Where's Elena?

Mira's POV

I'm putting my hair up into a messy bun as Jeremy brushes his teeth. Grayson is head and downstairs with Jenna. I'd be back around lunch time. Jeremy rinses his mouth and calls "yo Elena!" But receives no answer and we share a look. We go to her room and see it's empty. Her bed hadn't been slept in.

"Strange, I'll call Carol" I tell Jeremy. He nods and I do so. Turns out Elena's car is still at the Lockwoods. "Could she of spent the night at Stefan's?" I ask Jeremy as I drive us to school.

"I don't know, when she called me last night. She said she was going home to sleep" he states. "I'll talk to Stefan" he tells me. I nod my head. I park and we go our separate ways. I head over to Tyler's locker. I see Tyler try to open it but accidentally pulls off the dial.

"Guess you have super strength now" I say sheepishly.

"Mira" he says and hugs me tightly.

"Ty, can't breath" I say and he loosens his grip as I hug him back. "It'll be ok" I assure him. "I'm gonna do some research later" I add.

"Caroline seems to know something, so I'm going to talk to her later" he states. "She was there when it happened and covered for me" he adds.

"She's a good friend" I tell him. "If she decides to help too, there'll be nothing we can't do" I state.

"I wish I had your optimism" he mutters. "Talk later?" he asks and I nod my head. I hug him again before heading for my locker. I spot Stefan.

"Hey, Stefan did Jeremy find you?" I ask.

"Yes he did and Elena's missing" he states.

"Missing?" I ask shocked.

"I called Damon, we'll handle it" he assures me.

"It's my twin sister, I want to help" I tell him.

"I thought you were starting half days today" he states.

"Screw school, my sister is more important. Where's Jeremy?" I ask him.

"Getting Bonnie" he states. I go look for them and find them  in Ric's classroom.

"Mira, can I borrow some blood?" Bonnie asks me. "I want to do a locator spell, to try find Elena" she states. I nod my head as Jeremy lays out a map.

"How does this is work?" Jeremy asks her.

"I'll use Mira's blood to draw energy for the tracking spell. As she is blood related and Elena's twin; it'll make the connection stronger" Bonnie explains. As Stefan joins us.

"Alright, Alaric said we've got to clear out of here within ten minutes. I've got weapons, he stocked me up"  he tells us. We nod our heads. I give my hand to Bonnie and she cuts it. My blood falls on the map. Bonnie concentrates herself to cast the spell. The blood drops and merge into one and goes toward Elena's location.

"There. She's there" Bonnie states when the blood stops moving.

"That's three hundred miles away" Jeremy states.

"No, Bonnie. We need a more exact location than that" Stefan tells her.

"That's as close as I can get" Bonnie admits.

"We can map it, aerial view will show us what's around there, help us narrow down the area" Jeremy states.

"Perfect. Call me with whatever you find" Stefan tells him.

"No, no, I'm coming with you!" Jeremy states.

"We both are" I add.

"No, you need to get home to Grayson. But, I'm going" Jeremy states.

"No Jeremy, you're not" Stefan tells him.

"No, I'm gonna just sit here. What if she's hurt okay?" Jeremy asks.

"She's not. You three go back to your house just in case. I'll call you the minute I find her" Stefan states.

"You can't go alone" I tell him.

"He won't, lets go" Damon tells Stefan.

"You're coming with me?" Stefan asks.

"It's Elena" Damon tells him and they leave. Jeremy does the search and send the coordinates for an abandoned house near where Elena is. It was the only thing for miles, it had to be where Elena is. So he sent the info to Stefan as promised.

The three of us got to the house and I releave Jenna of baby sitting duties. Ric then took Jenna out, so that she wouldn't ask about Elena. We're in Jeremy's room. Bonnie suddenly gets up and rushes over to her handbag. She takes the grimoire and sits on Jeremy's bed with him. I'm at his desk with Grayson.

"What are you doing?" Jeremy asks her as she flips through the grimoire.

"There's something else I want to try" Bonnie states. She shows the spell to Jeremy. Who said he didn't get it. "I need a candle. Grab Elena's hairbrush" she tells us. I go to get Elena's hair brush, while Jeremy gets the candle.

"What's all this stuff for?" Jeremy asks when we rejoin Bonnie. Who had written a note.

"I know it's crazy but I might be able to get her a message" she states crumpling up the piece of paper. She holds it in her hand above the candle and opens it. She closes her eyes to cast the spell. The paper is burning. Jeremy's tries to stop her as her nose begins to bleed but she keeps going. The paper disappears.

She smiles and blacks out. She falls backwards unconscious on Jeremy's bed. Jeremy tries to rouse her by shaking her. "Bonnie!" he exclaims. I rush to the bathroom and get a wet cloth. I clean her face and dab it with the cool damp cloth.

She soon wakes and Jeremy gets her a glass of water. "What happened? You scared the hell out of us" he tells her.

"It's nothing" Bonnie tells him.

"It wasn't nothing, Bonnie" he snaps.

"He's right, you nose blood and you passed out" I state as I bounce Grayson.

"I've been doing a lot of magic lately. It wears me down" Bonnie tells us.

"When I'm worn down, I take a nap. You were...you were unconscious" Jeremy states.

"Witchcraft has its limits. If I push too hard, it pushes back" Bonnie states.

"How do you know all this?" we asks her.

"It's all in here; it's like a reminder that I'm not invincible" Bonnie tells us. Motioning towards the grimoire. "Please...don't...don't tell anyone" she pleads.

"Why not?" Jeremy asks her.

"Because it's a weakness and I don't want certain people to know that" she states.

"By certain people, you mean Damon" I state.

"I mean anyone that can hurt me" she corrects me.

"I won't tell anyone, okay? I promise" Jeremy assures her.

"Same" I agree reluctantly.

"It's hard, you know? My grams is gone and my dad, he doesn't want to know about what I am. He hasn't since my mom left. I'm all alone in this" Bonnie tells us.

"It's how I feel a lot of the time, alone" Jeremy tells her.

"Neither of you are alone" I assure them.

"Do you think that worked?" Jeremy asks referring to the note.

"I have no idea" she admits.

(Time skip)

I had just put Grayson down for his afternoon nap when Elena returns home. I race downstairs and join her hug with Jeremy. "I'm so glad you're ok" I tell her. She smiles and looks over at Bonnie.

"I got your message" she states. Bonnie smiles and they hug. Jeremy then drove Bonnie hom while Elena goes to have a shower. Still in the same bloody clothes as last night.

(Salvatore house) Third Persons POV

Damon is pouring himself a glass of scotch and drinks it. Stefan arrives. "Where's Elena?" Damon asks him.

"She's home" Stefan answers.

"And you're here, why?" Damon asks.

"Because she wanted to be with Jeremy and Mira" Stefan states. Damon hands him a glass of scotch and pours another glass for himself. "Thanks. Listen, um, what Rose told Elena about the curse" he says.

"I know, we'll keep her safe. Along with Mira" Damon assures him.

"You know, the only way we're gonna be able to do that is if we're not fighting each other. We let Katherine come between us. If we let that happen with Elena, we're not gonna be able to protect her or Mira" Stefan tells him.

"Yes Stefan, I heard it all before" Damon mutters.

"Hey, I'm sorry" Stefan tells him.

"About what?" he asks.

"For being the guy who made you turn 145 years ago" Stefan tells him.

"Enough Stef, it's late. Don't need to rehash that" Damon tells him.

"You know what? I've never said it out loud. I guess I just need to say it and you need to hear it. I'm sorry. What I did was selfish. I didn't want to be alone. I guess I just needed my brother" Stefan tells him.
