The Vampire Diaries: Trinity

Chapter Forty One: Klaus

Elena sits on the ground, waiting for the Original to wake up. Elijah wakes with a gasp and she rushes over to him. "Elijah."

"Katerina!"

Flashback: England, 1492

Trevor is speaking with a woman when Elijah walks up to him. "Ah, good evening, Trevor. I am pleased you could join us."

"I could not miss the birthday celebration." He smiles.

"No, considering the gift you claim to bear. Where is this mystery girl of which you speak?"

"Right this way." He leads Elijah across the room. "My dear."

Katherine turns around. "Hello." She greets. Elijah looks at her in shock.

Present

"Elijah! It's me, it's Elena."

"Oh, my God."

"Forgive me. You remind me of someone." Elijah tells her.

"Katerina, may I introduce the lord Elijah." Trevor says.

She takes his hand and bows. "Pleasure, my lord."

"The pleasure's mine. Katerina." Elijah kisses her hand.

Present

He closes his eyes. Elena gets closer but his body spasms. He sits up. "I can't-I can't breathe! What's happening to me?" He rushes over the door but stammers against the doorway. She rushes over to him and holds him up. "I can't...I can't be in this house."

"You're not invited in." She realizes.

"Then get me out of here." He slams into another wall and disappears. Elena runs after him and goes to the front door. Elijah is outside. He tries to enter but he can't. "What happened?"

"Shh!" She motions to her ears, indicating that the others can hear. "I'll tell you. Not here. Can I trust you?" She whispers.

"Can I trust you?"

She gives him the dagger.

Stefan wakes up and sees that Elena is not there. He goes downstairs. "Elena!" He sees Andie. "Hey."

"Hey." She smiles.

"Have you seen Elena?"

"Uh, no."

Damon rejoins her. "Hi, sweetie. Oh, my coffee." He kisses her.

"Good morning."

"Mm, good morning."

"Hey, where's Elena?" Stefan asks.

"I don't know, Stefan. It's your girlfriend. Mine's right here." He looks at Andie. "Oh, and how's the shoulder? Got time for a bite? I'm so hungry."

"Oh, it's really messy. Can you just use a blood bag today?" She says. Stefan is on the phone and looks at them. "I'm already late for work."

"No!" He pouts.

Stefan leaves a message to Elena. "Hey, it's me. Where are you? Call me." He hangs up and sees the couple kissing. "What are you doing? She's not a wind-up toy."

Andie looks at him. "It's really none of your business, is it, Stefan?"

"Yeah. What she said." Damon smiles.

"I have to go to work." She kisses him.

"Ugh!" He groans. "Bye." She leaves. Stefan sees that the basement door is open. He rushes over it. Damon follows him. Stefan arrives at the cellar and sees that Elijah's not here. "No, she didn't."
