Love is a stranger of a different kind, holds you in and drives you all the way to the skies, making you walk on clouds of paradise until it crashes you down, holding your heart hostage to that one other heart never letting it go.
Elijah's heart was hostage to Elena's heart as soon as he laid his eyes on hers.
He had not let himself feel.
Flashback
"I have no hope"- Elijah said to Rebekah-"if I let myself feel for her it will only lead to suffering."
"Because of Dahlia?!"-Rebekah said.
"The witch mustn't know of her existance."-Elijah said.
And so it was. Elijah gave his love up. Never even went to meet her at the gazebo and never said goodbye. He knew that if he saw her once more, her eyes full of soul, he wouldn't be able to let her go, and this chance meeting brought everything back.
The Miracle of Love
Will take away your pain
When the Miracle of Love
comes your way again
He could still see Elena hurrying away, almost running. Having shut down all the noise hearing only her, her silent sobs from the distance cutting his soul into pieces. She got into the building and he was there in front of the door of the building, her waiting for the lift.
This time he was not letting her go, no matter what.
The consierge opened the door asking him who he was visiting and Elijah said in a medium voice looking the man directly in the eyes-"You will let me go in and go about our business forgetting all what happened today."
"Come in"-the man said.
Elena turned around hearing his voice, the lift door opened and she slipped in looking at Elijah, who swooped in the lift before they got shut.
Elena was quiet. She now battled with her heart. And she knew that he was listening to it and even if she tried to deny it loving flatter, it was futile.
He could see residue of anger in her eyes and tremendous hurt.
Finally on the eighth floor the lift opened and the both walked silently out.
Elena's apartment was only two doors away and she opened it stepping in without inviting him in. Elijah didn't insist. His eyes comunicated one last plea-
"Let me explain, that's all I ask of you?!"
Elena sighed a little and shut the door. And then within miliseconds opened it again.
Elijah was not there. Her heart sank, and she uttered tearfully,
"Elijah"
She walked to the staircase calling out once again, "Elijah"and ran down the staircase trying to catch up with him, although she knew that as a vampire he would have been long gone. But there he stood, somewhere between the sixth and fifth floor.
"Elijah." she said once again.
He didn't hide the tears in his eyes now.
"Elena," he then said," I never meant for any of this to happen... I wanted you...I have always wanted you...choosing to leave was not because I didn't love you"
"Why then?" Elena slipped.
"It's a long story involving the witches and my family" Elijah then said.
"That is why you are here, in New York?!" Elena reasoned.
Elijah noded. What good would it have been to lie.
"Of course" Elena then said.
"Please. I will not hide that I am here on an entirely different pretext, but I will also say this - I had to give you up because of a witch far more powerful than my mother was. If she knew the doppelganger exited, she would have used you for things far worse than Esther ever did."
"So, you made a deal?! Shall I guess? Bonnie?!" Elena said with tears once again welling up n her eyes.
Elijah noded slipping a faintly, "Yes, Elena- to keep you safe"
Elijah now walked up to her. Just one look from her confirmed understanding and forgivness. He closed her in his arms never wanting to say goodbye again.
