Lucy's POV

After several months, the new season was just about to start. I had started my senior year of high school. It was a good thing that I was smart because I had basically skipped an entire year. I sat in the school on a Thursday morning wearing a pink tank and jeans with pink tennis shoes with blue laces.

"Is this where the Glee club tryouts are going to be?" A girl asked me. She was short with brown hair and brown eyes. She looked a little like Elena. Apparently they were trying to bring it back because it hadn't made its comeback without Faith.

"Yeah." I explained. "I'm Quinn. What's your name?"

"It's Summer Winters." She replied. I couldn't help but wonder if that was her real name. "My parents thought it would be cute."

I then noticed that she was wearing a Vampire Diaries tee shirt.

"You like The Vampire Diaries?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's kind of my favorite show." She admitted. "I'm actually a huge fan of Fanna."

I couldn't help but wonder if there was another way back. It might involve taking her with me.

"Do you wanna come over and watch it at my house tonight?" I questioned. I had to find a way to get Faith back.

Faith's POV

It had been almost two months since Stefan left and it was now Elena's birthday. I wore a grey tank over a black lace tee with Daisy Dukes and black sandals. The biggest change in my appearance was the existence of a new ring on my finger. It contained an F Scrabble tile similar to Anna's A.

I walked downstairs to see that Anna was wearing a navy sleeveless dress with a brown belt and black heels. The major thing that had changed with her was that her hair now sported red streaks, similar to my blonde.

"So what are you going to do today?" She asked.

"I'm starting to wonder if all of this looking for Stefan is just a waste of time." I declared.

"It's not a waste of time. We'll find him." She assured me. "It might take a few months or years but we'll find him."

"Years isn't something that I want." I explained as I heard the bell ring. I went to the door and found Elena. She had a piece of paper in hand.

"Hey, I have another possible on where Stefan is." She told me.

"I'll make sure to give it to him." I declared.

"Thank you." She replied as she prepared to leave.

"Elena, before you go, happy birthday." I stated. She smiled before she walked away.

I went upstairs to Damon's room.

"Damon?" I asked.

"Morning" He greeted me. I knew noticed that he was butt naked, but his butt wasn't the part that I saw. I blushed and turned away. I heard him picking up a towel and tying it around his waist. "You know you should really learn to knock. What if I was indecent? So what is this?"

"It's from Sheriff Forbes." I explained. "It's something that may help us find Stefan."

"You mean it's another dead end." He countered.

"Damon, stop being like this. We have to find him." I argued.

"No we don't." He replied. "I've gone decades without seeing my brother. I take another one."

"If we're not looking for us, then we need to look for Elena." I pointed out. "She doesn't have a decade to wait for Stefan."

"She'd probably be better off just letting him go." He remarked. "Now I need to get dressed, so if you're not interested in seeing me naked, you should leave."

I made a loud annoyed grunt as I walked out of the room. I then headed downstairs.

Later Anna and I were at the Grill with my mom. I was still feeling frustrated about Damon.

"So can you really not use a locator spell to find them?" I asked my mom.

"I'm pretty sure that Klaus had them cloaked." She answered. "Maybe Damon does have the right idea."

"I was there with Stefan." I pointed out. "What if Klaus made me go too? Then would you be interested in helping?"

"I know that I would." Anna remarked. "I wouldn't be able to sleep until I found you."

"The point is that they're trying really hard not to be found." Mom stated. "It's going to take some time. I might be able to find them if I can get something of Stefan's that he has had since leaving with Klaus, but that would involve seeing him first."

"Well I think that eventually they'll slip up and leave behind an important clue." Anna remarked. "They might have already done it. Maybe we should go check this place out ourselves and see if we can find them."

"I'm not letting you two go to Memphis if Klaus might be there." Mom declared.

"We probably also wouldn't make it back in time for Elena's party." I added.

At that point, I got a text from Caroline. She apparently needed some help setting up for the party.

"Speaking of the party, it looks like we need to go set up for it." I explained.

"Can you please make sure that no one breaks anything." Mom requested. "I still think it's a bad idea to have this kind of party at the house, but I understand what it was like to be 18."

"I have a feeling that Elena's not going to be in a celebratory mood." I quipped before the two of us headed to the house.

I couldn't help but how long Stefan was really supposed to be gone. There was probably some part of the episode that showed him with Klaus. If I could access that part, I would know exactly where they were, but that wasn't possible. If Lucy had gone back like I thought she had, she would probably know where they were, but that didn't do me any good either.

Once I got to the house, Elena, Caroline and Tyler were there.

"So what did Damon say when you gave him the info?" Elena asked.

"He didn't do anything with it." I answered. Though, I did wonder where he was.

"It feels like every time I've given him something, I feel like I have to fight with him." She complained.

"Maybe he doesn't want to find him." Tyler suggested.

"Don't say that." Caroline chided him.

"I'm just giving my opinion." Tyler replied.

"Stefan left with Klaus after saving Damon's life." I remarked. "I'm pretty sure that he does want to find him no matter how he acts."

"Faith, do you think you can help me in the kitchen?" Elena asked. I walked off with her as I heard Caroline further scolding Tyler. "So I really wanted to thank you for all of the work that you've been doing with finding Stefan."

"Well Stefan is like a brother to me." I explained. "It's too bad that they didn't tell me where they were going. I'm also a little surprised that Klaus just let me go. He saved my life too even though he was the cause of the ailment in the first place."

