Chapter 6: Lost at Sea

Elena's P.O.V

I wake up with a smile on my face it's Friday and our class have project day so we don't have to show up for school today. I also talked to Damon and he's off all day too so he's doesn't have to go to work today either we're meeting at our 'Secret Lair' to spend the day together alone.

It's been a day since we had our alone time because none of us had time to go to the lair yesterday and even though a day isn't a lot I still miss Damon more that I can say. Damon and I have always been really close and we almost never spend time apart even when I dated Stefan I still spend all my time with Damon.

I get out of bed to shower once I'm done I find a cute white summer dress that I decide to wear and I put a light make-up on before I walk downstairs to eat breakfast. I sit down in the kitchen eating some yoghurt when I see my brother enter and he stares at me before he speaks up.

"Wow! You look amazing, Elena. Off to see, Damon?" He asks with a smirk and look confused at him.

"Um- No I-." I trail off.

"Of course you are, Elena. I know you and I know Damon. I know he doesn't obey rules and that you listen to him. I knew you were dating him yesterday, I could feel the change in you and see it in your eyes. I'm happy for you even though he's your teacher and I got your back, I hope you know that sis." He says sweetly and I smile at him.

"Thanks Jer, I know I can always count on you." I say getting up to hug him.

"But please tell him that if he ever hurts you he'll answer to me and be careful because you can't be caught with him." He says hugging me back and I feel happy that he knows because I hate lying especially if I lie to Jer.

"I know. I will. Thanks Jer, but I'll better go if I want to make it on time." I say sweetly.

"Of course, Elena! Go on and I'll see you later!" He says sweetly hugging me one last time before I walk to my car and drive to the lair.

I finally arrive at the lair and I have butterflies in my stomach just because I get to see Damon again when I walk inside I see that Damon is already there and that he brought lunch for us. Damon is from Italy so I definitely love when he cooks for us because he used to do that when I slept at their house when I was younger.

He decorated the lair beautifully with flowers and candles, the smell of lavender in here is amazing so romantic. I meet his beautiful blue eyes and we walks towards each other until our lips meet in a passionately kiss. I don't know how long we've been standing there in each other's arms when Damon pulls away to say something.

"Since I can't take you to a first date, I thought I could bring the first date to you." He smiles, his smiles is disarming.

"Damon, it's perfect." I whisper completely touched by his efforts to give me everything.

"God I've missed you, Elena." He says sweetly caressing my cheek.

"I missed you too, Damon. Even though it's only a day since I saw you it still feel like it's been months." I say touching his hand while he's caressing my cheek.

"I know. It's pure torture not being allowed to be together like we used to." He says and I see the pain I feel in his eyes.

"At least we together now and we don't have to keep this up for long." I say sweetly.

"That's why it's bearable, but let's eat I brought homemade food." He says with a smirk.

"Good idea. It smells fantastic as always." I say amazed that I can loved him even more than I already do each time I see him.

We walk to the small table we brought to the lair a few years back, we sit down to eat of course the food tastes amazing as expected. I decided to tell Damon that Jeremy know about our relationship and to my surprise he didn't even get mad just happy because Jeremy is his friend so it means a lot to him to know that my brother supports our relationship.

To another surprise, it turns out that Stefan knows about us too and he's supporting us? I mean we need all the support we could get if it got out, but Stefan's supporting us? I didn't see that coming because we just broke up and I'm with his brother? I'm so happy that Damon told him and that they're starting to get close again. Stefan and I are trying to be friends now and it's really working for us just to be friends, if Damon hadn't been my teacher everything would have been perfect.

After we're done eating the lunch Damon brought for us we help each other clean it up when we're done Damon turns his attention to me and I feel my heart skipping a beat when I look into his beautiful blue eyes. He walks towards me placing his hands around my waist pulling me as close as we could and I wrap my hands around his neck looking deeper into the beautiful blue eyes of his just enjoying this moment.

"I love you, Elena. I wish I'd told you that, years ago." He says looking into my eyes.

"I love you, Damon. Forever." I say kissing him passionately on his lips.

