Just later today, Alice visited Gilbert's house.

"Bonnie is not dead." She blinked. "This is her and Damon's plan. Only by making Klaus think she is dead can he relax his vigilance."

She shrugged. "Though I don't know how the two of them could get along."

Elena didn't feel relieved because of Alice's words.I have to say that Alice is a bit confused, as she can see from the fact that she didn't even suspect Elijah's disappearance.

After Alice leaves, Elena and Jeremy have a conversation.

Discussing this was painful for Jeremy, but Elena was patient enough.Until the end, Jeremy said hesitantly, "You and Bonnie... between the two of you, there is a possibility... only one can live."

"This is Damon's plan again?" Elena was a little annoyed, she didn't need others to sacrifice for her, she would weigh all the values ​​herself.

"Leave them alone," Elena said. "Bonnie will be fine...I have other options."

Elena did think of a way.It's a little risky, but worth a try.

If this method is to be implemented, first of all, she has to confess a fact to Alice.

"What did you say? You—" Alice took a breath and roared angrily: "You——killed Elijah!"

Fortunately, Elena had the foresight and asked Alice to meet in the woods where no one traveled.

"I'm sorry..." Elena almost couldn't lift her head guiltily.

"I trust you so much! Treat you as my best friends!"

Alice asked loudly.

"But what did you pay me back?! Killing someone I love - he's even promised to protect us all! Listen Elena, even with all the danger Stefan and Damon put us in, I didn't think Don't hurt them because that's the one you love!"

She covered her face and knelt down feebly.

"But how did you do it? I'm so disappointed... Elena."

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry." Elena didn't want to explain that the "protection" promised by Elijah did not include herself. At that time, killing Elijah for her life was an inevitable choice.But in any case, the matter was that she was sorry for Alice, utterly sorry.

"I did something wrong out of fear, and now I ask for your forgiveness." She knelt down and said softly.

"Forgive...? How can I forgive!" She laughed desolately.

"Please help me to resurrect Elijah."

Alice froze.

"What did you say?"

Elena explained to Alice in detail the principle of the death and resurrection of the ancestor of vampires.Since they are essentially immortal, the so-called "killing" is nothing more than sealing him with a dagger stained with white oak ash. Once the dagger is pulled out, the original vampire is resurrected.

After listening to this explanation, Alice came back to life full of vitality.Just like Elena knew her, she has always been a guy who healed the scars and forgot the pain.

"Hi Elena," Alice gave her a hug: "I shouldn't compare you with that bastard Damon, at least you were the first to tell me among the bunch of people who lied to me."

Alice, who had regained her sanity, thought of other questions: "But does Caroline know about this?"

Looking at Elena's face, she felt a bad premonition rising in her heart.

"... Does Bonnie know? And Alaric?"

Elena didn't answer her question, just kept her head down and said nothing.

"Are they all involved?" Alice said palely, "Everyone is deceiving... me?"

Elena looks like she's acquiescing.

"No," Alice shook her head suddenly, "You know that the more vicious Klaus will come, so why are you determined to kill Elijah—not to mention that he is my boyfriend."

"Why?" She lifted Elena's face for truth, only to see that her eyelids were already brimming with tears.

"Because I'm going to die," Elena sobbed.

"The lifting ceremony of the sun and moon curse needs to drain all the blood from my body..."

"I don't want to die, Alice!"

Elena raised her head, and tears flowed down her cheeks, as if the fear and pain hidden in her heart were pouring out at this moment.

"Elena." Alice helped her up vigorously, and looked into her eyes seriously: "We are friends, best friends."

Picking a time when Damon and Stefan aren't home takes clever planning.Of course, Elena settled the matter smoothly.

Alice went down to the basement alone to solve—oh no, to save Elijah.She turned down Elena's companions and told her to wait in the living room.

The "corpse" was bluish-gray, like a dead vampire, without a sound.Alice felt something gripped her heart—she didn't even dare to touch the dagger, fearing whether he could really be resurrected as expected.

Her palms were full of sweat.Finally, holding the handle of the knife with both hands, he slowly pulled it out.

The dagger was still in her hand, and her eyes were fixed on Elijah, lest she miss his every subtle movement.And just like that, half a minute, maybe half a century.

Like a drowning person waking up suddenly, Elijah woke up with a choking breath, only had time to see Alice's face full of expectation and sadness, and felt that the room was rejecting him—he hadn't been invited to enter yet!

Alice only saw Elijah disappear in an instant after being resurrected.She ran upstairs as fast as she could, and saw Elena standing at the door confronting Elijah.

"Come in." Elena plucked up the courage to invite.

