EPOV
I heard a knock at my window which woke me immediately. When tangling with vampires, it helps if you're a light sleeper.
I opened my eyes and saw Stefan staring at me. Groggily, I opened my window and Stefan climbed in without making a sound.
"Hi." I whispered sleepily.
"Hello, little love," he whispered back, "I'm sorry for waking you but I need you to come with me to the boarding house. You'll need to pack a bag."
"Why?" I asked quietly. "What's going on?"
"I'll explain when we get there."
Stefan went out into the hallway, so quickly, I put on my jeans and a long sleeved shirt and packed my bag with a few pairs of clothes and underpants, my hairbrush, toothpaste and toothbrush, my diary and some snacks (chocolate).
"Are you ready?" Stefan asked.
"Yes."
Stefan picked me up and we sped out of the house and in a matter of seconds we were at the boarding house. Damon was waiting for us. Stefan put me down.
"What's wrong? Stefan?"
Stefan lifted his hands so I could see. His lapis lazuli ring he wore to protect him from the sun was gone.
"Stefan, where's your ring?"
"I lost it at a bar... I went with Damon and we got drunk. We gambled and I lost it to this vampire called Nicholas Darke. I need to get it back so while I'm gone Damon is going to look after you."
"What? No!"
"What, yes." Damon replied soberly.
"Don't worry; I'll only be gone for a couple of days! You'll be fine!"
I have my doubts, I think to myself. I kiss Stefan and we walk towards the door. Stefan had his bag, I had mine.
"Please, come home soon..." I whisper and he kisses me on the forehead. "Do need some blood?" I ask, concerned he'll need some.
"No. I went hunting before I came for you, little lovely love."
"Okay. Be careful. I love you."
"I will. I love you, too."
Then Stefan left the boarding house, leaving me alone. With Damon.
