GILBERT HOUSE

Isla jogs down the stairs holding fresh clothes for Elena when she spots Elijah standing in the doorway

Elijah: Hello Isla

Isla drops the clothes and walks closer to the "noble" one and glares.

Isla: He's gone this time. What do you want?

Elijah: You know what I want. Let me in.

KITCHEN

Elijah, Matt, Stefan, Isla, and Elena are together in the kitchen.

Elijah: All we need is to take that stake away from him. Once he's been disarmed, the weapon's in my possession, my family will scatter to the ends of the Earth and Alaric will follow us.

Stefan: So you'll just run?

He sits down

Isla: They've done it before. Me, Klaus, and Rebekah spent a long time running from Mikael. Though you did leave my son to die when you ran from New Orleans. I'll have to run to

Elena: I'll come with you

Isla: No.

Elena: Yes I can and you'll protect me.

Isla: Darling, trust me you don't want to spend the rest of your days running. We can text and I'll visit you every chance I can.

Elena: We've finally stopped him, Elijah. After everything that he's done to us, I can't just let you bring him back.

Elijah: I give you my word, Elena. I will not revive Klaus within yours nor even within your children's lifetimes. Perhaps that will finally teach him some manners.

Matt: Why should she trust you? All you've done is screw her over.

Isla: Why is he here?

Stefan: I don't know. No one actually likes him.

Elijah: And for that, I am deeply ashamed. But know this, she could have been dead the instant I walked through that door tonight, so Elena, I leave it to you to make the decision whether to trust me or not.

Elijah: Rebekah and Kol will honor the terms. If you return Klaus' body to us, Elena will come to no harm.

Elena looks at Isla who lifts her hand to her lips

Isla: Darling, it's your choice.

Elena: Why do you want Klaus' body?

Elijah: He's my brother. We remain together.

Elena: [sighs] We have a deal.

ELENA'S BEDROOM

Isla walks into the bedroom finding her sitting on her bed staring into the mirror

Isla: Hey

She closes the door behind her, Elena looks at her with a sad smile. The blonde sits down beside her and Elena lays her head on her shoulder.

Isla: Are you okay?

Elena: No. I hate living like this and I wish you didn't have to leave me. I wish you could stay with me.

Isla: Me too

She pulls a ring out of her purse and kneels down in front of her

Elena: Isla? What are you doing?

Isla: This isn't me proposing to you but will you be mine?

Elena nods and Isla slides the ring onto her finger then stands up and cups Elena's face kissing her as Elena wraps her arms around her neck.

Isla: God you're so beautiful.

They climb into bed curling up against each other.
