This story takes place sometime around 6x2 when Enzo killed Stefan's girlfriend. Some of the things from the 2nd season of The Originals is referenced but you should be able to understand the story if you don't watch it. I'll try to update as soon as possible but it might take longer because of school. I'll do my best though. I don't own Tvd or The Originals but it would totally be awesome if i did.

Stefan somehow had ended up in New Orleans. He had turned his humanity off a couple of weeks ago. He had to get out of Mystic Falls. Everyone wanted him to turn back on his humanity and be the hero. Even Elena tried to get him too despite the fact that she wasn't dealing with Damon's death any better than he was either. She is such a hypocrite, Stefan thought to himself. Why did he always have to be the hero? Why wasn't he allowed to break and Elena was. He needed to get away from it all. He wasn't able to accept that Damon was gone for good without not caring at all. He tried to start his life over but even when he pretended to have a new life, all he thought about was that he was alone. His brother was dead and there was no way for him to come back. He never thought this could happen. They were supposed to be immortal right? Wasn't that the point of being a vampire? He didn't even care anymore. Everyone in his life always left him. It's easier to just not give a damn about it all.

He had turned into a ripper blood lust was so must worse though. He wasn't able to keep the switch off all the time so when he started to feel something he would find some human and drink until he didn't more he drank the more he was able to let go of any pain that was left. At first he would always hide the bodies but eventually just got careless with it all and left some of the ones he killed in a alley or a forset. If anyone found them he could just kill them too. He ran from Mystic Falls staying in a town or city until people started to notice all the deaths than he ran somewhere else leaving the problem for the people there. He kept running and eventually landed in New Orleans.

Stefan had been walking down the streets of the French Quarter looking for someone to feed from. It was late and not many people were out. He spotted someone near a alley, perfect place. He used his vampire speed to catch up to the person piercing his fangs into the person's neck. Stefan relized from the strange taste of blood in his mouth that he was not a human but a werewolf. It didn't really matter werewolf's had not even half the strength of a baby vampire. Stefan kept on drinking when he felt the werewolf push him off. Stefan was still stronger than him but the werewolf was a lot stronger than he had originally expected. The werewolf growled at him about to bite. Stefan snapped his neck before he got the chance. "What the hell?", Stefan said to himself. Werewolf's shouldn't be that strong. Something else was going on around here. He was about to get as far away from the town as possible when someone was running towards the alley.

She had long brown hair. Stefan looked at her again and saw that it was Hailey. He didn't know much about her expect that she betrayed Tyler for Klaus. He stared at her wondering how she could have ended up here. He hasn't heard from her since she helped killed Klaus's hybrids. She looked at the dead werewolf on the ground who was part of her pack. "What the hell did you do?", Hailey yelled at him. Stefan shrugged carelessly, "I was hungry but then your werewolf friend attacked me. Which means I'm still hungry. You should probably run." He flashed his fangs while the veins underneath his eyes turned black. Hailey flashed her eyes yellow and stick out her hybrid teeth. "I am going to freakin kill you!" She flashed towards Stefan and before he could see what was happening stuck her werewolf venom teeth into his neck. He yelled trying to push her off him but failing realizing that Hailey was stronger than him. She stuck her hand around his heart about to pull it out when someone flung her against the wall.

"What the hell Klaus!" She yelled. "I hear fighting in the middle of night and come here out of curiosity to find you and Stefan trying to kill each other." "He killed one of my pack!" Klaus looked down to acknowledge the dead werewolf lying on the ground. He had been hearing about the vampire who was tearing towns apart. He assumed it had to be Stefan and was going to go find him worried after hearing the vampires plans to kill him before he led them into his mess. His psychopathic family kept him distracted though. Part of him wanted to let Hailey finish him off and be done with this problem. He secretly cared for Stefan though. He couldn't let him die even when he wanted too. "You're not going to kill him Hailey." Stefan didn't think he even saw Hailey so pissed. "So you're just going to let him come into our town and kill my pack. I'm their leader! It's my responsibility to make sure they stay alive." She screamed pointing at the dead werewolf. "Leave Hailey before the rest of your pack joins this one." He stated. Hailey picked up the lifeless werewolf and left knowing she would either have to let it go or get her revenge later.

He looked back towards Stefan. "I see your humanity off. I knew you had to been the one all the vampires are talking about. The vampire who was leaving dead bodies for everyone to find." Stefan thought about trying to escape no longer in the mood to talk to anyone especially Klaus before but he needed Klaus's blood if he was ever going to survive through tomorrow. It was too late anyway as he felt his head slam against a wall and klaus's tightening grip around his neck. "Why are you here?" "Let me go and maybe I'll tell you." Klaus threw him towards the ground. "The witches and even the vampires want to kill you and you come here trying to fight with a hybrid. You flipped the switch Stefan not your common sense." "In all fairness I didn't know she was a hybrid and I know they are out to get me. Ones already tried to kill me and I stuck a stake through their heart. I highly doubt the list of people who want to kill me is even half of the people out to get you. So I'm not really getting your point." Klaus looked down at where Stefan was on the ground. He was worried about him even though he would never tell Stefan that. There was vampires and witches hunting him and if he wasn't careful he's going to get staked by one of them. Stefan meant everything to him. "You're going to get yourself killed or you're going to end up making it so vampires can't live anywhere without getting hunted by humans which would be rather inconvenient for them." "Looks like their problem, not mine so I don't really care."

Klaus was getting pissed at the sarcasm. Didn't Stefan get that he was trying to help him? He personally didn't care how many people Stefan killed but it wasn't a good time especially not in New Orleans. He knew something really bad had to happen to get Stefan to flip the switch. He knew how hard it was for Stefan to break. "Why did you turn it off?", Klaus said causally like they haven't just spent their time yelling at each other. "Damon died and the other side is gone which means Damon's gone for good. I didn't want to have to live with the pain. Klaus looked at Stefan watching his emotions try to crept back in thinking about his brother. Stefan face quickly changed back to having no emotion. Klaus knew about the other side collapsing but never knew Damon was over there. "Did you ask any of the witches or Bonnie about it?" "Bonnie's died when Damon did. I've gone to every witch coven that exists. Either they don't know or they don't want to help me." There had to be some spell or something. He seen more people cheat death than anything. "I know very powerful witches. I can see if they can help." Stefan almost felt hope for a second. He ignored it. He had to. If he let it back in and they couldn't find Damon… He couldn't go through that pain again. "It doesn't matter. I don't care about Damon anymore."
