It was morning and Damon was at the police station where Alaric was being retained in a jail cell because he was he suspect of all the murders happening. Damon had been ordered to stay out of it by Liz and he was leaving when he saw Elena enter.

She sighed in aggravation when she saw him. She didn't want to see him because he had turned Bonnie's mom into a vampire to save her. She didn't want to be saved if Bonnie had to pay the price. On top of it, he didn't even need to turn Bonnie's mom because Esther was channeling from Eira.

"Were you just with....," Elena got cut off.

"Ric's fine. Jenna's with him. Sheriff wants me to stay out of it," Damon explained.

"But you're not going to. Are you?" Elena questioned.

"Seems just as good a plan as any," Damon answered.

"Your friend's in jail for murder. You have to do something," Elena stated.

"Well, I guess I could rip out Dr. False Accusation's throat. Maybe her tongue. You know, I could chew it up into little tiny pieces and feed it to the squirrels," Damon said and mimics chewing like a squirrel.

"Stop it, Damon!" Elena demanded.

"Guess me staying out of it suddenly sounds like a good idea, doesn't it? I saved your life last night. You're welcome," Damon responded.

"You know, you could show a little compassion about Bonnie," Elena suggested.

"I could, but then her mom isn't the only one who got hurt, is she?" Damon questioned, referring to Eira.

"I wanted Klaus dead. I'm not going to apologize for that," Elena defended herself.

Damon gritted his teeth,"Did you even consider the possibility that Eira would get hurt because of your actions? Or even consider how anyone would feel about it?"

"No," Elena breathed out.

"I used my sister because I love you. I defended you last night because I love you. And you say 'no'. Stefan was angry and he wanted to hurt you. Next time you get my sister involved, I won't stop him from coming after you," Damon said, angrily and he left her standing there shocked at his outburst.

_________________

Eira was at home in her room. She had tried calling Klaus many times but he didn't answer and it made her worried. She hated not hearing his voice after some time had passed.

Damon and Stefan had left, supposedly Damon wanted to figure out who was killing people of the town and he wanted Stefan's help. He also was going to try to teach Stefan to control his blood thirst.

Eira had went downstairs when she felt the wind blow past her and someone appeared in front of her. It was Rebekah.

"I need your help," Rebekah said.

"What do you need help with?" Eira asked.

"The Salvatore's were in charge of the milling records in the 1900's. I need to find out about a certain tree," Rebekah started. "The white oak."

Eira's eyes widened at that fact, meaning there was something out there that could kill Klaus.

"Don't tell anyone," Rebekah demanded.

"I wouldn't," Eira said. "I'll find the record of it and I'll tell you."

Rebekah nodded and Eira asked,"Where's Klaus?"

"Working on trying to find Finn," Rebekah said. "He wants us to be unlinked."

Eira nodded and she said,"I'll find it."

Rebekah then left as Eira went to room with the library shelves. She looked for the milling records in the 1900's. She found the ledgers and she started with the year 1900.

________________

Eira had been reading through milling ledgers all day. She got to the year 1908 and she still hadn't found anything about white oak. Eira turned around and closed the book. Her eyes lifted up from the book and she jumped, startled by someone being in front of her.

Eira calmed down though once she saw who it was and she smiled. It was Klaus. He took the book from her hands and he put it on the table next to her.

"I've been calling you, but you didn't answer," Eira stated.

"I'm sorry," Klaus said emotionlessly.

Eira frowned and she asked,"What's wrong? I'm going to find where the white oak is and you're going to be fine. You don't have to worry."

"That's not the problem, Eira," Klaus responded.

"Then, what's the problem?" Eira asked.

"I've been thinking," Klaus started.

"Thinking about what?" Eira got a feeling of dread.

"I was delusional to think that you wouldn't be hurt because of me. That there wouldn't be consequences because you're with me," Klaus continued.

"But I'm fine, now. You got to me in time and you saved me," Eira said.

"And what if I hadn't?" Klaus asked. "You would've died. Do you have any idea what would happen to me if you died?"

"You would live," Eira answered, not able to think of anything else.

Klaus chuckled, sadly,"And I would be miserable without you."

"Where are you going with this?" Eira asked, not understanding.

"I don't want you to be hurt because of me," Klaus started. "I don't know what I would do with myself if you were hurt or if you died."

"I can't be with you anymore," Klaus had a tear run down his cheek.

"What? Klaus, no," Eira shook her head and she took a step towards him but he took a step back.

Eira stopped and her voice was near collapse,"Don't leave me."

"I'm sorry," another tear ran down his cheek and then he vanished from her sight, using vampire speed.

Eira just looked at the place he was standing in and she felt numb, like what just happened wasn't real. Tears started flowing down her face and she didn't notice.

The reality of never being with Klaus set in and it hurt. She felt like she'd been kicked in the chest. Her stomach was in knots. Eira clutched her heart. Her legs gave out on her and she crumbled to the ground.

She started to sob and and the tears flowed down her cheeks in never ending waves. She felt like a gaping hole had been placed in her chest. A painful, empty hole. One that lingered, simmered, taking all joy away. She didn't know how to deal with it and she cried even harder.

And as she cried, outside it rained.

________________

Eira still sat on the ground in the same spot just staring at where he stood. Tears stopped flowing down her cheeks and she didn't sob anymore. She was numb to any feeling but the feeling of missing him.

Stefan came home and he didn't hear a sound. He grew concerned and he listened for Eira's heartbeat. He found it and he followed it to the library room. He found her sitting on the floor with her knees pressed to her chest and she was staring off into space.

Stefan quickly hurried over to her and he crouched down in front of her. Her eyes didn't even move, they stayed locked in place, not even registering that he was there.

He called her name but he still didn't get her attention. Stefan put his hands on the side of her face and he called her name. His hands coming into contact with her, seemed to wake her out of her reverie.

Her eyes slowly moved to look at Stefan and he asked,"Eira, what happened?"

"He left," Eira mumbled out but he was still able to pick it up with his vampire hearing.

"What do you mean 'he left'?" Stefan questioned.

Eira started crying again,"He left me."

Eira clutched at her chest again and she sobbed,"It hurts so much. Why does it hurt so much?"

Stefan quickly pulled her to him and he hugged her to him to comfort her. Eira cried into his chest and she sobbed again,"Just make it stop. It hurts. Make it stop!"

"I'm so sorry," Stefan said, not even knowing what he was apologizing for. "I wish that I could."

Stefan just held her as she cried and she eventually fell asleep as she sobbed. Stefan's heart broke, seeing his sister in pain. Emotional pain that he couldn't fix. He eventually put together that she meant Klaus left as in he left her. Stefan never wanted him dead more than he did in that moment.

Stefan picked Eira up off the ground, slowly so he didn't wake her. He carried her to her room and he laid her down on her bed. He tucked her in and then he pulled a chair next to her bed and he sat there, making sure she didn't wake up in the middle of the night crying.

Stefan heard Damon come home and he looked at Eira who was peacefully sleeping. He got up and left her room. He went downstairs to tell Damon.

Stefan had a look of pain on his face as he walked to Damon and Damon immediately asked, "What happened?"

"Klaus ended things between them. I found her on the floor crying," Stefan explained. "She's heartbroken and what's worse is that she doesn't even know that's what she's feeling."

"Will she be okay?" Damon asked.

"I hope so," Stefan answered.

Author's Note: I cried writing this chapter. But okay some of you had I guess concerns the last chapter so I'll clarify them:

Eira will have 'the talk' but it won't be for awhile.

And if you guys wait, I promise you that Elena will pay.
