Dead silence.
The whispers have stopped, all I can hear now are the rustling of the fallen leaves and the wind whisling through the atmosphere, brushing against my face. I turn my attention to the most wooded area, hearing faint sounds that seem to be footsteps. They are quickly sounding from behind me, which means it isn't a human hunting. It's a vampire. Just as I turn, I am slammed against a tree. Blinking quickly I realize it's Damon, with Caroline and Bonnie behind him. He peers past me, noticing Elena out cold on the ground; he vamps over to her...
"Elena?" he shakes her gently.
"I wouldn't get too close." I cut in, in the background over Damon's concerned words.
He looks over his shoulder, his eyebrows squinted as if he is in deep concentration, "What do you mean I shouldn't get too close, brother? Elena is lying here completely out of it, and from what I can tell, you seem to not have a care in the world."
"There are some things we need to talk about, and figure out." I say cooly.
"Furethermore, I don't think it's wise to try and wake her up, we need to keep her sedated and Bonnie here needs to see if she can pull some witchery tricks, to find out what in the hell has consumed Elena, because the sight I just saw was terrifying." I say, without pausing.
Caroline is behind me, I can sense she has noticed Katherine also lying across the pathway. "W-Why is Katherine here, Stefan?"
"I have yet to figure that out either." I reply.
Bonnie interupts, "It took us awhile to track you down, even with magic. There was a fog covering your wherabouts. I was lucky when I traced you."
"Me, I just followed the trail of lifeless, bloodless bodies laying around throughout the city." Damon's eyes narrow at me.
"Don't just look at me, Damon. I'm not the only one over indulging." I look down at the ground, realizing what I had just confessed to him.
Damon laughs lightly and takes a few steps toward me, his fingers up to his chin as if he is highly amused by my comment. "Riiiiight, because Elena did some work, hahaha."
I look up at him, making eye contact with him slowly.
Damon's face softens as he realizes I am not joking in the least..........
"Well well well, look what we have here." Klaus's voice cuts through the air like a thousand sharp knives. "A little family reunion?" He laughs as he lands down in the middle of all of us from a tree limb just up above us.
Caroline gasps, but stays quiet.
"Looks like we have a bit of a problem on our hands." he locks eyes with caroline, smiling.
"Oh, and Damon... let me tell you, your girlfriend sure is a wild one."
Damon's face turns to complete aggression and anger, he vamps speeds over to Klaus who dodges him by jumping over and past him. Damon's face whips back his teeth, sharper than blades. I grab Damon, and pull him back as he fights to break lose from me to give Klaus what he deserves.
Caroline stands in front of Klaus, her eyes piercing right through him. Total disgust is written on her face. Klaus returns to his normal state as he locks eyes onto her... just then they are interuppted by a painful sigh and leaves rustling.....
Elena is waking up..........
