Damon finally made it to Rebekah's townhouse the next morning. Stefan imagined he had let off steam with some drunken debauchery somewhere in the city that always parties. He regarded his older brother with disdain.

"Bonnie called me and told me about what happened last night," he looked over at his big brother sadly. "Why Damon? Why say those things?"

"Oh sure," Damon drawled. "Take their side." He looked at Stefan and glared. "They're the ones who did this! I'm tired of coddling them and smothering them! They need to know that the world isn't all black and white and good and bad."

"They already know!" Stefan had to keep his anger in check but it was boiling up to the surface. "Damon-just because they cut all ties to everyone in Mystic Falls doesn't mean that they're here to just use people!"

"I'd believe that if it was true but really? Bonnie with Kol?" He wasn't amused and he took off only to run into two of the three Original brothers.

"Hey Elijah, Kol." Damon looked hatefully at them. "How's life treating you? Poorly?" He mocked. Elijah had to count backwards from ten to one but it took several languages before he had his temper back under control.

"Now how did I know that you'd be with him?" Elijah opened his eyes and saw Elena right beside him.

"He and I are now officially together Damon." She looked at them and Elijah knew what she wanted to do.

Looking at Kol, he began to speak in old Norse.

"Hún vill að hreinsa loftið með honum Kol. Við getum samt vera nálægt en að minnsta kosti þykjast vera að gera eitthvað til að gefa henni næði að hún þarf."

"Fine Elía en ef hann segir eitt um hana, Bonnie, Caroline og Rebekku aftur-Ég skal drepa hann," Kol replied and Elijah smiled as he heard his brother speak the old language.

"Ég mun hjálpa þér."

Kissing Elena deeply, they walked over and called certain people to tell them about their 'uninvited guest'. Elena smiled at him and turned her attention to Damon.

"Elijah and I are dating and no," she looked into his eyes. "He and I started dating just a few weeks ago and there was no cheating involved."

"But why him Elena?" he sounded crueler now. "You think his feelings for you are real - the Original who banged everyone wearing your face. You believe that he loves you?"

"Didn't you cheat on me while we were together twice?" She snapped, feeling angry at him. "Didn't you cheat on me with four girls all from my old college?" Her look told him that she clearly did remember catching him each time.

"That's beside the point Elena!" He had wanted to scream but he didn't. He did, after all, have a sense of propriety. "They meant nothing to me."

"The hell they did!" she yelled at him softly. "You told one of them that you would rather be with her than me! While I was there! Remember that?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Elena, you're still young and it's okay for you to throw-" he began in a patronizing tone but couldn't finish what he was saying when she slapped him.

"I'm tired of your excuses Damon! I am tired of them!" Tears fell and he knew what was coming. "We're not going to be together anymore and I doubt that we'd ever be friends again." Turning away from him, she began walking towards Elijah when Damon said something incredibly stupid.

"You really are Katherine 2.0."

"You arrogant young fool," Elijah had him pinned against the brick exterior of the courtyard before Damon could fully comprehend what had happened. "Do you know what has kept your sorry life in continued existence these last couple of years despite the fact that you have tried to undermine, double-cross and kill off my family at every turn? It has been the love that Elena has for you. Long after our deal was void her loyalty to my family meant that I was willing to try and protect those that she loved - all of them - even the completely reckless wankers like you!" Elijah closed his eyes a moment trying to pull back his rage. His veins were threatening to show in broad daylight.
