Elijah's POV

From the corner of my eye I could see that she was depressed. She was still brooding over Stefan. I wonder what was it that she saw in him that she wept so much. Today's incident reminded me of the 1920s. The time when Stefan was a ripper. When he was THE ripper. She was fiddling with the necklace he gave her. That means he was still on her mind.

Jealousy ran straight through my veins. That effect he had on her. I wish I had the same effect too. At times like this I felt maybe letting Stefan out of the tomb wasn't the best thing to do. But how was I supposed to know that I would care for her? At that time my priority was killing Klaus but now it was Elena.

Elena- the very reason I came back to the small town of Mystic Falls.

Elena- the one who made me care again

Elena-the one who reminded me that falling in love wasn't a bad thing to do.

My thoughts were interrupted by a loud knock on the door.

"Elena, open up, It's Damon" said the older Salvatore.

"Yeah, I'm coming" said Elena in a low voice, almost like a whisper.

Elena's POV

After going through couple of my photos, Elijah sat down on the sofa. My first thoughts were to sit beside him but I finally agreed to lean against the wall.

Stefan. That was all I could think about. The promises he made but never upheld, the time when he went all crazy and killed two innocent people just because he gave in to his blood lust, the painful and miserable scream from the girl who he killed today.

I couldn't forget. I couldn't forget anything. These memories scarred my mind and made an impression that would last forever.

But in all my brooding I forgot the fact that Elijah was here. He looked lost in his own world. He looked as if he were lost in deep thought. One moment I saw him clenching his teeth and the next he was smiling to himself. That amused me a bit. I suddenly felt the strong urge to sit next to him and talk. Speak my heart out because for some reason I felt that only he would understand.

Knock.

Well, talking would have to wait for a while. I thought to myself. I got a visitor to attend to.

"Elena, open up its Damon". There was some sense of urgency in his voice.

"Yeah, I'm coming" I said, knowing that this tone of Damon's always had to do with something serious.

"So what you're saying is that if we starve Stefan for a few days it will help him?" I said mixed with half confusion and half surprise .Damon and his ideas. Sometimes they worked and sometimes.. I hate to think about those sometimes.

"I'm not hundred percent sure about it but according to Stefan's diary, it worked when Lexi tried it on him." Damon said flashing out his pearly whites. He felt he did something great by reading his younger brother's diary. If it were my diary, by now, he would have probably had a stake through his heart.

"You can't just read someone's diary like that. Especially not your brother's." I lashed out. I was always somehow very touch when it came down to diaries. Be it mine or someone else's.

"What other way was there Elena? Do you think if you go down on your knees begging him to go back to eating bunnies that he would actually do so? He might just feed on some passing hiker." Now it was Damon's turn to get angry. He came closer to me and whispered in my ear "He's a ripper, Elena. Things aren't going to be that easy."

"What do you think we should do next, Damon?" said Elijah who was awfully quite all this while.

"We bring him to the boarding house, snatch his daylight ring and then starve him up to the point when he agrees to comply. So are we all in this?" said Damon, looking hopeful. It was the first time HE was bringing his brother back on track and he wanted it to work.

"I'm in" I said. I would do anything to get Stefan back.

"Elijah?" Damon shot up a questioning eyebrow.

After what looked like Elijah was fighting a war among himself, he finally gave in "I'm in" he said in a defeated tone. I was to find out the reason behind this tone soon.
