I'm on a roll. I'm not doing anything so I decided to write some more for this fanfic. I hope you like :)
The hall was quite dark and Elena had only just realized that it was quite late in the night. Maybe she should wait till the next day to do this? She shook her head at the thought. She had to do it while she had the nerve otherwise it would never be done. She walked to the 2nd door on the right like Kol had said and slipped in quietly. Elijah was laid asleep which made Elena smile but she quickly shook her head. She looked around the room and grabbed a pen off the bed side table. She then threw it at him hitting him in the face. His eyes opened and he looked at her. "Sorry! Uh.. No I mean great you're awake." "Elena? Why are you here?" He was hoping she hadn't got her memory back just yet. He needed time to think everything through.
"You made me forget everything from the past Elijah." He sighed and got up looking at her. He was afraid that his brother would give her the memories back. "Did Klaus compel you to remember?" "No. Kol did." Elijah narrowed his eyes at her. It was very unbelievable that Kol would give her the memories back. "Kol? My brother Kol?" He questioned to which she nodded wordlessly at. They stood in silence for awhile before Elena decided she needed answers. "Stefan and Damon never give me control but you always did Elijah. Why did that change this time?" She was trying to stay strong and not break down infront of him.
"You gave me your word that you would wait for me Elijah! You never said you'd make me forget!" "I know Elena and i'm sorry." "You basically handed me to death!" This confused Elijah. Did something happen after he left? "What do you mean?" "You took away my memories so I had no idea about Gwen! She came back and tried to kill me. She tried breaking this mating bond we supposedly have." Elijah's face turned pale and he was surprised by this. The guilt washed over him as he ran a hand through his hair. "I had no idea Elena." "I refuse to believe that this mating bond doesn't give you any warning." "Warning? I did have a feeling but I ignored it. I'm sorry"
Elena threw her hands up in the air out of irritation. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. He could have easily redeemed himself by at least coming to her rescue and giving her the memories back but no he ignored it. "You ignored it?! Are you serious?! You're almost as bad as Damon!" Elijah felt ashamed of himself. He had never meant for any of this to happen. He just wanted her to have a life that wasn't interrupted by him and his family.
"Why the hell did you even take my memories Elijah?!" He looked her right in the eye. He let out a sigh as he saw all the anger she had and the other emotions swimming in her eyes. "I didn't know what else to do Elena! You've had terrible things happen to you because of me and my family! I couldn't just drag you into my life when I have problems! Klaus killed your aunt then he killed you. Rebekah is the reason you're a vampire! Call me Selfish if you will Elena but I made that choice for your benefit. You have these feelings for the Salvatores. It already has you confused why should I add to it?"
Elena stared at the man in front of her speechless. She understood where he was coming from but did that really give him the right to choose her life? She didn't care about some issues. "Elijah you betrayed my trust. I understand what you're saying honestly I do but it doesn't excuse it. You took my choice away like Stefan and Damon do all the time. I want to be with you but not when you're having thoughts about us. This mating bond means were stuck together and you have to realize that sooner or later. I'm not going to ignore it because you think it's best for me. I choose what's best for me. Not you." Elena left the stunned Elijah to his thoughts.
Klaus and Kol were sitting on the sofa downstairs. They were listening in on everything the two mates were saying. "So over dramatic." Klaus said with a shake of his head. "Don't you have a blonde to stalk brother?" Kol said turning to his brother with a smirk tugging at his lips. "I don't stalk her Kol." "No you just investigate her a lot right?" "Oh shut up." "It's just love brother." "I am serious Kol." "I'm sure she'll notice you one day" Klaus growled and pounced at his younger brother. Elijah walked down the stairs to see the two brothers rolling around trying to get control of the fight. This was the second time he had seen this kind of fighting. "Will you two stop rolling around on the floor? It's very idiotic."
Klaus pushed Kol off him and got up growling. "He started it." Kol scoffed at how childish his brother sounded. He was still laid on the floor not bothering to get up just yet. "Seriously brother you sound like a little child." Kol said smirking at the hybrid. "Okay Kol go to your room." Elijah said too tired to deal with any of this. "What?! Why?" Kol pouted as Elijah glared at him daring Kol to challenge him. Kol walked upstairs still pouting. "Now whose the child?" Klaus muttered slightly amused. "So I guess things are not all great in Elijah world?" Klaus said turning to the oldest Mikaelson. "No things are not good."
Elijah had decided to just sit in the study and take his mind off Elena with a book. Klaus wasn't interested in reading so he went to the Grill hoping a certain blonde may be there. She was sitting in a booth with that blonde human boy talking to her. Matt Donovan was his name. Klaus walked over with his infamous smirk causing Caroline to groan. "I'll talk to you later Care." Matt said with a nod then walked back to the bar. Klaus took a seat across from her. "Hello love." "Klaus what a surprise. Normally you would just stay in the dark and watch me." The smirk on Klaus face dropped and just stared at her. "Never happened love." "Taking a break from torturing people?" "I haven't tortured anyone in quite awhile. Too busy with my brother and his love life."
"Hows Elena?" Caroline spoke up after a pregnant pause. He realized he had forgotten to inform her when Elena woke up. "Ah yeah she woke up." "What?! You didn't tell me!" "It slipped my mind love." Caroline growled at the hybrid and sighed. "I better go see her then." "Not a good idea right now. She and Elijah are having mate issues." "Mate issues?" "Yes arguments love." "Then she needs a friend!" "Oh come on love. She needs time to think" Caroline glared at Klaus. He was really annoying but she stayed. "Alright what is it you want?" "To show you i'm different than what you think." "Maybe some other time." "We both know that time will never come love" "Yes well I have issues with Tyler being away." "Ah well i'll leave you be for now. Just know that he was your first love and I intend to be your last." Klaus left the grill and the blonde who occupies his mind.
Stefan handed a cup of hot chocolate to the blonde original then took a seat beside her. "Well these past few days have been interesting." He said taking a sip from his cup of coffee. "Yes they have but I got a brother back so it was worth it." "Yeah I wonder where they rushed off too actually." Rebekah shrugged she honestly didn't care cause she got to spend time alone with Stefan. "So longing looks huh?" Stefan said smirking at her. She remember Kol mentioning the longing looks earlier and cussed under her breathe. A blush crept onto her face. She would have to kill her brother later. "W-what no.." Stefan just chuckled and pulled her towards him kissing her. Okay she would have to thank her brother later.
Elena didn't want to go back to the Salvatore Boarding house. Damon lived there and she couldn't face him after what he did to her. Yes Elijah made her defenseless but she understood why he did what he did. Damon on the other hand, handed her to death literally. He snapped her neck then gave her to the witch not to mention he ran off when he realized what the witch was planning. She blamed Damon more than she could blame Elijah because at the end of the day Elijah didn't hand her to the witch. Damon did. She had decided to just go to the lake house. The last time she went there was when Jeremy was trying to control the urges to kill her.
She stopped outside the door and just stared inside. She could feel the tears forming in her eyes at the thought of staying there when Jeremy was the last person there. She stepped inside and the place felt warm and safe. No one knew she was here so she would be fine. She needed to be alone right now. No interruptions or uninvited guests that would try to tell her she shouldn't be alone. No one to control her then make excuses up later. Just her and all her thoughts. She could also grieve over the loss of Jeremy without the no emotions. Everything would work out in the end. She knew it would.
She's not fine but she will be. In time.
I'm probably going to do a time jump because it's basically Elena figuring things out and getting over Elijah's betrayal. Soon they will be able to just have some time together without any drama. I promise that will come soon but for now I just need to have Elena have the time she needs. I hope you enjoyed this chapter! :)
