Elijah POV
                          
After the dance Damon asked me to take Elena home to keep her safe. Stefan, Damon and everyone else was going to go after Alaric. They will be at the cemetery and will call us if they find anything Caroline would come over soon. We get out of the car in front of the Salvatore House and we can hear music blaring fro the house. Elena looks at me and we walk towards the house. Elena opens the door and the music is deafening. We walk into the living room and we see Rydell leaning on the bar a bottle of vodka in her hand. She takes a drink from the bottle and looks down at the bar. She seems shaking. Elena walks up to her.
                          
"Rydell? Are you ok?" Elena puts a hand on her shoulder and Rydell turns to look at her.
                          
Elena gasps and looks at me I am standing in the doorway of the living-room. I don't want to walk in the room in case Rydell is still hot from earlier, But I can see Rydell from here. Her face is pale, she has sweat beading off of her, she can't seem to look straight, and she is really wobbly. 
                          
"Ryland?" Elena says 
                          
Just then Rydell falls to the ground.
                          
"Elijah!" Elena yells for me. I hurry to Rydell and we look at her. Her eyes are barely open and her lips are blue.
                          
"Elijah what's wrong with her?" Elena asks visibly scared.
                          
"I don't know." 
                          
I put my head to her chest and barely hear breathing. I open her eyes and see that they are dilated. I look her over and see a purple substance on her hand and around her nose. 
                          
"Elena see if you can find anything purple that she may have taken." I say in a rushed voice. Elena nods and rushes to look around. I feel her forehead and she is burning up. I pick her up and run upstairs to the bathroom. I put her in the tub and turn the cold water on and let it run over her. Elena comes running upstairs and hands be a small baggie with purple powder in it.
                          
"Could this be it?"
                          
I look the bag over and close my eyes and nod. 
                          
"Yes. This is it."
                          
"What is it?"
                          
I walk over to the sink and look under it. I need something to pump her stomach. 
                          
"Its Witches Mead."
                          
"What is that?"
                          
"Its a drug made by witches to get vampires and other supernatural beings with a high tolerance high."
                          
I find a tube and pull it out of the wall. I take the tub and put it down Rydell's throat. I blow in it and wait and she ends up throwing everything up. I know this works for pills. I hope this works for other things.
                          
"Isn't she an addict or something? Damon said she was clean."
                          
"She was."
                          
After we pump her stomach and put her under the cold water that seemed to help some. Her breathing was getting better. We grab some towels and dry her off. I have Elena try and change her into something dry while I waited out side the door. Yes we were married before but she isn't to keen on seeing me right now so I don't think me seeing her naked will help the situation. After Elena changes her I put her in bed. Elena and I sit and wait for her to wake up or for Damon and Stefan to get home. A few hours later we get a call from Damon saying that Ester turned Alaric and he is a vampire. Elena is crushed and is crying I try to comfort her. I tell Damon and Stefan to hurry home that we have another problem.
