Wow, seven episodes in and this game remains playable…I'm amazed…
This missing scene begins at the end of season 2, episode 7 - "Masquerade"
Damon was waiting at the Gilbert house when Jeremy arrived. Damon was quickly at the car door as Jeremy exited the car.
"How's Elena?" Damon asked, his concern showing.
"She said she's feeling better." Jeremy replied. "Bonnie helped take the pain away. I talked to her when I was about to take Bonnie home – she said she was going straight to bed."
Damon scowled. "She's not here."
"What?" Jeremy was surprised. "She had her car and said was coming straight home."
Damon grimaced as he pulled his phone out and called Stefan.
"What?" Stefan said as he answered – almost harshly.
"Where's Elena?" Damon demanded in a low voice.
"Don't know." Stefan said. Damon could tell he was upset. "She wanted space and walked away from me. I don't know where she went."
"You left her alone even though you know what she went through?" Damon asked angrily.
"She left me," Stefan retorted. "I can't force her to stay with me."
"What? You can't be around her without pawing her?" Damon accused. "You can give her space and still keep an eye on her.
"I gave her what she wanted." Stefan said.
Damon was speaking angrily now. "Whatever she wants, whether she gets it or not, we give her what she needs. She's hurt and scared and you leave her alone? She needs protection."
"Katherine is gone," Stefan yelled into his phone. "Protection from what?"
Damon shook his head and spoke softly now – almost to himself. "Katherine said she needed protection. "
"Whatever she said was a lie, and she's gone now anyway." Stefan said defensively.
"Lie, Stefan?" Damon challenged. "Did she come here talking about helping people and rainbows or about killing people and blood. She said she wanted the moonstone and she did. I even believe that it was always you she wanted, not me." Damon caught himself making a fist around the phone, stopping only when he heard a crack.
"I said I'd protect Elena." Damon said, almost whispering. "I couldn't even keep her safe for an hour."
"What do you mean? Isn't Elena at her home?" Stefan asked.
"No. She never made it home." Damon said bitterly. "Hope you got a good sulk out of it"
"Are you sure? Where are you?" Stefan wasn't buying yet.
"At her home. Jeremy said she should already be here, but she's not."
"She's probably just walking or visiting someone." Stefan said.
"She's hurt, Stefan." Damon said, but then gave up trying to convince him. "But you finish sulking. I'll find her."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to find out who took her and then I'm going to find her." Damon said.
"How?"
"Going to hell to talk to the devil. I'll bring her back out if I have to, what ever it takes to find Elena. She said she'd do anything. I guess we'll find out." Damon disconnected.
"Wha..?" Stefan began as he heard the phone disconnect. "Hell, devil, she?" he repeated not understanding what Damon meant.
Most won't see it, but those of us who are me can see the TV show starting to align with the "Vampires and Witches and Elena" group of stories. We even have Katherine talking about protecting Elena. All we need now is a pledge of loyalty, more Delena (I'm sure it's coming) and a Stefan who cares enough about Elena that he would not leave her hurt and alone in the dark (not sure the TV show will ever have that)
