Chapter 30
Elena looked outside the circle looking for some sign that they were there. Elena moved to a kneeing position as Anna began to chant. The flames around the fire grew brighter with every word she chanted. Elena could feel her skin starting to prick with the magic around her. She was beginning to feel dizzy when she heard screaming. Elena looked on as she saw flashes in the dark moving so quickly her eyes only caught brief glances. She then saw a light moving towards the circle. Bonnie and Natasha were chanting against Anna. Anna focused harder as Elena felt her insides being twisted in different directions. She moaned against the pain but tried to stay focused on the one thing she wanted more than anything in the world Elijah. Elena swayed as another wave of magic hit her. Suddenly she found herself being lifted off her feet and moving towards Alexander. She then heard Esther's words echo in her ear. She froze and fought against the urge to go to Alexander. Another wave of magic hit her again and she stumbled one step to him.
"No" Elena cried out and forced herself back from him.
"Elena" she heard someone call.
She snapped her head up and saw Elijah with Klaus standing beside him. Elijah's face was covered in blood but he held her gaze.
"Bonnie hurry" Elijah called to her.
Suddenly as the words left his mouth Alexander moved with speed and moved behind Elena grabbing her neck into his hands pulling her head to the side as his face changed. Elijah watched as Alexander bit into Elena's neck causing her to cry out in pain. Elijah screamed and fought against the barrier. Alexander drank deeply and Elena grew weaker. Suddenly the barrier was down and Elijah moved quickly ripping Alexander away from Elena. Klaus moved with speed at Alexander kicking him back into the circle as Elijah pulled an unconscious Elena out of the circle. Bonnie began to chant again sealing Klaus and Alexander inside the circle as Natasha moved to battle Anna outside the circle. Alexander stumbled to his feet and growled as he made his way out of the circle only to be kicked back in.
"What have you done?" he growled at Klaus.
"I am here to end you chap" he grinned.
"I seriously doubt it" Alexander said tossing his jacket aside.
"Oh I am certain" Klaus growled out and flew at him.
Alexander and Klaus collided midair as they began the final battle. Bonnie stayed constant as she held the barrier in place. Klaus matched Alexander hit for hit. The battle seemed to be moving so quickly when all of a sudden Katharine, Damon, Stefan, Kol, Rebecca, Caroline, and Tyler moved to the outside of the circle as the battle neared an end. Damon moved to the now weak witch Anna and snapped her neck. Once she was dead Damon moved to Natasha and picked her up into his arms. He didn't care for witches but Bonnie was a friend to Elena and Natasha was Bonnie's family and he felt like being charitable. Damon turned his attention back to the circle and watched as Klaus took the final blow ripping Alexander's heart from his chest and tossed it into the middle of the circle. Bonnie let the guard down and set the heart to flames. Elena remained still in Elijah's arms her heart faint but beating. He quickly bit into his wrist and placed it to Elena's lips letting the blood flow into her mouth and down her throat. Suddenly for the first time in many centuries he saw his mother appear inside the circle looking at her son.
"I'm so proud of you Niklaus" she said to her son touching his cheek.
She turned her attention to her other children.
"I am proud of all of you, this will be the last time you shall see me" she said to them softly.
Kol, Rebecca, and Elijah said nothing as they looked at her. Esther moved and took Klaus by the hand.
"Are you ready?" she asked him.
Klaus took a deep breath and looked at his brothers, his sister, and the sleeping Elena. He looked at his mother and she nodded to him. Klaus moved to the sleeping Elena and reached into his pocket removing a small trinket. He placed it softly in her hand and moved back to the circle to where his mother stood.
"I am ready" he told her.
Esther nodded and took his hand into hers when they suddenly disappeared leaving nothing behind but the burning torches. Elijah let a small tear slip in thanks for his brother for saving Elena. Elijah looked around him and saw everyone was tired and covered in blood among other things. He cradled Elena in his arms and moved with speed to a waiting car. He climbed in leaving everything behind as he made his way back to her home. Once he made it to the house he moved quickly to take Elena upstairs to her room. He placed her on the bed and moved to the bathroom and grabbed a clean rag and water to clean Elena's wounds. Once Elena was clean he changed her clothes and placed her back in bed. He moved a chair and settled in to watch over her as she slept. The hours dragged on for Elijah but he never left her side. He refused to eat even though he knew it wasn't the best idea he was afraid that if he left it would be only a dream. Elena had been asleep for twelve hours until she finally stirred. Elijah was next to the bed as soon as she opened her eyes. Elena took a deep breath and moved her eyes to his.
"Elijah" Elena said his voice soft.
"Yes my love, I am here" he said taking her hand into his.
"Am I dead?" Elena asked him.
"No love" he said his voice tight.
"Am I dreaming?" she asked him moving to a sitting position.
"No my love, I'm really here. We are really here" he said touching her cheek.
Elena looked at him and placed her hand to his cheek softly. Elijah met her eyes and lowered his lips to Elena's. Elena wrapped her arms around him pulling him closer sealing their lips together not wanting to end their touch to each other. After a breathless moment Elijah rested his head against Elena's.
"Is it over?" Elena asked him once her breathing slowed.
"Yes, it's over" Elijah said to her.
Elena lifted her eyes to Elijah and he moved to reach inside his pants pocket. He carefully removed a small object and took Elena's hand and opened it placing the small object inside her palm.
"What is this?" Elena asked looking at the small key.
"I don't know, Niklaus left it for you" Elijah said to her.
Elena didn't have to ask Elijah what happened to Klaus. In a way she already knew. She crawled into Elijah's arms and looked down at the small key in her hand. She has no idea what the key went too but she knew whatever it was that she and Elijah would figure it out together.
