Bloody Island

THEY WERE OUT of the loop for sure. Damon had left Athena there to wait for Rebekah to awake. Her sister took a lot more time than necessary, which was why when she did wake up, morning had appeared. The sun was in the sky and the birds were chirping away. While they walked, neither said a word but they could feel it. Something had changed. Damon was searching the camp when they arrived. He heard the leaves that rustled underneath the girls' feet. His vampire face appeared. "Unless you're a blonde, a Bennett witch, an Nyx, or a doppelgänger, I suggest you steer clear."

He approached the old shack and opened the door. The two appeared next to him, starling him. Rebekah narrowed her eyes. "Where is it? The cure? We know someone has it."

Damon avoided their eyes for a moment. "Yeah, someone - Katherine."

Athena nearly smiled at the mention of her favorite doppelganger. It had been a long while since she last heard from her. The news didn't surprise her considering that Katherine probably wanted to shove the cure down Klaus's throat. "Katherine?"

"Yeah. Sneaky little bitch must've been spying on us for weeks. She killed Jeremy...or somebody did." Both girls frowned. "He killed your brother. Let's not with the fake sad faces."

Rebekah sighed. "We didn't say we were going to miss him, but we're not heartless. He was Elena's only family."

"Good. Well, you two can send flowers after you help me find Bonnie."

He began to walk away and they stared at him. Athena called, "We need to find Katherine."

Damon continued to walk. "If there's one thing that's a guarantee in this miserable little world, it's that Katherine Pierce is gone. We need to find Bonnie. Oh, and beware of the immortal Silas. If he was asleep in that cave, he's awake now."

The Salvatore left the two girls standing there and Athena looked over at her sister with hesitation, but then followed. Rebekah then followed her. Eventually, they caught up with Damon and together they walked through the woods.

"Do you think Bonnie is dead?" Rebekah questioned.

"Never thought I'd say this, but I hope not," Damon replied.

Athena looked around them and shivered. The island felt different, that was for sure. Maybe it was because Elena was no longer on the island or maybe it was because Silas had awakened. "Perhaps we shouldn't be out in the open."

Damon teased, "What, afraid of the big, bad Silas?"

She scoffed. "No."

Rebekah smiled at her, knowing that Athena was already getting fed up with Damon. He then said in a sing-song voice, "Scaredy cat!"
