12. Hello Again

I skipped happily up to the front door of the Salvatore boarding house. I had a wonderful day. I think me and Elijah were 'together' now. But I had a feeling the only people that knew were the Mikaelsons. And that was okay with me.

As I whistled through the door, I could see a small party standing inside staring at me. It included Stefan, Damon, Bonnie, and Jeremy. They all looked at me, like I shouldn't be happy or something. I walked in with a smug grin and skipped over to lean on Stefan's shoulder.

"What's happening guuyyssss?" I grinned.

Bonnie looked at me strangely. "You have no idea, do you?"

I stepped back. Oh no, what's happened now. Damon coughed and looked up at me awkwardly.

"Um Abby, when we went to save Elena, Klaus got to her first. He took her back to the house, I'm not sure where you were, but Tyler found her, linked up to a bloodbag... he was killing her Abby."

My heart sunk. Oh no. What was happening.

He carried on.

"So ... Bonnie here, had made a heart-stopping spell, to help take down Alaric, and when we got to Klaus.. the spell was still active." He coughed awkwardly again. "We killed him Abby. Not completely, not so Tyler dies, but we locked him up, caged him where noone can find him."

I exploded.

"WHAT. YOU TECHNICALLY KILLED KLAUS. AND ALL FOR THIS ONE GIRL WHO LOOKS EXACTLY, LIKE THE GIRL WHO KILLED MY BROTHER. YOU KILLED MY NEW FRIEND, THE BROTHER OF MY BOYFRIEND. HOW COULD YOU DO THIS. YOU KNOW WHAT, STUFF THIS, DON'T ASK FOR MY HELP ANYMORE. I'M FINE BY MYSELF."

Stefan, Bonnie and the Gilbert blinked at me. Obviously shocked by my outburst. Damon just smirked with a raised eyebrow.

"Did I hear that right? Your 'boyfriend'?" He chuckled sarcastically. "Oh this is great. Wonderful! You've fallen for Elijah haven't you."

I groaned, and started stomping up the stairs, but he zipped in front of me. He narrowed his eyes and growled.

"You're lucky Elijah is on our side. But he won't be, once he knows what we did to his brother. I strongly suggest you sort out who are the good guys and who are the bad Abby. You can't side with both."

I glared back at him. "Well maybe I'm not on your side anymore."

I swiftly turned around and stomped up the rest of the stairs, into my room, then slammed the door as hard as I could, nearly taking it off it's hinges in the process.

I could hear the shocked silence from downstairs.

After about 10 seconds, I heard Damon crack his fingers and command the humans.

"I think, you should leave now."

I heard them slowly walk out of the house.

Maybe my outburst was wrong, maybe I wasn't on a side, but I did not want Elijah to be hurt. No matter what.

####

Elijah's POV:

When Abby left, I was so happy. Perhaps, the happiest I had been in decades. Heck, maybe even centuries. I knew, she was the one for me.

Walking back from the water, from our stroll, I couldn't stop the smile on my face. But somehow, that was all faltered when I reached the grounds.

There was an eery silence. And when I walked in to the dining room, there were signs of a struggle. Blood bags strapped to a chair, holes in walls, blood stains on the carpet. What had happened, I don't know. But I was going to find out.

I pulled out my phone and called Klaus. He always seems to know everything. But after about 5 seconds, I could hear his phone ringing, in the house. I traced the sound to his bedroom upstairs, in his jacket pocket. Something was wrong. He always had his phone on him.

I tried Kol, to no avail, and finally, Rebekah.

She answered in a rush.

"Lijah? Lijah what's happened, Klaus isn't answering his phone, the doppleganger's in hospital, and Alaric is still roaming the streets."

I sighed. "Rebekah. You're not going to like what I'm thinking."

####

Stefan's POV:

I was upset. Upset about Abby.

Me and her, before she moved, had been almost best friends. We knew eachother inside out, and when Greyson died, I felt her pain, and grieved along side her. That's why it was such a shock she left so suddenly.

And now she was back, I thought everything would be perfect. I had Elena, Abby, and now my brother was being nice, and not going around killing random citizens.

But somehow, I knew that her being back here, would clash. So much had changed. The Mikaelsons. All the hybrids. All the witches. I think she was overwhelmed.

I sat on the couch in front of the fireplace drinking some scotch, while Damon paced around nervously, looking up at her room every few seconds. I wasn't normally a drinker. But I needed it tonight.

After so long of being quiet, Damon finally piped up.

"Do you think she really meant it? About being on 'their side?'"

