CHAPTER FOUR

Margot had spent the majority of the day with Elena in an attempt to keep her away from the tomb per Stefan's request. They had done everything young teenage girls did at sleepovers including boy talk/girl talk, movies, food (of course) and shit-talking Damon.

Now, after four movies the girls had decided to go downstairs and see Jenna after they heard her start banging around.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Elena asked as she watched her aunt pull boxes out of the closet.

The woman smiled, "Oh perfect timing. Hey, Margot."

The siphoner sent her a smile as she took one of the boxes from the strawberry blonde's hands. "What is all this stuff?"

"Elena's mom's files from the historical society. I got roped into helping Mrs. Lockwood-" she paused before quickly restating her sentence, "And by roped I mean I'm very excited to participate."

Jenna grinned as she stood up, closing the closet door only to reveal Elijah. Elena gasped, dropping a book from her hands while Margot glared at him.

"Hey, I'm Elijah," He greeted nonchalantly like he hadn't tried to kill them only a few days prior.

He noticed as Margot rolled her eyes, a small grin appearing on his face. He liked her sass. It reminded him of someone.

"Elijah's in town doing research on Mystic Falls," Jenna informed as she took the box from Margot's arms before walking into the kitchen, leaving Elijah alone with the two girls.

"It's a pleasure," He said as he held his hand out to Elena who reluctantly shook it before he turned to Margot, only for her to shake her head, "Germaphobe, sorry."

He only grinned as he put his hand down, holding it by his side, "Of course."

Jenna walked back into the hallway, standing beside Elena as she said, "So, you're welcome to stay here and rummage through this stuff. Or Maggie, Elena and I can help you load it into your car."

"Yeah, or I can get someone to pick it up tomorrow."

She smiled, "Heh. Also a good plan."

He moved to walk past them, "Well, thank you so much for inviting me into your home, Jenna. And Margot, I hope to see you soon."

The witch only rolled her eyes as the vampire walked out, Elena running up the stairs the second he did so while Jenna smiled at her. "He totally has the hots for you."

Margot chuckled, "Too bad for him. I'm not into the whole goody-two-shoes act. I'll be upstairs, see you for dinner, Jenna."

As soon as the siphoner got up the stairs she noticed Elijah holding Elena against the wall. "Really? Do you want me to hurt you that badly?" She asked as she walked closer.

He smiled at her, gently letting Elena go not wanting to be siphoned again. He had experienced many pains in his life and the worst ones were being daggered and being siphoned.

"Good boy. Now let's have a civil chat in Elena's room."

— — —

"Forgive the intrusion. I mean your family no harm," He said as he studied the doppelgangers bedroom.

"Why did you kill those vampires when they tried to take me?" Elena questioned as she closed the door, Margot standing by her side.

"Because I didn't want you to be taken. Klaus is the most feared and hated of the Originals, but those that fear him are desperate for his approval. If word gets out that the doppelgänger exists, there'll be a line of vampires eager to take you to him and I can't have that."
