Chapter 14:

Betrayal of Heart

...

Present

"Klaus…"

The owner of the name smirked at the fear emitted from the young vampire's tone and watched him tightened his hold around the unconscious human in his arms as he took a step back away from him cautiously.

"Stefan…" greeted the Original hybrid to his old companion during the werewolves hunt, "It's good to see you again"

Stefan silenced in respond at the greeting as the sound of soft footstep entered his ear from behind. Kol walked out from the room and rubbed his healed neck in anger as he raised his burning dark gaze to the lowly vampire, "You…" he growled before turning his attention to his older brother in surprised to see him inside the abandoned warehouse, "Niklaus, I wasn't expecting you"

"Kol… why is she unconscious?"

The young Original glanced sideway to the said woman and raised his head up at his brother with a fake innocent look upon his face, "I don't know what are you talking about" he smirked, licking his lips tauntingly to the hybrid as he could still taste the sweetness of her blood inside his mouth, "I was taking a small sip that's all"

Klaus glared angrily at his younger brother and couldn't help but growl as he flashed before him with his hand clenching around his throat, "You drink her blood"

Kol gritted his teeth in pain at the hand circling around his newly healed neck and smirked sadistically as he rasped through the tightness of his grip, "a-and I love every drop of it…"

Seeing the two vampires too preoccupied with themselves, Stefan took this chance to escape and turned away to the opened entrance but was instantly stopped by a pair of Klaus's hybrid standing in front of him to block his escape. Klaus let his brother go and turned around at the ex-ripper with a stoic façade on his face, "Stefan…" he said his name seriously as he walked towards him, "Give me Rosalyn"

The youngest between the Salvatore's brother took a step back away from the approaching Original hybrid and shook his head in disagreed, "No" he answered, "I won't give her to you"

Klaus stopped ten feet away from the tense immortal and smirked darkly with burning anger swimming within the light blue orbs of his eyes as he crossed his arms against his broad chest, "Is that so?" he amused, glancing sideway to his faithful hybrids with an expectedly look flashed within his eyes to them and in a blink of an eye, three more hybrids appeared behind him as they all circling the tense vampire threateningly.

The muscles inside his body instantly coil at the hybrids circling around him as he tightened his hold around his ex-fiancée.

"Kill him"

With that order from their master, the hybrids began to attack. Stefan turned his body around and shield the red haired woman as he dodged their attack as much as possible but was instantly cornered by them into the wall. He panted heavily in pain as he hold the unconscious human tightly onto his chest, 'Shit!' he cursed as he glanced around them thoughtfully for escape, 'I'm cornered'

He looked down to his precious cargo in his arms and bit inside of his cheek with pure determination inside his forest green eyes. He gently leaned her onto the wall behind him and took a step forwards towards the waited hybrids with his eyes glaring in feral as he face started to shift into his vampire's one.

As if were cue, Stefan began his attack to the hybrids. With every attack exchanged between them, his ripper persona began to resurface as he killed all Klaus's minions in cold blood before glancing around to find the missing master and his brother.

"…Stefan"

The soft voice of her entered in his subconscious mind as he turned around to see her looking at him sadly. His deep crimson eyes slowly turned into his usual green as his humanity began to take over his body, "Rosalyn…" he whispered her name before looking down into the bloody ground in shame. Every inch of his body was splattered with blood of his enemies, making him looked like a real killer he pretend not to be…

A monster.

Ignoring the blood splattered all over him, she raised her arms up for him and smiled, "Come here" she said, waiting for him to get closer as she slowly wrapped her arms around the shame vampire in comfort. Stefan stiffed at the hug before slowly relax as he returned it with his, tightly, "I'm sorry" he apologised, chocking by his sudden sobs as he tucked his head on the crook of her neck, "I'm sorry I getting you involve with this"

"It's alright, Stefan… it's not your fault"

"But-"

Rosalyn hushed the crying young man softly with her whispering words and rubbed his back soothingly, "It's alright. Things happens, Stefan. We can't do anything about it than move on from it" she told him wisely as she placed a small kiss onto his forehead and pulled away to see his bloody face.

