She was seated on Alaric's bed, hugging the blanket to herself like somebody was going to take it from her.
Her eyes were red like blood and her mind was wandering through the day's events, not able to perceive the reality around her.
Except for her brothers' voices.
"Oh my God, Alex!"
They run to her immediately and embraced her tightly, each brother engulfing a side of hers.
"We were so worried about you," whispered Gabriel and glanced at their brother from behind her head. "The way you passed out when Damon killed Elijah... we believed you were dead too, for a moment."
Alexandra glanced ahead, unmoved. "So, it wasn't a nightmare," she whispered in a hoarse voice after many hours of muteness.
The two males pulled away from her but not entirely when Alaric appeared in the doorway, his expression one of sadness and concern.
Her eyes brimmed with tears. "It was him, Nate, I know it. I felt it in my heart, it was truly him." She squeezed their hands and began crying. "Since the moment I was told about the Soulmate Bond, I was being tormented daily, primarily when I was involved with Daniel- my heart was torn apart every time I pondered over the possibility of meeting my soulmate while I was still with him.
"After all that phycological torment, the fights with Daniel, the secrets, the dreams, the prophecies, I came to learn that the sole person who was supposed to be my significant other for life, was the very same man who wished death upon my friend in order to break a bloody curse, which I don't even know if it is real! And apart from all that, he was killed on the very same day I came upon him!"
The Bloodwood males shared a concerned look.
Should they reveal to her that Elijah was not dead or not?
They trusted that it would be better for their little sister, to not know the truth because she would feel at least a tad alleviated from all that anxiety and pressure.
But what if Elijah decided to make himself a part of her life no matter what?

The night was horrid for everyone.
Stefan and Damon had acquired Elena from her house - much to her displeasure - and met Rose and Trevor (who were there before the sun had risen) at the Bloodwoods' ɴᴇwʟʏ ʀᴇɴᴏᴠᴀᴛᴇᴅ ʀᴇsɪᴅᴇɴᴄᴇ, so to speak of the new villain in their story; Klaus.
