I hadn't planned on making this chapter very long actually but its 9 pages so very proud over here. I need to take a moment to dedicate this chapter to my reviewers to: Dan, , and if I didn't mention your name i am sorry but I do love you all and thank you for the reviews. Hope you like Elijah's point of view.i hadn't planned on making this story long at all but the new episodes have got me pumped and ready !

It seemed like hours that we had laid there, the sun was beginning to rise from the east and soon the town would be buzzing with life, or should he say humans.

"hmm.." I glanced down to watch as the woman beside me slept peacefully, without a care in the world. It always seemed so, but even I knew she was exhausted. I smirked at the thought knowing I had caused some of it.

Sylara laid with her back to me, her face buried in the pillow while her hair fanned over her shoulders. Every morning I found myself just starring down at her as she slept, watching as her shoulders rose and fell with each breath. She didn't need to breath but it always seemed easier for her to act human then vampire.

"Elijah.."

I chuckled at the sound of my name being called from her lips. Watching as the blankets moved to her hips to reveal her more.

The scars still lingered along her back, long gashes moving from her shoulder blades all the way down her spine. The scars had been there long before I had entered her life, but a part of me wondered what it would look like without them.

"take a picture.." she mumbled softly, I couldn't help but smirk. Instead I let me body lean over hers brushing her hair away before moving my lips down her back.

"stop." She growled. She hated when I did that, but I didn't care, for I was in control not her and she would soon realize that.

"sylara.." I growled pressing my self fully against her, causing a moan to escape her delectable lips. "you should really learn…" nipping softly at her neck "that I don't stop for anyone."

"ain't that the truth." She mumbled before turning around so we were completely flushed against the other. Her eyes were a darker color while her skin was now a pale white almost similar to mine.

"you know .." I watched as her eyes became playfully, her hands moved to trail over my chest slowly down my abs. "we don't have to get up."

At a time long ago I would have never remain in bed with a woman, my duty were to Klaus and my urges were to left unsatisfied at times, and yet I had wondered over this for two hundred years, why her.

I shook my head at her, knowing that neither I nor she, could remain here long, Elena need protection while I dealt with the family council.

Leaning forward I brushed my fangs against her neck remembering the spot where her pulse use to beat against.

"up" I growled, but I dared not bite. She didn't need my mark in some place visible even though the wounds would heal.

"not until you feed." She groaned letting her hands move from my waist to trace along my spine. She had fed last night while I had satisfied my other urge, but now it was my turn to feed. I had learned long ago that vampires didn't just use human blood and animal blood to sustain their thirst but also vampire blood could take the burning away if only for awhile.

"Elijah.." she moaned as I scrapped my fangs along the valley of her breast to her toned belly. Throwing the blankets aside I pulled one of her legs over my shoulder my canines nipping at the soft flesh of her inner thigh. I could feel her eyes watching me, but my thoughts abandoned as I sank my teeth into her thigh.

"ah!"

I could feel her body quiver against me as I slowly sunk my teeth deeper into her flesh. This had been my favorite spot to bite when she was human, how her pulse had quickened with each long stroke of my tongue before I sucked almost desperately at the flesh. But it was different now.

"Better?" she giggled as I licked the blood flowing down her leg. The burning in the back of my throat was lighter now, but soon I would need to feed. Unlike most vampires I could last weeks without blood, but sylara was only 200 years old so her control was not as strong.

"what's the plan today?" she asked her eyes glistening with lust letting her fingertips brush against my chin to wipe the blood away.

"to watch over Elena as you did yesterday."

"and what about you?" I could sense another question wanting to be asked, but I ignored it as I pulled away to get ready for the meeting with Jenna and possible Alaric.

"to continue my search."

The witches barrel ground was a place where all the witches in mystical falls and been killed and buried there, unfortunately none of his warlocks or witches knew of its exact location so he resulted in learning as much about the founding families in order to find the spot.

"Maybe Katherine knows where its located?" I glanced back watching as she reached for her necklace on the bed stand placing it around her before tying it properly. "I mean she did have a witch at her side, correct" sylara was watching me intently, but I was use to hiding my feature that I only watched as she continued to put the pieces together.

"so why not ask her?" sylara stood before me this time, her body bare to me completely. I was sorely tempted to have my way with her once more, but my thoughts were interrupted as she reached for my shirt that I had wore the previous night and pulled it on.

"if the founding families were aware of Katherine then they must have been aware of what Emily was so what if…"

But I silence her words, placing a soft kiss on her lips. "go an retrieve Elena."

