Stefan picked up the phone to call Jeremy.

He answered quickly and asked, "Stefan, what's going on? How is Elena?"

"Elena is doing ok for now. I think she is still in shock but she is getting some rest."

"Do you…do you think she will handle drink blood right? Stefan I'm so worried about her too I don't even know what to think anymore."

"She is worried about you too Jeremy."

"I want to see her. It feels horrible just sitting here not knowing what to do."

"I know Jeremy, I'm so sorry. I will do my best to help Elena. Everyone will help her. And I think she is just afraid that she might hurt you, just give her some time."

"Elena would never hurt me."

"You're right Jeremy. We just need to let her figure out how to trust herself first. "

Though Stefan couldn't see him, Jeremy was nodding his head silently. He felt frozen, still in shock that his sister was a vampire. But he felt he couldn't do much now except move on. And he was only grateful that Stefan was there for her. He knew that everyone was there for her as Stefan had said. But he also knew that Stefan was Elena's greatest source of comfort.

"You know Stefan I'm sorry the way I treated you the other day. I was so frustrated with everything happening and now everything has really changed. I'm just glad you're here now. "

"It's OK, Jeremy. You don't need to apologize for anything. You were just looking out for your sister. "

"Thank you. Just…keep me updated on everything. "

"I will."

Jeremy hung up the phone and looked over at Caroline and Matt.

"What did he say?" Matt asked.

"Elena seems ok for now but she still needs to figure things out."

Matt and Caroline nodded and then Matt looked at Caroline.

"What about you…do you know what you're going to do yet?"

Caroline responded with a weary look on her face saying, "I don't know. I will try to hide here for a bit, maybe we can figure something out by then."

Bonnie was sitting in her kitchen waiting for Damon. The previous night they had decided they would take off in the morning to search for the things they needed. Bonnie felt a little uneasy about taking off with Damon again. Once she got into his car and they decided they would continue the next day, Damon's snarky attitude was suddenly gone and it got very quiet. Bonnie eventually even fell asleep until they finally reached her house.

Her doorbell finally rang. She opened the door to see Damon standing there looking bored.

"Are you ready witch?" he said smugly.

Well I guess the snarky attitude is back, she thought.

'Want some coffee?" she asked as she held a mug up.

"No, just get in the car," he said bluntly.

Bonnie raised her eyebrows and stepped outside, locking the door before she followed him to the car.

They took off in the car and Damon looked at Bonnie with his head tilted.

"So, how is Elena doing?" asked Bonnie.

"I don't know, I didn't go home last night," Damon answered.

"Oh…" It was quiet for a few moments.

"So…are you sure about going to Abby's" he asked, breaking the awkward silence.

"Yes, well it seems the best place to start."

"Alright then."

They arrived at Abby's home a little later and knocked on the door. Jamie answered.

"Hey," he said to Bonnie as he hugged her and she smiled at him.

Damon stood there awkwardly as they talked.

"Are you ok Bonnie? I've been worried about you. You never really told me what was going on," he said holding her hand.

"Never you mind," Damon said looking at Jamie. "We are here to see Abby."

Jamie shot him an angry look and Bonnie rolled her eyes at Damon.

"Abby isn't here, I haven't seen her in a bit actually," Jamie said.

"Well do you think she will mind if I go through her garden for a bit? It is important."

"Sure. I have to take care of some things in town but just call me when you can," he said looking at Bonnie and then over to Damon with concern in his eyes.

Bonnie and Damon walked over to the garden and then Bonnie shot Damon a disapproving look.

"Seriously Damon, you don't have to be so rude," she said with an irritated expression.

"Well this guy," Damon replied.

Bonnie just shook her head and started to focus on the garden.

Elena was awake, sitting up in Stefan's bed. She looked around her. The sun was rising and she couldn't believe that within the last 24 hours, with all the chaos around her she had mostly just slept. It was strange. As a vampire she felt so much energy in her body, but she was emotionally drained. But as she now sat there she felt a bit more optimistic. She couldn't help but soak up the warmth and comfort she felt in Stefan's room. She didn't want to leave…but then of course, Stefan wasn't even in there at the moment.

Elena began walking downstairs looking for Stefan. She finally found him sitting in the living room, writing in his journal. She felt a rush of emotion as she watched him writing with a very intense and determined expression on his face. She stood there looking at him for a few moments, wondering when he would notice that she was standing there.

Stefan's head finally moved up and then to the side. He saw her and his intense expression suddenly went soft as his eyes began to smile.

He closed his journal, setting it on the table and then walked over to her.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

"I feel ok right now," she said with a slight smile. "Physically I feel fine for now, it's just everything else that I am worrying about."

Stefan nodded and grabbed her hand leading her to a room.

They were then in the kitchen and Elena couldn't help but let a huge smile spread over her face as she noticed all the food on the counter. There was waffles, bacon, toast, eggs and pretty much every breakfast food Elena could think of.

She looked Stefan and started to giggle and he suddenly had the biggest smile on his face.

After a few moments his face got more serious as he began to speak.

"Well I have coffee and food for you. Eating the regular food can help with the cravings…it does actually work for some. And I have some animal blood for you just in case you want to try that later."

Elena nodded, looked at him intensely and said, "Thank you, Stefan."

Caroline and Matt had both been staying at the Gilbert's house not only because Caroline needed to hide out there, but also they were worried about leaving Jeremy alone.

They were all sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast when they heard the doorbell ring.

"I'll get it," Matt said as he got up.

Matt walked over and opened the door.

His eyes went wide as he said, "Tyler?"

Caroline was suddenly there and as Tyler stepped in she ran at him throwing her arms around him.

"Oh my god, oh my god, you're alive" she said as she began to sob. Matt just stood there with a relived expression on his face, waiting for an explanation and then Jeremy walked in.

Tyler hugged her and said, "I don't know, after you left I just passed out. I woke up on the floor only an hour ago."

"But if Klaus is dead…how are you alive Tyler? What does that even mean?"

"Maybe it's different for hybrids…" Tyler muttered.

Caroline just nodded with a confused look on her face.

Matt finally came up to hug Tyler, "I'm just glad you're ok man," he said to his friend.

Caroline began to speak again with a worried expression, "Tyler I still don't know what we are going do. I was going to hide out here until I knew what to do. But now you're here. It's just…I don't know if I can leave now. Things are different."

"What do you mean?" Tyler responded with a confused tone.

"Elena…she died. She's a vampire now," said Caroline.

Tyler grew very quiet. She looked at him but she couldn't detect the expression on his face. She couldn't tell if he looked sad or angry.

"Well what happened?" he finally said.

"Rebekah…she caused Matt and Elena to crash off the bridge and they drowned…"

Tyler's eyes widened and suddenly looked tense.

"I have to take care of something," he said as he began to walk to the door.

"I'll come with you," Caroline said earnestly.

He turned and put his hands on her shoulders. "No Caroline, you stay here, I'll figure out what we will do. Just give me some time."

She looked at him intensely. She could sense something strange about him. As if he knew something that she didn't, yet still, she looked in his eyes and couldn't help but trust him. She nodded and hugged him before he walked out the door.
