Chapter Ten

Gemma was woken up the next morning by her phone ringing, she looked at the screen and saw it was Stefan;

"Hello?" Gemma said sleepily into the phone.

"I woke you up, I'm sorry."

"No, it's fine. What's up?"

"I got your message. I haven't had a chance to find your book." Gemma sat up quickly in her bed and her blanket fell to the floor.

"What's wrong?"

"Elena's missing."

"What?"

"Wes Maxfield took her.."

"I know that name, I think my dad new him.."

"He does these tests on vampires, he had Damon captured for awhile in the 50s."

"What the hell?"

"Yeah, I didn't want to keep you in the dark. We are going to go get her."

"If you need me to come back, please call me.."

"What's going on?"

"Just feeling homesick."

"I'll keep you updated. Gemma, we all miss you."

"I miss you guys too." Gemma smiled into the phone, "bye Stefan."

"Bye Gem." she hung up her phone and heard a knock on her door, it opened and Marcel came inside and closed the door.

"What's wrong?" he said as soon as he looked at Gemma's face, she stood up and went into her closet, she brought out the vintage wedding dress she had bought for the Casket Girl festival.

"My friend, Elena got taken by some crazy guy who does these crazy experiments on vampires."

"I'm really sorry. I hope she is okay."

"Me too." she said from inside the closet, she felt Marcel behind her.

"And where did you get this?" he asked running his hand across her bareback. She reached and buttoned the top button.

"Well I bought the dress from a shop in the Quarter, I got one for Hayley too, I altered bother of them to fit better, and easier to fasten."

"Though Hayley isn't allowed to leave."

"I could easily find a find around that..." she turned and faced Marcel.

"I bet. But I just wanted to see you again." he brought her close, "See you later, beautiful." he was gone before Gemma could say anything. She went over to her vanity and did her makeup. She turned on her curling iron and once it was fully heated she quickly did loose curls. She did a braid that wrapped around her head and finally placed a floral headpiece she bought on the head. She chose to go barefoot. She left her bedroom and swiftly made her way outside, as she passed the living room she heard Marcel, Elijah, and Klaus' talking. She kept walking until she reached the courtyard and saw Rebekah and Hayley looking at other dressed.

"Oh well, look at you." Hayley rang happily, Gemma spun and smiled at her friend, "So the witch is still missing, huh?" Hayley asked Rebekah

"Walked right out the front door, apparently. Know anything about it?" Rebekah questioned. Gemma sat down and listened to the two girls.

"No, although I did tell her that the witch Elders were dead."

"Well, why would she care, when the witches tried to kill her in the ritual?"

"I think it was more that Marcel didn't tell her that the one thing preventing her from being free had been eliminated." Hayley told Rebekah.

"So you are the reason she's run off."
