Rebekah's secret part 4
Franklin POV
Rebekah made a phone call to the Salvatore Brothers and volunteered the use of the Sea King Helicopter. They had agreed and had asked to meet at the Boarding house. Meanwhile I had the Helicopter flown over to Rebekah's house and I had given it the once over to make sure it was ready to help find the Cure. Once finished Rebekah and I got into the Mondeo and drove over to the Salvatore Boarding house.
"Just to let you know the Salvatore's don't like my family very much, and whatever you do, Don't Piss off Damon Salvatore or he will kill you" Rebekah warned me.
"Trust me if they so much as think about harming me or you, the Salvatore's are as good as dead" I replied.
Rebekah smiled at that and we just sat listening to the radio as I drove the car all the way to "Salvatore House" as Rebekah nicknamed it.
The Salvatore's were waiting for us outside. Also there was a female with dark red hair.
Rebekah POV
I stepped out of the car and Franklin followed. I noticed Franklin was watching the Salvatore's carefully.
"So you must be the infamous Franklin Jones" Stefan said.
"I didn't think I was that well known" Franklin said sarcastically.
"Do have a helicopter or what?" Damon asked.
"I do have one" Franklin said calmly, but I could tell he was trying to stop himself ripping Damon's throat out.
"Do you know where the cure is?" I asked.
"Yeah, that professor dude knows where it is and we are all planning to go out there in two days" Damon replied.
"It is here on the map" Stefan added as he showed us a map with a large red circle around an island in the middle of it. Franklin gave the map a closer look than I expected him to but he then said "The Helicopter has enough fuel to get there and back no problem and we will have at least 2 hours' worth of fuel left-over"
"So that means if the Professor, Bonnie or Jeremy get injured we can airlift them to hospital" Elena said.
"Who are Bonnie and Jeremy?" Franklin asked.
"Bonnie is a friend of Elena and she is a witch and Jeremy is Elena's brother but he is a vampire hunter" I replied.
I saw Franklin visibly tense up at that, and unfortunately Jeremy stepped outside.
Franklin snarled loudly at Jeremy, I saw his eyes turn red with black irises and black veins, his fangs also came out but they were longer than normal.
"Franklin, calm down!" I warned him.
But Franklin didn't do as I told him. He pointed at Jeremy and shouted "That hunter killed my Mate!"
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!" Jeremy shouted back.
"LIAR" Franklin shouted and he pulled out his Colt 45 revolver and charged. Elena managed to throw Franklin into the trees but that didn't stop him. By now Elena, Stefan, Damon and I had our fangs extended and our eyes turned red with black irises and veins. Franklin had nicknamed this effect "Hunting eyes" again and again Franklin attacked but we managed to hold him back. Stefan, Damon and Elena didn't know what Franklin could do but I did and I used this knowledge to my advantage. Eventually I managed to restrain him and compel him to calm down. Franklin was still agitated but he didn't make any move to hurt me or the others. Once we got inside the house and had calmed down enough to look human again Damon asked.
"What were you going on about?"
Franklin looked agitated before he said "70 years ago, I met a girl around my age, her name was Marie, she was the most beautiful human I have ever met, we fell in love and I changed her into a vampire but just after we were married a group of hunters attacked us, I managed to fight them off but my Mate was quickly staked and killed, her killer looked exactly like Jeremy, ever since I had kept it a secret from all of you, right now Rebekah is the only one I trust"
We all looked at Franklin in silence before I said "I am so sorry, if there was anything I could have done, I would have done"
Franklin smiled weakly at that but then Stefan came back into the room and he said "Klaus has got Caroline and Tyler hostage and he wants the cure"
Franklin then got off the sofa and sprinted to the car. While he was gone I ran to my house and packed my bags, the Salvatore's, Elena, Bonnie and Jeremy did the same and soon we were waiting at the Professor's house for Franklin to arrive. Sure enough I heard the noise of Helicopter engines and Franklin's sea king Helicopter suddenly appeared and it quickly swung around and landed in front of us. We got on while the engines were still running. As it took off Damon shouted over the engine noise "How the hell did you get your hands on this enormous beast!"
Franklin shouted back "I compelled the manufacturer to build this helicopter and give it to me for free"
After that we all just sat and talked while Franklin flew the Sea King Onwards towards the island with help in navigation from the professor. After a while Franklin announced that he was going to land the helicopter in a large mound of rocks which was surrounded by water and a cave was close by. As Franklin said this I thought "The Search for the Cure is on!"
