Innocence Lost

~BY NAT~

Stefan Salvatore was seventeen when he met the infamous Katherine Pierce.

He was but a shy lonely boy living in the shadow of his father;

obeying his every rule and following his example.

~:~

His father a headstrong and heartless man that believed that demons of the night, were exactly that!

Demons that preyed on the innocent. Thirsty for blood, always on the hunt for their next victim.

Stefan knew different.

~:~

Although Katherine had shown her true colours to him, he remained unafraid.

Knowing she could never truly hurt him. It was but his heart she hungered for not his blood.

~:~

To Stefan Salvatore, Katherine Pierce was an angel sent to rescue him from under his fathers control.

She was his saviour helping see past all prejudice of his fore fathers before him.

~:~

Many generations before him had told of stories; that the demons of the night had but no souls.

No fears. No emotions. They did not know love or friendship.

He was told to fight for survival carrying wooden bullets, weapons & sprigs of a herb to protect oneself against compulsion.

~:~

His father said the demons knew of only one thing...

To look into the eyes of an innocent as they tore into their flesh,

Teeth grinding against bone and blood smears making them beyond recognisable as anything but the casualties of war.

Pieces of the innocent scattered on a battle field that was Mystic Falls. Lost forever.

~:~

Katherine Pierce was no innocent, but to Stefan she was no demon either.

She was beautiful, with doe eyes and a small thin mouth so perfect to kiss;

he imagined many a time she would steer him away into the night,

Never to return.

Making passionate love to her in the safety of the woods were they first met.

~:~

Stefan Salvatore was not a boy under compulsion as his father had tried many times to convince him.

He was under the spell of one Katherine Pierce.

Completely, hopelessly, passionately in love.

His soul yearned for her and her alone. No girl could come close to having his heart like her.

~:~

Katherine looked at Stefan Salvatore the way he looked at her. Full of life, love and desire.

He begged her not too, but she took his life...to save it in return.

Stefan Salvatore woke to the silence of the woods,

~:~

Stefan Salvatore was no longer an innocent.

His skin cold to the touch but his insides were screaming.

Screaming for blood, the blood of the innocent, he was no longer connected to.

His Katherine was gone. Leaving him with the same gift & curse that had taken her from the grasp of humanity.

~:~

His soul felt empty. Full of regret, anger and sadness.

Yet somehow his love for Katherine seemed eternal;

He knew she would come back for him, just as he knew the sun would rise again;

Day after day.

When it was safe for her to return, she would be back for him.

~:~

Once her enemies had been vanquished the demons of the night would return & he would join her.

Until then he had his own demons to face. The ones inside his head & the one inside his soul.

The ripper had been born.

His angel Katherine Pierce had branded him for life.

One day she would come back with the promise of forever to heal his broken soul.

Stefan & Katherine were nowhere near finished.

~:~

May years they would cross each others path. Never knowing, that they might cross again.

This is the story of Stefan Salvatore & the infamous Katherine Pierce.
