Chapter Two

"I don't know what you mean." I said a little to fast. I tried to step around Kol, but he cut me off once again.

"I think you do, Darling." Kol said with a dangerous tone. He held his hand out in between us and a flaming ball appeared in his palm.

Wonderful, the psychopath can control fire.

"Control yourself, Kol." Bonnie hissed.

"What do you want?" Jeremy asked. Speaking up for the first time.

"Like we said, we want to help." Bonnie said calmly.

I was anything but calm. "How can you help us?" I asked.

"Can we go somewhere to talk? We have a safe house a outside of town. We'll explain everything." Bonnie said.

Bonnie seemed nice enough. Kol, on the other hand, i didn't trust him as far as i could throw him. I looked at Jeremy who shrugged in response.

"Okay," I said after a minute of thinking it over. "I really hope i don't regret this."

Bonnie had a car parked a few blocks away. About 45 minutes later she pulled onto a rocky path almost hidden in overgrown trees and brush. A few minutes later we pulled up to a large old abandoned house. The house looked like it had been beautiful in its day but it was now neglected and run down. The brick was cracked and worn. A few windows had cracks or holes that were patched with cardboard. The house just looked tired.

"What is this place?" Jeremy asked from beside me.

"This is our safe house of sorts. No one knows this place still exists except our group." Bonnie said putting the car in park.

"Group? There's more of you." I didn't sign up for this. "How many?"

"Eleven including Kol and I." Said Bonnie.

"I agreed to talk with you. Not join your gang."

"We're not a gang, we're a rebellion." Kol said with a smirk, like he just wanted to get to me. Which he probably did.

"Excuse me?"

Bonnie sighed, resting her head against the steering wheel. "Come on kol! This is why i didn't want to bring you." Then bonnie turns to me. "Just come inside and hear us out. Please, Elena."

I hesitated, "Come on, Elena. We don't have to stay." Jeremy resoned.

I gave in, "Okay, fine."

We all got out of the car and when into the house. The house was still pretty run down on the inside but you could tell they cleaned in up quite a bit. The floor was as swept clean and looked to be in decent condition besides a few cracks in the wood. The walls have some holes here and there like someone had thrown something or punched it in a fit of anger, and the wallpaper was a disaster.

We walked into what looked to be a main sitting room. There was a Blonde girl sitting on one of the two couches, which had a few rips and tears in it but looked pretty clean otherwise. She was reading a fashion magazine that was probably a few years old. Across the room sitting in a worn high back armchair is a handsome man in an expensive looking suit. How he got his hands on one of those is beyond me. He was also reading, but his book looked to be and old history book. There is also a recliner and one other armchair.

Bonnie walked over to sit next to the blonde. "Hey care." The blonde looked up from her magazine and smiled.

"Hey Bon Bon, are these them?" She asked looking over a Jeremy and I standing awkwardly in the entryway. That's when i noticed Kol had slipped away at some point.

"Yes, this is Elena and Jeremy. Guys this is Caroline, and that's Elijah." she said gesturing to the guy in the suit.

"It's nice to meet you, really. But i would really like to know why we were brought her." I said crossing my arms over my chest.

"Well love, i'd say you two are pretty important. Considering the lengths the government has gone to for your captures." The voice came from directly behind me and caused me to jump a foot in the air. Putting a hand over my racing heart i turned to glare at the owner of the voice.

"Leave them alone, Klaus." Bonnie hissed. Then look at us. "Would you guys like to sit? Then i'll explain." I moved to sit on the second couch and Jeremy followed, sitting beside me. Klaus just leaned against the wall be the entryway.

"How did you know who we were?" I asked before she said anything.

"We caught word the the Government was after a brother and sister, you two." She paused, "They were going to some pretty extreme lengths to get any information on you two that they could. We figured you two had to be pretty special for all that attention, or you have sensitive information. Either way you could be helpful to our cause."

"Okay, but how did you know our names and what we looked like?"

"Caroline here is a Technopathy. She can control Technology. She Found pretty much anything and everything about you guys that's online. Which isn't much, but it was enough."

"So you have been stalking us?" Jeremy asked.

Bonnie hesitated, "Yes… Sorta. But we're only trying to help you."

"Again with the helping us thing. How can you help us?" I was quickly getting tired of this conversation.

"Well for one, we have a safe place for you to stay." Bonnie said waving her hands around the room.

Jeremy's eyebrows crinkled, "How do you not have trackers all over this place?"

"We have ways of staying hidden." Caroline said vaguely.

I waved off the vagueness. "When you say you can help us… surely you're not just meaning our sleeping arrangements."

"No," Said bonnie. "There's a way for us to help each other actually. As i'm sure you remember, Kol mentioned we are a rebellion. Which is true."

"I'm confused." How can a brother and a sister on the run help a rebellion?

"We want to put a stop to the way things are being done, as far as gifted people are concerned. And to do that we need numbers. With you two we're at thirteen. That may not seem like a lot but that's thirteen people, all with unique talents." Bonnie paused to let us take in the new information. They wanted us to join their rebelion to esinchally take down the entire government. How would that even be done? "And there's one more thing…"

"What more could you possibly have to add to all that?" I asked. I was totally overwhelmed.

"Some of us have lost loved one's to the government's tyranny. They want justice for those lost. As i'm sure you do." She was just so calm about all this.

"What do you mean?" Jeremy questioned.

"For your parents."

All right guys. As always, let me know what you think. I kinda wrote this in a hurry, so let me know about any typos or mistakes you may find. Thanks!
