~ I told myself that when the first chapter got five reviews, that I was going to post the next chapter. I also told myself that I wanted to stay a chapter ahead of what I have posted. Right now, I am about halfway done with chapter three for this story. So when that is done, I might update it right away and I might not. It all depends on the reviews and how I end the chapter.
~ This story is a bit different than what I usually write. I usually just stick to what's happening around the main character. In this story, I am writing the parts that happen with Elena as well and I am also writing what Damon & Stefan are doing to find her. I figured that it would fill up the chapters and give insight on how Stefan and Damn find Elena.

HicEtNuc: I will explain in a future chapter why Elena can't remember her human life. But what I can say, without spoiling why, only one (maybe two) people know why Elena has no memories.

ENJOY!


General POV

Greta walked into the house with a bag over her shoulder.
"Finally." Klaus said as he turned the corner. "She's up in the room." He said as he nodded his head towards the stairs.
"Has she completed the transition?" He nodded his head before walking up the stairs with Greta following him.

Elena lifted her head when she heard footsteps. Klaus and Greta appeared at the door to her room.
"Greta has something for you." Greta walked over to Elena and set the bag on the bed. She pulled out a necklace and handed it to Elena.
"This is for you." Elena looked at it. "It will let you walk in the sun."
"Is that why the windows are blocked?" Elena asked Greta. She gave a nod. Elena stood up from the bed.
"Let me." Klaus said, holding out his hand. Elena gave him the necklace. She held her hair up as he put it on her. "There you go." He said before she turned around. Greta got off the bed and started to open the curtains. The sun started to shine in on them.
"That's bright." Elena said, almost squinting her eyes.
"Come on downstairs." Klaus started to say to Elena. "I have a lot to tell you."


~Meanwhile at the Salvatore Boarding house~

Damon poured himself a glass of bourbon as he waited. He was waiting for her to barge into the house and yell at him. What he did was bugging him, but he hopped the bourbon would decrees the worry. Stefan walked into the living room with worry written all over his face.
"Elena's missing." Stefan said to his brother.
"What?" Damon asked. He knew where she should be. Then again he thought that she would have come straight for him after she came to.
"Yeah, apparently she left the Grill early and never got home."
"Where could she be?" Damon wondered out loud.
"I don't know. I talked Bonnie into doing a locater spell so we could try and find her." Damon nodded his head. "You stay here if she decides to show up." Damon nodded his head before watching his brother leave. As soon as Stefan was out of hearing range, he set down his glass, grabbed his leather jacket, and left.


~At the Gilbert house~

Bonnie stood in the kitchen, looking at a map. Jeremy walked down the stairs with Elena's hairbrush.
"Are you using the same spell that you used to find Elena before?" Jeremy asked as he walked into the kitchen. He set the brush on the island, next to the map.
"Yeah. I've had more practice so I should be able to get a more specific location." Bonnie said to Jeremy.
"Do you think we need more maps?"
"Well, I do have more specific ones. We can keep narrowing it down until its specific enough until to where we know an exact location." Jeremy held out his hand over the map. Bonnie took a knife to his hand. He held back a breath as she cut him, letting a few drops of blood hit the map.


~With Klaus and Elena~

Elena was sitting on a couch with Klaus. He was telling her about herself, but he left out the Salvatore's and he told her what you need to know as a vampire.

"So, I know you because I was a key to break to break a curse that was place on you." Klaus nodded his head as Elena spoke. "But you had to kill me, which is why you gave me an elixir that would bring me back to life afterwards. Why did you save me? Why didn't you just let me die?"
"You asked me not to," Klaus looked at Elena ", I didn't want you to stay dead." Elena let a little smile appear.
"I did?" Klaus nodded his head.
"Why don't we go out? You'll need some new clothes."
"Don't I have any here?" Klaus slightly shook his head.
"No. We were going to go shopping next week," Klaus lied ", but better sooner than later." He stood up and held his hand out. Elena looked at it for a moment. She didn't know if he was telling the truth, but how would she know? She didn't remember anything and he answered any question she asked. Elena let out a breath before putting her hand on his and standing up from the couch.


~In the woods~

Damon walked through the woods, trying to find the spot where Elena had taken him. If she was missing, it's his fault. It was his blood in her system and he was the one that snapped her neck. He felt responsible for her. There was no way he could tell Stefan. Stefan would surely take a stake and drive it through his heart if they couldn't find her alive, or even if they did find her as a vampire.

'It was right around….' Damon thought as he came upon the location where Elena had brought him. 'Not here' He thought. Damon looked around at the surrounding area for any sign of what happened after he left. 'Where could she be?' He asked himself as he started walking around the area. The scent of blood was faint, but he could smell it. Damon saw a squirrel lying lifelessly on the ground. He bent down next to it and observed it.

There was barely any blood left in it. Bite marks were visible on its body. Damon picked up the body, to get a closer look. He sniffed it, hoping that there was a trace of who was there. 'Elena,' He thought. He could faintly smell her scent on the squirrel. Damon lifted his head up with a worried expression. He put the squirrel back on the ground and stood up. 'What happened to her?' He thought as he looked around.

There was no sign of a struggle. The only clue was the dead squirrel. Damon took a deep breath as he looked around. 'We will find you Elena.' Damon thought before slowly walking away.


