Where did your Heart go?- part 3

Flashback
Seven years ago, Mexico

Elijah walked to the bar ordering a tequila. As the bartender poured him the drink, his looked around the place and like enchanted his eyes got glued on a woman that had just walked in who was looking for someone, but as she realized that someone was not there, she walked to the bar, now asking the bartender-

"Has Jenna been? Her cell is out."- Elena asked.

"Yes. She said that you should wait for her. She's gone with Maria."- the bartender replied-"what do you want to drink?"

"T'n'T"- Elena said now catching Elijah's look, who was still gazing at her like compelled.

"What is it? Do I still have paint on my face?"

"No. I am sorry. I am so rude. I just- I wasn't - I didn't want to stare like that. I'm Elijah. Hello."

"Elena."- she said-"Hello. Oh, I remember you now. I saw you with Diego. You bought his painting."

"Yes. You saw me?"

"My aunt Jenna is friends with Diego's sister Maria. I saw you get the painting and taking it with you. We were in the garden. You were on your way out."- Elena explained.

"Right. Yes, I like his work. I am always looking for art work that is unusual. Diego is going to make it big."- Elijah said.

"Oh, you are an art dealer?"

"No. I'm a lawyer. On holiday."- Elijah said somewhat clumsily.

"Me, too. I mean, I am on vacation. Not a lawyer. A history major at the University of Virginia. Ok. Sorry to go on and on."- Elena sipped now a bit from her drink.

"You're not."- Elijah said. 

And from that moment on, it was like they both entered a dream. Elijah let himself get lost in her, even though his mind was telling him he should stay away that very night. But his heart ruled everything out. 

His witch friend, who was with him on a mission to find an ancient artefact, noticed the change in him as he returned to the place he rented out. He had abandoned his vampiric side completely. Being this ancient vampire, he had the ability to switch and control the demon inside him.

"This will not turn out good."- the witch muttered one night as Elijah went out to meet Elena, but she knew she could not interfere. 

But as the witch said, demons and darkness were not far behind. As it was with the Mikaelson family, they never were.

As he returned a night before he was going to break Elena's heart, and consequently his own, the witch informed him that the de Martel demon had visited her. 

"He will use the woman as levearage. Even kill her if they see fit. You know what he is like. We have to leave."

Elijah looked at the witch with somber eyes, and she continued-

"I know that you wish you were not what you are. You had your dream, now return to reality."

Elijah knew that the witch was right. And he knew that he had to be cruel to be kind. He could not risk Elena being hurt by the De Martels and drag her into his family's darkness. 

In her room now, Elena now got up from the chair and walked into the bathroom and washed her face. Her heart was not giving her any rest. It pulled her to him.

She need3d a drink and now went to the neighbouring bar.
There, as if foul magic was following her a song was now playing that brought even more memories back - 
She often played it after she returned from Mexico. Crying, thinking of him kissing her and loving her, making her feel extraordinarily special. How could someone be so wonderful and sweet and then take everything away like it was nothing.
