Elena stood a couple blocks away from the warehouse she was held in for a couple days but only spent a few hours with Matt. In those few hours she discovered that even if he hated her. What Matt meant to her never went away but grew stronger. For two friends who met before they were one to still care for each other is rare now a days.

Elena waited for a couple minutes. She started to worry. Klaus and Elijah should be out with Matt by now. She began to grow impatient

In the warehouse.

Klaus pressed his hands against his face. He couldn't believe this. Elena wont forgive him. Elijah was on the floor next to Matt's fed him his blood but knew before that it was hopeless. Matt was gone. Elijah just wanted to tell Elena he did everything he could. See Elena always had an unusual relationship with Elijah. But now a friendship that's important to the both of them. Elijah sat down. His knees were bent and hands hung over them. Elijah was depressed, how could he not save a simple human being from his insane cold hearted brother. The two of them were speechless. Not wanting to leave the body but not wanting to let Elena see this heart-wrenching tragedy.

Elijah eventually got up. He put his hands in the pockets of his slacks. He trolleyed over to Klaus. "Want me to tell her," Elijah asked.

"No, we'll tell her together. She will need both of us to be there for her. " Klaus said. He spoke without looking at Elijah. he just stared at Matt.

The two walked out their faces grim. Klaus has never feared the idea of telling someone that someone's dead before. But now he doesn't know how.

They came up to Elena. She was still in the metallic dress from three days ago. Although it was filthy and ripped in multiple places.

"Um...Elena" Elijah said. Elena knew what he was going to say just by his tone and well the absence of Matt. But she didn't say a word. She didn't know what to say. "Matt, well I came back for him and well... you see.. I don't know how to do this"

"'I'm so sorry love, if we knew Matt was here in the first place. Elena he didn't make. Kol killed him and then took off right past us." Klaus said. His eyes watery.

Elena stood their without making a noise. She just looked at the two men standing right in front of her. They didn't know what to do. If they should hug her or just be there for her. Take her home or to a motel to cool down. Finally, Elena spoke, "How'd he do it" Elena asked in the calmest voice humanly possible. Klaus and Elijah were dumbfounded by her words. "How'd he do it," Elena said but this time with a hint of aggression.

"Do what?" Elijah asked cautiously, not to upset her any worse.

"You know what," Elena said. Her teeth sort of grinding due to her trying to keep her rage in. But after an exchange of empty looks she bursted. "HOW'D HE DO IT? KILL MATT? MY BEST FRIEND IS DEAD. HE WAS KIDNAPPED WHILE I WAS OUT HAVING FUN WHILE MATT WAS BEING TORTURED! KOL WAS DEAD. I MADE SURE OF THAT. SO WHY DON'T ONE OF YOU TELL ME HOW IS HE ALIVE? HOW DID HE MURDER MATT? HOW ON EARTH DID YOU LET THAT MONSTER GET AWAY?" Elena was hysterically crying. Tear rushing down her face like a river rushing down the stream. Her breathing was more like panting. "TELL ME? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!"

The brothers knew to just left her banter. Get out all that rage. To just listen.

Elena broke own. Her knees fell to the floor. Her pain overtook her. Instead of yelling she sadly said, "Matt's is matt gone," Klaus grabbed her and hugged her. Her arms buried in his chest. He wrapped around her to keep her from going ballistic. She dug her head into his shoulder. Crying like their was no tomorrow. She weeped and she weeped. For maybe hours. She couldn't catch her breath. She couldn't stop shaking. She couldn't keep the tears from falling out of her eyes.
