Lake house. Elena opens the door. Elijah stands in front of. He can't enter it.

"I might not enter this house...but I am a very patient man... I will wait you out"- Elijah says.

"Hm..."- Elena says- "They shouldn't have done what they did..."- she looks at him with in a slightly challenging manner.

"The deal is off!!"- Elijah says.

"I am re-negotiating..."

"You have nothing left to negotiate with..."- he says in a stern manner.

Elena shows a dagger.

"I'd like to see you lure Klaus in Mystic Falls after the doppelganger bleeds to death..."- she retorts.

"Stefan won't let you die..."- Elijah says smug.

"No...he won't...he will feed me his blood to heal me and then I will kill myself and become a vampire just like Katherine did..."- she says waiting for his reaction.

She can see that he is rethinking it. She continues.

"So unless you won't this happen again...promise me...like you promised me before...you will not harm anyone I love...?!"

"No, Elena... I have to call your bluff..."

Elena stabs herself.

"AHHH"- she screams.

Elena woke up  in a shot  looking around the room.

"It was a dream....?!"- she gasped realizing it after a few seconds seeing she was in her bed in her New York apartment. Then she looked at the clock. It was 2 p.m.

"This needs to stop..."- she muttered to herself and then got up. Went to the kitchen to get some juice.

Then her mind swayed to the  vampire clan and its attmept to raise the prehistoric vampire, whose blood would make them more vigilant and dangerous.

"A whole new species will be made..."- Elena remembered Liv explaining what would happen if the clan manages to raise him.

Flashback

"I have to talk to you, Elena"- her mother came to her one day. It was a lovely summer afternoon, a few days before her birthday.

"Ok..."- Elena said and sat down on the porch of their house in Mystic Falls.

"You know that you are special..."

"Mom...stop it...what is going on...you have the same look when something bad happened..."- Elena said.

Isobel sighed.

"Oh my sweety...it's not bad...it's different... it's about you"

Elena's phone rang bringing her away from thoughts of the past.

"Liv?!"- Elena said simply.

"It's a fake..."- the witch said- "should have known..."

"Do we know where it will be?"- Elena then asked

"You guess is as good as mine... we have nothing to conects me with the clan now..."- Liv said.

"Right..."- Elena said sighing.

"Are you all right?"

"Yes...it's the dreams... had one again... I am fine... oh...I feel like the order of the universe is changing... "

"I didn't only call you because of the amulet...it's about Elijah...and when you talked about vampiric species...he is not from here..."

"Excuse me...?!"

"He is from a different reality that is for sure..."- Liv confirmed.

"But he is a vampire?!"- Elena concluded.

"Yes...but he was turned by magic...dark magic....but it is also unusual...because he is not an ordinary vampire... there are traces of witch blood in him...but the craziest thing is that there are traces of your blood in him..."

"What?...He didn't drink of me...noone can drink of me?!"- Elena said surprised.

"I don't know, Elena..."

"Huh...  maybe  we are conected because of that?"- she then slipped out.

"Maybe... but you said that he knew the two women that look exactly like you..."

"I have to see him again...and don't really want to..."- Elena said.

"I can spell you again..."- Liv said- "but it can only last so long..."

"From a spell to a spell....I don't want to live like that..."

"I am sorry..."

"ahm... Caroline is on the other line...talk to you later"- Elena switched over to Caroline's call.

"Yes... what...going out tonight with Nik?!... "- Elena remarked as Caroline told her what her schedule was like for the evening.

"I need to find out if he also is a werewolf..."

"At least you sound happy..."- Elena said. Then she updated her on the latest info Liv had given her.

Rebekah and Sophie arrived in New York some time in the morning.

After their quick chat, Elijah had left them.

"What's up with him?"- Rebekah made a comment about Elijah's moody vibe.

"He met his dream woman...the fair Elena...but it was not smooth sailing...it turns out she is a vampire hunter..."- Klaus said smirking devilishly.

"Wow...seriously?!"- Rebekah chuckled- " have you seen her?"

"No... I had something better to do..."- Klaus said.

"Can this get even more fantastic?!"- Rebekah continued.

Sophie listened from the sofa and continued switching the channels.

"Love, love, love...."- Rebekah went to the liquor cabinet and mixed herself a bloody Mary.

"Aren't you smitten by your hafling, dear sister?!"- Klaus teased her.

"Jackson and I are having a good time...but with Elijah...it's like 'love of all time' thing!"- Rebekah remarked.

"Jealous, are we?!"- Klaus said and went.

Elijah got out of the bar sometime in the evening. It was an unusal for him to do. He was not the one to get intoxicated, but the emotions that were jumbling inside of him eversince he had seen her the night before, and having spend the most beautiful and the most painful moment turned something inside of him.

In such a drunken state he went to Elena's apartment. As he wanted to knock at her door, he stopped.

"No...don't"- he said to himself.

But he stood there. He then heard her walk towards the door and opened it.

"Elijah...?"- she said.

"I..."- he said trying hard to compose himself.

She could see that he was not in a good state. He had blood on his mouth.

"Blast..."- Elena said and pulled him into her apartment.

"Let's get it over it..."- he then said- "do it..." He looked her directly in the eyes.

"Deep breaths"- Elena tried to focus juggling her hunter's feelings- and then she said- "well...clearly you...are not yourself..."

Then she left him and went to the kitchen to call Liv.

"He is here...do it...ahm...something is not right...well, it looks like he had been drinking..."- Elena said to the witch.

Then she returned to the living room and he stood by the  cabinet looking at the photos of her family.

"Family..."- he uttered.

"Yes..."- Elena said- "my mom and dad... they are dead..."- Elena said.

She could feel the spell work and soon she felt relieved that things seemed to be bearable again.

"Why are you here.... I mean...I know...but..."- Elena came up to him.

He put the photograph down on the cabinet.

"I am a lowlife ...and I acted as one...part of me saying - no... you know your weakness...don't sucumb to it... I am not a noble man... you said it once..."

"Ook...it looks like you shouldn't mix alcohol..."- Elena said.

"I repulse you... if you kill me...you will probably not feel a thing...ahh... I am sorry... I need to go...I don't know why I am like this..."- he then said.

"Maybe...you should just lay down..."- Elena then said.

"Lay down?!"

"Aha...we can talk later...come..."- she then said and she urged him to come with her to the bedroom.

"Can this day get any weirder..."- she thought as he sat down on the bed.

"Why am I here... you should end it all...I am not bluffing..."

"Are you calling my bluff?!"- she then muttered as she remembered her dream.

"Your bluff?!"- he repeated.

It was clear to her that he was not making sense.

"Forever more..."- he then said.

"Come on...let's lay down, shall we... let's just make out that this is another of our crazy dreams..."

He closed his eyes and soon the intoxication took over and he fell asleep. So it seemed.

"Vampires don't sleep..."- Elena muttered looking at him, cuddling his head fondly.
