EE conversations

Elena looked for a signal on her phone, but it wasn't picking up anything.

"Damn...these tombs." she put the phone in her pocket.

She then walked over to where Elijah layed on a slab.

"Why are you not waking up..."-she now touched his withered face. She had already removed the dagger out of him and  didn't understand why he was still in his sleeping stasis.

"Maybe you need feeding..."-she murmured and bit into her wrist and now placed it on his lips.

The first drop of her blood that fell onto his lips already had him open his eyes.

"There... drink..."- she muttered as he looked at him.

He didn't need much and he sat up, now taking a handkerchief out of his jacket pocket to wipe off the remains of the blood from his lips.

"Hello, there..."- Elena then said.

"Elena..."- he stated as he now composed himself a bit.

"Yeah... me..."- she said.

"Where...are we?"- he looked around trying to make sense of the place in the dark.

"In a tomb...New Orleans..."- she said- "it was so hard to locate you...but Liv did it?!"

He now recalled the last moment before he was daggered. 

"The witch..."- he said.

"Yeah..."- Elena said- "they found another dagger with the white oak ash..."

"Klaus?"

"We don't know...he is probably in Europe... "

"Hayley and Hope?"- he then asked.

"Probably Europe..."- Elena said.

"And how come you... your witch found me... Liv is it?"

"We need you for a spell... I mean your blood... for Jeremy..."- Elena continued explaining. 

"For Jeremy?"- he was surprised.

"Yes... some strang Hunter's curse was set on him... the spell requires your blood... the Original blood to undo it...but  couldn't locate Rebekah..."

"It seems like whenever we meet there is some misfortune accompanying you..."- he said.

"Yeah...some kind of a curse seems to connect us..."

He smiled a little.

"So it seems."- he said- " I wished there was something else..."

"Why is it taking so long?... " she got now slightly agitated.

"I am sure they will find a way to get us out of here..."

"Yeah... they will...we only have several hours before the full moon for the spell..."- she said.

"I forgot to ask what year do we have?"

" May 21,2017..."- she said.

"So... I've been locked here for eight months...The witches managed to rid us out of the town..."- he muttered.

"We had trouble getting in here too."- Elena said.

He could detect from her heartbeat that she must have all different emotions rippling inside of her. And it was so. Even before Liv opened the tomb for her to get in, a mixture of very strange emotions cropped up like it seems from nowhere. Now standing leaned on the wall and being there with him caused her to fight them for some reason. Part of her wanted out immediately, and not only because of the ritual, but also because being close to him triggered something in her that spelt want.

"I hear you really got into your studies?!"- he divert to a more personal subject.

"Yes... "- she said shortly- " it helped get things in perspective...to find myself..."

"I am glad. You seemed to be back to yourself."

"It's so easy to get lost..."- she then said- "but... didn't want to switch my emotions off..."

"That experience wasn't pleasant?!"- he looked at her now.

"It hurt more returning from that state of mayham...and in the end...you have save yourself from yourself...all alone... that sounded strange, I guess..."

"No... you are right...saving someone or attempting to do so...can be  futile..."- he then said seriously.

"You know..."

"I do, Elena... and years ago you have opened my eyes about it..."

"But you cannot help yourself, right...?!."- she then said and she could always pinpoint exactly to the heart of the matter.

"I suppose you are refering to Klaus?!"

"And Katherine, and Hayley..."- Elena said.

"How so?"

"And it all started with Tatia, didn't it?"

She could see that he was now intrigued about how deeply aware she was of his inner self.

"Tatia was killed to put a curse on Klaus and...you couldn't do anything...well, you, sort of complied with Esther and your father... and it has been killing you forever, right?!... You wanted to save Katherine... and me... as you couldn't see us diing for something Esther did, and suffer the same as Tatia..."

He listened attentively and her words felt like all the wounds of the past that ripped his soul apart open up again. 

Elena continued- " you've always looked for that innocence Tatia had...didn't you?... Katherine became a monster... I...guess, had a lucky escape, as somehow my gift for compassion got me back to a normal state... Hayley, too... a lost girl, with no family, being sucked into the Mikaelson mess... you wanted to save her too...till she became a monster..."

"The sweet innocent little peasant girl!"- he then said sounding her words off.

Elena felt bad that she was so blunt about it all.

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have... I don't know what got into me..."

"No, Elena...don't be sorry... you have nothing to be sorry for....somehow you see right down into my very soul...and everything you ever said... was the truth... and I know it...but as you said it yourself just a minute ago... I cannot help myself... I had to make things right..."

Elena sighed. 

"I wish you could...but..."

"But sometimes we can't save someone from themselves."- he uttered.

They both went silent again.
