Author's Note: OMG OMG thank you so much for the overwhelming amount of reviews. I guess a lot of people like Elijah. :)

People I couldn't reply to:

avidwriter1010: well, here's the next chapter! It'll pretty much resolve your confusion...

Elena Winchester {anonymous} : there's plenty more drama coming up :)

I'm really sorry the chapters are short, but they will eventually get longer. Starting around the next chapter. :)

Disclaimer: I do not own the Vampire Diaries...and so on...

Previously: He walked on. Elena trudged along tiredly behind him.

Just like Elijah had suspected, Elena started to get drowsy during the walk back. Just like he had planned, she had ended up falling asleep—unwillingly probably, especially the fact that she'd end up alone with him—and this resulted in Elijah carrying her.

The minute she'd fallen asleep, Elijah took out his cell phone and dialed a familiar number. Drew was an old vampire friend of his, who was also useful sometimes too. He was one of the only people Elijah could trust; one of the only ones that wouldn't give away his position to the Originals, anyway.

"Hello Elijah?" a groggy voice answered.

Elijah wasn't up for greetings. "I need you to come here and drive me to the nearest hotel. It has to be a least four stars; I have a guest with me."

"Where are you?" Drew asked.

Elijah looked around. "Some old woods by Eden, I think."

There was a pause. "All right, I'm coming."

There was another pause. "Wait, who's your 'guest?'"

"You'll see," Elijah answered before hanging up the phone.

He rested on a rock nearby. Elijah knew it would be a matter of time before Drew would be coming.

The doppelganger was curled up in his chest, snoring softly. Elijah had to admit, she was adorable in her sleep.

He was relieved that he was such a controlled person, unlike the vampire fanatics that lived in this world. Elijah would be ripping into her throat right now if he really was one of Klaus's loyal vampires.

Just then, a red pickup truck pulled up. Elijah stood up with Elena in his arms.

Walking over to the car, he heard Drew rambling. "Hey, Elijah where's your guest—" Drew stopped and his eyes widened when he saw Elena in Elijah's arms.

"Oh my god, is that—"

"Shhh!" Elijah hissed, not wanting to take the risk of waking the doppelganger.

Understanding flashed in Drew's eyes and he nodded.

Elijah climbed into the passenger seat of the car with Elena still in his arms.

Drew could only stare at the famous doppelganger in his arms. "How did you find her?" Drew wasn't the only vampire that knew there was only one Petrova human doppelganger in the world—the one that was sleeping right in front of him.

"Connections," Elijah answered impatiently, "can we move on now?"

"Oh right." Drew started up the car. Soon, they were out of the woods.

"I know I'm probably going to regret asking this," Drew started, "but why didn't you just use your inhumane speed to get this doppelganger wherever you wanted? You're an Original for a reason."

"Yes," Elijah answered, "but I had hiked with her just to get her tired. To exhaust her out. If you'd seen this girl's restraint and resistance, you'd know why I did it. This doppelganger has the Petrova fire."

Drew nodded. "I get that. What's her name?"

"Elena Gilbert." The sound of her name rang beautifully in Elijah's ears; the name itself feeling like a miracle.

Elijah and Drew were quiet for the rest of the trip.

The vampire Original settled on an Inn that seemed worthy enough for him and his doppelganger to stay at.

He thanked Drew and then carried her to the lobby, where he set Elena on a chair, and checked in with a receptionist, and picked her up again to carry her to the room.

Luckily, it was a two-bedroom hotel stay, so he carried her to the further bedroom, laying her down in the soft bed.

It was nearly midnight.

But Elijah barely had anything to do. Even after he fed, he had nothing to do but stay in the hotel and guard the doppelganger.

But he didn't think he minded that at all.

Please review! I'd love to get the same amount as last time!

Feel free to leave questions! I'm happy to clear up any confusions you have. I'll either reply to your review or answer your question in my author's note in the next chapter. :)

{The day after}

Okay, I just got rejected by some guy I asked out. I'm like crying my eyes out now. I'm glad I wrote this chapter before my heartbroken mood, or else this would be a very disappointing chapter. Please review to cheer me up of my depressing state.
