one - "klaus"

[Salvatore House]

Third person POV (until mentioned otherwise)

Elena Gilbert was sitting against the wall in the basement of Salvatore house with a silver dagger in her hand. She knew it was stupid to wake up an original vampire who she had daggered. She still remembered the look of betrayal on his face. She knew he could snap her like a twig.

Elijah's body was still on the floor desiccated. His clothes were burned, his skin was grey and covered in veins. Elena didn't know what she was doing was a good idea or not, anymore. But he was the last choice she has if she wanted to save her life and her friends life. She was hoping Stefan or Damon wouldn't find out what she was up to.

She was still contemplating her choice looking at the still original when suddenly Elijah gasped loudly making her gasp in fear. She walked in hurry towards the original who was now contacting and gasping on the floor. She put a hand on his shoulder who was still looking around with wide eyes and a crazed look in his eyes. He set his eyes on Elena feeling her touch.

"Elijah." Elena whispered to him but he was still looking at her with wide eyes and whispering, "No. No. No." He then said something to Elena which confused her, "Katerina."

England, 1492

It was the day of Klaus's birthday. A ball was arranged for the celebration. Elijah was waiting with a lord for Klaus to make a grand entrance. After some time a good friend and a loyal servant walked towards him. Elijah turned towards him and greeted him with a small smile, "Ah! Good evening, Trevor." Trevor looked at Elijah and turned towards the lord he was speaking to. They nodded to each other with respect before leaving Trevor with Elijah. Elijah said to said, "I'm pleased you could join us."

Trevor looked at Elijah and replied him smiling, "I could not miss the birthday celebration."

"Now considering the gift you claim to bear." Elijah said taking a step towards Trevor with a blank look on his face. He looked over the shoulder of Trevor and asked him, "Where is this mystery girl of which you speak?"

Trevor motioned with his hand towards the many lords and ladies in the party still looking at Elijah, "Right this way." Elijah followed Trevor with an amused expression. In his sight came the back of a woman who was talking to some woman. Trevor touched the arm of the woman and said gesturing her towards Elijah, "My dear."

Elijah's heart dropped to his stomach as the woman turned around. He saw a woman with Tatia's face showing her Bulgarian glamour. "Hello." Katerina greeted the noble original with a unique innocence on her face.

Elena had no idea what was going on with Elijah. She was desperately trying to make him recognize her before either Stefan or Damon found out what was she up to, "Elijah. It's me. It's Elena." But he was looking at her still stuck in his memories of her, the woman he loved and betrayed him. Elena shushed him pacing a finger on her lips. He whispered, "Oh my god."

Elijah spoke controlling his emotions and putting on a small smile, "Forgive me, you remind me of someone."

"Katerina." Her head snapped towards Trevor hearing his voice. He continued, "May I introduce the lord Elijah!" She looked at Elijah in wonder as he held up his hand in greeting waiting for her to settle her's into his hand for a proper greeting.

She bowed and put her hand in his. "Pleasure, my lord." He put his lips on her silky and smooth skin of her hand and said, "Pleasure is mine, Katerina." She watched his every move holding eye contact.

Back at Salvatore house, Elijah's head fell back and he fainted. She looked at the dagger in her hands and then behind her to see no one. She put her hand on his neck as he suddenly moved sideways harshly making her back away into the boulder. His bones snapped as he used his hands to push himself upwards to stand up.
