Hey guys! Sorry it's taking me so long to post, but, you know, stuff to study, people to see, all that. So here's a brand-new chapter! :) And merry Christmas! Also, I apologise for the stories being so confusing because of no separators- but now I have them! Haha! Hope you're no longer confused! :)
Chapter Four
It didn't last long, though. Castiel ruined the blissful silence by saying,
"So who are those Salvatore people I've seen you with?"
"What?" Katherine asked. He hadn't been spying on her all this time, had he...?
"I wasn't just going to leave you."
"It sure as heck looked like you did, when you told me back in the 1200s that you had to go back to Heaven and couldn't ever come back."
"I kept watch over you. I saw you have your first child- but I don't know the father- and I saw you become a Vampire. I saw you kill, feed, love, laugh, but never really live. Then the Apocalypse started and I ran from heaven." Castiel said.
"You saw me have my child?"
"I prayed for you."
"Can Angels even do that?"
"Well, I did."
"Oh- I- Thank you." Katherine said, a little touched.
"I don't mean to sound envious, but... who was the father?" Castiel said, sounding envious.
Katherine stared at him. "Sometimes you're so smart, sometimes you're so dense..."
"What?"
"You were."
…...
Matt was utterly lost.
…...
Elena was tied up.
"Sorry," Dean had said, "I'm not taking any chances."
Now Sam was keeping a wary eye on her as Dean moaned about Castiel.
Suddenly Caroline walked in.
"Hey what the-" She said as Dean fired his rifle- but Caroline was too quick. She leapt at Dean and they struggled to kill- or at least seriously hurt- one another.
"Caroline!" Elena shouted, "There's one behi-"
Caroline saw and slammed Dean to the ground with an epic move, effectively knocking him out. Then she leapt at Sam, who fired his shotgun but Caroline ducked and tackled him. She slammed an elbow into his face and he moaned, then passed out.
"Wow." Elena said. Caroline smiled, then walked over to Stefan and undid his ropes, even though she burnt her hands. Stefan rubbed his wrists, then untied Damon while Caroline untied Rose. The Stefan ran to Elena and gently untied her. They hugged.
"What the heck is going on here?" Caroline said.
"Those freaks-" Damon said, pointing to the unconscious Sam and Dean, "Attacked us and tied us up with Vervain."
"Why?" Caroline said.
"I don't know."
"Random."
"It's getting light," Elena said. "And I'm tired. Maybe we should just gather everyone and sleep here for a while?"
"I'll get Jeremy and Bonnie," Stefan said, "And Matt, wherever he is." Then he jumped out of the window.
"I'll take care of these jerks," Caroline said, gesturing to Sam and Dean.
"I need to go hunt," Damon said, jumping out of the window.
"I'll come with," Rose said, tailing him.
"I'll go get beds and covers and bring them down here- I don't think it's safe for any of us to be alone. Because of the storm, and these guys, and KATHERINE'S OUT OF THE TOMB!" Elena cried.
"What?" Caroline turned to see Katherine with that random guy in a trenchcoat from the tomb. He looked vaguely uneasy.
"Katherine- How-" Elena stammered.
"Where do you think Bonnie went? In her trance, something was telling her to let me out of the tomb." Katherine said, smiling slowly. "Of course, she collapsed and was dying, but I gave her some of my blood and saved her. And I nearly drained Jeremy." Katherine licked her lips.
"You little-" Elena snarled, but a clap of thunder swamped whatever she said next.
Katherine smiled again, while Castiel frowned.
"What the-" Dean said, waking up. Caroline ran to Dean and lifted her foot, but Castiel stopped her. He placed his hand on Dean's chest and suddenly Dean was healed of everything. He did the same to Sam.
"What the heck is going on!" Elena said.
"Why don't we wait for everyone to get back, then everything will be explained," Castiel said.
Caroline and Elena just stared at him.
…...
Damon was the last to step through the window.
"What's going on?" He asked.
"Sit, Damon," Rose said. Everyone was sitting down on blow-up beds and mattresses, swamped in blankets and pillows. Everyone had a torch because the storm had caused a powercut, and, although it was daylight, the storm obscured the sunlight so it was like night.
"Aren't these the people that shot me?" Damon said, looking at- well, glaring at- Sam and Dean.
"Yes Damon, but can you not kill them for now? We all need to talk." Katherine said.
"Okay. I'm Stefan Salvatore. That's Damon Salvatore, my brother. And Caroline, my friend. We're all Vampires. That's Bonnie, who's a Witch. This is Elena, my girlfriend, and her brother Jeremy, and her friend Matt. And that's Rose, Damon's... Uh... "Special Friend". Now who are you?" Stefan said.
"I'm Dean, this is Sam. We're brothers in the hunting business. Hunting supernatural creatures. And this is Castiel. He's an angel." Dean said.
Everyone looked a bit surprised at that- well except for Sam, Dean, Castiel, and Katherine.
"Um, hello?" Katherine said. "I'm Katherine, and I'm a Vamp."
"Okay, now that we've got that cleared up, why did you shoot me?" Damon asked.
"Because we're hunters, and you're evil." Dean said.
"That's not fair- I'm not evil!" Caroline squealed. "None of us are!"
"Sure, Blondie," Dean said.
"Shut up. I'm bored." Katherine said. "Hey Witch, entertain us."
"No." Bonnie said.
"I saved your life," Katherine reminded her. "You owe me."
Bonnie sighed. "I can do this thing that shows you who your soulmate is."
"Do that!" Caroline said.
"Okay- who wants to go first?" Bonnie said.
"I'll do it," Jeremy said softly, crawling over to Bonnie.
"Get in a circle," Bonnie instructed everyone. Everyone did. "Now join hands- good. And concentrate on Jeremy."
There were a few seconds of silence, before Bonnie said , "Unknown."
"What?" Jeremy said.
"She's got straight blonde hair, and blue eyes, but I don't know who she is because I've never met her." Bonnie said.
Jeremy looked disappointed.
"Elena, you next," Bonnie continued. Everyone concentrated on Elena.
"Matt," Bonnie said.
"What?" Stefan said. But Bonnie was in a sort of trance now, and she couldn't stop.
"Stefan... Rose. Damon... Unknown. Sam... Bonnie. Dean... Caroline. Katherine... Castiel."
Everyone looked a bit shocked.
Suddenly a bolt of red lightning forked down from the sky. An outsider, looking in, would have seen a room full of people, then a flash of red- and then an empty room.
…...
