Thanks for Reading my story, I've been a bit busy, but I do plan to get a chapter up each day, if not every second day! Xx

Chapter 3

Elena poured herself a cup of coffee as Stefan took a shower. She was still worried about Damon, he still hadn't come home, and every minute she grew more and more anxious. She still had a gut feeling that something was wrong, but she tried to dismiss it, she would have gone to check the Grill in town, to see if Damon was there, but she didn't want to come across as a worrywart.

She tied her hair in a bun, and looked at her in the mirror, her face looked haggard and tired, her life was full of stress, and it was getting to her. Maybe she needed a girl's day out. A day without all the drama that was in her life.

She pulled out her phone and dialled Bonnie's number. Elena couldn't remember the last time she had done something normal with Bonnie. She still felt bad that Bonnie had done so much for her, but she hadn't returned the favour. She was going to make it up to her. Elena drummed her fingers on the table, but Bonnie wasn't answering.

Elena sighed, putting her phone down. Stefan appeared from the bathroom.

"Hey Stefan, do you feel like going to the Grill for….breakfast?" she said.

Stefan sighed. "Your still worried about Damon aren't you?".

"Yeah I am" Elena admitted. Stefan looked at her, and sighed again.

"Okay let me just get changed and we'll go."

Elena and Stefan let the Boarding house and arrived in town, it was mid morning, and the town was already very busy. Stefan parked his car right out front of the grill. Caroline and Bonnie were seated outside. Elena saw them and ran over.

" Hey Bonnie! I called you, I was hoping we could catch up, why didn't you answer my call?" she said curiously.

Bonnie looked down for a minute and then looked at Elena

"I've been busy," was all she replied, before Caroline interrupted.

"OH! Elena, Stefan your welcome to join us!" She said oblivious to the situation.

But it was too late; Elena already started to walk away.

"That was really rude Bonnie, what's up with you today?" asked Caroline innocently.

"Nothing" Bonnie said, giving Caroline the cold shoulder.

Elena and Stefan entered the Grill, and Elena immediately started looking at the Bar, searching for Damon. He wasn't there. But Alaric was.

"Hey Alaric, have you seen Damon?"

"No, I haven't Elena, why? I'm sure he's just fooling around with some girl" he replied.

"Don't be like that, Alaric, he's your friend, and I know you're upset he killed you, but it was for your own good."

Alaric looked at Elena, who was still obviously upset that not even Damon's best friend cared where he was. Alaric could see she was saddened by his attitude. He sighed pushing his bourbon away.

"Do you think something's wrong with him?"

"Yes, I'm worried, and I don't know why." Elena admitted.

Alaric stood up from his stool. "Okay I'll help you."

Alaric, Stefan and Elena left the bar. As they stood outside they all scanned the Town Centre for any trace of Damon.

But there was no trace of him. "Lets split up, maybe will find him faster" Elena said. Stefan nodded and added "Alaric, can you go to the Town Hall and ask if Damon's there? He might be having a meeting with Sheriff Forbes."

Alaric agreed, and took off towards the Town Hall.

Stefan looked at Elena "okay, well where do we go from here Elena? He isn't answering his phone, maybe he just doesn't want to be found."

Elena shook her head, and took Stefan's hands in hers.
"Please Stefan I know something's wrong with him, otherwise I wouldn't be looking." Before reaching in for a hug.

As Elena hugged Stefan, an idea popped into her head.

What if he was at hospital?

Elena pulled away from Stefan's embrace.

"I think I have an idea where he is Stefan, the hospital collecting blood bags"

Stefan nodded.

Elena and Stefan arrived at the Hospital, and straight away they saw Damon's car parked awkwardly in a car space. Stefan and Elena jumped out of the car and raced over. "Damon?" Elena whispered eagerly before she caught the sight of the broken window, and the shattered glass all over the ground.

Stefan saw it first and rocked back on his heels.

"Elena, look the windows been broken." As he reached into the car to inspect it.

Elena ran around to the other side to inspect it.

Before Elena could make sense of the situation. Stefan pulled away from the Car.

He had a red substance dripping from his fingers, and Elena immediately knew what it was. Blood. "Who's is it?" she asked, fearing what she knew was the worst. "Damon's" Stefan whispered, his voice obviously upset.

Before Stefan and Elena could make sense of the situation, a police officer approached. "What are you doing here? This is a crime scene" he growled.

"I don't see any yellow tape," interjected Elena.

"Move away, otherwise I'll be forced to arrest you" he yelled, throwing Stefan a stern mysterious sideways glance.

"Are you Stefan Salvatore?" asked the police officer.

"Yes" he replied.

"Oh! Damon Salvatore actually just sent someone to find you, he's run into a bit of trouble, but he's at the Town Hall. Come with me."

Stefan already knew that he situation was suss, but before he could take action, Elena was pulling him towards the Town Hall.

They followed the Police officer into a special room, behind the seen part of the Town Hall. Stefan tried to get Elena to leave "Elena we have to leave this isn't right, something's up." He whispered, but Elena refused to listen.

"Damon and Sherriff Forbes are just having a meeting, they'll be here soon," He said stepping in front of the Door. "Where's Alaric?" Elena whispered to Stefan.

Stefan grabbed Elena's hand.

Four Police officers stepped into the room. Each produced a Vervain Needle from their belts.
"Run Elena! Get out of here!" Stefan screamed.

Elena dashed for the door, but a police officer grabbed her by the neck.

"Its over vampire girl" the police officer laughed. The Police officer pushed her to the ground, and Elena fell onto her head. She suddenly felt awfully sleepy, but what kept her awake was that of pure fright. Suddenly a group of police officer's pounced on Stefan, he tried to desperately to push them off, but they each injected him with Vervain. Slowly he sank into the ground beside Elena.

She watched in Horror as he tried desperately to get of the ground, but his eyes slowly closed. And then did hers.