Stefan shifted his gaze away from her bright emerald eyes in shame but was stopped by her hand that was cupping his cheek and turned him back to her, "Thank you…" she smiled, leaning closer to his face as she kissed his lips gently in gratitude. He closed his eyes at the familiar sensation of her kiss and kissed her back as he grabbed her hand on his cheek and couldn't help but gave her a squeeze as they both pulled away.

"Come on, let's go home"

He took her into his arms and instantly made their way back to the Salvatore's boarding house.

…

Founder's Ball – 1864

A pair of light green eyes followed the chattering couple longingly as he twirled his dance partner before pulling her back once again into his arms. Katherine frowned at the lack of attention from her Salvatore and shifted her deep brown eyes at the direction as she saw Damon laughing with the fiancée of the said man.

"What's wrong?" she asked, turning her gaze back to him knowingly as she watched him avoiding her eyes.

"Nothing…"

Katherine stopped their dance suddenly in the man's surprise and began leading him along towards the source of his longing, "Damon… Rosalyn…" she greeted the couple sweetly as she hugged Stefan's tense arms, "How are you two doing?"

"Good" smiled the red haired warmly in greeting as she took a small sip of her wine, "I see you both dancing. You two look great"

"Why thank you"

Suddenly a waiter tripped over something unexpectedly and causes the wine he brought on top of the silver tray to splatter over her red dress. Rosalyn gasped in surprised at the wetness on her dress and cursed softly under her breath as she gave her glass to the shock Damon.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry miss" panicked the young man as he wiped the stain with the sleeve of his white uniform dress.

"O-Oh no. It's alright" she waved him off, "Do you know where the restroom is?"

"A-Ah yes. Please follow me"

The woman excused herself and followed the waiter to clean the stain on her dress. Katherine hid her smirk behind her hand and looked up deeply at the younger Salvatore's eyes, saying "You will forget your feeling to Rosalyn" she compelled "You're in love with me"

The clear green eyes slowly dull in daze as he repeated the words softly before she turned to the older ones and did it to him. That night, Katherine compelled the two Salvatores into loving her but unknown to her, the feeling they kept for red haired woman was stronger than her compulsion and they still fall for her. Over and over again.

…

Salvatore's Boarding House – Present

"I love you, Damon"

Damon sighed in deep frustration and ran his hand through the ebony of his hair with an annoyed look appeared on his handsome face, "I told you for thousands of time, Elena. I don't love you-"

"-don't or wouldn't"

"Elena…"

"Stop!" cut the brunette, "Don't you dare say it just a silly crush what so ever. I know my feeling towards you is real!"

Damon shook his head in denial as he looked down onto his glass of bourdon in his hands, "I don't love you, Elena" he whispered, "I love Rosalyn"

Elena tsked in annoyance at his denial and stalked her way to him. Damon raised his head in confused and was instantly pulled into a kiss by the teen girl. The front door of the living room opened caught their attention as he pulled away heavily from her deep kiss and turned around to see his younger brother standing on the doorframe with his eyes widened in disbelieve to see them.

"Stefan…" murmured Elena as she flushed embarrassedly at being caught by her ex-boyfriend and slowly pulled away from the frozen vampire, "Y-You're home…"

Damon snapped away from his shock and stuttered, "S-Stefan… I-It's not what it's look like"

Stefan bit inside of his cheek in anger and shook his head as he ignored his brother's explanation, "I can't believe you did that" he said to his brother as he ran his hand tiredly through his bloody locks.

"I-"

The light brunette man took a step to the side and revealed a shock and betrayed woman standing behind him near the door. The older vampire blinked at the action and couldn't help but gasped in horror at his lover appearance, "R-Rosalyn…" he breathed out her name as he took a step front to her, "I can explain…"

Her beautiful bright emerald eyes darkened slightly in sadness and pain as she shook her head to stop him, "That's enough, Damon…"

"But-"

Ignoring him, she glared at the Petrova doppelganger shifting nervously beside him and walked towards the young woman as she slapped her. The sound of the skin meeting her cheek echoed loudly inside the room as the stinging pain caught the brunette by surprised and couldn't help but looked up at the older woman in disbelieve.

