Stefan P.O.V
After 147 years Star walked back into our life expecting for me to welcome her back with open arms, it took me over a century to get over her walking away without any explanation. I still remember after all of Katherine compulsion wore off after I got turned, how I beat myself up for decades that I let Star walk away without looking for her. To know all this time I thought she was dead, when she wasn't. A part of me wanted an explanation, but then I didn't want to hear it, because when I looked at her all that hurt and pain I thought I had gone rose to the surface again. To come to learn that all of this time she was alive, she never came looking for us, did I actually mean anything to her? Was I just another man that she used to pass her time with? The more these questions came into my mind I knew I had to walk away from her. It turns out that Star has supernatural abilities too, but she wasn't a vampire that I knew, so what the hell was she?
She tried to apologies to me and began to tell me that her leaving me had something to do with Katherine, all that did was infuriated me even more, I thought Star and I had a close bond that she wouldn't have allow someone like Katherine stop her from leaving. All I felt right now towards her right now was rage; everything Star had ever told me was a lie every single thing I knew of Star was an utter lie, our love was a complete lie. Even as I shouted at her I felt like my heart was breaking all over again, Star was the greatest love of my life and I had mourned for her up till this very day. I wanted to my share life with her, she was the woman I wanted to marry. Yes after all of these years I found how to love again with Elena who had shown me how to be a better person after everything I had done. If Star thinks she can walk back into my life she had another thing coming.
Of course Damon came to her rescue telling me to let Star explain her reason to me of why she left, I didn't want to hear anything from her. I didn't want to hear her excuses of leaving no longer. Star tore my world apart when she walked away, I felt lost and alone, and when I turned into a vampire all the hurt pain was magnified. If I'm going to be totally honest that the real reason why I turned into a ripper to drown out all the hurt and pain of her walking out of my life. When I spoke the words that I had mourned over her enough and she was dead to me, I saw one thing I hated to see from Star and that was the sorrow in eyes. I couldn't look at her any more I had to walk away from her. As I continued to walk away I realised something, that even after all of these years Star still had a hold of my heart. I will not allow her to come here, and mess everything I built. She has no reason to be here, I made my feeling clear to her now, so she can leave and let me live my life.
I went and found Elena she looked a little shaken up, I asked her what had happened that's when she explained that Star had attacked her thinking that she was Katherine. Of course that was most people reaction when they saw Elena and they knew Katherine, thank god Damon was there because it sounded like even he was trying to stop her she was close to killing Elena. With Star doing that Elena began to ask questions about her, but I didn't want to talk about it. I never told Elena about my relationship with Star, and I'm surprise Damon hadn't brought it up with her before. When Star walked out of our lives 147 years ago neither of us really spoke of her it was far too painful. Damon was just as heartbroken as I was, Star meant the world to him she was like the little sister he had always wanted. What I couldn't understand right now is how he could stand there and sticks up for her, telling me to hear her out after all the lies she had told. I've lived without Star for 147 years, and I didn't need her in my life now.
In the morning I brought Elena down to the woods, I needed to help her with overcoming her urges to feed on humans. So I bought her down here to teach her to hunt. Before coming here Damon and I had a very heated argument about it, he thinks that she could fed from the vein that she needs to embrace the natural urge. I wasn't going to let Elena do that the one thing that Elena is driven by is her compassion; if she fed from someone and killed them it would destroy her. We were both lying on a blanket on the floor of the woods. Elena wakes up, looks at me and smiles, I really couldn't believe how lucky I was to have her in my life. I really never thought I could be with someone like this again not after Star.
"Hi." Elena spoke sweetly, part of me was happy she went ahead with the transition, but I knew deep down that it weren't what she wanted.
"Hi." I leaned over and kissed her gently on the lips, I pulled away, and she had this beaming smile that just made all my troubles fad away.
"You know, you haven't told me much about your friend Star." When she spoke of Star name I felt myself tense up, I didn't want to talk to her about this. Star would be gone soon enough and she will be a distance memory to everyone.
"She just someone from the past that all, she going to be gone by the time we go back to the house." Elena looked at me a little concerned. Another argument that broke out at the house this morning, the way things went down Star will be long gone.
Flashback- This Morning
I was packing up stuff for this trip in the wood that I planned with Elena, I thought teaching her how to capture an animal without having to drain it dry would help her. This was never the life she wanted, but unfortunately the circumstances have lead us here, so I was going to do everything in my power to make this transition easy for her. As I was packing Damon was in the room with me, he was trying to justify Star actions, and still trying to telling me to hear her out. Obviously I didn't make myself clear enough last night, or maybe my brother pig headed and thinks he can somehow change my mind
"You're making a big mistake Stefan, you not even hearing her out." Damon really didn't get it, I didn't want to hear her explanations, I've moved on whatever Star reason for returning back I wasn't interested in listening.
"No, I'm not. I have no interest in what Star has to say." I looked directly into his eyes. "How can you be ok with her after everything, you were just as hurt when she walked away." Damon took to Star not coming back pretty bad to from what I remember, so how could he be so accepting about all the lies she had told.
"Because I LISTEN to her Stefan. You don't even know what she had been through—" I had to cut him off as I didn't want to know what poor Star had been through.
"No I don't know anything about Star, because everything single thing that she had ever told me was a lie Damon. Everything she represent to me is a lie." Damon looked at me shaking his head, how pathetic could my brother be to just believe whatever lie Star spun him to defend her so much. "I want her out of our lives Damon, I don't want anything to do with Star!" I notice Star walking into the room looking as stunning she used to look in the morning, even after all this she still took my breath away. She looked a little hurt by what I said as she approached the both of us.
"Well vampirism has really changed you Stefan." I stepped away from Damon and looked directly at her, who was she to judge me by the way I'm behaving? This wasn't anything to do with me being a vampire, it had everything to do with the fact that the first woman I fell in love with lied to me. "Stefan I know you're mad at me—" Once again she was going to try and explain herself I didn't want to hear it.
"I want you out of here. I don't want to see you. I don't want to be anywhere near you. Just go back to whatever rock you've been hiding for the last 147 years." She step back and I walked out of the room. I couldn't handle being around her, because when I looked at her I could see my Star, the girl who stole my heart all them years ago, and I can't let her let her destroy everything I have here.
Present Day
I got off the subject of Star with Elena I didn't want her to know anything about her, she will be out of our lives. Elena didn't need to know anything about Star, she was my past and Elena was my future. We were walking through the woods and we saw a deer eating nearby, I notice that Elena was breathes heavily, I knew I needed to talk her though all of this.
