Stranded

AN: Who updated this story at 11:00 PM? This girl! Well, unless you live in another country where the time is normal, it's okay, I still love you ^_^ Also, I finished my exams! I'm sure I didn't completely aced at them, but they were rediculously easy, so you can expect updates for this story every day! (or, whenever I get an idea into my head.)

Without further ado, and I know you got bored of me talking, let's begin!

Chapter Four: The Reveal

''How long have we been in this boat? I'm bored.'' Elena checked her clock. ''About... 2 hours. Don't worry, Jer. Soon enough, we'll be at home, only having Klaus to worry about.'' Klaus smirked. ''I'm flattered.'' ''Stefan, do you happen to remember where were Rebekah and Kol?'' ''Really, Shane? I was in the middle of the ocean, I don't think there are any signs saying: Welcome to Ocean Floor 1, where Jellyfish and sharks are nearby, and if you are here, you are dead.." ''Right, and I'm a genius who's supposed to know everything.'' ''Well, for once, you were the one that taught Bonnie Expression, so you're the genius here.'' Klaus moved towards the engine and started jamming it. ''Can't this boat go faster?'' Caroline couldn't miss this chance. ''Aww, is Klaus concerned?'' ''They are my siblings. And now, they are in danger. Besides, once we go back to Mystic Falls, I'll hate each and everyone of you again.'' ''So, you don't hate us now?'' ''You think I can stand being trapped in a boat with all of my enemies? Besides, if I do anything stupid, you'll probably throw me in the ocean.'' ''You're right at that, I could do it myself.'' Stefan jumped into the conversation. ''Whatever, just make this damn boat hurry up.'' Stefan rolled his eyes and jammed the engine, making the boat go a little bit faster. Klaus looked ahead at the never ending horizon and sighed.

Rebekah tried her best not to fall asleep, still holding her brother tight. ''Kol, just wake up.'' She said, wearily. Stefan had left her alone and it had been 7 hours since then, even though it seemed like centuries for her. She was still able to float, and she had 1 blood bag to keep her strong. But what about Kol? He hadn't drunk anything for days. Maybe it was too late? Or he was still unconscious from the countless stings from those dreaded jellyfish? The thoughts kept circling inside her head, as her face filled with tears. ''What am I gonna do now?''

Damon kept walking in circles around the forest, waiting for something to happen, or someone to appear behind him. He kept calling out Bonnie's name, but he knew he would get no response. He decided to go deeper into the forest, and he did. Using every muscle of his body, he pushed himself and he ran faster than the human eye could see, until he was greeted by a giant cliff. ''Great.'' He saw a small cave at the rocks as he bent down, and heard a familiar voice yelling: ''Damon!'' All of his insticts flashed through his head, as he jumped down and landed safely on the ground, something an average human would not even be able to think of attempting. He ran to the cave and saw Bonnie tied up on a rock. ''Bonnie!'' As he went closer, Bonnie yelled. ''It's a trap!'' ''What?'' All of a sudden, a man jumped out of the shadows and pinned Damon to the ground. Damon struggled to get away from the man's grip, until he grabbed a stake, and pointed Damon's heart. Damon closed his eyes, not wanting to see ot feel what was coming next, until Bonnie lifted her head and gave the man an aneurism. Damon quickly got up and pinned him down. ''Who the hell are you?''

''I don't think we are getting any closer to them, Klaus.'' Klaus sighed. ''No, keep going. We will find them.'' Stefan shook hid head in disbelief, until almost everyone except Jeremy and Shane heard Rebekah. ''Rebekah! Quick, turn this boat to the right!'' Stefan rushed to the engine and with a few quck moves, the boat changed direction, and after a few minutes, Rebekah could be seen floating. ''Rebekah!'' Rebekah, still tired, turned to the right and saw a boat approaching her. '' Nik?'' The boat stopped infront of her, and Stefan jumped in the water, followed by Klaus. Klaus grabbed Rebekah and Stefan grabbed Kol and both went back up in the boat. Rebekah started coughing, spitting out water, as Klaus kept hugging her. ''It's okay. You're okay.'' Stefan quickly laid Kol down on his back, and everyone gathered around him. Shane got a few towels that he found in Rebekah's backpack. ''Make way.'' Shane kneeled down next to Kol, who was still unconscious, got his coat out, turned him at a 90 degree angle and wrapped the towels around him. Rebekah grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself, and ran next to Kol. ''Is he okay?'' She said, with a weeping voice. ''He's badly injured. Why isn't he healing?'' ''Vampires don't heal when they are unconscious.'' Shane nodded. ''I think he's gonna be okay. If he was a normal Vampire, he would be dead by now.'' Rebekah hugged Klaus, and he patted her.

''Answer me now, who the hell are you?'' The man laughed. ''You pparently have no idea who I am.'' His strong Irish accent prevented Damon from understanding what he completely said. ''Come on man, I swam through endless seas just to get here. All I want is a name!'' The man chuckled. ''You want my name? Fine.'' The man got up with a quick move, and suddenly, Damon saw the Hunter's Mark on his right hand. ''My name is Galen Vaughn, and I'm here to kill Silas.''

AN: SO? Did you like it? Leave reviews if you did, I appreciate them!

Next Chapter: Vaughn tries to persuade Bonnie to open the chamber to Silas, and the crew continues their journey in the boat...

Until next time... This has been Irene, see ya!
