Stefan

I went back to Elena's house and ran into Jenna, who had been told Elena was with me. She had been confused until I told her Caroline and Bonnie meant she needed some air, and went for a walk to meet me, which she did and told me to come see the girls, tell them she'd be home soon.

"What was that?" Caroline asked when I walked in the door.

Damon glared at me, his eyes were red rimmed. I recognized that look and knew he was holding back tears. Since when has he cared about Elena so much? "He went to check on Katherine."

"Katherine?" Bonnie said.

I sighed. "I left Elena for Katherine."

They gawked at me.

Damon suddenly looked confused and stuck his hand in his front pocket, pulling out a small crumpled piece of paper. He opened it and his lip quivered slightly as he ripped the bottom of the page off and shoved it back in his pocket, handing me the rest of the paper. "For you."

I looked down at it.

Stefan,
I'm alright, but I don't think I will be soon. Klaus and Elijah are here, and they have a plan.
They have all their elements, werewolf, witch, vampire and doppelganger. I know it's almost over, but I'm scared. And I want you to know . . .
I love you, Stefan.
Always.
~Katherine

Tears stung at my eyes and I folded the note and slid it in my back pocket. Damon had his eyes closed and his mouth was in a tight line. "Bonnie, where is she?"

Bonnie's voice lowered. "Where she has been before." Then she shrugged. "I don't know."

I cocked my brow at her. "Hmm?"

"In the garden you shall find where she is." Bonnie looked at me. "What?"

Damon glanced at me. "She's in the garden?"

Bonnie looked at us like we were insane. "What about the garden?"

I looked back at Damon. "She's predicting without her knowledge, it's a vision."

"A prophecy?" Caroline added.

"Exactly." I walked to Elena's window and glanced down at Jenna's garden. It was all flowers and rocks; lilacs, daisies, roses, tulips–

Roses . . .

Rose.

"Rose . . . Damon where you first met Rose. Roses grow in the garden; it's the old abandoned house out in the middle of nowhere."

Damon rushed out the door, yelling "Meet me in the car!"

Caroline groaned. "This town has no originality."

I ran out after Damon, who was sitting behind the wheel looking scared to death. I sat in the passenger seat and told him to go, which he did . . . about fifty miles over the limit.

We were there within a matter of minutes, and we ran into Klaus at the door.

"Ah, just in time young Salvatore's." He grinned.

"Where's Elena?" Damon growled, his fangs bared and the veins in his face popping out.

"Do not move," Klaus said.

Damon and I froze. "Compulsion," I muttered.

"Very good, Stefan." He smiled at me, genuinely smiled.

Damon snarled again and struggled against the compelling, but it was no use.

I flinched and Damon's eyes became foggy as I heard Elena scream from inside the building.

"That would be my queue to leave." Klaus smiled and turned on his heal as he marched into the house.

Damon drew in a trembling breath and screamed, "Elena!"

If you are a hard core Delena fan like me, be prepared to cry in the oncoming chapters!