"Well we will find Stefan." She promised. I had to say that I liked her confidence. "We just need to make sure to come up with a good strategy."

"We need to find a way to get Damon to go along with it." I declared. "So what kind of cake do you want?"

"I guess marble is fine." She answered. "So I have a question for you. What is it like, you know being with Anna?"

I couldn't help but laugh on the inside since she had known exactly what it was like to be with a girl.

"I don't know how to describe it." I replied. Basically, she was a lesbian when Lucy was here and straight when she wasn't. I couldn't help but wonder what it would have been like for the writers to suddenly have two more characters to write for.

I realized that I should probably wear a dress for the party, so I put on a sleeveless pleated dress with a black belt and red heels and lipstick. I was ready. Damon was back in time for the party. I still had no idea where he had gone, but I doubted that it had anything to do with Stefan.

I was currently helping Elena get ready in my room.

"I really don't feel like I should be celebrating." She admitted.

"It's still you're birthday and you'll still 18." I pointed out. "You can…vote and buy porn and whatever else you want to do. You can't legally drink or rent a car. I know that thinks kind of suck now, but you should be happy. This is house is filled with your friends plus Jeremy is here too somewhere."

"Are you two ready in here?" Damon asked.

"Yeah, we're all set." I declared.

"Before you go down, I want to give you your present." Damon stated. He reached into his pocket and he pulled out the necklace, the necklace that she had never worn.

"Where did you find this?" I asked.

"I had Sheriff Forbes get it out of the quarry." He explained. "Let me put it on for you."

I watched as he tenderly wrapped it around her neck. It was the way that it was supposed to be, but it still looked wrong in my eyes. I was used to seeing Stefan and Damon with Lucy, not Elena. I saw a look in Elena's eyes and she was in love with him. She definitely loved him.

We then headed downstairs and it wasn't very long before Damon left to get Andie or something. I still barely even knew who she was. I was pretty sure that Damon was just biding his time with her in case Elena ever actually wanted to be with him.

I decided that I needed to get a drink and find my girlfriend, not necessarily in that order. I ended up finding her holding a bottle of vodka in her hand, so that basically covered both of them.

"God, I feel so hungry being around all of these people." She commented. Now that she mentioned it, I felt my bloodlust growing.

"I need some of that." I declared. She handed the bottle to me. "So, Elena's in love with Damon."

"What makes you think that?" She asked.

"I saw the way that she looked at him when he gave her the necklace back." I replied as I noticed that Caroline was compelling away some girl that Tyler had brought to the party with him. He looked confused. "Also, it looks like Caroline is in love with Tyler."

"That I can believe." She declared as Caroline walked off. "So why is Matt smoking with Jeremy?"

I had a bit of an idea why Jeremy was. Sheriff Forbes had accidentally shot him when trying to shoot Damon and Bonnie had to bring him back to life. There was also the fact that his aunt had been killed and he and Elena were basically having to take care of themselves.

"So have you ever thought about what you would be if you weren't a vampire?" I asked. I wanted to know what it would be like if I got the chance to take her back with me.

"I don't know what I'd want to do." She admitted. "I've lived for so long, I haven't ever thought what it would be like to just settle down. I might be a writer or something or maybe even an actor, I've done a little bit of both."

"Faith, there's something that you need to see up here." Elena told me as she took me to Damon's room. There was a whiteboard in the middle of the floor.

"What is that?" I asked.

"It's every lead that we've been giving Damon all summer." She explained.

"He's been looking for him without us." I realized. I couldn't help but feel kind of hurt.

We decided to wait in Damon's room for him to come back. I noticed that he didn't have Andie with him, but I was too angry at him to really care why.

"When were you going to tell us about this?" I asked.

"I don't wanna do this right now." He replied.

"Damon, I can't believe that you've been hiding this from us." I continued. I couldn't remember the last time I was so angry. "How can you be keeping track of Klaus's victims without telling either of us?"

"Because they're not Klaus's victims." He answered. "They are Stefan's."

"What?" Elena asked.

"Stefan has flipped the switch and he's killing people." He explained. "I just got back from him killing my girlfriend."

"No, Stefan wouldn't do that." Elena argued.

"He would and he did." Damon replied. "The Stefan that we know is gone."

At that point, Damon began to take everything off of the board and then knocked the board down.

"Get out of here!" He commanded.

I knew that I would need to talk to him later. I felt like I needed some more to drink. So, I drank and drank and drank until the world started to spin.

"You shouldn't let what Damon says deter you." Anna told me. "If you want to find Stefan, you should keep at it."

"What's the point?" I questioned. "If Stefan is all different now, is it even worth it to bring him back?"

"Yes, it is because you love him." She explained. "Maybe you should go to bed right now and we can look for him again in the morning."

I nodded as we headed up to our room. We began to get changed for bed. I decided that I wanted to take a shower first. As I was bathing, I realized that I couldn't give up. I had promised that I would get Stefan back and I was going to live up to that promise. I didn't care how long it took.

I got out of the shower and wrapped myself in a towel. Anna was busy brushing teeth so I headed back to the room. It was at that moment that I got a text.

"He called me." It read. It was from Elena. I tried to think of who she was talking about. Stefan?

So welcome to A New Direction. First we have a new character in Lima played by Alexandra Chando. Will she come along for the ride? Also Faith and Elena are looking for Stefan? Please don't forget to review.