I start to run my hands through his beautiful black raven hair as he pulls me closer. He slowly starts to unzip my dress and let it fall to the ground while I start to take off his shirt and throw it somewhere in the lair.

He lifts me up and I lock my legs around his waist as he carry me to the mattress and putting me down slowly without breaking the kiss for a second. I run my hands through his hair loving the feeling of his hair black raven hair, we kiss passionately not wanting to let each other go, ever.

I wake up in Damon's arms as he caresses my cheek. "Hi beautiful, you feel asleep." He says kissing my temple.

"Yeah I must have, I just feel so safe with you." I say kissing him passionately.

"Well I don't mind at all, I love having you in my arms." He says happily. "So how do you want to spend the rest of the day?" He asks.

"Well, I can see that you brought your computer and some movies, so we could see a movie." I suggest happily.

"That's what I thought you would say." He says getting a movie ready, but suddenly his phone starts ringing. "Sorry, I need to take this." He apologizes and I nod. He look worried as he talks and I start to get a bad feeling. "Yes, I'll do it." He answers and looks over at me.

"Who was it?" I ask worriedly.

"That was the principal, he called me because of Tyler's boat party tomorrow, he wants me to chaperone at the party." He says uncomfortably.

"That's gonna be fun, having to look at each other for hours without being allowed to have any kind of contact." I say sarcastically.

"Yeah, that's what I thought." He says sarcastically. "Let just forget about it for now and enjoy the time we have right now." He says staring the movie up and I nod. He gets back to the mattress and we cuddle close to each other just enjoying the moment.

I wake up next morning when Damon kisses my cheek and moves to my neck, I gaze into his eyes before I give into the feeling and I kisses him passionately. We ended up staying the night because none of us wanted to go home, he's too damn distracting for his own good.

We actually ended up eating breakfast in 'bed' because none of us is ready to leave yet, but we both know that we have to because of Tyler's party tonight were I have to be there for Caroline and Damon have to chaperone his students.

After a few hours we both know that we have to get up and we get dressed, but just as I'm about to leave he grabs me pulling me closer again, kissing me passionately and he moves to my neck making me moan. "Damon." I protest but he continues anyway. "You know what'll happen if you keep doing that." I warn and he pulls away unwillingly.

"I know, but I want that to happen." He grins and I can't help myself so I kiss him passionately again and I find myself unable to stop and I know that if I keep this up he won't stop either, but I just can't and I don't want to.

Before I know it we both back in bed like we never left and unable to do anything about it at the moment. When I finally get home, I know that I have less than an hour to get ready for the party, so I hurry to take a shower. I pick out a bikini in case we're gonna swim and I find a top with hot pants, I put a light makeup on before hurrying outside where Caroline and Bonnie are waiting for me.

We get to the party boat fast and get on board, I already see Damon and I feel the need to walk over and kiss him, but I have to act like I don't love him at all. Our trio walk to the bar to get a drink, Caroline said she wanted to be here because she would show Tyler that the break up didn't affect her and she knew that her new crush Rebekah's older brother Klaus Mikealson would be here.

Bonnie and I are just here as support for Caroline, but Caroline already ditched us to go hunt Klaus and make him hers. Bonnie and I decided to drink and dance until Caroline have time to hang out with us.

Suddenly I feel someone standing behind me and I turn around, I instantly feel disgusted. "What do you want, Kol?" I ask annoyed.

"I saw the way you and the teacher looked at each other and I know that you were together yesterday, I warned you both and I will go to the principal on Monday." He says amused.

"We're not seeing each other, Kol. You made sure of that so just stop threatening me." I say angrily.

"I don't believe you, Elena. There is no second chances this time. Have a good party." He says walking away.

I feel sick to my stomach just wanting to go home, but then I realize that the boat left shore I'm stuck here. I know that the only way that I'll get through this party now when I can't even leave is to drink enough to fall asleep or just to forget. I walk to the bar ordering drink after drink and I see Damon's worried expression, but I keep drinking anyway.

