Elena and Reyna we're sitting on the couch clutching each other for dear life when Rose and Trevor walk into the room. He looks scared and Rose is attempting to calm him
"He's here! This was a mistake." Trevor says to Rose frightened
"No, I got you I would get us out of this. You have to trust me." Rose again assures him
"No! He wants me dead, Rose!" Trevor retorts
"He wants them more." Rose argues back
"I can't do this. You give them to him, he'll have mercy on you but I need to get out of here." Trevor says in fear so Rose hold his hands and brings together
"Hey! What are we?" Rose ask him looking straight into his eyes as he starts to calm down but is still scared
"We're family, forever." He says to her as we all hear a knock on the front door
"You're scared." Elena says
"Stay here and take Reyna to another room and don't make a sound." Rose advises him while Elena and I look at Trevor.
Rose leaves Trevor as he motions me to follow him to another room while I give Elena a short hand squeeze and follow him
☾︎☾︎☀︎︎☽︎☽︎
Rose opens the door and lets the man named Elijah walk into the house
"Rose-Marie. Is there somewhere we can talk?" Elijah says walking entirely in house
"Yes, in here. You have to forgive the house." She says
"Oh, no, what's a little dirt? I completely understand. So tell me, what is it that gives you the courage to call me?" He asks her walking inside an empty room as she follows him
"I wanted my freedom. I'm tired of running. You in a position to grant me that?" she says
"I have complete authority to grant pardon to you and your little pet. What is his name these days? Trevor. If I so see fit." Elijah says in the room with road behind him
"Katerina Petrova?" Rose speaks
"I'm listening." He says
"She didn't burn in the church in 1864." She tells him
"Continue."
"She survived." Rose continues
"Where is she?" Elijah asks while sitting on a chair
"You don't seem surprised by this." Rose ask him
"Oh, when you called and invited me into this armpit of civilization, which is a mere three hours from the town we know as Mystic Falls, I surmised it had everything to do with Katerina. Do you have her in your possession?" He asks her
"No, but I have better. I have her doppelgänger." She tells him while he doesn't react
"That's impossible, her family line ended with her. I know that for a fact." He argues back
"The facts are wrong." She tells him
"Well, show her to me." Elijah says
"Elijah, you are a man of honor, you should be trusted but I want to hear you say it again." She asks him almost pleads him
"You have my word that I will pardon you." He ensures her standing up but Rose stops him
"There's one more thing." She tells him
"Your list of demand are increasing Rose." He says while smirking at her
"It's not a demand it's another girl." She tells him and he nods her to continue
"The girl from the paintings. The Queen, she exits and we have her in possession too." He tells him while he looks at her confused but turns into anger
"Rose- Marie if you're are lying to..." He warns her but she cut him off
"I'm not she's here and safe."She assures him while he still looks shocked knowing that he and his family have waited for a thousand years for this girl and now she here
"Take me to the girl now." He demands her
"Follow me."

Reyna was sitting on the couch trying to ignore my headache while watching Trevor pace in front of her
"Trevor you making my headache worse than it already was with your pacing," I tell him not even looking at him
He looks at me and was about to answer but the door of the room opens and Rose and Elena walk in with a man in a nice expensive suit and neat hair
(Elijah's pov)
I stepped into the room with the doppelganger and Rose after containing a nice chat with her. I wished to see the girl from the pintings but Rose said she was in another room
As I walked into the room I saw her sitting on the couch but she instantly stands up after hearing us.
I stared at her and I was stunned. She looked just like how he painted her. She looks exactly how for first time he showed us her paintings
We believed she would never exist. We waited for a thousand years for her and here there she is standing right in front of him and she looked just like how he and his family described her for the first time they all saw her 'beautiful'.
Maybe there is hope for him after all
(Elijah's pov over)
Reyna was standing there as the man walked towards her and stood right in front of her as the two vampires and the doppelganger watched from afar.
"Who the hell are you?" Reyna ask him and he smiles at her bravery but nonethless extends his hand out to me
"Hello there,I'm Elijah." He introduces himself to me and flashes a smile
"I'm Reyna." I hesitantly shake his hand but still a little scared
He was about to speak but he stops and look at my neck and back at me
"Are you hurt?" Elijah asks me
"What...." I cut off my sentence when I brought my hand from the back of my head to see blood all over it and look at Elijah and then at Elena who comes running towards me in horrified by the blood
"Oh my God. Rey, you're bleeding." She tells me
"I didn't even realize it." I inform her that's when Elijah but in
"I can heal you if you want." Elijah offers Reyna and she looks and at him and then back at Elena and she nods.
