Chapter Twelve
Silence filled the air as Klaus and Elena walked onward. For several minutes it was nothing but a thick, intoxicating, and somewhat awkward silence. When Elena finally worked out her thoughts, she gave Klaus a confused, shocked look, "But Elijah wasn't even in town."
"Ahh, that's the beauty in the situation, my dear," Klaus said, giving Elena a slight smile, "He was. He was hiding out and waiting."
"For what?" Elena asked, confused. What would he have to wait for? Why, if he was there in Mystic Falls, did he not just grab her and run?
"For the comet, he'd need the magic associated with the event." Klaus simply said with a nod, "And you were safe enough, for then. He tried to destroy your parents because they knew about vampires, and he knew that they would try and kill him if he came after you."
Elena tried to comprehend that, guilt filling her even more. She'd known her parents death was her fault, however she'd assumed it was because she had skipped family night to go to that party. She had no idea that it had been a result of her being born. It was all her fault, and some days, she wished that she had never been born, simply because of the trouble it caused everyone.
She took a deep breath and then exhaled, "Then why didn't he take me after that?" She crossed her hands over her chest, in a protective and uncomfortable stance, as if trying to shield herself from the impact of it all.
"The Salvatore brothers were around then. The only reason he took you when he did was because you and Stefan were broken up then, and you were at a vulnerable time. And he knew that it was only a matter of time before I found out where you were." Klaus slightly smiled at the thought of his brother. He missed Elijah, at least a little bit. It struck him with sadness that his sister and his brother who he had trusted, had betrayed him
Elena glanced around in several directions, unsure what to say. This newfound information was like a punch in the gut to her. Her life seemed to get progressively worse with every passing day. And when that happened, no matter how strong she was, she couldn't help but feel eaten down inside, and feel as if she was undeniably, bitterly broken.
Elena weakly nodded, avoiding looking into Klaus's eyes.
AN: Hello again! So I wanted to ask about this review, and how it confused me:
i cant believe it ur a stelena fan and this is somehow a mixed up stelena and melena story? cuz the 2 characters that was written in the summary were damon and elena so yeah im a HUGE DELENA fan and i didnt know julie got death threats 4 that r u kiddin me we put uo with 2 seasons full os stelena kissy-kissy scenes and with one awaited kiss u give them death threats... get ur acts together stelena shippers act like adults
To answer the first part, yes, I'm a Stelena shipper. The story is about the love triangle in the show though, and at the current moment I don't know who Elena is going to end up with in my fanfic. I don't mind Delena anymore, I think it's okay (this is my opinion), however at the first and second season I was screaming at my tv whenever a Delena scene happened. I just thought the kiss would bring a lot of internal conflict for Elena (yay internal conflict!) and so I wrote this fic. I was trying to keep it close to the show while diverging onto my own storyline.
And wait a minute, you just stereotyped all Delena and Stelena shippers with that last comment…I don't want to be mean, but that made me a little mad. I would never do that, as I mentioned, and most Stelena shippers didn't either, only a few people. And so that's a few immature people, not all of us. I try and act like an adult, thank you very much (even though im technically not an adult, lol).
Spoilers from last episode warning (so don't tell me I didn't warn you): It was a really good episode! I loved the Stelena scenes and his I like what he said , "You're better than him Elena, you're better than the both of us." I think it was, along with what he said earlier, meant to show how strong Elena has gotten during the season. And I actually like Alaric and Meredith more than I thought I would, maybe that's because im reading Vampire Diaries: Hunters book #1 Phantom right now, so I like how Meredith is finally getting a tv show character now! And I loved Stefan hitting damon at the end, although I really don't understand why he's so mad, since Stefan and Elena aren't even together still.
Anyways, might not update in a few days, cause I might do a play festival thing (im an actress)…and I wont have internet if I do that. But I will update when I get back from that…anyones, im so tired I can barely keep my eyes open…so…
PS Please Review! It helps and encourages me to write more. And tell me what fanfics you want me to continue writing and ill start working on a new chapter of that fanfic, probably. I'm going to work on Someone Who Loves You soon, so keep and eye out for that, and I'm thinking of writing another chapter Things Change….so tell me what you think. And Remember…
REVIEWS=LOVE=I'M HAPPY=I'LL WRITE MORE AND FASTER!=YOU'LL HAVE MORE TO READ!
SO REVIEW! And tell me what I can improve on!