" but Elijah…?"

Katherine was the last thing on my mind at the moment, and I did not wish for sylara to meet her. That past had died a long time ago. It wasn't until I met this woman that I learned something important.

"do as your told." I growled warningly at her small form watching as her lips parted to protest but she only nodded. I could have compelled her, but I saw no need to do so.

"get dressed." I eyed the shirt she wore before meeting her gaze seeing the pouting look she gave me. "unless you want to go out like that."

Sylara smiled before wrapping her arms around my neck. Others not even Katherine had dare touch me like this, so tenderly, so human.

"never be afraid." I growled pressing my head to her, I had always asked myself why I bothered to care for this vampire who was once human, why.

Placing a kiss on my lips she pulled away to get ready.

"I'll never be afraid."

Why her?

I watched as men and women continued to enter my home, Sarah along with her sister Ashley took there coats and hats to place them in the closet. Christopher had been placed to bed long ago, but as soon as the party cleared out a bit Sarah would send her sister to check on him.

It had been a month since my last encounter with sylara, but ever since I had discovered her secret she had refused to see me. She dared not tell her family why other then she was not feeling well and she did not wish for me to become ill. So the banquet was to get her out and for me to meet the man who had placed his hands on what was mine.

I shook my head at the sudden urge to protect this woman. But even in the back of my mind I knew I had yet to claimed her yet, but then again why would I claim such a weak woman who would let such things come to happen.

"good sir Elijah." I glanced in the direction of my name being called by Mrs. Adams along with her youngest daughter who looked to overly dressed for the evening, but my eyes searched for only one lady that night. Sarah took there coats and placed them in the closet before they moved back toward me.

"good evening lady Adams, miss Abagail." I nodded to both ladies still searching the crowd.

"sylara is coming, her father and brother are speaking to her now." The thought made me growl but neither heard me as Mr. Jonathan Adams and Eric walked in first. But my eyes landed on her. She wore a dark blue dress that rustled at the bottom, showing her cleavage to my eyes but not too much to pry the eyes of others. But it was her scent that caught my attention. The smell of strawberry and vanilla seeped into the air. There were hundreds of scents, but it was only hers that I could find. But I growled as I look toward her face that she tried to keep hidden under a large feminine hat. She wore only a little make up, but tonight she wore more of it. I growled at the sight before me.

"Elijah this is my husband Jonathan and you've met Eric." I glanced over at the man to see he was not tall but shorter then I, his grey hair thick with his cold dark eyes. He held his hand out for me to take but as I did I took note to the bruising around the knuckles.

"pleasure to meet the man who has been courting my eldest daughter."

"the pleasure is all mine." I stated politely, but apart of me, the vampire part want to sink my fangs into him. I released his hand the moment sylara moved closure to me and bowed her head politely; she had never bowed to me before.

"Forgive me for being so ill m'lord, but I promise to never be sick again." She kept her eyes averted from my gaze. Her father coughed. I noticed how her body tensed before she move to stand by my side to take my arm in hers to hold. I could feel her body shaking against me.

"you have a lovely home here" sylaras mother whispered before glancing at her husband.

"isn't it dear."

"it is, a fine place to raise grand children in." sylara gulped, tightening her hold on my arm ever so lightly.

"excuse us for a moment" I muttered before I pulled sylara off to the side into another room of the house.

"make sure we are not disturbed" I whispered to sarah who only nodded before giving the same instruction to Ashley. Closing the door behind me I turned to face sylara who only kept her back to me.

"I'm still ill m'lord." Her words stuttered as if she were afraid.

"don't call me that."

"But m'lo…"

I forced her to face me this time I gripped her chin to look me directly in the eye. I paused as I realized her once beautiful perfectly shaped lips were now swollen from bruising and her right eye held a slight purple color around it.

"let me go" she growled trying to pry my hands away, but I didn't let up In the least. It was then that I could smell her blood.

"Elijah your …your eyes."

I pulled away, I could feel the burning in the back of my throat. How I desperately wanted to sink my fangs into her pulsing vein just below her chin. The smell of her blood was becoming harder for me to control. It would have been a lot easier just to have my way with her and be done with it, but why I couldn't.

"Elijah…" her small hand pressed against my back but I didn't fight it, her touch soothed the burning if only for a moment. I had taken thousands of maidens, feasting on them and using there bodies to satisfy my urges, but then why couldn't I take her.

"I'm a lot stronger then I look m'lor.. I mean… Elijah" she sighed "I can take it."