Now I'm at the state where I can't walk or see straight, but I keep drinking anyway I need to forget the pain of losing Damon in a few days, is just unbearable and I can't take it. I drink until I'm so drunk that I'm gonna be sick and I run to the edge of the boat, but as I lean out to throw up over the edge I fall off the boat and into the cold water.

I feel the cold water in my mouth, making it hard to breathe and I try to swim, but I'm too drunk to remember how to swim. Suddenly I feel a pair of strong hands around me bringing me back up so I can breathe. I get up on a little boat just lying there, someone jumps up in the boat as well trying to get the water I swallowed up and it all eventually went black.

Earlier that evening.

Caroline's P.O.V

I came to this party with my two best friends Elena and Bonnie, I mostly came to show Tyler that I'm fine without him, but also to go after my newest crush Klaus. There is something over him and his British accent there just drew me in the first time I talked to him.

I know it's bad to ask my two friends to go just to ditch them to 'hunt' boys, but they seem to have fun anyway. I walk around on the boat to find Klaus when I bump into Tyler and I instantly decide to just turn around and walk away, but he stops me.

"Hey, where you going in such hurry." He smirks.

"Away from you." I say simply and coldly.

"Now why would you do that? We can have fun." He smirks.

"I don't think so, you broke up with me remember?" I say coldly.

"Of course I do, but that doesn't mean that we can't have fun." He smirks pressing me up against a wall.

"No, we can't! You drunk! Just get away from me." I say angrily.

"I don't want to do that." He says trying to kiss me and I try to fight him, but he's too strong and I know he won't let me go. I close my eyes knowing that there's nothing I can do no one can hear me here, but he suddenly let's go of me and I open my eyes to see what happened, I see Klaus having him pushed up against a wall.

"Listen you punk, she said no and that means no! Get the hell out of here." Klaus says coldly letting Tyler go, normally I would expect Tyler to fight back, but he just walks away and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "Caroline? Are you okay?" He asks concerned.

"Yes, I'm fine now. Thank you so much for your help." I say gratefully and he smiles.

"No problem, come on, love. I'll buy you a drink." He says softly putting a hand around me leading me to one of the bars on the boat and he hands me a drink.

"Thank you, I really appreciate it." I say happily. We talk for a while about everything as we drink a couple of drinks.

"How do you feel about a dance, love?" He says softly offering me his hand and I smile taking his hand.

"Of course, you're my hero today." I flirt as he leads me to the dancing floor pulling me close and wrap my hands around his neck, resting my head on his shoulder as a slow song starts to play, I feel sparks in my entire body every time he touches me and looks at me as we dance.

Our eyes meet gazing into each other and he slowly caresses my cheek before he closes the distance between us in a passionately kiss. We kiss for a while before we walk back to the bar to get another drink and he smiles at me.

"Caroline, I was wondering if I could get your number so I can text you the details of our first date." He flirts seriously and I smile widely.

"Of course you can, I'm looking forward to it." I flirt writing my number down before I give it to him.

"You won't have to wait for long, love." He flirts taking his phone up to write her number in it. A minute later, I get a text and I look at it smiling widely.

I'll pick you up tomorrow at 7 for a perfect date. Can't wait, love. - Klaus.

Looking forward to it. - Care. I text back before I kiss him again. I think I'm falling in love with this guy before we even went on a first date.

Damon's P.O.V

It's been a horrible long evening having to look at Elena without being able to talk to her, touch her and kiss her, but at least she's having fun with Bonnie. I feel bad for putting her through this she shouldn't have to hide her boyfriend for her friends, but I just can't let her go I love her too much for that.

Suddenly after a few hours I see her walking alone towards the bar and she look really upset I just want to go to her, to comfort her, but if I do there's a very good chance we'll be busted and we'll lose each other for good.

She keeps drinking shot after shot and that's where I know that something is really wrong, it pains me not being allowed to go over there. I send her worried looks, but she keeps drinking until she can't even walk straight.

She keeps drinking even after she can't stand up anymore and I'm about to go over there when she gets up running to the edge of the boat and I start to get scared. She leans out, it looks like she's feeling sick, but then she falls in the water and I panic.

