Once we got back from the weird encounter with Elijah at the apartment, Damon proceeded to tell us about Stefan being stuck in the tomb with Kathrine. Elena was obviously not happy about this, so Damon attempts to keep her away from the tomb by locking her in the house. I was okay with this because I knew Elena would try something if Damon didn't stop her. Bonnie told them that the moonstone was binding the curse, so she was going to try a spell to unbind it. I was still upset with Elena for the stunt she pulled at the apartment. Jeremy and I were staying at home with Elena all day to make sure she didn't do anything stupid. Getting out of the shower, I got dressed for the day even though I wasn't planning on going anywhere. I was starving, so I went to see if Elena wanted anything to eat.

Knocking, opening her door, and sticking my head in. "Elena, I'm starving, I'm going to go make something to eat. Want some?" Watching as Elena closed her journal and nods, standing up. "Yea, that sounds great, actually." She says as she follows me out of the room. As we were walking downstairs, we heard noise from the kitchen. Walking to the kitchen to find their aunt rifling through boxes from the closet. "What are you doing?" Elena asked, causing our aunt to look up at us. "Oh, perfect timing." Handing each of them a box full of random items they had never seen before. "What is this?" I asked, looking through the box. "Your mom's files fromt he historical society." Jenna replied as she went through papers as Elena and I shared a confused glance. "I got roped into helping Mrs. Lockwood." Jenna finishes as I nod, knowing how much help Mrs. Lockwood probably needs it right now. "And by roped, I mean, very excited to participate." Jenna said, closing the closet door, a quiet gasp leaving me at what I saw.

Elijah was standing directly behind the door, smiling at Elena and I as he casually leaved against the wall. "Hey, I'm Elijah." He stated, acting as if he had no idea who we were. I swallowed a lump in my throat, meeting his gaze. Having no idea why he was there. Having been invited into the house, which was not good. "It's a pleasure." Elijah spoke up, walking over to Elena and I, so he was only a few inches away. He held out his hand to Elena first, but she was hesitant to take it. But she shook his hand anyways knowing Jenna was watching. Then Elijah turned his attention to me, holding his hand out as he offered a smile. I felt like I was lost in a trance. He was the most handsome man I have ever met, I felt like I couldn't tear my eyes away. I know I shouldn't be feeling the things I do toward him, especially since he is after my sister, but I felt drawn to him like a moth to a flame. Reaching my hand out and grasping his, I felt electricity flow through me at our touch, and I blushed and tried to cover it up with a cough, pulling my hand away and stuffing it in my pocket.

"You know, you're welcome to stay here and rummage through this stuff, or Zander, Elena, and I could help you load it into your car." Jenna spoke up, breaking mine and Elijah's locked eyes. Jenna walked over to stand next to us. Elijah turned to her, smiling slightly as he looked down at her. "Yea, or I could get somebody to pick it up tomorrow." Elijah replied, shrugging his shoulders as if it wasn't a big deal. "Also a good idea." Jenna laughed as she spoke. "Thank you so much for inviting me into your home, Jenna." Elijah followed Jenna to the doorway. "And Zander, Elena." Elijah spoke up, turning to us as I crossed my arms. "I hope to see you again sometime soon." He glanced over the both of us before saying goodbye to Jenna and walking out the door. "Stay here, I just need to make sure Jeremy is okay." Elena said quietly to me. I nod slightly, watching her go up the stairs. "So... he seems nice." I spoke up, clearing my throat slightly as Jenna shut the door. "Oh, Yeah, He's been really helpful." Jenna smile at me. "Don't pretend, i didn't see the way you looked at him." She continued. I rub the back of my neck and blush. "I don't know what your talking about aunt Jenna." She scoffs, crossing her arms. "Puh-lease, you are so into him!" She retarded. I just shake my head not meeting her eyes as i look anywhere but her. Jenna rolls her eyes,but dropping the subject. "I don't know about you but i am starving." Jenna said, causing me to laugh softly. "I'm gonna make some dinner, do you want some?" Jenna asks. I nod, kind of glad she was going to make food instead of me. "Yea, that sounds great." I reply, biting my lower lip as i thought of Elena. "I'll go see if Elena wants some." Jenna nods, walking into the kitchen to go clean up and then prepare dinner. I quickly made my way towards the stairs, silently praying that Elijah wasn't nearby to have heard that conversation. As soon as I reached the bottom of the stairs, I run into Jeremy. "Jeremy, are you alright?" I asked, quickly scanning my eyes over him to make sure.
