Author's Note: I do really apologize for the EXTRA long wait; this stupid writer's block is worse than anything else in the world.
I love everyone's reviews. Thank you all so much for the support. :)
But there is no one that I want to thank more than MysticWriterGoddness. She was willing to help me and (Tada) without even me asking, practically wrote the whole chapter for me. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I did change some things (phrases, separating paragraphs, and using different words, commas, semicolons, I may have deleted a paragraph) but what you did for me was more than I asked for! Thank you so much! Everyone! Love her not me! LOL :P
Previously: She looked up in Elijah's eyes. "Yes I do."
Elijah pulled away from her; he wanted to be sure that he'd heard her correctly.
Did she just say that she loves me? he said to himself. He wasn't sure if she was just saying this just to please him, or if she genuinely did love him. "Say it again."
"Wh-wh-what?" stammered Elena, giving him a confused look.
"Say that you love me," he said, as he saw tears starting to form in her eyes.
"I love you Elijah," Elena said sincerely as beautiful tears of happiness streamed down her face. Before she could say anything else, Elijah held her face in his hands and kissed her hard on the lips. Pretty soon they were back to their previous passion-filled makeout session.
Upstairs in his room, Klaus stood by the window as he drank from a goblet of wine. A sly smile came to his face as he went over the day's events. He had Elena is his possession, the Salvatore brothers under his control, and Elijah safe in his dungeon with the dagger in his heart. He looked towards the bed, watching Annabeth sleeping soundly.
Too bad when all of this is over, she'll be nothing but a pile of dust. He knew that after the whole sacrifice was over, he would no longer have a need for her. He looked back towards the window, and looked into the night. Things were going according to plan. Pretty soon he'd be more powerful than ever.
"Should we be really doing this?" asked Stefan as he and his brother descended the stairs to the dungeon.
"Aren't you the least bit curious at what they're doing down there?" said Damon with a smirk on his face.
"Why is it of any concern to us?" wondered Stefan. "Unless you think Klaus would want to know?"
"You know that he compelled us to watch over them, and we better make sure that nothing is going on that could give him reason to dispose of us."
"I hope you're right," Stefan replied with a sigh as they reached the bottom of the stairs and walked towards the dungeon entrance.
He stopped in shock at the scene in front of him. "Wow...I did not expect to see that," said Damon with an amazed but perplexed look on his face.
"Neither did I."
Elena woke the next morning on the dungeon floor with her back against the cold bars of her cell and Elijah's arm draped across her waist. She slowly tried to lift his arm off of her and get up, but didn't get far when Elijah suddenly woke up. He too was amazed at the position they ended up in. They both stretched out their bodies, when they heard footsteps approaching. They immediately separated and tried to make themselves look presentable—or at least decent.
"It's no use trying to do that," said a familiar voice as the Salvatore brothers approach them. "We saw everything by the way," said Damon with his signature smirk on his face.
"Please don't tell..." Elena pleaded.
"We wouldn't say anything to Klaus..." said Stefan with hurt in his eyes.
"I know they won't say anything to him unless they wanted to die at his hand," Elijah explained to her.
"He would do that?" said Elena with fear in her voice.
"Trust me, he's capable of anything," Elijah replied. "From what I've witnessed over the years, he takes great pleasure in torturing his own kind, enough to the point where his victims wish they were better of dead—or in the hands of me."
"It may be hard for us to forget all of this and not tell him," said Stefan with regret.
"What do you mean?" Elena asked, confused.
"We've been compelled to watch over you two and report back to Klaus anything we find."
"No Stefan, you can't!" Elena objected with tears in her eyes as she saw Damon slowly back away. "Please Damon, I'm begging you; don't do this!"
"I'm sorry but I have no choice," Damon said as he sped away.
"Please Stefan, stop him," Elena pleaded.
Stefan sighed, but agreed. "I'll try my best." He sped away.
"I do hope they can somehow stop themselves from saying anything, or else we're in big trouble," Elena said as she curled up beside the bars separating them.
"I do hope you're right," said Elijah as she saw the worried look on her face, and held her hand as he tried to comfort her.
MysticWriterGoddness had added a couple more scenes that I hadn't expected (the Salvatore brothers) But I loved them so I kept them. :)
Thank you all for reading! Please show your appreciation by reviewing below.