"Close your eyes." She looks up at me then closes her eyes, I rushes at the deer taking it down and Elena opens her eyes and gasped. Elena began to drinks the blood from the deer as she looked up I notice she had blood all over her face as she pulls away from its neck and breathes heavily. Elena gets up from the ground the deer runs off. She watches it leave looking traumatized by the feed, she touches the blood around her mouth and cries. "Don't worry, he'll heal. Bigger animals are more resilient." I needed to assure her that, Elena turns and faces me with fear in her eyes "Hey." I dabs at the blood around Elena's mouth with a cloth "You did it. I know it's hard—" I began to caresses her face "—But you can do this." Elena cries, but she nods her head confidently, I know she can pull through this. I wanted to teach Elena how to defend herself and use her new ability's, I was standing behind Elena I was trying to teach her how to use her super speed.
"I can't do it." Elena said giggling, how could I explain this to her? I knew track wasn't her best sport but that was when she was human everything had changed now.
"Alright, it's like the starting line of a race, right? So you just push off with every ounce of strength that you have." She looked at me frowning. This was going to be a lot harder than I thought it would be, she wasn't one for sport's I've seen her run and it was very girly.
"Yeah, but I was a cheerleader. I sucked at track." I needed her to be a little more confident about this, she had to believe in herself a little more.
"Just concentrate, okay? You can do it." Elena crouches into a running position and breathes out; I placed his hands around her waist to help her position herself.
"I can't. All I can think about is your hands on my body." She spoke a little flirtatiously, maybe it would be better if I wasn't touching her, with everything heighten I was a distraction to her.
"Oh, okay." I took my hands off from around her waist, but she grabs my hands and puts them back around her.
"No, no, no. I - I didn't say to take them off. It feels good." I couldn't help but smile at her. After everything we had both been through, from Klaus wreaking havoc to her death, somehow Elena and I survived through it all.
"Yeah what does it feel like?" I questioned her as she began to laugh. I knew how it felt to me having her in my arms, but now with her heighten senses it was a lot different from her human ones.
"It feels like you're touching every nerve on my body." I began to run my hand up and down Elena's arm slowly moving to her waist, she shivered in pleasure as I did.
"Everything is heightened. Taste, smell, sight, touch." I kissed Elena's neck, she grabs my face before kissing me passionately. She jumps up and puts her legs around his waist, I super speed us both into a tree. Elena places herself back down on the ground as we continue to kiss, I unzips Elena's jacket and unbuttons her pants, while she helped me by taking off my shirt. Elena kissing chest then moves back to my lips, I looked at her and it wasn't Elena face I was seeing, it was Star. She smiled at me before she kissed me gently. I felt lost in the moment having Star in my arms, I super speed us to another tree I didn't want to tear my lips away from her, and then she pushed me away. When I looked it wasn't Star, but Elena. She looked at me for a moment, then super speed off, what the hell was that all about?
Star P.O.V
After Damon epic speech that convince me to stay he brought me back to the boarding house, it was a beautiful home even more beautiful than the old Salvatore home. Of course the first thing Damon does as soon as we walked in was pour us both a drink. I was a little concerned being here after everything Stefan said to me, I know he would be too happy with the fact that I was in home, but Damon was insisting that I stayed and he would deal with Stefan. There was something clearly wrong with Damon I could see it in his eyes and the way he was behaving, maybe 147 years that have gone by and he wasn't the human version of himself but there are traits that don't fade when becoming a vampire. The look of desperation in his eyes when he asked me to stay for him proved that, so it was time for me not be selfish and be there for him until am able to.
"So are you going to tell me what's wrong with you?" He turned to look at me with that look to say I have no idea what I was talking about. "Damon, I know something up, look I know we haven't seen each other for 147 years, but I know when something troubling you." He smiled and walked over to me a glass of bourbon, he had that look of the weight of the world on his shoulders.
"It's a long story, you might want to sit down for this." I get it would be a long story considering we had 147 years of catching up to do, something tells me Damon has had a troublesome 147 years.
Damon began to tell about what happened when I left back in 1864, when he came back from the civil war and how he fell in love with Katherine. The problem was that also Stefan was 'in love' with her too, when I heard that I felt a little jealously. I never really got to tell Stefan my true feeling for him, I guess it was because I didn't know if it was love, it didn't feel same as it was with Niklaus. The woman who drove me away, played with the heart of the two most important people in my life, I hated her, I hated everything about Katherine. Right now I wish I weren't such a coward back then by running way, maybe I could have stopped any of this from happening. He spoke the founding council, and how they knew about vampires which really surprised me, I met the heads of the founding families and they didn't appear too bright to me. Somehow they found a way to deal with the problem. Damon wasn't lying when he said I needed to sit down through all of this, it all sounded like a horror story. The one part that got me emotional, was the fact that the brothers grew hatred for each other, and it was all down to one person and that was Katherine.
It was all so much to take in, but I didn't want him to stop I wanted to be clued up about everything that had happened. He began to explain why Elena looked like Katherine, apparently the both of them were doppelganger of bloodline of the Petrova, which trigged the memory of Nik talking about using some doppelganger to break whatever curse was upon him. Damon informed me that Katherine had been running from Nik for over 500 year, in that moment I felt my blood boil. When she turned up at the Salvatore home, and threaten me when the whole time she was on the run as well. I was screaming bloody murder, explain great detail what I will do to her when I see her, Damon tried to calm me down, but all I wanted to do was hunt Katherine down. Then Niklaus was brought up, that he came into town and tearing it all up all for him to finally became a hybrid. Up until the year 2000 I really thought Niklaus was the big evil that I had to put down, but I was totally wrong. The evil I had to put down was far worse than Nik, this Original family as they like to call themselves had nothing against Silas.
"So basically your hubby was untouchable." Damon broke me out of my thoughts, I looked at him confused, what did he mean that Nik was untouchable?
"Sorry what?" I completely tuned out while Damon was talking, when I thought about Silas that tended to happen.
"We are all apparently sired to Klaus bloodline. We couldn't kill him, if we did the whole of his sired line goes with him." I got up from the couch felling a little panicky, so did that mean Nik was still here? If he was then I had to leave there was no way I could stay here.
"Damon, are you telling me that Nik is here in Mystic Falls?" I felt myself panicking now, because I knew that Stefan reaction would be nothing compared to Niklaus.
