Chapter Six - Mysterious Caller.
Richmond Airport's car park (Twenty minutes behind Caroline's schedule).
"We are victorious!" Damon cheered with his human companions after he parked his Chevy in the nearest parking space before Elena's car was even in sight.
"If I was you Damon, I'd be out of my sister's sight after what you did." Jeremy told the vampire with a smirk as he and Matt got out of the vehicle to help Stefan (who already climbed out) with the suitcases. Matt went off to find a trolley as Jeremy waited to see the recognizable red car his sister drives.
"Are you just going to sit in your car and admire your reflection in that car mirror, or are you actually going to be useful for once?" Stefan stood beside the drivers door watching Damon as he sorted his hair.
"Always got to look presentable brother." Damon simpered and fanned his hand gesturing his brother to move so he could open his door.
"The girls are here!" Jeremy called out from a distance warning Damon.
"This is going to be interesting." Stefan muttered loud enough for his brother to hear.
"What is she going to do? Slap my wrists and tell me off?" Damon scornfully answered.
"You crashed into her? And not to mention cutting her up before we even left Caroline's drive earlier on..." Stefan continued to press him.
"They were the ones egging on a race during that red light a few miles up. Not my fault she doesn't like to play dirty... But then again, you would already know that Stefan." Damon waggled his eyebrows and brushed past Stefan leaving him a little too lost for words. The eldest vampire began to stride away happily with his latest come-back to catch up with Jeremy and Matt (who was riding around on the trolley waiting for the girls to pile it up with cases).
"I thought you said they had arrived?" Damon asked standing tall behind Jeremy.
"They have? Look." He pointed a few rows down. Caroline and Bonnie were already at the trunk of the car pulling out the seven suitcases, while Elena was circling around her car.
"I knew it!" She screeched in anger that everyone immediately stopped what they were doing.
"I think someone is in trouble..." Matt mentioned to Damon before retreating over to the girls with his trolley.
"When am I not in trouble?" Damon mumbled under his breath and followed everyone towards the girls.
Stefan, Caroline, Bonnie and Matt were huddled around Elena, listening to her as she told them all to look at the left side of the her car. Meanwhile, Damon and Jeremy were a few yards behind everyone else. Once they caught up Damon decided to speak.
"What are we all staring at?" He whispered jokingly. Suddenly Elena looked up and glared straight at him.
"What is wrong with you?!" She complained.
"Honey, we will be here for the rest of the afternoon if I began to list everything that was wrong with me... Maybe the best question to ask is what is not wrong-" Unexpectedly he was cut short with a sharp, clapping sound of Elena's palm striking him right across the left side of his jaw. The whole group sucked in their breaths as they watched. Elena seemed ultimately more relaxed as Damon didn't move from his position.
"I will let that one slide..." He seethed through gritted teeth.
"Look at my car!" She ignored him and pointed. Matt and Bonnie moved aside to let Damon take a closer look. Elena's red paint-work on the left, back door was now a brown/ purple color – after colliding with Damon's blue Chevy. Also, there were many black scuff marks as well as a nice little indent to finish it off. Damon scrunched his face knowing that, his dirty tricks were definitely going to cost her.
"I guess I went just a little bit too far this time..." He smiled awkwardly.
"You guess?" Caroline's high pitched voice appeared from behind Stefan, "That isn't going to be cheap to fix! And you almost could of seriously harmed us with your foolish movie stunts!" She stuck up for her brunette friend.
"Oh, please someone put the little blonde, chihuahua back in her cage..." Damon rolled his icy blue eyes. Jeremy was the only one who snorted at the chihuahua comment however, no one paid an interest.
"Damon?!" Stefan now joined.
"What? They were the ones who agreed to have that race! So technically it is their faults as well!" He pulled out his hands.
"You charged right into us. That is cheating and I don't condemn it." Caroline continued to bite at the Salvatore. Damon stopped to look at everyone's frustrated and heated faces. When he got to Elena's resentful eyes his smug grin left and was replaced with honest look of repentant.
"Fine, I'm sorry Elena for agreeing to race with you girls and side charging into your car..." He apologized while looking at the ground. Everyone was on tender hooks as they waited for Elena's reaction.
"We will discuss how you are going to pay for this once we get back." She sighed as she pressed the button on her keys to lock the car and walked towards the airport entrance. Damon was about to reply insisting he wasn't going to pay for it but Stefan intervened.
"Don't even think about it." He whispered to his brother as he walked by to catch up with a pissed off Elena. Bonnie and Caroline never bothered to even glance at Damon and left as they pushed the full trolley together.
