She now realized it was going to take her some time to be able to tolerate him and his cockiness. But oh well it was better to have company than to be by herself.

How long will it take her to realize it would have been better to stay away?

"Come on love, get up! We don't have all day!", Klaus said to her while taking her arm and pulling her up off of the ground. In the process almost causing her to fall.

"What a gentleman…", she said in voice dripping of sarcasm.

Before she could even think of protesting he was dragging her along through the streets. Now she was just questioning why he was still holding her hand? Even as she thought of it she knew she didn't want him to let go.

The second she thought this she thought of how wrong it was of her to think this way. 'He is your enemy. Klaus is your enemy! God remember that Elena.' A little voice in her head said. Why was she thinking of him this way?! She never thought about him this way ever before.

Ugh but his hand felt so good in hers. The feeling of his soft warm hand in hers. Holding it so softly like it was the most fragile and valuable thing in the world. Like she was made of porcelain and he didn't want her to break. But also firm enough to make her feel safe to know he would protect her if anyone would dare hurt her. Slowly she moved her gaze from his hand to his arms. Those muscular arms, so strong and hard but at the same time able to protect you from any danger. Even if that danger comes from the inside. Going over to his back, to the tight shirt he was wearing. Showing of his muscular back perfectly.

All of a sudden she noticed they had stopped walking and he was now looking at her. She blushed furiously.

"Enjoying the sight, sweetheart?", he said with a wink before letting go of her hand.

She immediately missed the warm feeling that his hand gave her.

Before she even had time to react or think of any kind of explanation, he had walked inside this building. It was built largely it gave of a kind of old look. When they walked through the entrance they arrived at this patio.

"Elena?", she heard someone say her name. She knew immediately who it was and this time it actually brought a smile to her face unlike with her meeting with Nik.

Oh god did she just call him Nik. God what is wrong with her.

"Elijah.", Elena replied a smile gracing her features.

When she turned around she looked right at the person who she had made deals with and spoken to countless of times. He smiled at her as well.

"What are you doing here?", he asked still confused behind her sudden arrival.

"She needed a little getaway, brother. It is alright if I let her stay in our family home, right?", Klaus said, it was more of a rhetorical because in the way he said it she knew that even if Elijah would have said no, he would have still let her stay.

"Yes of course she can Niklaus. Do you mind showing her around or shall I?", he asked, always the gentleman she thought.

"I got this covered, Elijah.", he replied smoothly before turning towards her. "Let's go!", he said.

"Bye see you around Elijah", she quickly said before following the hybrid.

Klaus showed Elena around for some time, showing her almost every room. Eventually ending at her bedroom.

"…And this is where you'll be sleeping. Hope it is alright, we are kind of short on guest rooms right now.", he said looking almost…no that can't be true, he looked a bit nervous and insecure. But Klaus, the big bad hybrid, isn't insecure. Right?

"Yes it'll be just fine. Everything is better than those motel rooms I have stayed at. Really I am very thankful I can stay here." , the doppelgänger replied swiftly giving him a friendly smile.

"I'll leave you to be by yourself for now then and maybe get a good night's sleep. So good night, my sweet Elena", he said. She noticed this was the first time he actually said her name and not the endearments he had grown accustomed to using. And god did she like hearing him say her name. He made it sound so much more beautiful with this foreign accent.

Lost in her thought she hadn't realized he had been waiting for her to react.

"Oh yeah good night!", she said quickly rushing into her bedroom.

"Dear god what is happening to me…", she mumbled out loud to herself. "I should get a shower that should help clear my head.".

She quickly showered in a magnificent bathroom, like these originals have got some good taste going on. After that she got dressed and ready for bed. She quickly got into the king sized bed and laid her head down on this huge fluffy pillow.

'What are you doing, Elena? No seriously what are you doing!? Flirting with Klaus, going to New Orleans. This was all such a bad idea… Okay stop it right there you needed a change from moping around all day about Damon and Bonnie. It is time for you to move on. And if that is with Klaus then so be it.', her internal struggle continued as it always did.

Because of this inner demon she didn't hear the intruder that had come through her window. So when someone put something over her mouth, you could say that she was honestly shocked and surprised. She tried not to breath in but the need for oxygen became too big. She then inhaled the sharp smell and taste of alcohol and something else she couldn't quite put her finger on.

Within seconds she started losing consciousness. She tried to fight it but she just couldn't. But before her world went entirely black she caught a glimpse of the person who was holding her down. And when she saw who it was it shocked her so deep to the core and in her bones that it seemed like time had stopped. After that the entire world went black and her body went limp. Before it was taken by the oh so familiar intruder.

Sometimes the worst things in life are done by the people you least expect. Should she have trusted anybody or should she have trusted herself and never have gone to that awful place?
