A/N: Alright, not a very long chapter but the story itself isn't too long, so here's the next installment! I can't say it was easy finding a way to locate Elena without Bonnie's magic but soon you'll see what happens. Thanks to all the follows, favorites, and reviews that kept blowing up my phone last night and this morning. I'll keep posting the chapters today as I have time and hopefully the last one will be up today!

Damon slowly stirred in his sleep. Remembering where he was and who he was with, he suddenly felt the lack of warmth next to him. Quickly flashing his eyes open, he saw that Elena wasn't lying next to him. He sat up, looking down towards the beach. "Elena?" he called out, hoping to catch her attention from wherever she had disappeared to. No reply. "Elena?" he called again, this time louder and considerably more worried. He was on his feet in an instant, walking down towards the surf to see if there was any sign of her, but all he found as he walked down the beach was a good amount of seashells strewn about the sand along with a spring loaded syringe. He felt as if his heart dropped down into his stomach as he pricked his finger with the tip of the syringe, noting that it had once held vervain. In a flash he had scooped up their things on the beach and took off towards his car.

'Dammit,' he thought to himself as he threw the beach bag and the sandy towels in the trunk of his car. He dug through the bag and unhappily realized Elena's cell phone was still in the beach bag, which didn't' help him at all in his new effort to find his girlfriend. 'Think Damon, think! How are you going to find her?' he thought to himself over and over again as he paced along the side of his car, not yet knowing where to go to even begin his search. 'Bonnie! She can do a locator spell to find her!' Damon's chest suddenly began to rise and fall quickly with his excited breaths from his new found hope of finding Elena. He reached for his cell phone and dialed Bonnie several times, but not once did she answer. He finally gave up on her answering and immediately dialed Jeremy next, thinking he would surely be able to get a hold of Bonnie. After three rings Jeremy answered.

"Hello?" he said, surely confused as to why Damon was calling him when he figured he and Elena would be busy enjoying their trip.

"Jeremy, don't panic, but I need you to get a hold of Bonnie, and fast. Someone's taken Elena and I need Bonnie to do a locator spell so I can find her." Damon almost spit the words out too fast as Jeremy just barely understood him.

"What!" Jeremy exclaimed. "Who took her, Damon? Where you not there? How…" but he was cut off by Damon's urgent growl .

"Jeremy, questions later please. I don't have time for this right now. Just get a hold of Bonnie for me and call me right back!" Damon's tone was harsh as he hung up the phone. He was frustrated enough that this had happened right under his nose without Jeremy asking questions about it. 'Elena, I swear I'll find you,' Damon thought to himself fiercely as he hopped in his car and made his way into the little town they had been staying in. There had to be a lead somewhere he could follow, and if there was, he was going to find it.

Jeremy however was still reeling back at the boarding house. He was the only one who knew that Bonnie couldn't possibly be of help to them because, well, Bonnie had died trying to bring him back and he was pretty sure she couldn't do magic from the other side. She hadn't had the heart to let him tell her friends this. Instead she had him tell them she was out of town for the summer. Ever since then he had been the one replying to her friends' emails and messages when he could, pretending to be her to keep the lie alive. Bonnie knew it wasn't right, but she just didn't want to bring any more unhappiness and grief into their lives and with Jeremy able to see and talk to her she had clung to him knowing at least she could have some kind of communication with the world she truly wished to be in.

Jeremy wracked his brains, trying to think of something he could do. He couldn't call Damon back up and drop the "Bonnie's dead" bomb on him at a time like this. His sister was missing, likely kidnapped, and there had to be something he could do. At that moment Bonnie appeared to him.

"Bonnie!" Jeremy exclaimed. "Someone has kidnapped Elena! We have to find a way to find her but I don't know what we can do. Without your magic, I don't know how we can find her and Damon is waiting on me to get a hold of you but I don't know what to tell him."

"Jeremy, there's nothing I can do from here. I don't have my magic here! What are we going to do?" Bonnie replied, not sure herself what to do.

"Is there anyone you know I could contact? Maybe there's another witch that could help us?" Jeremy thought, hoping that maybe there was another way to access some magic.

"Not that I know of, and I don't know how I could get anyone I know to help if I can't talk to them Jer," Bonnie sighed. She and Jeremy were both very worried about Elena but just didn't know what they could do. They were both silent for a few moments, lost in their thoughts, hoping to reach out and stumble upon an answer to this serious problem. Jeremy's phone buzzed in his hand and as he looked down he noticed a text message from Damon that read, "What's with the delay? Following a lead. When you get the information text it."

"Look Bonnie," Jeremy said as he showed her the message.

"Maybe he'll be able to find her without magic," Bonnie said, still worried but slightly hopeful after the new information.

"I don't know," Jeremy replied. "I just can't sit here knowing my sister is missing. I've gotta go help. Maybe I can help him find her. They're only an hour or so away. I've gotta go help!" And with that Jeremy jumped up and grabbed the keys to Elena's car which was sitting in the driveway. Bonnie followed him and they both set out to meet up with Damon.

A/N: Keep hanging on! The next chapter is shorter but sets us up for chapter 5, which is my favorite so it should be interesting. :) I love reviews, good or bad, so keep 'em coming and I'll try to reply to them as I see them while I'm editing!
