Elena
"Klaus! What is going on?! What is that?!" I screamed. The freezing wind is crushing the life in my throat, my skin shivering as splashes of sea water landed on me.
Klaus wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me closer. He looked at the huge submarine with a dangerous smile. "This is the tsunami, love. Say your last words of the sight of land and sunlight because it will be the last time you'll ever see them or the feeling of them."
I looked at Klaus with wide eyes. I could feel my heart beating loud and hard by the sound of those words. "No. No Klaus this is wrong. This is wrong. Please let's turn back. Please I beg of you, let's turn back..."
Klaus looked down at my tearful face. With his free hand he wiped the drops of tears away with his finger tips. "Oh my darling Katherine, why would you want to turn back? You should be thrilled to finally be with me safely and hidden under the sea."
"Stop calling me that! I am not Katherine! And this isn't what I want at all! Please let me go. You must let me go, Klaus..."
The smile returned to his lips. "Ah my darling, just you wait I promise you'll be happy here."
It's no use. I'm trapped.
~ When the ship entered inside the mouth of the ship, the leftover sea water started to slush away in open areas on the walls. Everyone is wet and half the part of the ship is decorated with tangled seaweed and kelp. Klaus's men started to jump out of the boat. Klaus took my hand but he looked down at my dress. I frowned and followed his eyes. I gasped. Since the damp dress is white and somehow see through, my undergarments and bra are exposable. I covered my chest with my hands.
"Don't look."
Klaus just chuckled. "Why not? It's not like I never seen everything before."
I gave him the "don't-look-jerk-or-I-will-end-you" look. "Yeah, but that everything you're referring to was never mine. And I like to keep it that way."
He still smiled at me but removed his dress shirt and wrapped it around my shoulders. I quickly put the shirt on and buttoned it half way. I'm relieved that the shirt reaches a quarter of my thighs. I'm already locked up in a huge submarine with a bunch of criminals, I don't want things to get worse by flashing in front of them. Klaus first jumped out of the ship and then help me out.
"I'm glad you had a safe trip." A voice echoed. We all followed the voice. It's a man standing in a distance next to the doorway.
Klaus smiled. "Brother." He ran to the man and the two gave each other a warm embrace.
So that's Elijah. But what is he doing here? Are all Klaus' siblings involved in this? Is Klaus that friendless?...It will take a while for the FBI to search under the sea. I need to find any way to contact the police or possibly Damon. Just one phone call could save my life.
Two of Klaus' men grabbed me by both arms and led me where the two brothers stood. The rest of the men gathered from behind, crowding around us.
Klaus gave a nod to the two guys who were grabbing hold of me. They dragged me closer to Klaus and released me. Klaus took my hand and pulled me close to him.
Elijah looked at me with disapproving eyes. "So you decided to bring her along. Why?"
"She's Katherine remember, brother? I can't bear the thought of leaving my girl with those Salvatores."
"Klaus you do realize the Salvatores are our future in-laws. You should show some respect for Rebekah's sake."
I could feel his hands crawling back on my waist. "I don't care about our sister anymore. If she chooses to replace her name as a Salvatore, then so be it. I don't give a damn of the decisions she makes."
"Klaus –"
Klaus lifted his hand to silence him. "Enough of this conversation. We have a guest here, after all. How is everything going?"
Elijah sighed. "Everything is operating well as we planned. I just wish you could have given me more time."
"Forgive me brother. I didn't exactly plan it so soon either. But it had to be done, the police were so close to spotting my location."
Elijah looked at me. He smirked the same exact way as Klaus. The sight of it makes me shiver. Klaus looked down at me, he pulled me even closer.
"Are you cold, love?"
I didn't answer but responded with a shaky nod.
"Brother, perhaps you can escort Katherine to her room so she could change out of that damp dress."
Elijah reached for my hand. "It will be my pleasure." When Klaus turned around toward his men, Elijah spun me around to his side. "I am pleased to finally meet you."
I lowered my eyes down at the floor. It's too painful to look at any of this...Its too much to handle all at once. Elijah lightly grabbed one of my arms and wrapped his other free arm around my shoulders. Although I am tempted to push him away, the warmth of his clothes feels a little cozy.
When we got inside we just crossed a bridge with no windows or any sign of anything other than the pure metal walls. We came to a stop to an automatic door, but it did not open. Elijah placed one of his hands and pressed it against the door. The door scanned the print with a few sudden flashes and the door slid open.
"Can't afford to have any possible intruders." He muttered.
'Yeah like some idiot is going to swim deep under water and risk getting killed by getting through these thick metal walls with no open entrance.' I thought.
Again the room is the same as before, nothing but metal walls except a lot of doors. I need to find away to get to know the process around the ship so I could know exactly what everything is and what time such specific events happen.
"So all entrances require a handprint from you and Klaus?"
Elijah nodded. "Yes, and building all this cost every penny."
"How does your men get through? It's not like you and Klaus stay by their sides in all times."
"No they have a way. Klaus and I didn't pay 4.1 million dollars on this submarine for nothing. Everything is in perfect progress and control. If there is a mistake Klaus would have blown this baby up before you and his men ever arrived here."
He stopped me by one of the doors. "Here we are."
"Does this door require your handprint too?"
Elijah shook his head. "No. But yours."
I raised an eyebrow. "Yeah right."
He gestured his hand to the door. "No for real. Try it for yourself and see if I'm lying."
I paused for a moment. I slowly placed an open hand on the wall. The temperature of the door turn to cold to room temperature as it scanned my handprint. I almost screamed and embarrassed myself right on that spot in front of him. Good thing I bit my tongue on time. Then the door automatically slid open. I went inside and Elijah followed me from behind.
The room is not so big but not too small either. All there are is just a bed covered in a thick purple quilt along with ruffle pillows to match and placed on the center, and a lamp hung on the ceiling.
"I hope you like purple?"
I looked around and just faced Elijah. "I prefer white and blue. But this is better than the cage your brother locked me in when he kidnapped me."
Elijah smiled. "Well you know him, Elena. He was always a rebel from the start, he can't help it."
"No he is a poor man who needs to be taken to a mental institution where he could receive plenty of prescription drugs and numbers of professional psychiatrist to help flip his tiny brain around! You are his brother who known Klaus all your life and yet you encourage him to do something this crazy! What is wrong with you?"
"You're right. I know who my brother is and what he is capable of. That's why I trust him what he is doing. And right now I don't think you seem to understand the purpose why Klaus wanted to buy this submarine in the first place. This submarine, Elena was never from the start because of you or the cops chasing him. This baby is for a discovery Klaus and I are trying to achieve."
"A discovery? What kind of discovery?...I don't get it. Klaus never told me anything about this. He frightened me when he said that this submarine is where the two of us could be together. But I'm beginning to be more concerned on this crazy experiment you and Klaus are planning."
Elijah shook his head. "You are nothing like Katherine. And I don't think you ever will be. But for one thing, you will get the purpose of this discovery, Elena. I promise you it will be something unlike anything you ever seen."
He turned around and headed to the door.
"Wait! Elijah what are you talking about?! Elijah?!" I shouted. But he was gone. I ran to the door and pressed one of my hands on the door, but this time it did not scan my handprint. Why isn't it working? I tried it again. But the door still refused. Rats! I could only open the door to enter but not able to exit. Damn Klaus!
