Back to the start{Stelena
Something was wrong....it was very, very wrong. Stefan hadn't come home...he was supposed to take care of Silas and then come home. Leaving Mystic Falls...everyone could use a break from this town...but he wouldn't just leave. Not without telling them or saying goodbye. That second day...the day after Stefan went missing, she had called him....and each day after that.... Until finally the phone just stopped ringing all together. She didn't know what to do...only that she had to find him....With no idea where to start looking....and considering no one in town had seen him since he had left... She knew where to start...no matter how pointless she thought it would be... Arriving at the cliff, slamming on the breaks....there was Stefan's car. Getting out, leaving the door open. "Stefan??" Elena called out...frantically looking around. "Stefan?!" Still no answer. Where is he....
Stopping only when she reached the edge...She had heard they were supposed to drop Silas down..had something happened...Why had they even let him go alone. There was only one way to find out.....Shoving her jacket off, tossing it to the ground...she pushed off the cliff, diving into the water bellow. She kicked to the surface after she hit the water...letting herself adjust and with a deep breath she dove under... Elena didn't find the safe right away...it took her a few tried...but when she finally did spot it....It took one last trip up before forcing herself all the way down. The safe...she turned the handle...twisting as hard as she could until it gave and the door opened. What she saw made her freeze...and she nearly let out all the air she was holding in. Grabbing Stefan..pulling him out, she pushed away from the safe.
Elena broke past the surface, with one arm she did her best to hold Stefan up as well. Her head turned from one side, and to the other....from where she had come from....the cliff...clearly she wasn't going to get back up that way....The shore....her best bet....To the left it was closer or at least it appeared to be that way.....Wincing, she shifted her weight, turning so that a majority of his weight was being supported by her body..... "Just-hold on..." He was unconscious...dead, for the time being. Chills ran down her spine...she felt as if she could literally be sick thinking of how horrifying this was...how much pain he had gone through. Right now...all she could focus on was keeping him safe. She kicked as hard as she could, with her free arm swimming through the water with Stefan. It took time....she couldn't say how long exactly... twenty minutes at least...if not more. By the time she made it to the shore, she was breathing heavily... dragging him out of water and finally on the dry land.
On his back, Elena dropped to her knees beside him. "Stefan....?" Elena called his name, pushing her hair out of her face... Finally getting the chance to look him over for the first time since pulling him from out of the safe. "Stefan...." Moving over...he wasn't breathing...his heart not beating... Leaning down, right now was way past thinking....Turning his head, tilting it back... She was gentle with her actions...hating to see him so weak.. She parted his lips, leaning down she connected their lips...Forcing air into his mouth... Her hands moved to his chest, one, two, three, four...she pushed with a steady pace...and her lips were on his again...She repeated this process several times... He was going to be okay...he had to be okay.
