Hey guys. Sorry, some of you didn't know I had posted the fourth chapter because there was an issue with the upload and it didn't go to the top of the list. It still only says there are three chapters, but now there will really be five! So sorry for the issue, and thanks for reading!

Bonnie sits down on the ground, holding Klaus's necklace in her fist, as Damon enters the room and sets a bowl of water in front of her.

"Fesmatos y corroz ma'at mei felice…" Bonnie chants quietly, as Jeremy, Damon, Stefan, Tyler, and Caroline stand in a circle to watch her.

Bonnie continues her spell for another minute, when Klaus's necklace suddenly bursts into flames. Bonnie opens her eyes and stops chanting.

"I know where he is," Bonnie announces to the group. "Fell's Church."

"Well, let's get going then! We're on a tight schedule!" Damon yells as he points to his wristwatch.

"Okay. Jeremy and Bonnie stay here," Stefan says, and Jeremy steps forward.

"No! She's my sister!"

"And if you go try being the hero, you'll get yourself killed and we'll have another psycho case!" Damon bellows impatiently.

"Jer, let's stay here," Bonnie says to Jeremy calmly. "It's better not to get in the middle of things.

"But it's Elena!" Jeremy whines.

"I know," Bonnie consoles him. "I love her too. We'll see her when they get back."

"Okay. Time to go!" Damon says cheerfully as he ushers Tyler, Stefan, and Caroline out the front door and towards the big black SUV.

"Hey, this is like a whole family road trip!" Damon tries to cheer up the group as they drive to Fell's Church. "Tyler and Caroline can be the parents, and Stef and I are brothers! Or I could be the dad," Damon winks at Caroline in the rearview mirror and Stefan sighs.

"Can you just focus on driving, please?" Caroline asks, annoyed by Damon's flirting.

"We're almost there, can't you just calm down. You're all so uptight!"

"We're trying to save Elena," Caroline retorts. "Why did you even come if you don't care?"

Before Damon can respond, his phone rings. Damon picks up and answers it.

"What?"

"Hello, Damon," Klaus's voice comes through the phone. "I hear you are coming to find Elena."

"Hey, Klaus. What's up? Listen, I'm almost there so if you would just have Elena step outside-"

"Don't play games with me, mate. I have Elena, but you're not taking her."

"Yeah, whatever, but if she could just come-"

"No!" Klaus roars. "Where is my sister?"

"I don't know!" Damon replies. "Maybe she ran away because she was so scared that she might have to leave with you."

"Damon, don't male him any angrier," Stefan tells his brother cautiously.

"Turn around and bring me my sister or I will rip Elena's heart out in ten seconds. Do you want to talk to her? Oh Elena! Come talk to your friends! They're going to get you killed in ten seconds!"

"Damon? Is that you?" Elena's voice crackles through the phone.

"Oh good, you're alive. We're coming to get you."

"No! Damon, don't! He'll kill you!"

"Elena, he doesn't have any of his hybrid minions, and there's five of us and one of him."

"Well, how do you plan on killing him? None of us can use the dagger!"

"Well, we can, we just choose not to so we don't die…"

"Damon, none of you are going to die to save me," Elena replies, lowering her voice.

"Elena, you have to trust us!"

"Damon! Turn around!"

"Uh oh, time's up!" Klaus interjects as he grabs the phone back from Elena. "Well, the countdown starts! Ten, nine, eight…"

Damon drives the car off the main road to a beaten path and stops quickly, before jumping out. "Get out of the car!" He yells to Stefan, Tyler, and Caroline, who quickly do as he says.

"We have to get Elena," Damon says before speeding off to leave the others behind in his wake.

Klaus counts on. "Seven, six, five…"

Stefan, Caroline, and Tyler run after Damon, and speedily arrive at Fell's Church to see Damon's eyes on Klaus, who is holding Elena in a headlock.

"Damon, you have to leave!" Elena chokes.

"No, Elena! He'll kill you, whether we leave or not! He doesn't need you anymore!"

"Damon, just get Rebekah! All he wants is his family! I'll be okay! You have to trust me, Damon!" Elena screams back at him.

"Four, three, two…"

"Damon!" Elena cries.

"This is taking to long!" Klaus yells as he shoves his hand into Elena's stomach.

Damon runs to Klaus and pushes him down as Stefan and Caroline run to catch Elena. Tyler runs to Damon's side to help him hold down Klaus, just as a voice is heard over all the cries.

"Stop, Niklaus!" Rebekah's cry is heard over the ruckus.

All six of their heads turn to face Rebekah. Klaus stands up and walks over to his sister.

"Rebekah, I didn't mean to hurt you," Klaus soothes Rebekah, who is still crying from the day's previous events. "But we have to go now."

Rebekah waits a minute before she replies, but even before she says a word, Matt sneaks up behind Klaus with the dagger and jams it into his back.

"Rebekah," Klaus chokes before he falls and crumples to a heap.

"I'm sorry, brother, but I will not be leaving with you this time," Rebekah mutters sadly.

"Well, well, well, little human hero boy has to do all the saving," Damon looks at Matt and smirks.

"I just saved your life, Damon," Matt replies calmly.

"Why do people keep trying to save me?" Damon wonders aloud, frowning at the thought.

Rebekah stands alone at the entrance of Fell's Church and watches Stefan and Caroline help Elena up off the ground. Damon walks over and stands next to her.

"You love her," Rebekah whispers to him.

Damon doesn't know how to respond. "Yeah, she's Elena. I've gotten to know her…"

"Damon, don't try to fool anyone, because it's not working. I've always known that you loved her, but I never said it."

"Rebekah, I really enjoy your company. Can we not mess this up?" Damon tries to conclude their awkward conversation.

"I'm just your distraction…I've known that too, but I was okay with it."

"No, you aren't a distraction. You're my friend. Friends with benefits," Damon chuckles and Rebekah can't help but smile.

"We're okay, Damon. This is my home now. But you still love her, and you need to stop denying it," Rebekah says, before turning away and walking into the woods, leaving Damon in her tracks.

Damon walks over to Elena and Stefan, who are struggling to walks back to the car.

"Need any help?" Damon asks concernedly as he walks alongside them.

"No, thank you, Damon," Elena coughs sweetly before tripping again and falling into Stefan's arms. Damon grabs her shoulder and he and Stefan steady her.

"I'm so sorry. I don't even know what happened," Elena tells Stefan and Damon as Tyler and Caroline come up to meet them.

"Hey Elena, are you okay?" Caroline asks her, giving her a big hug. "I was so worried about you! We all were!"

"Yeah, that was pretty bad. I can't believe Klaus is basically gone now. Unless he gets un-daggered…" Tyler finishes.

"Um, thanks…" Elena says, a confused look on her face. After a brief moment, Elena talks again. "Um, who are you?"

Okay everyone! I tried to make this chapter really suspenseful! I don't even know where it's going yet, but I'm sure it will be good! Thanks for reading!

Love,

The Salvatore/Somerhalder Fanatic
