I opened my eyes to see a sleepy Stefan snoring softly. The previous events of the night before came floating back to me.
The thought that he was back and Klaus was gone made me smile and give a content sigh.
"You seem in a good mood." Stefan said groggily grinning at me.
"I think you know the reason for that." I said snuggling closer to him.
"Then you know why I'm happy to." He said kissing the top of my head.
"Can we just stay home today?" I questioned.
"Sounds like a plan, but we do have some things to talk about."
"I know." I said softly.
"I need to tell you what happened while I was gone what I did." He said.
His eyes held regret and shame in them.
"Stefan if you don't want to you don't have to."
"No, I need to tell you you deserve to know."
"Okay."
"Klaus and I traveled around looking for werewolves to turn into hybrids. We had many failed attempts at making them into hybrids and ended up killing an entire group of a dozen people." He took a deep breath a pained expression on his face.
"Why didn't it work? Is it because I'm still alive?"
"No, it's not that it didn't work because they didn't have your blood to drink. Klaus and I figured that out after a phone call with a witch named Gloria."
"Does he know I'm alive?" I asked and began to worry; praying he wouldn't come drain me of all my blood.
"Yes, he does but has agreed to stay away, as long as he is given a bag of blood every couple months. I'm sorry babe I tried to hide it, but Gloria did a spell and found out."
"It's fine, you being back is all that matters."
He smiled and grabbed my hand entwining our fingers. "There's still more. I killed innocent people dozens of them, and I did it in horrific ways Elena. My actions are that of a monster." He said lowering his eyes in shame.
"It was Klaus's fault though! Not yours. Stefan I don't care what you have done. Nothing can make me love you less or look at you different because I know who you truly are." I pulled him down and pecked him on the lips.
"I love you so much." Stefan said running a hand through my hair.
"I love you too."
Not more than a second after I said that did my bedroom door burst open. There stood Damon wearing a very pissed expression.
"Elena you can't be alone with him right now! He can't control himself!" Damon yelled jerking me from Stefan.
"Let go of me!" I yelled back.
"No!" he hissed.
"Damon she said let go." Stefan said his tone very dangerous.
"Why in the hell should I listen to you? If I hadn't came who knows what you might have done to her!" Damon said angrily.
Next thing I knew I was pulled from Damon by Stefan who held me close. This brought back memories from when we dug up their father's grave and Damon force fed me his blood.
"Leave Damon! We can talk later. And I do have my thirst under control. I know how to keep it that way now." Stefan said in that scary tone.
"I will be back to check that she's fine." He said pointing at me then used vampire speed to exit the house.
"Are you alright?" Stefan asked his tone now replaced with concern.
"I'm fine." I said wrapping my arms around him.
He hugged me to him.
I stood on my tippy toes and kissed him, but it led to a make out session with Stefan running his hands all over me and our tongs dancing together. It was interrupted however when my stomach gave a loud rumble.
Stefan gave a hearty laugh.
"Come on I'll make you some breakfast."
We then walked hand in hand down the stairs together forgetting one little detail Rick and Jeremy.
AN: Thanks for the 5 reviews so far! Oh and Stefan never killed Andie or went to Chicago. Stefan only threatened to kill her, at least that's how im writing it. Just for future reference!
Thanks again!