I look around fast, but no one saw it and I don't have time to get help because then she'll drown before we'll be able to get to her. I loosen a boat fast and I jump in the water, I can see that she's already under the water and I dive to get her.

I finally get to her holding her tight and start to swim up to the surface again, I finally get her head over the water and I hold her swimming towards the boat I loosened. I get her in the boat and jumps up myself, I know that she have water in her lungs and I make her throw it up.

When she's finally breathing right again she passes out, I start to look around for the party boat only to realize that it's completely out of sight. I grab my phone in my pocket only to found out that it doesn't work anymore after being in the water and I know that I can't do anything about this, we're lost at sea and no one knows it yet.

Elena's P.O.V

I wake up in Damon's arms and I smile until I realize that it's to light here, it doesn't make any sense. I open my eyes and a rush of memories from last night comes back my talk with Kol, drinking until I couldn't stand, falling of the boat.

We're on sea in the middle of nowhere, I sit up in a hurry until I feel Damon's arms around me again protectively. "Easy." He says trying to stay calm.

"Damon, we're in the middle of nowhere on sea, what are we going to do?" I panic and he makes me turn around to look at him.

"I don't know, Elena, but there's no reason to panic because it won't help." He says sadly. We sit there for hours in each other's arms trying to calm each other down when I suddenly see an island.

"Damon!" I almost yell and I point to the island. "Look!" I almost yell and he looks for a second.

"An island! Let get over there!" He says paddling wildly to get over to it.

After what seems like hours we're finally back on shore, but it appears to be an undiscovered island and I know that the chances of being saved and get back home is slight.

Damon and I pull the boat to shore, we start to check what we even have to keep us alive. We have some disgusting dried food, a knife, a signal gun and two blankets, we both know that we'll need to build some kinda house to sleep in during the nights.

We gather everything we can find to build a sort of house and we found some vines that we can use as rope. And after hours of hard work we have some there works as a house we find some leaves that we lay on the ground instead of mattresses.

"I think we should try to get some sleep, Elena." He says softly and I turn around to look him in the eyes, I close the distance between us in a passionately kiss, we might as well live like there's no tomorrow because in our case we don't know if there will be another day.

We kiss like there was no need to breathe and I lock my legs around his waist as he lifts me up, before I know it, he places me softly on the leaves never breaking the kiss for a second.

I wake up feeling safe in Damon's arms, I really want us to get home, but if I have to be stranded here forever then I'm happy that it's with Damon. He holds me close protectively and I know how much he loves me because he jumped in the water to save me knowing that he might never get home again.

I look up at him kissing him passionately. "Thank you for saving me, Damon. Without you I would have drowned." I say.

"I can't lose you, Elena. You know that, I love you more than my own life." He says passionately.

"I know, Damon. Please know that I would have done the same for you." I say passionately.

"I don't doubt that for a second, but why did you drink so much on the boat? You looked like your whole world was breaking down." He asks worriedly.

"Because it was, Damon. Kol would have told the principal about us on Monday and then I would have lost you and your career would have been over." I confess.

"That basted, I never liked him." He says angrily.

"Don't get me wrong, I really want to get home again, but I love being here alone with you where no one separates us." I confess.

"I feel the same way, Elena. I want to go home, but I don't want to lose you and if we have to be stranded here for the rest of our lives then we're at least stranded here together." He says. "But we do need to face reality, Elena. This island might be dangerous and we don't know what's out there, we need to learn how to protect ourselves." He reasons.

"I know, Damon, but how?" I ask because I know nothing about fighting or surviving.

"I'm gonna teach you how to fight, I know we probably won't need to fight, but it's a good way to train and get in shape if we ever need to fight or run for something. We need to make some weapons and most important we need to find a way to get some food." He explains.

"I guess that weapons will be a good way to start, if we want food we'll need to catch it." I say finally realizing that this will be hard and dangerous, but we both need to stay alive because I know the other one would give up if one of us died out here.

"Just what I was thinking." He agrees and we get up.

