Hey guys, this is set after 5x02 so if you haven't watched the most recent episodes then better not read this because so many spoilers. This is how I would want the season to go. Mostly stelena. Please read and review, would be appreciated a lot. Thank you! :)

Elena's P.O.V
"Stefan?" I called out over and over again. His back was towards mine. He didn't move, not a single inch. I tried walking closer and closer towards him but I couldn't. Every step towards him felt like a step backwards.
My body jolted up quickly. I felt a pair of arms around me.
"Elena?" I heard as he moved closer towards me. It wasn't the voice that I wanted to hear. I could feel a tear escape my eyes. "Aw come her, Elena." He said pulling me closer towards him.
"We-we have to find him." I said through my sobs.
"I know. I know." He said soothingly. I closed my eyes in his embrace, trying to calm my breathing down.
Stefan, where are you? I thought to myself.

Stefan's P.O.V
I don't know how long I had been walking for but I didn't care. All I could think about was my thirst. I clutched at my throat. My lips were cracked and the dryness was unbearable.

My footsteps were following a heartbeat. A single heartbeat. Before I knew it, I was in a bar. A woman stood there cleaning the front counter. She turned around at the noise of my footsteps. Before she could even let out a scream, I was across the room, my sharp teeth digging into her neck. There was no one to hear her high pitched scream.

She fell to the floor, limp. I could hear two tiny gasps from the doorway. Before I knew it, there was another two bodies next to the first. I collapsed to the floor. What had I done? My thirst had subsided and now all I could think about were the three dead bodies next to me. I tightly held my head, trying to get the thoughts out.
"It's okay." I heard her voice trying to soothe me. She knelt down in front of me, her hands cupping my face.
"Elena?" I whispered as my eyes widened. "What... What are you doing here? How did you find me?" I asked her looking into her big brown eyes. She hadn't changed a bit since I last saw her. There was still that pink streak in her hair but it was more wavy now.
She didn't answer the question, she just kept saying in a soothing tone. "It's okay. You're okay now."

She suddenly got up and started walking.
"Elena?" I called out but she just kept walking.
She walked into the arms of another man. One I knew so well. She started kissing Damon in front of me. I could see that Damon smirk all too well.
"I love you. Only you." She said lovingly into his eyes. I could feel my heart break into a million pieces as she said those words. It was like she shoved her hand into my chest and just crushed my heart.
Damon was now looking at me. "I finally got the girl. She loves me, not you. How does it feel little brother?" He said to me laughing.
"Who would want boring old Stefan? No one." Elena said kissing damon again.
Drowning over and over didn't compare to this pain. Nothing did.
"How does it feel? That might not really be them but it's damn close to how they are now. While you've been drowning for three months, they've been playing house with each other. Not a single thought about you." I heard him say. Suddenly Damon and Elena were gone and I was staring at a emptiness.
"Silas." I said, my voice hardening. I turned around to face him. My hands were rolled in fists.
He had a look of glee on his face. "Doesn't it feel nice to not be trapped? The clean fresh air, the blood rushing down your throat, your veins bursting with power? I mean other then the fact that your brother and ex have been going at it..." He said. I could feel rage start to build up within me. Before I could do anything, he had me kneeling down in front of him. "Mmm... Lets not fight. I don't feel much in the mood right now. But here's how it's going to work. You're going to find Katherine and bring her to me. Although, I do like the chase it gets quite boring after a while."
"And why would I do that?" I said through gritted teeth.
"We'll, you really don't have a choice." He said with a cold smile.

Elena's P.O.V
"So where is he then?" I asked as Caroline, Damon and I looked at the empty safe.
"Probably off killing everyone in a hundred mile radius." Damon said offhandedly. I just stared at him in shock. "I'm just joking. We will find him before he kills someone... Hopefully." Damon said.
"We have no idea where he is, what he's doing or where he's going." Caroline said frustratedly.
"Thanks captain obvious." Damon said to her.
"Well, thanks to you guys we probably already know where he won't be. And that would be anywhere near here." Caroline said.
I ignored their bickering and knelt down over the safe. My hands traced the inside of the door where there were small dents in it. It was probably where he tried to force the door open. Stefan, please where are you?

Caroline and Damon were still bickering as we got back to the Salvatore mansion.
"Well, no one invited you to come with us Caroline. You could have stayed at whitmore college." Damon told her.
"He's my best friend. And if we did find him, I'm pretty sure he'd want to see me more then he'd want to see you." She said back to him.
"You really don't like me, do you?" Damon said with a smile. He really didn't care what she thought of him.
"What gave that away?" She said sarcastically.
"Shhh." I said hushing them. I could hear a noise from the living room. I knew that hair all too well. He turned towards us, he had a cup of blood in his hands, his green eyes looked straight at me and then to Damon and then back to me again.
"Stefan." I said letting out a sigh of relief as I rushed to give him a hug. I felt him flinch away from me.