Elijah bites his wrist and feeds me his blood and I can feel my wound healing
"Thank you." I tell Elijah and he only nods
"We have a long journey ahead of us. We should be going."Elijah continues while Reyna and Elena look at rose
"Please, don't let him take us." Elena pleads her but she ignores her while Elijah turns around
"One last piece of business and we're done."He goes toward Trevor
"I've waited so long for this day, Elijah. I'm truly, very sorry." Trevor apologies while still trembling in fear
"Oh no, your apology's not necessary." Elijah speaks
"Yes, yes it is. You trusted me with Katerina and I failed you." Trevor tells him
"Oh yes, you are the guilty ones, and Rose aided you because she was loyal to you and that now I honor. Where was your loyalty?" Elijah asks standing right in front of him while he looks down
"I beg your forgiveness." He begs again
"So granted," Elijah says and smacked Trevor ripping his head off. Rose cried. Elena and Reyna look at in horror and shock
"You.......!" Rose looks at Elijah in anger
"Don't, Rose, now that you are free." Elijah says and looks and Reyna and Elena
"Come" and hold his hand to me holding it softly while he grabs Elena forearm tightly
We were about to leave but heard a sound of glass breaking and Elijah turns towards Rose
"What is that?" Elijah asks Rose
"I don't know." Rose tells him
"Who else is in this house?" He asks again this time raising his voice a little
"I don't know," Rose says again
Elijah take me and Elena to the other part of the house as he hands me and Elena towards Rose
We were standing there and we see someone moving around in superspeed while both me and Elena share a knowing look
"Rose." Elijah asks her still looking around
"I don't know who it is."She tells him
Elijah keep looking around when we heard a voice
"Up here." It says as Elijah goes upstairs using superspeed as we hear another voice
"Down here." The other voice says
Elijah turns around to look but hear another voice again which Reyna knew too well
"Right here."He turns up to look only for a stake to go through his hand but it looks like it doesn't hurt him much and he removes it easily
He turns around to find both the girls along with Rose have disappeared from the room
Reyna was about to scream but she felt her brother's hands on her mouth to tell her to be quiet. She looked at him and nod as we heard Elijah's voice
"Excuse me. To whom it may concern, you're making a great mistake if you think that you can beat me. You can't. Do you hear that?"He says as we heard a wooden cracking
"I repeat, you cannot beat me. So I want the girls, I'm gonna count to three, or heads will roll. Do we understand each other?"He speaks again as we all heard Elena speaking
"I'll come with you, just please don't hurt my friends, they just wanted to help me out." She tells him as he goes up the stairs with his super speed. He has the stake in his hand
"Where's Reyna? And what game are you playing with me?" He asks her only for Elena to throw a vervain grenade at him as he screams in pain but he heals quickly
He turns and goes towards Elena but Stefan arrives and shoots at him with his compressed air weapon but it doesn't hurt him so Stefan throws the weapon and Theo goes out there and gave Elijah an aneurysm as he screams giving Stefan the chance to tackle him down the stairs and both fall. Elijah gets up quickly and was about to hit Stefan only for Damon to appear and stake him and push him against the door with the stake and Elijah dies
Rose comes downstairs to see Elijah dead and run. Damon was about to go after her but Reyna stops him
"Just let her go." She tells and he looks from Reyna to Elena as she takes a run into Stefan's arms
I walk downstairs and Damon looks at me and smiles and hugs me tightly
☾︎☾︎☀︎︎☽︎☽︎
Me, Elena, and Theo went back to the Gilbert House where Jeremy and Bonnie were waiting for us
Jeremy and Bonnie came running through his bedroom when they heard us as Bonnie hugged Elena while Jeremy hugged me tightly might I add as we switched and Bonnie hugged me and Jeremy hugged Elena. We pulled away and Jeremy looked at us both
"Are you both okay?" He asks
"We're okay." Reyna assures him as Elena turn towards Bonnie
"We got your message." Elena tells Bonnie and embraces her again while Jeremy embraces me again and kiss my neck
☾︎☾︎☀︎︎☽︎☽︎
Meanwhile back at the Salvatore boarding house, Stefan is in the library. He hears a noise and sees a vampire running around him. He takes a stake
"Who's there?"He asks looking around as Rose arrives from shadows and into the library
"I'm not here to hurt you." Rose assures Stefan
"Why are you here?" Stefan asks still staying cautious
"Lexi once told me that you're one of the good ones." Rose tells him
"You knew Lexi?" Stefan asks lowering his guard a little
"Trevor was my best friend. For 500 years I have lived with one person and he's gone and I don't want to run anymore because I don't have anywhere else to run to." Rose tells him
"Well, I'm sorry but I can't help you." Stefan tells them
"I don't need your help but I think you need mine. Elijah may be dead but this isn't over." Rose tells him
"What do you mean "it's not over"?" Stefan asks them
"It isn't over. The originals, they'll come for them. Especially Reyna. They have to. They're doing it for him." Rose tells him
"For who?" Stefan asks
"Klaus." Rose tell him
☾︎☾︎☀︎︎☽︎☽︎
Meanwhile, back at the house where Elijah is still impaled to the door slowly wakes up. His face regains its color and he removes the stake from his chest and throws the stake away
