Lynn frowned watching her cousin sit in one of the chairs at the table. When Bonnie arrived home, it was late and she was downstairs getting a midnight snack when she bumped into her cousin. At first, Lynn smiled happy to see that they made it back safely, but that smiled faded when she noticed that something was wrong. She questioned her but never got an answer. She noticed that Stefan wasn't there so she figured that maybe they had broken up, so she helped her upstairs and laid in the bed with her hoping that she could provide some comfort.

The next morning, she woke up and noticed that Bonnie was already awake and wonders if she even went to sleep last night. She tried talking to her, but again, nothing.

They headed downstairs so Lynn could fix some breakfast, still talking to her and as she finished with the last pancake, she walked over to the table frowning at her cousin's face for a tear had slide down it.

"Bonnie, talk to me, I'm here for you." She rubbed her back some. "Is it about Stefan?" She wanted to avoid saying his name, but hoped that it would get her talking.

Bonnie looked over at her cousin whose eyes held concern. She wanted to tell her, but her brain wouldn't let her. She's still in shock over everything that happened and everything within her felt black.

He's gone, Stefan is gone and it's all because of Damon. She wondered how he found out where they were, how he knew where they would be. She starts to blame herself, she thought that she heard someone call out her name when she went to get the mail yesterday, but didn't tell Stefan about it. Maybe if she told him, he would've been more prepared, but now he's gone and she has no idea where he is, she just hopes that he's still around.

Lynn found her bending over a toilet and quickly rushed to her side rubbing her back as she continued. She felt horrible, she needed to know what was going on so that she could help, but Bonnie wouldn't tell her a word.

They stood together and her shaking hands reached to turn on the water cupping the liquid in her hands, bringing it up to her mouth, spitting it out.

"Bonnie-"

"He's gone. Damon took him from me."

"Who?"

"Stefan. His brother, he found us and knocked him out and took him away. I couldn't do anything to stop it."

Lynn's eyes widened. "W-why would he do that?"

"Because we left him. Damon isn't a good guy, but one day he shows up and asks to be in Stefan's life again. We were already packed to move here and I asked him if he still wanted to move and he said yes, so we did. Damon must've figured out where we were and took him for revenge."

Lynn shook her head no believing that a person could do such a thing. "I'm so sorry, Bonnie. Do you think he'll hurt him?" She regretted asking, but the question left her mouth before she could stop it.

She thought. "No. Hurting him would be too easy,"

Again, Lynn was shocked hearing such a thing and started to wonder if this Damon was some type of psychopath.

She helped get Bonnie cleaned up more before making her eat something. It's been too long since her body has been without food and she knew that her cousin was in shock, but she still needed to eat.

Bonnie thanked her for the pizza and ate two slices. She tried to conceal the feeling, but something is different within her. She knows it's because that Stefan is gone and it's like a piece of her is missing. She's not the same and knew that she wouldn't return unless she gets her Stefan back.

She just hoped that he was okay, that whatever Damon is doing to him, that he survives.

;;;;

Bonnie convinced Lynn that she would be fine alone and that she should go to work so she wouldn't lose her job. A few hours after she left, Bonnie headed out with a stake in her purse just in case Damon decided to take her as well. She would let him just so that she'll be able to see her love, but she would fight her way free. Their way free.

She looked both ways before walking into a tent. She needed answers and figured that seeing a psychic would give that to her. They talked a little on the phone previously just so that she could make sure that he was able to give her the answers that she was seeking.

Bonnie sat in front of him, glad that he didn't have one of those fake crystal ball things and looked into his eyes as he looked into hers. He was reading her, she could tell, so she didn't break contact.

"Bonnie Bennett. Dating a... vampire?"

"That's correct."

He swallowed. "And you're a witch?"

"I'm a what?"

He frowned a little. "You didn't know?"

She shook her head, "No, I- I was clueless. I guess this somewhat explains the feelings I've been having. I feel a whole lot, maybe it's just my powers."

"For someone who was clueless, you're really taking the news well,"

"I'm dating a vampire, I can handle a whole lot more... Although I'll probably faint tomorrow once this truly sets in."