Damon really knows his survivor skills because he quickly finds a few branches that he can make a spear out of with the knife that we're lucky enough to have. He shows me how to cut it to make it good enough to protect and kill if necessary, he makes ten of them.

We make a fireplace close to the 'house' we build to keep us warm and to make food on once we catch something. Damon takes a spear and walks into the water because he figured that fish would be the easiest and less dangerous to catch, he was right after about an hour or so we have three fish each that I cut and get ready as he caught them.

We light up the fire with two stones to grill the fish because I really don't feel like eating sushi and after another hour we can finally get something to eat. It's impressive that we in four hours or so have some weapons and food, considering where we are the food is pretty good.

We sit in each other's arms for a while after eating just enjoying right now because no of us knows how long we'll have. "Elena, as much as I'm enjoying this we need to start training, none of us is trained for this and we can't protect ourselves if we have to." He says a bit sad.

"I know, let's train." I agree, I know how scared he is because he's afraid of losing me, scared of being alone here and we get up.

"Okay, you need to stand like this." He says showing me a fighting position and I try to copy it, but I really have no clue about this. He stands beside me and corrects my position until I got it right, I know we won't really need to fight someone, but this is a way of getting stronger and faster.

I don't really like fighting Damon because I love him way too much to ever being able to hurt him, but since I'm far from trained I wouldn't be able to hurt him. We train until I'm so exhausted that Damon needs to carry me to the house.

Back In Mystic Falls

Caroline's P.O.V

It has been a day since Bonnie and I have seen or heard from Elena last time we both saw her was on the party boat, but she properly went home. Klaus is picking me up in an hour for our first date and to say that I'm excited is an understatement of the year because I really like him.

I decide to wear a short red dress with matching red heels and a light make-up I want to look good, but still natural. I smile widely when I hear the doorbell and I almost run to the door, but take some time to check my work before I open the door.

"Are you ready for our first date, love?" He smirks.

"Yes, of course." I say grabbing my jacket and my purse before he leads me to his car, we drive for a long time before he finally parks the car. He gets out and opens the door for me as a perfect gentleman as he leads me inside.

"Welcome." The waiter smiles.

"Hi, I booked a table for the night under the name Klaus Mikealson." He says politely.

"Sure, right this way." She says leading us to our table and I gasp, it's private room decorated with candles and flowers it's truly romantic.

"Wow, you must really like me since you brought me out of town to a French restaurant with private table." I blush as he pulls out the chair for me.

"Yes I do." He smirks.

He orders some food for us and I must admit that he knows how to order the right food because it tastes amazing. The rest of the evening goes by faster than I want it too because as it turns out we have a lot in common, he drives me back home just before my curfew.

"Thanks for tonight, I had an amazing night." I smile.

"I did too, there's only one thing there can make it better." He smirks.

"What?" I ask and before I know what's going on, I feel his lips on mine soft and tender, I kiss him back instantly.

"Good night, love." He smirks as he walks back to his car and I stand there with a goofy smile on my face, this was an amazing first date.

I wake up the next morning getting to school fast to see Elena and ask her why I hadn't seen or heard from her this weekend, but she's nowhere to be found and her phone goes straight to voicemail.

I get inside the building where I see a couple of cops and instantly talk to Bonnie and I asking if we have seen her because she is missing and so is our new English teacher Damon Salvatore. She couldn't be with him could she? Then I hear Tyler tell them that one of the boats is missing from the party boat and then I know why we haven't seen her.

Elena and Damon are the only once missing and no one have seen either of them get off the party bout or seen them since, they must have fallen of the boat without anyone seeing it, if I had just stayed with her! I feel like a horrible friend, what if she died? Bonnie and I are standing in the hallway crying on each other's shoulders before everyone is sent home of the day.

A/N:

How do you guys like Caroline's P.O.V? Should I focus on her relationship with Klaus too? I'm thinking of doing Bonnie's P.O.V some time as well :)

The story will still be Delena without a doubt, but I kinda like Caroline with Klaus and Bonnie with Jeremy, I just don't know whether or not I should write it :)

Also do any of you have suggestions for what's gonna happen on the island? I'm all ears :)