Rosalyn pointed her forefinger at the girl and poked her harshly by her chest, "You. You just like you ancestor" she growled, "Playing with the Salvatore as if they were a toy like a spoilt brat" spat the red haired angrily as she glared darkly to the fear brunette, "Stop playing with both of them, Elena! You don't ever deserve to be loved by them"

She stepped away from her and turned her anger to her betray lover, "And you" she said to him, "I'm disappointed with you!"

He winced.

"I thought you said you don't love her anymore. I thought you said you love me but here I am finding out you kissing with her while I was kidnapped by a crazy blood-drink and have to watch Stefan being brutally torture"

"I-"

She raised her hand to stop him and crossed her arms tightly against her chest as she shifted her attention away from him to the floor underneath her, "I can't believe you did this to me" she whispered sadly as she kept her gaze away from him, "I trusted you…"

"I'm sorry…"

The burning anger inside her chest slowly disappeared and couldn't help but sighed heavily in exhaustion as she turned away from him, saying "I think we should break up"

Hearing the words spoken by his lover, Damon raised his head up to her and instantly grabbed her wrist to stop her, "No…" he said, "Don't-"

"I'm sorry…"

He shook his head in denial at the decision and took a step forwards to her, saying "I love you…" as he begged her to rethink of her decision with his icy blue eyes shifting to his brother for in seek of help. Stefan silenced at the begging blue eyes of his older brother and turned away from the couple as he fisted his hand in guilt.

Rosalyn turned back at the ebony haired vampire and gently tugged her wrist away from his hand, "Don't say it if you didn't meant it"

"Rose-"

She turned away from the begging vampire and walked out from their house into her car. She started the engine of her black Camaro and quickly drove away from the boarding house to hers, leaving behind the Salvatore brothers to their matter with tears fallen down from her eyes onto her laps. The song on the radio accompanied her as she drove off into the street to her little sanctuary…

…

Same bed but it feels just a little bigger now

Hearing the lyric of her favourite song, Boyce Avenue feat with Fifth Harmony-When I was your man cover, she turned the volume up and couldn't help but wiped her streaming tears away from her flush cheek as she listened to it…

Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same

When our friends talked about you, all it does is just tears me down

'cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

….

It all just sound like ohhhh…

Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize

That you should have bought me flower

And held my hand

Should have gave you all my hours

When I had the chance

Take me to every party

'cause all I wanted to do was dance

Now my baby dancing

But she's dancing with another man

…

She pulled over in front of her dark house and began leaning her head heavily against the wheel of her car as her shoulder slumped in deep depression and sadness for the event happen inside the boarding house. The memory of them kissing repeated played inside her mind as she closed her eyes tiredly at the remembrance and let the song singing her pain away.

Back at the Salvatore's boarding house, the youngest of the brother sighed deeply in defeat at the heavy silence surrounds them as he looked down at his brother sadly, "I guess history do repeat itself…" he murmured, turning away from the silence man as he walked away into his room. Damon silenced at the words as he hung his head down in deep shame, leaning heavily onto his seat with his alcohol within his shaky hand.

"Damon…"

Elena who was standing awkwardly beside him reached out to comfort him but was brushed away harshly by the older man as he glared at the doppelganger, "Get out!" he growled, clenching his hand around the glass tightly in anger.

"D-Damon…"

"I SAID, GET OUT!"

Elena flinched at the harshness within his tone and slowly walked away in defeat towards the front door of the house, leaving him behind as he threw his glass onto the wall in pure anger.

"FUCK IT!"

He screamed, trashing the living room in hope of easing his burning anger for the kiss as he bit the inside of his cheek and clenched his hand tightly into a firm fist, "Stupid!" he cursed to himself and couldn't help but punched the wall of the living room before running his bruised hand through the ebony of his hair in deep frustration. He raised his head up towards the front down and narrowed his icy blue eyes as he ran out from his gloomy house to find a quick snack to occupy his thought as well as his aching thirst.

Salvatore's Mansion – 1864

"I think my legs started to cramp"

A faint snort managed to escape from the maiden's mouth as she turned her bright emerald eyes to the man standing beside her in mocking annoyance, "Shut up, Stefan" she whispered, keeping her posture as still as possible as she waited from the painter to finish his masterpiece. The young man frowned at the words and started to twitch around to ease his stiff muscles on his cramp legs as he glared at the oblivious painter, "I wonder how long it takes to finish a painting" he mumbled to his fiancée as he shifted his forest green eyes down to the seated woman beside him.

