Elejah

Chapter Two

Damon ran up to Elijah and with all his strength plunged the stake into his stomach, Elijah fell to the floor spluttering and coughing out blood.
"Remind me, why is this necessary?" Said Elijah weakly.
Damon knelt to the floor besides Elijah and whispered in his ear, "Because she-"
He was interrupted by Elena pushing him away from Elijah, she jumped on top of him and shouted "Leave him alone!"
"Relax! I wasn't going to kill him, I just wanted to hurt him!" Damon shouted back pushing Elena off of him.
"Go spiral on someone else, Damon," Elena said angrily.
Elena walked over to Elijah and helped him up, "Are you okay?" she asked.
"Yes, thank you Elena," Elijah began, "Anyway, Damon. In return for me not killing you, I suggest you tell me what is going on?"
Elena's eyes widened as she looked over to Damon, he looked back at her, contemplating whether to tell him or not.
"Damon?" Elijah asked again.
"Elena's choice, like always," Damon said angrily as he dropped the stake and walked back inside his house, leaving Elijah and Elena outside.
Elena tried to walk after him but stopped when he slammed shut the door, she sighed and turn around to face Elijah. He raised his arms in confusion, but Elena just smiled a fake smile and then started to cry. Elijah ran over to her and held her in his arms asking what was wrong, but she was too busy crying in his shoulder to think of an excuse, she couldn't tell him the truth. But then Stefan's car came into the driveway, he got out of the car and quickly ran over to them, asking what was going on.
"Ask your psycho brother!" Answered Elena in between cries.
Stefan said nothing, just looked her up and down like he was disapproving of her, Elijah saw the way Stefan looked at her and let go of Elena to punch him, which sent him flying into his car. Stefan groaned and tried to get up but by the time he got up, Elena and Elijah were gone.

When they got back to Elena's, Elijah sat her down on the couch and knelt on the ground in front of her. Elena was still crying, she didn't know why she just knew she couldn't stop.
"Sweet Elena, tell me what's wrong?" Elijah asked softly as he picked her head up by her chin.
"I can't, Elijah. I can't lose you too," answered Elena as she finally stopped crying.
Elijah wiped away one of Elena's tears and said, "Elena, I give you my word that you won't lose me,"
Elena looked straight into Elijah's eyes and nodded as if he could compel it out of her, he asked if she was sure and she nodded.
"Answer everything I ask truthfully," he began, "why does Damon want to kill me and why are you crying?"
"Damon wanted to kill you because him and Stefan found out about my feelings towards you. And I was crying because I'm scared and confused about my feelings for you," replied Elena.
Elijah looked confusedly at Elena, he couldn't process the thought of Elena having feelings for him.

Elijah's POV

"Damon wanted to kill you because him and Stefan found out about my feelings towards you,"
I'm pretty sure she said more but when I heard that, I couldn't concentrate, I couldn't do anything. All I could do was stare at her perfect, beautiful face. It wasn't hitting me that she had feelings for me. Sweet, innocent Elena had feelings, for me. After all this time of waiting for her, she finally reciprocated my feelings. 1 million thoughts were going through my mind all at once, but I was quickly brought back to reality when she said my name, the burning desire to kiss her had returned.
"Yes, Elena?" I asked.
"I'm sorry if I've made things uncomfortable?" She replied.
"No, not all,"
She smiled, her beautiful smile.
"You're beautiful, do you know that?" I said looking at her face, my head tilted.
She giggled and tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear, she caught my gaze and it seemed as neither of us could pull away from it.

Elena's POV
I couldn't pull myself away from his hot gaze and then Elijah leaned in closer, our lips barely 5cm apart. I could hear his heart beat getting faster and faster and I'm sure mine was doing the same, but before we could get any closer there was a knock on the door. Elijah sighed and leant back so I could get up to answer the door, it was Damon.

Third persons POV
Elena opened the door and it revealed a very sorry looking Damon.
"What are you doing here Damon?" she asked weakly.
Elijah stood up and listened to the conversation as soon as he heard it was Damon.
"What I did today was stupid and reckless, I could of got myself or Elijah killed and I'm sorry. But take it from my point of view, Stefan loved you and he was able to have you. Even Matt had you! But I don't even get a chance. But you know you feel something for me, Elena. There's something there and you know it!" Damon said as he got closer to Elena, "you know you want to kiss me, you get the urge to touch me, to feel me..."
Damon grabbed Elena and forcefully kissed her.
"Damon! Get off of me!" Elena shouted in between kisses as she tried to push him off her.
Elijah started to get angrier and then vamp-ran to them and grabbed Elena off of Damon and shouted, "She said get off of her!"
He picked Damon up by his throat and held him up against the wall and growled, "If you ever and I mean ever, lay a hand on her again, I will drain you of your blood over and over again, until I get bored and then cut you into pieces and scatter you all around the world! So if I were you, I'd get the hell out of this house and go back to the place you call a home before I rip your heart out right now! Do you understand?"
Damon croaked out a yes, struggling to breath and as soon as Elijah let go of him, he was gone. Elijah cleared his throat and turned to face Elena, he assumed she would be scared but to his surprise she had a little smirk on her face.
"Thank you," she said.
"My pleasure," he replied
He pulled her into a hug and they stayed like that for a while. Elena for once in her life, felt completely safe and secure. She knew in that moment that she loved him.
Still not breaking the hug, Elena looked up to Elijah, but he was already looking down at her. He took his hand away from her waist and placed it on her cheek, he started to stroke her cheek with his thumb and pulled her closer to his body. Elijah then leant down and kissed her and without breaking the kiss, he kicked the door shut and then picked her up, so she wrapped her legs around Elijah's waist. Elijah vamp-ran up to Elena's room, still not breaking the kiss. He slowly put her on the bed and then locked the bedroom door and went back to kissing her, proceeding to the next steps.
