gone to school." I replied.

"Yes but you always…I think the term is ditch your morning and last class because of the Forbes girl." He smirked, he actually smirked at me.

"Fine I will go. Now get out and make me some coffee and toast." I laughed as I threw my Teddy bear at him before he left my room. I got out of my bed only to turn around and throw the covers back over it to do a quick job of making the bed. Then I ran off to the bathroom to take a quick shower to help wake me up.

By the time I came downstairs, I was dressed, hair was dried and slightly curly and my make up was done lightly. Oh and teeth brushed as well. Elijah seemed to fine my attire funny. Claiming I only wore converses and skinny jeans like he did every morning I had came downstairs since we had started living together.

"Trying to save yourself from another comment?" Elijah asked when he saw my outfit. Today I was wearing an off light tan crochet long vest to go with my spaghetti strap light Robin blue short dress with four buttons going down the space between my breasts. On my feet were a pair of light tan ankle boots with a two-inch heel.

"That and I promised Bonnie I would stop wearing dark colors." I smirked while pouring myself a cup of the coffee Elijah had made for the both of us. "Have any plans?"

"I have to deal with that who shall not be named." A little inside joke between the older Mikaelson and I. "That means I won't be seeing you until tonight."

"Before or after?"

"Both. But I not during. Lenore says that is for only you two." He said, as I was joining him at the table with the plate of toast I found waiting for me at the counter along with a blood bag. Being the odd vampire I am not, I took the blood bag and poured it into my coffee. I hated just drinking from the blood bag, so I only did it when I was very hungry. "You look like you are going to be sick."

"I have to let the man I thought I loved fuck me just to get the dreams to stop. You tell me you wouldn't be feeling the same way if this was happening to you." I mentioned before taking a sip of the coffee in my mug.

"I would be, but just remember after this you won't be having to deal with these dreams."

"I wish I had listened to your warning. Would have saved me a lot of pain and betrayal." Elijah reached out and grabbed my hand. Our eyes locked up on one another.

"I do to Elena."

…

At school, I ignored Caroline even though she tried very hard to get me to talk to her, but it wasn't happening. During lunch, I had gone outside with Matt to eat lunch together. To my surprise Stefan came to join us. We didn't talk about Klaus or anything related to it, instead the three of us discussed school subjects until Bonnie joined us then soon Jeremy. I noticed lately Caroline had been spending time with Kol and Rebekah. Kol the other day said it was because Caroline was trying to get close to them because she thought Klaus would like her more. Apparently Klaus had started ignoring her since I walked in on them as well. They could be together for all I care.

"So Halloween party coming up." Bonnie decided to bring up after Stefan and Matt were done arguing over some football game from before Matt was even born.

"Sounds like fun. Are you two actually going to get new costumes?" Jeremy asked Matt and I.

"Considering I have real blood on my nurse, I am going to say yes. Want to go shopping together Bonnie?" I asked her.

Bonnie was opening her mouth before someone else spoke. "I was just talking to Rebekah about going shopping. Maybe we all get costumes together." Caroline chirped in as she pushed herself between Matt and Stefan causing Matt to come sit by me.

"I don't know." Bonnie mumbled since I was staying quiet. I was trying to think of a way to get away. I know it was childish, but Caroline had betrayed me. I even had prior told Caroline that I might be having feelings for Klaus and she goes and does that to me.

"Oh come on it would be like it used to be. Just with Rebekah." Caroline said. "I really want to make up for this silly little fight."

"Silly little fight?" I glared at her after I spoke. "This isn't like you ruined my favorite shirt, you had sex with someone I was falling for, and you knew I was." I snapped at her before I grabbed my bag and stormed off to where I used to go when I wanted to be alone. She really knew how to push my buttons. And I call her my friend.

Once I got to the empty loading dock parking lot, I sat up on the side walk that was about three- four feet off the ground. I used to come here with Matt when we just wanted to be alone to talk. So it was no surprise that Matt had found me so easily.

"So." Matt said.

"So." I mocked him a little.

"Quiet?" He asked before I nodded my head. That is just what we did, neither of us spoke or did anything, we just sat with each other.

…

Lenore had sent a text to my phone just as school was over. I was walking out to my car reading it when I realized Klaus was leaning on my car with his arms crossed over his chest and anger in his eyes. I place my phone in my bag while I walked up to him. His expression wasn't changing. His jaw was clenched and his eyes were going to gold to their usual hue and back to gold. Something really had the hybrid pissed off enough to come to my school when he knew I hated him.

"Are you two screwing?" He asked just being blunt about something I didn't even know why he was asking about.

"Who?" I just replied not giving him the answer he was wanting.

"Elijah. Are you to screwing?" He asked again.

