I hope you enjoy this chapter. I've been writing it since like 4pm so it's been over an hour! o; ENJOY
The sun filtered through a small gap in the curtain. It lightened up her olive skin as she laid on the sofa. It had been a week since Elena decided to stay at the lake house. She never slept in the bed though as the last person to sleep in it was Jeremy. She groaned as the sun shone in her eyes causing her to sit up and glare at the curtain. No one had disturbed her which she was happy about and Elijah hadn't tried to talk to her which she was grateful for. She couldn't handle that since she was still figuring everything out.
She had no idea what to do and how it would effect her life. She could honestly say that what she felt for Elijah was deeper than the mating bond. She may be in love with the original but he betrayed her so she can't just go running into his arms. Everything with Stefan was past over especially since he was involved with Rebekah. Caroline mentioned that through text earlier in the week. She couldn't bring herself to mind it even though she probably should. Maybe she had moved past Stefan after all. Then there was Damon. He messed up big time this time and unlike every other time, she just couldn't forgive him. She loved him but was she in love with him? That was something else she had to figure out.
Kol was laid on the sofa staring at the fireplace bored. Elijah was on one of the single chairs reading his favorite book. "I'm quite bored brother. Can you stop reading that book? Don't you have a doppelganger to beg?" Elijah glared at his younger brother and closed the book laying it on his leg. "I am giving her the space she would like." "That's stupid. You have to fight for her!" Now Kol was trying to be the voice of reason? Something was wrong with his family. Elijah was about to say something but Rebekah came waltzing in wearing a shirt and jeans. "Good morning brothers!" She sounded cheerful. Both brothers exchanged glances before glancing back at their sister.
"Are you alright Rebekah?" Elijah questioned standing up. "Yes Elijah. I'm going out with Stefan soon." Kol smirked at his sister. "You look like a freshman in love sister." "Shut up Kol." She said with a growl. Elijah sighed and shook his head at his siblings. "Don't start both of you." He growled causing them both to stop. "Are you still moping over that doppelganger?" Rebekah said with annoyance in her voice. "Yes he is little sister." Kol said before Elijah could deny it. "You either get over it or go find her. There is no 3rd option you know!" She said throwing her hands up in frustration.
Before Elijah could reply Rebekah flashed out. Probably meeting Stefan or something. "She's right." Kol said getting up and walking out. Elijah ran a hand through his hair. "When did my family turn against me?!" He shouted from where he was standing near the fireplace. "No ones against you Elijah! We're just tired of you moping!" Klaus voice traveled to his ears from somewhere. "Yeah! Even Klaus doesn't mope this much over his blonde friend!" Kol yelled and the next morning there was a large bang in the kitchen. Probably Klaus tackling Kol to the ground from a chair. Elijah decided to leave them to it and just slip out. Family.
Elena was sat with a cup of coffee in her hand. It tasted different now that her senses were heightened. The coffee beans were easily tasted and she didn't enjoy it very much. "So this is where you've been hiding?" A voice came from behind her and she already knew who it was. She placed the cup down and turned her head to see them leaning against a wall. "Damon. Why are you here?" "You've been gone for a week Elena. Out of all places you could have gone you came here? Someone could easily come in uninvited!" "Someone has come in uninvited." She spat glaring at him. Damon frowned and walked closer to her.
"Elena i'm sorry for taking you to that witch. She said she would break the mating bond not kill you." He said looking in her eyes. She wasn't going to let him make his way back in her heart. It was different now. "You didn't even have the right to try get rid of the mating bond Damon!" She got up and flashed in front of him pushing him back. He looked at her darkly then shook his head. "I was doing what was best for you! He's an original!" "I don't care Damon! You was doing what was best for you!" This is why she didn't tell anyone but Caroline where she was. She didn't want the drama that seemed to never leave her alone. "I did it for us. I love you Elena!" "If you loved me you wouldn't try to control me Damon!" He was about to reply but he fell to the ground with his neck snapped. "Why the hell did you..!" She trailed off when she looked up at the person. Elijah.
"I'm sorry for the intrusion Elena." He said with his hands in his pockets. "Elijah.. W-what are you doing here?" She questioned still surprised that he was here. "I had to speak to you about the events that took place a week ago." He felt too ashamed to even look at her. "Did you have to snap his neck?" "Yes. He would have never left if he knew I was here." Elena nodded at his words. He was right. Damon would never leave if the person he tried to get her away from was there. "I don't think we have a lot to talk about but okay" She said biting her lip. She was fighting the urge to just hug him and tell him it's okay. It's still not okay but she'll work past that.
Elijah finally looked at her. He hadn't expected her to let him speak. He expected her telling him to leave or yelling at him for snapping the Salvatores neck. It was necessary. She looked at him expectantly. He came to talk and he was standing there in awe. "Elijah you can talk." She said with a small smile on her lips. "Right. Well I decided that I would give you your space." Elena nodded. She was grateful that he gave her space. "But i've been missing your company Elena. I want us to start again." "It's not that easy Elijah. You betrayed me as i've already said before. It'll take time." Elijah nodded in understanding. "Okay if that how it is then I will wait. But I won't give up on us Elena. I messed up and i'm going to make it right. Would you accompany me to dinner later this evening?" He suddenly asked taking her by surprise. Elena was hesitant but she nodded slowly "Sure." She wasn't going to give herself to him easily but a date couldn't hurt right? If it was a date that it.
A groan caught their attention and they both looked down to see Damon waking up. "Well I better depart. I will see you at 8pm lovely Elena." She nodded at him then in a blink of an eye he was gone. Damon's eyes snapped open and he jumped to his feet with a growl. "Where is he?!" Elena sighed and shook her head. "Gone like you should be." Damon looked at her with a frown but he left anyway. She was tired of him always being selfish.
Elena was staring at a blank screen. She didn't feel like turning the tv on at that moment. "Hello Darling" She turned to see Kol walking over with his infamous smirk. "Kol? What do I owe this visit." "Thought i'd come keep you company" She raised her eyebrow at him. "Elijah sent you didn't he?" "Yes. I was bored and he was worried about you being alone in an unowned house Darling." She chuckled and shook her head. "Everyone seems to be worried about that." "I don't think we're talking about Elijah anymore Darling." She just shrugged while he flopped down next to her. "You know I never got an apology for you trying to kill me." He said turning his head to hers. "Excuse me but if it wasn't for me you would still be dead Darling" She emphasized Darling in a way of mocking him. "Are you mocking me darling?!" He said with a fake hurt tone. She just chuckled and threw a pillow at him.
"I don't know how it's cause of you that i'm alive. It's cause of you that I almost died Darling." He said raising his eyebrow. "Well I may have told Elijah about killing you in the past so yeah I think I deserve a thank you and an apology." She said with a small smirk. "Well you're not getting it." Kol replied sticking his tongue out at her. "You child!" She grabbed a pillow and hit him with it causing him to grunt as it came in contact with his stomach. She laughed at him and stuck her tongue out like he previously did. "Ohh it's on darling." Kol smirked grabbing a pillow and hitting her back.
Maybe originals were not so bad. At least they weren't always murderous.
