ON THE EXPEDITION FOR THE CURE

"Couldn't they have hidden this cure in Hawaii?" Damon asked, sharpening a knife with a rock, "Where did you take us?"

"Two hundred miles off the Nova Scotia Mainland." Shane said, "If you recall, the point of the cure was to put it on one of the most secure, desolate islands in the world."

"Oh yeah?" Damon questioned, picking up his bag, "I thought the whole point was that no one found Silas." he paused, "The oldest, deadliest freak in the world."

"Yeah, that too." he held a bottle out, "Sunscreen?"

"Is that a joke?"

"Right."

Kyra quietly laughed to herself as she sat with Stefan and Rebekah, who was glaring at Elena.

"You know, you're not really helping." Stefan said.

"You are perfectly capable of tying a knot." Bekah replied.

"You're giving Elena the evil eye." Stefan sighed, "It's not helping."

"She killed my brother and tried to get you to put a dagger in my back." Rebekah defended.

"She deserves it." Kyra said, "She's a bitch."

"Kyra is right." Bekah says, "Elena is lucky all she's getting is the evil eye."

"You know I can hear you, right?"

"Oh we know," The Blackthorn Witch called out.

"We just don't care." Bekah finished.

Elena dropped her backpack and sped towards Bekah with the White Oak Stake in her hand and attempted to point it at her heart, pulling her hand back to stake her.

Kyra sped in her way, knocking Elena to the ground, as the doppelganger glared at her in anger.

Kyra wasn't intimidated, "Go ahead. Try to kill her. But then you would have to deal with the real problem you have. And that would be that Stefan invited Rebekah here himself."

"I think he likes me again." Bekah teased.

"Maybe he does." I encouraged, turning around to face her, "He clearly doesn't want to pine after Elena's ass anymore."

Rebekah widened her eyes and sped behind me, "Don't you dare try that again!"

"What?" I asked, turning back around, "What did she do?"

"She just tried to stake you, Kyrie."

"Oh did she now?" I smirked, "I knew she was a bitch. She's crazy."

"If there was a less awkward way to do this, I would." Kyra told Jeremy as she kept prodding his skin and taking pictures of the tattooed Hunter's Mark.

"Doesn't bother me." he smiled.

"Don't start to think I'm not pissed at you and your idiot sister for killing Kol."

He frowned, "Look, Kyra, I'm sorry for that. I really am. But I didn't have a choice, he would've killed Elena and me."

"Elena, maybe." she frowned, "He would not have wanted to suffer the Hunter's Curse, so he would have kept you alive." she paused, "And you should be grateful for that." she examined the mark, running her fingers over his inked skin, "These symbols had to of been left for the Hunter's to find the Cure." she pointed at the symbols littering Jeremy's chest, "This is the story of Qetsiyah and Silas. According to Shane, Silas asked Qetsiyah for help. Making a spell for immortality. She helped make him immortal, only to learn he planned to use the same spell on another woman...not her." she told, "When she found out about it she lost it and..."

"...killed the other woman." Jeremy realized.

Kyra nodded, "Everybody has choices. Some people just make the wrong ones."

Jeremy cleared his throat, "Does it say anything about the Hunter's role in all, of this?"

"I was wondering when you'd ask." Shane said as he walked up to them, "Qetsiyah created a cure for immortality an dthen she buried it with Silas, in the hope that he would take it and die. If he did, he would end up on The Other Side with her for all of eternity." he said, "But he wouldn't give her the satisfaction. So, centuries later, her descendants created the Hunters to find him, cure him and kill him." Jeremy raised an eyebrow in confusion, "You know what? I'll explain on the hike."

"Satellite phone lost the signal."

"That's great." Damon said sarcastically.

"Is anyone else a little creeped out?" Elena spoke up.

"Yes." Kyra teased, "By you."

"She's right." Rebekah said, "Why are you even here Elena? Just leave. Out of everyone your presence is the least necessary here."

"Please don't start." Stefan groaned.

"I am merely stating the facts." Rebekah defended, "Jeremy has the spell on his body. Bonnie is the Witch that unseals the cure. Shane is the human compass. Kyra is my best-friend and she's also keen on making sure I don't get killed by Elena and Jeremy because she doesn't trust the Gilbert idiots at all as of right now. Although, I would've dragged her out here with me anyway even if she didn't choose to come here." she said, "You and I have the tombstone. And Elena has absolutely no point in being here."

"What about me?" Damon called.

"You have a nice behind."

"That's great." Damon says, his tone laced with sarcasm, "There is an ax-wielding maniac in the woods and we're camping."

"We're safer her than we are hiking in the dark." Shane pointed out.

Kyra rolled her eyes. She wasn't even tired, she guessed it was the perks of being a Vampire. She would be ready to run from the maniac if she had to, taking Rebekah with her because that's her best-friend.

"Let's keep going." Damon said, "Get in, get out. Where is it?"

"How stupid do you think I am?"

"Stupid enough to raise an Immortal Witch." Damon said, "So, I'd say incredibly stupid."

This peeked the interest of Kyra, "Who's this 'dangerous, doom of the world' threat we're all worrying about?"

"Silas." Damon said, "Apparently he's the most powerful being in the world and the oldest Vampire."

"He's probably not that powerful." Kyra said, "He's not my bloodline."

"He was powerful." Shane said, "Although, I am in your corner all the way, Kyra."

"You'd better be." she mumbled to herself.

"Klaus!" Kyra yelled through the mansion, "You said you wanted my help, correct?"

Kyra had received a call from Klaus, and yes, she had given him her new number. Elijah doesn't have it yet because she hasn't seen him yet, he hasn't been around.

Anyway, she got a call from Klaus asking if she wanted to help him with translating the map. She would rather be doing anything but sitting on an abandoned island so she told everyone she was going home to help Klaus with the map. She wanted to take extra precautions first. Kyra had threatened Elena so severely that she was sure she wasn't going to try and kill Rebekah in her absence. Elena was actually scared, as Kyra just rolled her eyes.

She felt a breeze, "Hello, love." Klaus said, "Yes, follow me. You need to help me translate the map by using the cryptex on the Hunter's Sword."

"Sounds easy enough."

"Good thing I know Aramaic."

"Isn't that a dead language?" Kyra asked, "Last I heard it wasn't used since biblical times."

"I'm guessing it was Qetsiyah's native tongue."

"Um, this one is: requires a Witch and a Hunter in full bloom."

"Silas rests on the far side, the means if his destruction at hand." Klaus said, as he turned the piece on the handle of the sword, "The top of the hilt reveals the key to a nautical map." he suddenly froze.

Kyra raised her eyebrow, "What's up with you?"

"There's only one dose."

"Doesn't that mean they cant use it against you?"

"That's exactly what it means." he said as he pulled out his phone, "Rebekah."

"What, Nik?"

"There is something you should know about the cure." Kyra said.

"What is it, Kyrie?"

Klaus put the phone on speaker and sat back don on the couch, "There's only one dose of it."

"What?"

"There's only one." Kyra confirmed, "So if you want it, you'll need to be the first one to it."

"All right. Thanks, Kyrie." Rebekah said, "We'll be in touch."

Kyra and Klaus heard the beep of the phone signaling the call was ended.
