Alone
Chapter: 5
Elena's POV:
I arrived at The Grill a few minutes after leaving Bonnie's. I parked the car and saw Caroline walking out of the door. "Elena, how are you?" Caroline chimed as I climbed out of my car.
"I'm good. What about you Caroline." I lied.
"Really well thank you, I have to go met my mom, bye Elena." Caroline said walking past me. I nodded and walked into The Grill and saw Bonnie sitting at the counter talking to Matt.
"Hi Bonnie, Matt." I said walking up to the counter.
"Hey Elena." They said simultaneously.
"Can I get you anything?" Matt asked.
"Just a coke, thank you." Matt turned and got a glass. I turned to Bonnie with the 'we have to talk' look in my eyes.
Matt came back with my Coke, I dug into my bag and paid. "Thank you Matt." I said walking to a nearly deserted part of the restaurant with Bonnie following.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Stefan he," I felt tears swell behind my eyes again, I did my best not to let them fall. "He left and I want your help to tell me where he went and why." After I was done, I couldn't hold back the tears anymore.
"Elena, I'm so sorry." She came to sit beside me.
"Bonnie will you please help me?" I took a deep breath trying to get myself under control.
"I-I can't. It's not that easy. You don't know what it's like to be opened up to everything around you and beyond you."
"Please Bonnie I have to know if he is okay. Please."
It took a few minutes before she responded. "Let's go."
"My car's out front." I said almost jumping out of my seat with excitement.
She followed me outside to my car and got in. I drove back to her house so we can find out where Stefan went and why.
As we arrived at her house the clouds gave, away to the rain they were threatening us with all day. I opened my umbrella and went to the other side to get Bonnie. She stepped out of the car and we walked to the front door where we were greeted by her mom. "We are going upstairs." Bonnie said walking inside. I closed my umbrella and laid it on the porch before following Bonnie upstairs.
When I got upstairs, Bonnie was sitting on her bed holding a brown book that looked rather worn. "Thank you Bonnie." I said walking into the bedroom and closing the door behind me. She nodded and got two candles from her bookshelf.
She sat the candles about two inches across from each other and lit them. She motioned for me to sit behind one of the candles while she sat behind the other, I did so. She took my hands in hers over the flame of the candle and started to say words I did not understand. I looked at the flame of the candle, and it was growing taller and stronger.
"Close your eyes." She whispered.
She started to chant different words now, stronger than before. I felt hope, I was going to know where Stefan was, I am going to get him back.
All hope was lost when she tapped me on the shoulder and looked at with her sad brown eyes. "I'm sorry Elena; it like someone is keeping me from contacting Stefan on from locating him. I don't know what happened."
"It's okay Bonnie, you did your best. I better get going, it's getting dark." I took a look at the clock on Bonnie's bedside table and it read 8:45. Wow, she had been trying hard on these spells. I thought to myself as I got off the floor. "Bye Bonnie." I called from the door.
"Bye Elena, I'm sorry again."
"It's okay Bonnie, you need some rest, and you worked hard." She nodded. I closed her door as I walked out.
