The Salvatore Sister

Different Perspectives

This morning Damon gave me my diary back. I was so embarassed that they saw all the things that were in there. I wanted to shield them from this aspect of my life. Those memories still haunt me to this day, but I try to not think about them.

My new mission was to find out what happened in my vampire life. Hopefully I wrote some things down in my diary. I flipped through the pages, and on the final page, I found a timeline. Did I know of the consequences of being human? There were names on the timeline. Are these the people I had traveled with? Did I go to these places?

Kol on/off 1864-1912 Boston, New Jersey, Maryland

Damon 1913-1922 Mystic Falls, Georgia

Stefan, Rebekah, Niklaus 1922-1923 Chicago

Elijah 1929-1960 New York, Georgia, Virginia

1960-1992 New Orleans, California, Dallas, Las Vegas, Denver, Miami

Katherine 1992-2007 Austin, Atlanta, Nashville, New York, Seattle

2007-2010 New Orleans

2010-present Mystic Falls

My brothers told me about the Originals, and what they did to my family. Why would I spend time with the enemy? I spent 48 years on and off with Kol, 31 with Elijah, and 1 year with my brother, Rebekah and Klaus. Stefan had told me that him and I reconnected in Chicago, and that we met Rebekah and Klaus, but not that we spent one year with them. I was extremely confused, so I decided I needed to get this information straight from the source.

Elijah POV

Broadway 1982

I was watching her sing in the musical West Side Story. She was my Maria, but I had not seen her in 12 years. I had made it my job to see her every decade or so. I needed to visit her, so I went to one of her shows.

There's a place for us, somewhere a place for us. Peace and quiet and open air. Wait for us, somewhere." She sang. I felt as though I was the only person in the room. When she sang, it was like music, her melodic voice making you feel special and loved. My Sydney, the sweet, loving, protective girl that I loved had left. I did not know who she was now, but I knew that I would always love her.

The last I saw of her, her long lost love had returned, but I had my suspicions about him. Who was this Jesse man anyways? And why had it taken him over 50 years to finally come to her? If she were mine, I would not have let her go in the first place.

Before I knew it, the show had ended, and a soft hand was on my shoulder. I recognized her scent, "Sydney, you're letting your Broadway show."

Knock, knock, knock. My thoughts were interrupted. I stood up from the couch and walked to the front door. Once I opened the door, I could not believe what I was seeing. Sydney turned around and faced me, a sweet smile on her lips. "Hello, my name is Sydney. You must be Elijah, Kol's brother." Sydney said. Kol's brother. How could she call me that when we had spent over 30 years in each other's company?

I smiled back at her, "Are you here for him, because he is out at the moment." I said, even though Kol was upstairs in his room with his new chew toy. "Actually, I am here to see you. Can I come in?" She asked. I stepped aside and motioned for her to enter. When she walked in, I could tell by her facial expression that she was impressed by the house.

I led Sydney into the parlor, and she sat down on the couch. "So, what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked her. God, she is beautiful. "I wanted to ask you about our past." Sydney said shyly. I smirked, she's smart. "What would you like to know?" "Everything. And start from the beginning." She ordered. I liked seeing her in control like this, especially when I know she felt extremely vulnerable. I felt nostalgia washing over me, and I let it take control.

"We met on January 4, 1926 at a bar in Atlanta. You were drunk, talking about some thug that made your brother forget his time with you. I already knew from your drunken mumbling a that it was my brother, Niklaus. I instantly felt sorry for you, so I had you explain everything. You loved him, but you did not want to. You wanted revenge and justice for everything he did. Hearing this, I made you an offer that you willingly accepted." I said to her. Sydney nodded, and I could tell she was thinking about something.

"You once told me that one of the best places to think is the garden." I took out my hand and she took it. I led her to the garden where she first marveled at the rose bush I had planted for her. "What was the offer?" Sydney said softly, almost as if she was asking herself. I waited a few seconds before answering her, hoping that she would remember. "I would train you to be stronger than him, you would be stronger than anyone on this earth." I explained.

"What was in it for you?" She questioned. I took a deep breath, ready to tell her everything. "Nothing. But you stayed with me even after you were complete. You taught me about humanity, it does not make you weak, it makes you strong. You are my humanity, Sydney." I said.

She looked at me with wide eyes. She blinked 3 times before she acknowledged me. What just happened? "Eli?" She breathed. I beamed, all I had to do was repeat something that happened in the past. I brought her into my arms, I was so relieved that she finally was remembering me.

With no memories of my brothers, I could finally have her for myself. I used to be her savior, and she was my salvation. I truly never knew if she loved me or not, but now was the time to find out. I remember our time together like it was yesterday. At first, she was afraid of me, like most people are. I had been watching her since the witch hunters came in 1864. I hated her boyfriend, Jesse, he was also a vampire.

I could sense that he did not have good intentions with her, but I could never quite figure him out. I just knew that there was something extremely sinister about him. I wondered if he compelled her love, but knowing her, she loves recklessly, even if it consumes her. Her brothers were not any help at all; they were too busy pining after Katerina. She did not know I was watching of course, I'm sneaky like that.

After I had formally introduced myself, I began to "run into her" every so often. After a couple of years, however we had finally gotten used to each other, so we started to go places together. I was frightened for her whenever Nik got close, he would have killed her.

I knew that the end of our time was coming when she went to Mystic Falls in 1912. I thought about kissing her, but decided against it. She was the first person I wanted to see when I got out of that bloody coffin. I used to be her savior, but she is still my salvation.
