Vampire Heart

The witches spun a web

In the morning

Rose and Freya arrived in New York. Elijah texted that he would follow eventually.

Soon they met the Parker witch, who secured the penthouse once again with powerful magic.

In Mystic Falls, for some rude awakening followed.

Caroline opened her eyes and looked stunned at the man sleeping beside her. She was in a luxurious room of a boutique inn.

"OMG"-she got up as if something stung her.

The man woke immediately and greeted her.

"Ok."-all that happened the night before came flashing back to her, playing billiards with Tyler, dancing, having a fight with Bonnie. Meeting this guy at the bar and leaving with him, as well as a hot night of incredible sex. It wasn't unusual to have a one night stand with guys from college, but she vowed that she would not do it anymore and yet it happened again.

"You said you would probably regret it in the morning, I guess, this is you regretting it!"-he said watching her get dressed.

"Ahm...yeah...sorry... I ...have to go!"-Caroline said and walked out of the door as fast as she could.

Klaus smirked and went to the shower.

Caroline looked at her phone and there were several missed calls from her mother and voice mails.

She wrote a quick message to her saying she was fine. Then she called Matt asking him to pick her up.

In the lake house, Elijah was exchanging messages with Rose about further developments. As he finished, he looked at Elena, who was sound asleep. They had spent talking nearly to the dawn.

Flashback

"I suspect that Katerina Petrova had survived"-Elijah said.

"Why do you think that?"-Elena said yawning a bit.

"Klaus had always used the dark magic witches, and by now they would have found it. "

"Maybe a white magic witch keeps it somewhere safe"-Elena said.

Elijah's eyes smiled a little. But that simple notion could not be far from the truth.

"Then I would have found it?!"-he said.

"Yeah, I guess you would. You played Sophie."

"In some ways."-Elijah admitted.

"You can take whatever you want. You could have had my blood for your sister and be gone. Or killed me or imprisoned me and Klaus would never have found me, but you are here... What else do you need from me?"

"Nothing else!"- Elijah replied.

He now looked at her. She had caught him off guard somewhat, being so straight forward. He had not expected her to be so direct. He felt like she had pierced through his coat of armor into his very soul. 

Her toughness and cleverness reminded him of Katerina. Even Tatia possessed the same quality, but there was something about Elena that he couldn't quite grasp. And it surprised him. She looked exactly the same as the other two doppelgangers, and yet Elena seemed so pure and innocent. Life had also dealt her a harsh card. But it was the curse of being the person of mystical blood.

Then a message of his informants he had employed to keep watch over everyone connected to Elena buzzed in-

"Niklaus has arrived in town!"