"No Star. If you were actually listening, you would have heard that Ric killing him. He went up in flames that we weren't part of his line. It was all a lie." I felt a little relief knowing he wasn't here, but part of me felt sorrow knowing that Nik was actually dead. "Why are you even worried about him? I mean with your strength you be able to kick his ass." I know Damon was trying to make light of the situation, but I was still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that Nik was gone, I know I had no right to grieve for him after everything I had done. I loved him, I married him, he was the world to me, it was all down to my fear of what he really was drove me away from him.
"It's not that Damon. Niklaus and I were married we had a life together…. and after the way your brother reacted to my return I'm certain Niklaus would of taking it far worse. I just wasn't ready for that, but it doesn't matter as you said his d-dead." He got up from the sofa and walked over and sat next to me he held my left hand, I looked at him to see there was something else troubling him.
"Star there something I kind of left out about Elena. Stefan and Elena are together." I kind of expected to hear something like this, I mean after 147 year I couldn't think that Stefan wouldn't fall in love again. I got up and walked towards the bar and began to pour myself a drink which was needed after everything I had heard so far.
"Well I'm happy for him, I'm glad that his found happiness." Then I notice Damon stand beside me with that sceptical look on his face, the same look he would give when he didn't believe a word I was saying.
"Really you're happy?" What he wanted me to say? Stefan was happy with Katherine version 2.0 I just hope that all Elena had from Katherine was the appearance and not the whole playing two brothers part of the defect.
"Damon I just want the both of you to be happy." I couldn't tell he didn't believe a word I'm telling him, and there was going to be nothing I say about this that Damon will believe. "Look I better go, I need to find a motel." I put the glass down and went over to pick up my bag, I think after the day I had I need some time alone. I need to processes everything, I was still shaken up by the fact that Nik was gone, and the way Stefan screamed at me.
"Stay." I turned to Damon to see him standing there with pleading eyes, was he crazy? Stefan will flip if I stayed, I had caused enough damage here already, not leaving town is one thing but staying in his home that would be pushing it. "Star you're staying, I'm not letting you stay in a crappie motel room when we have empty room's here." I was about to protest and suddenly Damon covers my mouth to stop me speaking. "I'm not letting Stefan drive you away." I gave him a small smile. "Come on I'll show you to your room." He brought me upstairs to a room that was next to his, he left and I went over to the bed and laid down.
All I kept thinking about was the look upon Stefan face when he saw me I never thought he could ever look at me with so much hatred, but clearly I was wrong. As expected he had fallen out of love with me, and that something I had to come to terms with. Then Nik would come into the forefront of my mind, I felt tears rolling down my cheeks when I thought about the brutal way he died. From what I had heard he deserved it, but I had a different memory of Niklaus to what everyone had experience here. He was my husband, my first love, yes I walked away from him because of what he was that I can never deny, but it didn't mean the love I felt for him disappeared the day I walked away. Even after 500 years he was the first person I thought of when opening my eyes and last before closing them, as much as I made sure to keep my identity safe from him because of my fears I always wondered what it would be like to see him again. Now that would never happen, Niklaus was on the other side now just as many I have met along the way. Right now it felt like time has ceased, but I still had cherished memories still lingering in my mind. This is the way of life, and all things I know that Nik and I will meet again. I wiped away my tears I needed to pull myself together, I'm here for one reason, and that's for Damon, to help him through this difficult time he was going through. I don't know how long I was going to hang around for, as Luca was getting close to finding Silas location.
I woke up in the morning to an argument, I sat up all I could hear Damon and Stefan shouting at each other, I knew instantly that it was about me being here. So I got out of bed and I grabbed one of my shirts and put it on, this was going to be interesting to walk into I'm sure Stefan going to have a lot to say to my face. I walked out of the room and began to make my way to where the commotion was coming from, Stefan was being brutal with the way he was talking about me, there was so much hatred, he spoke about not wanting me here and demanded that I leave. This wasn't his home it was Damon's home to and he wanted me to stay. Stefan tantrums were getting ridiculous now, I get it he loathes me but having this outburst were beneath him.
"Well vampirism has really changed you Stefan." He stepped away from Damon and looked directly at me, is face was mixed with different emotion from anger to hurt. Being here was sheer torture to him and maybe I should try and reason with him again. "Stefan I know you're mad at me—" He cut me off which is something he keeps doing and I swear the next time he does it I'm going to punch him in the face.
"I want you out of here. I don't want to see you. I don't want to be anywhere near you. Star just go back to where you been hiding for the last 147 years." He walked out of the room I looked over at Damon who looked a little stunned to Stefan reaction.
"Well that went well." Damon spoke sarcastically. Well the anger hadn't dial down from last night as Damon said it would, but I wasn't going to leave as he wants me to. Stefan can hate me, he can yell and give me evil glares I'm not leaving.
"Well it don't matter what Stefan wants, I'm here for you." Damon smiled I think he expected me to turn around and say I was going to leave. "Where can we go for a drink round here, because I seriously need one." Damon began to smile, I think some time out of this house is what we both needed, a different atmosphere would do us both good.
"I know of a place. I'm sure it going to take you ages to get ready, I know what your girls are like, so I'll wait for you in the parlour." I began to laugh I think Damon be around mortal girls too much, it didn't take me that long to get changed.
"You underestimated me Damon." I rushed out of the room and went back into the room I was staying in I changed into a back fitted t-shirt and light wash jeans and my black peep toe heels, even had time to do my makeup. I made my way out of the bedroom, and I saw Damon walk out of Stefan room looking at me a little surprised. "Like I said don't underestimate me." He stood there with his jaw gaping open, it was very amusing to watch.
"You literally just walked out of the room." I began to laugh at him, well that was the beauty of being unum praeditos.
"A unum praeditos is far cooler than you mere vampires." I teased him and gave him a wink, he began to chuckle and wrapped his arm around my waist and ushered me down the stairs. Damon drove us both the Grill that guy from yesterday began to hit on me again. Of course Damon didn't like it he compelled him to stay away from me, I couldn't help but laugh at him. I looked up to see that Sheriff coming up to us, she stood next to Damon and pulls out a chair.
"That seat's taken." Fun Damon went really quickly, the Sheriff throws down a newspaper in front of him, he takes the paper and reads the headline
"Faulty gas line leads to tragic explosion at Young farm." He throws the paper down in annoyance, wasn't that place we went to last night the young farm? "Really?" Damon spoke with disbelief, of course I didn't know the full story about that pastor and why he was rounding up vampires so I wasn't going to interfere in matters I don't know about.
