Third person p.o.v.
Arabella once again woke up to loud noises downstairs. She cursed as she got out of bed, the sounds growing in her ears. She got dressed and walked down the stairs only to see Elena at the front door, which was wide open. Elijah stood at the doorway way, unable to get inside. Arabella started at Elijah, unable to comprehend that he was alive and undaggered.

"Elijah?!" Arabella said at the bottom of the steps. Both of their heads snapped towards the Salvatore. Elijah's intense face faltered and turned into a smile. Elena's face showed of a little fear, with her knowing that Arabella wasn't happy with her at the moment, but Elena planned to change that.

Arabella ran into the Original's arms, him hugging her back almost instantly. Elena smiles lightly, letting them have their reunion. Arabella pulled away, but stayed outside of the house, not letting Elijah out of her sight.

Elijah turned his attention back to Elena. "What happened."

"Shh." Elena ushered. She pointed up then towards her ear, showing that her brothers could hear. Elena spoke softly, whispering, "I'll tell you. Not here. Can I trust you?"

Arabella rolled her eyes while Elijah looked at Elena, unsure of what to do. "Can I trust you?"

Elena looked up, like she was debating with herself. She knew Elijah and Arabella were the only ones that knew Klaus. The only ones that know what he'll do next. If anyone can get her the information she needed, it was them. She just needed them to trust her.

Elena holds the dagger out to Elijah, decided that this was the best way. Elijah and Arabella looked at each other, not knowing if they should trust the Gilbert girl. Elijah looks at Elena warily, but takes the dagger from her hand. He holds the dagger as the three eye and nod at each other, knowing that they all needed to have a talk.

The three of them got in a car and drove off. When Elena pulled up on a curve she turned towards the two vampires in the car, who were both having a competition on who could finish the blood bag first. When Arabella finishes her blood bag, she put her arms up in victory. Elijah had finished after her and put his blood bag down smiling at Arabella in the back seat.

"Victory is mine once again!" Arabella said as she put an invisible crown on the head.

"I'll get you. One day..." Elijah plucked the crown from in top of her head and put the invisible crown in his head. "...this crown shall be mine."

Arabella looked insulted and stole her crown back, putting it in top of her head again. Elena smiles at them, seeing the close bond that they had.

Elijah senses Elena staring and turned towards her, making her focus back to her dilema. "You look better."

"Where did you get the dagger?" Elijah asks her.

"I'll tell you everything. But we have to work together, Elijah. I need your word." Elena said making Arabella scoff.

"Your ability to make demands has long passed." Elijah stated clearly.

"No demands." Elena says. "I'm offering you my help. And in return, I want yours."

"And why should he even consider this?" Arabella speaks for Elijah, backing up her friend.