"Great start to the holiday. Well done." The quarter back bravely mentioned as he pushed away another trolley. The only two left were now Jeremy and Damon.
"Go on then... Tell me that I should be ashamed of myself or something I actually already know." A slightly beaten down Damon uttered to the young teen.
"If you already know then what's the point." Jeremy began, "And as much as I don't really like you, to be honest that car journey was probably the funniest car journey I've ever been on." Jeremy grinned. Damon shook his head and started to chuckle under his breath.
"I don't really like you either little Gilbert." He replied and placed his hand on Jeremy's shoulder as they walked off to catch up with the rest of the gang.
Elijah's car stuck in traffic...
"People always told me, be careful of what you do. And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts. Oooo... Oh." Kol's Iphone had eventually given up and died due to lack of batter power. "Well, that's just rude." Kol ripped his headphones away from his ear in annoyance and flung the mobile to the floor.
"Is there any reason why you did that?" Elijah glanced over to his now quiet brother as he waited for the traffic to start moving again.
"It stopped working...Half way through Michael Jackson?" Kol looked at him with sadness in his eyes.
"Did you charge it before you left?"
"If you mean, did I stick that white wire in my phone before I packed it in my suitcase, then no I didn't." Kol uttered.
"Then that would be why it stopped working." Elijah explained.
"It said it had at least 20% battery left during Brittany Spears!" Kol pleaded.
"That was six songs ago. And you also flicked through your playlist choosing what you wanted to listen to."
"What has that got to do with anything?"
"Everything you do on that phone will result to your battery decreasing Kol."
"And here's me thinking technology was the best thing to happen to this world..." Kol sighed.
"It is." Elijah replied. The traffic to slowly start moving once again and Elijah changed gear to get ready to follow.
"It's silent...Why is it silent?" Rebekah leaned up from the door with a yawn – she decided three tunes in, to copy Klaus in sleeping.
"My Iphone died." Kol answered emotionless.
"Did you kill it with your horrendous singing voice?" She smirked.
"Leave the jokes to me sister." Kol turned around to give her evils.
"You're one big joke Kol." Klaus had now woken up from his little sleep and in his mind, thankful that the singing had finished.
"Oh, go back to sleep grandma wolf!" Kol rolled his eyes as he heard his brothers voice.
Elijah ringtone began to vibrate in his suit pocket stopping Klaus to reply to Kol's comment.
"Well are you going to answer it?" Klaus questioned him.
"I am driving Niklaus. Unlike you, I do obey the laws." Elijah peered through his wing mirror.
"I'll answer it!" Kol tried to grab the pocket causing his the eldest original to swerve.
"Kol!" Elijah bellowed. Kol sat up in his seat awkwardly knowing that he was no longer his eldest brother's favorite for the rest of the drive.
"Who would be calling you anyway?" Klaus continued.
"I wouldn't know because I haven't looked." Elijah stated the obvious.
"Who ever it was, they have stopped calling." Rebekah mentioned. The four siblings sat their awkwardly just as Kol was, waiting for the next word to be spoken.
"How long does it take to get to an airport?" The youngest brother started a new conversation.
"As long as it takes..." Rebekah sarcastically uttered. Kol retaliated her sarcasm by messing around with the seat button causing it to flip back into Rebekah's lap.
"Get the damn chair off me now!" She screamed.
"I fancied a nap." He tried to reply, however his laughter kept interrupting.
"If you have damaged the seat Kol, you are paying for it." Elijah added, still fixated on the road. Instead of replying, Kol simply groaned and touched the same button to lift the seat back up in its rightful position.
"Back on Kol's previous question, shouldn't we be at the airport by now?" Klaus checked his watch to make sure.
"I've only just got out of a pile up, we will be there in the next ten minutes."
"I hope so. I can't wait to get out of this car." Rebekah stretched her legs as far as they could go.
"I can't wait to get on this plane." Kol excitedly stated.
"You know, being on a plane isn't that amazing?" His sister endured in ruining Kol's fun.
"Well, thanks to Nik I wouldn't know." Kol folded his arms.
"Are you ever going to let it go? Rebekah and Elijah have." Klaus sighed.
"Who said I have let it go?" His sister turned her head to Klaus.
"Oh, don't you start as well." He pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. The ringtone of Elijah's phone distracted the originals once again. The three all watched their eldest brother clear his throat and become very bothered.
"I can answer it and tell them you will call them back?" Kol offered however only to be nosey.
