Elena Gilbert is responsible for killing Elijah.
The Circumstances of Elijah's Demise
Elijah's death occurred during a tense encounter, part of a larger conflict among supernatural beings. Despite a fragile agreement being made, Elena saw an opportunity to neutralize the powerful Original vampire.
Here's how the events unfolded:
- The Setup: Elijah, seemingly engaged in a deal, offered to heal Elena, prompting him to approach her.
- The Act: As Elijah drew near, Elena seized the moment. She used a special dagger to stab him, leading to his immediate death. This strategic move was a critical turning point in the ongoing power struggles.
- The Aftermath:
- Following the stabbing, Stefan quickly intervened, giving Elena his blood to ensure her recovery, implying the dagger or the confrontation itself was dangerous for her.
- Damon, also present, emphasized the crucial instruction not to remove the dagger from Elijah's body. For an Original vampire, keeping the dagger in place is essential to prevent their resurrection.
This decisive action by Elena temporarily removed a significant threat and shifted the dynamics among the characters involved.
