Curiosity

Elena POV

"What are you doing here Elijah?" i asked.

"Well now, let's hold the chit chat until you've invited me in and offered me a drink." He said.

"Come in." I said . But you're pouring your own drink."

" Such hospitality" he remarked.

"What do you want" i asked again.

"Your Salvatore boyfriends are out ridding the world of all things that threaten their lovely Elena i presume?" Elijah said, pouring himself a drink. I felt like I had just been stabbed in the chest.

"You don't know?" I asked.

"Know what?" Elijah replied , setting his drink down.

"Your mummy witch possessed Alaric and drove a Steak through Damon's heart. It was some sort of revenge tact because he killed Finn." I snapped fighting back tears. Within seconds Elijah was at my side, his hand on my back.

"Elena, I am very sorry. I had no idea. You must be very upset. Come sit down" he said. Oddly, he was comforting. Something about a indestructible vampire at my side made me a little less sad.

"And Stefan?" he asked.

"Gone." I replied. " After damon died, he turned off his humanity. Flipped the switch. Went on a ripper binge and left town. Nobody has seen from him or heard from since"

" So you've been left unprotected" he asked.

"Not necessarily. Klaus needs me alive to keep making hybrids. But with Stefan and Damon gone, he sees no reason I can't stay in mystic falls. Before he was afraid one of them would turn me. But now he knows i'll stay human. So he comes back very few weeks, collects a bag of blood and leaves. But he always has some hybrids, hiding in the shadows, keeping me safe." i explained.

"Elena?" I heard Alaric's voice at the door. "Elena i'm sorry about what I said. I'm just in a rough place. I feel bad About Damon and I just don't know what to do."

" Whats that about?" Elijah asked?

" He feels bad about what happened to Damon. Plus he was best friends with Damon. Now he's just drunk all the time and is about to loose his job. So i'kk probably have to get a Job at the grill to pay the bills. Not to mention Jermey is getting ready to graduate and is going to want to go to college." I sighed.

" Is he on vervain?" Elijah asked.

"No, but why?"  He didn't answer. He sped to the door and took Alaric by the shoulders.

"You no longer skip work or get drunk near Elena or Jermey. You feel bad about what happened and you miss damon, but you no longer lash out at people"

Alaric repeated everything in a monotone voice. Elijah compelled him. He turned to look at me but my phone rang. He held my gaze for a few seconds then I answered my phone. When i looked back, he was gone.
