Elena's Point Of View

I groaned in pain as I tossed and turned in my bed. I was waking up and the pain was too. The events of last night kept replaying in my head, not letting me forget that my child was now dead, and never to be born. I opened my eyes slowly, to find an empty room. I let out a sigh and get up slowly, wincing in pain. It hurt to move, breath, blink...

I walk down the stairs however my legs give way causing me to slip on the stairs. I scream and try and reach for the bannister but by that time I am lying on the floor at the bottom of the stairs...well at least I was downstairs. I groan and get up again only to feel a strong pair of arms around me this time that had lifted me completely off the ground, I look up to see Kol and I instantly smile. I lean my head on his chest, being fairly petite compared to himself, and stay silent, ashamed that I cannot walk down the stairs without falling.

Kol smiled and kissed my head, "Darling, the next time you want to come downstairs or even move, call me, I don't want you getting yourself hurt." I roll my eyes at that statement. 

"The house felt empty when I woke up...so I sort of just got up...despite the pain..." I murmured against his chest. 

He sighed and sat on the couch with me curled up in his lap. I wince a little, and try to relax myself from the constant pain flowing through my body. 

"I am not leaving this house without you again, darling. Not after last night...I shouldn't have left you." Kol leant his head on my head. I could sense that he was feeling guilty for leaving me.

I use the energy I have to sit up and face him, "Listen to me Kol, what happened last night wasn't your fault. You went out to kill Mikael, you didn't know what he was going to do. I am alive and okay, and you are unharmed."

Kol shook his head before wrapping his arms around me protectively, and kissing my forehead, and keeping me close to him. I felt safe for once. 

"Hey darling...you know when we talked about me turning you and us being together forever..."

 I knew where he was going with this, "Kol, I love you so much, and all I want is to be with you."

He kissed my head, "I love you too darling." 

"Well, this is all very exciting, but Mikael is still out there and we need to get rid of him." 

I look up a little to see Klaus sit on the other couch, "I would love to help Klaus but I will be useless."

Klaus smiled a little, "Kol?"

Kol instantly shook his head, "I can't let Elena get hurt again."

Klaus groaned, "Fine. I will ask Elijah." He walked off, in a huff.

I smirked a little, before closing my eyes once again. I desperately wanted to stay awake, scared of what I would dream of if I fell asleep...but it was too late for that. I drifted off into the darkness.

"Run!" I scream at myself. I run and run as fast as I can but every time I look behind me, the figure is getting closer to me. I cannot outrun whatever is chasing me. I look ahead of me and see a crib. I frown and go up to it, before seeing a baby lying within the covers, in a sleep like position. I slow down to walking speed, going over to the crib only to find the baby is dead. 

I scream and turn around in horror hearing a voice laugh, "Your baby didn't deserve to live. It would have lived to be a monster just like the bastard son of mine!"  

Mikael.

My face fills with horror and fear, before turning around and seeing Klaus with blood covering his mouth area. Klaus smiled and stepped towards me, and I back away, feeling more scared than I have in my life. I back away more turning around to run before bumping into a taller figure. I wince and look up to see Kol's face looking down at me, I feel blood drop on my face. I scream in fear and horror.

"Darling...darling, please wake up, hey it's just a nightmare..." 

I gasp and wake up suddenly before seeing Kol and breathing a sigh of relief. I curl up in his lap. "I..." I trail off, not wanting to repeat what happened in the dream.

"Hey...it's okay, whatever happened, whatever it was, it's okay. I am here and I won't let anyone or anything hurt you." He ran his hand up and down my back in comfort, trying to soothe me of my nightmares. 

I nodded and buried my face in his chest, I was still feeling scared. Why was I having these nightmares...what did Mikael do...?

"I don't want to sleep..."

Kol nodded, although I knew he disagreed, but he nodded to make me feel better. 

[Later]

I sighed and flicked through the channels of the tv, unable to find anything to watch. The pain in my body was slowly disappearing although it was a little sore to move. I sighed again. 

"Can't find anything to watch?" 

I look up and see Klaus covered, well not  completely, in blood.I gasp a little, and frown.

"Oh...Mikael is dead...although he mentioned something about an antidote of some kind?" Klaus held up a bottle, "However I do not trust him. It could be a poison." 

I frown and slowly sit up, "Well what is the worst that could happen?"

"You die." He replied, bluntly. 

I go silent, that was a possibility seeing as it was rather impossible for Mikael to actually give the antidote for a poison..."Klaus...the baby is gone...you should know..." 

Klaus nodded before sitting on the other couch, "I know...he told me how he done it...I am so sorry love.."

I nod and go over to him, before kissing his cheek, "I'm sorry too, he or she was your child too." 

He nodded, and went upstairs before anything else could be said. I knew he was feeling down about it. Klaus may be a monster on the outside, but all he wanted was a family, and happiness like any other person. 

I sighed and went to Kol's room before finding a note on his bed. I sat down before opening it and reading it.

"Elena darling,

I know when I was gone that you had a moment with Klaus, and I can't help but think you now have deep feelings for him. I will be honest with you, I am scared. I have never felt this way about anyone, and you know that...

I know this is harsh, but I will be waiting, at the bar for you. I want to move away from this drama, and be alone with you or just me depending on what you decide. I will be gone by the end of tonight...so please make your decision. 

I love you so much Elena Gilbert. <3"