"Thank you Kol but no they can wait."
"They have called you twice, don't you think it might actually be important?" Klaus added. The phone call shortly ended once more leaving the three younger originals bemused. During the next few minutes not much was said between the passengers until Kol saw a sign that read Richmond Airport.
"Are we here?" Kol rose up out of his seat to lean out of the window.
"Yes Kol." Elijah breathed. Even now, Rebekah and Klaus were looking out of their own windows to see many cars parked in hundreds of rows. Rebekah was the first to recognize Damon's Chevy already parked.
"Well the Salvatore's are already here." She muttered.
"So are Elena and the girls." Kol pointed out as he noticed not far behind.
"They do know we are going to be there as well right?" Elijah rose an eyebrow to Kol.
"Yupp." Kol lied.
"No they don't." Rebekah blurted. Kol flipped around once more to give his sister the look of pure hatred.
"Yes they do!"
"They either do or they don't?" Klaus questioned. Elijah had finally parked in a free space and decided to ignore the rest of them and step out of the vehicle. Rebekah instantly followed to stretch herself out and Klaus forgot about his recent question to climb out to sort the cases. Kol was left inside, not really sure with how anything goes beyond this point. He was now in an unknown territory. Kol was distracted with a knock on the window by the hybrid.
"Come on."
Kol picked up his phone from the floor and shoved it inside his pocket quickly as he opened the door to help Klaus. For the third time today, Elijah's phone rang once again compelling silence all around.
"I'm going to have to answer this... I'll meet you all inside." Elijah motioned his siblings to get going as he pulled out his mobile and answered the call.
"I told you not to ring me first..." He trailed off to the other person on the end of the line as he walked far enough so his siblings couldn't hear.
"Well, I guess this caller is going to be known as anonymous for a while..." Kol mentioned as he tried his best to overhear the conversation the best he could but failed.
"Right, well lets leave our brother to speak with his secret caller." Klaus told the other two, as well as getting them to grab their cases.
"Kol? Take Elijah's case." Klaus insisted.
"Um no."
"Take the case." Klaus glared at Kol with a slight more annoyance than before.
"Why should I?"
"Because one, I said so and two, we are not going anywhere until you do...So your choice?" Klaus finalized. The most current argument ended with Kol doing what his brother said and storming off while dragging both suitcases behind him.
"Well you've certainly just pissed him off..." Rebekah muttered.
"Oh that's merely just the beginning." His face morphed into his usual evil look, confusing his baby sister.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm going to make Kol's life a complete and utter misery."
Rebekah stood still in shock and Klaus stopped with her.
"Is this because of everything that happened last week?"
"No this is because of everything that has happened in the past thousand years Rebekah." Klaus shocked her once more. "Or have you forgotten what he is like?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten, he's a little shit but what do you think you're going to achieve? And what exactly are you going to do?" Rebekah wasn't sure this was the right way to set off with this holiday.
"I'm going to simply make this the first and last holiday he is ever going to want to experience."
"I'm still not getting how you are going to do this?"
"By showing Kol exactly what he is like." Klaus began to walk again.
"What?" Rebekah laughed in disbelief and ran up to catch up with him.
"I am not going to discuss this any more Rebekah. At the end of the day, I have had enough of him and I like revenge." Klaus put his hand out to announce that it was the end of the conversation.
"One Kol is enough. I don't fancy having to put up with you being his twin." Rebekah mentioned.
"I said I am not discussing this any more." Klaus walked off for the final time ditching an addled Rebekah standing in the car park terminal alone.
"Why are you still stood here, when Niklaus and Kol are inside?" Elijah caught up once he was finished with his anonymous caller.
"Because I am beginning to wonder whether all this is really worth it?" Rebekah sighed as she picked up her case.
"You might have to expand on what you mean Rebekah?" Elijah asked as he took his sister's case from her grasp to take it his self.
"Nik didn't bring the white oak stake did he?" Rebekah pondered.
"No, but I did?" Elijah now looked worried. "What has happened?"
"Does he know you've brought it with you?" Rebekah questioned.
"No."
"I think it would be best if you kept it like that through out this holiday." She half-heartedly smiled. "He wants revenge on Kol and he thinks this holiday is the perfect moment."
"That would explain why he so suddenly changed his mind on the matter." Elijah sighed annoyed with his self that he never guessed it sooner.
"Mmm hmm." Rebekah nodded. The two of them decided that they should actually meet up with their brothers inside, in case Klaus has already put his crazy plan in motion...
