Whistling, I get to work on dragging Trevor's body to the centre of the room, taking his head over separately. I head on over to a different room to look for matches.

Retrieving them off of the shelf, I skip back into the room containing the two dead bodies. I look up at the door, about to take the stake out of Elijah's chest so that I could burn him to, instead I notice that his body is gone. I frown in confusion.

"How can a dead body just magically disappear?" I ask, staring at the door, my mask of confusion still resting upon my face. I feel a presence behind me before I hear his voice," I don't know, maybe I'm not as dead as you think."

I gulp, turning around to face him, doing so slowly.

"Oh hey-" I wave awkwardly. " Yeah, see, I always thought that when people die, they stay dead," I say, bluntly. However, my bluntness does not phase him in the slightest.

"I can't die," He begins, "I am completely immortal." I sigh, before asking the dreaded question that is now beginning to bug me." Are you going to kill me, because if you are, then please make it quick." He stares at me intently for a few seconds before saying, "No I am not going to kill you, you are not to blame for your friend's actions."

I sigh in relief before asking again, "Then what are you going to do with me?" His eyebrows furrow together slightly as he brings his finger up to his chin, suggesting that he is in deep thought."Well, I have a theory," he pauses for a moment as if searching for the correct words to say. "So you are under my protection until I have the- resources to prove my theory true or false." He finishes.

"What did you mean earlier, when you said that I smell exactly like 'him'" He smiles at me, an actual smile, not a cold sinister one.

"You heard that?" He asks, and I nod. "Well, all will be answered in time.

for a few moments, no one talks and we both stand in a comfortable silence, before I suddenly come to a realisation. "You're not going to let me go home, are you?" I half asked, half state. He shakes his head no, looking at me with slight pity as I sigh.

" I didn't catch your name," He says, as he leads me towards the doors.

"Evie," I say, "Evie Lockwood."

About an hour later, Elijah stops his car, parking it in front of a medium sized house, vamp speeding around to my side of the car to open the door for me.

"Thank you," I say, as he offers me his hand, helping me out of the large vehicle.

"It is not a problem, Miss Lockwood," He says in a gentlemanly tone. I blush since no one has ever spoken to me so formally. " It's just Evie," I say, leaving no room for argument, at which, he chuckles.

"I will have someone fetch you some clothes from the town" He says, as we both enter the house.

____________________________________________

I sit across from Elijah,hot chocolate in hand, wearing a pair of pyjamas that Elijah had brought for me earlier.He smiles warmly at me, looking up from his book.

"So, who are the originals?" I ask in genuine curiosity, he smiles at me as I blow my drink, trying to get it to drinking temperature.

" We are the first vampires to ever live, we are a family, but a very broken one." I nod my head, only half understanding.

"How did you become vampires?" I ask, he pauses his reading for a moment to look at me as he says what he is about to say.

"When we were human, one of our brothers got killed so our Mother turned us to protect us, she could not bear to lose another child, However, her ideal plan did not go quite as she hoped."I nod and stop questioning him, recognising that it wasn't his most favoured topic of conversation. It's weird how comfortable I already feel around him, giving that I hardly know him and just yesterday I didn't know he existed. I feel as though he is family.

"So, Evie" He emphasises my name, after our earlier conversation about how he is not to address me as Miss Lockwood because it is too formal. "How did you come to trigger your werewolf curse?" I sigh, remembering the day that it happened very clearly.

"It was when all of the vampires had been released from the Church ruins. One of the vampires attacked a human and the human could not have survived, not even with vampire blood, so I put her out of her misery, not knowing the effects that it would cause"I twiddle with my fingers while saying this, trying to keep myself composed. I feel Elijah's hands wrap around my own, stopping me from messing with them as he rubs soothing circles into my palms.

"It is all alright Evie," he says in a comforting manner. Tears start to pool in my eyes as I continue.

"The worst part is that my Mum and brother don't know. The only relative that knew was my Uncle Mason, and he was helping me through it, un-until Damon killed him." I break out into sobs as Elijah pulls me into his chest, wiping my tears away. "Go to sleep, sweet Evie," He says, rocking me back and forth until my eyes drift shut...

_____________________________________________

I walk behind Elijah, my hand in his as he guides me towards the outside of a cafe, filled with vampires.

"How are they not burning in the sun?"I ask as we come to a stop in front of the window.

"Special windows," Elijah replies, blocking my view of the cafe as he pushes me behind him, my hand still in his.

" And you're sure Elijah's dead?" Some guy asks what appears to be Damon and Rose from inside of the cafe.

"Beyond dead," Damon replies. "But we don't know where Evie has got to, Bonnie's still trying to locate her with magic," He says.

In the background we hear a soft melody being played by a man with a guitar, Elijah walks over to him and hands him $100, before walking back to their previous spot in front of the cafe.

Elijah stands still for a while, holding me behind him, just listening to the trio's conversation.

"What are they talking about?" I ask Elijah, who has been listening to them the whole time.

"They are speaking about how werewolves aren't extinct, Damon is saying that you're living proof," Elijah says, not removing his eyes from the cafe.

I nod, even though he can't see it.

Elijah is still listening to them. He throws the coins at the window. All the windows break. Slater and Rose's skin starts burning. Rose is screaming. Damon looks outside but Elijah is gone. Slater runs off. We walk at a steady pace back to Elijah's car, the silence finally being interrupted when I say, "Dam, you sure know how to make yourself known." He smirks down at me, placing a chaste kiss on my forehead, just like Tyler does...

__________________________________________

I take a seat on the couch, staring at the man that Damon and Rose were previously speaking to, just as Elijah speaks up.

"Very nicely done." He says, looking at Slater.

"Thanks, I have a degree in theatre. How can you compel me? A vampire can't compel another vampire." Slater replies, sounding casual.

"I'm a special vampire."He says, turning towards me, giving me a knowing look. I know that he can't compel me, I'm too wolfy...

"What, because you're an Original?" Slater asks, staring at him curiously.

" Hmm, now I want you to take this and drive it through your heart," Elijah says, handing Slater the stake.

"But that would kill me forever," He says.

"I know," Elijah replies."But it's necessary."

A witch named Jonas stands behind Elijah and I, watching as Slater drives the stake through his own heart.

"Was it, really?" Jonas asks Elijah.

"It had to be done. He delivered his message. Won't be long now." They both look at each other for a few moments, before Jonas stares towards the side. Elijah releases Jonas from his gaze, walking over to me, taking my hand and leading me towards the door, "Let's go, Evie."He says...
