Elena Yana Petrova was the youngest triplet of Amara and Silas Petrova. She was born in the small town in Bulgaria. Her father had been a doctor so he was very wealthy although he was having an affair with a girl named Tessa. Silas was a gambling man who loved to win and hated to lose. Her mother was a quiet soul who mostly kept to herself. Everyone used to say that she looked just like her mother when she was young.
Elena never told anybody why she came to America. Even her friend Caroline didn't know. She just thought that Elena came to America for work. This was not true. She'd come for revenge. On the night of the 18th of October 2002 when she was just 16 years old her parents were murdered. Tatia and Katerina were with friends while Elena wanted to drop by the house to get her phone. When she neared her house she heard screaming coming from inside it. She rushed to the door and banged it open.
It was the most horrific sight she'd ever seen. Her mother's brains were on the floor while the rest of her body was lifeless on the floor with blood everywhere. Elena's father was stuck to the wall with a hunting axe through his head. Blood was spattered all over the walls. The stench was unbearable almost chocking her. There was a man standing in the room with blood all over him. He was carrying a gun and he looked like some sort of savage.
He was a young man of only 18 but she recognised him. He was that gangster's son, his name was Klaus. He looked completely cold like he'd done nothing wrong. When he saw Elena a wolfish grin spread across his features. He raised his gun and pointed it at her but he didn't kill her he just laughed a twisted laugh.
"You'll be no trouble" he chuckled, "My orders are to kill these people only"
With that he left the house leaving Elena to collapse with grief. There and then she swore revenge on the man who killed her parents. That's when her government took a special interest in her. She knew her mission: Kill Klaus.
"Come on" Elena urged putting him in her tinted car.
Once they'd moved her men had stared clearing up the evidence. As they gathered speed Elijah's curiosity grew.
"Who are you?" Elijah repeated.
"Elena Petrova" she answered simply.
"Who do you work for?" Elijah demanded.
"Bulgarian Government" Elena answered honestly.
"Why does the Bulgarian Government want me?" Elijah asked.
"They don't" Elena said, "I'm just doing you a favour"
Elijah became more confused.
"Tell me everything" Elijah said.
…
When Kol, Rebekah and Klaus got back from rescuing Elijah they came back empty handed. Klaus looked enraged; Rebekah looked worried while Kol looked confused. Meredith was reading the newspaper when they came in. She could tell immediately that something was wrong.
"WE GO ALL THAT WAY JUST TO SAVE HIS ARSE! Klaus roared, "TO FIND HE'S ALREADY BEEN BLOODY RESCUSED!"
He slammed the shovel into the corner of the room and left to cool down. Kol bounded up to Meredith for support while Rebekah went to go and get something to eat.
"Do you know who rescued him?" Meredith asked Kol.
"No" he shook his head, "They did it further up the road than us so they got there first"
"Are you Ok?"
Kol sat on the sofa with her before she curled up to him. He really didn't know how he got this lucky. Kol was a terrible person and not a stretch to say 'evil'. He knew what he was and wasn't ashamed of it. Kol didn't know what a nice girl like Meredith saw in him. She was the charitable type and she's so full of light. All he knows is that he must have done something right in a part life to get someone like her. Suddenly a wonderful idea occurred to him.
"Marry me"
Meredith looked confused for a second. She spun around to face him with a smile on her face.
"Are you serious?" Meredith beamed.
"Yeah" Kol nodded.
"Ok then" Meredith agreed with enthusiasm.
…
Klaus entered Caroline's cell hoping to calm him down. He knew it was a bad idea to rescue Elijah and they've wasted valuable time. Klaus decided that with or without his siblings he was leaving to country tomorrow. He wasn't going back to the funny farm just for Elijah. One thing he knew was that Caroline was coming with him. He didn't care if she had to be bound and gagged he need her wherever he was going.
"There's been a change of plans" Klaus announced to her.
Caroline had been sitting on the bed reading a newspaper that Klaus had snuck her. She looked bored but oddly peaceful. When he entered she looked up at him as if to say 'what now?'.
"We're leaving tomorrow at first light" Klaus finished.
She merely nodded and got back to her newspaper. Reading a story about a fat cat called 'meatball'. He supressed a giggle and left her to it.
…
"So let me get this straight" Bonnie seethed to Elijah's former prison governor, "Elijah escaped because YOU didn't put enough security on him while he was travelling. So it's ALL your fault?"
Before the man could respond Bonnie sent an irritated wave his way. He got up looking ashamed and left the office. Finn had been suspiciously quiet since he'd heard of his brother's escape. He was just sitting on his chair, obviously deep in thought.
"We're going to be a laughing stock!" Bonnie cried, "Its bad one escaped but two? The press are going to love this"
"Take me to the scene of the crime" Finn suddenly said.
..
"Klaus killed your parents?" Elijah gasped.
They'd been driving for hours and had ditched their vehicle twice. Elena went into depth about what happened to her. Elijah was completely silent while Elena finished her story.
"Yes" Elena nodded.
"Then why are you helping me?" Elijah asked, confused.
"Once I saw you weren't like your brother at all I wanted to help" Elena explained.
"So what happens now?"
