Chapter (I don't remember which number): Compromise

Stefan rested the side of his head against the cool oak frame of the rooms entrance, enjoying the shocked and somewhat terrified looks of those who stood before him. Mayor Lockwood, her hand to her heart, half raised from her chair, what could she do really? Nothing but a worthless human, he could claim her life in seconds with nothing more than just the twitch of his wrist. Sheriff Forbes, her hand tight on the gun strapped to her hip, not that it would do her any good against someone like him. Then there were those who posed somewhat of a challenge. Tyler Lockwood, Stood behind his mother, teeth bared ready to spring at any moment. Tyler. The only Hybrid Klaus ever created that Stefan hadn't brought to death. He had, for many years simplify over looked Tyler, forgotten practically, that he had been Klaus follower at all. Little more than a wolf. Seeing him here in front of him though. That was different. All his years of hunting down, and murdering everything Klaus had ever put his hands on came rushing back to him. How could he have been so foolish, to allow this boy to continue to breathe, to live and enjoy the town that was rightfully his own. No, no more free passes for the Lockwood boy. At that second he forgot about everything else in the room. Of his old friends, of his old life. Of Caroline, whose face was full of hurt but eyes full of fury, of Bonnie who he had always been able to turn to, no matter what, and count on for a solution, and even of his brother, who stood in the corner, shielding his wife, who was trying desperately to step in front of him and be the protector. He forgot it all, his carefully thought out plans and procedures, and Lunged forward, fangs bared, wanting nothing more than to rip into Tyler's flesh, to feel the blood in his mouth and witness the bright red color flow from his veins, before reaching deep into his chest and ripping his heart clean out of place. He lunged but again found he bared from entrance by an invisible force. How could this be? He had already entered the building, already been invited in! So why was this one room still blocking his way? The answer came from within the room he was so desperately trying to claw his way inside. The voice was little more than a whisper, as the mayor spoke into Liz's ear

"This wing was an addition, in 1935, it has a separate deed" Stefan rolled his eyes, it seemed that every time he came close to getting what he wanted some unknown force had to come and rip it out of his grasp.

"Fine" he spoke softly, but clear enough that he knew all of those in the room before him could hear it. It's not like they could stay in there forever. Eventually one of them would beak, attempt to escape, and he would be waiting, use them as bait to lure her out. He knew Elena, knew that she would rather die herself than have others give up their lives to protect her. So he would wait. He had waiting 15 years, he could take a few more hours, but as the minutes ran by he could feel himself growing more and more irritated, his patients wearing thin, his judgment growing unclear, and his mind once again drifted towards the idea of feeding. He had fed Meer hours ago, yet he once again craved the warm rich taste of the vein. He found that as he left himself indulge in more and more feedings, the more he craved them. The more he needed them, the less time he was able to sustain himself. He felt the irritation growing in his throat, and he knew that if one of them didn't let up soon, he would have to abandon this whole hostage plan and find another way to obtain what was rightfully his. He tried to keep his mind off his hunger and cravings, Pacing the space around the rooms entrance, thinking to himself, trying to figure out a backup plan, for when and if his desirers got the best of him. It was then, when his back was to the doorway, and his mind not on what occurring in the room before him, that it happened.

" ELENA NO!" His brothers alarmed voice brought him back to the situation at hand, but by that time it was too late, he felt a strong weight jump onto his back from behind, and a pair of small hands wrap around his neck, the last thing her heard was a sharp crack, as his neck twisted, and everything went black.

He came to what seemed like seconds later, but by the misty gray of the sky outside the window, it must have been several hours. He felt groggy, weak, and undeniably hungry. He looked down upon himself to see that he was bowed to a chair. The room he was in was cold and damp, the floor and ceiling around him made completely of harsh stone. The only source of light was the small window, to his left, placed too high to see out it clearly. He had just enough time to take in his surroundings before the door in front of him burst open. There stood, none other than the man he had set out that day to kill. The one man he had once sworn he would do anything to protect. His brother.

"What do you want?" Stefan choked out, his voice harsh and cracked from hunger and vervain.

"I think it's time you and I had a chat, brother" and with that Damon strolled into the room slamming the door shut behind him.

( Ok I know there was like zero delena in his chapter! Super Sorry!
