{Summary: So, in 2x08, Stefan and Damon hadn't shown up in time, and Elijah ended up taking Elena. What Elena didn't know, was that Elijah was not planning on taking her to Klaus and sacrificing her.}

"It's impossible." Elijah couldn't stop staring at her. Exactly like Katerina.

Elena was trembling. An Original, one of the most powerful vampires of the world was standing centimeters from her. And he wouldn't stop looking at her.

He slightly titled his head to the side, giving her a coy smile. "Hello there." Those simple words gave Elena a shiver down her spine. He was intimidating.

Elijah must have noticed her reaction, because his eyes flashed.

He stepped even closer. Elena backed up almost immediately. Elijah was amused by her fear. "Well," he started, not taking his eyes off of her, "we have long journey ahead of us. We should be going."

Elena's eyes left his, looking behind him at Rose and Trevor, who were standing there. "Please, don't let him take me," she begged.

Neither Rose of Trevor moved. They seemed helpless in the situation, although their freedom would be granted soon. Rose gave her a look of pity.

Elijah tried to ignore the desperation in the girl's voice. It wasn't like she was REALLY going to get sacrificed. "One last piece of business." Her eyes had tears in them. "Then we're done."

Elena was horrified at what she just witnessed. Elijah had just murdered Trevor. In the most brutal way possible.

She could hear Rose sobbing. Elena sympathized her. Her best friend of over 500 years was gone.

Elena's next thought was how much of a monster Elijah was. Did he not even blink at what he just did? She gave Elijah a look of disgust.

He ignored it. Instead, he held out his hand to her. "Come," he ordered. With what he just did, Elijah would've thought Elena would have complied without fight. In fear of him.

Instead, she backed away. "But what about the moonstone?" she blurted.

Elijah was immediately caught. "What do you know about the moonstone?" he questioned her.

Elena tried to attempt to strike a deal with him. "I know that you need it, and I know where it is."

He waited for her to continue. "Yes?" Elijah looked at her as if he was staring straight into her soul.

"I…I…" Elena had trouble keeping her voice even. "I can help you get it."

Elijah raised an eyebrow. "Tell me where it is."

Elena shook her head. "It doesn't work that way."

He looked at her, leaning closer. There was a glint of deadly amusement in his eyes. "Are you negotiating with me?"

He turned to Rose to see if she thought it too. "It's the first I've heard of it," the vampire said coldly, glaring at Elijah.

Elijah turned back to Elena, looking deep into her eyes. It wouldn't be that hard to compel her. His pupils dilated, and he never broke his gaze from her. This was just a test to see if she had vervain on her.

He glanced down at her neck, more specifically, her necklace. "What is this vervain doing around your neck?"

Immediately he grasped the necklace, and ripped if off, the clasp undoing. Elena gasped in surprise. Elijah threw the necklace behind him.

Elena instinctively tried to lean away, eyes trying to look anywhere but his.

He grabbed her face in a bruising grasp, trying to force her into looking into his eyes. Elena tried to pull away. Elijah pulled her closer, until she had no choice but to look into his eyes. "Tell me where the moonstone is," he commanded in a deep, mesmerizing voice.

Elena was instantly caught and under his control. "In the tomb underneath the church ruins," she answered in monotone.

"What is it doing there?"

Elena had no control over what she said or did. "It's with Katherine."

"Interesting," Elijah said curiously. He dropped her gaze.

Elena felt guilty and ashamed. That was her last shot at freeing herself. Now there was no way of getting out of this.

Elijah simply smirked "You see? Easy." Taking her arm forcefully, he dragged her past Rose to the entrance of the house. Rose followed behind. "It was pleasant doing business with you, Rose. I'm glad one vampire in this house knows the true meaning of loyalty."

Elena struggled. Elijah had to hold onto her tighter. He ordered Rose to open the front door, and he walked out, lugging the fighting girl behind him.

The small Katerina doppelganger put up a good fight for her size. That Elijah had to admit. She did not plead, she was not begging for her release; she just struggled while he dragged her through the woods. In fact, she was very quiet.

Then she stumbled and Elijah heard her cry out softly. The strong scent of blood hit him, and he immediately stopped walking.

He slowly turned, to find Elena sitting on the ground, staring at her bloody knee. To Elijah's horror, his first impulse was to feed on her. He hadn't felt such desire in over a thousand years. Her scent was mesmerizing, the sweet blood trickling down her leg; calling to him, only him—

Snap out of it.

He almost lost control. His lust was almost too strong to restrain, and Elijah had almost attacked her right then and there. "Are you okay?" he tried to asked in a composed voice.

Elena glared up at him. "Like you care."

Honestly, she was right. Elijah did not care. He was just trying to get the best conditions for his captive doppelganger.

He chuckled at her boldness. Then his face turned serious again. "Would you like some of my blood?" he offered.

Immediately, Elena said "No."

Unexpectedly, she tried to turn and run.

Elijah got to her even before she stood up. His arms held her in place. He smirked at her. "Seriously, who do you think you're dealing with? Did you not see what I did to that vampire Trevor back there?"

Elena squirmed until he let go of her. She stepped back automatically when he did. "You won't hurt me."

"Uh huh. And why do you think that?"

She held her head up defiantly. "Because you need me for the sacrifice."

Oh. Elijah hadn't told her what he really needed her for. He decided to explain.

"Actually, I didn't take you because I needed you for the sacrifice."
