Unexpected Revelations

The next morning I woke up refreshed. I thought back on the night before. Esther wanted me to help her kill her own kids. But I stopped her. I had saved Klaus. I had saved Rebekah. Shouldn't I have let them die? All they do is threaten my life constantly. But I saved them. I saved them for Elijah, even after he betrayed us on multiple occasions but he did it for the right reasons, Kol, who was still a child at heart, and Finn, who had done nothing but be nice. I don't think Rebekah even deserved to die, she'd just been hurt so many times and she was so loyal to Klaus that she began to pick up some of his traits. Klaus, I'm not even sure he deserved death. To be honest I don't think anyone deserves to die no matter what they do. I'm just not that type of person. Damon and Stefan are going to be extremely annoyed at me but they need to butt out of my decisions. God they treat me like such a child.

Then my mind turned onto a more pleasing part of the night. Finn Mikaelson had walked me home and kissed me just hours after we'd first met and I'd let him, I enjoyed it. God he was such a good kisser, he was so soft and it was so sweet and pleasurable. Stop it Elena. You love Stefan, right? But I kissed two other men that night. Two Original vampire brothers. Elijah was so different from his brother. He was demanding and dominating. He's so manly. I'm such a WHORE. All I do is go from one to another, to another. What is wrong with me?

And what the actual fuck was that nightmare? Like seriously who were those people? It has made me even more scared of Esther. I continued to ponder what it could have meant. Will Esther kill me? Will I stop her? I'm not so sure I want to live anymore. But just because of my own confusion I couldn't let the Mikaelson siblings perish. I couldn't be so selfish.

I stood, grabbed my black silk dressing gown and walked to my dressing table, looking at myself in the matching mirror that hung above it. I pulled my hair into a tight high pony tail and in the corner of my eye I saw a picture of Jenna, Jer and I. I really missed Jenna. And I'd just saved her murderer. I wiped away a stray tear that had fallen against my will. I looked into my eyes in the mirror and tried to give myself the motivation I needed to get through the day.

"Pull yourself together Elena. You will get through the day and you will survive," I gave my reflection a nod and went to my wardrobe. I pulled on some shorts and a tank top deciding to go for a run. I walked downstairs noticing that neither Jeremy nor Alaric were anywhere to be seen. I went into the kitchen, noticing that a bottle of half-drunk bourbon had been abandoned on the island, Alaric must have been drinking again last night. I made myself a cup of coffee. Once I had consumed the hot beverage I left the house and began my run. I put my earphones in and 'Teen Idle' by Marina and the Diamonds began playing. I always ran when I needed to work out my stress.

While I was running I couldn't help but feel like I was being watched. I stopped for a moment, taking my earphones out, and looked around. There was no one there, I shook the feeling off and just put it down to my paranoia. I continued my run for another half an hour before deciding to go home. When I reached the door I felt presence behind me. I turned around to face a very angry looking Damon.

"Damon what th-," I started before he cut me off.

"Three Originals, really Elena?" I was really confused at that, how did he know? I raised my eyebrows at him, looking at him questioningly. "I was coming to see you after what happened at the ball and I saw you and Finn kissing. And I didn't trust Elijah to watch you so I watched the both of you. I was going to see what was wrong but before I could I saw you and Elijah getting all intimate." I was still confused he said three. He seemed to sense my confusion because he carried on with his rant with an eye roll, "And you were basically eye fucking Kol!" His ice blue eyes flashed dangerously and my eyes widened. I really Kol very attractive and he was very kind to me last night.

I was about to continue but a voice from behind Damon broke our angry staring match. "Well I didn't mind her gaze as I was too 'eye-fucking' her as you put it..." My eyes widened as I stared into the mischievous eyes of Kol.