I took a deep breath to control my temper before I turned to face her but it was her eyes that made me pause. She held a serious look in them that made her seem like nothing could faze her. She had a lot of guts for a human. I had learned long before the human women tend to only care for their own riches and gain, yet the one before cared not. I could feel my body tighten as another hunger emerged for her, a hunger, which needed to be satisfied.

She blushed at me as if my stare embarrassed her. My eyes landed on how she continued to bite her lip, those delectable lips.

"we should really.." but I silenced her as I claimed her mouth with mine. I had been to intoxicated by her sent, the overwhelming need to have her was stronger then I would have thought. I licked her lips, pulling her closure to me. She gasped at how rough I was being but I didn't care, I wanted her desperately I needed to be inside her.

"Elijah wait!" she pushed her hands against my chest but the moan coming from her made me chuckle. I could feel her heart pounding loudly in her blood, how it flowed to her lips. I let my tongue play with hers a little more before I found myself moving to her neck my hand playing in her hair.

"Elijah my father is right out…" I growled as I pushed her on the couch watching as a blush crept to her cheeks.

"your mine…" sylara moaned as I placed myself between her thighs grinding my hips into her pelvis. Tracing my fingertips along her jaw line brushing my thumb against the bruise on her eye. "No one will touch you again."

She gasped as I leaned closure once more, letting my lips trace to the pulse on her neck. If I took her like this I could taste the warm blood, taking her in slowly over and over again as I drank from her.

"Elijah…"

"sylara, Elijah your missing!" I watched as sylara moved to press her hands against her chest and face, her cheeks completely redden. I glanced over my shoulder to see her younger sister abagail watching us before she blushed a deep red and shut the door behind her.

Quickly adjusting our clothing I lead sylara back to the main room where many other lords and ladies waited. I was rather bored with these people now and all I wanted was to take her upstairs and do what I had been longing to do.

I growled at the thoughts that were entering my head why did I want this woman so badly, I had never wanted a woman before, not this badly anyway. But the fire she held in her eyes, they reminded me of something from long ago. She wasn't afraid or scared of her own life; unlike Katherine, she faced it head on.

"sylara." Her mother was calling her over; even though I did not wish to release her I knew she needed to go.

"Elijah…" she moaned as I pulled her closure to me, taking her hand in mine. Placing a soft kiss against her knuckles before letting her return to her mothers side. It wasn't until she had left to her mother that I felt a presence behind me, turning I was welcomed with the cold eyes of her human father.

"may I speak to you a moment Elijah?" I nodded but could feel a tightening in my chest as I walked behind the man, wanting to make him pay for laying a hand on what was mine.

"what are your intentions with my daughter?" I did not like questions such were asked of humans, but I answered sum what honestly.

"hopefully to have her by my side" it was an honesty answer but I didn't know myself whether they were true or not. I had taught myself long ago not to care for humans, but sylara was different. Not even Katherine's blood had smelled so strong.

"you intend to marry her?" the mans questions were starting to bore me but I nodded none the less.

"how do you intend to raise her and the children."

"that will be for me and her to decide." I could tell I had stepped on a nerve for an eye brow twitched as he turned to face me, his eyes clearly angry.

"you know it is proper for the man to ask the father before he is the wed the daughter." I chuckled at how the man dared to think I need his permission to have his daughter. I was no mere man who needed such permission. If I saw something I took it without question, but the polite part of me would still surfaced.

"that's when the father doesn't hit the daughter." I glanced up glaring at the old man as he glared back at me, his chest heaving up and down as his heart pounded with rage.

"I have never…!" I moved with my inhuman speed to stand in front of him my eyes turning red to reveal the veins along side them. He gasped realizing what I was.

"your not human…"

"you will forget what you have seen here tonight…and if you ever lay a hand on sylara again" I bared my fangs, something I never did unless I fed. "I will kill you."

That had been long ago but even after I had compelled sylaras father he had still ended up slaying his eldest daughter unaware that his actions would turn his own daughter into a vampire.

I didn't know why I had such a strong connection to her as a human, she was weak and frail at best. Humans were so weak and defenseless that they at times made no sense at all, so why her.

I found myself standing outside of Elena's home listening to how Jeremy and his witch friend helped Jenna pack a few things before they left that afternoon to check an old barrel ground.

"so how did you become a vampire?" I could hear Elena and sylara speaking in her room. Elena was now the human double ganger. When I had first laid eyes on her I thought she was Katherine patrova, but her scent was human. I growled at the memory of that frail woman. She had taken it into her own hands and become a vampire. I could still remember how charming and witty she had been.