He chuckled causing her to smile a little. "So back to the reason you're here, you need to find your boyfriend. Unfortunately with him being what he is, this doesn't make my job easier. He's dead essentially, but I'll try my best."

Bonnie nodded. "I bought his journal, he writes in it a lot."

Fred took the journal from her hands placing one hand on the cover and the other directly beneath it on the back of the book. She watched him inhale then exhale before he went silent. She closed her eyes as well hoping that this would all work out.

Her eyes popped open hearing him gasp a little then soon, he spoke. "I can feel him. He's near but far, he's still here. I can't get a certain location, but he's here." Bonnie smiled. "You need to find him, Bonnie. I feel that he's fading, he's hanging on but fading. Just as you are."

His eyes opened.

;;;;

It's been a week and every day since visiting Fred, she's printed out fliers and handed them to people walking around whoever she went. She was going about it as someone would when they're trying to find a missing person and figured that the more eyes she had looking out for him, the better.

Night had fallen and after a long day of searching and handing out fliers, she treated herself to a drink at a local bar. She texted Lynn telling her where she was knowing that she's been getting a little concerned lately no matter how often Bonnie kept reminding her that she's fine.

The only reason she's been throwing up lately was because Stefan wasn't with her, when she finds him, all of it would stop.

"Excuse me, you're looking for that boy, right? Er, Stefan?"

Bonne turned to the man with her eyes widening a little, "Yes, have you seen him?"

"I'm not sure, but I think I've seen him lurking around."

"Where?"

"Stefan? Stef?" Bonnie called out slowly opening the door to the abandoned workshop just outside of Miami. "Are you in here? It's me, it's- it's Bonnie."

Her steps were steady and although she wanted to be quick, she needed to be prepared just in case Damon popped up instead. Her hands gripped onto the stake in her bag ready to draw it at anytime.

"I figured it out. I figured out what I'm supposed to do with my feelings. With all of them. Just like you said." She told referring back to seeing the physic.

She rounded the corner then gasped snapping her head to the right when she heard a noise.

"Are you in here? He said- he said that- Hello?"

She stilled seeing a shadow in the shape of a human. "Stef?" Not daring to move, she waited seeing the shadow come closer and let out a breath seeing the guy from the bar. It didn't take her long to realize that this was a setup to get her alone.

"Please don't." She said to him stepping back. She didn't want to hurt him, but she will if he got in the way of her finding Stefan.

When he charged at her, she felt her powers shoot inside her so she held out her hands, "Ahhh!" She screamed letting the power exit her sending the man backward crashing into the drywall.

Her heart was racing not sure how she did that but left quickly before someone else joined the party.

;;;;

Bonnie laid sprawled out on her bed. She was feeling a mixture of emotions one of which was excitement because she's been getting better with her powers each day. Sick because a piece of her was missing causing her body to react negatively. A little hopeless because it seemed that no matter how many fliers she's passed out, no matter how hard she's searched, she got nothing in return. Nothing besides a dead end.

"Knock, knock," Lynn sounded walking in.

Bonnie turned her head and smiled seeing her cousin. "Hey, girl."

"You seem to be getting better," Lynn noted joining her on the bed.

She let out a breath. "I feel a lot of things. But I just want Stefan back."

"Have you heard anything at all?"

"Not yet. I hope something comes soon though."

"I'm sure something will. You passed out thousands of those fliers, someone had to see him around somewhere."

"I just hope that someone is kind enough to actually say something."

Lynn let out a breath and placed her hand on her cousin's shoulder. "How about we go out today? Do a little shopping to distract your mind for awhile. You know what they say, when you're not looking for something, that's when something happens."

She chuckled. "Sure, that sounds like fun. I could use a little distraction, then tomorrow, I'll be back on it."

Lynn nodded then told her that they'd leave in ten minutes.

This was exactly what she needed, Stefan never left her mind, but for the first time in awhile, she didn't think that he was in danger. With her acting like everything was fine, it made it easier to stay positive about Stefan's situation. She even bought a few things for him and bought things that she knew he'd like to see her in.

