#ELEJAH - One shots and Short Stories

Love. Lies.

"I don't believe in anything except getting to the blood. And for that I have forged alliances with my worse enemy if it gets me what I want - then so be it. I will kill you or use you as a bargain in no time... I have done that with my own family. "- Klaus said to Stefan- "the time is ticking away."

"Even your sister?!"- Stefan said.

"Yes. She knows it. Trust me she would do the same to me. We, Mikaelsons don't feel and we don't care. But we banded together because we have a common goal."

Stefan  Salvatore recalled the conversation he once had with the Original vampire some weeks ago. He hated himself for doing Mikaelson's dirty work and for once he wanted to change things for two young people.

The Salvatore vampire now stood in front of a house in the town of Rosewood. As he was about to knock at the door he stopped. He caught himself listening to a conversation.

"This is about Miranda?"- Hannah said looking at Caleb broken.

"It's not like that!"- he looked at her trying to lessen the pain.

"Like what?"-Hannah's voice quivered.

"Like what you're thinking."-Caleb uttered.

"I mean- is this about the girl I told you to look after?"

"She needs me! - but it's not like that sounds!"- he tries to continue with the vague explanation for the reason why he had to leave and say goodbye. He could see in her eyes that she searched for something more plausible.

"You say that-but what am I supposed to think?!"

"I-I can't tell you what to think. I don't even know what I am thinking. All I know is that I have to go and you have to stay-it's best for the both of us!"-the lie is the best option-he thought.

Caleb moved to the door, but Hannah caught up with him slamming the door shut.

"Hannah-please don't do this!"- Caleb voice now broke as his emotions start to get on top of him.

Hannah tried to steady herself and then said-

"Do what?! What am I doing?!I am standing in front of my own door in my own house."

"I am sorry. I have to go!"- he looked away. He felt the bloodlust rise in him and he now thought of the words Elena told him- "just look away and try to think on something else-now it is a cliche, but trust me-it helps. Otherwise you would want to rip that throat out and just drink and you don't have the control to stop it just yet"

And the agony seemed to prolong itself.

Flashback

"How do you say goodbye to the love of your life??"-his mind now went back to his conversation to Elena.

"You pretend that you don't care or you put their well being on the first place- so you can survive!"-Elena said.

"Did you do that?"Caleb asked.

"I did much worse. I killed him for the greater good!"-Elena said.💠

Caleb now looked at Hannah, his heart ripping up.

"Why am I supposed to make it easy for you?!"- Hannah now just felt that she was falling apart, trying so hard to keep her tears at bay.

"This is not easy!"-Caleb's voice shatters. He opened the door to leave, but she slammed it shut once again.

"I gave her to you. I am so stupid."- Hannah said with all inside of her now ripping apart.

"You are not stupid!"- Caleb exclaimed- "that's not what happened."
