On the run

Part 1

Elijah: Elena, we need you to take Hope and go on the run. You need to hide. Don't tell anyone where you are, not even me. Get Bonnie to hide both you and Hope's locations. The moment Bonnie finish the spell, run. And don't look back. When this is all over, I'll call you. If something goes wrong, call me...

Elena: Ok. I love you.

She said with tears in her eyes.

Elijah: I love you too. Always and forever.

Elena: Always and forever.

Elena remembers the day she took Hope and ran like it was yesterday. Everything from Hayley being kidnapped to saving Hope from the witches. She would often tell it to Hope, in the shape of a fairy tale at night. The moment Elena pulled off, she went straight to Bonnie and got her to do protection spells and spells to block their location. Her next stop was the store; she stocked up on baby food, food, and clothes for them both, she also got Hope toys. After that she got as much blood bags she could get without going overboard. She went to a small town faraway. These past months since she left, she lived in a isolated house, just her and Hope. She loved and hated this running and hiding. She loved that it made her feel somewhat normal. She loved keeping Hope safe. She hated that, Hope couldn't be with the rest of her family. She hated that there's people out there to get this sweet little baby. Hope didn't do anything wrong.

On week 2, Elena got sick. She was throwing up every morning and she didn't know why. By the third week, she remembered she's a vampire and vampires don't get sick..She wanted to go get a pregnancy test but she didn't want to risk being seen. She was so scared for Hope's life, she didn't want to step near a window, at the start. She decided to wait to see if she would start showing to be sure, before she could think about how She got pregnant when she and Elijah are vampires. She was pretty sure she was somehow pregnant when she noticed all her constant mood swings, and her increase in blood and human food intake. But she was even more sure when her stomach had a little bulge. She often thought back to the night before she ran.

They had just got back from their night out when, Elijah stopped them at the front door to the compound.

Elena: Why did you stop?

Elijah smiles at her. They had been together for a year now. He said as much in his speech right before he got down on one knee. He pulled out a small red box. In it was a ruby ring with a gold band. Elena gasp, bringing her hands to cover her mouth.

Elijah: Elena Gilbert. Will you merry me?

Elena: Yes!

She nodded eagerly, while wiping her tears away.

She remembers telling him the night she left, someone better start planning their wedding the second she gets back after this was all over. She meant it then and now. She gave Hope, a little push on the baby swing. It was now month 9, the baby could be born at any moment. She had no trouble. She didn't have to run off, although she does plan on moving to a different small town just to be on the safe side. She looked over to her right and saw a starling watching her. She remembers the signs of Esther, the originals gave her as clear as day. But it was only one. She shouldn't worry herself, right? She didn't freak out when a second or third bird showed up. But when more started coming, she panicked. She stopped the swing and picked Hope up, pulling the baby bag on her shoulder, she dials, Elijah.

At the compound...

Klaus: Has the earth shifted on its axis? You needing restraint from me?