"Better than 'Town Council blown up. Police have no suspects.' Unless the perpetrator is right next to me." Was she trying to say that Damon had something to do with this? She looked up at Damon; he didn't looked impressed as he takes a swig of his drink. I think this Sheriff needs to stop accusing Damon and start searching for the real culprit
"It wasn't Damon, if that's what you're trying to get at." She looked at me while clenching her jaw, she didn't like me from the moment she knew I was a Mikaelson, and she clearly has a problem with all the immortals in this town.
"Star it's ok, it normal thing round here when a death occurs." The sheriff continued to stare at Damon, he puts down his drink. "Seriously, stop looking at me like that, Liz. If I was going to kill twelve people, I wouldn't blow them up; I'd have a dinner party." I was his alibi I was with him all night, not that this Sheriff would believe me, but she had to take my word for it. "The Council's dead, Liz. I see that as a win." Someone caught my eye coming into the bar, as he came into my view it was Conner. What the hell was he doing here? The last time saw him he was on mission for the brother hood of the five to reveal the map to where Silas was resting.
"I've known some of the Council since I was a kid. They were my friends." Things were really heating up between these two, I should really break it up, but I needed to try and speak to Conner to find out why he was here in Mystic Falls. Because if he came here to hunt, then he needs to know it a no go zone.
"Well, your friends tried to kill your daughter." I was about to get up but I saw Connor approaching us which caught Damon attention. "Who's the new guy?" I really didn't need Damon to get on Connor bad side, actually I couldn't let Connor know that Damon a vampire he will kill him in a heartbeat.
"Excuse me." He looked at me a little intrigued at first, then he looked at the Sheriff. "Sheriff. Hi, um, I was wondering if I could speak to you for a minute about the explosion at the Young farm." Why was Connor interested in some fire?
"I'm sorry, Mr..?" She asked him sceptically, he glanced over at me then back to her. He recalled who I was I could see that, but I'm glad that he hasn't actually knowledge that we know one another.
"Oh, Connor Jordan." Connor holds his hand out to her, I knew his trick he was wearing a black glove that were soaked in vervain. He used this trick to catch out vampires, she takes his hand and shakes it.
"Are you with the insurance investigators?" She sheriff questioned, I needed to get Damon away from Connor I couldn't let him find out what Damon is.
"No, no, I'm more of an independent contractor" I couldn't help but let slip out chuckle, he looks at Damon and I then back to the sheriff. "Can we speak in private?" He asked her polity
"Sure." She smiled at him, I notice that me glanced at me again I think he probably wondering why I'm here, well it was none of his concern what was important is why a vampire hunter like himself was doing here.
"Thanks." Connor walks away, the sheriff looks at Damon before following Connor.
"Nice to meet you too, Mr Busybody Guy." I looked at him I didn't needed him to wind up Connor, it was time to distract Damon.
"Forget about him, how about I kick your ass at pool." He began to smile, as we both walked over to the pool table.
I kicked Damon ass three times and boy he was a sore loser, but I notice that he would be happy and smiling one minute the next his face would be filled with sorrow. It all had to do with his friend Ric dying, it had hit him hard, and the way he spoke about him I could tell they were close friends at that. I don't think Damon had let anyone get close to him since I was around in 1864, with Ric dying I think it brought up a lot of the old emotions. We both went back to the bar and Damon ordered us both a drink I notice Elena walking into the bar, she looked at me a little worried and didn't blame her after the way I reacted with her last night.
"Did you do it?" She demanded to Damon as she begins to sit down next to him, what was her deal?
"That seat's taken." He growled at her, Elena looked at him frowning as it was clearly an empty seat.
"But there's no one here…" She looked at me, and I shook my head to indicate not to go any further about it.
"Well, I'm just going to pretend like there's someone there, because the alternative is just too damn depressing" So she moved and sat on the other side me, after the way I attacked her last night I didn't expect that. If this it was about time I made amends with her.
"I just want to apologies for my behaviour last night." I had to remember that Elena wasn't Katherine, she may look a hell of a lot like her, but I had to give her a chance at least.
"Don't worry about it, you're not the first person to think that I'm Katherine, and I'm sure you won't be the last." I bet she got that a lot with her looking identical to her.
"So did you set off the explosion that killed the Town Council?" Where the hell did that come from?
"Am I wearing my "I Blew up the Council" t-shirt, why does everybody keep asking me that?" Damon was really pissed now, I looked over at Elena and she didn't tear her eyes away from him. I'm starting to understand that Damon may behave recklessly, but this accusing him of killing those people was really wrong.
"Did you?" I got up from my seat because if I stuck around hearing this, I'll have my hands wrapped around Elena's throat once again, Damon can deal with her.
"No. Anything else?" Damon snapped back. I picked up my bag, I needed to find out why Connor here not hearing about all this, that was far more important but of course these guys wouldn't have a clue about member of the five. "Star where you going?" I walked over to Damon and kissed on the cheek.
"I'll see you at home." I looked over at Elena and she looked a little tense. "Nice to meet you Elena." I walked away from the both of them, I didn't know what to start to look for Connor, but with him being here isn't good news for anyone.
Damon P.O.V
When Star left Elena began to question me about her, she actually thought that Star was an ex-lover of mine, I couldn't help but laugh as she was pointing at the wrong brother. I've never looked at Star in that way, and I don't think I ever could. I mean don't get me wrong she stunningly beautiful and she had an amazing figure, but I don't feel attracted to her like that. I didn't let it slip that Star is actually Stefan ex, I didn't do it for Stefan, I did it more for Star she really don't need the grief. I know she hurt by the stuff my dick of a brother said to her, and she's putting up a pretty good front. I guess when you've been alive for over 1000 years you get thicker skin, I got to remember she changed like we all have changed.
After convincing Elena that Star is just a friend from the past she began to question if she was a vampire, Star had told me what she was and she wanted to keep it quite so I just went along with her being a vampire. Elena began to explain to me about her problem that she couldn't keep down bambi blood down. I knew this would happen and I told that stupid brother of mine. So I did the one thing that my brother would flip out about, I gave Elena my blood. I didn't do it piss Stefan off I did to help Elena out she really did look like crap. I went back home I went straight upstairs into Star room, she was sitting on the bed with a fitted black dress; she got up and smiled at me.
"I think we have a memorial to go to" I weren't used to seeing her in something so tight and revelling. "Eyes up here Salvatore." I think I actually felt myself blush, I didn't even know I was looking at her like that.
"Sorry, it's just seeing you dressed like that." She began to laugh which made me feel really awkward right now, she began to push me out of her room.
