BROTHERS TILL THE END

CHAPTER 1

Stefan has shut off his humanity, in order to bring Stefan from the edge Damon decides to shove the cure down Stefan's throat. Will Stefan turn into human and the brothers' bond will be stronger than ever or a tragic fate is in store for the brothers.

'What are you going to do big brother shove the cure down my throat so that I can turn into a pathetic weak, vulnerable human?' Stefan asked Damon who was standing few feet away from him in the Salvatore house. 'You know brother the old me would have given up everything to take this bloody cure. All the old me ever wanted was to become a human and live a happy life.'

'But that stupid old me is gone brother and I am no longer that bunny eating weak, poor Stefan whom you could have defeated easily .I am more powerful than ever. I don't want to be boastful or anything but you very well know big brother that I am powerful enough to take you out within seconds, So, don't even try to do anything stupid brother!', Stefan said with a smirk.

I am well aware of the fact that all my little brother ever wanted was a chance to become human and lead a normal, happy life. And this is not my little brother talking; this is the ripper who is talking crap which I am least interested in'. Damon said with a grin on his face. 'And you have a very bad habit of underestimating my abilities of making a full-proof plan brother. You really thought I would come here all by myself and announce my master plan of shoving the cure down your throat. Well you see I am not that stupid, I brought some help. I am not boastful or anything but I am your BIG Brother and so I am always two steps ahead of you my little brother.' Damon winked at Stefan.

'Now come out Bon-Bon', Damon signalled Bonny and Bonny came out down the stairs from Damon's room chanting some magical words.

Stefan was filled with rage, 'You have made the biggest mistake of your life, I will rip both of out.' Stefan rushed towards Bonnie to attack her when he suddenly stopped in his tracks and screamed in pain clutching his head. 'Ahhhhhh...Make it stop'; he shouted and fell on the floor on his knees.

Tyler and Matt came from behind and while Tyler grabbed Stefan's hands, Tyler injected vervain into Stefan's shoulder. Stefan screamed in agony. 'I will kill you all you, you fools.'

Stefan was in a semi-conscious state, Damon approached Stefan and lifted his face up, he gently touched Stefan's cheek with his left hand and brushed back the lock of hair from his forehead that were falling over his eyes. 'Everything will be alright brother I promise; I will not let anything happen to you. You will be Okay, WE will be Okay.' Damon chuckled thinking to himself about how ironic life can be. Centuries ago he was the same guy who had promised his little brother an eternity of misery and after centuries he is the same big brother who is promising his little brother a life full of happiness and hoe.' With these final thoughts he shoved the cure down Stefan's throat.

It's been 24 hours since Stefan had taken the cure but still was lying unconscious in his bed. Damon had never left Stefan's side and had been waiting for his baby bro to wake up. Damon didn't even realise when he fell asleep when suddenly a soft moan woke him up. Damon noticed that Stefan was finally waking up.

He couldn't help but feel the butterflies in his stomach. All sorts of thoughts were creeping in his mind. How will Stefan react when he will finally wake up, will he be happy, excited or will he be angry with him for taking away his free will. No why will he be mad at me, after all this is what he always wanted, to become a human. Damon thought to himself. How Stefan will actually react, now was the time to find out.

'Easy there brother. Welcome back', Damon spoke with a smile on his face.

Stefan looked around with a perplexed expression on his face and finally he saw his brother and after few minutes finally spoke, 'What happened? I feel there is something wrong with me. No,' he corrected himself, 'Something is not wrong but different. I feel different Damon. Please tell me what happened.' Then he pondered about what all transpired the other day. He had a fight with Damon, then Bonny started chanting some magical verses, the all he could think about was pain, excruciating pain after which he fell on the floor half conscious, weakened by Bonnie's spell, his hands were restrained by Tyler and Matt and then he remembered ,finally the realisation struck him. Damon had shoved the cure of vampirism down his throat. A tear rolled down his cheek as he let the realisation sunk in that all this meant was that he was no longer a vampire, HE WAS HUMAN!. Yes A HUMAN!

Without giving a second thought he just hugged his big brother so tightly as if he was clinging for his dear life just like he used to do when he was little.
For a moment Damon was taken aback but then he hugged his little brother back equally tight.

Stefan was experiencing emotions, not the intensified ones but pure human emotions. He finally pulled away from the hug. You big brother have given me the one thing I always wanted. A chance to live life as a human once again. This is all I ever wanted brother. You have saved me Damon. You have not only saved me but have given me a second life. I, I don't know how can I thank you enough for what you have done for me.

Don't mention it little brother. This is what big brothers are for. Damon winked at Stefan and ruffled his hair. Damon was just glad that he got his little brother back!

Few days had passed and everything was going smoothly for the Salvatore brothers. Damon was enjoying his bourbon in his study when Caroline came running in vamp speed. Easy there Barbie. What's the rush? Damon said in his usual tone. Damon something is wrong. Stefan was supposed to me at the grill 5 hours ago and he never showed up. I tried calling him but his cell phone is switched off. I have a bad feeling Damon. Something is not right.

Relax Caroline, It's probably nothing. Let me try Stef's phone. He dialled Stefan's number but the number was switched off. Then he called Alaric, Elena, Bonnie, Matt and everyone else but Stefan was nowhere and he had not contacted anybody.

Now he was beginning to get worried for his baby brother. This was unlike Stefan, if he was stuck somewhere he would have at least informed Damon if not anybody else.

Damon spent the next few house searching for Stefan but couldn't find him anywhere. Where are you little brother? Damon slammed his fist in the wall of the Salvatore drawing area.

Suddenly his phone rang. It was an unknown number. Damon picked it up. 'Hello Damon, recognise my voice. It's been such a long time since we spoke. Isn't it?'

Who's this" Damon asked. 'How can you not recognise me Damon? Don't you remember I am the guy whose family you had killed brutally in front of my own eyes? I was so helpless, couldn't even save them, they were screaming in pain, begging you for mercy but still you killed them in cold blood and then you turned me into a vampire. Now Damon remembered. It was those times when Damon used to be monster and he did regret killing those innocent people. Patrick had promised Damon that he would seek revenge from him and would inflict the same pain upon him which he had suffered for so long. Pain of losing your precious loved one!

Remember I had promised you that I will make you suffer; I will make you beg in front of me to spare the life of the one who is closest to your heart. All these centuries I waited, waited for the perfect opportunity to seek my revenge and now I am thrilled to inform you that time has finally come.

I know who your Achilles heel is Damon. It's none other than your precious little baby Brother Stefan who now is a weak, vulnerable human. Trust me Damon when I say this, 'I will make sure your baby brother pays for all your sins. I will make sure he suffers. I will not kill him; I will slowly and painfully suck life out of him. I will inflict such excruciating pain on him that he will beg for his death Damon. Seeing your baby brother in insufferable pain, seeing him getting tortured day in and day out and not being able to do anything about it is my sweet revenge from you Damon. I will take away that person from you who mean the world to you. Your little brother! This was followed by heart piercing scream of Stefan. After which the line went dead...
