Elena followed Klaus up stairs and into his room, where he flooped down onto his bed and stared up at the ceiling."I can't believe you...."Elena paused, looking at Klaus with pursed lips."Then again, I can. This is just like you."

"Like I said, Marcel was nervous, he's afraid of Elijah, Elena."Klaus said, sitting up and looking Elena dead in the eyes."Not that you'd know what it's like to be afraid of him, Little Sister, because you're naive."

"I am not naive!"Elena exclaimed, glaring at Klaus, and unknown to them, Hayley and Rebekah were watching them from the shadows."I was afraid!"Elena snapped when Klaus looked at her, not believing her."But not of you, not of Rebekah, not of your Mother, not of Finn, and not of Kol."Elena said more softly."I wasn't afraid of any of you except for Elijah. I was always afraid of him.... Everyone thinks that you"Elena pointed at Klaus."they should be afraid of but that's only because you want them to be afraid of you. It's Elijah you look out for. Yes, he's the Noble Brother, always wearing suit, making deals. But that's just it. That's the type of Monster under the bed you have to look out for. Because beneath all that he shows on the surface, there's a beast chained and waiting for you to make a mistake. Once it's free, you're doomed and dead."Klaus stared at Elena, eyes wide, as did Hayley and Rebekah, shell-shocked."I have always been afraid of Elijah Mikaelson, ever since I first met him, he scared me, paralyzed me on the spot.... But now, I'm not. All I'm afraid of now is the Dagger and the White Oak Stake."

"I see."Klaus muttered and pursed his lips."Now that you're free of your slumber, what are you going to do?"

"First, I'm gonna help you and Rebekah find Elijah. Then I'm gonna act like a tourist and see the City, enjoy it and maybe create a new life here even."Elena shrugged."After all, that's what you brought me here for, it's what you promised me."Elena said, determinded to forget all about her Mystic Falls Life."And once I'm done seeing the City, I'm gonna help protect Hayley."

"Perfect."Klaus said, smiling widely at Elena."Welcome to your new home, Little Sister. Now, if you don't mind, I need to sleep. I have a big day tomorrow."

Elena rolled her eyes and turned on her heels, intending on leaving the room but paused."One more thing."Elena said, glancing over her shoulder at Klaus, who raised an eyebrow at her."When were you going to wake me up?"

"Well, I was hoping to wake you up when I regained control of the City, of course."Klaus answered honestly.

"So a year or maybe longer."Elena gritted out, annoyed. Before Klaus could say anything, Elena Vamp-Sped out of the room. Glancing at one another, Rebekah and Hayley quickly left and went to find the Immortal Doppelganger. It didn't take long, seeing as she was on the second floor balcony.

"So, Klaus adopted you."Rebekah stated as she went and sat down on the seat next to Elena, who glanced at her warily."Elena Gilbert-Mikaelson doesn't have a nice ring to it. However, Elena Mikaelson does. Welcome to the Family, Little Sister.... I always wanted a Sister."Rebekah said, smiling widely at Elena, shocking her."And since we're Family now, I forgive you about the whole Daggering me thing. After all, we all tend to Dagger each other in this Family."

"Speaking of Daggers."Hayley pipped up and Elena and Rebekah looked at her and showed them two Daggers.

"Oh my god."Elena and Rebekah choked out, eyes wide at seeing the Daggers.

"I found yours under your Coffin and Elena's was in her chest and I put it inside her Coffin."Hayley explained with a shrug of her shoulders."So if a couple of antique steak knives were the only thing stopping you from getting Elijah back, which I know it judging by the fact that seems Klaus will keep you two Daggered if you do something that gets in the way of his plan, then here you go."The two Immortal teenagers took the Daggers gently from Hayley.

"Why would you do that?"Rebekah asked, suspicious of what Hayley wanted.

"Us girls got to stick together"Hayley said, looking at Rebekah then looked at Elena."and I'm thankful that you stopped Klaus from killing me."

"You're welcome."Elena said softly."You should go and find out where this Marcel guy is keeping Elijah's Body."Elena said, turning to Rebekah, who nodded and Vamp-Sped away after nodding her thanks to Hayley."As for you, you should get some sleep, Hayley. All this stress has to be taking it's toll on you and it's not good for the baby."

"Goodnight, Elena."Hayley said softly.

"Goodnight, Hayley."Elena said and watched as Hayley went inside before looking out at the nightsky with a small sigh.
