[[ Stefan's POV]]

The next morning, was peaceful and quiet. Birds chirped lightly outside, and the sun shown into my room, slightly through the curtains. I laid on my side, shirtless with pajama pants, a normalcy. While my arm was wrapped Elena's waist, as she slept peacefully next to me. I felt her stir slightly, and grinned. "Good Morning," I whispered into her ear. I hear her groan slightly, check the clock for the time, 8:45, and then turn around in my arms to look at me. "It's too early," I heard her delicate voice answer. I chuckled, the pad of my thumb stroking her cheek "That's what you always say. "I said with a grin, kissing her nose.

I smiled, feeling Stefan's arm tighten around my waist , and then moments later hearing his rich voice. We were both worn out from the previous nights event, thinking of that just made me smile. I turned around in his arms, and grinned. "It's too early," I whined. He only chuckled, and said "That's what you always say.."I shook my head. Our hands intertwined, I smiled. "Good Morning, to you too." I stated. He smiled, and we kissed lightly. I smiled, slowly untangling myself from his arms and getting out of bed. My feet hit the cold wood floor, and I shivered slightly. Stefan was already by my side, a hand around my waist as we walked lazily downstairs.

The house was quiet, a bit too quiet. Just a bit more quiet then normal around here. "Damon?" I heard Stefan call out. "Damon?" I called out myself, we separated, both going different directions looking for the elder Salvatore. Finally we met back up 30 or so minutes later "Can't find him" we said almost simultaneously. I frowned, "Did he ever come home last night?" Stefan nodded, "Yes"

"Are you sure?"

"Positive, he was right behind me…"

"And he never left? Stefan what if….He…" I couldn't bare to finish my sentence.

"I'm sure he'll be fine. He'll come back soon." I heard him say.

I nodded, "I hope your right." I said softly..

[[ Klaus's POV ]]

"Well, I wouldn't be so certain of that." I said with a grin, as I walked out from one of the darker corners of the room, in the Salvatore Boarding House. I flashed Stefan, and Elena a grin. "Elena, how could you possibly think it would take me, long to find Stefan?" I hissed. Out of my peripheral version I saw Stefan move in front of Elena, in a protective stance. "There's no use in that." I stated.

[[ Elena's POV ]]

Stefan and I turned at the sound of a voice, one achingly familiar. "Klaus," Elena gasped. I looked at Stefan with horrified eyes, Klaus had found us, him. We we're screwed. As Stefan moved in front of me, in a more protective way Klaus spoke. A chill ran down my spine, and I suddenly felt two arms around me. Prying me away from Stefan. Klaus grinned, "Maddox, take Elena to visit the other Salvatore." he said. Then added, "I need to speak with my ripper alone." he said, and then we were gone. I didn't know where we were headed but, I did know…Klaus was going to kill Stefan, if I couldn't stop him.
