"You want us, to fight against Guardians", Abigail asked. When Talia simply nodded Courtney said,"Okay, fine. We'll go up against you and Titiana." "Oh, I wasn't talking about Titiana and I. Actually, Titiana is bringing them over here right about now." As if on cue, Titiana appeared with 4 other girls. Caroline and Bonnie recognized 2 of them as Amazonia and Pacifica, the 2 Guardians that had helped heal them when Haven was torturing Stefan,Elena,and Damon in the woods. Now that Bonnie thought about it, she still didn't know what their specialties were. One of them had grey eyes like Meredith's and platinum blonde hair. Another one of them had fiery orange hair and golden eyes. Titiana introduced them. "You've already met Amazonia the Guardian of animals and Pacifica the Guardian of water. This", she motioned over to the girl with golden eyes,"is Anastasia, the Guardian of fire, and this", she motioned to the girl with grey eyes,"is Amatis, the Guardian of wind. Now, go!" Courtney,Amber,Adelina, and Abigail stood up straighter as the Guardians moved toward them. Anastasia put up a finger and flames danced on top of it. Amatis blew a wind that had managed to make the leaves stir. Pacifica began twirling her finger around and a small portion of water began twirling around with was getting ready to pounce like a tiger. Then, they all ran. Courtney managed to elbow Anastasia and duck her proceeding hit. Amazonia had almost made Adelina trip if she hadn't flipped had mate Abigail fall, only to have Abigail reach for her ankle and make Pacifica fall. Amber sparred with Amatis, who sent a gust of wind in Amber's face. But, Amber used her powers to make the wind go back to their sender, and sent Amatis onto the kicked Amazonia in the shoulder hard enough to knock her finally, Courtney managed to kick Anastasia in the ankle and brought her down as well. Now that all the Guardians were down, the fight was group of girls got applause from their parents and the two remaining Guardians.
Elena was in the room that she shared with Stefan, who had went out with Caroline to teach the girls the fine art of had gone along as well to make sure Amber could control her magic. Meredith had gone home and was spending some quality time with Alaric. And Elena was just sitting in bed reading a book. Suddenly, the bedroom window broke and Damon waked in. "Damon what are you doing back here?" He stared at her but didn't respond to her question. He moved over to her and put his hand on top of her tried yelling out but it was no use. Then, he snapped her neck and she fell onto the bed unconscious.
As soon as Stefan had gotten home, he went upstairs to check on Elena. But, when he opened the door to the bedroom, she wasn't there. He looked in Adelina's bedroom, the bathroom, and was about to check the guest rooms when he heard the sound of glass breaking. He ran towards the bedroom and saw the white curtains of the window floating in the breeze. As Stefan was about to close the windows, he stepped on pieces of he looked down, he saw the window glass and the pictures. 3 different pictures were on the floor. One was Stefan and Elena's wedding photo, the other was of Adelina, and the last one was the picture that Damon had broken 18 years ago when he found Elena there when Stefan had compelled her to forget him. He looked at Elena's side of the bed but didn't see her there. Instead, he saw a note that said, Alright, I've become a bit more reasonable. I'll give you 6 months to find Elena and if you do, no harm will come to you and your family. However, if you don't I'll kill luck.
The note hadn't said who it was from and he didn't recognize the handwriting. He put it down. Next to it, on the pillow lay Elena's wedding ring and the necklace he had given her on their wedding night. The necklace she refused to take off. It was then that he knew that she was gone. And he needed to find her.
