"I think I found something" Stefan said as he looked directly at Jeremy and then at his older brother.
Everyone held their breath. After days of coming up empty handed they had finally found something that may be a lead.
"What is it? Tell me!" Jeremy urged the younger Salvatore brother on, stepping closer and grabbing his arm. He didn't want to get his hopes up just for it to be destroyed again.
He had thought that Slater could have helped him. Ayla had told him how he knew a lot about vampires and he thought that surely one of them could be of use.
Damon stood up and walked around the couch and next to Jeremy, everyone in the room looking at the blonde expectantly.
"I found Ayla's old phone. At first I was confused why she had kept it and tried to turn it on. As soon as I turned it on a bunch of messages came trough. The weird thing is that she has only two contacts, Luke and someone who she saved as 'blonde olive'."
Stefan made a pause to see how they would react or if someone in the room recognized the name.
"so? that's really not helpful, Stef." Damon muttered, getting impatient. He needed to know if there was a way to get his sister back, not to find out about his sisters acquaintances.
"Except, it is. I checked the messages, old to knew. It seems like Ayla and Luke were in a relationship and she was really close with the blonde olive, who I think is Luke's sibling or cousin, because now comes the important part.
The messages which were sent after Ayla turned off this phone seemed really interesting. I gathered that Ayla must have left without a trace, because it seemed as though Luke was really concerned that he couldn't get in contact with her.
Then at the same time 'olive' wrote her how she had left Luke blah blah, basically some angry texts which are irrelevant, but then I found something. 'Olive' wrote 'To hell with the coven, why would you leave after you promised Luke to find a way to help us with the merge"
"Wait, are you saying that Ayla was together with a witch?" Damon displayed a disgusted face, as everyone just tried to process everything Stefan was saying.
Jeremy felt a twinge of jealousy but he pushed it away, Ayla was his and once he got her back he would never let her out of his sight again. His condition was worsening the longer he was away from his soulmate.
At some point he had wondered if he would die at this rate, but something seemed to keep him grounded. A string pulling him back to reality every time he thought about it. He couldn't explain it, he assumed it was the fact that Ayla was still alive, but just not by his side.
"Come to the point." Jeremy said in an angry tone. He was starting to lose his temper. If Stefan knew something he should just spit it out already.
"Yeah, uh. Right, so, I looked up what a merge is and couldn't really find anything so I went to Bonnie's house and looked trough Sheila's witch stuff. I found out that there is a coven of witches in Portland who have this ritual called a merge. The details are, once again irrelevant, because between those pages I found a news paper article.