~With Klaus and Elena~

Elena nervously looked at the people passing her and Klaus as they walked. She took a deep breath.
"Are you okay?" Klaus asked her.
"I think so." Elena took a deep breath. "I don't know. I keep hearing things."
"That's their heartbeats." Klaus said to Elena in a whisper. "That's normal. I can hear them to. The key is to take deep breaths and try to think about anything else."
"Did you ever have the same problem?" They walked up to a store.
"Once upon a time." Klaus said to Elena before pushing a door open for her. Elena slightly smiled and walked into the store.

"There's a lot of stuff here." Elena said as she looked around.
"You can get whatever you want." Klaus said before Elena looked at him.
"Really?" He nodded his head. She smiled and started looking at clothes.


~At the Salvatore Boarding House~

Stefan was sitting on the couch, tapping his foot on the floor. His brother wasn't there when he got back and they still didn't know where Elena was. He took a deep breath before the front door opened.
"Where have you been?" He asked as Damon walked in.
"Out." Damon said as he went straight to his liquor.
"Out?" Stefan asked as he stood from the couch. "Elena is missing and you were 'out'?" Damon did his best to keep his emotions in. "I told you to stay here in case she would come back here." Damon took a deep breath.
"You're not the boss of me." Damon said, looking at Stefan's face. "Besides, I was out looking for Elena." Stefan's eyes slightly softened. "I don't see what the use is considering I couldn't find her. " They both let out a breath of air.
"Where could she be?" Stefan wondered out loud.
"I don't know Stefan. Maybe she couldn't stand us anymore and just left." Damon took a drink from his glass.

Stefan's phone started ringing. He took it out his pocket and answered it.
"Did you find her yet?" Stefan asked, knowing it was Bonnie on the other end.
"We have an idea of where she is." Damon looked at his brother, listening in on his conversation. "I don't know what she could be doing there thought."
"She's in Richmond." Bonnie took a breath. "I don't know how long she's going to be there though."
"Okay, we'll go check it out." Stefan looks at Damon. "Thanks Bonnie." Stefan hung up and looked at his brother.
"What would she be doing in Richmond?" Damon asked.
"I don't know," Stefan said to his brother ", but I'm going to find out." Stefan started to walk out the house.
"No." Damon said which made Stefan turn around. They looked at each other. "We're going to find her," Stefan gave a nod to his brother's words ", and we're going to bring her back."


~With Klaus and Elena~

Klaus was sitting on a lounge chair, drinking champagne. He was slightly glad that Elena didn't remember anything. He didn't know why and at the time, he didn't care. Elena walked out wearing a pink tank top and jeans. Although Klaus didn't exactly like Elena, he couldn't deny that she looked good. 'Is it only because she looks like Tatia?' He thought as she looked at him.
"How do I look?" Elena asked Klaus.
"You look good." Klaus said with a small smile. Elena turned to look at herself in the mirror. "Why don't we take a break from all this shopping?" Elena turned to Klaus. "Let's eat." He said before standing up. Elena looked around. "Not the humans." He walked up next to her. "Let's go to this one place, they have really good hamburgers." Elena smiled a little.
"But I still want to try some stuff on." Elena said as she looked at him.
"Just pick out whatever you want to try on and I'll buy it." Klaus leaned in. "I have loads of money." He backed away with a smile on his face.
"Okay." Elena said with a small smile.


~Damon and Stefan: on the way to Richmond~

Damon was in the driver's seat and Stefan was in the passenger seat next to them. In the back seat was a bag of weapons. They brought them on the safe side, incase Elena was abducted. Stefan was staring out the window as the trees passed by. He didn't know what had happened to Elena or even if she was okay. All he knew is that they had to find her and they had to bring her back.

Damon did his best to focus on his driving. He didn't want to think about how it could be his fault that Elena could be dead or if she was hiding in some random home, away from the sun. 'It's all my fault.' He thought as his grip on the steering wheel tightened. 'If she's dead…' Damon took a deep breath, calming his feelings. This was no time for him to let his feelings get the best of him. He reached in the back seat and grabbed a blood bag, to help control his feelings.

"Damon." Stefan said, still looking out the window. "What do you think happened to her?"
"I don't know." Damon said without even looking at his brother. Stefan slowly turned his head towards Damon.
"We have to find her."
"Don't you worry brother. We'll find her."
"What do you think happened?" Stefan asked quietly.
"I don't know." Damon said, just as quiet. "But we'll find her." Stefan gave a slight nod before slowly looking back out the window.

As Damon drank from the blood bag, he hoped that Elena was okay. He hoped that she was at least safe, away from the sun. 'Bonnie located her. She must be alive.' He thought. Damon took in a breath and tried to focus on his driving. He still couldn't shake the feeling that it was his fault that Elena is missing.


~ Like I said in the beginning, it's different that how I'm normally used to writing stories.
~ I know that (in the books) the Original petrova's name is Charlotte. I'm doing this more based on the show, which is why I had I'm saying 'Tatia' instead.
~ I hope you like this chapter. Please leave reviews on your thoughts about the chapter, theories about the story so far, and any ideas that you might like to see in a future chapter.
