Chapter 4
Elena fidgeted and fussed on the cold, hard rocks the following morning. However, her discomfort did not wake her. Rebekah on the other hand had been awake for ages. She'd thought about waking Elena up but she looked so comfortable when she was asleep; waking her up would be a crime.
The cry of an animal caused Elena to shoot up from her slumber. She was instantly in defence mode.
"It's okay, you're safe" Rebekah uttered.
Elena jumped right into the deep end and blurted out the first words that came to mind.
"Rebekah, about yesterday.. thank you for saving me. If... If you weren't there, I don't know what would have happened."
Rebekah smiled "That's alright, love"
Elena returned the smile. "So do you have any idea about what's going on?"
"Okay well, I overheard them talking about you so I tracked their conversation the whole time. They are an ancient wolf-pack, it seems they know all about you and the fact that you're a dopple-ganger. They want your blood."
Elena winced "but why my blood? There are hundred of vampires out there."
"You see Elena, even before you were a vampire, your blood was the sweetest of them all and when you became a vampire everything heightened, didnt it?
"Yeah...?"
"Well so did your blood, it contains magical qualities now that can produce spells one cannot even fathom. I think they want to negotiate a deal with the witches using you. A lot of people are after you right now Elena"
"Ohhh so just another day in day in my miserable life, ey? I'm used to it by now, anyway forget all that. Look Rebekah, I really am sorry for stabbing you in the back. It's something I've regretted ever since that day and I hope you can forgive me."
Rebekah's heart skipped a beat at those words, the apology came as a surprise. "That's okay, let's just forgive and forget, shall we?" Rebekah lifted her pinky finger to which Elena intertwined with hers.
"That's the best idea you've had all week." Elena giggled. Rebekah laughed and playfully nudged her arm.
Rebekah's stomach filled with butterflies but she wasn't ready to admit her feelings just yet. "We should try and find the others to warn them that we are not alone on this Island."
"I agree, let's get outta' here."
With that being said, both girls began their journey back to the boat where Stefan, Damon and the rest all agreed to meet up.
The sun shone high in the sky but little did they know what they'd run into on the way back.
