As they landed Damon kissed Elena's forehead, waking her from her sleep as he stood, taking her hand. They walked off the plan as they waited for everyone else. "So I guess we'll go to our hotel first." Stefan said, he seemed a bit short on temper, seemingly for a good reason though. They caught a cab, heading for a hotel on the outskirts of Transylvania. Once they had reached the hotel, they headed into the lobby, everyone getting their key to their rooms. Damon and Elena were in one, Caroline and Bonnie took the other one, and Stefan took the last one all in the range of the same hallway. They decided to meet up in an hour and discuss what would be happening shortly.
They took the elevator up as they watched the floor number get higher and higher until it reached level eight. They stepped out, parting ways as Damon reached their door, juggling two bags and the key. "Here let me help." Elena said, unlocking the door and stepping to the side for Damon to set the duffel bags down on the floor. He took the opportunity to lie down and let out a big sigh once he made contact with a decently soft mattress. She lied down beside him, placing her hand on his stomach and snuggling into the crook of his body frame.
"I love you." She said as she softly stroked his abs through his shirt. He sighed once more in contempt, "I love you too." They lied in complete and udder quiet until they heard a knock at the door as Elena shouted, "Come in!" Stefan, Bonnie, and Caroline waltzed in as Caroline sat in an arm chair and Bonnie took a seat at the small table as did Stefan. Elena sat up, leaning into Damon as he wrapped his arms around her waist and nestled his chin in her hair. "So what's the plan?" Damon asked. "Well," Bonnie began as she flipped through some papers, "In order to find out exactly where she is, we're going to have to take some more blood from Elena." She looked to Elena as she stood, walking over to Bonnie. Bonnie pulled out the family tree once more and a map of Transylvania.
Elena held out her hand, palm up as Bonnie placed the blade in her hand and waited for her to close her fingers around it, pulling it out, slicing through her skin and making a few drops of blood onto the page before the cut sewed itself shut and all that was left was a faint pink line. Everyone watched, especially Damon as Bonnie began the spell which made the blood move once more onto Katherine's name and then over onto the map. The blood stopped on a road not far from the hotel. "When do we leave?" Elena asked, just wanting to get this all done and over with, but nothing ever went that way.
"Tomorrow morning at dawn." Stefan said, already half way out of the door. Bonnie and Caroline shuffled after him as the door swung shut Elena collapsed back onto the bed and sighed. "It's only a matter of time before the shit hits that fan and everything gets fucked up." She mumbled as she turned over onto her stomach, her face in a pillow. Damon climbed onto the bed beside her, kissing her neck, "Now I can't have my girl unhappy, let's turn that frown upside down." He nibbled on her ear lobe as he begun to tickle her, pinning her underneath him.
…
Damon woke to a swift knock at the door as he groaned. He sat up, looking out the window to find it still pitch black outside and Elena soundly asleep beside him. He heard the knock once more as he stood up, raking a hand through his hair and walking over to the door. He opened it to find Blondie on the other side, expecting Stefan, Damon was taken aback for a moment before she said, "Get dressed and whatever. Meet us in the lobby." Damon nodded his head, rubbing his eyes and shutting the door once she walked away. He pushed the hair out of her face as he placed a tender kiss to her perfect lips, how badly he wanted to just crawl back into bed and hold her in his arms. She rolled over mumbling something incoherent before he placed another kiss to her neck and knowing she wasn't going to get up unless he did something drastic, he hovered over her, kissing down her stomach, knowing she was awake he kissed her hipbone before trailing back up to her lips. She pouted as he chuckled, "If we get through today alive, I will pleasure you till oblivion." She smiled, climbing out from under him and heading over to the mini fridge which they had stocked with blood bags, they needed to be ready for anything, which meant they had to be fully energized and have their strengths at their highest capacity.
She tossed a bag to Damon as they quenched their mild hunger in quiet. After they both polished off two blood bags, they started getting ready to leave. They tossed each other clothes as they dress for the forthcoming events. Elena touched the ring around her neck as she felt Damon's eyes on her, "You know that you don't have to do this." She looked up and into his eyes, "Yes I do, like I said before, she's my only real family left. I can't take that for granted." He nodded, grabbing her hand as they walked out the door and into what would soon seem to be complete and udder hell.
