This chapter is very neutral I decided to give you guys a break from so much creepiness, besides you'll need this break for what's coming up :P
ENJOY!
"They're Dead!" sobbed Elena digging her nails into her palms she looked out of the cars window but couldn't make anything out since Stephan was driving so fast.
"That's the road right there! Turn or you're going to miss it!"Stephan jerked the wheel as fast as he could and nearly hit the wooden fence surrounding the estate he glanced over at Elena who was tugging at her hair and she caught his concerned glance.
"What are you looking at?!" her voice sounded distorted from all the crying she had been doing she laughed humorlessly
" What are you worried? I'm not the one you should be worried about!" Stephan slowed the car into the driveway of the house ,Elena didnt even wait for it to make a complete stop and she dashed out of the car nearly falling on her face. she hurriedly clambered up the porch steps and knocked violently on the doo.r
"Elena , please calm down!" Calm down ? How could she possibly do such a thing when hers parents had just died and now her little brother was missing. Stephan jumped out of the car not bothering to turn it off and ran to Elena .
"Hello?!Mr. Seas please I know you're home! "
"Who is it!" came the reply from inside the house "its Elena!" Stephan wrapped his fingers around her hand and raised her hand to his lips and kissed it gently
"Everything is going to be okay" she tore her hand from Stephan
"No its not "she hissed through clenched teeth . An old man opened the door with a sawed off shot gun in his hand,, he was the epitome of an old man. With his disheveled white hair stained wife beater, and pants so saggy they surely concealed some Depends, the only thing missing was a cane.
"Elena" he said breathlessly
"Scared the shit outta me" Elena stepped inside and wrapped her arms around his neck and sobbed into his shoulder , Mr. Seas put a hand on the wall to steady himself.
"Well? What the hell is going on? I know you ain't cryin' like that cos you missed me" Elena released him and roughly wiped her face with her hands
"I'm sorry, I need your help" he looked at her puzzled "Or at least some information "
"Is this about what happened to your parents?" Mr. Seas glanced at Stephan with his brow furrowed as if he were some sort of monster hiding in human form. She held back a sob.
"Oh, you heard?" The old man kept his eyes trained on Stephan, he knew he recognized him from somewhere but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"It's a small town, word gets out pretty fast, where have I seen you before boy?"
Stephan felt nauseous his stomach tightened the old man had seen him with Logan countless times, and every one in town knew Logan was bad news. If he was smart enough he could easily put two and two together.
No I'm jumping to conclusions, he doesn't- cant, know anything its not possible. Stephan lowered his gaze and clenched his jaw making a perfect square
"You said it yourself , it's a small town" the edge in his voice surprised Elena
"What's wrong with you?" she grabbed his forearm forcing him to look at her
"I need to use the bathroom" he mumbled and tore out of Elena's grip
"What's with him?" Mr. Seas said under his breath Elena didn't answer and they both watched as Stephan made his way down the hall opening every door until he found the bathroom. Elena was going to go after him but Mr. Seas grabbed her arm,
"What was it you were going to tell me?" Elena bit her lip and gazed desperately down the empty hall.
"Its Jeremy ,he's gone missing". Her voice faltered and she looked in the old mans eyes and noticed he wasn't surprised
"Wait, do you know where he is?" she asked.
With his head he signaled to the living room and Elena followed him keeping quite, though she didn't see the purpose, if she wasn't mistaken it seemed they were getting away from Stephan making it harder for him to hear anything that they were saying.
" I've seen your boy hangin' around with the scum of this town" he clicked his tongue and nodded slowly and no Elena raised a perfectly arched eyebrow
"What does this have to do with Jeremy disappearing?" he glanced out into the hallway and lowered his voice further
"Okay I may be an old nut but trust me when I say this, he is not what he seems, why would he be hanging out with people like that if he's a 'good' guy?"
"Are you trying to say that he had something to do with Jeremy's disappearance?" Elena crossed her arms in front of her chest tears daring to fall from her eyes.
Mr. Seas chewed the inside of his cheek then shrugged his shoulders.
"Just keep an eye on him , cos I sure as hell will"
This conversation left her with more questions than answers, Stephan would never do something to hurt her deliberately and when she spoke to sheriff Forbes she said Jeremy was last spotted in the town center just two days ago. If any body had any clue as to her brothers whereabouts it was her parents but they were gone. And Stephan hadn't been to town. Had he?
Stephan flushed the toilet and went to the sink, he stared at himself in the mirror. He looked like hell. He turned the cold water on and splashed some on his face, he left the water running and walked to the door he opened it slightly. Through the small crack he saw them move into the living room he opened the door more. He strained his ears trying to make out what and Elena were talking about but he couldn't hear anything. Stephan cracked the door open further but then quickly went to the sink. Elena walked in.
"We're leaving" she paused looking Stephan over
"Are you better now?" she walked over to the sink and shut the water off he nodded and smiled as if that would show how much better he was feeling.
He could not wait to get out of there, the man would surely remember him if he inspected Stephan further.
"Okay well lets head out"
"Wait what did he tell you?" His tone desperate. Elena narrowed her eyes then crossed her arms on her chest
"Umm we didn't talk about anything yet , we thought it was best to leave it for tomorrow morning "
Stephan shrugged exasperatedly "Seriously?"
Elena went out the door
" He said he was worried about you" . He turned the bathroom light off and went outside hurredly nearly knocking Elena to the ground
"Oww! Watch it! " Mr. Seas frowned at Stephan emphasizing his age as he caught Elena against his chest.
"I'll take the flyers to ya tomorrow , good thing I have a picture laying round here somewhere" Both and Elena glanced at Stephan simultaneously.
Stephan dropped his gaze to the ground , Elena grabbed his forearm and pulled him to the front door.
"We'll let ourselves out Mr. Seas ,see you soon." Once they stepped outside and the door was closed behind them Elena grabbed Stephan by the collar of his jacket catching him completely off guard.
"Why are you acting as if you got caught with your hand in the cookie jar?"
Okay maybe it wasn't appropriate given the situation but Stephan chuckled, he just absolutely adored when Elena said things like that. His smile quickly faded and Stephan brushed past her and made his way to the car which was still on.
"Stephan!" She went after him and was surprised when he suddenly grabbed her by the shoulders and pressed her against the car, he didn't do it with force but tenderly, and something about the way he was looking at her sent sparks through her body.
"Elena I-"
"Shut up" she wrapped her hand behind his neck and pulled him in for a kiss ,their lips met in a savage tangle of lip and tongue that made their hearts race Elena threw her head back as Stephan planted kisses on her neck. She really needed this right now, to be caressed and held close especially when her family was dissipating. He abruptly stopped and leaned against the car
"What's wrong?" Elena asked placing a hand on his chest. He simply shook his head and brushed tears from his eyes he opened the back door and let himself fall into the backseat with his face down.
"Can you close the door please" he said through the seat.
She let out a tortured sigh and slammed the door . She walked over to the drivers side and climbed in. The trip back to the hotel was silent and awkward, Elena wasn't sure what was going on with Stephan maybe he was still shook up from being molested by his friend earlier that week. But one thing she was positive about, Stephan was definitely hiding something.
