It feels great when you wake up and for a spit second you have no recollection of what has happened in your life. After that split second, you go back to reality and remember your living a crazy vampire life with many complications. Stuck with reality, I decide to get out of bed and realize its only 6 AM so I have enough time to get dressed and eat breakfast before heading out to the road to look for Stefan before Damon realizes I'm gone.
I finally finish breakfast and head to my car. I'm driving to a way to get to Portland according to my GPS, and just can't help thinking of what to say to Stefan if I do find him. What if I never find him-wait isn't that the SUV Damon was talking about, parked near the cliff. I park my car and get out to find its the same car Stefan and Damon own. I see the exact phone Stefan has on the car seat and decide to call him to see if its his and it is. I see my name on his phone and hang up. If this is his car, where is he? Where would he have gone without his phone and his bag with his clothes on the back of the car?
I turn around to see footsteps of mud leading to the end of the cliff. Oh my God, could Stefan be underwater. Before I could think, I jump in the water and swim further down to find a huge vault that could have Stefan locked up in. I swim towards it and try to carry it with me but its too heavy for me to carry. Not even my super vampire strength is strong enough, I needed help. I swim out of the water and walk back to my car to get my phone. Who should I call, I can't call Damon or else he'll get even angrier with me. Maybe Caroline and Tyler can help. I take my phone from the car seat and dial Caroline. She answers.
-"Elena, it's 7 in the morning, shouldn't you be sleeping?"
-"I think I found Stefan and I need your help."
-"Oh my God, where are you?"
-"I'm at some road called Willow's Creek. Please come as fast as you can and it would be great if you can bring Tyler too."
-"I'll be there in 30 minutes tops. See you in a bit."
-"Hey Caroline.."
-"Yes?"
-"Can you not mention anything about this to anyone besides Tyler please."
-"Of course."
-"Thanks. See you soon."
I hang up my phone and wait for Caroline and Tyler to arrive. In less than 20 minutes, Caroline finally arrives and rushes out of the car with Tyler. "Where's Stefan?", Caroline exclaims.
"I think he's underwater in a vault that's too heavy for me to carry alone so I need your help to get it on the surface.", I say.
"What are we waiting for then, Lets go!",Tyler says.
All 3 of us jump on the water and swim deeper and deeper until we find the vault. I could see Caroline and Tyler surprised faces so clearly when they saw the vault, both wishing Stefan might be there. On the count of three, we all used all of our strength and brought the vault to surface. I rip the locks and open the door to see Stefan unconscious inside surrounded by water. All I could to was cry, I could hear the gasps Tyler and Caroline gave out.
"We have to get him some blood immediately. We have to take him to the boarding house, Elena.", Tyler said with such concern.
I knew Damon would get frustrated but Stefan needed blood. "You're right, we need to take him now." I find Stefan's car keys on his pocket and decide to drive Stefan's car back home with Caroline while Tyler took my car with Stefan. I get in the car letting Tyler go before me. I knew Caroline wanted to say a lot so she just let it all out.
-"I can't believe you found Stefan. For a second I thought I was never going to see him again."
-"So did I, I'm so happy we found him. I'm just scared how Damon is going to react."
-"What do you mean, wouldn't Damon be so happy to see his brother?"
-"Yesterday when Damon and I were making out, I asked him why he didn't tell me Stefan left and he told me how he was jealous and how he was worried that Stefan could've ruined his relationship with me and I could sense how pissed Damon got when I mentioned Stefan. Also today I was gonna forgive him but now I think there's no chance of that happening. He's probably gonna avoid me after finding out how I woke up early and decided to go find Stefan alone."
-"Just look at the bright side, Stefan is back and if Damon avoids you, you will have someone who will be there for you and have a shoulder for you to cry on as a friend."
-"You're right and Damon will eventually have the guts to talk to me."
-"Everything is going to be alright, Elena. In the meantime, we just need to get Stefan some blood and home."
Caroline was right. Damon will understand eventually. After a few minutes of driving, we finally reach the boarding house and get Stefan inside the house in his bed. Caroline and Tyler run down downstairs to get some blood while I stay in the room with him, hoping he will turn conscious with the blood. Thankfully, Damon is a deep sleeper. Caroline and Tyler finally get the blood and pass it to me and I squirt it into his mouth. With just a few drops of blood, Stefan begins to open his eyes, gasps for air, and gets ahold of the bag while I tell him its going to be okay. Caroline and Tyler decide to go downstairs and let him be alone with me. I stroke his face continuing to tell him it's going to be ok while tears fall gently on my cheek. Stefan finishes up the blood bag and grabs ahold of my hand and whispers, "Elena, is that you?"
Wiping my tears, I reply,"Yes Stefan it's me. Don't worry it's going to be okay, you're home in your bed. It's all ok, you're no longer trapped anymore. I'm here don't worry."
"Elena...I'm so glad you're here.", he says.
-"I am too, Caroline and Tyler are here too, they helped me get you out of the vault."
-"Where's Damon?"
-"He's sleeping, I've been so worry about you, I had to idea where you were going. Luckily I found your car and called Caroline and Tyler for help."
-"Thank you."
-"You're welcome, what happened with you?"
-"I'll tell you later. I rather tell you at another time. I'm just going to get up and thank Caroline and Tyler for what they did and then say hi to Damon."
-"Ok, let's go downstairs and make you some breakfast too."
-"Alright then.", Stefan said with a smile.
Stefan got out of the bed and before he walked out the door and ran to him and hugged him so tight. I didn't want to let go. I couldn't help crying so I just hid my face in his shoulder.
-"Don't cry, Elena."
He wiped the tears out of my cheeks as he lifted his head while I just gave him a smile.
-"Then don't let go."
He hold me tighter and leaned his head on my shoulder. We stayed like this for 10 minutes until I finally decided to let him go before he starved himself.
-"Lets get you some food on your empty stomach and let's not keep Caroline and Tyler waiting. Caroline is so excited to see you. She's missed you like crazy."
He gave out a soft laugh and grabbed ahold of my hand and we headed downstairs. Once we reached downstairs, he let go of my hand and Caroline screamed and ran over to Stefan and hugged him. Tyler flashed a smile and once Caroline let go of him after 3 minutes passed by, Tyler gave him a hug.
"It's great to see you again, man.", Tyler said with a smile.
"It's great to see you too Tyler.", Stefan replied with such cheerfulness.
I was so happy to see everyone happy but everything went silent once Damon walked downstairs .
"What the hell is going on?", Damon said with a surprised look on his face once he saw Stefan.
Shit! Now I have to explain everything and save my relationship from falling apart more. I seriously hope Damon will understand.
