"Elena. Elena, my love. It's time to wake up. We have a special little girl we have to go see." I looked up at him. I'd fallen asleep. I sat up, stretching. I got up off the couch and looked at his face. He had such blue eyes. Like the sky. I found myself falling in love with the man I know I shouldn't be falling in love with. There was just something about him that told me to run from him and never look back. But there was something about him that asked me to stay with him. "Elena, come on." I shook my head to clear my thoughts and walked after him and into his garage. Wait a minute.

"Aren't you on probation?"

"So? I got us some time. We need to hurry though because I need to get more than just an opened wound today. Besides, I could just compel the cop to let me go."

"Why can't we go to the bar first then?" I asked, combing my hair from the tangles. He looked at me.

"Would you like some help? The reason being is that my girl doesn't work at night."

"Well I thought I was your girl."

"Don't tell me your jealous." He smirked and I felt myself blush. That was what I was feeling? I laughed.

"No! I'm not jealous."

"Yes you are. Don't worry. I love YOU. This girl is mine for a different reason. Or maybe I should rephrase entirely. I meant to say that this girl is Curtis' girl. She is with that boy I showed you. The one who called pics on me."

"Oh." I felt him take my brush and comb my hair himself. It was done before I even had time to tell him thank you. "Thank you."

"No problem." I grabbed his face and kissed his cheek. Not daring to kiss him yet. He'd probably think it was coming from Aurora instead of Elena. Since we were 'supposed' to be together.

"Well what's the plan anyway?"

"The plan is that YOU drove ME there. Everyone thinks I'm in jail. So you'll see where we have the advantage." He smirked at me. I blushed again. This man isn't evil is he? I haven't seen a thing that said he was, besides for his anger problems but we could work on that later. "My name is Alex, because I need a different name than before when I first came over. Now YOU are going to be surprised if they call me Tony Reece. Hear me? That part is CRUCIAL to you not being pegged as my accomplice."

"Why does it sound like you've planned this all before?"

"That would be because it's the easiest way to come face to face with her. Now I'm going to limp and you are going to help me." He winked at me and I smiled back at him. He parked and I saw we were already at the hospital. He drank something from a vial, coughing a bit before he took his jacket off and scratched himself enough to bleed almost heavily.

"Are you CRAZY?!"

"No worries, love. It'll heal just in time for her to get to me. If you know what I mean. Which by your facial expression, you don't. Just do as I told you." I grabbed his hand as he was washing it off with a water bottle.

"Klaus! Couldn't we just go to her house?"

"We could. But she's not home. This is her shift hours." He got out and staggered. I ran over and helped him to stand. "Now take me inside. This IS her speciality. They'll have no CHOICE but to send her to me. Then I'll be healed. I drank vervain which would slow down my healing process but not that much. Now hurry up. I'm dying." He smiled at me and I helped him into the hospital.

"This man needs help! Please!" I begged and they took him away, leaving me where I was. I tried to follow him but they kept me where I was, telling me he'd be fine. I paced, trying to get in but they stopped me again so I just went and sat down by the door, tapping my fingers, eager to see if he was going to be okay.

(Klaus POV)

I was lying on a gurney with my shirt cut open. I frowned. I liked that shirt. Oh well. Crystal will fix it. Alice came over and when she did, I covered up my stomach. She was the one sent to deal with my small wound. It healed under my shirt and I compelled anyone who touched me that I wasn't bleeding and not to say it of course.

I smiled at her as she looked at my wound. I compelled her immediately to just go get me a drink, giving her money for a soda. Hmm. This wouldn't go down as it did last time.

When she came back she had my drink and was trying to politely offer it to me. I smiled again, taking it. "Well if that will be all. I'll just be going then."

"Aw, no. I need your help." I stood up. Putting the drink down I closed the curtain. "I got me into some trouble with this big chap who thinks he's all that and I was wondering if you have any experience." I looked at her and she frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"Why, haven't everyone heard of 'im?"

"Who?"

"Tony. Of course. Who else do you think could escape the jail without gettin' caugh'?" I asked.

"Tony? Reece? Tony Reece?" She was terrified now.

"Wha? He got some reason to chase you down too?" I asked, trying my best to copy her fear. But instead all I got was a smile and a chuckle. She gasped, horrified. I grabbed her hands and shoved her out of sight. "Now listen here, love. You don't want to go making trouble for me alright? I been to see your man already." She looked away from me and I moved my head to get her eyesight again. "I've been wanting to come see you again. Te both of you. I mean I got sent to jail because of your chap you know? I was let off for parole but I got me another fine piece of jewellery cause of you." I held up my wrist and she gasped, finding it to be true. "You see why? 'Cause I didn't really do nothing did I? I was there, but I dint really kill that kid, it was me mate.'"

"Who?"

"'You don't need to know that.'"

"Please don't hurt me." She begged.

"Oh, don't worry. I'm not really here for ya yet. I just want ta tell ya the good news." I chuckled for a minute before regaining my composer. I still had Elena and I couldn't stay here too long anyway. "'Now be ready to tell me any time where you live.'"

"I've not moved. But I'm gettin' married."

"Ah yes. 'Well you make sure to stay at Curtis' house'. Will ya?"

"Of course."

"Well I gotta go. Kiss me bye." I grabbed my drink and before I actually left she did kiss me bye but that wasn't what I meant. That was my good bye. No one knew so I didn't really need my gun did I? I walked back to the entrance and grabbed Elena, carrying my shirt. It'd been cut open. I'd forgotten about that. I put my jacket on to cover up my chest and buttoned it as high as it'd go.

(Elena POV)

"So how are you?" I asked, worried.

"I'm good. Now DRIVE. I need to go home. I don't want to be caught out of my house by the pics or that girl. I could easily kill her but she's my friend's mother. I don't want to do that to her so the best option is to keep her happy as long as possible as I care to. When I don't just take the earful and then shoot something later on."

"Excuse me? What are you talking about shooting something?"

"Take my rage out on something. Use your brain Elena."

"I AM using my brain and it's NOT right to just shoot OR kill someone OR something just because your ANGRY." he laughed at me. When he calmed down I stared at him but he grabbed my chin and forced me to look back at the road.

"Not until we reach the house again. Besides, I need Riley to come off and hand over something to sell so I can have more money."

"I thought you were rich."

"STOP QUESTIONING ME! Do you want to have fun or what?"

"That is the problem Klaus! NO ONE has EVER questioned you!"

"What? And YOU should?"

"Well if no one else will, I have to!"

"HAH! You make me laugh!"

"I'm being SERIOUS Klaus!"

"I know you are. Now park the car." I parked the car and got out, slamming the door as I went. He sighed. "Elena, wait." I opened the garage door and slammed it in his face. He quickly opened it. "ELENA! WAIT!" I shook my head and ran up to my room, slamming that door as well and falling onto my bed.
