Mystic Falls Parallel World

Witch House

Elijah plucked a mug from the cupboard and poured a jasmine tea into it.

The phone rang and he turned around startled.

Swishing over to it, he picked it up.

"Hi."- he heard Wendy's friendly voice on the other said of the line.

"Hello."- Elijah replied and paused as he knew the witch called to check upon him.

"A friend of the family has finally arrived. What is the best time to meet you."

"Whenever you wish."- Elijah replied.

"All right. We'll be there in an hour. Is there anything you need? I got some extra blood bags."

"I am fine. Oh, yes. Please, could you maybe pick up the LP's from your niece's shop?"- Elijah said.

"Sure. All right. We will be there soon."- Wendy said and hung up.

Hanging up the phone himself, he shut his eyes for a moment. 

Though they had spent only a couple of weeks in this house, and the first week was so very strained, he was with her. He was close to his lovely Elena. 

And then they made up in the most blissful way he could have imagined. Everything seemed that things would be right. That he could have a chance of happiness.

But how could he be so foolish as to believe that he was be granted this. To finally have love, peace, home.

He closed his eyes. He could feel her lips on his.
Their velvety softness, still so vividly imprinted.

This dream was short, but this dream was happy. His heart murmurred silently.

Opening his eyes, he stared at the blank nothing in front of him.

Flashback

Three months ago

"He is here"- Freya Beauchamp shouted to her aunt finding the Original laying in the circle of the Witch chapel at the edge of the Gardiner's old Estate.

"Is he dead?"- Wendy asked kneeling down next to her niece.

"No."- the noble Asgard witch said as she felt the Original's heart ticking faintly under her palm.

"What is it?"- the older witch asked seeing her niece's face furrow.

"I can feel the residue of the dark magic. Ok. We need to get him out of the circle."

Undoing the magic of the circle still lingering on, the witches pulled Elijah out of it.

Freed from the constraints of the dark magic, he breathed the air in deeply, putting his hand in the chest.

"Elena?"- Elijah said as he stood up, moving his trying to find his focus, but his eyes continued to linger in darkness.

"She is gone - back to the other - your world. She is safe."- Wendy replied.

Elijah stood quiet for a moment. The news burnt him, but he was relieved that no harm came to his love.

"Are you all right?"- Wendy said as Elijah now rubbed his eyes.

"I can't see. I - don't understand."- the Original replied.

Hours later

"I do not know what she wanted. I guess, she tried to kill me."- Elijah said to Dean-"I am a shell of - the being I was before."

"I am sorry."- Dean said.

"I deserve this. I have done things - huh- I am not proud of."

"I heard that you also saved our whole magic world here, inadvertently, too. At least that's what my grandmother-s Grimoire said."- Dean interupted.

"I am still amazed to here this. And that - you so sound like my brother Kol. Huh- I have failed him so badly as well."

Dean could see that the Original vampire was in a very bad place and that all hope had left him.

He wanted to give him some good news, but he still was not hundred percent sure if they would ever be able to open the portal between the two worlds.

"Nothing is ever entirely hopeless.  That's also one of my grandmother's wise words."- Dean said -"and I guess, if we find a way to send you back, you will have loads of amends to do."

"So you think that you can find a way?"- Elijah's undead heart leapt up at the prospect.

Dean sighed a little.

"There is a possibility, but it is very slim. I don't want you to bring your hopes up. Your sister has sealed the passage with her magic. None of us here hold this kind of powerful magic."- Dean said.

"And yet you believe there is hope?!"

"Uhm- yes - but as I said don't get too hopeful - we might not be able to do it." - Dean warned.

"It is all I got left. I thought that the Pandora's box let that one out on this side."- Elijah said.

"That is so sealed."- Dean said.

"Thank you." - Elijah then said.

"What are you thanking me for?"

"For bringing back a glimmer of sunshine."

"You're welcome."

In Mystic Falls

Alaric's house

Elena put the box of some of the Elijah's stuff she took from the Mikaelson Mansion on the bed.

"Knock, knock"- Katherine said as she slanted her body on the door frame.

"What is it? I am not in the mood."- Elena said.

"I've just come to tell you that Caroline and Bonnie are on their way with a load of ice-cream. A chick-flick."

"I am not in the mood, I said."- Elena said and now took Elijah's cufflinks out placing them on the chest of drawers.

"Look, I know what you are going through-" - Katherine walked.

Elena abrutly turned to the doppelganger her eyes widening in the mixture of disbelief and surprise.

"I was in love, too."

Elena now rolled her eyes, pulling a photo of Elijah, Klaus had given her.

"I was."- Katherine insisted-"back in my village in Bulgaria. His name was Vassil. I knew him since we were 5 years old. We were always together. He was - my first. I wanted to marry him. Grow old with him. He was - everything."

The way Katherine's eyes watered, made Elena give the brunette a moment of her time.

"What happened?"

"He died of pneumonia."- Katherine replied, pausing, before she continued -"he was the best - no one was so good."

"I'm sorry."- Elena said emphatically.

"Yeah."- Katherine made a little sigh, straightening her sweater-"Life is a bitch. And you can't let her take over."

The doppelganger now turned her look to Elijah's photo and said-

"He was the only one that had as pure a soul as Vassil."

As the doorbell went and  Katherine exited, Elena took the photo and whispered -

"I love you, always and forever"