"My objective is still to kill Klaus" Elena told him, "But I convinced them to give you a free pass to Bulgaria"
Elijah was touched by her kindness. He wasn't used to it given his background.
"Thank you" was all he said.
…
Klaus had started packing his stuff up, he already had the travel arrangements ready. He was bound for Prague and Caroline was going with him. Kol entered his room looking angry. Klaus just rolled his eyes not in the mood for his brother's drama.
"What is it Kol?"
"You're leaving?" Kol snapped in a disapproving tone.
"In case you haven't noticed our stupid plan to rescue Elijah hasn't worked so I say we need to scram before the police find us" Klaus reminded him sarcastically.
"We need to find Elijah! He could be with anybody" Kol argued.
"If you want to stay here on a pointless mission to find Elijah and get caught then be my guest. But those with a brain are leaving!" Klaus shouted back while he was zipping his suitcase.
"Still thinking about none but you" Kol snarled.
"You know it's true" Klaus spat.
"Well I'm better at running from the police then you" Kol snorted, "They never caught me"
Klaus took his suitcase and faced his brother.
"That's because you left the country" Klaus retorted before he left the room.
Kol rolled his eyes and followed him down the stairs when they reached the living room Klaus put down his suitcase and headed for Caroline. Rebekah got up from the sofa and approached Kol.
"What's going on?" Rebekah wondered.
"Klaus is leaving" Kol told her with disgust.
"He's what!" she instantly became enraged.
Klaus came back with Caroline in toe and he then headed for the suitcase but Kol and Rebekah blocked his path.
"I thought we decided to stick together" Rebekah pointed out.
"Things change little sister now get out of my way" Klaus ordered.
"We can't just leave Elijah" Rebekah pointed out.
"Yes we can" Klaus shrugged.
And with that he left his siblings alone.
...
Elena led Elijah into her home. It was weird for Elijah to be in real world since he escaped. It wasn't like the fancy houses he's had before but it was certainly better then a grotty cell. He never thought he'd be free again. Elena took off her coat and turned to him.
"Do you want something to eat?" Elena asked.
"Do you cook?" Elijah wondered.
"Enough to get by" Elena shrugged.
"Then let me make you something" Elijah suggested, "It's the least I can do"
Elena raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Can you cook?" Elena chuckled.
"I'm not all guns and violence" Elijah joked.
Elena let out a giggle.
"Then be my guest" Elena motioned to the kitchen.
Elena sat down to watch him cook and to her surprise he was very skilled. It was usually Caroline that did the cooking. Thinking of her friend she suddenly felt sad. She was very worried about her. Caroline was properly dead already.
"Can you do me one favour?" Elena suddenly asked.
"What is it?"
"Klaus has my friend Caroline, is there anything you can do?" Elena pleaded.
"I'm guessing your phone's got one of those anti tracking devices?" Elijah guessed.
"Yeah" Elena nodded.
Elijah picked up Elena's phone and began to dial.
"How do you know his number?"
"We have an emrgency number in case we need to contact each other" Elijah told her.
The phone finally clicked in and he heard Kol's voice from the other end.
"Who is this?"
"It's Elijah"
Kol was silent for a few moments but that didn't last long.
"ELIJAH! Where are you? Are you Ok? I've been so worried. We tried to rescuse you but you weren't there. Wait" he could hear Kol yell in another direction, "REBEKAH ELIJAH'S ON THE PHONE!"
Elijah smiled at hearing his little brother's voice. He missed he family so much. Elena was watching him with interest as she stirred her coffee.
"I'm Ok" Elijah assured him.
He heard what sounded like footsteps running down a staircase. Suddenly he heard his sister's voice.
"Elijah!" Rebekah gasped.
"Hello sister" Elijah beamed.
There was someone missing.
"Where's Klaus?" Elijah frowned.
There was an awkard silence.
"He said he didn't want to wait for you" Kol explained, "He left a couple of hours ago"
Elijah couldn't help but feel a little hurt by his brother's actions. Elena mouthed 'Caroline' to him, dragging him back to earth.
"He had a girl with him called Caroline" Elijah began, "Where is she?"
"He took her with him" Rebekah told him.
"Where are you?" Kol repeated, "We'll come find you"
"I'm fine Kol" Elijah assured him, "A nice lady is taking me to Bulgaria"
"I'll call you later, maybe we can meet up somewhere" Kol suggested.
"Ok...bye" Elijah turned off the phone and gave it too Elena.
"She's gone"
...
Caroline was currently handcuffed to a cargohold. Klaus was sitting next to her reading a newspaper he'd nicked. She would never admit it but she was terrified. The plane was about to take off and she'd be gone forever. She wanted to cry but she refused to cry in front of him. Klaus put a reassuring hand on her shoulder as if trying to calm her.
"Try not to panic" Klaus said softly.
"I'm never coming back am I?" Caroline predicted.
Klaus just shook his head.
And in a few minutes they were off.
...
Kol, Meredith and Rebakah were packed and ready to go. They had a few hours to catch the ship to Prauge. Meredith looked pale due to her mourning sickness. Before they could leave the properlty the FBI banged down the door. Suddenly the house was filled with men with guns. All pointing it at them. Bonnie and Finn walked in once the building had been secured looking incredity smug.
"I told you I'd find you" Finn said.
