Vampire Heart

Taken

In the Grill

Jenna came up to Sophie.

"It's been 20 min. Elena is not answering my calls- and there is ten minutes drive from the Grill to our house"

"She will be here."- Sophie said.

"Something is not right! I had this feeling all day, and then the Salvatores appeared. It can't be that HE is already here? Maybe he found her? "- Jenna was very jittery.

"I will go look. You stay and do the birthday cake thing!"- Sophie said and then left.

Twenty minutes earlier at the car park

"Well,  it seems that my name sparks an unpleasant association."-Elijah said.

"Yes- no- I mean-  I...know you "- Elena then said.

"Excuse me?"- he was surprised to hear it.

"I've seen you...in New York"- Elena then said and flashed back to one winter's day two years previously. She had been waiting for Bonnie to meet her in front of the Gallery. Bonnie was running late. She turned to look through the window in. Her eyes were  magnetically drawn to the man standing in front of a painting looking at it as if hypnotized. He wore a pristine grey suite.  His whole demeanour screamed  'gentleman' from a time gone by and yet he looked modern and sexy at the same time. Bonnie arrived and Elena hearing her name called out, snapped out of the strange daze and greeted her friend. When she turned back to see if he was still there, he had gone. The women went away, deciding to do something else. But that moment stuck with her. She often thought of the man in the gallery, and now he was standing in front of her, sharing the same last name as the infamous vampire that wanted to kill her.

"New York"- Elena then said again trying to keep her cool.

"You have?"- he then said- "Hm...I suppose you know who I am?!"

"No, but...ahm...I have a feeling you are related or you know Klaus Mikaelson- and that is why you are here!"- Elena said.

"True. I am related to him."- Elijah didn't hide the fact-" Where are my manners...I startled you, and it wasn't my intention to do so. I was going to join the party, but, since we have litteraly bumped into one another, and you are, as it seems, informed about Klaus. Maybe we should cut to the chase"

"Cut to the chase? What do you mean exactly?"- Elena gulped. She thought of running back in or screaming, but she knew that noone inside would hear her, as the music was going loud.

"I am so sorry. It looks like we will have unwanted company."- before Elena knew what was happening he swooped her from where she stood and took her away. Elena felt like she was having one of those out of body experiences. One moment she was on the parking lot and the next she was at the edge of town in an area by the river, where the town people would hold a yearly picnic festival in summer.

Elena moved away from him as he let her go of his grip. Her had was spinning slightly and she felt like she would be sick. She put her hands on her stomach and bent as if she was about to vomit.

"Are you all right?"-he asked concerned and as he wanted to go over her to inspect her she stretched her arm out giving him a sign with her hand to stay away. Then she took a deep breath and looked at him muttering faintly -...fine...huh...I am fine... what...was...who?"

And then she collapsed.

"Elena"-he now swished to her, checking her vitals.

She seemed fine, but then he saw blood appear from her nose and without a thought he bit in his wrist and the put it gently on her lips. The potent dropplets of his blood sipped in and quickly blended with her fluids.
