*Do not read if not up to date with The Vampire Diaries Season 4 finale. This is how I'd like season 5 to go. There are no set characters, just the whole cast.*
*STEFAN*:
''So you're one of them too?" I asked confused.
"Not exactly" He said, and when I looked at his face again, it was like looking in the mirror. "Hello my shadow-self. Do you know what it feels like to starve for 2000 years?"
ME? I was his DOPPELGÄNGER? How was this possible? Before I got time to process this new information, he stabbed me. The pain was uncontrollable for a minute. How could I have lived this long, to die like this? This wasn't how I was supposed to go. I looked into his eyes, and still, somehow, there was a difference between him and i. By just looking at him, I could tell he was an imposter. That was my only hope now. That someone back home would notice this too.
While I was weak, he threw me into the safe and locked it. I tried my best to prevent him from getting it closed but I wasn't strong enough. A 165 year old wounded vampire against a 2000 year old one was obviously going to end badly.
Before I knew it, I could feel myself being thrown into the air. Then within seconds, I could feel the friction of the safe hitting something. Water. The safe was filling with the stuff and I had no way out. Nothing I could do. The door would open. I began panicking. Banging at the door, but it was no use. It wasn't going to work. This is it, I thought to myself. I'm a goner.
My life flashed before my eyes, my days in 1864 with Damon, my father and Katherine. How simple life was back then. Barely a worry. Then, I saw my time with Lexi, how she helped me through my ripper stages, she was my rock. And finally, I saw Elena. My one true love that chose my brother over myself. I was heartbroken. It was then that I realised that I was ready to die. My life was hell now. Death seemed like the easier option. So I opted for that.
**SILAS**
Now, all I had to do was wait. I got rid of my beloved doppelgänger at last. For now, though, I had to continue Stefan's life, as if nothing happened. As if he dumped me. I considered taking the truck, but I had no idea how to drive the blasted thing, so instead, I walked back to Mystic Falls. I didn't like it here, but I had to do this. For now, I'd tell them that I was leaving town.
On my way back to Mystic Falls, I heard someone shouting 'Stefan'. At first I paid no attention to it, then I realised that my shadow self was Stefan. I stopped and glanced around. It was that blonde Barbie that Stefan befriended.
"Hey…. What's up Caroline?" Luckily, I had memorised all their names. Since mystic falls was a small place, I didn't have many names to remember.
"I can't find Bonnie. She put the veil up last night and she hasn't returned. It's not like her."
"Oh, she was acting a bit strange yesterday too, wasn't she?" I had to think of something, I didn't know exactly what was going on, but I knew that it was Bonnie's last day alive, so she had to be acting unusual I thought.
"Yeah, let's go to where she put the veil down, maybe she might still be there."
"No, i… I am, have to go and do something first. Sorry Caroline."
"No, Stefan! You have to help me find her. She is my best friend! Nothing will happen, Silas is gone, and we are all fine! Whatever you have to do can wait. COME ON!" She begged.
I grabbed her by the throat and pushed her against a tree. "NO CAROLINE. I can't. I have more important things to do than find your witch friend." I then realised what I had just said. This wasn't Stefan. Stefan helped whatever way he could. "Sorry, Car. I'm a bit stressed out since Elena chose Damon over me tonight."
"I know. I'm sorry. And it's fine. Just please come with me, I'll try to help you afterwards then Stefan."
"Ok Car." I gave an unconvincing smile. She may be pretty, but she is so damn annoying that I wish I could rip the head off her.
We searched the area for Bonnie but she was nowhere to be found. Not a trace of her. Suddenly, we heard a movement, like someone was walking toward us. But Bonnie was dead, I knew that, so who was coming toward us? Caroline stepped back closer to me, she hugged into me as we walked very carefully closer.
Then, the male figure came into view.
"JEREMY?" screamed Caroline. "How are you still here?!" She ran over to him and gave him a huge hug. Then she pulled back for a moment. "Wait, how do I know you're not Silas?"
"I'm not. Silas is dead, isn't he?"
"Yes, Caroline. Silas is dead. I buried him myself. If he were alive, that would mean Bonnie would be dead now" I smirked looking over toward young Gilbert.
"Okay, fine! Where's Bonnie?" She asked again.
"Before Bonnie put the veil up, she did a spell to bring me back. She told me this after she done it. She's, um… she's away to her mom's house for the summer. Her mom rang and needed her there for a while." He explained cautiously. I knew he was lying. That little witch was dead. And I wanted to shout it out, but I couldn't. I was 'Stefan'.
"Look, guys I gotta go. Keep in touch, right!" I said. I was convincing.
"Why where are you going Stefan?" Caroline asked, concerned. "You're acting so weird since you dumped Silas."
"Sorry. It's the Damon-Elena thing. I'm going off to New York for a bit. I need some alone time to get my shit together."
"Okay. Keep in touch Stefan. I'll miss you." Caroline finished. I turned and walked away.
