Chapter Two

"Well, well, well, look what we have here. So tell me, what is just so interesting, that has caused the grief written on all of your faces? Oh wait, don't tell me, let me guess: Elena.", Katherine spoke with an evil smirk pasted on her face.

"What the hell do you know about this you manipulative bitch?", Damon growled.

"Now, now, Damon, don't think using that tone of voice will get you anywhere. Besides, why should we focus on Elena, now that the better "version" of the two of us is here? Now that she's out of the picture, the three of us can all go back to the way we were.", Katherine replied.

"Stop avoiding the subject. I'd rather die again than go back to the way we were", Damon mocked.

"What Damon's trying to say, is could you just tell us what you know about Elena.", Stefan intervened.

"No, what I meant was what I meant. There's no way in hell I would spend the rest of my eternity with that evil bitch", Damon rolled his eyes.

"Fine, be that way Damon, for your information I always like Stefan better. He's always been my favorite. How does that feel hmm? Being second best to everyone get tiring sometimes doesn't it?" Katherine mocked.

"Anyways, I'll just come back another time since everyone is worried about that pathetic girl " Katherine spoke with irritation.

"Until next time"

And with that, she disappeared into the night with a sickly smile pasted to her face.

Nobody's POV

"Dude, let me just tell you, your ex-girlfriend is a total bitch." Jeremy spoke, trying to break the tension.

"Nobody asked you" Damon snapped. "Besides, we have bigger things to worry about; You sister is gone and we have no idea where she is."

"Maybe I could try doing a locater spell" Bonnie suggested.

"You couldn't have told us that sooner" Damon stated clearly annoyed.

"Do you want me to do it or not?" Bonnie snapped

"Go ahead. Give it a shot. This is Elena we are talking about, I'm willing to try anything." Damon spoke nonchalantly.

"Fine. First I need something that belongs to her, or has a strong connection to her." Bonnie replied

"We can use my blood. Even though I'm not her real brother, I'm still blood related to her." Jeremy offered.

"I don't think that's such a good idea. I think it's best that you don't get involved Jeremy. Elena wouldn't want that for you." Stefan stated.

"Look I don't care what she wants. She's missing and I want to help out. I can't just sit here a do nothing!" Jeremy argued.

"Whatever, just slice open your hand and give us your blood Jeremy" Damon stated impatiently.

Bonnie handed Jeremy a pocket knife. He sliced his open just enough to extract a couple drops of blood onto a map. Bonnie started to chant. The lights flickered on and off. Everyone anticipated for the drops of blood to move.

"The spell.." Bonnie gasped. "It's not working!"

"What the hell do you mean it 's not working" Damon snapped.

"It just... It just won't work" Bonnie spoke desperately.

"I'm sorry Damon, but I don't think we can find her." Bonnie sighed defeated.

"No there has to be another way!" Damon growled.

(A few months later)

"Damon, you have to give up. She doesn't want to be found." Stefan spoke. He had been trying to convince his brother to stop searching for Elena, but had been unsuccessful in the past.

"I'll stop searching for her. But that doesn't mean I'm giving up on her. I'll wait for her for eternity if I have to. " Damon determinedly replied. "Because she's worth it" He softly spoke.

It had been months since Elena disappeared. After Bonnie' had performed the failed location spell, they all decided it would be best to respect Elena's wish on not wanting to be found. They started to move along with their lives. Except Damon. He's been searching every day since she'd gone missing. He searched everywhere. He wouldn't give up on her.

Katherine had shown up a few days later after her first appearance claiming that she knew nothing of Elena's sudden disappearance and that all she wanted was Stefan. It took weeks before Stefan caved in. Now Stefan and Katherine were dating and it made Damon sick. Damon just couldn't come to the term of how Stefan could just forget Elena and move on to Katherine. But he wouldn't move on. He couldn't forget. He'd be willing to wait forever for her.

AN:

Okay, so basically to clear up any confusion (if any): Everyone tries to find Elena, but they are unsuccessful. After many attemps, they eventually give up on her return, exept for Damon. And yes, I paired up Stefan and Katherine. I personally believe that they do (in some very strange way) balance each other out, just like how Damon and Elena balance out each other.

Again, I just wanted to thank all of you for favoriting and putting a story alert on my ficlet. Please Review I like to read your feed back :)
