Was Elena Gilbert nervous? Elijah was the only original vampire that she trusted. His words in her memory were like music. They stuck to her in a way that no such others could. When it came to the original family of vampires she both liked and trusted Elijah the most but that was only a matter of comparison. Did she really trust him? Did she truly trust anyone who was not Jeremy or Bonnie Bennett or Caroline Forbes or Matt Donovan or Tyler Lockwood or The Salvatore Brothers? No. She did not.
She had signed herself out with Elijah so she would not worry the council or those on sentry but she knew that if Damon or Stefan saw her name beside Elijah's that they would be nervous. The originals could be tricky. You never could guarantee what side they were on. That said Elena genuinly liked Elijah and she understood on some basic primal level that he liked her too.
"Nervous?"
She blinked her doe dark eyes at him in faux confusion. "Is there a reason why I should be nervous?"
She came to a stop in front of him and looked up at his chiseled handsome face. In another life time she could have easily fallen in love with Elijah. As soon as the thought crossed her mind she tried to banish it just in case Damon was listening in.
