Wow thank all of you guys so much for the reviews!
Well here's the next chapter, I really have nothing else to say right now. Hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: i own nothing except for Abby.
I waited for what felt like hours upon hours until he gave a very loud gasp that made me jump. I ran over to Elijah who was still as gray as ever.
"Katerina," he gasped before his body jerked another direction. I almost screamed if I hadn't remembered that I had to be quiet so I would let Damon and Stefan know what I was doing. "I can't breathe," he said standing up before falling to the ground again struggling to breathe. He looked up at me with confusion in his eyes. "What's happening to me?"
"You haven't been invited in," I said finally realizing what the problem was. He got off the ground and attempted to speed out of the house only to run into the wall. He stumbled back for a moment before trying again and this time he was gone. I followed him running up the stairs praying that he didn't make too much noise for Stefan and Damon to hear. If they heard me then we were both dead. I ran and saw him in the doorway catching his breath on the ground. His suit was all burned and his hair was a wild mess, but I didn't miss the look of betrayal when he saw that it was me who had pulled the dagger out and not Abby. He tried to run it at me, but he slammed against an invisible wall.
"What happened, where is Abigail?" I flinched at the venom in his voice when he said my sisters name, but I shushed him and pointed upstairs.
"I'll tell you, but not here," I whispered. "Can I trust you?"
"Can I trust you?" he snapped back at me. I took the dagger and hesitantly placing it in his hand. He took it from me and placed it in his coat pocket.
-time jump-
At the Lockwood house. Elijah tells the story of him, Klaus, and Katerina, etc.
"So what has become of Abigail?" Elijah asked sitting down on the couch he seemed very hesitant in asking about my sister and I knew why. He thinks that he betrayed her.
"She didn't know about what they were planning," I said quickly, "Right after we daggered you she tried to kill herself." He jumped up almost immediately his eyes working at a million miles per hour.
"She had my blood in her system, does that mean-?" I quickly shook my head and he seemed to visible relax.
"Stefan and Damon saved her," I said, "She's really missed you though. She did try to remove the dagger, but got caught. She's been trying to save you since you were daggered."
"And Katerina? She would've been released from my compulsion," he said. I knew that this next part was going to be hard for him to hear.
"Klaus took her," I said, "and Abby. He took her for the sacrifice." Elijah got up and went over to the fireplace with a fierce expression on his face. I didn't want to say anything right now in fear that he would hurt me because I could see that he was genuinely upset right now. My phone rang so I let Elijah cool down for a little bit while I talked to…Stefan.
"Hey what's up?" I asked. "What's wrong?" I asked.
"Jenna knows, Alaric attacked her," he said over the other end.
"No, no, alright I'll be there soon," I turned back to Elijah who was still staring at the flames, "I have to go."
"That wasn't part of today's arrangements," Elijah said turning over to face me.
"She's my family Elijah I have to go to her I'll be back you have my word," I told him, but his face continued to be a mask of no emotions. The thing with Abby had really hit him hard even if he wasn't willing to show it. He really did care for her.
"That means nothing anything to me until you live up to it," he told me, but I knew what he meant. If I didn't come back then he was taking me away from my family.
"Thank you," I said running off towards my car.

Once Elena had left I turned back and just stared into the flames thinking of her. Over my dead period I had done a lot of thinking about Abigail. Did she know what they were doing? If so, why didn't she stop it? Had she just been using me to help her family and friends?
She hadn't done any of those things. Abigail had genuinely cared about me, and she was the first girl in over millennia to give a genuine caring for me. I had thought that I knew what love is, with Tatia and Elizabeth it had all been about competition and fighting for her. With Abigail it was different though I didn't have to fight for her love because I had already acquired it, but she didn't make me fight for her. She embraced life and looked for the good in everyone. She could probably even find something good in Niklaus if she tried hard enough, but that would probably be sometime when he wasn't holding her hostage.
Love was a weird word. According to my brother love was a vampire's greatest weakness, but with Abigail everything was different. She made me feel strong like I could do anything. When I was around her I felt nothing but happiness coursing through my un-dead veins. Her smile could give me the strength of a million men. I wanted nothing more than to storm over to wherever Niklaus was and rip his heart out for harming a single hair on her head. My mind was going crazy just thinking about what he was doing to her because I had a feeling that he knew about our relationship. It terrified me what he was going to do just to get back at me for leaving him almost five hundred years ago. The rest of my time alone I just stood there staring into the fireplace thinking of her. I needed to get her back even if I had to storm into the place Niklaus was currently in and tear everyone's heart out. I would do that for her.