He whispered, so her vampire senses couldn't hear. I whispered back.

"I don't know Damon, I feel like I don't know her anymore. But I know that I love Elena. And if her and Elijah feel that strongly about eachother, well, we don't want to get in the way of that. All I want is for her to be happy. And Elijah is a nobleman, who keeps his word."

Damon scoffed.

"Stefan! We just locked his brother up and staked him! We're going to drop him at the bottom of the Atlantic! How noble do you think he'll turn out eventually! I have seen Elijah Mikaelson rip out two vampires hearts at the same time. And two werewolves. He's ruthless."

I sipped my drink in deep thought. There were some up sides too this.

"Hey, at least it wasn't Klaus she fell in love with? She would've staked you by now, and chopped your head off. And possibly mine. And Elena's."

He rolled his eyes at me, and stopped pacing.

"Stop looking on the 'bright side of things.' There is none, okay. We need to fix the bad, and so there can be good. And too fix the bad, we need to lock Abby in the cellar, until she sees the error in her ways."

I chuckled at my brother's naiveness.

"If she really is in love Damon, a few days, or even weeks in a cellar, isn't going to stop her. Remember Katherine, Damon? I imagine that's how Abby feels at this very moment. And we have to support that."

He shouted in frustration, and grabbed my glass from my hand, throwing it into the fire. I had the perfect comment in my head about how his anger was just like Klaus. But I had the feeling too save that for later.

I decided to go up to talk to Abby. Maybe I could reason with her, or just see her point of view. I needed to look like the good brother.

As usual.

####

Abby's POV:

I had been sitting on my bed, half in thought, half listening to Damon's yell fest downstairs, when I heard footsteps coming closer.

Before I could get up to block the door, Stefan came in, and quietly closed the door behind him, before sitting down on my bed. We sat there for 5 minutes, not saying anything. He was obviously trying to show that he meant peace, that he was sorry. He wanted me to forgive him.

And it was working.

Grrrrr. I sat up, deciding the silence had lasted long enough, and asked him a straight up question.

"Did you know that I was with Elijah? Any of you?"

He looked up, and I stared right into his eyes, forcing him into a straight answer. He coughed, before reluctantly speaking.

"No. We didn't. We had no idea." He said calmly. "But, I can't speak for Damon, doesn't he claim he knows everything?"

I sighed. "I have had time to think, and I get your reasons to kill Klaus. He was threatening Elena, the one that you love, and she wasn't safe while he was around. But Elijah, he has now lost 4 family members. Three. In the period of, what? 5 weeks? The Mikaelson family may not seem like they care, but, I think you know, he is the one that cares the most."

He smiled at me uneasily. "I know. And I trust Elijah, and I trust your judgement. I hope you two are very happy together." He sat up straighter, and looked into the distance. "I just need to know, that you won't hurt any of us, or do anything stupid to save his feelings. He has had 1000 years of practice, and we can bring Klaus to life again, when Elena has lived out her lifetime. I'll make sure of that."

I looked back at him. "You really mean that?"

He nodded. I folded my fingers together and sighed once more.

"Well I guess I better go apologise to Elena then, come with me?"

I gestured out the window, and he nodded.

In a flash, we were running towards the Glbert's, not even bothering to tell Damon where we went.

####

As I got there, Elena was sitting at the table, drinking a coffee. She looked worried, and exhausted.

Stefan walked on in, knocking on the way, gesturing for me to follow.

As soon as she saw me, she backed up against a wall, and widened her eyes. I felt so bad.

"Elena, I'm not here to hurt you, don't worry." I laughed, and she loosened up.

"I'm here to apologise. Although I don't fully support your desicion, I understand your reason. I won't get involved in any of this, I promise."

She nodded, with a sigh of relief. "Thankyou."

I smiled. I hadn't noticed till now that she looked weak, and had Matt over to take care of her.

"I'm so sorry about what he did too you."

She looked down. "Don't worry. I'm fine now, I'm feeling over-cottled." She got up from her blankets and walked out of the room.

Matt looked exasperated. "So you're just going to let her call the shots?" He looked to Stefan for help.

"I let her make her own desicions." Stefan nodded.

"Even if they're wrong?" Matt shot back.

"There's nothing wrong with free will Matt. Trust me. You don't realise that till you lose it." Stefan nodded.

Matt shrugged and folded the blankets up.

From the hallway we heard Elena gasp.

"Stefan." She muttered.

I flipped around to see none other than Elijah, standing off Elena, with a smug grin.

He flicked a glance at me, smiled, then turned to Stefan.

"Hello again."
