Unexpected love

Chapter 4

Stefan stood glaring at Elijah as he smirked at him.

"How are you alive?" Stefan asked questioning him, he was so sure Damon killed this guy.

"Technically I'm dead, have been for centuries." Stefan glared at him.

"I'll ask you again, what the hell are you doing in here with my girlfriend?" Stefan repeated, taking a threatening step forward towards Elijah.

"Elena invited me in." Elijah smirked as he said this knowing it would get to Stefan. "She was unwell so I helped her to bed."

"Elena would never invite you in, she would know the type of danger she'd be getting herself into if she did." Stefan reassured more himself then Elijah, concerned for his relationship.

"How do you suppose I got in then?" Elijah asked him, Stefan sighed. He knew the only way that Elijah got in was being invited in and the only person here to do that was Elena.

"Get out." Stefan demanded, Elijah rolled his and turned to continue look at Elena, her peaceful structure brought some kind of relief to him. "I don't know if you heard me correctly but I said get out." Stefan yelled as he grabbed Elijah's arm and ragged him away from Elena. Elijah immediately grabbed Stefan's neck and pinned him against the wall.

"Do not ever try and attack me again! You'll end up hurting yourself, and because you're important to Elena, I don't want to hurt you for her sake." Stefan held a shocked expression.

How could he care for her in such a short amount of time, Stefan thought. He wasn't normally a jealous person but the way Elijah looked and cared for the girl he loved was really getting to him.

"Just tell Elena that I'll check on her later" Elijah sighed as he began to walk towards the door.

"If you knew what is good for you, Elijah, you won't come back." Stefan threatened. Elijah rolled his eyes, he ignored the comment as he left the house using his vamp speed.

Later...

Elena groaned waking up from her sleep upon hearing inconsistant yelling coming from downstairs. She got up and walked downstairs, the curiosity of who was arguing was getting the better of her. She walked half way down the stairs to see both Damon and Stefan.

"And you didn't kill him?!" Damon yelled, clearly angry. "He was right here with her, and you didn't kill him? Now he's invited in he could come and hurt her, you idiot!"

"I didn't think of that, all I thought about was how sick Elena was." Stefan argued back. "She doesn't deserve to have to clean up blood when shes sick Damon."

"If it protects her we have to do it Stefan!" Damon yelled, Elena could sense the frustration in his voice, she decided this would be the best time to show her face. As she walked in the room, both Stefan and Damon walked over to her both trying to help her sit down. Elena could they were both worried but she felt fine. 

"I'm fine boys, don't worry." They both sheepishly smiled at her as they sat down beside her. "Stefan I think it's good that you didn't kill Elijah, but I can also understand Damon's point of view. To him you put me in danger but to you, you protected my health." Both of them smiled.
