Stefan couldn't believe they weren't more careful. The sire bond had been broken for weeks now and they had been seeing each other since then. No one had suspected a thing, not even Damon.
Rebekah: "So what the hell is going on?"
Stefan: "The sire bond is broken and Elena and I are back together."
Rebekah: "Why would you want me to erase your memories of her?"
Stefan: "I knew you wouldn't, so I let you believe I wanted you to."
Rebekah: "I can still do it if I want to. All it takes is a little compulsion."
Elena: "Don't."
Rebekah looked at her: "Whom the hell asked you to talk, I wasn't addressing you, and neither was Stefan."
Elena: "Please don't do it Rebekah."
Rebekah: "But then you would live in an eternity of pain knowing that your epic love had no idea who you were or what you two had. Doesn't that sound miserable?"
Elena nodded, signaling that she agreed it sounded awful.
Rebekah: "Well that's what happened to me when Niklaus made Stefan forget all about us. I had to live with the pain of knowing the man I loved would never remember me or what we had shared."
Elena: "You really hate me that much."
Rebekah looked at her and smiled: "Yes, I really do."
Stefan: "Please don't do it Rebekah."
Rebekah looked right into his eyes and compelled him: "You will forget every memory of Elena Gilbert, all the kisses you shared, all the feeling you had, EVERYTHING. If you look at her all you will think about is Katherine and how much you hated her and now how much you hate Elena."
Stefan snapped out of the compulsion. He looked at Elena in disgust.
Elena: "Stefan, its me, Elena."
Stefan: "Who?"
Elena got tears in her eyes: "Katherine's doppelgänger."
Stefan: "I hate her, and I hate you too."
