Disclaimer: I do not own anything

AN: Inspired by the Klaus taking blood scene and this is a premature apology-I'm writing as much as possible and posting today (Friday) until tonight because I won't have computer access to upload my writing until Sunday night. Sorry!

"Tell me, it'll just between us two." Klaus says.

"What?" Elena asks. He's planning on draining her dry, what else could he possibly-

"Who would you have picked? Between the Salvatores. Not that you'll pick after this, you'll be drained dry of your blood and I will simply have to make due for the next five hundred years- say, you don't think your brother will have children, do you?" He asks, the blood loss making her blink. Blink. Blink. Blink. She's so tired.

"Come on love, would you have picked my mate Stefan, the Ripper?" But he says it like the word ends in an a-and his hands are steel against her arms. She thinks, distantly, that it would have left bruises if she survived. She's already seeing herself as dead, not a good thing-but Tyler is still loyal to Klaus and no one knows where she is.

She looks into the face of the man who has killed her once before. Blink. Blink. Blink. There's something wrong with this picture to her, she can't think of what it is, not with a light head, but when it does hit her, the word spills out.

"Elijah." He's standing a few feet away, looking at her.

"What about my brother? Surely you're not in love with him? He never learns though, he always falls for that face of yours." He says. Elijah puts a finger on his own lips. She gives a little nod.

He's not a hallucination, she learns, as Klaus turns around, and the hybrid is slammed into a wall.

His neck is snapped, and there's something against her face.

"I'm going to get you to a hospital."

"Okay." She says, dizzily, and she blacks out for a moment. She sees Elijah's face leaning over her.

"Elena, stay with me." The words are a gentle command, she wants to follow.

"Okay." She says. She blink, blink, blink, blink, blinks and she's in a familiar place, she doesn't realize he's carrying her until she's set down.

"She's suffering from blood loss." Elijah tells someone. There's a slight pain and she gasps at her arm, her head is too light to think.

She closes her eyes.
