Thank you all so much for the reviews :) Hope you like this.

Elijah pov

The smirk was immediately off my face when Damon followed me into an empty room.

"What can I do for you Damon?" I asked placing my hands in my pockets turning to face him.

"I was hoping that we could have a word," he told me. If they were doing what I think he's trying to do then I need to show him that he is not going to succeed in this.

"Where is Elena?" I asked.

"Safe with Saint Stefan," Damon remarked, "They're laying low a little bit of a werewolf problem." I frowned spreading my hands over the edge of the couch. I had been terrified when Abby was brought to me with two bullet wounds in each of her calf muscles and vervaine sprayed over her.

"Oh yes I heard about that," I said trying to act nonchalant. I was slightly confused by his smirk until he spoke further.

"I'm sure you did after all it was your witch that saved us, and I believe that he even brought you Abby after it was all said and done," I frowned. "What is your relationship with Abby, isn't she a little young for you?"

"I assure you that Abby and mine relationship has nothing to do with you," I smirked at him.

"Which only adds to my confusion as why you are here exactly," Damon said sitting on the top of the couch looking at me with confusion on his face.

"Why don't you simply keep Elena and Abigail safe, and leave the rest to me," I smiled and went to leave but he blurred in front of me.

"Not good enough," he said. I grabbed his throat and in an instant I had him slammed up against the wall behind the desk in the study. He tried to retaliate by grabbing my neck, but I he was still new compared to me. I easily took his hand and ripped it off of my neck.

"Young vampires, so arrogant," I stated narrowing my eyes at him. "How dare you come in here and challenge me?"

"Can't kill me man, that's not part of the deal. Abby would hate you if you killed me," in rage I grabbed a pencil and stabbed him in the neck making him give a small groan in pain. I let him go and he fell down on the desk trying to get the pencil out. In the meantime I grabbed a white handkerchief from my pocket and wiped my hands with it.

"I'm an Original, show some respect," I said handing it to him. He snatched it from my grip angrily and held it to his neck to at least attempt to stop the bleeding. "The moment you cease to be of use to me you're dead and I'll take my chances with Abby. So you should do what I say and make sure that Elena and Abby stay safe." Then I left to go try and find Abby.

When I did finally find her she appeared to be arguing with her uncle/father at the moment. I could hear them and I knew that they were arguing about her status with me. Damon came up to them and grabbed Abby and howled her away.

"Did your date abandon you?" Jenna asked looking around, "I thought I taught my niece better than that."

"No she just got dragged away by Damon," I said staring at where she had just been.

"I wouldn't worry about Damon being any competition for you, he and Stefan are like two extra brothers to her. Highly overprotective," she said looking at the direction with me.

"Yes, yes they are."

Abby pov

"Are you okay?" I asked as we entered the boarding house, "What happened?" Damon left and sat down on the couch grabbing a bottle of bourbon.

"Today was a bust," Alaric said coming into the room, "That Elijah is one scary dude, but with cool hair." I smirked and Damon groaned.

"Look out Abby looks like Alaric is ready to steal your guy," he smirked closing his eyes.

"Don't be a dick," Alaric muttered sitting down across form them.

"I'm just going to use the restroom," I said leaving them alone in the room. I had honestly though I hadn't been gone long but when I did come back I saw that Alaric was on the ground by the door with a knife sticking out of his stomach. "Alaric!" I yelled going over to him. I quickly ran and grabbed my phone and quickly looked for the number. "Pick up, pick up, pick up," I chanted in my head over and over again.

"Abby-," I heard his voice on the other end. Two arms wrapped around me and I screamed, "Abby?" I heard Elijah yell from the other end.

"Eli-," something hit the back of my head and I passed out. Then next time I woke up I was sitting on the couch with my arms and hands tied.

"I saw this movie once, some torture porn flick," I turned my head see a man in a plaid camping shirt walking over to Damon with two chains in his hands. My eyes widened when I saw that Damon was chained to a chair with some sort of color around his neck, "So I took the idea and with a little mortifying and wooden stakes then." He took it and gave a tug making Damon groan in pain. My eyes widened at the sight. I tried to speak, but the moment I moved I started to feel lightheaded.

"So I hear you have the moonstone Damon," I turned to see Jules walking in with a few other guys that I had never seen before. I heard Damon chuckle, and I looked at him like he was crazy.

"Oh if you only knew the irony of this moment. Okay let me tell you how this is going to go, you're going torture me, I'm not going to talk, and then someone's heart is going to end up on the floor. Last time it was your friend Mason's."

