The Salvatore Sister

Training

"Okay, Sydney. The first thing I am gonna have you do is shoot at these targets with your bow. Okay? Go." Elijah commanded. I loaded my bow and aimed each arrow at the targets, hitting the bulls eye every time. Elijah was being gentle with me, and I was thankful for that, but I needed to learn this stuff fast. "Elijah, don't you think I should learn how to fight? It is unlikely that there will be a bow and arrow lying around when they come for me." I told him. He looked at me, staring into my eyes. "The point of this is that if there is no bow, you must conjure one. But, if you want to learn how to fight, then I will teach you."

He then used his vampire speed to put my back to him and he pressed himself against me. "Now, try to fight against me." Elijah whispered in my ear. He had no idea how much of an effect he had on me, and I wanted to keep it that way. I chanted a temporary spell under my breath, and then I elbowed Elijah in the gut and tackled him to the ground. I pinned his hands and legs to the ground also with a little help from my magic. I had almost lost control, and my eyes were black. I was scared that I would hurt him even more than I had, so I got off of him and turned away, being careful not to show him my face, I was an abomination. Elijah recovered and I heard him get up, he then zoomed over to me and frowned when I would not look up at him. "Hey, it's just me. Don't hide from me." Elijah then put his hands on my face and stroked my cheek with his thumb. I finally looked into his eyes, and he did not flinch or anything. I showed him the monster inside of me, but then Elijah showed me his. The veins on the bottom of his eyes popped out, and I could see that his eyes were turning red. "I don't want to hurt you. You should not be my practice dummy, just tell me what to do, I will not be able to live with myself if I hurt you." I told him, and he nodded.

"If that is what you want, we can get someone else to fight you, but I will be right here the whole time. You are not getting rid of me that easily." Elijah smirked. I smiled, and we just looked into each other's eyes for a few moments. I saw him differently now than I had before, he was more than just a mentor or a friend, he was a man who needed to be loved, just like Niklaus. "I forgive you." I blurted out. He looked shocked at what I said. "I forgive you for what happened with my brothers, but you need to know that they will come for me. I have to be the one to destroy Eben. Not you, not my brothers, not Niklaus. Me. You all need to realize that I'm a big girl, and I can take care of myself. You are the one that taught me that. Just if it comes down to it, let me go." I pleaded and repeated, "Let me go." I placed my hand over his hand that was still cupping my face and brushed my thumb in circles on his skin.

"You and I both know that I won't be able to." Elijah breathed, his face just inches away from mine. I thought he was about to kiss me when I heard someone cough in the background.

"Rebekah."

General POV

Katherine walked into Stefan's bedroom and saw that Elena was there. She rolled her eyes, poor Elena being abandoned by her boyfriend and his brother. Katherine rolled her eyes, Elena always played the victim. Truth be told, she was extremely surprised when Elena tracked her down. Kat knew that Sydney had her powers back, but it was too much of a risk going back to Mystic Falls with Klaus there. Elena had then preceded to tell her everything that had happened since she left good ol' Mystic Falls. Her best friend had gotten in quite the predicament, and she decided that she needed to help her. After all, Katherine was with Sydney the last time the witch hunters came for her.

"Poor Elena, always the victim. Get over yourself already, not everything is always about you." Katherine spoke. Elena looked up and rolled her eyes. "Go away Katherine." Elena responded. Katherine laughed, "That's the thing Elena, you're a vampire now. I can make you live an eternity of pure misery." Kat threatened her. Elena stood up and turned to face her look-a-like. "Why don't you just get it over with and kill me then if you hate me that much?" Elena asked her. "I still can." Katherine replied nonchalantly. Elena shook her head, "No you won't. You can't because Sydney would never forgive you and she would hate you forever, and forever is a very long time." Katherine smirked, amused at the baby vamp. "Sydney just threatened the love of her life because he touched me. I think you truly underestimate how close we are." Katherine taunted.
