E&E (An Elijah and Elena Fanfic)

2

Elena:

My eyes fluttered open. The light shined in my eyes making my head pound like crazy. Wait. Who stopped me? My throat was on fire. I haven't fed in forever. I could feel my teeth extending but I took deep breaths to make them normal.

"I see you're awake," a voice spoke.

I recognized that waist coat and voice anywhere.

"Elijah?" I said dumbfounded.

He sat on the bed. His eyebrows knitted together.

"You're hungry," he spoke.

"No I'm fine," I lied hiding my vampiric face. He pulled my face towards his. He bit down on his wrist and held it out to me.

"What I don't need that," I lied again. I couldn't hide the need for blood. His blood made my hunger intensify. He pressed his wrist to my mouth letting the blood run down my throat. His blood tasted amazing. I bit down for more finally able to savor and drink it. I haven't fed in the months since Damon died. It was going on three and I was going to desiccate if I didn't feed soon. When I was finally done I unextended my fangs releasing his wrist.

"Thank you," I spoke softly.

"Now why were you trying to kill yourself?" He asked sternly.

A tear rolled down my cheek and he wiped it away.

"Damon.. He died. I couldn't take the pain anymore," I spoke sadly.

"Oh Elena I am so sorry," he brought me into a hug. I felt safe in his arms. More content. I just wanted to melt away in his hold.

"Thank you Elijah," I kissed his cheek.

"For what?" He asked.

"For saving me and being here for me," I spoke.

"It is my pleasure," he smiled lightly.

"Hey Elena," Rebekah walked into the room smiling.

"Hey?" I questionably said.

"I don't hate you Elena, it's ok," she smiled.

"Oh," I smiled.

"I brought you some clothes," she said placing a pile of clothes on the bed.

"Thank you, Rebekah," I smiled.

"You're welcome Elena," she spoke before walking out of the room.

"Well I'll let you change and shower. There's a bathroom over there," he pointed to a door in the room.

"Alright thank you Elijah," I smiled.

"You're welcome," he said before leaving. I picked out a loose white sweater and black skinny pants before walking into the bathroom. I glanced in the mirror. I looked terrible. My hair was knotted and greasy. My face was red and splotchy. My lips were faded to a grayish pink. Closing and locking the door I sighed stripping my tampered and torn clothes then stepping into the glass shower. I set it to medium hot letting the water comfort and soothe me. I picked up the expensive cherry blossom shampoo squirting some in my hand then massaging it into my hair. I rinsed then starting putting conditioner through my hair then rinsing it out again. I put vanilla body wash and shower gel on before turning off the water and stepping out of the shower. I pulled a fluffy pink towel around me drying myself off. After drying my body I ran a towel through my hair. I brushed through the tangles making it easy to run my fingers through. I put on my undergarments and the clothes I picked out then walked out of the bathroom.

"Elijah?" I called.

He was by my side in a flash.

"You look beautiful Elena," he kissed my hand. My heart fluttered at this. I haven't gotten this feeling since before Damon died. I gazed into his eyes as he gazed into mine. We began to lean in slowly. As our lips started to touch I felt the familiar sparks. Our lips began to move in perfect sync. It felt right kissing him. For once which seemed in forever I'm starting to feel good again. When we finally pulled away from each other we smiled and stared at each other.

"I've been waiting to do that for what seems like forever," he spoke before touching his lips to mine again.
