Revenge on a Salvatore

You risked your life for me

What kind of promise would Elijah have made Elena? He saved us but why would Elena care what happens to me? Maybe she doesn't I was just there and I am related to Stefan and Damon so it was a package deal? Why wouldn't Elijah tell me? Does he or does he not want Klaus to do the ritual? Would Katherine have any idea?

"Hey." I turn to see Caroline at my door. Why is she here. I don't say anything, I waiti for her to talk.
"I just wanted to say thank you," she continues, "for fighting those werewolves for me."
"Don't worry about it," I brush her off hoping she will get the hint and leave.
"No, really," she persists, "we aren't friends and yet you risked your life for me."
I remain quiet for a bit and then I realise she might actually be able to help me.
"Actually, can I ask you something?" I ask, gesturing for her to come over.
"Sure," she says moving closer cautiously.
"I was just wondering if you could tell me what promise Elijah made to Elena?" I ask keeping my voice polite.
Caroline looks at me as of trying to read my mind, "Elena promised that if she didn't run and kept herself safe, he would ensure the safety of the ones she cares about."
Dammit, if I want to do anything I'm going to have to deal with Elijah.
"I'm sure it includes you too," Caroline reassured me, I'm not worried about Elijah hurting me, he promised he would take care of me always and forever and I believe him.
"Thanks," I smile at Caroline
Elijah treats me and cares for me like a baby sister and I love it most of the time, kind of as a replacement for Damon and Stefan but being stuck at 15 forever makes people not take me seriously especially Elijah, to him I may as well be five years old.
Caroline nods and takes my silence as a sign to leave.
My phone starts buzzing so I grab it, it's Matt.
"Wanna go to the Grill?"
"Sure" I type back.
-------------------------
I'm waiting at the Grill for Matt, he is taking his sweet freaking time. Finally I hear his car pull up.
He slides next to me in the booth instead of across from me, I have to physically stop myself from recoiling.
"Hey," he smiles.
"Hey" I try my best to look happy and excited.
"Hungry?" He asks.
"Absolutely," I smile back at him.
We order our food and the questions begin.
"Why didn't you come back to Mystic Falls with your brothers?" Matt asks taking a bite of his burger.
I take a deep breathe and try to be patient and calm.
"It's a long story," I begin.
"We have time," Matt says.
"We'll back in 1864 neither Damon or I didn't want to turn but Stefan forced it upon Damon and then he," I pause to centre myself, "he and Stefan used the body of my dead best friend to force me to turn."
Matt clearly doesn't know what to say. We sit in silence for a while before he says, "sorry I had no idea."
I don't know what I wanted to hear but that wasn't it.
"Nothing you can do about it now," I sigh and shrug my shoulders. He puts his arm around me and rubs my arm. I know he is trying to help but it's just making me uncomfortable, despite that I want him to think I'm into him. I rest my head in his shoulder. We just eat and chat about school for a while.