The door slammed open and this time I heard two pairs of footsteps coming my way.
"I thought that it was only to be the two of us," I said turning towards the door, but I froze in my footsteps to see who the other person was with Elena. Her dirty blond hair was let down in slight waves down her back and her brown eyes were red and bloodshot. A few tears leaked out of her face as she practically ran over to me wrapping her arms around my torso. My arms followed the action and wrapped around her tightly. Resting my head on top of hers I breathed in her scent for a moment thinking that this was all just a dream.
"Elijah," she said sobbing into my jacket.
"Abby," I replied looking down at her so that I was looking into her brown eyes. My hand came up to her cheek and wiped away gently with my thumb. "Oh god," I muttered pulling her to me again.
"I thought you were dead," Abby cried clutching my jacket tighter, "They let you go?"
"Yes they did," I said looking back over at Elena who had a happy yet cautious look on her face.
"Tell me," Elena said pulling off her jacket, "What is Klaus's curse?"
Abby pov
I gave a confused look towards Elijah and he whispered down to me that he would explain later. Elijah guided me over to the couch and sat down next to me while gesturing for Elena to sit in one of the chairs across from us.
"Please," he said. "You know my family was quite close, but Klaus and my father did not get along too well. When we became vampires we discovered the truth; Klaus was not my father's son. My mother had been unfaithful many years before it was her darkest secret. Klaus was from a different bloodline. Of course when my father found this out he hunted down my Mother's lover and he killed his entire family not realizing, of course, that he was igniting a war between the species that rages until this day."
"You mean the vampire werewolf hatred?" I asked. Elijah placed his arm around my shoulder and pulled me close to him.
"So what does that make Klaus? A vampire? Or a werewolf?" Elena asked looking very confused.
"He's both. A hybrid would be deadlier than any vampire or werewolf nature would not let such an imbalance of power therefore the witches had saw to it that my brother's werewolf side would become dormant."
"That's the curse that Klaus wants to break?" I asked.
"He wants to trigger that part of him that's a werewolf if he succeeds Klaus would sire his own bloodline. He'd build his own race," Elijah explained to us. I was definitely starting to freak out a little bit. "He would endanger not just vampires, but everyone."
"But you helped him," Elena said standing up.
"I helped him because I loved him," Elijah said pulling me closer to him. Feeling more comfortable than I felt in days I rested my head on his shoulder. "That's changed now he must die." I flinched.
"We have the dagger now," another flinch causing Elijah to take my hand in his and give a light squeeze. "We can stop him."
"Silver heals a werewolf, and an Original can only be killed with a silver dagger. So you see the conundrum? The dagger won't work on him," Elijah stated sadly.
"What are you saying that Klaus can't be killed?" Elena practically yelled.
"There's one way to kill any supernatural species," Elijah started.
"By the servants of nature themselves," I finished the pieces of the puzzle finally fitting together. Elijah nodded his head at me and turned back to Elena. "A witch, if they can channel that much power."
"The curse must be broken upon a full moon when Klaus is in transition that's when he'll be at his most vulnerable. A witch with that much power can kill Klaus," Elijah said getting up from the couch and walking over to Elena.
"What if I told you that I knew a witch that could channel that much power?" Elena said.
"Then I would tell you there's one more thing that you should know," he then went on to explain how he had gotten ahold of a witch several centuries before to create a way to save the doppelgangers life. When he was in love with Elizabeth.
"Yes Elena, I did," Elijah said looking back at me. Elena asked Elijah a few more questions before leaving in her car because I had asked for a few minutes alone with Elijah. The second she was gone I turned to face him only to be met with his lips on mine. I sighed in content and wrapped my arms around his neck bringing him closer to me.
"I had nothing to do with your daggering I swe-," I started to say but Elijah just kissed me again.
"I know," he told me when he finally pulled away. "Elena told me, but if you ever try to kill yourself over me again I will-." This time I cut him off.
"I know," he smirked pressing his lips to mine once again running his hands through my hair. "I missed you." I pulled back a small frown appearing on my face.
