Stefan's Comeback
It has been 3 months since the night that Silas, Stefan's doppelganger, locked him in that box and threw him in the river. All this time Stefan was dying and dying and dying all over again from the water in his lungs. It was pure torture.
One day, a old man found the box. It was big and heavy so it took him some time to drag it out of the river. After a few fruitless efforts he managed to open it. Stefan's body fell out of the box on the ground. The guy turned his back to Stefan, revolted by the sight of the body.
After calming himself, he cocked his head to take one more look at the body before calling the police. His eyes widened when he realized that the body was gone. He jolted. 'That's impossible' he muttered while scanning the area to see if anyone is there.
He shook his head and started walking away from the river, still shocked and confused.
After he took a few steps away from there, Stefan appeared in front of him – alive. The old man jumped back. His blood ran cold. He was 100% sure that the young man standing front of him was dead a few minutes ago. Eventually, he managed to say in a quivering voice.
''H-How did you do that? You- you were dead a few seconds ago''
Stefan didn't pay attention to what the man said. All he could hear was his heartbeat and the blood travelling through his veins. It has been months since he last fed.
In vampire speed he grabbed the man. He forced his head to title to the side so that he could have an easier access to his neck. Without thinking about it twice, he started sucking the blood out of the man's veins.
After a few seconds the man fell on the ground, drained from blood, with his eyes wide open.
Stefan licked the blood that remained around in his mouth and lips. He closed his eyes to enjoy the taste of the one thing he wanted all this time.
He put the body on the box he was locked up and threw it in the river, exactly the way Silas did it to him. His eyes followed the box as it floated away and thoughts of that night came in his mind. He has a doppelganger, who wants to take his life.
He closed his eyes once again for a brief moment and took a deep breath. He had to go back. He wanted to take revenge but how could he? Silas couldn't be killed.
He could go back to Mystic Falls, not yet. There was only one place he could go. New Orleans. He had to find Klaus and tell him what happened. Maybe he would find a way to help him. It was worth the shot.
