"Damon? What the hell just happened?"
"Barbie and Ken beat our asses, that's what happened."
"Ok, well we still have to find them!"
An idea popped into Damon's head. One that disturbed a little to think of, but he knew was inevitable.
"What dorm number is Caroline?" Damon asked.
"614- Wait do you think they…?" Elena asked, raising her eyebrows up and down, suggesting the couple had done the deed. Damon nodded slightly.
"Well- lets go find out."
Damon and Elena made their way up to the sixth floor of the dorm building and paused once they reached the fourteenth room. The couple paused as Damon kicked open the door to find the room silent, motionless and clean- it was Caroline's room after all. The only thing that was on the floor were the sheets and two pillows left over from Stefan and Caroline's night before. Little did Damon know that the night before had continued into the morning, but the couple fled once they heard Damon and Elena wake up.
"What's the verdict?" Elena asked, standing in the doorway.
"Sex- yes. Are they here- no."
"Great! Now we have two emotionless vampires on the loose who we have no chance of catching."
"Elena, it's fine they'll come back to Mystic Falls eventually, and we'll get them back. I promise."
Elena smiled at her boyfriend as they walked out of the College and back to their car to head home.

"Mmm, that wasn't terrible." Caroline spoke as Stefan worked his kisses down to her right shoulder and her arm.
"Good thing we got this hotel when we did though- Damon and Elena would have caught us, then we would have had to explain everything, maybe even snap their necks again- god, you know that really would have been a pain-"
Caroline was cut off by Stefan attacking her lips once more with a hard kiss before pulling away.
"Less talking. More of this." Stefan said as he kissed her harder and ran his fingers through her hair.
She kissed him back before saying, "We need to go back to Mystic Falls."
Stefan stopped what he was doing and looked her in the eyes. "No," he spoke.
"I don't want to have to explain everything to everyone. All they're going to want to do anyways is make us flip our humanity on again."
"If they try anything, I'll rip their heads off." Caroline said as she saw a slight smile grow on Stefan's face.
"Now do we have a deal?"
"Fine." He spoke as he buried his face back into Caroline's neck and finished off the most outstanding sex he had ever had.
Within an hour, Caroline and Stefan were packing the car and began their drive back to their home town.

Damon and Elena arrived back at home and walked into the Salvatore house to find an unexpected surprise. Kai was sitting on the Salvatore couch. Elena couldn't help but be a little happy that Kai was there…she didn't know why. He was a psychopath and she knew that.
"What the hell are you doing on my couch?" Damon asked threateningly.
Kai turned his attention towards his vampire enemy and his girlfriend in the doorway. There was something about Elena that Kai couldn't quite piece together. Something he enjoyed about the way she looked at him like he could be better. Even though he didn't know if he wanted to be better, the feeling she sparked in him made him wonder if changing for the better would be worth giving a try. He was snapped out of his thoughts when Damon sped up to him, about to snap his neck.
Kai laughed and rolled his eyes as he flicked his fingers, making Damon slam to the ground. Elena looked alarmed as Kai began stepping towards her with a mischievous smile on his face, analyzing her from top to bottom.
"Why are you here?" Elena asked.
"Oh, you know. Just to look around at all the prized posessions of the Salvatore household. There's one standing in front of me in the doorway. To be honest she's looking at me a little too much- maybe I should blow my rape whistle. Stranger danger and all."
Elena rolled her eyes. "What do you want, Kai?"
"Oh, my work here is actually finished."
Elena took a small step back and swallowed hard as he stood over her and spoke,
"By the way, when your boyfriend wakes up…" his speech moved to a whisper as he moved his face just inches from hers.
"You probably shouldn't mention how you just checked me out."
Elena looked down and closed the door behind Kai as he walked out of the Salvatore house whistling, as if he had just accomplished some major task. She couldn't figure out what that task was…but she knew there was a new feeling inside her that she wouldn't be able to shake.

Damon awoke to the feeling of his phone buzzing in his back pocket. He looked around, stretched his neck and swore to himself that the second he could stand again without falling over, he would strangle Kai Parker. His anger was soothed once he saw the caller I.D on his phone. It was Bonnie. Shocked by the fact that she would even want to speak to him, he answered the phone immediately.
"Hey Bon-Bon. Is everything ok?"
"Damon I need you to come to my house-now."
Alarmed, Damon sat up, looked around and shook Elena from her deep sleep on the couch.
"Bonnie, what's going on?" Damon asked worriedly.
"I didn't know who else to call."
"Just tell me what's going on Bonnie!" Damon spoke sternly. He was shocked by how protective he was feeling of her in that instant. But that didn't matter- he just knew he had to get to her.
"Something's wrong, Damon- remember the suicide bourbon from 1994 that we said we would drink if we ever just wanted to give up and end it all? I just found it on my doorstep with a note- from Silas."
Stunned by the information, both Damon and Elena knew that they had a bigger problem than Stefan and Caroline right now. Silas was back, meaning Bonnie was in more danger than ever.
"We'll be right over."
"We?" Bonnie asked curiously.
"Yeah, I'm bringing Elena too."
"Um- Damon is it ok if you just come? Don't get me wrong, Elena's my best friend but only you know what I went through in the prison world and I need someone who understands me right now. I don't think Elena would be able to help much."
"Of course."
Damon couldn't help but let out a faint smile at Bonnie's request to spend time alone with him. Ever since he had spent months with Bonnie alone in a world where they only had each other to keep them company, Damon learned more about Bonnie than he had known before, and he learned more about himself. Sure, Elena made him happy and made him feel like a better man, but something told him Bonnie was the best influence on him. She didn't only make him feel like a better man, but she forced him to face his fears, gain confidence in the fact that he can be who he wanted to be, and he knew deep down that she was the healthiest, best influence on him. He felt a little guilty that he was feeling these things when he was still with Elena, but the truth was ever since she completely erased everything she had ever felt for him, things hadn't been the same. He never would have forgotten every memory of her just to escape pain. He never would have given into the grief and let himself erase an entire chapter of his life. Things were different now. Elena was different. And now Damon was turning into something different too- maybe even something better than before.
"I'm on my way."
