It is disorientating, waking up in a different bed then the one you went to sleep in. It's even more disorientating waking up in a different bed with a different man then the one you went to sleep with. However, it's not always bad.

I woke up and immediately noticed i was in an unfamiliar room. In an unfamiliar but very comfortable bed. With Elijah lying next to me. And i was in one of those very revealing bits of silk that Klaus loved to dress me in at night.

Oh. My. God.

I sat up, taking stock of my surroundings. I didn't recognize it but by the fact that Elijah was next to me, i guessed it was his room (clever that). He was asleep so i got out of bed very carefully, not wanting to wake him. There was an envelope on the bedside table with my name written on the front in elegant cursive script. I picked it up and opened it.

My dearest Elena,
I wanted to say goodbye to you before i left but you were asleep so this will have to do. I put you in Elijah's room, since he is to watch over you while i'm away. Most of my hybrids have come with me so you don't have to worry about any trouble from them.
I will miss you. Behave yourself and do as you're told. ;)

Love you, always.

Klaus.

I stared at the letter for a long time, then carefully and deliberately tore it in half, then in half again. I'd allowed myself to get too comfortable here, too settled around these people. I had to cut myself off from them, keep my emotions in check and work out the quickest way out of here.

"I hope you're going to clean that up" muttered Elijah's voice. I jumped and looked down at the shreds of paper i'd dropped on the floor.

"I...erm...yeah" i crouched and gathered them up. In a second, Elijah was beside me, helping me.

"I was joking Elena" he said, allowing me a sight of that rare smile. I smiled slightly back and stood up. He was wearing a pair of sweatpants which struck me as quite funny. I'd only ever seen him in a suit. I mean, i knew he wouldn't sleep in it but i'd had a bizarre idea that his suit was glued onto his body.
I managed to stifle my laughter and focused instead on more important things. Like getting dressed into something that covered me. I wasn't ashamed of my body or anything, i just didn't feel like parading it around murderous originals or hybrids. Of course, i also didn't want to draw attention to my state of undress by asking Elijah where the clothes were so i just stood there awkwardly for a bit. He blinked.

"Right. You want to get dressed" he walked over to a wardrobe, rifled through, and came out with a dress. I grimaced. Hadn't these guys ever heard of jeans?

He handed me the dress and i went to the bathroom to get dressed. i was pleasantly surprised to see that it wasn't the normal style i'd been presented with. It was light purple and very flattering, while at the same time being modest. Elijah had good taste for a man who's hair looked ridiculous 95% of the time.

I left the bathroom. Elijah was already dressed in his typical suit. I stood for a moment, wondering if he wanted me to do anything, then scolded myself for caring. We looked at each other for a moment, before he left the room hurriedly. I sighed. Well, this should make my escape attempt a bit easier at least. That's what i should have been thinking but i couldn't help but wonder why he apparently couldn't stand to be around my company...when i was awake anyway.

"get your head in the game Elena" i told myself. I set off down the corridors, deciding to forgo breakfast, searching for the nearest exit. I wasn't going to escape today, I just wanted to get the layout of the grounds while there were minimal hybrids around to keep me from the gate and walls. I saw no one in the grounds and was grateful. I couldn't squander this opportunity, i might not get another one like it.
