Always and forever Logs

For there is nothing lost

Future, time and place unknown

"Here is some water"- Elena passed a glass of water to Elijah.

He took off of her and drank some. She sat down on the sofa opposite from him.

He put the glass on the table and looked at her. Elena looked back at him. What were they to say to one another. So much and nothing at all. But words are to be had. 

"You are here like my conscious"- Elijah said.

"Me as your conscious?"- Elena said.

"You are always there"- he continued.

"Right."- Elena said sighing a little-"is it working?"

"I don't know."- Elijah admitted. If he said any differently she would know. She always knew. 

"It comes and goes, doesn't it?!'"- Elena then said.

Elijah gulped and then asked-"Why did you do it? Why did you save me? I am not worth saving"

"Act of compassion"- Elena said.

"For a monster? Isn't that somewhat misguided?"- Elijah continued.

"Set as a default"- Elena said.

"Paradox"- Elijah said.

"You can't make me better. You can't erase what I have done."- Elijah said knowing Elena's motivation.

"No. I can't erase it. This is not what I do."- Elena replied.

"You will not make it easier for me, are you?"- Elijah then said.

"You know that I won't. And you are not asking me that. You hide behind that red door.  It has never left you. Today I did things, I abhor-"- Elena responded.

And again words cut like a knife through his heart. 

"I am not telling you that to throw it back in your face. I am bringing it up as I understand why you were pointing the great compassion thing out. It was your straw that you were grasping for deep down in your soul. And now you will say that it is late for you."

"It is late for me, Elena."- Elijah said.

"So you will quit?! Elijah that I know- the Elijah- the one that grasps for the human side of the monster- he never quits."

Elena now held a hand out to him- 

"There is something I read in the English class-

"For whatsoeuer from one place doth fall,

Is with the tide vnto an other brought:
For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought.

"you can stay or you can come with me"

Elijah got up. He took her hand and they walked out.
