I'm really sorry for all of my spelling and grammer mistakes, the person I get to do all my editing is busy and I've not had much time myself because I have been in hospital and also because I have been caught up with my version of the story. I have so many ideas running through my head I just have to type them down and let the ideas flow. Thanks to all the people who are enjoying my story despite the errors, and thanks for all the reviews they are widely apreciated.

As you already know I don't own the Vampire Diaries, but I wish I did.

Stefan provo-

He didn't have the time or the strength to face Elena, so he kept telling himself that she would understand soon enough,mabe he could be back before she suspected anything, he thought wistfully.

No that was stupid of course she would notice his absence he had to keep her from worrying some how. He only had a little time so he quickly jotted a note to Elena and left it in the same place Katherine had left hers before leaving the boarding house as fast as he could for the airport.

Damon provo-

The plan was going exceptionaly well, 145 years of tourmenting his supid little brother had clearly paid off he knew him so well. He had bought the forged note that Damon had compeled one of his meals to write before he drained e dry. "Hmm what a pitty" he muttered to hiself she had been rather useful.

Know all Damon had to do was sit and wait for Elena to find the note Stefan had left her, he was so stupid of course she would take him running off to find Katherine the wrong way. Elena was a head strong woman a lot like himself he thought with a pleased smile, he was a little shocked that he was able to get rid of stefan so easily. When Elena was Damon's he would never leave her, his princess would always be safe with him, and no one would ever make him doubt that he could protect her.

Soon she wouldn't need much protection anyway, but that was for later for know Damon was enjoying Stefan's little world crashing around him like dominoes.

Elena provo-

Elena had woken to the smell of pankakes and she laughed as her tummy began to rummble, she rolled over smiling to her self, she didnt know Sefan could cook, she had never seen him cook, she knew that Damon was a excellent cook. She lazily wondered if Stefan was the better cook. She giggled thinking there is only one way she was going to find out and skipped her way down to the kitchen.

Only to find Damon in a flowery apron poring syrup over pancakes just the way she liked them. she could help but laugh at his apron and how at home he looked in the kitchen, it was such a pitty he didn't eat himself because as she shoved the pancakes down she could have sworn she had never tasted anything more delicious in her life.

"Slow down Elena, you might choke" Damon chuckled watching her intently.

If I choke then at least I'll have you here to save me Elena thought, immediately feeling guilty for thinking that about Damon. Damm that boy knew how to mess with her head and make her forget all about Stefan.

"Wheres Stefan" she said going back to her pancakes.

Damon flashed her a cheeky grin which was not like him to do usually when she mentioned Stefan he scowled. "I dont thinhk hes up yet, sleeps like the dead you see, and his snoring can be so annoying, no wonder you didnt want to share a room wth him"

Damon was in a very happy mood this morning and he seemed to be on top form with his smart ass comments she thought as she stood up taking her pancakes wit her.

On the way to Stefan's room Elena couldnt help but silently wish that Stefan was more like his brother, especially in the cooking department. But she was gld in a way that Stefan was not like his Brother, because Stefan was safe he loved her, unlike Damon tefan was never goig to get bored of her and leave her.

She was suprised when she walked into Stefan's room and found his bed empty but there was a note on his pillow, with her name scribbled hastily across the front. She sat on the bed crossed legged and opened the note with trembling hands.

My Dearest Elena

I'm sorry I didnt have the time to say Goodbye, but I have to go and meet Katherine. I hope that one day I can gt the chance to explain properly. Damon will keep you safe and as long as you have your necklace I will always be with you and nothing can hurt you. I'm doing this for you my darling.

Wait for me.

Love Stefan. xx

Tears swelled up in Elena's eyes as she ripped th necklace fro er throat, she didnt want any reminder of Stefan
