Part Ten: Haunted By The Look In My Eyes

                                    

                                          
"Rise and shine, witch" Klaus walked into Elena's room and saw her bed empty. He frowned but his frown got fixed when she walked in with clothes fit her body like they were specifically made for her. "You are already awake, great"
"There are tons of clothes clearly not mine, not like I am complaining, thank you" Klaus just shrugged and took a look at her outfit. It was, dark? Yes he could say that, dark jeans, black high heels and navy blue fitting blouse. 
"But really, screaming colors are not really my type" Elena said and shrugged, still smiling. Klaus could see her point, he was not an expert at dressing a teenager or an early adult or whatever. "Breakfast is ready for you, then we will see one of my witch friends. We are leaving the country by tonight"
Elena raised her eyebrows and nodded. She was not so into staying in Netherlands anyways. She was missing her home, only as in building not the people. Elena followed Klaus to out of the room and they stopped in front of a huge room Klaus would like to call dining room. It was a bit much, truly unnecessarily huge room was only making Elena uncomfortable. "Pretty big room for someone who has no one to dine with"
"Good thing I have you now. Be as quick as you can, we need a plan"
"I thought you already had one" Elena said took a sip from her tea. Klaus sat down next to her and started to sip his blood bag. "I had, but we have to include you too now"
"I thought you already had a plan that includes me, I am offended" Klaus narrowed his eyes as she chuckled and and started to eat her pancakes. She was beautiful, Klaus was only thinking about how beautiful she was as she was eating her pancakes with a great appetite. 
"I wonder what do you think about me. About all these me betraying my sister and helping you" 
"Well, your sister betrayed you first, you are plotting against her. My brother betrayed me first, I am plotting against him" Elena nodded, it was a good point. She looked at her pancakes hopelessly before pushing them away. Klaus frowned and looked at her sudden lose of of appetite. 
"What's wrong?"
"I feel like I need to tell you something but I am not sure why I have to, like it is not even important but I have to tell you" Klaus frowned again but gestured her to continue. Elena was not able to understand why she was so nervous, she was biting her lips like she did something bad. "I kissed with your brother"
"That didn't surprise me, I have guessed that already"
"Pardon me?"
"My brother has a thing for the doppelgängers. Tatia, Katerina, and now you apparently. Let's hope your sister is not the next" Elena's eyes widened, she felt sick. This was sick, he was just into her because of her face. Her face could not control itself as she felt disgusted. "That is the face many of us had made when we realized his obsession towards your face"
"Your brother is so sick for that" Elena looked at her plate hopelessly. He frowned as she sighed, she looked unhappy with the flash news about Elijah's obsession towards the doppelgängers. He grabbed her hand gently and looked right into her eyes assuringly. "You did nothing wrong. You know it, don't you?"
"I know that I did the right thing with finding you"  It had a sentimental value when Elena said a few words under her breath, her voice was giving her out. He could just smile slightly as he was looking straight to the table like he had just sent straight to the hell. 
"Finish your breakfast and meet me in the car" Klaus was not good with sentimental stuff, he was better at running anyways. He walked out of the huge dining room as Elena huffed and looked at her plate, she was not hungry anymore. 
She left the plate there and followed him to the car, after three days in the same room, because apparently she was not really allowed to leave her room, without going out was stressing and she was finally out. She opened the passenger seat's door and got in, he raised his eyebrows as he tried to understand why she was there so early. "What happened to your breakfast?"
"I am not hungry" She rested her head on the window and smiled a bit. However he was not smiling, he looked worried about her. Elena was thin, most of the girls were thin and it was nothing new but Elena was not eating well he could say. Since the day she had arrived, she was not eating a lot. Actually she was only eating to stay alive, not to get feed. 
"You should eat more, it is not healthy eating that little"
"And you are suddenly a doctor?"
"We both know it's not healthy, don't we? Maybe you should see a doctor before leaving the country. You know, the health care is free in here" Elena sighed and shook her head. Not like she had an eating disorder, she was just stressed. She was planning on killing her twin sister, of course she was stressed. "I'm fine, last few days has been tiring that's all"
Without saying anything else, Klaus started the car and they drove away. She watched outside like a five year old kid, full of excitement and smiling all the time. Klaus liked seeing her like that, full of enjoyment and happiness. 
He could tell, a lot of people let her down. He was not sure what was her true story but if she had someone next to her who can help and protect her, she would not be allying her must have been the greatest enemy. As he turned the corner he promised himself that for the first time he was not going to let someone down.
