LOST - Lorenzo St. John (Enzo)

•TWENTY•

After breaking up with Enzo, and then finding Bonnie's bear, I decided that I needed to be productive. I didn't want to sit around drinking all day until I began regretting everything.

And so here I find myself in Portland with Stefan, Ric and Damon to find the Gemini Coven AKA our best lead to getting Bonnie back.

"Hey, were you guys invited to friendsgiving?" Stefan questioned Damon and I as he raked through the trunk of the car.

"Of course. Caroline demanded I bring string beans." Damon replied to Stefan.

"Nope." I shook my head. " I think the whole, not really caring if Caroline's mother died got me automatically uninvited. Why? Were you not invited?"

"Nope." Stefan said, annoyance clear in his voice.

"Oh, boy." Damon slightly laughed. "You messed with the wrong girls feelings."

Stefan closed the trunk and we made our way over to Alaric who was on the phone to Elena, explaining the situation to her.

"Why wouldn't I consult you in a decision that might permanently change your life? Hmm." Damon spoke as he listened into the phone call, hearing Elena question why nobody told her about Bonnie.

"Damon and Ellie didn't want to get your hopes up. They honestly thought Bonnie died trying to free them." Ric quickly told her. "But if she sent her teddy bear over it could mean she's still-

"Alive." Elena quickly cut him off. "Oh my God, Bonnie's still alive."

"Yeah, so we're in Portland right now trying to track down some Gemini thing." Alaric told Elena and I could hear how ecstatic she was on the other end of the phone.

"Hey." Stefan called out to Ric from behind me. "You might want to keep this news to yourself, I tracked this lead months ago and it was a dead end."

Ric rolled his eyes before saying goodbye to Elena and ending the call.

"Is that the reason Caroline assigned me the turkey and the cranberries?" Ric questioned as he walked beside Damon. "Stefan wasn't invited."

"See what you did? Now we're pulling your weight!" Damon teased. "I really hope you figure this out before Christmas."

"Yeah I'm glad all of you are finding this amusing." Stefan rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Why don't you just date her and put us all out of our misery?" I suggested and Damon nodded in agreement.

Stefan sighed before speaking up. "I don't think about her that way. She's my friend."

"And she'd make a great girlfriend." I fired back, raising my eyebrow.

"Exactly." Damon and Ric said in sync.

We came to the end of the long dirt road to see nothing, only a large field.

"Ah look, the Gemini Coven... Just like it was four months ago." Stefan announced, gesturing to the empty field in front of us. "Look it's not here, can we go home now?"

"Check the GPS again." Ric suggested.

"Yeah." I nodded. "Just because we don't see anything, doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

"Not unlike Caroline's feelings for Stefan." Damon commented, causing Ric and I to laugh as Stefan Glared.

"Hilarious." Stefan rolled his eyes as he checked the GPS on his phone.

Damon held up Ms. Cuddles, putting on a high voice as if she was speaking. "Oh, no, is Stefan feeling sensitive about ruining his friendship with Caroline? She really liked him, and he broke her heart."
