Chapter 11

Months passed but Mystic Falls never quieted down. 

First, the white oak stake that can be made out of the wood of the wickery bridge, which Sage burned down but she forgot the sign of the Wickery Bridge, a sign made out of the same wood as the bridge. 

Esther coming back to town and turning Alaric Saltzman into a Vampire killing machine. It nearly killed Klaus and Rebekah and the rest of the Originals. 

Finn had actually died and took all the Vampires he made, meaning Sage and all the Vampires she turned and so on, with him. 

Rebekah managed to get Matt run of the road, killing Elena in the process as she didn't want Stefan to save her but Matt first when they went down, making Elena turn into a Vampire. 

There were Hunters in town that took in every Vampire, including Rebekah when they got her. Klaus took possession of Tyler's body and saved Caroline instead of his own sister. 

The Council blew themselves up after the Vampires left. 

Rebekah made sure that Niklaus had no more Döppelganger blood. 

There was a cure for Vampirism but the lovely Katherine Pierce took it out of Silas' hands, killing Jeremy Gilbert to wake him up so she could get it and ran off, no one knew where she went to but a hunt was set up. 

When Elena finally broke down, Damon told her to turn her Humanity off, which she did and that resulted in her burning down her old house with Jeremy's body. 

Silas was tormenting the town, appearing as whoever he wants but has yet to come to Adelaide. 

Talking about Adelaide, she was heartbroken after what Elijah did. She didn't leave Adeline's bedside, who was still in a coma. She occasionally checked up with Niklaus or Rebekah when they came around. Niklaus had found out about her being the other Hybrid but accepted her and was happy to have his old best friend back. She always got him, which he was thankful for. 

One day, Adelaide got a phone call from Rebekah who was out with Humanless Elena. 

"Beks, what is it?" Adelaide asked, waking up a bit more. 

"Oh sorry, Addy, did I wake you?" 

"Yeah, but it's fine, now what is it?" Adelaide sat up a bit more. 

"I need you to come and help, please. We found Katherine, we're in Willoughby." 

"Pennsylvania?" Adelaide groaned. "I'll be there soon." 

An hour later, because she took a flight, Adelaide was in Pennsylvania. She had bought a very last minute ticket after she sped to the airport and got on the first flight, which- Lucky Adelaide- left ten minutes after. The flight only took 55 minutes so she got there fast. She went to the nearest woods before she ran as well. 

Soon, she got to Willoughby and called Rebekah again. 

"I'm here, where are you?" 

"How did you get here so fast?" 

"It's called an airplane, Beks, you know- it flies. Anyway, where are you?" 

"The diner." 

"Be there in a sec." 

She hung up and her phone pinged, meaning she had a text. 

Need you here, come as soon as possible. -Nik. 

I'm not in Mystic Falls. Willoughby. Call someone else. -Addy.

Pennsylvania? I'll call Caroline. -Nik.

Adelaide cringed at that. Caroline still wasn't his biggest fan, definitely not after what happened when Niklaus took Tyler's body. 

Fine. See you soon. -Addy. 

Adelaide put her phone away and walked into the diner. Only Rebekah was there with Katherine, Elena nowhere in sight. However, the Salvatore brothers were there instead. 

Adelaide walked over and heard them talking. 

"So let me get this straight: I tell you where Elena is, you shove the cure down her throat, and then I end up in a box, right? I don't think so." Rebekah rehashes. 

"What about you over there, smiley? Do you know where she is?" Damon asked Katherine, who sat there smiling as if she knew something the others didn't. 

Adelaide ticked Stefan's shoulder, who looked up and smiled at her before moving a bit so she could join. 

"Are we having fun?" Adelaide asked. 

"No, they don't want to tell where Elena is." Damon said, nodding at the two girls in front of them. 

"I can give you a hint. Start by looking at the town morgue. She's probably dead." Katherine said, and when everyone waited for her to elaborate, she finally did it. "She went to meet up with a friend of mine. You may know him-an Original brother, impeccable taste." 

Elijah. She immediately listen up. She had spent a long time moping over him. She had considerd calling him, messaging him through magic, locating him and looking him up but she never did. She always remembered his words. 

There's nothing here keeping me. 

Nothing. She meant nothing to him. That's what he basically said because she was there and she wanted to keep him there. She didn't want him to leave. She wanted him to stay with her. But, she was nothing. Not to him. 

"Elijah." Rebekah said. 

"Elijah's here?" Damon asked. 

Stefan spoke. "Well, you sort of have to question Elijah's impeccable taste if he's friends with you." 

Stefan and Adelaide had gotten drunk together a lot of times over the past months, definitely after Elena left him for Damon so they became closer. They were great friends now and was the first one she'd call if she needed help. When he heard something about her, he'd stick up for her. He came by the hospital every day to visit her and Adeline. 

"Oh, when I say friend, I mean friend." Katherine elaborated. 

Adelaide leaned in closer, not believing what Katherine was saying. "I'm sorry, what?" 

Everyone looked at her. Stefan and Damon, and well everybody else, knew of her past and how she had fallen in love with Elijah more than a thousand years ago. 

"It probably took him about ten seconds to realise that she wasn't me, at which point he probably yanked her heart right out of her chest." Katherine said, not getting it. 

"All right. Where are they?" Stefan asked, losing his patience.

Adelaide turned to Rebekah. "Beks, you do realise if something should happen to Elena, you have no chance of finding the cure, right?" She knew how much Bekah wanted to be human again and she couldn't blame her but they both knew that she wouldn't get it without Elena. 

"Fine. They were supposed to meet at the gazebo by the park." Bekah confesses. 

Adelaide and Stefan got up. "We'll go talk to Elijah."

"Addy..." Rebekah started. 

Adelaide shook her head. "We'll go talk to Elijah."
