Uncompel - Part 2 - Souls together

Several months after

Elena finished writing an assignement paper. She closed the file and put the tablet aside. Then she looked for her diary. She opened it and went through some pages and read a poem she jotted down a few weeks ago from a book of poems 'Things of life' by Black_Veil-Brides, she read now

Stay a while

Can you stay a while with me.

I need your warmth to cover my body.

I need your voice to seal my heart,

to bury it deep deep in the ground.

Stay a while

Can you come over?

Stay a while with me.

Can you carry my soul

Do whatever you have to do

For I can stay a while,

But whatever you do don't

Leave

Me

Alone.

Stay a while.

Elena now closed her eyes again. Working throughout all her feelings and finding ground has not been an easy process. But she was determined to bring order both to her mind and soul. No magic. Just ordinary self-searching, taking time and distance from all.

When Bonnie had asked her some time ago how she was doing, and why she was spending all her time walking, reading, studying.

"Maybe you can call it boring...but everything was such a mess...ever since my parents died...it felt like I was swooped by a tornado and till Caroline said - 'not all of us like to pretend'... ahm... and Stefan had told me what I had done...letting myself be compelled...to forget the bad and the hard...that wasn't me..."

"You never really had a mentor to help you through the whole vampire emotional process..." Bonnie said.

"Where is a Vamp therapist...show me and I'll go...sorry...call it growing up...I guess...we all have to go through it on our own at one point or the other... I need to know what is it that I really want...and not what I've been told on a chance meeting... "

"You said that...you could talk to Elijah... in the uncompelling process," Bonnie enquired, "and I am supposed to be your best friend"

"I can't explain it...but yeah...we talked and it felt like I can say it all and he wasn't judging me...he knew... he understood...all...and I felt so good...and in peace...aat home...secure..."

Elena now opened her eyes. She turned to the window and then it felt like her heart stopped for a moment. It was like she saw him there. He walked over to the window, and opened it. He was not there. And she looked out in the night with longing.

"I love you too" she whispered. Then closed the window.
*
In New Orleans, a nightingale seemed to appear out of nowhere landing on the bench where Elijah was sitting. The bird looked at him as if conveying a message and then flew away. He remembered all their mother taught them of symbols of nature and what they were.

He stood up now and took his phone. He dialled a number.

"I will be there" he said.

Somewhere in Georgia, Elena waited in a diner.

As she could hear him before he opened the door of the diner she stood up.

She smiled at him as he got in and walked towards him. Standing close just an inch apart they looked at one another. One more time to speak without words and say all what is inside.

Souls together.