"I think you seen enough. Go and get changed, I'll wait for you in the parlour." I went and got changed and I had received a phone call from Elena telling me that even my blood she drank made her feel sick. I don't know what wrong with her, but all I do know is that she needs real blood. I told Star what had happened to her, she went up to her room and got Elena a dress to change into. We drove to the church and both of us got out of the car I got my phone out and I called Elena.
"We are here, we are here. Where are you?" I just wanted to get her sorted out before Stefan came, I know my brother would only have a hissy fit about all this which wasn't needed.
"I'm in the basement bathroom." I indicated to Star to follow me, we both began to make our way into the church. "Is that you at the door?" Elena said panicking.
"Not yet." I spoke as Star and I walked through the church making out way to the basement, Elena was freaking out far too much she needs to calm down.
"Sorry, there's someone in here!" She called out to whoever was trying to get in "Damon, hurry." We walks down the stairs I notice that Connor guy was sitting on a couch outside the bathroom, I stopped outside the bathroom door.
"You again. Stalking small town funerals?" There was something about this guy I didn't like, he kept staring at Star in an odd way and I didn't like that in the slightest. Elena opens the bathroom door and takes the dress from Star.
"Oh, thank God." Elena looks out the door at Connor "Sorry, I – I spilt coffee all over my dress." Connor gets up, looking suspiciously at her. Elena looks at me, I nodded at her and she closes the door to change, I wanted to know what this guy was really up to he wasn't no private contractor.
"We have not met. I'm Connor. Jordan." He holds his hand out for me to shake it, and then suddenly Star shakes his hand.
"Star, it's a pleasure to meet you, this is Damon, his a bit of a Germaphobe." I was taken back by Star jumping in like that, why did Star react like that? From the look on Connor face he didn't look too happy.
"Everything okay in there?" I called out to Elena; there was clearly tension between Star and this Connor dude, and I didn't need her to go all unum praeditos on his ass.
"Yeah, just a minute!" Elena calls out, I looked at the both of them and they were staring each other down I think I needed to break the tension between them.
"So, what brings you to Mystic Falls? Bible salesman?" Connor began to laugh while Star step back a little, she still appeared to be really on edge.
"No, actually I'm in environmental clean-up" God this guy was a dick, I just wanted to get the hell out of here and deal with this lame ass memorial.
"Oh." I just wanted to get out of here, Star looks like she ready to kick the crap out of him.
"Heard you had a bit of a pollution problem." I don't' know what this guy deal is and to be honest I didn't give a damn.
"Huh, well, I was unaware. I breathe pretty easy" I looked over at Star as she kept glaring at him, then I heard Elena comes out of the bathroom
"I'm so sorry that took so long." Elena told him apologetically which he didn't deserve.
"No problem." He smiled at her.
"Well, enjoy your stay. We love visitors and the scenery is to die for." I gasps and puts my hand to my mouth. "Funeral pun. Too soon? Sorry." I looked at Star and she didn't move from the spot she was standing. "Star?" She looked at me and smiled.
"I'll be with you both in a few moments, I just need to use the restroom" I wanted to protest but I needed to get Elena to drink from this blood bag before saint Stefan comes. I left Star behind I know she can look after herself it not like that guy even stood a chance against her.
Star P.O.V
Well I left Elena and Damon to their domestic, from the looks of it Damon get accused for a lot of stuff. I know from what Damon told me about when he first came here, he did sound like a dick. I looked around the whole town square for Connor, but I couldn't find him anywhere, I used my speed to look all around Mystic Falls and it was like he disappeared off the face of the earth. I gave up after a while and made my way back to the boarding house, I'm just hoping Stefan not there I don't fancy a confrontation right now. I walked in and thank god no one was home, I went up to my room, I had heard that today there was a memorial service for the people that die at the Young farm explosion. With Connor questioning about it I'm guessing he may turn up there, so it will give me the opportunity to talk to him. I got into the shower and wash my body and hair I came out and wrapped a towel and walked into the bedroom, I grabbed my bag from the floor and began to look threw it for something appropriate to wear. I pulled out a black dress and lay on the bed I began to dry my hair once I was done I applied my make-up. I put on the dress and put on my red heel on and sat on the bed.
Damon finally came and he was acting a little strange I swear he was actually eyeing me up, I tend to forget Damon use to seeing me in those horrid corset dresses, I couldn't help but tease him about it. He had told me that Elena couldn't keep the animal blood down and she been throwing it up, so we made our way to the church where memorial was going to be taken place. When we got to the basement we bump into Connor, he kept on making little sly comments towards Damon I think he had his suspicion. So intervened which I knew Connor didn't like at all, in that moment I just wanted to kick the crap out of Connor I wanted him to get the hell out of this town. Elena had come out of the toilet and Damon wanted us all to leave, but I needed to stay behind so Connor and I could have a little chat. Damon was reluctant to leave but he did in the end he knew I could handle myself.
"What the f*ck are you doing here Connor?" He looked at me smirking, god he really could be a dick at times, but today wasn't a day to test my patients.
"I'm here doing my job Star, the real question is, what are you doing here?" I walked up to him and pinned him against the wall, he had no right to question my reason of being here, and he needed to be reminded that he was beneath me.
"Connor do you know who you're speaking to! You have no right in questioning me, now I want you to leave this town now." He began to chuckle, I really weren't in the mood for him right now even more so that upstairs there was a bunch of vampires unaware of a deadly vampire hunter.
"Listen Star I I'm here for once reason only, and that to kill vampire so my mark grows." I let go of his neck and stepped back, he knew there was vampires here. "And this town crawling with them." He began to smirk once again, it was time for Conner to be taught a lesson so I grabbed him and twisted his arm behind his back
"You get the hell out of this town Connor before I do something I won't regret." I pushed him and he fell into the couch looking at me with disbelief. "I mean it Connor." I turned around and walked away from him. I went looking for Damon and Elena they weren't in the church so I made my way outside. I notice them both under a tree, as I walked over I saw Damon handing her the blood bag; she took it and rips the top open. She begins to drink it, but then she starts to be sick, she spits the blood out, Damon takes the bag back from her.
"What wrong with her?" Damon looked up at me and he really looked concerned, I approached Elena "Hey, are you ok?" Elena stopped coughing up the blood she looked at me with fear in her eyes.
"No, it tastes like…. What's wrong with me?" I began to wipe away the blood off of Elena's chin we couldn't have people seeing her like this. I didn't know what to tell her it was unheard of a vampire not able to hold down blood.
"I don't know, maybe it's your doppelgänger blood, you're rejecting the transition." She looked at me a little stunned, it was the only possible reason I could think of then again that whore Katherine survived through it all somehow unfortunately.
