Elena's P.O.V
I was right. He was here, I thought as he walked out of the house. But there was something not right about him.
"Stefan-" Caroline said next to me as she was about to go up to him.
I pulled her arm back, "that's not him." I whispered to her.
It was Silas. He was coming out of the house and he looked angry. He got into the car and left. I motioned for Caroline to follow me. This was our chance.

We creeped into the house. It was dark and there was not a sound. It reminded me so much of a horror movie where someone always dies.
There was no one here from the looks of it or sound of it. There were some pictures hanging on the wall.
"We're at the right place, look." Caroline said pointing to one of the pictures. There Anna stood in the middle of what I assumed was her parents.

I could hear voices from somewhere. I frowned as it disappeared here and there. But it was definitely coming from downstairs. We tiptoed through the house so that no one would hear us. As we walked down the flight of stairs, the voices got louder. My heart beat faster as I could hear him. His soft, velvet voice echoed through my mind.
We got to a metal door. There was a lock that bound it shut.
"Stefan?" I called out. The voices went silent.
Then I heard his voice. The voice that melted my heart each time I heard it. "Elena?" He called, "Elena, you need to leave. Silas is here and he's going to come back."
"I'm not leaving you here." I told him, "where's the key?" I said frustrated.
There was another pause. "There should be a loose floorboard somewhere where your standing." I hear a girls voice, probably Anna's. I got to the floor and ripped them out, one at a time. And then a metal small object glinted.

I opened the door and there he was. His green eyes met mine.
"Stefan." I said softly.
All these emotions ran through me. Relief, happiness, concern.
His eyes widened as he screamed, "no!"
I felt a pair of hands grab my head and then I plunged into darkness.

Anna's P.O.V
I felt the man that I had sat beside me, now gone. He pushed Silas against the wall, angrily. Silas just laughed in his face, "you think you're actually going to beat me?" He pulled a stake out and staked stefan ear his heart. "You're lucky I need you." He whispered into his ear, "you guys better not do anything stupid before I come back." And with that he left us in the cold darkness.

Stefan fell to the floor. He grabbed the stake and pulled it out of him, grunting. He immediately ran to were Elena lay, cradling her in his arms. I could see the love he had for her emanate from his eyes. Caroline stood staring at them too giving them a sympathetic look.
"Elena?" He said as her eyes fluttered open. She smiled up at him. It felt like they were in their own little world as their eyes stared at each other.
She put her hand on his cheek, "You're alive. I knew you'd be alive. I had hope." She said.
He smiled back at her but it was gone in the next second. Replaced by a pained expression. "You shouldn't be here. He'll kill you." He said to her.
"No, I want to be here. I'd rather die and know that you were okay then live without knowing." She said to him as she sat up still gazing into his eyes, "I love you. I always will."

Damon's P.O.V
"You okay?" I asked her as I turned to look at her. Those big brown eyes staring up at me.
A smile formed on her lips, "I think I should be the one asking that. Look at you." She said to me pointing at the bullets wounds. They weren't just any ordinary bullets but wooden bullets laced with vervain. I could feel the vervain burn through me. Thankfully I had moved in front of her just in time. She wouldn't have been able to survive this. She was human after all.

And then I felt a pair of hands grab my arms and drag me somewhere. He shoved me against the wall of the police station. It looked like we were at the back of the police station. He held a a stake to my heart. The bullets were making me too weak todo anything.
"I'm going to enjoy doing this." He said but before he could do anything, he was being pushed backwards. She turned him around, kneed him in the gut and elbowed his back. He fell to the floor as she pointed his own gun to him.
"Now this is what you're going to do. You're going to pretend like we were never here. There are more of us here so I wouldn't call for back up. We will be out of this town soon anyway." She told him and he nodded in fear. "You can go now." She said to the police officer and he ran away as fast as he could.
"How did you do that?" I asked in amazement.
"After being on this earth for centuries, you pick up a few things... And also watching a lot of Jackie Chan movies." She said laughing and I could help but laugh with her. She really had changed or maybe she was finally herself?

"Katherine! Just do it!" I said to her irritated.
"It's gross. I am not putting my hands inside your body to pull out bullets!" She screamed at me.
"Oh yeah, let's just leave them in then." I told her sarcastically. She scrunched up her nose and shivered and closed her eyes as she pulled out the first bullet, then the next bullet and then the next bullet. "I'm glad your not a doctor." I told her laughing.
"At least they have gloves and tools." She said to me. She held out her wrist to my mouth.
"What are you doing?"
"Drink!" She said, "when we do find Anna or Silas or Stefan, you're going to want to be strong enough." And then she smirked, "just don't drink me dry."
"Try not to."
We were about to leave for the address when I could feel someone watching us.
"Isn't this lovely?" Someone said coldly. "You must be Damon and... Katherine I'm assuming?" He said to us.
"Silas."

hey guys, I hope the stefan and elena meeting lived up to your expectations, sorry if it didn't! We will have more moments of them together in the chapters ahead. And there might be something going on between damon and Katherine. I didn't want one brother to be happy and the other to have nothing. Thanks for reading and reviewing :)
