"I can sense something"

"Sense what?"

"Someone's near by, I can smell his blood, it's not human blood though, it's vampire blood and there's something oddly familiar about the scent of the blood."

"How close are we?"

"I don't know, but the scent is fairly close by."

"Damon?" Stefan asked

"Wait, you know him?"

"Stefan?" Damon said before collapsing in the alley way.