"I'm dying, aren't I?" Her eyes began to glaze over, I looked up at Damon and he came closer to her.
"No, you're not dying, you just need to drink from the vein." I thought vampire could drink blood from wherever, but hey Damon knows better than me his the actually a vampire.
"No. No, I don't – I can't risk killing anyone, Damon. Maybe I'm better off dead." Damon grabs her by the shoulders, the way he was looking at her with concern but also adoration was a little concerning.
"Don't you think like that? Elena, you'll be fine. Okay?" I watched as Damon gently caresses her face, then it hit me that Damon had feeling for Elena, how stupid could he be to fall for his brother's girl.
"I have to get back inside" Elena said a little flustered before walking back towards the church. I looked up and saw Stefan approaching us, then Damon started to walk away. Stefan didn't look too happy to see me here, but he began to follow Damon. I think I better stop a potential brother fright.
"Ah, great." Damon said to himself, Stefan was catching up with him, lucky for me I knew how to walk fast in killer heels.
"What's in the bag, Damon?" Stefan demanded Damon turned around smirking. This wasn't going to go down well and considering that Elena turning to Damon for help and not Stefan is slightly concerning.
"Mid-service snack, church always gets me hungry the whole blood Christ thing, you know." Stefan glares at him, Damon looked over at me and I shook my head at him as joking wasn't the right thing to do he should come clean with Stefan about this situation with Elena. "I brought it for Elena." Damon said flatly, Stefan went closer to him.
"Are you really that intent on having your way?" Stefan shouted at him as they were nose to nose, I separated the both of them and stood in the middle of them so it couldn't get heated.
"It's not my way, it's the only way." Damon tried to get closer to Stefan and I pushed him away gently, these two had too much bad blood already they didn't need this Elena problem to add more.
"Boys, I don't think now the right time for you both to be arguing" I needed them both to stop this it was a little ridicules, they were brothers that cared about the same girl they should be working together not against one another.
"What should we take a page out of your book Star, and walk away." I turned to face Stefan I know I hurt him but I'm not going to let him keep throwing digs at me.
"Listen I get it, you hate me. You will hate me for eternity that fine, I'll deal with that, but this isn't about me right now Stefan. This is about Elena, and if you both truly care about her then you will stop the fighting, and find the reason why she can't hold blood down." Stefan looked a little stunned that probably wasn't the best way for him. If these two cared about Elena that much they needed to stop fighting and find out a way to help her.
"She's starving, Stefan! She hasn't been able to keep blood down for days." It had been going on that long? Why did Damon know about it but not Stefan?
"What are you talking about? She told me she was fine." I don't think she was fine at all, I'll be more concerned with the fact that she turned to his brother rather than turn to him.
"Well, then she lied, your four legged protein shake was a bust. The juice box is a no go. She can't even keep my blood down." Damon seriously didn't do that, how freaking stupid was her to do that! In that moment Stefan stood there looking speechless probably trying to absorb what he had just heard.
"She drank from you?" You could see the hurt in his eyes; I really felt sorry for him all I wanted to do is hug him, but right now that would be real stupid of me considering how things are with us.
"Oops. Did I say that out loud?" Damon walked away; Stefan looks hurt I approached him I couldn't leave him like this, vampires blood sharing was something personal, and I don't think at the time Elena knew that, but Damon sure did.
"Hey." I placed my hand on his should and he moved away, he didn't even want me to touch him, what was I meant to do with him?
"Don't Star." I shook my head and walked away from him, I don't know what to do with him right now the Stefan I knew never had this much anger, well I guess people change. Stefan isn't the same person I met all them years ago and I needed to accept that.
Stefan P.O.V
I don't know what happened in the woods with me hallucinating that I was making out with Star, then to suddenly seeing Elena run off I didn't understand what was going on. Maybe she was overwhelmed by it all. I went back to the house and Elena was there I was trying to make light of the situation so I got a bottle of champagne from the year she was born. But Elena kind of killed the moment with saying that she puked up the blood that she drank, I tried to convince her that I couldn't hold it down for a month I need her to believe in herself which she agree to. Elena had gone down to the grill to speak to Damon she was convinced that he had something to do with the explosion at the Young farm, but I tried to tell her that he would have been busy deal with Star. Elena wanted to hear it from him, I gave up trying to convince her otherwise. She would of began to question about Star, and that subject I didn't want to talk about, I mean Elena and I have spoken about everything but this is the one thing I've kept from her. I don't know how she will take to having another of my ex coming into our lives. Well I don't have to worry because I made myself pretty clear to Star that I want her gone.
I had a phone call from Caroline telling me that someone attacked Tyler in his home, she brought him over to the boarding house, when I began to take the wooden bullets out they burnt my fingers. I cleared one off with alcohol I notice that it had some inscription on it, we didn't know what it mean but I knew only would be able to help. When I went to Bonnie's she was in a state she even uninvited any vampires that entered her home, this was all down to some magical issues she was having. I tried to talk to her, and she finally let me into the house. Bonnie hasn't been able to practise magic and she would wake up with her sheets on fire, I knew it was a bad idea coming to her. Bonnie wouldn't let me leave until I told her the reason why I came, which I did when I showed her the bullets. She didn't have any idea what they were and they weren't magical, but she said she would look into it.
I went home and got ready for this memorial service, when I arrived I saw Elena going back into the church looking upset from where Damon and Star were. My instant reaction was to find out what went on, and now I wished I didn't I was full on raging right now. With finding out that Damon fed Elena his, how could he do that! Blood shearing is so personal and Damon did that with my girlfriend. Then there was Star I thought she would of gone by now, but no she was still here in the flesh. When she turned around and said she coming to terms that I will hate her for all eternity, a part of me felt hurt could I hate her that long? I was in love with her for so long I didn't hate her all I felt right now was hurt, hurt with the fact that we could have been together and things would have been different. But there nothing we can do about, it my priority was Elena and making sure she was ok, I can't keep thinking about what if's anymore. I had to let go. I made my way into the church and I notice Caroline and Tyler sitting in one of the pews, what the hell is he doing here? There a hunter on the loos who knows what Tyler is, I approached them both.
"What are you doing here, Tyler?" He looked up at me and smiled. I wasn't in any mood for this right now, this hunter could be anywhere and here he was in a church filled with innocent people.
"Being sensitive to the community's loss." Did Tyler have a death wish? I think he was more foolish more than anything else, hybrid always so cocky.
"With a hunter out to get you?" I glanced at Caroline and I could tell she felt a little awkward, how could she let him be here?
