So I didn't expect all the feeback I got about this story. I am very happy and thankful you all took the time to read it! Since alot of you wanted more here is a second chapter. I don't know if this will be a full story so we'll just go with the flow. Also after 3x04 Im not exactly on the Rebekah fan ship anymore, I kinda jumped into that to fast. Anyway, Enjoy!
Stefan
I looked down at my phone, watching as it said call ended. Surprise covering every inch of my face. Caroline is in love with me?
I didn't know, I had always thought we established were just friends, hell some people consider her my best friend.
I just couldn't grasp the fact that Caroline had been in love with me. I knew she liked me alot when I first came to Mystic Falls but I let her down gently and then her and I never spoke. I didn't talk to her until Katherine turned her and I helped her transition.
I will admit, Caroline became a big part of my life during that time. She was so funny, she always had a bright smile on her face, she would make these jokes that got me to laugh, she poked fun at me.
Caroline was an all around good person and thats what I loved most about her.
Before I could grasp what just went through my head I heard my name being called.
"Stefan!"
I turned and saw Rebekah and Klaus waiting for me.
"Lets go Stefan there is much we have to prepare for," Klaus said getting in the back of the SUV.
I walked over to the truck and Rebekah was waiting for me.
"Sit next to me Stefan," she said grabbing my hand and I let her.
Rebekah sat in the middle with Klaus and I on either side of her.
"Did you have a nice time enjoying the fresh air Stefan?" Klaus asked.
"It was fine."
"Leave him alone Nic," Rebekah said grabbing tighter onto my hand and smiling at me.
I wanted to slip my hand out of hers because my mind was still reeling about Caroline but that would cause some uncessary problems so I kept my hand in hers.
I stared out the window watching the lights pass by me and every single one reminded me of Caroline. They shone bright, they gave off a good feeling, they reminded me of Caroline's bright personality. I still can't believe she admitted she was in love with me.
"Stefan."
I turned to look at Rebekah.
"Are you alright?"
I nodded my head, it was hard to speak after hearing a good friend of yours has been in love with you for the past few months.
She smiled and leaned her head on my shoulder. When I looked at Rebekah I felt adoration and love but now that I knew how Caroline felt I couldn't help but have a gultiy feeling course through me now. Elena was still on my mind, sure, but Caroline's call had just made me feel different now.
The rest of the ride stayed silent.
We finally arrived at the hotel we were going to stay at for awhile so Rebekah could adjust better to this time period.
"Stefan how about you join me to my room so we can catch up?" Rebekah said with a small sparkle her eye.
I was glad Klaus spoke up. "Oh no little sister, I have some business I need to discuss with Stefan. You can play catch up and relieve old memories later."
She pouted at first but finally agreed. "Alright then."
Rebekah turned to me. "I'll see you soon."
Then she gave me a small kiss on the lips. I couldn't help but think about another pair.
"Help yourself to anything in the bathroom and Emma there will help you with anything need," Klaus said referring to the maid who had been compelled to let us drink from her, we just couldn't kill her.
Rebekah nodded and left to her room to shower. It was just like Klaus to get the penthouse.
"So what did-" I started but was cut off by Klaus's signal for me to be quiet.
I was guessing he was waiting for Rebekah to be out of earshot so he could discuss what he needed to.
When he was sure she was gone he signaled for me to follow him. We went into a room.
"So there was definitly more to it when you said you needed time to yourself outside and it wasn't because of my dear little sister's resurrection was it?" Klaus asked when he closed the door and headed to the liqour cabinet at the bar in the room.
"I don't know what your talking about," I said taking the glass he gave me.
"Stefan come on, you know you can tell your dear old friend Klaus," he said with a smirk
I laughed a little. "Its nothing, it doesn't intefer with any plans that concern your hybrid army."
"Well then I guess I'll have to let it slide, for now. I'm sure whatever it is will get you in trouble down the line," Klaus said taking a sip from his glass.
"Then I guess we have no reason to discuss it."
Klaus smirked. "So on to more important things. Rebekah's necklace."
"What about it?" I asked feeling nervous.
"I know where it is."
"What?"
"Oh come now Stefan, you can't possible think I don't know what my own sister's necklace looks like."
I sat there silently letting him continue.
"I will admit it didn't take me until Rebekah told me it was gone for me to remember what it looked like. It is like she said, she wore it for thousands of years. So when I thought about it I realized where I've seen her necklace. On the doppleganger's precious neck."
He looked at me as if he knew a dirty little secret. My secret.
