Lost and Found

Chapter 18

Elena Pov

I slept so peacefully and sweetly last night. Yet somehow I'm the first one awake. I just had a shower and ordered some breakfast but Sam and Dean are still out cold. I know my way around this town better than anyone so maybe one final look around can't hurt. I rip off a note from the night stand. Gone for a walk. -E

Sam and Dean won't be up for another hour or so. There are a few spots I want to stop by before I leave Mystic Falls. One more than the others.

I close the door quietly behind me as I exit the room and skip down the hallway feeling awake.

"Coffee to go, thanks! I order from the counter at a small cafe beside Mystic Grill. I look across the street to see three girls having a picnic; Caroline, Bonnie and I would do that every week. "Miss" I take the large cup of coffee from the barista's hand and walk towards the way I want to go.

I cross my legs over in a comfy position and pull out my diary. Miranda and Grayson Gilbert. Loving parents and friends. My parents' graves. "It's been awhile since I've come and seen you both. I'm no longer living In Mystic Falls anymore. I'm living in Kansas in a bunker with Sam and Dean Winchester. Dean's real hard work but as Sam says he's a softy. Sam is still like my teddy bear. It's good to be with the boys again, but it's different now. I miss you both I really do but I'm going to be okay. I promise" my words start to become notes. I write down a letter as if I was writing to my parents. Then to a girl that died. Me. Part of me died when I was kidnapped. I get up from my spot and walk a few feet across to the Salvatore Crypt. Now it's time to say goodbye to Stefan and I mean really say goodbye. I pull out the herbs and candles as well as the spell I found in the law on the net.

Flashback

Sam and Dean don't have to know about this. They're still asleep and I'm not so I'm going to do what I need to do for me. Talking to the dead. It's an easy spell and the ingredients are all in the trunk of the Impala. Luckily we got a room with a printer for an odd reason but it comes in handy now. I print out the spell and retrieve it from the printer. I shove the spell into my bag and hurry out to the car to get the ingredients.

All ingredients go in my black bag. Now I'll get to say my goodbyes.

End of flashback

I put the candles in a circle in the middle of the crypt and sprinkle the herbs around the candle. non visum videre Invisibilia loqui, veni ad me Stefan Salvatore. Dolores inferni circumdederunt. (See the unseen, talk to the unseen. Come to me Stefan Salvatore. I call upon you). The herbs in front of me start spinning around like a dust storm. I squint my eyes closed as there is a flash of light. I open my eyes. "Elena" it worked. As long as the candles don't go out then the person remains in the place they're summoned. I rush over to Stefan and wrap my arms around him. "You did a spell, didn't you?" Stefan says knowing the answer. "I never got to say goodbye" which is the truth. I let go of Stefan to see him smiling. Tiny tears fall out but I'm not sad. "I'm at peace. I'm with Lexi but I did what I had to do to find a way to find you even if it wasn't me who found you" Stefan talks with symphony but he really is peaceful. "Always the hero. Thank you Stefan" I say the last three words that I wish I didn't have to say right now. "Those Winchester's of yours do their job well. You're different too. More badass" I start to laugh at what he goes on about. Stefan compliments me with other things. "Okay stop, Is Jeremy at peace?" I ask the question with worry not knowing where my brother is. "Actually you can ask him yourself" Stefan takes a hold of my hand and starts speaking in another language. "Oh my god" I stutter as I look to the right of Stefan to see my brother. "It's really you" I cry out. Jeremy places his arms around me and holds me tight. "I'm so sorry Jer, it's all my fault that you're dead" the tears start to fall faster and frequently. "It's not your fault Elena. I'm with mum and dad and Aunt Jenna. Stefan and Lexi sneak their way into my heaven to check on me a lot too" Jeremy really is okay. Jeremy lets go of me but I can't take my eyes off either of them. "I just needed to know you both were at peace and to say goodbye. Now I don't want you to leave. I could find a way to bring you back if I can't find a way to bring you both back then I'll do it one at a time" before I can finish ranting Jeremy and Stefan put their hands on each of my shoulders. "We're both okay Elena. Don't live your life trying to find a way to bring us back, just live your life. Kick some demon ass Sis" Jeremy and Stefan demand me. "I love you both so much" It's time to let them go. I can't have this spell up for too long. "I love you too" is related twice. With final hugs I close my eyes and bend down to each candle and stop at the last one. "Bye" I whisper out and blow out the final candle.
