This is my first story…so I know it's not the greatest…but I still hope you enjoy

Elena's POV

I was sleeping late morning in my bed, soon to open my eyes to a bright light. I squinted and saw the curtains being opened by someone, I sat up and propped myself up on my elbows. I saw him turn his head to me when I saw I was awake.
"Wakey wakey." Damon said with a small smirk appearing on his face. I couldn't help but groan and lay back down, closing my eyes. "Why are you in here?" I mumbled into my blanket. I sprawled my arms our across the bed, hoping to feel Stefan's body beside me, but of course, I knew he wouldn't be there. All I've wanted was to be in his strong, soothing arms once again. But that's what I've been hoping for, for the past week or two.
I felt a warm breath on the back of my neck, that sent shivers down my spine, then I heard something being whispered directly into my ear. "I know some very interesting information…if you'd like to know it." I sat bolt right up. I knew it had to be about where Stefan could be, or how to get him back here. Ever since Klaus took him, Damon and I have been searching non-stop for him. But he seem no where to be found. I looked at him, hopeful. "Stefan?" Was all I could say at the moment.

Damon's POV

I couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction. I just nodded. "Come downstairs. And I'll show you." I slightly smirked at her before turning around and start heading downstairs. I stopped walking when I heard her call my name. I spun around halfway to look at her. "Yes…Elena?" I turned around fully, waiting for her to respond. I soon her her say, "Damon…." I heard her sigh and then look down, playing with the edge of the blanket. "We…" I saw tears forming in her eyes. "We aren't going to find him Damon..." She looked up at me, a single tear rolling down her cheek. I hated seeing her like this. I would do anything to get my brother back. For her. Just for her. So I could see that smiling face again. Her eyes dancing, it didn't matter that she wouldn't even bother to look at me again, just that she was happy.
I walked slowly over to her, sat on the edge of her bed. I didn't want to lie to her, say that everything was going to be ok; there was doubt that we were going to find him. But I couldn't say that…that wasn't the truth. I just sat there, not knowing what to say, how to respond. And with that, her face fell. She was expecting me to re assure her, that Stefan would be back by her side soon.
"Stefan…" I softly sighed. "You know I'm doing anything I can do get him back Elena. I think I have a lead on where he might be. And I'm hoping just as much as you are that he will be back soon." I stood up and walked out of the room and headed downstairs, not wanting to hear what else she had to say, I sat on the couch in the living room, waiting for her to come down and head out for yet another day…of looking for Stefan.

Elena's POV

I opened my mouth to say something, when I looked and saw he disappeared. I slowly uncovered the blanket from my body, and stood up. Still not quite awake, stretching and yawning, I walked into the bathroom I shared with my little brother, Jeremy. I took my time, brushing my teeth, then soon after, taking a nice, long, warm shower, filling my body with warmth. It comforted me.

Eventually I got out, drying myself off, I walked back into my room in order to get dressed, and I gasped as I saw Damon sitting on my bed. "Damon! Get out!" I said, wrapping the towel tightly around me. I saw the normal, cocky smirk crawl onto his lips. "Aw, come on Elena! I got bored…you take to long." He said as his trailed up and down my body, his hand behind his head, leaning back, making himself comfortable. I couldn't help but glare at him. I pointed to the door. "Then I'll be downstairs in a minute." I said to him. "But can't I just stay up here?" This made me even angrier. "Damon!" At this, he held his hands up in surrender, stood up and started to walk out the door. Once he was out, I slammed the door behind him, sighed in annoyance and started getting dressed.

I wore me normal, long sleeved, dark purple blouse, with long black bottoms. I brushed my thoroughly, getting out all the knots, letting my hair air dry. I started to hum my favorite tune, when I started to lightly sing to myself as I brushed my hair, starting to relax slightly. I opened the door and paused right outside the door as I saw Damon. Realized he was listening to me, I walked past him, saying as I walked away. "Can't I have any privacy?"

Damon's POV

I saw her walk out of the room as I leaned against the railing, I smirked, seeing her walk away. "But you have such a beautiful voice. It suits you." I turned around and followed her down the stairs. "Let's just go…" She said as she put on her jacket and picked up her phone from the counter. She quickly walked outside without another word. I followed her, already ready, with my white T-shirt, black, Armani jacket, and jeans, I got in the car, Elena already in the passenger seat.

