If It Wasn't For You

Who Are You?

Damon

Where the hell did Stefan go? Right when I was about to tell him what is going on he wants to disappear? Just like baby bro to run when the going gets tough instead of staring it in the face. I need to find him soon if I'm going to use him. I was going to give him a choice but now...He has no choice. Time to visit an old friend.

*********** 

I grabbed my leather jacket and hopped in my car. I sped to the familar house that I used to visit all the time when I wanted answers or just a snack if you know what I mean. When I arrived to the house I was wafted with the aroma of herbs and spices. I walked up to the one story, rotting house. It had ivory growing all over the house. You couldn't even see the shutters or the door for that matter. I went to the door and knocked.

"Damon Salvatore, I smelled you the moment you stepped out of the car." My old time friend Salwa said.

"Still mesmerizing am I?" I said with a dazzling smile. She returned it and ushered me inside.

"What can I do for you handsome?" she said while walking towards her kitchen where all her concotions and potions were brewing.

"Well, first I lost my brother so can you do a locator spell, and I need you to do something big if you can?"

"Of course I would do anything for you Damon." she smiled and started to work. Being a vampire has its benefits

Elena

"Why, Hello Elena." said a person I couldn't see but I feel as if they are standing right in front of me.

"Who are you? Where are you? What do you want?" I said while spinning around rapidly trying to find the source for this voice.

"All your questions will be answered in due time my darling but right now I need you to listen. You are in terrible danger and need to be aware of your surroundings at all times. Don't trust anyone that seems suspicious. When I say don't trust anyone, I'm your pretty little friends in that house over there. When you get home there will be a box on your bed. Open it and put it on and NEVER take it off. The moment you do, you will regret it. All of this is for your safety Elena Gilbert. Mystic Falls needs you the most right now."

"What? Why me? I don't know what's going on? Why can't I trust my friends?" I said completely flustered, I have no idea what's going on. I'm so scared.

"In due time darling, due time..." The voice trailed off. While I was listening to the voice it seemed to have a sort of angelic tone to it, a very trusting tone to it. My instincts were telling me to run home. That's exactly what I did.When I got home I searched the house for signs of life. I found Jenna in the kitchen washing dishes.

"Hey Jenna." I said as I sat down at our kitchen table.

"Hey sweetheart. Aren't you supposed to be at girls night?" She asked.

"Yeah but girls night turned to boys night and it wasn't fun anymore so I came home. Oh by the way did something come for me today?" I asked as I watched her vigorously scrub a pan with left over lasagna.

"Uh yeah sweetie I put it on your bed. What is it?"

"I dont know. But I'm gonna go find out then head to bed night Jenna." I said then went up the oak stairs towards my room.

When I walked into my room I saw. A little blue box sitting on top of my purple queen sized bed. I picked up the box and the enveloped that laid on top of it. The note said:

Dear Elena,

This pendant will help keep evil away from you and help you find the answers to all your questions. Your life is a very important and should be protected at all times. You won't be alone in your journey though it may feel like it. You can only trust the people with the most shocking of secrets. Learn those secrets and you find your allies. I will never be far from you and always looking over you. 

Sincerely, 

An Old Friend

An old friend? What does that even mean? I opened the box and inside was a ruby pendant on a chain the size of a quarter. I put it on and a sense of calm washed all over me. I showered and went to sleep with thought that I had my first day of senior year in the morning.

A/N

I put a picture of Tyler Lockwood off to the side, though he's not really in this chapter. He's still fun to look at though. mmm. :)