"Probably for a couple of minutes, Stef. Be patient"

"Easy for you to say, you're the one who get to sit"

Rosalyn shrugged at the whining coming from him and continued to look forward to the painter to maintain her pose, "I still thinking that taking picture is more easier than painting one" she murmured.

"I couldn't help but agreed"

Placing down his utensil, the painter smiled in pure satisfaction as he stood up from his stool and turned the canvas around for them to see the result of posing for hours for the picture. It was a painting of them. A gift from Giuseppe for the wedding as she gasped softly in surprised at its beauty, "It's beautiful…" commented the red haired woman as she stood up from her chair to take a closer look.

There she was in the picture, sitting elegantly with the flowing midnight blue dresses bought by the father of both brother to his soon-to-daughter-in-law beside Stefan who looked handsome in his dark blue three-pieces suits. His left arm circled fondly around her shoulder as he leaned closer beside her with firm and strong façade on his face. In the picture, he looked like a real man, standing tall and proud as if he was unshakable by anything throw at him as he faced the viewer.

"Thank you Ms Cartwright"

Stefan silenced as he looked down at the painting thoughtfully before shifting his attention to the woman standing beside him.

Rosalyn's House - Present

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Rosalyn switch on her lamp on her nightstand and turned to the window of her room to see a familiar face smiling sadly behind the thick glass, "Can I come in?" asked the man loudly for her to hear him as he watched her got up from her bed to the said window.

"Stefan… Why are you here?" questioned the red haired woman in returned as she let him inside her room.

"I want to make sure you safe"

Her emerald eyes softened warmed at his consideration and sighed as she walked back to her large bed, "Well, as you can see I'm perfect safe in my house" she smiled and couldn't help but patted the mattress beside her for him, "Come lay with me"

Stefan stood for a moment of hesitation and eventually took a place next to her on the bed. She leaned on her side and waited patiently for the Salvatore to get under the cover as she meet his forest green eyes, "Do you think he mean it?" she asked, pulling blanket closely to her chest to hide her uncertainness for the answer as she watched him looked up at the question and leaned closer to provide warmth for her human body as he took her shaky hand with his firm ones, "I'm sure he loves you" he answered and gave him a reassure squeeze as he let her tucked his hand underneath her rosy cheek.

"I wish it was true"

He raised his other hand to her cheek and caressed it gently with a sad smile occurred across his lips, "Go to sleep, Rose" he whispered, "Let the dream take you away from the pain and sadness of reality"

Smiling, she closed her eyes and squeezed his hand thankfully with a warm smile adorned on her lips, "I love you, Stefan…" she murmured, slowly slipping away into the darkness of her mind as she could feel his lips kissing her forehead fondly and leaned his forehead against his past fiancé with a sad yet content smile on his face, "I love you too…"

'More than I should have…'

Mikaelson's Mansion

Elijah scanned through the shelves filled ancient scrolls he managed to collect over the years of travelling and stopped at a certain patch written with an old cursive letters. He took it into his hand and slowly unfold it as he read the contain within the scroll. His dark brown eyes widened at the words written within it and turned to the entrance of the library to see his brother leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed against his chest.

"Looking for something…. brother?"

Review?

…

A/N: First of all, I want to thank you for all the reviews I receive from the last chapter. I know many of you wrote about 'the awkwardness of Stefan loving Rosalyn like a sister' and here I tell you why.

To me, I think why Stefan told her he loves her like a sister is that he wants to love her like a sister. I mean, he know Damon loves her and he know that she loves him back but deep inside his heart, he wants her to love him as well. He know it's wrong. He know he shouldn't feel it that way. He loves his brother and he don't want to hurt his feeling but as the time goes by the love he held for her grown and he started to denial it and claimed that he only love her like a sister. He kept saying it in hope of conversing himself but none matter how much he kept saying it, he knows he loves her more than he should have.

There you go, a long explanation to why Stefan kept mentioned he loves her like a sister. I hope this clears up the awkwardness. Please keep reviewing. I was hoping it would reach 100 reviews (crossing my finger). Well, stay tuned for more chapters. Until then.