Starting up the car, I looked over at Elena, her arms crossed, looking somewhat angry. I drove and glanced over at her. "Are you seriously angry at me…for listening to your amazing singing?" I saw a small smile creep to her lips. "I wouldn't say that...I'm angry…" I grinned. I knew she couldn't stay mad at me, she never does. I caught her glancing over at me from the corner of her eyes, smiling. I didn't look back, just smiled to myself and continued driving. "Wait…where are we going?" Elena asked me as she turned and looked at me.

As I slightly shrugged I said. "Well…I figured we'd head to North Carolina." She looked at me a moment before saying. "You just….figured we should head to North Carolina? For no reason….just go and ha-"I cut her off mid sentence and said. "No…I figured we'd go to North Carolina because I have a slight feeling Stefan might be there. Why else?" She just looked at me. "Why would you think he was there…?" She asked me questionably.
"Have you heard of the news?" I glanced over at her and saw her confused face. I sighed as she didn't get it. "There have been several murders around Raleigh." I put air quotes around "murders". "Lots of deaths…bodies drained of blood…didn't exactly take Sherlock Holmes to figure it out." She just slowly nodded, not wanting to hear her boyfriend's been killing. She already knew it; she just didn't want to hear it. Elena slowly slumped down in her seat, staring out the window, watching the trees quickly pass by. Although I could tell she was smiling. She was happy to have at least the smallest lead on where Stefan might be. We haven't had any clue until now.

I kept driving; we haven't said anything to each other in miles and miles. Until I eventually said, "You know…" I looked over at her. "I have a good feeling he's there Elena. Let's try and be positive." I slightly smiles, pumping a fist in the air. A small smile crept onto her lips. Elena didn't say anything for a few seconds. "I guess your right…being negative won't help anything." I nodded. "That's the spirit!"

I smirked and continued driving. We soon arrived in Raleigh. "We are here." I said in a sing-song voice. She immediately opened the door and got out of the car. I took the keys out of the ignition and hopped out of the car as well. Walking to the front of the car, where Elena was headed as well. She was already there when I got there. I saw her arms folded, staring at me. "So…now what?" "I would suggest to…hmm..." I pretended to think. "Start looking?" I looked at her a moment before walking off. She trailed behind a minute before I slowed down, allowing her to catch up.

"We cant just wander around the city, hoping to catch sight of Stefan. We aren't even sure he's here." She looked at me. "Eh, eh, eh." I told her, wagging my finger. "Remember…positive…he IS here." I said the word is with emphasis. I heard her sigh and I smirked.

"Alright…I'm going to go around, asking people if they know any information about who the killer might be. And if they don't, ill go straight to the police, getting the status, the suspects, who got killed….etc." She looked at me as if I were crazy. "You cant just go to the police Damon! They aren't going to give you anything about it. Why would they give out files to random people wandering the streets?" I rolled my eyes. You should know me by now Elena. I don't ask…I demand." I looked at her. "As in, mind compulsion?" She asked. I clapped my hands. "How wonderful! Elena figured it out! Let's give her a gold star!" I said with a smirk. Then I felt her punch me playfully in the arm.

We just kept walking until we ran into a club in the middle of town. "There's got to be people in there that knows something…" I mumbled to myself as I walked inside.

Elena's POV

I saw him start to casually stroll into the club as I followed behind. As soon as I entered after him, I heard a loud, booming from inside, I looked around at all of the people dancing and drinking. Damon stopped not right at the entrance, but a few feet in, staring at something. I stepped beside him, trying to see what it was that he was so interested in. As soon as I realized what it was, I sighed and walked away. He was still looking at, what other than, the stripper of the club. She had long, blond hair, her curls bouncing a she danced. I sat down at one of the tables, holding my head. I looked back and saw Damon start to walk around, talking to different people.

I looked up and couldn't believe my eyes. I could have sworn I saw…I shook my head. Its not…I just kept staring at him. He was talking to a woman. She had long brown hair to almost her waist. By the way they looked at each other; I could definitely tell they were flirting. I slowly got up from my chair, and walked cautiously over to the couple. I thought it was an illusion, or my mind playing tricks on me. Could I really be this…lucky? Would I call it luck? I stood next to them, my eyes focused on the guy, staring at him in disbelief. All I could say was, "Stefan?"