"You killed Mason?" I asked shocked and hurt. He used to babysit me when I was little and I really liked him. Damon's eyes wandered to me and widened slightly.

"This time it will be yours, or how about this one," Jules said and suddenly I felt a knife press into my throat. God how many times did I have to be close to death? "Do you know what the great thing about buckshot is? It scatters through your body, maximum damage. Where is the moonstone?"

"Looking for this?" A voice called out from the doorway. I was so relieved to see Elijah standing there in his usual calm persona. He took something out of his pocket, a little white rock and placed it down on the table next to me. He sent me a look as if to say 'stay calm' and I did. "Go ahead take it?" why would he-. Two werewolves ran towards it only to have Elijah pull their hearts out and they dropped to the ground. I gave a small gasp in surprise as more werewolves tried to challenge him only to get their hearts ripped out. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jules flee only to leave the young guy with the chains to cower in the corner. "Where'd the girl go?"

"I don't know," Damon said struggling to get out of the chains.

"What about you sweetheart?" Elijah asked the man, he shook his head violently clutching his chest as if it would stop Elijah from ripping out his heart. "Well I guess I doesn't really matter anyway." He snapped the guys neck and started to undo the chains around Damon, "You realize this is the third time I've saved your life now." Damon smiled mockingly at Elijah before he walked over to me and undid the chains around my wrists and ankles.

"Thank you," I said, but he still looked at me worriedly.

"Are you alright?" I nodded and he smiled. Then he took the moonstone and walked out the door. I don't know why, but I was disappointed. I guess I sort of guessed that he would stay longer or something, but he didn't. I didn't stay at Damon's long only enough to help him get the collar off and help pick up a few of the chains before saying goodnight and heading home.

"Hey Jenna," I said throwing my keys down on the counter. I walked in seeing that she was working on something for her college thing. "How are you doing?"

"I'm fine," Jenna said smiling at me. "Just tired."

"Well go to bed don't want you falling asleep on the table again," I smirked and she cracked a small smile in my direction. I came over to her and sat on the table, "but seriously Jenna are you okay? You seem frustrated lately." Jenna sighed and rested her head on her hands over the table.

"I feel like everyone's keeping something from me, and I don't like that feeling. I feel like Ric is keeping something from me," she said.

"Well Jenna-," I said, but as I said it her phone started ringing.

"It's Ric," Jenna sighed, "What were you going to say?" I only shook my head.

"It's alright Jenna we can't talk tomorrow or sometime soon okay I'll see you in the morning," I bid her goodnight before walking up the stairs and into my room. Only when I opened the door I saw Elijah standing there sitting on my bed. I don't know why, but I felt some anger bubble in my system upon seeing him.

"You're angry," he stated frowning at me. "I understand."

"No I'm not," I said trying to ignore him and taking off my sweater before tossing it into my hamper. When I turned around Elijah was right in front of me studying my every move.

"Yes you are, don't lie," he said to me taking a piece of my hair and brushing it away from my face.

"Why did you leave?" I asked. He took my face in his hands and just stared at me for a moment before answering.

"I don't want them to use you to get to me," he said. "And to do that I have to pretend."

"Why would they do that? What do you mean by pretend?" I asked covering his hands with my own. "You're speaking in riddle Elijah, just say it."

"I care about you Abigail, and I don't want you to be used to hurt me. Not by your friends and most certainly not by Klaus when he gets here," he told me eyes boring into mine.

"I care," I couldn't help but say it. I don't know what had happened but I had to say it aloud, I had to say it in front of him just once. Time seemed to freeze in place as we just stared at each other. He leaned down closer to me pausing for only a moment to see if I was going to pull away, I didn't. In the end it was me who closed the distance between us connecting our lips. Electricity crackled through my entire body just by the feeling of his lips on mine. My hands left his to wrap them around his neck and his were buried deep in my hair. He pulled me closer to him as we both battled for dominance, and the only time we stopped was so that I could get some air. Somehow I ended up with my back on my bed and Elijah was shrugging himself out of his suit jacket and me out of my blouse so that I was left in my tank top and jeans same for Elijah.

"We shouldn't," Elijah said pulling away slightly. This time it was me who placed my hands around his face looking him in the eyes.

"That doesn't mean we can't," his lips smashed to mine once and this time we didn't stop.

Please review :) It would make my day.

Love to all.
