We ran out of the house as quickly as we had come, splitting off into different directions, with me running towards Bonnie's house. I got there a few seconds later and rang the doorbell several times before she answered the door.

"Damon, what's going on?" Bonnie asked.

"Elena's gone. The werewolves are back; I think they may have taken her," I said.

"Bonnie, what's going on? Damon, why are you here?" asked Caroline as she speed to the door.

"Elena's missing," Bonnie shrieked. We were out the door again very quickly, with Bonnie on my back (witches can't run as fast as we can, obviously). We ran all around town, so fast that nobody could see us and slow enough that we could see Elena if she happened to pop up. After hours of searching, we met in the woods near the place where the wolves had last made camp.

"Any sign of her?" I asked, putting Bonnie on the ground.

"I haven't been able to sense her at all," worried Bonnie.

"We didn't find anything, and we looked everywhere!" cried Caroline.

"Everybody shut up for a second! I smell something," shouted Katherine. Her nose turned to the wind, and she was off like a flash to the left of us. We all ran after her; but it wasn't long before we stopped. Katherine had found what she had been looking for.

"Guys! You better see this!" Katherine shouted.

We all ran over to see what Katherine was looking at, and as soon as they saw it, Bonnie and Caroline screamed. Laying on the ground, covered in blood and huge gashes, was Elena. I ran to her, picked up her deathly white and limp form, and started to run.

"Where are you taking her? Just give her some blood!" shouted Bonnie.

"NO! If she dies, then she'll be one of us. I don't want that for her yet;" I shouted, and when I was finished, I felt someone hit me very hard. Elena went flying; and Katherine caught her, biting her own wrist before she caught Elena, and forcing her wrist to Elena's mouth.

"NO!" I shouted, rushing at Katherine and taking Elena from her. Elena's wounds were healing , but not at the pace that I expected.

"Get her to the hospital!" shouted Caroline, and I began to run.

We arrived at Mystic Falls Hospital just a minute later, and I walked quickly into the emergency room. Sheriff Forbes was there already, presumably just to make sure that nobody else had come in with a case of 'animal attack'. She ran over to us and cradled Elena's head.

"What happened?" she asked.

"We found her in the woods like this. But this is no animal attack, these are knife marks," I said, letting nurses and doctors take her from me and bring her to the operating room. Sheriff Forbes went to the phones, presumably to call Elena's Aunt Jenna to tell her what had happened.

3 hours and many cups of coffee later, a doctor came in to the waiting room with a clipboard. I awoke immediately, waking up Stefan, Caroline, Katherine, Bonnie, Jenna, and Jeremy. I got up and walked briskly to the doctor.

"What is it? Is Elena ok?" I asked.

"She's in a coma right now, and she has lost a lot of blood. We will do what we can, but I can't promise anything. She was very badly injured," the doctor pated my shoulder, and left the waiting room. I was furious; Elena was not going to die on me, and the werewolves were not going to get away with this. I started to walk towards the door, but Katherine and Stefan caught me before I managed to escape.

"Where are you going, Damon?" asked Stefan.

"I'm going to make those goddamn wolves pay for what they did to Elena," I fumed.

"You're going to need our help if you want to do that," Katherine said.

"Then let's go!" Caroline shouted, and before I knew it, we were out of the hospital and sniffing out the wolves. We ran and ran, our noses to the ground trying to find the wolves. Soon enough, we did exactly what we set out for.

"Hello, boys. Looking for us?" asked Jules, the werewolf bitch that had killed Rose. Tyler stepped out from just behind her, along with several other wolves.

"Why did you hurt Elena?" shouted Katherine.

"Really? You have to ask that question?" Tyler asked.

"You killed our brothers! Isn't that reason enough? We thought we'd take what you cared about most and destroy it too," shouted another wolf, one that we did not know.

I lunged at them, ripping in to one of their throats, and the battle began.
