Motel Room
Elena groggily awakens. She spots Ben sitting in a chair by the end of the bed, sleeping. She gasps and sits up frantically. Elena looks around for a way out and stares at the front door. She looks from Ben to the door, estimating if she can make it without waking him.

Quietly, Elena slides off the bed and slowly steps over Ben's outstretched leg. She slowly backs up to the door, keeping an eye on Ben. Elena unlocks the deadbolt on the door, looking back at Ben occasionally. Elena turns the lock on the door and prepares to open it

"I wouldn't" Ben says as Elena gasps

Salvatore Boarding House
Stella and Ryan make out in the car.

"Feeling better huh" Stella says as she gently backed away

Ryan look at her with his beautiful blue eyes. "Never felt any better" he says with smile as he gently pulls her back in

They both stop when they hear a car door being shut. They look to Stella's side of the window as they see a very tensed Stefan walking towards the boarding house

"Is he alright?" Ryan asks as Stella looks back at him

"It's a long story. I...uh, I should go. Make sure he's ok" she says as Ryan nods. She takes one last look at him and goes in for one last, long kiss.

She proceeds to get out of the car and look down at him once she was on her feet.

"Drive safely" She says as he smiles and slowly nods. "I mean it" she says as Ryan throws his hands up jokingly

"Ok ok" he says with a small chuckle

Damon is in the study, reading through Emily's grimoire. Stefan enters the room with an anxious look on his face. Damon does not look up at him

"Anna took Elena" Stefan says anxiously

"Yeah, I got that from your 600 voice mails." Damon says as Stefan strides across the room towards him

"Damon, all night long, every single street in town, I've been searching. What if your blood hasn't passed out of her system?" Stefan responds as Stella enters the room

Damon doesn't take a single glance "Well, then at least you know you'll see her again"
...
"But see, I also know you have just as much reason to hate me. This all began with me. Katherine got taken away from you because of me. And I'm sorry." Stefan says trying to level with Damon as he finally was making eye contact with him while they both sit on the couch, Stella watching from the entrance of the study

"Apology accepted" Damon states as he takes a small glance at his sister. She furrows her eyebrows

"So please, just tell me what you know." Stefan pleads

"Huh, well what do you think Stelz? Should I tell him what I know" he says with a mix of sincerity and sarcasm.

Stella nods her head no, knowing he was trying to mess with Stefan. "Don't" she said with a death stare

Stefan looks from Stella to Damon worriedly "It's Elena, Damon. If you know something, tell me."

Damon stands up and Stefan mimics him, looking at Damon with anxiety

"I mean this sincerely" Damon responds as Stefan nods, anticipating his answer. Stella wondering, hoping it's a pleasant answer "I hope Elena dies."
Damon manages to get out as he walks past Stefan, leaving him with mixed emotions.

Damon walks past Stella.

"You're a dick" she states not looking at him.

Damon stops in his tracks, both of them looking away from each other as they stood side by side.
