Alone

Chapter: 11

Stefan's POV:

Elena is lying next to me on the bed, the way it is suppose to be, but something doesn't seem right, she seems so distant even if she is close. "What's the matter love?" I asked breaking the silence that filled the air around us.

"Nothing." She gave me a weak smile a cuddled into my chest. I didn't pry anymore, she will tell me when she is ready even if the hunch I have if is probably correct. I slowly drifted off to sleep.

Elena's POV:

The sun shone bright through the window, Stefan was still holding me but my thoughts were still on Damon. What's wrong with me? How can I be with Stefan and only think of Damon? One night with him changed everything. Stefan began to stir which broke my train of thought. "Morning lovely love." Stefan said kissing me softy, I kissed him back. At that movement I felt a surge of betrayal flow through me, I didn't now why, Stefan was my boyfriend.

"I am going to take a shower." I said getting up from the bed and grabbing some clean clothes.

"I will be back in about an hour."

I was going to ask 'where' but, then I realized I know where. "Be careful." I said thinking about the time he went out to hunt and got caught and tortured by the tomb vampires.

"Always." At that statement he disappeared out the window.

I put my pajamas in the hamper and stepped in the shower. I turned the water to hot and let in drip down my back in hopes of it washing away my thoughts.

Thirty minutes later I stepped out of the shower all my thoughts still intact. I dried off and wrapped the towel around my body. I blow dried my hair and put some makeup on. I put on a dark pair of jeans and a blue top and threw the towel in the hamper.

Going downstairs I thought maybe I should talk to Damon that might clear some of my thoughts. Or at least tell him the truth. When I reached the bottom of the stairs their was no sign of Damon. I walked over to were he kept all his drinks, it remained untouched. Before I let my mind run away with me I went into the kitchen, no sign of Damon. I went back upstairs to his room, maybe he was still asleep, it was noon but who knows with Damon. I cracked the door a little to his room, just enough to see his bed, it remained made. A surge of fear ran up my spine. "Damon!" I shouted knowing if he is in the house or close proximity of the house he can hear me. I waited there for five minutes but no answer. I got really worried.

I walked downstairs and looked outside, his car was still here. I walked to the couch and sat down, maybe Stefan would have an idea, I doubt it but who knows.

After what felt like hours I heard the front door creak open. Stefan Stepped into the living room were I was sitting. "Hello love, shall we see a movie tonight?"

"No, I think I want to stay in tonight." Stefan nodded and kissed me on the forehead. "Stefan, have you heard from Damon? I don't think he came home last night."

I could feel him tense at the sound of his brother's name then he answered, "He's probably out sucking some poor girl dry."

I nodded at Stefan's words even if something felt off. Why would he do that if he had blood in the fridge and he hadn't done it in a while?

Few hours later

Elena's POV continued:

Stefan and I were going up to bed when something told me to check in Damon's room one more time. Why? I don't know. "I will be right up Stefan; I left something in the living room." I called waiting for him to go in his room before I turned towards Damon's room.

I opened the door, wider this time. The bed still remained untouched but something caught my eye lying on Damon's bed. A white piece of paper against Damon's black sheets. I slowly walked towards the bed a picked up the paper, it was a note. I unfolded it a read,

Where the moon meets the land

Where the sun will take the life

The finial resting place

I let out a gasp, it was a riddle.

A/N: Please Review!

I tried a riddle because I didn't really like the original letter idea I had, it didn't flow.