"The only way Elena would have the necklace is because of you, you were there that last night with Rebekah Stefan and thats the only way she could have gotten a hold of it."
"So what are you going to do, kill me?" I asked.
Klaus laughed. "Of course not. I realized Stefan that you are not to blame."
I looked at him surprised.
"Go on," I said.
Klaus gave a small laugh. "I compelled you, you had no idea who that necklace belonged to or where it came from so the facts state its not your fault that its missing."
"Well since my name is cleared whats the plan to get the necklace back?" I asked feeling my stomach turn to knots.
"Well the plan is I go look for it, cause some havoc while there and leave with the necklace in my hand and the knowledge that the doppleganger is dead."
"So your just gonna leave me and your sister alone?"
"Stefan I know you won't take advantage of her and shes a big girl, she can handle herself," Klaus said with a smug grin.
"I mean Rebekah is very protective of that necklace, if you left her here while you went to get it, she wouldn't be very happy," I explained.
"That my friend is why your here. Your going to have her remember why she was so much in love with you back then."
"So you want me to keep her busy with memories of the past?" I asked.
"Precisley."
"You do know your sister is alot smarter then that right?"
"Stefan theres is much you don't know about Rebekah and I. I know how much she cares about you," Klaus said taking a sip of his drink as if he didn't like that Rebekah's feelings for me were strong.
We sat there in silence. This plan wasn't going to work Rebekah is way too smart for it, once she realizes Klaus is no where around she'll figure something is up and probably kill me for lying and tricking her. I have no idea how Klaus doesn't see that, unless he plans to get me killed but that doesn't make sense.
"This plan is not going to work," I finally said.
"And how do you figure?"
"Once I try and distract Rebekah she'll figure something is up and it will get worse when she doesn't see you around any where, then she will know something is definitly up. Then she'll most likely kill me for lying and probably somehow ruin your plans for the hybrids," I told him.
"Stefan your really not comprehending the plan well," Klaus said.
"I understand what you saying, Rebekah will be so wrapped up in me that she won't pay attention to whats going on but if your gone shes going to figure you have this big bad plan and she'll be suspicious."
"So what is it you suggest we do?" Klaus asked leaning against the bar.
"Let me go."
"And why on earth would I let you do that?"
"Well where would you go to look for the necklace? The field where the sacrifice was? Likely by now its probably coverd in dirt. Bonnie, Jeremy or even Damon would have that necklace and they wouldn't give it to you for anything."
"Oh but they would give it to you?"
"All I have to do is tell them if I don't get it your coming back to slaughter the town. If they don't believe me I just have to kill a few girls very creativly. Plus I left last time and came back like I said I was so why worry now?"
"Now this has to do with the necklace that belongs to my sister but you gave to your supposed to be dead girlfriend. I don't know if I can trust you now Stefan especially since I'm not entirely sure Elena is even dead."
"She is dead. If she wasn't then I'd be finding every possible way to escape here to be with her and I've been doing everything you asked. I've killed and tortured and you know as much as I do that I enjoyed it. I have nothing to go back to. I only asked you to save Damon because hes the only one I have left," I said putting on as good as a facade as possible, but it was true that I did enjoy killing and torturing and the gulit was eating me alive.
"That very may be true Stefan, but i'm suspicious about your little moment outside. You probably are conspiricing behind my back."
I stood up straight. "You wanna know what happend when I was outside? I got a phone call from Caroline saying she was in love with me. I wanna go back and let her know that I am not coming back anytime soon for anybody," I said menacingly making him think I was pissed he didn't trust me
Klaus smirked. "Really now? Caroline Forbes admitted to being in love with you, I must say Stefan you have a way with women. Four lovely young ladies wanting your eternal love. You know I have given some thought to Caroline, she would make a perfect little ripper."
"No."
"Is that caring I'm hearing?"
"Caroline has nothing to do with this. I said I would go with you to help make your army and make sure my brother stayed alive. No reason to waste your time on a clueless baby vampire," I said even though it hurt me to talk like that about Caroline.
Klaus looked at me. He started hard at me to make sure I wasn't lying or giving false information.
"If you go you have to do something to prove yourself," Klaus said with edge in his voice.
"What is it?"
"Torture the blonde vampire and your brother and give me evidence that you did and prove to me the doppleganger is dead. If you enjoy torturing as you say you do then you have no problem with causing the people you love a little pain," Klaus said with a evil smirk.
"How am I supposed to prove Elena is dead?"
"Figure it out for yourself Stefan. You leave tonight," Klaus said leaving the room without looking back.
