A/N: This chapter is really late and really short but it was all I got left after the life-ruiner that was 3x22. Hope you'll forgive me and enjoy it anyway. I promise future updates will be quicker.

It is the first sunny day of the season and they say it may be the only one and I can't just let it go to waste. I should go tell him now.

I made my decision. I'm happy with my decision. I'd expect some harsh in my movements then, as I walk down the stairs, as I grab the keys with one hand and unleash my pony-tale with the other, but nothing seems different. I might as well have just decided to go buy some groceries! I'm actually on my way to drop a bomb on Mystic Falls and I have all the reasons not to want to rush into things. As I catch my reflection on the mirror in the hallway though, I can't help but notice that the left corner of my mouth is bizarrely turned upwards. Is it what a grin looks like on my face? For some reason I was sure it'd look as devious as Damon's does, but mine is just confusing. Almost ridiculous. I try for a minute or two to make it go away, but that non-sense half-smile of mine is just restless!

I give up soon enough and head to the door, no regrets behind me, no hopes in front of me. I hate what I lost but I love what I found. And whatever may come with it.

My hand is already on the knob when I feel a pair of eyes digging a hole in my back.

-Jeremy! – I squeak, turning back to face him.

- Where are you going, sis? – His nose is slightly twitching as if something's making him uneasy. And it gets me worried.

-Why? What happened, Jer?- the look in his eyes is not the one a sixteen-year-old should have….

-Damon called- he says as if he is swallowing a stick.

-Why in the world would Damon call you?-

-He said he left with Bonnie to go bury Klaus's body but Alaric found them before and… -

My sight starts to get blurry. My knees are trembling and squeamishness fills my body so fiercely I think I can't hear the rest of my little brother's words… but I have to.

-And?- my voice is firm, tough.

-….and he staked Klaus's body- as Jeremy's eyes lower to the ground I feel like the ceiling falls on my head and I lean on the door because I can't simply let my brother see me drop under its weight.

- Elena, I am so sorry, for this and for everything else that's happened to you, to us. I know you never meant for me to be a part of any of it, but I am. I saw it all and I am by your side, no matter what. I just can't stand still and watch you make matters worse anymore, watch you sacrifice yourself again, foolishly endangering yourself by being in the middle of this war, so… I called Matt and we agreed on something…-

Jeremy's eyes are back at me and I can hear each and every single word he's saying. I cannot seem to catch their meaning, though. The thought of Damon and Stefan gone is like a huge thick cloud in my head. Caroline, Tyler, even Bonnie's mom would be doomed. How can this be happening? What is wrong with this world? No. No. No. No. No! This is NOT happening. I have to stop it do something call them reach them say goodbye what if I can't find them what happens I'm going crazy this morning should have been different I was going to tell him I need to tell him I have to find him before…

9 short words from my little brother's mouth stop the flow of deranged thoughts streaming in my brain:

-… Matt is going to take you out of town.-

Real Delena action is about to come, guys, I swear, I'm just trying to give some deep sense to this story, instead of writing pure fluff, or pure smut.

Thank you for reading and please review! I loved the responses my first chapter recieved!
