"IF I TELL YOU something, do you promise to keep it to yourself?" Juliette questioned, raising her eyebrows at the Original Vampire. She didn't know why she was confiding in him, she barely knew him, but yet she knew everything about him.

She knew his fears, weaknesses, what made him happy, his flaws and his perfections. Despite their situation, she tried to push these thoughts aside. He was the bad guy. It didn't matter whether he made a deal with Elena or not.

Eventually, if he doesn't get his way, he will hurt one of her friends.

"Of course." Elijah nodded, a hint of concern in his eyes as he watched Juliette look around the woods surrounding them before she walked over to some rocks by a little stream. She sat down with her knees to her chest as she watched the water flow past her.

Elijah soon followed after her, sitting next to her. A sense of deja vu fills him—they have been in this position before in their dreams, in the field of course. They would sit in the same place for hours while they talked.

It was mostly Juliette who spoke and Elijah just admired her. He was completely fascinated by her, he loved the way she had dimples on her cheeks whenever she smiled, and when she was concentrating on something, she would stick her tongue out, almost like it made her more focused.
