20 The Devil Comes Here And Sighs

Stefanie's POV

- Oh, you should be Stefanie! Nice to meet you! Finally!

- Wow...we do look exactly alike! How is this possible? Oh my God! - I said, surprised by our resemblance.

- Yes, we do. But in reality, I'm much prettier.- she said, with devil eyes.

- What do you want with Elijah? We all parted a long time ago. - Klaus said to Evelyn.

- What kind of question is that? Because you already know the answer. - Evelyn said, coming closer to me, without taking her eyes off me.

- Well, apparently we don't. So how about let us know? Huh? What do you say love?- Klaus said, with a sarcastic tone, and a smirk in his lips.

As for Elijah, he was right there, beside her, standing like a statue.

- Well, I played Elijah today with my charms. And I did it because I knew that he wouldn't even talk to me if I didn't pretend like his new girlfriend. And he fell for it! I just played with an original! Even though I'm one myself...- she said with an ironic tone.

- Calm down love! I'm not going to eat you! Well...not yet, at least. Too bad I do not get to taste your delicious doppelganger blood! - Evelyn said.

My heart was beating very, very fast. It was from the fear, from...from everything that was going on right now!

- Nobody, don't dare to even touch a hair from her!- Elijah said, breaking his mummy-standing, and getting Evelyn's hand away from my neck. His face now was very angry.

- We, Evelyn, back then, we were humans, humans! We were innocent, and practically children! We didn't know what love was. And you becoming a vampire was an accident. You were just in the wrong place, in the wrong circumstances! And for the record, if you did love me, you wouldn't've run away from me! And since then, every bit of feeling that I had for you, has run away. Every bit! If you ever, even try to play with me again, I will take the white oak, and I will shove it to your heart, mercilessly. Now take your junk, and disappear from my house! Now!- Elijah said. I have never seen him that angry before.

Elijah let go of her arm, she looked at him in the eye, took her purse, and got out of the house.

- Stefanie...I...- Elijah said after she got out.

- No Elijah. You just slept with another woman, while you were still in a relationship with me, you thought all the time that she was me, and if it weren't for Klaus, I would have been embarrassed in front of all the town of Mystic Falls!- I said with an angry tone.

- I did something really stupid, and I'm so sorry that I didn't recognize before that she wasn't you. I'm truly so sorry! Please! Is there any chance that you can forgive me? Please Stefanie I'm beging you...- he said, with his hands above mine.

- Elijah! I...I understand. But I need to think, and process everything that just happend. I need to go home now...- I said, geting up from the couch.

- Okay, yeah, I will take you to the boarding house...- Elijah said, geting up from the couch too.

- No, that's not necessary. Klaus can take me home, right?- I said.

- Yeah, sure, come on.- Klaus said.

I went with Klaus, while Elijah just stood there, with tears ready to fall out of his eyes.

***

We arrived at my house. I was ready to get out of the car, but Klaus said:

- Hey, Stefanie. Elijah...he...I'm sure I can't excuse his actions, but, believe me, Evelyn is a really good actress. She can fool everyone. And when I say, everyone, even us, The Originals. But you have to forgive him. I'm sure he will never forgive himself about this but... we all do mistakes sometimes. And if you truly love him...you will forgive him for this. Because, after all, it wasn't really his fault. It hers. And right now, we all need to be together, to defeat her. But first we have to know what she really wants.- Klaus said.

- I...I will take that under consideration. Thanks Klaus. For not abandoning me today. I really appreciate that. I have to go. Bye!- I said and opened the door.

- Stefanie, we have to talk!- my mother said when I got in the house.

- Not now mom. I really need some time alone. - I said, not looking at my parents but continuing to get upstairs.

She didn't say anything. Thank God. I really didn't have the nerves to argue with my mom right now.

I got in my room. I laid in the bed. And I began to think.

Evelyn really was a bitch. She fooled everyone. Klaus said so. And I believe him. I mean...I know Elijah. I know that he would never, ever cheat on me. I loved him God damn it! And I needed to fight for him. And Klaus was right. Right now we needed to be together, to learn what Evelyn really wants and defeat her. So yeah, as stupid as I am, I forgive him. It all was Evelyn's fault. And I was really angry at her!

I needed a friend. Someone that I can talk to. Thea.

Niklaus's POV

- Do you think that she will forgive me? She will right?- Elijah said.

- Oh, brother calm down. Yeah, she will forgive you. It wasn't really your fault after all...- I said, pouring myself and Elijah a glass of bourbon.

I never have seen Elijah more sad. Well, I have seen him more sad. One time. When his memories about Hayley came back. And when he learned that it was his fault that she died. But I don't blame him. He wasn't himself that day. I still miss Hayley...

Suddenly a message came into my phone. It was an unknown number. It wrote: Meet me in the old cemetery, tonight at 11. Come alone. Don't tell anyone. Or else, Hope will die.