"is it wrong to want more?" Katherine had glanced up at him, her eyes saddened with thought. I could remember sitting next to her to try and comfort the human

"you have Trevor"

"Trevor believes that he loves me, but…true love is not real unless it is returned" she glanced back at me "do you agree?"

"I do not believe in love…Katherine"

"that is to sad for me to accept m'lord.." her eyes held something else in them but I did not know what it was at the time. "life is too cruel, if we seize to believe in love why would we want to live?"

But in the end she had taken matters into her own hands without a second thought, but this woman was nothing like Katherine. Sylara had proven herself the moment she discovered my existence.

Sylara made a soft sigh before she spoke.

"lets just say I hadn't planned on it, but then again I hadn't plan on falling in love with a vampire for that matter."

That had been a night I hadn't forgotten, it was the night that she found out my darkest secret.

Sarah had made a late dinner for us since she had rustled with Christopher the entire day, I was taken aback at the ordeal but sylara was pleased with the dinner none the less. I had watched her carefully eat each peach and pare on her plate along with gently eating the rice and soup that Sarah had made. I mimicked her movements not tasting anything with the food I swallowed but I mimicked her none the less.

"its late, how will you return home?" sylara question as we walked to her home only a few miles up the road, but neither she nor I bothered to care it was long walk.

"I will walk back."

"Alone?" like there was anything else that could jump me at night. I chuckled at her concern before I took her hand in mine pulling her to a stop.

"one moment…" she giggled as I pulled her to me; Watching me wearily as I pulled a box from inside my jacket pocket.

"its not a wedding ring, but.." her eyes became lit with amazement at the silver chain that was placed inside the box. The chain may have looked ridiculous but she couldn't care less it was the first gift she had received from me that would truly be hers.

"its beautiful.."

"I brought it back from London and thought it would suit you." That was a lie but I didn't wish to tell her exactly where I had retrieved it, my brother would never know it was missing.

"may I" she smiled, I nodded as she turned around and pulled her hair up so that I could loop it around her neck. My throat burned as I took noticed to the exposed skin, my fangs suddenly becoming sharper. Tying the chain I immediately pulled away to give us room.

"its lovely Elijah…" she turned to face me her smile catching my gaze, she was truly beautiful.

"well, well, look what we have.." a man stated as he rode next to us on a black stallion along with 4 others who now stood behind me. I growled at the smell of dirt and urine around us, how had I not noticed the smell before. Sylara turned to look behind her fear stricken on her face, but I pulled her closure.

"don't move." I whispered before moving to block their gazes on her.

"leave." I growled, I did not wish to fight but if I had to protect sylara I would kill them in a second.

"gives us your money…." I was sorely tempted to end their lives but I dared not show my true form in front of her, not like this. Pulling out my wallet knowing I would fallow there scents after I had returned her safely home, before I killed them.

Tossing it off to one of the taller men before I turned to sylara. Taking her arm and pulling her away from this place.

"and you can leave the girl too."

"she'd be fun to play with."

I could feel sylaras fear, my vampire part coming forth. No one not even these men would lay a hand on her.

"you can try and take her…but" I turned to face them, my features calm and collective before I let my eyes turn to reveal the red once more. "you'll have to die first."

One of the men jumped from his horse. Holding a crowbar in his hand, but before he could slam it into my side and easily took the arm that held it, snapping it easily in two.

His piercing cry echoed through the night, but to me everything moved in slow motion.

I watched as another moved to pull a knife from his boot but with in human speed I stood next to him before grabbing a hold of his leg and took the knife in my hand before I thrusted the blade into his chest easily.

I groaned as my teeth wish to sink into there flesh but I dared not do that in front of sylara.

"what the hell is he." I moved to another man as he jumped from his horse holding his fist up in defense. It didn't take long before I grabbed him by the throat and slammed him into the ground, smirking as I hear the bones in his back break with little effort.

(bang!)

"noooo!" sylara piercing cry had caught my attention but it was not her that had been shot, it was me. I glanced down to see my shirt stained with blood.

"Elijah!" she screamed trying to run for me but another man grabbed her by her hair and yanked her away. He licked his lips.

"now to…"

But I never let him finish that thought before I grabbed him by the throat and bared it to me while my fangs sunk deep into his flesh. He cried out in pain but it was silenced as I snapped his neck in two. It was to late, my throat burned for blood as I turned to face the leader who still remained on horse and the one whose arm was broken.

