KLASMA: She was crying

Returning to Mystic Falls was harder than she expected. She did not want to return to that cursed town and did not want to face Elijah, yet somehow, deep down, she was eager to see him again.  Did the witch hate Elijah? No, deep down, there was no hate in her heart. What existed, however, was anger and disappointment for the way he treated her. What existed, however, was the pain she felt for being seen as nothing more than a tool by the Original. What existed was the affection she developed for him over the years. An affection he nurtured by his presence in her life, little pockets of fresh air she could breathe while living a very difficult and isolating life among humans. Elijah had been a friend, whether he wanted to admit it or not, whether she wanted to recognize it or not. He had been a friend, and they had shared moments, albeit very fleeting and very surface-level, but still... moments that etched themselves in their memories. 

The witch did not hate Elijah, but she wanted to teach him a lesson. She wanted him to see what treating her the way he did truly entailed for him. Today, he had lost her to Klaus. The hybrid gained her trust; he gained her feelings ( although that was a part he was not aware of, nor was she), and He gained her powers. She no longer felt indebted to Elijah, as Klaus cleverly noted she had already repaid him plenty. She ensured the safety of his family and saved them from countless curses and ploys from her sisters.  Today, she devoted herself to Klaus and, by extension, to the family, as Klaus was family-oriented. She was no longer doing anyone's bidding but was choosing to help. That was a major difference with Elijah. Klaus never forced her to do anything. She chose it herself. She joined him of her own volition and was determined to protect him... For Love.  That was something she wanted to show Elijah. 

Still, she could not help but feel her stomach twist inside. Fear was strangling her, something she was not used to. What could she possibly be afraid of? Did she worry about Elijah convincing Klaus to ditch her? Perhaps the one she once thought a friend would not take a liking to her. Perhaps he would even advise his brother to leave her behind because she would only bring them trouble? The reality of her curse hit her once more, and she squeezed the hem of her shirt to try and soothe herself. Would Klaus listen to Elijah if that were the case? Would he leave her behind?? She chewed on her bottom lip and noticed the wetness on her hands.  Crying... She was crying. Her hand gently wiped the tears off her face, and she bit her forefinger. Crying... She was crying... And she could not seem to be able to stop.
