My Dearest Brother Damon,

As you may have heard from Katherine I made a deal with Klaus to save your life, in return I must hand myself over to him and become the ripper once more. Over the past centuries we have fought, attempted to hurt and damage each other and went to great lengths to destroy each other's lives, however I know that when it really comes down to the wire I will forever protect my brother and would trade my own life for yours if required. I know that somewhere behind that cold back shell you hide behind you would do the same, we are brothers bonded by more than blood we are bonded by life and love, we have roamed the earth together for so many years that now I'm without you making my life a misery I feel that a part of me is missing. I wanted to write this letter and explain to you that although we have had our many ups and downs you will always be my brother Damon the guy who taught me how to play football my best friend. I want you to do me a favour Damon now that I'm gone I want you to be happy I want you to move on and forget about looking for me but remember me fondly. The actions that I have taken under the command of Klaus over this past few months have broken me the constant ache in my heart will not leave my world seems to be crumbling. I can't go on with the memories of all the things I had to leave behind when I left with Klaus, the dreams I have of one day seeing you and Elena again haunt me to my core and I'm not sure how I can carry on with these thoughts and memories. For this reason I am writing to you brother I am writing to say all the things I should have said, to forgive all the things that should have been forgiven and to love more than is possible. I have asked Klaus to take away all my memories of you and Elena as the pain is too unbearable to live with every night I go to sleep not wanting to wake up, so he has agreed to take these memories from me. For this reason I am letting you know that I have always and will always love you Damon your my big brother and nothing will ever change that and I'm saying this now because after tomorrow I will be nothing other than a emotionless shell designed to kill and if by chance you ever do see me again please grant my only wish brother and kill me.

I will love you forever brother maybe in another life we will meet again.

Stefan