"he's a demon!" the man yelled trying to run away, but I quickly took him and sank my teeth into his jugular before tossing him aside like nothing. There blood only scratched the ache, I considered them only snacks that I held no interest toward. The leader only shook in fear, his horse stomping and kicking at the dirt as I moved closure.

"what are you…?"

But I didn't answer before I pulled him down by the throat till he was level with me. But I did not bite into his flesh I merely snapped his neck before tossing him to the ground.

I took a deep breath as the burning still lingered. I needed to control the thirst that burned in my throat before I turned to face her. I could still hear her heart racing uncontrollably behind me.

"E...Elij...Elijah" she whispered, her voice quivering in fear. This always ended up happening one way or another, but I held no fear for I could compel her to do as I asked and one would be not to expose my secret to the world. Another would be to make her and her family forget my existence but that seemed more trouble some. But another part of me that was once human seemed to want to know how should react to my true form.

"Elijah..." she whispered but with authority in it. I smirked at her before I slowly turned to face her. My eyes had almost returned to normal but the blood still lingered down my chin sipping through my suit.

I watched as her eyes widened, her hands placed over her mouth as I let her see me for what I really was, a vampire. Before she could back away I now stood before her. She gasped at how fast I could move but she dared not pull away any further. Seeing the fear in her gaze I knew what had to be done

"are you afraid?" I asked

"yes…" she quivered, tears tickling down her cheeks. I had known she would fear me, others had feared me long before her. It was something my brother had taught me long ago. My thoughts were suddenly returned to her as one of her small hands moved to brush the blood from my lips, what was she doing? I took her hand in mine causing her to jump at how quickly I moved.

"what are you doing?" I asked curious as to know why she wasn't screaming or running away from me. Her eyes suddenly turned stern and furious.

"your hurt?" I could still sea the fear in her gaze but it was also gentle as if she pushed her fears aside.

I paused at her words only watching as she slowly wiped the blood from my chin moving down to my throat. I growled as she brushed against the bullet wound near my upper torso. My wound would heal once I fed properly but at the moment I was fighting both urges.

"you should be afraid…" she glanced up at me instantly "I can kill you without blinking my dear." Apart of me wondered what she would do now, but she only gulped before shaking her head.

"I told you already, you can't break something that's already broken." I pulled her hands from my chest to keep her gaze locked on me. But she tied to fight me this time, although I was a lot stronger. I pulled her against me forcefully so that my lips brushed against hers. my fangs slightly exposed.

"you sure about that" I pulled her tighter against me exposing her throat purposely. Apart of me want to scare her into hating me, I could tell she was as her blood pumped loudly through her veins.

"elija.." I pressed my lips to hers savoring the test of vanilla. I had expected her to fight but she only pulled me closure to her. I grunted as she gripped at the front part of my shirt where the bullet wound still lingered.

"I need to feed." I eyes her exceptionally but that only made me burn more as the rush of blood flooded to her cheeks.

"are you going to bite me.." she paused as I trace my lips over her exposed throat.

"do you want me too.." letting my fangs trace over the pulse on her neck, I wondered what she would taste like. Her breath hitched in her throat as I clasped my mouth around her throat sucking softly at the skin, but I dared not bite, not yet.

She gasped as I pulled against me and the next moment she knew we were in her bedroom.

" how did we.." I chuckled before placing her on the bed. Removing my blood stained shirt before moving over to hover over her small frame. I defiantly needed to feed and I was going to have her whether she liked it or not. I let my hands push her skirt up, but she didn't fight me only watched me as I did this.

"what?" I asked. "no comment"

"you're a vampire…?" I glanced back at her before I pulled her dress to her waist, if I revealed anymore of her then I already had I would most likely take something else against her will.

She gasped as I traced my lips along her inner thigh feeling the warmth against it.

"yes.." then I sank my teeth into her thigh making her mine.

I had only loved one person, and that was my brother, but now after centuries we grew apart. After Katherine betrayal I had learned to close myself off completely to humans. But it was her spirt that caught my eye.

But it wasn't long after she had joined me at my side that Klaus had located her. I was determined to keep Katherine and Klaus away from sylara.

Hey guys I hope you like this story, and I'm thankful that I still have readers reading this. I hoped you guys liked last nights episode of vampire diaries and I have no idea what to write for next chapter but thinking of making a fight scene between damon and sylara and of course Stefan lol, and then debating on when sylara should meet Katherine because she's kind pissed about what Katherine has done to not only Elena and the others but also to Elijah lol
