            Kol had given me the push I needed to make amends with my past and one day, maybe I would repay him. Klaus would always have a special place in my heart and I would always be there if he needed me, but our so called fairytale was over and I had accepted that.

            Now, all I have to do is get back home and make sure all is well with Erika. And, well, hope that Elijah hadn’t noticed my absence. I knew that was highly unlikely, but a girl can have hope, right?

            I had promised that I would return home by the next evening and thankfully, I had made it back to Mystic Falls just before sunset. I knew the chances of Kol telling Elijah I had left would be more likely if I didn’t return on time. So, maybe I still had a chance…

            As I entered the house, I attempted to tip-toe to my room, but failed miserably before I even passed the parlor. “Did you find what you were looking for?” Elijah sat idly in the corner, looking down at his book.

            “I’m afraid I don’t understand.”

            He sighs and lays his book on the table. “Did Niklaus give you what you wanted? I suspect it was a very important trip to not tell me where you were going…”

            Crap. Why can’t Kol keep his mouth shut? “How’d you know?”

            “I guessed. I know you too well and I suspected my brother was involved… Now, tell me. Did you find what you were looking for?” I could tell he had been worried but that wasn’t my intention. I simply wanted to deal with my problems on my own.

            “Yes, I did, thank you.”

            “Good, I’m glad.”

            After all these centuries, I could tell exactly what Elijah was feeling and I knew he was a little hurt by the fact that I had left without telling him. “Elijah, I went to get closure. I’m sorry I didn’t include you but right now, you need to be with Erika… Speaking of which, where is she?”

            “I believe she paid Stefan a visit…” He paused before continuing. “What exactly did Niklaus say? Did he seem to feel any remorse?” Yeah, he thinks I should be with you since we’ve always had this weird connection…

            Thank God, I didn’t say that aloud. “I went to tell him that I forgave him for all he had done and that I was sorry for trying to change him. Afterward, I left. That’s all… Well, he also wasn’t too thrilled that I hadn’t involved you, stating that he would probably hear about it later.”

            Elijah cracked a smile. “Yes, I’m sure he will.”

            The smile faded and suddenly, I saw pain flash through Elijah’s eyes. “What’s wrong?” I raced to his side wondering what could possibly cause an original so much pain. He didn’t answer and shook his head side to side. “Is it Erika?”

            Still nothing.

            I couldn’t take it any longer so I interfered. Wind, comfort him.

            The air wrapped around Elijah like a shield and eventually, he was able to speak. “It’s gone… I don’t feel it anymore.” At first, I had no idea what he was talking about, but the more I thought about it, I finally realized it was the bond.
