Chapter 2
Finding her
Two years and five months earlier
Stefan had arrived back at Fells Church with a loss of hope. He hadn't been able to find the kitsune that would be able to give him his humanity back. He opened the door to Mrs. Flower's house to find his brother on the couch. He looked like he hadn't showered or shaved in days. He had beer cans next to the couch and he was asleep. He was a mess. Stefan thought it was because he couldn't handle not being a vampire anymore. He was angry at his brother. He should be the one that had become human again. He walks over to his brother and kicks his leg.
"Damon wake up!" Damon groans, opens his eyes, sees Stefan and then closes them again.
"Go away." He mumbles.
"Damon get up!" he says fiercely. "Get over yourself, deal with it, and get up!" He opens his blood shot eyes and glares at his brother.
"She left." He says. Stefan looks confused.
"Who?" Damon glares at him harder.
"Elena, you idiot. Who else?" Stefan looks shocked.
"She left? To go where?" Damon shrugs and takes a swig of the beer on the coffee table. Stefan grabbed the beer from his hand and through it against the wall and then grabbed his brother and shoved him against the wall.
"Where?" He growls. Damon laughs bitterly.
"If I knew she would be back here." He pushes his brother harder against the wall. Damon winces.
"What did you do?" Damon looks away sadly and shrugs. Stefan lets go of his pathetic brother and drives over to Bonnie's place. He knocks on the door loudly.
"Bonnie!" he yells out. Bonnie opens the door.
"Stefan." She says relieved, hugging him. He hugs her back and then pulls her away from him.
"Where's Elena?" Bonnie looks away.
"I don't know. She wouldn't tell us. She didn't even want Damon to know she left. She left a message for you though." Bonnie went inside of the house and grabbed a rumpled envelope.
"I hope this gives you the answers you're looking for."
"Thank you, Bonnie." He says sincerely. When Stefan had gotten back to the boarding house he noticed Damon had cleaned out the living room. He was most likely brooding in his room. Stefan lay on the bed to read the note. It still smelled of her. He opened the envelope eagerly.
Dear Stefan,
I have left Fells Church and do not plan on ever coming back. I have caused enough problems in your life. You and Damon need to reconcile, with me out of the picture it will be easier. You know your brother likes me and with us being together you will never have a proper relationship with him. Don't come looking for me. I do not want to see you. I have found someone else.
Goodbye
Elena
Stefan's head reeled. He scrunched up the envelope in anger and through it across the room. She did this so my brother and I could reconcile? That was foolish. He couldn't believe she could just move on from him that quickly. He had thought it was love. He came to the conclusion that she was lying. He lay on his bed with his eyes closed and concentrated on her heartbeat. He found it quick enough. He changed his form into a bird and flew towards the sound of her beating heart. He perched himself on a tree branch when he saw Elena's form in the streets. When she turned around he was in for a surprise of a lifetime. She looked at least six months pregnant. He knew it wasn't because of him because they had never done anything and even if they did vampires couldn't have children. She turned around to a man.
"Josh." He heard her say.
"You're early." He smiled at her and she smiled back. She hadn't lied in her letter, she had found someone else. He was heartbroken. He felt like his heart would shatter in a million pieces in that moment. He was happy that she could have a normal life with her child and husband. He had always insisted that she should leave him to have a normal life. He took off back towards the boarding house. He wouldn't tell Damon, he couldn't.
Six months earlier
Damon had cleaned up his act after Stefan had gotten back. He knew that when he died his soul would still go to Hell for all the lives he took, but he wanted to make the world a better place now. He had enrolled in a college to become a firefighter. He had faked his school records, of course, to get in. He had just graduated and it was his first time going to a scene. He had never gotten over Elena but he had finally gotten over himself. His relationship with his brother was a little better, but still strained. His brother looked heartbroken when he had learned Elena left but took it better than he had. He was surprised his brother hadn't found her yet. He opened the doors to the fire truck and ran to the car and the victim in it. After cutting the roof off of the car, with his colleagues, they helped her into the gurney and brought her inside of the ambulance.
"You did good rookie." The chief slapped him on the back. Damon smiled and went back inside of the fire truck.
One week earlier
The demons had found the whereabouts of one Elena Gilbert and her daughter. The child was very powerful; they could feel it. She was the first of her kind; the child of two people that used to be vampires. It was rare that vampires were ever turned human again, let alone live that long afterwards and then procreate. They usually thought they were still invincible and would get killed soon after. Her mother and father were very powerful too. It was the good kind of power, the kind of power that could get them all killed. There plan was to scare the woman to run to the child's father and then kill them all together. Of course they had to have fun with it too. The demons smile evilly at each other. They were just waiting for the right moment.
Okay, a little cheesy I know. Anyway, I love reviews, so please review. 'Till next time.