"I'm not letting a hunter stop me from where I'm supposed to be." His going to get himself killed at this rate.
"Also, if he shows his face, I'm gonna kick his ass." Caroline added, I couldn't deal with this I had enough on my plate already. I walked away and moves down a row Mayor Lockwood was at the podium, preparing to start the memorial. I sat down two rows behind Elena I couldn't be near her right now not after I found out that she sheared blood with Damon, it may have not meant anything to her, but to me it did. I don't know if I can accept it and move on.
"Before we begin the Mass, we'd like to open the floor to anyone who would like to share a memory about our late friends on the Town Council. I know that April Young wanted to say a few words about her dad. April? April, are you still here, honey?" Everyone began to turn around looking for April, poor kid just lost her dad I don't think she would be up to talking to the whole town. "Is there anyone else who would like to share a recollection or a memory about Pastor Young?" No one gets up for a moment, but Elena stands up, I glanced over at Caroline she appear to be worried. "Come on up, Elena." I don't know what Elena up to but I don't think it a good idea for her to go up there.
Star P.O.V
Once again Stefan pushed me away I really should just give up trying; I mean his happy with Elena they are dating. The only thing that bothering me right now is the fact that Damon has feeling for her too, it's like another Katherine repeat. Granted that Elena seems nothing like Katherine apart from the way she looks, but you can see she clearly in love with Stefan, and I'm sure they going to have a happy eternity together. I found Damon he was little upset with what happened, I didn't really talk I just let him rant. I really didn't have much to say about the situation I could see it from both point of views so I kept my opinion to myself. Damon and I walked into the church Stefan, and a dark haired guy and blonde all turn to look at us. I didn't know who they were but I'm guessing there vampires. Damon dips his hands in a bowl of holy water and touches his forehead, chest, and shoulders in the formation of a cross.
"Don't know why that always makes me smile" I looked at him and shook my head only he could make a comment like that.
"You have a disturbing sense humour Mr Salvatore." He began to chuckle and he ushered me to a pew, I looked and Stefan was in front of me. Wonderful Damon. I sat down between both brother and I looked at Elena who has made her way to the podium I guess she was giving some kind of eulogy.
"She doesn't look so good." Damon said with concern in his voice; please don't let them start in a church this is the last place they should be starting this.
"Maybe you should have told me she was rejecting all food sources." Yep they are going to argue in a freaking church, don't either of them have any respect?
"Jealousy's beneath you, brother." Damon teased him; I'm not going to get involved I'm going to leave them both to it, because I'll only end up being the bad guy if I do.
"Oh, bite me." I'm trying so hard not to say anything right now, I felt like their mother sitting between the both of them bickering.
"I uh – when I talked to April earlier she was kind of nervous about coming up to speak. And now that I'm up here, I'm kind of nervous too." Stefan and Damon glance at each other, Elena right now looked a mess, as she was holding on to the sides of the podium to keep her composure. "The worst day of loving someone is the day that you lose them." I knew that feeling all too well, I had lost many people in my life and not matter how much time goes by the pain will always be there. Elena starts to breathe heavily what was wrong with her?
"Nobody move. Don't turn around, it's a trap." I looked at Damon who had this harden expression on his face, unfortunately for me I didn't have vampire hearing so I had no idea what he was talking about.
"What going on?" He placed his hand on my leg in a sign of comfort.
"The hunter here, and he trying to call us out." That freaking ass hole Connor! Didn't I make myself clear to him when I told him to leave town.
"I um…" Elena began to breathe in and out, I sae veins start crawling towards her eyes. Stefan got up and walked passed us and went up to the podium and wraps his arm around her.
"its okay, it's okay. I got you, I got you." He really did love her, Elena really lucky to have him, I watched as Stefan lead Elena off the stage and back into the row next to Matt. The priest goes over to the podium.
"Please turn to page forty two in your hymn book. Let us join together in a song" Everyone in the room stands up and begins to sing.
"I'm gonna go rip his head off now" It looks like the vampires were all having a conversation, but I couldn't let Damon do anything to Connor not with the consequences that will happen. "Well, I think the risk will be slightly diminished when I, you know, rip his head off." I had to stop him doing anything stupid, Damon killed Conner then he will seal his fate.
"Damon you're not going to rip his head off" I told him firmly Damon looked at me arching his brow I swear I will kick his ass if he does anything.
"You have ten seconds before I go old fashioned on the new guy." Seriously him becoming a vampire his stubbornness has definitely been heighten. "Three, two, one. Bye" Damon starts to get up and I pushed him back down he looked at me a little pissed. I notice that Stefan was looking at Matt and Elena, he lets Matt take Elena in his arms, she moves to Matt's collar and begins to drink from his neck. Now I get why they were all panicking Elena couldn't control her urges, after a while, Elena stops drinking. She pulls away from Matt Elena wipes the blood from her mouth. I needed to do something and I think I'm about to do something incredibly stupid. I walked pass Damon and began to make my way up to the podium.
"Excuse me. I just wanted to say a few words about Pastor Young." The priest smiled at me and I walked over to the podium I didn't have a clue what I was going to say about a guy I never even knew. I looked up and I saw Connor on the balcony, he had a sniper gun pointing in my direction. I swear I'm going to kick his freak ass after all of this.
"I didn't know Pastor Young too well, but I know how it feels to lose someone you care about deeply" I glanced over at Stefan he was looking at me with concerned. "Not so long along I lost my husband. When he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him. I wish I'd paid better attention. I didn't yet think of time as finite." Speaking about Nik and his death was hard, a part of me wishes that I had seen him for one last time, that I could look into his eyes and tell him that it didn't matter to me who he was. "When something terrible happens, that the sadness and loss and aching pain of the heart will "lessen as time passes," but it isn't true. Sorrow and loss are constant, but if we all had to go through our whole lives carrying them the whole time, we wouldn't be able to stand it. The sadness would paralyze us—" The room was filled with a loud bang, and I felt a pain in my chest before falling backwards onto the ground. I looked down to see that I had a stake sticking out of my chest, Conner had shot me that bastard dead. I looked up to see Stefan was next to me with his face filled with fear.
"Star." His voice was trembling with fear, this was a side to him since being here, and right now all I wanted him to do was take this goddamn stake out of me.
"Stefan take it out of me please." He rips the stake out of my chest, oh god that feel better. I saw Elena and the blonde girl was stand behind Stefan, as I sat up.
"I'm gonna kill that bastard" I tried to get up but Stefan held me down, there was no way in hell I was going to allow Conner to get away with doing that.