Elijah hadn't had time to act yet—no one could guess what he would do after being betrayed.But whatever he was going to do couldn't be done because someone interrupted him.

"Elijah!" The little witch crashed into his arms like a throwing machine, "Elijah."

Alice repeated his name repeatedly, whimpering, and refused to let go.

But the ancestor of the vampire didn't appreciate it at this time.After he pulled Alice down, he ran away in a hurry as if facing a scourge.

Alice was dumbfounded, with tears still hanging on her eyelashes, not knowing why she was treated like this.

Until Elena let out a dry cough and said unnaturally: "Maybe... he wants to clean himself up first?"

This is true.Elijah, as a "corpse," had been dusting in the basement of the Salvatore home for a whole month.

Alice and Elena were sitting on a bench in the small park with a cup of hot coffee each.The weather in early autumn was a bit cold, and Alice kept stomping her feet, trying to give herself some heat.In fact, she just expressed her anxiety more clearly.

Finally, the source of her anxiety appeared a few steps away.

"I beg your forgiveness." Elena walked towards him, turning the hilt of the white oak dagger in her hand to face him, trying to convey her sincerity: "I hope our agreement still counts."

"I doubt whether you can still be trusted." Elijah took the dagger and replied blankly.

Alice called weakly: "Elijah..."

However, he ignored Alice's expectant expression, and didn't even give him a straight look.

Just as the awkward scene was going on, Elena's cell phone rang suddenly.She answered the phone under Elijah's gaze.

"Elena, where are you? We came back and found that both you and Elijah were missing..." Stefan's anxious voice came.

"I'm with Elijah," Elena interrupted Stefan, ignoring his consternation. "I thought I needed to restore my alliance with Elijah, so I did."

Stefan couldn't believe her audacity: "You pulled out the dagger!"

"That's right." Elena said, she felt the strength in her heart.She must win the trust of Elijah again, not for Alice, but for the more powerful enemy Klaus.

Elena calmly handed the phone to Elijah.

The ancestor of the vampire did not refuse.He answered the phone and called out the other party's name in a low voice: "Stefan Salvatore, you understand correctly, I'm back."

"And, those who betray me will have to pay the price." He hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Elena couldn't ignore the sudden cruelty between his final teeth.

She weighed it up and said, "We met Klaus the other day..."

"Elena," Elijah said with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Of course I can help you deal with Klaus, but what can you pay me?"

"You promised!" Alice couldn't bear the scene of Elena being oppressed, so she jumped up and said, "You promised Elena."

Elijah responded coldly: "Yes, once. When they calculated me and succeeded, the deal was invalid."

"They knew they were wrong." Alice refuted loudly urgently, and the scene of Elijah slaughtering vampires in Phoenix couldn't help flashing in her mind.At that time, he was so indifferent, as if what he harvested were only apples on the branches.

"Elena took the initiative to tell me to release you. You can't judge them like this!"

Elijah was originally indifferent to her uninspiring words, but the exclamation that followed successfully attracted his attention.

Because of being too excited, Alice knocked over the coffee that she was holding in her hand to warm up, and the hot brown juice spilled on her leg.

Her expression looked miserable, as if she was annoyed that she had messed up.

"What are you doing...Alice!" Elena hurriedly took out a tissue from her bag to help her wipe it off. Elijah saw this action, and his expression seemed to soften a little.

He took the rest of the whole package of tissues from Elena, squatted down to soak the wet coffee on Alice's pants, "You really have many disasters."

Unexpectedly, this sentence touched Alice's pain, and she yelled: "Are you laughing at me! You think I'm stupid too, and you can't figure out anything! They deceived you and betrayed you. Are you telling the truth?" Do you know that Elena will not be able to live if she goes to that priest—and you still hide it, what a fake deal!"

She was sobbing sadly, as if she was about to die: "You all lied to me for a fool! Damon and Stefan are bastards, and so are you! Vampires don't have a good thing!"

Alice pushed Elijah angrily, but he just tilted his head, but did not move.She had no choice but to retreat and sit on the hard park bench, deliberately not to look at Elijah, and muttered in her mouth: "Go, kill Stefan and Damon, and your brother Klaus, anyway, it’s a conflict within your vampire race, no matter who takes care of who, get out of the nest as soon as possible!”

At this time, Elijah regretted his previous indifference to Alice.He had even been a little angry with Alice before—which now seemed hopelessly stupid.Her fear and grief were so palpable, and he was the source of it all.

"I'm sorry," he sighed, pressing his forehead against hers. "Yes Alice, I'm a jerk."

The author has something to say: Everyone thinks the heroine is a fool, but she is not.

She's just been alone for too long and longs for playmates and care.
