Everyone else had gone home to try and see if they could do anything else in trying to find Stefan. The exception of that being Caroline and Bonnie. After all, they were my best friends; the very few people left in Mystic Falls who knew me better than I knew myself. They had done everything in an attempt to get me out of my slump: Disney movie marathons with lots of fattening foods.

It had been almost four hours since we had started the movies, and the I was starting to feel drowsy, and had sent Bonnie back home to Damon. I tried to do the same with Caroline, but the blonde had put her foot down.

"Elena, I'm your best friend who loves you. You didn't let me go through my breakup with Tyler alone, even though he wasn't my soulmate, do you really think I'm going to let you go through thing agony of Stefan being gone?" The more I thought about it, the more she realized how truthful I was being, and had given up with a sigh. "Now, that's my girl. Let's get you to bed," Caroline laughed.

"Whatever you say, mom," I laughed and made my way to the bed. Caroline followed my lead and laid next to Elena. "It's basically like freshman year all over again. So much has changed," I sighed. The blonde nodded understandably. "Not that I'd take it back though. We've all meant amazing people because of it." We had both known who exactly I was talking about, but saying his name would crush me from the inside out, and I wasn't ready for that. My best friend had wrapped her arms around my waist, as a way to ensure anything I felt, she would too. My eyes had finally fluttered, knowing that Caroline would do anything and everything in her power to keep me safe.

We had awoken in the morning,  groaning and moaning. Picking up our phones, we were greeted with the voices of Damon Salvatore and Klaus Mikealson.

"Rise and shine, Elena. Time to back sure you don't get killed by whoever comes after," Damon's reassuring voice had greeted me through the phone first thing in the morning.

Klaus's message to Caroline was full of much more love, however. "Love, we have lots of work to do to keep you and your loved ones safe."

Both of the boys had instructed us to meet us in the woods, also stating that the witch Klaus had sent down from New Orleans had arrived. We had quickly put on clothes, not bothering wearing anything specific it was inevitable we were going to get dirty.

Walking to the woods, we were greeted with four other people: Bonnie, Klaus, Damon, and the witch Klaus had thought was strong enough to help Bonnie. I took her features in. She had cascading brown eyes with equally chocolate brown eyes, and tan skin. It was no surprise that one of the Mikealsons had fallen in love with her.

She had made her way around all of us, except for Klaus, making her introductions. A quick "hi" and handshake. That was until she got to Bonnie.

"Hi, I'm Davina." The minute their hands touched, it was as if the universe was celebrating. I knew that Bonnie had never met any other witches than those in her family, so this was a new experience for her. "You must be the Bennett witch." At those words, the wind had picked up speed, moving the hair around my face and the leaves off the floor. "Klaus has told me lots about you." The two witches shared smiles, and Davina took her place next to Bonnie.

"Well, now that we've all been formally introduced to my brother's girl, should we start training?"

We had all nodded our heads left and went to train with who'd we were assigned to the day before: Klaus with Caroline, Bonnie with Davina, and myself with Damon. It felt weird since training with Damon was part of what got us to be a couple in the first place, but I wouldn't let it happen this time.

"Let's do this then, Damon. Anything to help Stefan," I muttered, walking off with him.
