"She will be fine. Now that Meredith gave her your blood." Elijah reassured Elena.

"It's still hard to see her like this." Elena wiped her tears and turned to the ancient vampire, "what exactly happened. Where was she all this time?"

"Can we talk about it at home?!" Elijah replied.

"Of course," Elena nodded, "you go home. I will stay with her. I will see you, later."

"All right. I have a few errands to run. Did you manage to get in touch with Greta?"

"I did." Elena said with a sigh.

"No lead?"

"No." Elena replied.

Elijah now nodded with concern and giving Elena a small pat on the arm, turned away and left.

On the way out, his mind continued to be restless. He finally had the love of his life with him, safe and sound, but there was the dark clouds of the deal he had made to have Tatia released.

Flashback

A few months back

"I may know where Tatia is, " Tristan said, "but it will cost you."

"Name your price" Elijah said without hesitation.

"The moonstone amulet" Tristan replied, adding, "and the hybrid wolf"

"You drive a hard bargain" Elijah sifted displeased.

"It's either that or you will never your bride-to-be. They will find the hybrid and sacrifice her to trigger the Beast. Lucien is on the war path. He wants to destroy all of us. And the child. The tribrid that has your blood. Fancy that - and you said you had no family?!"

"Yes. You have my word." Tristan said.

"She is your blood, too. I do not understand how you can just dismiss her."

"She is no blood of mine. You see, Aurora is not really my sister. She was adopted. She has no De Martel blood flowing in her veins." Tristan explained and looking at Elijah with ice cold eyes, asked, "Do we have a deal?"

"Yes, we do." Elijah said and now shook on it in blood.

And with the thought of the girl, Tatia and his mother and all of his past, Elijah got into his Porsche and dialled a number.
