Elena and Stefan had put aside their plans to track down this Clint vampire and ask him for help, find out what he was really about. It had been at least a month since they'd gone to visit Damon and fed him. They couldn't go too long between feedings or else Damon was going to dessicate and that was something that Elena would never let happen to him. He had... gotten this way trying to save her and Stefan. She hated him for leaving her but she loved him for being a hero. It was a fine line to walk. She was only grateful that she could still communicate with him if she sat next to him. That link between them was unbreakable.

Or was it? Elena had been feeling a strange emptiness inside of her for the past twenty four hours and she wasn't entirely sure why. She just knew that it had something to do with Damon. She was afraid, afraid that he had finally died and that there was nothing she and Stefan could do about it. They had tried everything to wake Damon up, exhausted every option they could think of including the magical ones. But there was nothing. The dreamwalker had Damon right where she wanted him and he was going to spend eternity like this. Sleeping Beauty.

There were a few problems with this fairytale. First of all, since when did the princess fall in love with the prince's brother? That was just one of the complications. The other was that he had woken up and it hadn't been with the princess's kiss. Something else had done it. And that was the best case scenario, someone had woken Damon up. The worst case scenarios ranged somewhere between kidnapping and murder. She could see the dust on the bed right around where Damon had slept and the bare place where he had lain.

She finally lifted her eyes to look at Stefan's. "What could have done this? Do you think he's awake?" she asked him. If he was awake, he was probably disoriented and they needed a wake to track him. And Elena needed to figure out a way to explain a few things.
