I don't own TVD..
Soon after the ball started and Elijah greeted a few guest, he went to get Elena. As they walked down the stairs together arms linked everyone stopped and stared including all her friends.
Elijah: By the looks of it everyone loves your dress.
They both looked over at everyone looking up at them.
Elena: They all are just looking at us. I guess I can mark off making a big entrance from my bucket list.
Once they got to the bottom of the stairs Elijah stopped in front of Elena.
Elijah: Either way you still look beautiful as always.
Elijah smiled at her and she smiled back.
Elena: Why thank you, mr. Mikaelson.
Elena smiled. Elijah brought her hand up to his lips and placed a kiss on it which made Elena smile.
Elijah: My pleasure, miss. Gilbert.
Caroline walked up.
Caroline: Can I steal Elena for a moment?
Elijah: Of course.
He looked at Elena and smiled.
Elena: Save me a dance?
Elijah: How can I say no.
After Elijah walked away talking a few steps back from the staircase Caroline started talking Elena.
Caroline: What was that all about?
Elena: What was what all about?
Caroline: You and Elijah. What's going between you two? And why did you come from the stairs and not the front door?
Elena: We was walking and talking. Nothing is going on between us. And that's part of what I'll be telling you tomorrow evening.
Caroline looked her best friend over before smiling and hugging her.
After Elijah made the announcement he made his way to Elena.
Elijah: May I have this dance?
He held his hand for Elena to take.
Elena: You may.
Elena smiled and took his hand in hers.
Elijah: I see the Salvatore brothers haven't been able to take their eyes off you all night.
He said looking up at the two before looking back at her.
Elena: They're only here because they think Esther is going to do something to me.
Elijah: Speaking of my mother.
Elena: I haven't talked to her yet, but I will after this dance.
Elijah: Well who am I to keep you waiting?
He smiled and twirled her out and back with his arms around her waist causing her to giggle. Which made Damon roll his eyes. Elena turned around to face Elijah.
Elena: Who knew the noble Elijah was such a good dancer.
They both smiled.
Elijah: There's lots of things you don't know about me.
Elena: That can change. You already know a lot about me, it's only fair if I know a lot about you.
Her smile dropped as soon as the music stopped.
Elijah: Is there something wrong?
Elena: No, it's time for me to talk with your mother. Walk me to stairs? Don't want a Salvatore brother stopping me along the way.
Elijah: Of course.
Klaus: Tell me brother. Have you fallen in love with Elena yet?
Elijah rolled his eyes and turned to face his brother.
Elijah: Tell me brother. Why would I tell you if I have or not?
Klaus smirked his famous smirk.
Klaus: Fine by me brother.
Damon: Do you know if there's something going on between Elena and Elijah?
Caroline: No I don't. And even if I did I wouldn't tell you.
Damon: And why not? It's just a question.
Caroline frowned at Damon.
Caroline: You know why! You'll do something stupid and act out.
Damon rolled his eyes.
Elijah: So how was my mother?
Elena: Intense.
Elijah: And for what reason did she need to speak with you in private?
Elijah offers her a glass of champagne. Elena notices Esther on the staircase looking at her.
Elijah: Elena? Should I be concerned about my mother's intentions?
Elena: She just wanted to apologize for trying to have me killed.
Elijah: So it's true, then? She's forgiven Klaus?
Elena: It's true.
Esther finished her announcement and before Elijah could take a sip Elena wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. She kissed him on his jawline up to his ear.
Elena: Don't drink it.
The pretended to drink it. They turned around and pour their drinks in a nearby plant and place their empty cups on tray.
Elena: We might need to move.
Elena grabs his hands
Elena: We need to find Klaus now.
They stopped walking and looked around until they spotted Klaus. They started walking his way until Damon stepped in the way.
Damon: I think it's time go. Come on I'll take you home.
Elena: No Damon I'm not going home. Now if you can leave me alone and move, I need to talk to Klaus.
Damon: Talk to Klaus?! Are you crazy?!
Elena rolled her eyes.
Elena: No Damon I'm not.
Damon: Then lets go.
Before Elijah could step up and say something Klaus came up.
Klaus: I believe she said leave her alone.
Damon turned around and looked at Klaus.
Damon: What do you care?
Klaus: I don't. But it's come to my understanding that when a woman says no they mean no. And whatever she needs to talk about must be really important especially if she needs to discuss it with of all people. Leave before I make you leave.
Damon: Whatever. You got 15 minutes and then we're leaving.
Damon walks away.
Klaus: Alright what do you need to talk to me about?
