Okay everyone. Here is chapter 4! I don't have much to say, so I hope you enjoy it, and thank you to everyone who has viewed my story!

"What the hell, Jeremy! Stop shooting her! She's your sister!" Tyler screams out to Jeremy, trying to tackle him before he shoots another wooden bullet at Elena.

"Tyler! Get out of my way!"

"No! You get out of my way! What is your problem?" Tyler shoves Jeremy up against the wall of the cavern.

"Tyler, don't hurt him." Elena interjects as she tries to stand up, but is too weak to even move her legs.

"Elena, you have to get out of here!" Tyler shouts as he pushes Jeremy up against the wall again. "I don't know what he's doing Maybe he's compelled. But you have to leave, Elena!"

Jeremy points his gun to Tyler and shoots a round of bullets at him, Tyler dodging all of them. "You don't understand, Tyler! I have to kill her!"

"Tyler! I can't move!"

"I don't know, Elena. I don't know what to do!" Tyler responds, panicking, until he sees a wooden stake Jeremy left on the floor of the cave. He grabs it and holds it at the pointed end, where he swings around and bangs Jeremy on the head with it.

The now unconscious Jeremy falls to the floor, and as Elena crawls to him to check his pulse, Caroline and Damon run down the steps and into the dim light of the circular cave.

"Oh my god. Elena! Are you okay? We were so worried about you! We came to save you from Klaus. Or Jeremy. What happened? Where is Klaus?" Caroline chatters on as she stoops down to check on her friend.

"I'm fine, Caroline. But thank you," Elena replies, trying to sound cheerful, but ultimately failing.

"No you're not, Elena! Look at all these bullets!" Caroline exclaims, a worried look spreading across her face. "Elena, we have to get all these out."

"I know. Oh, ouch. Caroline!" Elena shouts as Caroline digs into her leg to pull out on of Jeremy's wooden bullets. "I can do it myself, Care. But thank you."

"Fine" Caroline replies glumly and turns to Jeremy and Tyler.

"What's going on with him?" Damon asks in the background.

"No idea," Tyler replies. "I heard screaming, so I came down here. And it was Elena. Jeremy was shooting her every time she moved and I ran in and he just came at me. But I didn't kill him. He's just unconscious."

"Damn. All we need is another psycho case vampire slayer to deal with," Damon says cynically.

"It was his ring?" Tyler asks quizzically. "Alaric died a lot more than Jeremy has before he became…whatever you call it. Psycho."

"There's no other way," Damon explains. "He's on vervain. I hope he is at least."

"Well what are we going to do?" Elena asks Damon.

"We wait until he wakes up. But we have to get him home. We'll lock him up in the basement for now. Elena," Damon turns back to Elena, "I don't want you seeing him until we figure out what's wrong. He tried to kill you."

"But Damon!"

"Uh uh!"

"Where's Stefan?"

"He should be here soon. He's looking on his own," Damon tells Elena, calmly. "You have no idea where Klaus is?"

"No…" Elena replies softly.

"Do you know what happened?"

"I don't know. He just showed up and was angry and he vervained me. And then I blacked out or something and ended up here. I don't even know where "here" is! But Jeremy was with me and I thought he was taken, too. And he just started shooting me. I haven't seen Klaus since the lake house."

"Can you walk? We need to get the bullets out or you won't heal," Damon says, concerned for Elena.

"I know, I know. It hurts, but I'll get them," Elena says as he tries standing up.

Damon runs to her side to support her and leads her out of the cavern, Tyler carrying Jeremy's body following behind.

Damon, Tyler, Stefan, and Elena climb at of the black SUV and head to the front door of the Salvatore boarding house. Tyler carries the unconscious Jeremy inside and lays him on the couch, while Damon leads Elena inside.

Suddenly, Damon pushes Elena to the ground outside on the path to the door. "Katherine!" Damon scoffs angrily. "What the hell are you doing?"

"I wanted to come back to see you! Believe it or not, I miss you guys!" Katherine announces as Stefan walks up the driveway to meet them.

"Katherine?" Stefan looks at her, and his questioning look turns to panic. "Katherine! Where's Elena? Damn it, Katherine!"

"I don't know," Katherine smirks. "Why don't you? I mean she is your girlfriend and all."

Damon turns away and walks inside, leaving Stefan and Katherine alone.

"Katherine. Tell me where Elena is or I swear I will rip your heart out!"

"I told you! I don't know!"

"Then why were you impersonating her?" Stefan glares at Katherine, who just stares blankly and doesn't say a word.

"Damn it, Katherine. Did Klaus compel you?'

"No! Of course not! Klaus hasn't heard from me in ages…"

"Come inside. We need to talk," Stefan ushers Katherine inside the house graciously and follows close behind.

"Damon," Stefan says as he and Katherine enter the living room. "She won't tell us where Elena is."

"No, but I can tell you one thing. I'm still against Klaus. He killed my family and I still haven't gotten revenge, so if any of you try to cross me, I'll make sure you're dead the second you lie," Katherine smiles sweetly to accompany her threat.

"Yeah, whatever, Hon. Listen, nobody has really cared what you're up to since you left, so right now we're just focusing on getting Elena," Damon declares to Katherine.

"Wait," Stefan interjects. "Bonnie did a locator spell to find Elena, but instead it led us to you."

"I've made many witch friends over the decades. Who's to say I don't have one or two watching my back when Klaus starts playing dirty?" Katherine retorts.

'But why?"

"Eh, I needed help. Your little psycho brother of a vampire here was hurting me. A lot," Katherine mutters as Jeremy wakes up.

"That's it? No diabolical plan? No ulterior-motive? God, girl. You're not as bitchy as you were before. What a shame!" Damon sneers at Katherine, mockingly.

"I like this new and improved Damon so much more than the one from 1864! But I have to leave," Katherine says quickly before running out the front door.

"What was she doing here?" Jeremy asks, a confused look on his face, before standing up from the couch.

"You tried to kill her. And then stupid little hybrid Tyler saved her!" Damon says, cocking his head towards Tyler.

"Hey! I thought it was Elena! And you guys were coming to save her, too!" Tyler defends himself against Damon's comment and dirty looks.

"No, this isn't anything we need to blame on someone," Stefan concludes. "We need to work on finding Elena."

"I can help with that," Bonnie says as she enters the Salvatore's living room. "The necklace was spelled to lead us to Katherine, but we still have Klaus's necklace, right?"

"Yeah, but we don't want Klaus, we want Elena," Damon huffs.

"Who said that Elena wasn't with Klaus? Katherine was a distraction. Elena is probably somewhere near Klaus's location. If we can find him, we can find her. And if she isn't with him we can get it out of him."

"You mean like torture?" Damon's face lights up. "I'm starting to actually like you, Bonnie!"

"Where's the necklace?" Bonnie asks Stefan.

"Right here," Stefan holds Klaus's necklace out to Bonnie, who takes it and sets it on the coffee table.

"Then let's get started."
