( ELLE )

"tell me more." elena presses.

"captivity has made her pushy, uh? what do you want to know doppelicious?" trevor approaches elena and crouches down in front of her.

"why are you running from the originals?"

"rose and i pissed them off." trevor answers simply.

"correction, you pissed us off." elle interjects, staring at him boredly. this whole kidnapping thing was getting pretty tiresome now.

"right, rose had my back for over half a millenium, they wanted us dead." trevor gulps.

"what did you do?" elena asks.

"he made the same mistake others did: he trusted katerina petrova." rose rolls her eyes.

"in hindsight, probably not a great move, right mate?" elle chuckles, earning spiteful glares from both rose and trevor.

"katherine?" elena questions.

"the one and only." rose says.

"well not really the one and only. seeing as there have been four." the original keeps up her seemingly permanant smirk, sarcasm dripping from her voice.

"i helped her to escape her fate and now i've - sorry - we've been locked out ever since." trevor says, correcting himself.

"which is why we won't be making the same mistake again." admittedly, elle did admire ross, how she stuck by her idiot of a 'brother' even after he caused them to be hunted down by the most fearsome, vengence thirsty group of vampires; her family.

a few minutes later trevor enters the room, fumbling with his fingers nervously. "he's here, this was a mistake."

"you could just let us go and carry on running?" elle suggests. "i wouldn't object to being freed."

"no, i told you i'd get you out of this. You have to trust me." rose says firmly.

"no! he wants me dead, rose!"

"he wants them more." she reasons.

"i can't do this. you give them to him, he'll let you leave but i need to get out of here."

"hey, what are we?"

"we're family, forever." trevor confirms. a pang of hurt hits elle's heart at those words as she is reminded of the always and forever that her and the mikaelsons shared.

"sorry to interrupt this lovely moment. but elijah doesn't usually like to be kept waiting." elle rolls her eyes, ignoring the ache in her chest.

rose leaves to greet elijah, but not before scowling at the original hung up in the corner. elle had grown almost used to the vervain chains now, it didn't seem to burn as much when they contacted her skin. elle tries to use her enhanced hearing to listen in on the conversation that rose and elijah are having but it comes across all muddled.

elle looks over to elena, noting that she hasn't said anything in awhile. "it's gonna be okay." she says sincerely, trying to be sympathetic. when she doesn't reply elle carries on talking. "if it helps i don't actually hate you as much as i'm making out. y'know with the damn vervain chains and the fact that i've been kidnapped, everything has just got me on edge." the original tries to offer her a small smile, talking to elena is helping her ignore the growing feeling of fear that resides within her at the thought of being handed over to elijah. "i'm sorry, i know that this isn't easy for you either."

"thank you." She smiles back. "elle."

suddenly elle's advanced hearing informs her of footsteps approaching and she snaps her head to the doorway, swallowing the growing lump in her throat.

elena does the same only to have him speed right in front of her.

"human. it's impossible." elijah says, smelling her neck. "hello there." the blonde original felt a loss of breath being infront of one of them again. she'd been running for so long that she didn't know what she was going to do now that she was found. tears sprang to the blondes eyes at the sight and sound of elijah after all this time.

"and that's not even the best part." rose smirks before pointing elijah in the direction of where elle is chained up in the corner of the room. his eyes widen.

"elle." he breathes, immediately racing over to his friend, his sister.

"hi." elle managed to stutter out awkwardly, waving her hand slightly but gasping when the vervain burned her wrist.

"how on earth did you manage to get captured." he chuckles.

"who knows, but i wouldn't mind a hand out of these chains." elle gestures towards where her arms and legs were being restrained. elijah nods before ripping the chains out of their socket and setting her free. once elle can move properly, she goes to hug him. "please, you aren't taking me to klaus right?" elle whispers into elijah's shoulder as she wraps her arms around his suit clad body.

"i honestly don't know. you were the last person i was expeecting to be here." he says, not giving elle the answer she needed. the answer that would mean she didn't have to run.

"well, elijah... this has been nice and all and you know i'd love to stay and chat but, I've gotta go-" elle drags her sentence out before speeding to the foyer and out of the door, before even elijah could comprehend what was going on.

when elle determines she is far enough away she starts to slow down to a walking pace along the side of the road, waiting for a car to come by. she wipes the tears from her eyes with the back of her newly healed hand, biting her trembling lip to try and stop the undeniable need to sob from erupting within her.

when a car eventually drives past, the original runs in front of it and places her her tear-stained hands on the bonnet, stopping the vehicle. as expected the driver, a man, rushes out angrily.

"hey, lady! what the hell do you think you're doing?" he yells at the blonde, who just pouts and frowns in response. pissing off a starving vampire who's been soaked in vervain? not a smart move.

"you know, i don't like your tone." the blonde scolds, causing a smothered laugh to fall from his lips. "i was gonna kill you either way though, so.." elle trails off, caressing the man's beck with her hand. once she feels her fangs extend, elle plunges them into his neck, feeding hungrily and killing the guy in under a minute. shrugging, elle drops his body on the side of the road and slides into his car, where the man has left the keys in the ignition. slamming her still heel clad foot on the pedal, elle speeds back to mystic falls.

elijah may be back and niklaus may not be that far behind, but she won't be coming back to them that easily.