"Damon's way ahead of you. Stay here, I have to help him." Stefan starts to leave, but Elena grabs his hand stopping him.
"What about April?" Elena asked with concern, the blonde got hold of Elena hand.
"I got it. Go." Stefan leaves, I had to go and help them both, I couldn't let either of them kill Conner. I tried to get back up and Blondie pushed me down, I was getting sick of people doing that to me.
"I have to call an ambulance," I heard the mayor said as I tried to get up from the ground again, there was no need to do all that.
"No, I'm fine I'm immortal I'm heal." What is with these people?
"The whole town just watched you get shot. I'm calling an ambulance." I guess he had a point, Carol leaves the blond looks at me and gives me a small smile.
"That was pretty brave of you to do that." It was more stupid than anything else, but rather me than the brother's. "Sorry I'm Caroline Forbes" he extended her hand and I shook it.
"Nice to meet you Caroline, I'm Star Mikaelson," I watched as fear spread across Caroline's face, as she backed away from me. I'm such a fool why did I say Mikaelson.
"You're another one of Klaus siblings?" I knew the Mikaelson weren't very welcome around here, I might as well fess up they all going to find out soon or later.
"No, I'm Niklaus wife." She looked even more stunned at the fact I told her I'm his wife, Niklaus maybe all evil but that didn't mean I was. But I have a feeling that the reaction I'm going to be getting from a lot of people.
Damon P.O.V
I was furious that hunter just shot down Star in front of everyone, I wanted to go up there and check she was ok, but I wanted to rip him to shreds a lot more. I made my way out of the church and I saw Connor throws his duffel bags full of weapons in the bed of his pickup truck. He gets in his car and shuts the door then I ripped the door off, I grabbed Connor out and threw him onto the ground. Connor pulled out his pistol and shoots me multiple times. I grabbed the gun and threw it aside, Connor rolls me over and is now on top of him. He pulls a stake from his belt and is about to stab me in the heart, but I used my strength to fight him from doing so.
"Damon?" I heard Stefan call out, as soon as Connor hears Stefan, so he runs to his truck and drives off. I saw Stefan runs towards me while I was still lying on the ground, moaning.
"Ow." How many times did he freaking want to shoot me, I'm going to hunt him down and rip his heart out. Stefan holds his hand out to me, I took it then Stefan starts to pull me up, but stops and punches me in the face. I fell back to the ground "Uhh, what the hell was that for?" I shouted at him as Stefan glared at me.
"You know what." Stefan walks away, leaving me still on the ground well I think it was down to two reason things one being feeding Elena my blood and two not stopping Star from getting hurt. Yep my brother was fooling himself he was still in love with Star even after all of these years.
Star P.O.V
Well maybe I shouldn't have dropped that bomb shell to Caroline about me being Nik wife because now Elena knew and the dark haired guy called Tyler, I really wish I kept my mouth shut. All three of them came down the hospital with me and I was put in a private room I didn't know why I had to be here I was totally fine. What I was actually surprised about was that actually let me explain myself. I told them what they needed to know, I didn't lie I just kept part out. Like the part that Stefan and I were in love in 1860's. They all left apparently they were having some kind of meeting of some sort; I was just waiting to get checked out. I got out of bed and too off this dreadful hospital gown off, I walked over and picked up my dress. I heard the door open and Stefan walked in.
"Oh I'm sorry." He was about to walk out, I didn't want him to leave he obviously came here for a reason, and I don't think it was to yell at me.
"No don't go." I quickly put my dress on; he turned back around to see him standing there awkwardly. "Is Damon here?" I asked as Stefan walking further into the room approaching me.
"No, it's just me." He seemed a little nervous as he spoke, I needed to get out of here and talk to Damon I went over and picked up my bag.
"Stefan if you've come here to have a dig at me, I think I've had enough for the day. You can save them for tomorrow." I began to walk away from him but he intercepted me.
"I need to know why you came back Star." I thought he didn't care about why I came back here, what it took me to get staked for him to what to know.
"Stefan don't do this please—" He cut me off before I could finish what I was about to say.
"I thought I could handle not knowing, but I need to know Star." I looked away from him, I didn't know what Stefan wanted from me one moment he hated me the next his acting all concerned.
"Why do you want to know now Stefan? Because you made it pretty clear to me you don't want me in your life." He got hold of my hand and I felt a slight spark like the day when I first met him.
"Because today when you got shot I thought I lost you Star, I thought I could let you go but even after all this time I can't." He really wanted to hear me out? I moved my hand away from his because it didn't feel right, he loved Elena and I didn't want to complicate that.
"Stefan I didn't come here to complicate your life, I came here because for 147 years I had the guilt that I lied to you and Damon. When I found out that you were both turned by Katherine, as selfish as it sounds I was happy. I've been walking this earth for over a thousand years Stefan. Not letting anyone know who I truly I'm…" He came closer to me and touch my cheek.
"Tell me who you are then." He spoke as he looked deeply into my eyes.
"I've lived a lonely life Stefan, and only on two occasion I felt alive—" I couldn't do this what was the point to all of this nothing going to change. "—let just go back to you hating me, it will make things easier" I moved away from him began to head to the door, I don't know what worse Stefan being understanding or the Stefan hating my guts.
"I can't hate you Star. I could never hate you, you were my first love." I was about to open the door, I held my tears back before turning to him, he looked at me with those loving eyes.
"I think you will hate me when I tell you this—" He interrupts me before I could finish my sentence.
"I could never hate you Star." We'll let see if he means that.
"You remember me telling you I was married." He nodded his head recalling the story I told him. "Well never told you his full name—" Stefan looked at me frowning "—Niklaus Mikaelson." Stefan stood there not saying a word, Damon told me about the hatred that Stefan had for Niklaus so knowing that his first love was in fact his immortal enemy wife will devastate him. I opened the door to leave as there was nothing more to be said between us now.
"Did you love him, like you claimed to love me?" He wasn't going to let me walk away if I didn't answer that, I took in a deep breath and looked at him.
"The love I had with Niklaus consumed me I was blinded by everything, to me he was my world and nothing could ever compare to him." Stefan face began to sadden "But then I met you 371 years later I met you, and the love you gave me was so pure—" He looked at me like he wanted to know more but I couldn't talk about all of this, I had to let go Stefan. He had something good going with Elena and I'm not coming here to ruin it. "—Stefan you have a new life now, and I have to move on with mine. I've lost you to all of my lies, I think we should leave the past where it needs to be in the past." I walked out of the room and I felt like I was finally letting of him, I had to let him go I needed to take my own advice and leave the past where it belongs in the past.
