"It's nice to meet you Andrea. I'm Elijah mikaelson" he extended he's his hand out to me and I shook it

"Hi Elijah"

"I'm here to talk to you about my brother" he said getting straight to his point

"I'm going to talk to Elena after and maybe we could create a plan with the salvatores to get the stake from Alaric. Then we will scatter to the ends of the earth" I didn't bother protesting

"Klaus, he's been desiccated. They're not going to undo it Elijah" I said knowing no matter what I could say to them they wouldn't undo it

"I'm going to take his body" he states like it's easy

"I'm gonna ask them to give him back but I'm not going to undo it. Not for a long time" I nodded keeping my eyes down

"He doesn't deserve this" I whispered

"Just like how neither of you did. And although I love klaus, what he did to you all was horrendous. But if you do that, If you keep him in a box for centries. You'll be as bad as him"

"You love.. my brother?" my eyes widen as I then caught on to what I said

"No, I- I- we haven't even known each other that long"

"Andrea. There is no time frame for when a person can fall in love with another, it just happens. It's spontaneous, unpredictable, it's timeless. Do you love klaus?" He repeats

"Yes"

"It's nice to hear, my brother has been lonely, mostly without a lover through his 1000 years and I'm glad it's you"

"Thank you Elijah"

"It's no problem. Do you want me to take you home? I'm going there anyways to talk to Elena"

"Thank you" I mumble getting up out of my seat

"All we need is to take the stake away from him. Once he's been disarmed... the weapons in my possession my family will scatter to the ends of the earth.. and Alaric will follow us." I sat on the chair on the table with my face directed at the floor

"And you'll just run?"

"We've done it before. Klaus and Rebekah spent the better part of 1000 years evading my father. What's another half century while Elena's able to live out her natural life?"

"We finally stopped him Elijah. After everything he's done to us I can't just let you bring him back"

"I give you my word Elena. I will not revive klaus within yours, nor your children's lifetimes" Elijah looked to me for a moment

"Why should she trust you?" Matt asked walking forward

"All you've done is screw her over"

"And for that, I'm deeply ashamed. But know this. She could've been dead the instant I walked through that door tonight. So Elena, I leave it to you to make the decision.. whether to trust me or not"

"Not. Hello?" Damon speaks over the phone

"Did that concussion give you brain damage? His lunatic siblings will kill you the first chance they get!"

"Rebekah and kol will honour the terms. If you get klaus' body to us.. Elena will come to no harm. Do we have a deal?"

Damon: "No! No, no, no. Did I mention no?"

Stefan: "Elena, it's up to you"

"Oh come on!" Damon groans

Elena: "Why do you want klaus' body?"

"He's my brother. We remain together" Elena takes a deep breath before finally making her decision

"We have a deal" we brought Jeremy in and told him to get Alaric on the phone

"I know where klaus' body is... Damon's on his way to bury him in the woods off Route 12. I'll text you with specifics" he hung up the phone after another few seconds

"He bought it" Elijah nodded and made his way to the door and I followed him. He turned to face me as he stood outside

"I'm so sorry this is such an inconvenience to you Andrea" I nod tears pricking my eyes

"He's your brother too, you don't need to pretend it doesn't hurt" he smiled slightly and hugged me

"We'll see each other again soon Andrea. I have a feeling this is not the end" he pulled away and exited the house not looking back so I walked upstairs to my room ready to sleep

I woke up groaning at the sudden noise but once I realised it was my phone I picked it up and put it to my ear

"Andrea" I heard Rebekah on the other line. My eyes widened

"Rebekah? What's wrong?"

"Klaus" she sniffled

"He's gone" I shook my head ignoring the fact that she can't see me

"He's not gone" I whispered

"He can't be"

"I watched him die. I'm so sorry" I sniffled and broke down

"I'm so sorry Rebekah" she cried on the other side of the phone as well

"I can't believe he's gone"

"Neither can I, I just can't get my head wrapped around it"

"Im so sorry Rebekah. I got to go" I mumbled before hanging up the phone and curling in on myself

I walked downstairs ten minutes later and saw Jeremy standing still next to the staircase

"Jeremy" I sniffled. He didn't say anything for a moment. He didn't look up at me and kept his face staring at nothing, with a phone to his ear

"Alaric is dead And Elena. Is a vampire" I looked down at him

"Why are we losing everyone jer?" I walked down the stairs and into his arms, both of us shedding silent tears

"I'm sorry about klaus too. Even though he's tried to kill everyone many times, I know you liked him" I nodded and tightened my hold on him

"Elena's coming back tonight but she should be awake in the morning"

—-

Me and Jeremy walked into elenas room in the morning after she woke up and Jeremy quickly went to give her a hug while i stayed behind

"Are you okay? I watched vicki go through this. She was a mess. Her emotions were all over the place. All those memories came flooding back"

"I fine. I'm not Vicki"

"No you're you. You act like everything's okay so no one worries about you. But you need help"

"I said I'm fine, okay?" She said getting a bit aggressive against him

"I-I'm fine okay?" She ran a hand across her face

"Have you talked to Bonnie?"

"Yeah, she said when I was shot, she pleaded to the witch spirits to bring me back. And they listened"

"Yeah but the consequences were horrible"

"More horrible than you turning into a vampire?" Elena looked taken back at his words and I sighed

"Jeremy"

"I need you as my sister.. not another one of them" she nodded

"We're gonna find a way out of this. Everything's gonna be okay"

"I hope so" he said before walking off, me following behind him.

"I'm gonna go to Rebekah. And see how she's doing. Are you gonna be okay?" He nods

"Yeah, be careful"

"I will" I say before exiting the house. I turn to put my keys in the door to lock it and when I turn back to walk there's 2 people standing in front of me, with badges around there neck

"Your gonna have to come with me ma'am I have sources that your one of them" I look at him confused

"Who?" he punches the side of my head and catches my body just before it drops to the floor

I groaned trying to get out of the ropes, wincing as they burned against my skin and looked to Caroline who was next to me

"Vervain ropes. Looks like Alaric outed us all to the council."

"The council? What exactly do l they think they can do to me?" I hear footsteps and me and Caroline go silent, wincing as the door opens shining the sunlight into our eyes. We hear a thud and whatever it was gets thrown on the van floor before they're tied up next to us

"Andrea?" I gasped looking at her bleeding head

"What are you doing to her?! She's not one of us!" The guy laughed

"I know. I just hate vampire lovers" he smirked before leaving the van and getting in the front seat

"Andrea. Andrea wake up" Caroline tried. She groaned tilting her head as her body fought against her unconsciousness

"Rebekah? Caroline?" She whimpered

"Rebekah? Caroline?"

"What's going on?" I winced as a wave of pain flowed through my head like a deadly headache

"Alaric outed us to the council. I'm guessing your here for interrogation

"Oh, that's nice" I mumbled feeling my eyes close

"Andrea! Andrea don't fall asleep!" It all happened fast. There was glass everywhere, I felt like I was falling, I was going in and out of consciousness. After the effects stopped I looked around to see the van wrecked

"What the hell happened?" Rebekah groaned but I couldn't speak. I heard a noise and looked to see Tyler breaking down the door and jumping up
