Elijah travelled through Seattle. He stopped at multiple places asking questions yet nobody ever recalled speaking to him. He wondered on the streets with one goal and one goal only to find Kol and avenge Matt and everything else Kol has done. He discovered a clue to wear Kol is located and followed it up. He walked into a bar near an alley and went to the bartender.

"Have you seen a young man about kind of tall. Has dark brown hair and this sort of enraged look?" Elijah asked.

The bartender was female and quite attractive. She has long luscious blonde hair and deep blue eyes. She answered with a question, "Honey is that your type?" She leaned toward him to where her breasts where in perfect view.

Elijah laughed awkwardly. He removed his hands from the counter top and stepped back, rejecting the bartender.

"I guess he is your type," she concluded.

"Actually he's my brother," Elijah clarified.

"Ahh your brother," she smiled. "Well if he looks anything like you I would of noticed him but sadly I haven't."

The bartender flirted making Elijah uncomfortable. Elijah said goodbye to the women.

"Now that's no way to deny a lady," said a man. Elijah turned around after instantly recognizing the voice. There standing was Kol. He snickered, "Hello brother, nice to see you again."

Elijah kept his cool trying not to show his rage. "It's been a while."

"Ah only what five months since what I killed the quarterback. How'd Elena take it," Kol corrected. Elijah tensed up. "Then again I'm sure Klaus was there to help her through it. I mean come on, he kidnaps the girl he has tortured for years out of a coffin and then falls in love with her. My question is does she have feelings for him?"

"What do you want?" Elijah said ignoring his brother's words.

"You're the women who was searching for me or are you just stopping by for a chat," Kol provoked.

"Well why don't we take this outside," Elijah gestured.

Kol and Elijah went outside into the alley.

Elijah thrusted Kol up against a solid brick wall. Kol want hanging up but was chuckling, "What are you going to do? Kill me?"

Elijah pulled out a white oak stake that was tucked under his suit.

"I thought they were all destroyed," Kol's mood changed to a more astonished expression.

Elijah struck Kol but he pulled away and the two fought for a couple minutes. Elijah had Kol in a headlock. He jabbed the stake into Kol's chest clearly hitting the heart. Kol's skin changed and he burst into flames right in front of Elijah's eyes.

Elijah felt no remorse. No pity. He felt free after murdering his cruel and unpredictable brother.

The next day Klaus was reading a book in the study in their mansion. He was lying on a white futon. Klaus had a cup of wine placed on the coffee table. "Your back," he said.

Elijah entered the room.

Klaus closed is book while marking his place with a bookmark.

"Did you find him?" Klaus asked.

"We have one less stake," Elijah confirmed.

Klaus grinned. "I'll inform Elena."

"Actually you can go tell Rebekah and I'll tell Elena since she Rebekah would like to hear it from you," Elijah suggested.

Klaus complied, "Good to have you back."

Elena is watching some romantic comedy when Elijah walks in. As soon as she sees him she drops her bowl of popcorn and hugs him. He hugs her back.

"I've missed you so much. Your back just in time for the holidays. I was going to send you your christmas present but your back and now you better hurry because Christmas is in three days," Elena bubbled.

"Elena, listen I lied to you," Elijah admitted. Elena looked confused. "I um didn't go to Seattle to meet with some old friends. I went to find Kol."

The mention of his name made Elena's blood boil. "Why?" she asked.

"Elena, Kol's dead," Elijah said. Elena didn't move. She bent down and began picking up the spilled popcorn. Elijah watched her trying to avoid the subject. "Elena, I just said he was dead."

"I heard you," Elena muttered.

"And..." Elijah said looking for more of a reaction.

"Is that what you thought I wanted? Revenge? I wanted for him to leave us alone not die. You just killed hundreds of people by killing him. Elijah I didn't ask for you to do this. You should of just left this alone." Elena walked out of the room leaving Elijah in shock.
