I am going to start this chapter by saying...

I am so sorry! Its been like over a week since I last updated? I have just been so busy with skool and stuff that I just haven't had time to write this chapter. Also I have been thinking about where I want this story to go and stuff.

If you have any suggestions or really want something to happen during this story feel free to tell me in your reviews and I will think about using your ideas.

Okay I done, on with the chapter...Hope ya like it...

Stefan POV

"Elena, wake up baby." I coaxed while she moved onto her stomach and hid her face in the pillow.

As I sat down on the bed I heard a muffled giggle.

"Fine then, have it your way!" I threatened. I quickly moved my hands to her hips and started to tickle her.

"Ahh! Stefan..ple-ase sto..p!" She laughed.I thought over it for awhile and decided to stop my tickle attack. So I abruptly stopped and turned her over so she was facing me.

"Okay. I just wanted to tell you that I am going out for a while and I didn't want you to wake up on your own." I told her as she began to pout.

"So you're decided to say goodbye this time around, did you?" She hissed. She then jumped out of the bed and ran over to bathroom, closely the door behind her. I got up and walked over to the door and grabbed the door handle, only to find she had locked the door behind her.

"Elena, come on, let me in." I said.

"Why do have to leave again? I only just got you back," I heard her question.

"I am not going anywhere, baby." I told her through the door.

After a few seconds, which felt like forever, she unlocked the the door and jumped into my arms. I hugged her back just as hard while she was wiping her tears.

"I'm sorry. I just, I couldn't handle losing you again." She sniffed.

"You won't. I am just going out hunting but not in Mystic Falls, the council has become a lot more aware of everything and I don't even know if the woods will be safe." I explained. I hate lying to her but it safer if no one knows where I am going.

"Okay, " She said while rubbing the last of her tears off her face.

"I will be about an hour and a half. Two hours tops, so why don't you take a long bath and get ready because when I get back I will take you out foe a meal. Sound good?" I asked as a placed a soft kiss on her nose.

"Sounds amazing. " She decided, smiling. She slowly lent up and placed a long kiss on my lips.

After a few minutes she broke the kiss, much to my disappointment.

"Right, I am going to take a bath. Don't be long, I will miss ya!" She said while blowing me a kiss and walking back into the bathroom.

"I will miss you too, baby." I said as I walked out of my door and raced out of the house...

I tread quietly through the empty hallway. I began to question whether this really was a good idea, it could bring more danger than life-saving, but I couldn't back out now everyone needs to be protected and this is one of the only ways how.

I need to protect Elena, even though she doesn't know the whole truth about everything, the thing I am hiding from her could hurt her. Will hurt her.

I finally arrived at my destination. I looked around, it didn't look any different from when I was last here. It looked abandoned, untouched and...lonely.

I saw four of them, but which one was the one I was looking for?

Then my gaze fell onto the bottom box, on the right. I read the writing on top of the casket:

Elijah, you were so stupid as to care for a human,

Now look where it's got you.

May you rest in a place with no love.

K.

Elena POV

I quickly got dressed and realized that I had about an hour til Stefan would return, so I decided to go downstairs and talk to Bonnie and Care.

I skipped joyfully down the stairs and headed towards the living room where I assumed they would be, probably watching TV.

I was about to shout to them as I walked through the door, but the room was empty. I turned around and headed towards the guest room that they were staying in.

Only to find it empty aswell, weird.

I headed back towards the front door, where the phone was. I was about to dial Bonnie's mobile when I heard a load smash from the library.

Great, they are probably snooping. Damon is gonna kill them if they break any of his glasses or bottles of drink.

I ran towards the doorway of the library while shouting,"Bonnie, Care you better not have broke any of Damon's bottles of whiskey or any other bottles, you know how twitchy he gets if he has no alcohol!"

It was a few seconds before I got a reply, by that time i was standing at the door about look into the library.

"Actually I do Elena. Surprisingly enough he never used to drink in 1864, I guess drunk Damon came with being a vampire." A cocky voice answered.

I spun around quickly, only to see my nightmare staring back at me.

"Katherine." I spat. Is it me, or is that name being used way to much lately?

Stefan POV

I waited for at least two hours, not sure if I was more scared or pleased that we finally might have a way to kill Klaus.

Suddenly I was broke out my thought by the sputtering coming from the dead looking body of Elijah. I threw a blood bad over into the ruby red lined coffin and waited.

Two minutes later Elijah jumped out of the coffin and just stood there, glaring at me. I am defiantly more scared than pleased.

After a few minutes Elijah broke the silence, "So. Stefan what can I do for you today?" he asked as he started pacing around the room.

"I, well, we need your help." I said cautiously.

"And why would you need my help?" Elijah questioned while straightening out his suit jacket and looking a little disappointed by the huge hole where his heart was.

"Klaus is back." I simply stated, trying to read his face.

"Right." He responded.

"I know you have no reason to trust me but I also have no reason to trust you. But I need your help." I half pleaded, half tried to sound firm.

"I will help, my brother needs to die but how are you thinking of doing it. I am not very familiar of the goings on in the last," he looked at his watch, " two months, three days and four hours." He said.

"Its a long story but all you need to know is that I have a plan..."

I walked through the front door of the boarding house after discussing with Elijah how he is going to help us defeat Klaus.

The first thing I saw was Elena stood in the hallway with tear stains down her face. I was about to run over to her when suddenly she ran away and Katherine appeared infront of me.

"What did you do, Katherine?" I growled, grabbed her arms.

"Oh just told her some home truths." Katherine smirked.

"About?" I could faintly hear Elena crying from upstairs.

"Bex." Katherine grinned then disappeared.

Oh. Shit.

Again soo sorry for the long wait-hope you enjoyed this chapter! I love having Kat and Elijah back and hope to write in their POV's in the story later on. If you didn't know Bex is a new charcter that will be in S3 and is Stefans ex.

Hope your liking the story so far,

PLEASE R+R! :D