"God no. We are friends Klaus. Even if we were, it is none of your business." I said as I pushed him out of my way and opened my back door to throw my bag in the back.

"Didn't seem that way in the dream because I know for a fact Elijah never went to Italy until after New Orleans." He explained to me. "Now be honest with me."

"I am being honest, last person I had sex was Stefan and that was before you took him away. I haven't been sleeping with anyone since then." I snapped at him. "I was always honest with you. You on the other hand are a lying son of a bitch, and considering I met your mom, that statement is true." Klaus grabbed my neck and pinned me to my own car. I struggled against his grip until he released me, but I kept my back against the car. "How long have you two been "screwing"?"

"For a while, but since this whole thing came up, it has been sort of a weekly activity." He admitted to me.

"So when you were saying you love me, that you do wish we could be our dream selves, you were having sex with my best friend. God you are messed up Klaus. I hate you just so we are clear. I can't wait for these dreams to be over because it means I never have to see you again." I snapped at him as I jabbed my finger against his chest. "You are a terrible person, a monster. I hate you Klaus Mikaelson. You have ruined my life and broken my heart." I got out from between him and my car only to get into my car on the driver side.

Once in, I drove to the Mikaelson mansion because Lenore had wanted me there to go over some things for the night. It was a short drive to the mansion from the school, but I was dreading going. I just wanted to be done with this all.

When I got there, the doors were busted open from the inside nearly broken in half and off the hinges. The inside was worse. Broken frames, vases, furniture and wood all around the floor. I could hear Rebekah venting to Kol upstairs while I saw Elijah in a torn up suit with a bite mark on his shoulder.

"What happened here?" I asked Elijah as I was walking over to him.

"My brother is truly possessive over you Elena." Elijah started out. "He didn't like when I shared with him who I had been living with. This is the fall out of our fight." I walked over to him go to look at the bite mark. "Can't die from it, but I get to go through all the symptoms. " He told me when he saw the panic in my eyes. Even after he explained the marks, the panic had not left my eyes. I had witnessed the symptoms twice; one from Rose and the other from Damon. It wasn't going to pleasant and I knew he would soon confuse me for one of my doppelgangers just like Damon and Rose had done before. "Unless my brother wants to share his blood." I turned my head back to see what Elijah was looking at, Klaus.

"Oh Elijah, you do know how I hate sharing." Klaus spoke from the door way with a smirk on his lips and anger in his eyes. "Where are the witches?"

We both ignored him and I followed Elijah to his bedroom helping him into bed with some help with Rebekah. For once we were on the same page, worrying about Elijah. Rebekah instructed me to leave her and lock the doors. She would handle anything that Elijah was about to go through. So I left him in Rebekah's car, locking the door from the outside like Rebekah told me to do. Klaus was waiting for me outside the bedroom.

"He'll live." I raised my hand and slapped Klaus across the face. "Bloody hell Elena. He will be fine."

"That is for you doing that to your brother and for treating me like some possession of yours. You had me Klaus. I was already falling in love with you, and you were sleeping my best friend like it was no big deal. Elijah is just a friend and he is your brother yet you treat him like a enemy instead of family. I don't know he has put up with you so long." I snapped at him.

"Elena you are starting to cross a line." He warned me with a growl.

"Maybe it is my only way to get my point across."

"Stop. It is close to the time and we need to prepare you for it. Elena go with Celeste, hybrid follow me." Lenore broke up our fighting like she was our parent. Klaus and I glared at each other before following our separate witches to separate rooms. I wanted this done as fast as possible. To go on with my own life, a life away from Klaus. Anything was better than having to deal with him all the time. Having him in my life just to break it and tear it apart like he had been since the moment he came into my life.

…

Celeste was putting some weird clear liquid on my body, using it to make certain markings on my arms, legs, chest, and forehead. She did this until she saw the full moon was out. Then produced a vile from her bag filled with black goo nearly a dark scarlet color if I looked at it hard enough. "Drink this." She told me.

"What is it?" I asked her while opening the vile.

"A potion." She was vague on the details of it, but I still threw it back just hopping it didn't taste like it looked smelled. Sadly, it did. Agh! I can't believe I drank it. After she watch me take the last drop, she took me to Klaus's room to face my fate.

When we came into the room, Lenore was finishing up with Klaus. At the time she was just talking with him giving him some words before it happened. I wondered if she was giving him some sex advice on what he was suppose do other than switching blood and other liquids. Thank god I couldn't get pregnant. Lenore looked at Klaus and gave him a look before she looked at me with smile.

"We will give you some privacy now. You can go when you are done Elena." Lenore informed me before she left with Celeste, closing the doors on the way out.

"Ready?" Klaus asked.

Next chapter will feature the deal, a time jump and surprise.
