Summary
In his way too long life Elijah hadn't been scared of much but he is terrified of the demon awakened by his mother's torture. The Red Door, tormenting him, is on the verge of breaking and he is afraid he will break – completely, finally – along with it. In the aftermath of the revelations and their consequences, Elijah receives help from an unexpected visitor.

"Hello Elijah!", she said, her voice, husky as usual, and all too familiar in it's thrice removed intonation. She sounded exasperated, disappointed, tired but – and he could be wrong and wanted not to be – also deeply saddened.
Panting, blinking, he looked up, letting his upset eyes adjust to the form that was sitting – with the sun in her back – on his desk, making the glow about her silhouette painful to look at.
Elijah tried to rationalize the possibility of her being here but only came up with a wisp hope that she too, like most of what he was seeing these days, was just an apparition of his jumbled mind. Her seeing him like this? No. No! -

Summary
Usually, darkness is a good place to hide things you wish to not see. So, when Elena finds him on her couch, passed out, drunk she doesn't question it or worry more than she normally would. After all: nothing new there. Tonight is different though. Tonight darkness is sick of her secrets. Of their secrets.

"Quickly she removes her shoes and walks over quietly to where she knows he must be. Her path through the well-known darkness – where her footprints from last week's journey are still lingering – leads her to him, slumped in an unconscious heap on the couch. She looks at him, her eyes and her mind already adjusted to the lack of light by now, and she feels something inside of her break, leak, drop – wondering deep down how long it will take until her heart is completely drained."
