AN: Just to let you all know that I am still working on my other stories that have been published though I am revising-for the third time-the all human story and am going to make it into a one shot or it might have a few chapters (like three or four) as I haven't a clue as to where to take it so it may come down and come right back up

This story will feature Klaus/Tatia in the same Elejah timeline as well as some surprising couples in the future ;)

I hope you all enjoy this time travel story!

Title: See Thine Heart

Author: Aria

Summary: Magic is both a blessing and a curse. It makes amazing things to happen to creating things that shouldn't be created. A week after the sacrifice and Stefan's journey into darkness, Bonnie uses a spell on Elena with disastrous results-she goes into the past and when she comes back... not everything will be roses for Team Mystic Falls

Pairings: Elejah, Klaus/Tatia, and in the other chapters they will be mentioned ;)

Rating: M

AN: I'm taking some liberties with this as I'm changing who Elena danced with at the Miss Mystic Falls pageant as it wasn't Damon but it was Elijah who was Elena's escort while Damon was Caroline's escort and Stelena was never a thing in the romantic sense but in a platonic one

Disclaimer: I don't own this

Prologue: As it began

It's been a week since Stefan left with the Original Hybrid and without his humanity, Elena let him go as he wasn't himself anymore and begun doing the same to Damon which was easy as he was drinking and starting fights with everyone who disagrees with him. She understood where he was coming from-he was lonely but that's where their commonality ends. He didn't want to let him go but he wouldn't, Elena could and did when she knew that his feelings for her weren't as strong as they were for Caroline so it was easy.

Stefan protected Caroline from every threat that was aimed towards her, he tried doing that for the brunette with no hope.

Bonnie looked at Elena with a critical eye. There was a spell in there that was theoretical but as she looked it over once more, it seemed to be a pretty good spell. The spell itself is explanatory as it would take the spelled person into the mind of another person but some of the wording seemed...off.

Though she's never wanted to learn Latin, she thought it was the way the spell was written and for the fact that she can't understand the language anyway.

"I can do this one-the 'see thine heart' spell," the witch told her as she carefully worded what she was saying. "It's not an easy spell but it's also not a difficult one...it just takes you into the mind of someone that you're already thinking of and it wears off when I say 'come back'."

Elena nodded. "Let's do this."

The two were in the witch house when Bonnie began to chant in Latin. Everything seemed alright but suddenly, everything began to crystallize and break until-

A thick grey fog covered Elena from head to toe, causing her to fall asleep while she whispered only one name of the man that was her savior.

"Elijah"

Every memory she had of ever meeting the Original fluttered into her mind one by one-

The first time they met days before her parents died inside the Mystic Falls library

Him saving her from the crash that killed her parents and staying with her while she healed

Him protecting her from a group of men inside the Grill they were having lunch at on her birthday

Them falling in love but having to keep it a secret from everyone as no one would have accepted it

Him telling her about vampires and him trying to push her away only for him not being able to

The first time they were intimate together and the feeling of him feeding off her

Him being her escort when Stefan failed to show up

Him rescuing her from Stefan while he was binge drinking and on a blood junkie high

Him saving her from Rose and Trevor...

The sunlight hit her eyes as soon as she opened them and as she took a look at her surroundings, she knew something was off. Looking down at her clothes, she knew that they were a breathable fabric and judging by the style of the dress as well as her cape, it was sometime in the earlier centuries but she was still unsure.

There wasn't anything she was used to-it was all huts and forests and-

"Miss?" She turned to see...

A very human Elijah staring at her with a dead deer slung over his shoulders. Before, in his suits, she found him attractive but now, just looking at him like this, she felt her face flush with all the naughty scenarios rolling around in her mind.

Shaking her head, she smiled at him.

"I am lost and confused kind sir," she said with a little white lie in a teasing voice. "I am hoping that you can help me find someone to talk to about my sudden appearance here."

She knew that she was in Mystic Falls but she had no idea about the time she was in.

Smiling in a way that she had never seen him do while they were around other people, he took her hand and led her to a hut where a woman with chocolate skin was waiting for her.

"Miss Ayana can help you..." He trailed off as he wasn't sure what her name was.

"Elena." He kissed the back of her hand and nodded. "Elena Gilbert."

"My name is Elijah."

She realized that she must have traveled back in time it when Elijah was a human.

I had seen many stories of Elena time traveling but not many of them have her doing it for the Originals time period so I wanted to do this.

I hope you all enjoy this story!