Lynn smiled feeling like it's been forever since Bonnie's talked so much or smiled so much. She was glad that she was able to help, the last thing she wanted was her cousin depressed so she knew that she had to do something. She was glad that Bonnie was optimistic as well, and she knew so because they've made a few stops in men's stores so she could pick up a few things for Stefan and when she would try things on, she would ask her if she thinks that Stefan would like it. It was great seeing her the slightest of happy since everything happened.

After a long day of shopping, they decided to get something to eat. Lynn didn't get the chance to show her her favorite restaurant so she thought that now was the perfect time.

"I love coming here, the food is amazing."

"I can't wait to taste. I have a major craving for some lasagna."

She chuckled then their waiter came and took their orders.

"So I honestly didn't want to bring it up, but I just have one question."

"Shoot,"

Lynn let out a breath trying to figure out a way to say it. "So Damon shows up while you both were on the beach, kicks Stefan, knocks him out then carries him away? How is all that possible without someone seeing. And I mean you came back without a scratch and I know that you would've tried to fight Damon to let Stefan free. I just- it's so weird to comprehend."

Bonnie nodded then looked down before returning her eyes back to her cousin. "That's because Stefan and his brother, they're…vampires."

Lynn opened her mouth not exactly sure how to respond. Luckily, she was given a few extra seconds to think as their waiter gave them their drinks. "Uhh, I don't think- I mean I want to believe you, but that's just ridiculous."

"I know it is and I know how it sounds, but it's true. And I guess while we're on the topic of the supernatural, I should let you know that I'm a witch."

She sighed. "Bonnie, I, I think this whole thing just caused you to think a little… off? I mean the only "witches" that I know of are in tents telling people their fortune for money."

"Those aren't witches. If you can believe in that then why not believe in a witch?"

"Because that's just ridiculous. This isn't Twilight, this is the actual world."

Their food arrived and were told to enjoy their meal.

"I'll prove it to you. Once we get home, I'll prove to you that what I say about myself is true."

"Okay, and if you can do that, I'll believe what you say about Stefan."

Bonnie nodded agreeing to the deal.

Lynn sat on the couch facing her cousin just watching her stand there.

"Okay, so maybe this wasn't a good idea, I just found out, I don't know any spells. Unless I'm scared and need to defend myself. Oh! I can show you where I used my powers to knock a man into the drywall when he tried attacking me."

"What? When did this happen?" She sat up shockingly.

"It was when everything freshly happened. I was at a bar and this man told me that he thought he saw Stefan lurking around this old house-"

"You actually believed him?"

"I wasn't so much in my right mind then and I needed to find him so I went. I went and called out his name a few times but I didn't hear an answer. I heard this noise maybe a minute in and I turn and I see this shadow and I'm hesitant hoping that it was Stefan, but I kind of knew that it wasn't. So he steps up and I see that it's the guy from the bar then I knew that I've been set up. He starts to charge at me and I feel my powers surfacing but I was scared so I screamed and before I knew it, he was thrown into the wall."

"Then what did you do?"

"I got my ass out of there. I had no idea I had that in me and I didn't want him to wake up and try to go after me so I just came back here."

Lynn blinked a few times. "Wow. Well if that's true, then I do not want to go back over there. He could still be there and I do not want to deal with that."

Bonnie chuckled the joined her cousin on the couch. "So do you believe me?"

She let out a breath. "I guess."

Bonnie shook her head but accepted it.

;;;;

After an exciting day yesterday, today felt like one of the most boring days of her life. Lynn had to go to work leaving her alone with nothing to do.

Instead of staying in all day like she planned, Bonnie decided to go for a walk. Not to pass out fliers, but just to walk. She walked to the beach and looked out to the shore narrowing her eyes seeing some idiot floating in the middle of the ocean. They could get themselves killed for being so far out.

Shaking her head, she kept walking and stopped for a hotdog feeling hungry. She let out a breath after taking a bite realizing that she wasn't in the mood for a hotdog having to throw it away.

"Hello?" She answered her phone.

"Hey, Bonnie, it's John. I was wondering if you're free tomorrow for a shoot."

She thought and figured that doing a little modeling would provide a good distraction from everything. "Yeah, that will be great."

"Alright, I'll text you the info."

After that, Bonnie decided to head home.