Elena: Not in here. I need you to get Kol and Rebekah and meet me and Elijah outside now.
Klaus: This isn't another one of your plans is it?
Elena: No it's not. I need you to get them and me is outside. And no matter what don't let Esther or Finn see you and don't bring Finn with you.
Elena went outside with Elijah and they waited for others. Klaus went to fetch the rest of his siblings for except Finn they all went outside unnoticed.
Klaus: Alright I did what you said. Now what's this about?
Rebekah: Yeah, What is about this about.
Elena rolled her eyes and looked to Elijah before looking back at them.
Elena: I don't know if any of you know but your mom requested to speak to me privately tonight.
Kol: What about?
Elena: Elijah thought she was up to something so he asked me to report back. She wanted my blood for a spell to bind all of you. She doesn't just wanna kill Klaus...she wants to kill you all. And if one of you die, so does your whole bloodline, including my friends.
Elijah just remained quiet, taking it in.
Rebekah: And why couldn't we bring Finn with us?
Elena: He's apart of it. He's working with your mom. All of you had to drink it in order for it to work. I stopped Elijah before he could so the spell won't work.
Elena looked over at Elijah who was just staring off in the distance. Still holding hands, she squeezed his hand lightly to comfort him and pull his attention back.
Kol: What are your other reasons for stopping the spell?
Elena: I didn't want all of you to die. I like Elijah and Rebekah... Klaus not so much. And you...I don't even know you to want you dead. With that said we need a plan.
Elijah: What do you suggest?
Finally speaking up.
Elena: Kill them. One you need to kill Finn while another kills Esther. Feed Esther your blood and then kill her so she won't come back ever.
Klaus: I say we put Esther in a coffin after and have it spelled shut.
Rebekah: I say we bloody have her burried under cement after that.
Kol: We should get started on it now before they notice anything.
Klaus: I'll take care of mother myself.
Rebekah: And I'll take care of Finn.
Elijah: The rest of us act normal. If anyone ask about mother and and Finn, tell them their unavailable.
Rebekah: I have one more question.
Klaus: Well What is it?
Rebekah: Why have you two been holding hand this whole time?
Klaus: Ahh yes. They been holding hands since they came looking for me earlier.
Klaus smirked. Elena and Elijah looked down at their hands then each other. Before one of them could say anything Damon walked up.
Damon: So you've been playing family with the maniacs.
Elena: What are you doing here Damon?
Damon: Your 15 minuets are up. We're leaving.
He reached for her arm but she pulled back.
Elena: I'm not going anymore Damon. So go home.
Damon: I'm not leaving here without you. You can either leave willing or I can put over my shoulder.
When she didn't say anything he started walking closer. Elijah stepped in front of Elena.
Elijah: I believe she doesn't want go.
Damon: What are you gonna do about it?
Elijah: You can either leave on your own or I can make you.
Rebekah stepped up.
Rebekah: Go home Damon before we make you.
Damon looked at her surprised.
Damon: Since when did you two become friends? I could see if you were family but then again your not.
Kol: Elena has done something tonight to make her be considered family to us.
Klaus: And if you come for one of us you-
Elijah: Come for us all.
Elena: So What will it be Damon? Are you really gonna risk dying to try and force me to go with you?
Damon: You can't trust them Elena! Are you really gonna risk it with these people.
Elena: Look around Damon. If they were gonna harm me wouldn't they have done it by now? Instead them standing here right now protecting me from you. You know what right now I can't trust you not to leave without me or try to come back for me. Compel him. Compel him to leave and to not come back.
After Damon left with Stefan, they all went back inside and successfully went through the plan by the time the ball was over.
Elijah: Hey.
Leaning on her doorframe.
Elena: Hey. What are you doing here?
She smiled.
Elijah: Living up to my end of the deal.
Elena: Oh yeah. Well come in, I'm ready.
Elijah: Elena, there's something you should know before hand.
Elena: What is it?
Elijah: Since your a doppelgänger, when I turn you there's gonna be sire bond formed between us.
Elena: Like Klaus And his hybrids?
Elijah gave nod.
Elijah: Yes Elena.
Elena: Well I can't think of a better person to be sired to.
Elena had smile on her face. Elijah took a step forward hand in pocket.
Elijah: Are sure about this?
Elena: I'm sure.
Elijah fed her his blood and snapped her neck. She woke up 15 minutes later.
Elijah: Welcome back.
Elena: Hey.
Elijah hands Elena a blood bag and she takes it, smiling.
Elena: Thanks.
Elijah: Anytime. We'll start training early tomorrow morning.