"That's all you have to say?" I asked incredulously, "You were dead, and all you have to say is 'I missed you'?" he sighed leaning his forehead down onto mine.
"I don't know if I can it though," Elijah muttered and I immediately felt guilty for putting him on the spot like this.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that," I told him. He shook his head holding me to him once again.
"How did you escape?" He asked sounding confused, "How did you escape my brother?"
"I didn't."
Flashback
Katherine and I were watching as the two witches chanted in front of a large box with Alaric/Klaus standing off to the side with his head leaning down. I had no idea what was going on, but I knew that whatever it was it wasn't going to be a good thing. When they stopped Alaric's head looked up and he seemed confused to see Katherine and me here.
"Elena?" He questioned turning his head to me "Abigail?" then he collapsed. I would've rushed to his side if the box hadn't suddenly opened. I watched in horror as a man with short curly dirty blond hair walked out of the box with a smug smile on his face. The two witches smiled, but I was terrified. Klaus looked down on Alaric's body before turning to the both of us.
"Now that's more like it," he smirked looking at me in the eyes. I knew he could see the terror in them, and I knew that he was being all smug about it. Bastard. Suddenly he was right in front of me and I gasped at the close proximity. He forced me to look into his blue eyes and I could only watch helplessly as his eyes dilated and contracted. I knew what was coming.
"Don't," I snapped, but that only increased his smirk.
"You can go, now just stay in town," he said and my eyes widened in fear. Wait, did he just say that I could leave? I looked up at him with confusion evident on my face. "You heard me, go before I changed my mind." I didn't hesitate to run to the door and out of the building to see the sun at its apex. I looked back at the building to see if this was some joke and that I would find Klaus standing there with a smirk on his face. He wasn't there though so I ran, and I ran until I fainted from exhaustion and by that point I had gotten into the boarding house. Damon thankfully had caught me, though.
"Abby? Are you okay," I was already out cold.
End flashback.
"He just let you go?" Elijah asked suspiciously. I could tell that Elijah did really believe that his brother would do such a thing. "Just like that?"
"I don't know," I admitted, "I still think that I'm going to walk out the door and he's going to be right there to kill me." Elijah took my chin in his hand and tilted my head up so that I was looking deep into his dark eyes.
"I will never let that happen, ever," he growled dangerously.
"I don't want you to get hurt," I said thinking back to the time he had told me how to really kill and Original vampire. Like kill, kill not just decapitate. I don't think that I could ever handle if he died, died. It had been hard enough to have him decapitated and that I couldn't help him, but I don't think I could live he died forever. I wrapped my arms around him and held him to me tightly just be thinking about him dead.
"I won't," he said kissing my lips gently.
"I love you," I muttered into his shirt. If he heard me he didn't say anything about it.
"There's one more thing I need to take care of," Elijah told me stroking my hair and I pouted at him.
"I need some sleep," I replied, "I'm going home."
"Do you want me to drop you off?" I nodded my head and in a second Elijah had me scooped up into his arms and flew us back over to my house. With me giggling the whole way there. After he was gone I walked up to my bedroom and changed out of my sticky clothes and took a nice long bath. It had been a while until I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I froze for a moment quickly getting out of bath and wrapping a towel around myself before taking the stake out of the drawer by the sink and walking up into my room. Only to see Elijah sitting down on my bed with a troubled expression on his face. I let out a sigh of relief placing the stake back on the counter and walking into the room.
"What were you doing?" I asked him going through my drawer and finding a couple articles of clothing. I felt Elijah come up next to me and wrap his arms around me. He gently kissed my neck before looking up at us in our reflection.
"Tomorrow I want you to stay here, okay?" he said.
"Why, what's tomorrow?" I asked.
"Tomorrow is the full moon odds are Klaus is going to break the curse tomorrow." I turned around abruptly looking at him with wide eyes.
"No I'm not letting Elena die," I said determined. Elijah sighed and just stared at me for a few minutes he shook his head.
"And I'm not letting you die," Elijah replied back to me. "I-I love you Abigail, and I'm not losing you. I couldn't live with myself if you died." He stroked my cheek lovingly before leaning down and kissing me again, only this time it was more demanding.
"I love you too," I said kissing him again.
Hope you liked it...
