Or rather, she doesn't know how it didn't end up happening. They'd all but lost hope and somehow, the ceremony they were ready to welcome with open arms if it meant an end didn't come to pass. The events of the past five hours occurred far too quickly for her to process and there's no time to stop.
Once they were saved from the ceremony and they attacked Lucien at his most vulnerable, no time was wasted. Those that were injured were all carried into two separate vans and it sped off, leaving Chicago behind. She isn't sure where they are, though they couldn't have gone too far. Just stopped at the most remote motel they saw to hide in until they received news.
No sooner has Elena stepped out of the van, she's walking, her laser focus keeping her from being aware of anything else. Jeremy is alive and safe. They are all, somehow, miraculously alive and safe.
"I need to see him."
The words come out urgently, almost beseeching, though she has no idea who she'd be begging to.
She doesn't want to rest and she doesn't want to heal and she doesn't want to eat. She just needs to see Ethan. She needs him to see her. Elena wasn't allowed to say a word to him when she was brought out for the ceremony. She wasn't allowed to get close to him and she tried. She fought shackles and she yelled at him from her spot, rings of fire keeping them all separate. She fought as hard as she could
The ceremony will remain unfinished, and Lucien is most likely dead.
They're still waiting for confirmation before they can decide what the next step is, and Elena can't be bothered to sit around and wait for it. She can't even be bothered to pray and hope that the monster is dead even if it's all she wants.
Well, not all she wants.
"I need to see him," she repeats stubbornly, pushing past whoever was obstructing her path. She keeps moving down the hallway, quickening her steps. There are several rooms which have been booked and she needs to know which one Ethan is in. "Ethan?" she asks, her voice loud enough to reach past the walls and doors. "Ethan!"
She simply isn't going to stop until she finds him.
