Stefan rushed into Elena's empty room, looking around the darkness for any sign of the brunette doppelganger. It was then when he spotted the note resting on her dresser. He walked over slowly and picked it up, his eyes scanning over the words.
"Dear Stefan, Damon, Aunt Jenna, Jeremy, Carebear, and Bonbon.
By the time you read this, You'll have realized that I'm long gone. I'm sorry to up and leave so suddenly, but I can't stand the thought of putting all of you in danger because of who I am. The truth is, I wouldn't be able to live with myself, Knowing I'm the reason one of you guys might have gotten hurt, or worse. Please don't try looking for me, and don't bother calling. I've changed my number and possibly might change my name as well. I just want you all to know that I love you dearly, and yes, even you Damon. I'm sorry I had to end it this way.
-Elena 3"
"She's gone…" He muttered, looking over at Damon, who was now standing in the door.
"No she's not, because we're going to find her. It's not safe for her to be out there alone." Damon shook his head.
"What about the others?" Stefan tucked the note away into the pocket of his jacket.
"You worry about that. I'm going to go and find her." In a flash, Damon was gone.
Stefan stood there in the dark, his mind reeling over the note he had just read. Elena had finally cracked, and he knew it. How he was going to keep everyone calm and under wraps though, that was something he didn't know. A silent shuffle brought his eyes back to the door, where Jenna now stood.
"…Where's Elena?"
This was going to be a lot harder then he thought.
