I'm sorry everybody for the title mishap, I wann't thinkin

Stefan tries to kill Caroline in a wedding trap and when Klaus and the others try to stop him, he makes a speech about how he knew Caroline never got over Klaus.


Caroline walked in the big room, her pageant dress ripped at the side, dried blood on her hip. She scanned the room with caution and walked farther down the aisle, trying not to think about how she'd imagined this moment so many times.

Stefan appeared, whistling 'Here comes the Bride' slowly and Caroline slowly turned to face him, a guarded expression on her face and her heart clenched. Stefan had his hands in his suit pockets, and stopped short, lifting his eyes easily to Caroline without a care in the world. Ripper Stefan right before her.

"Did you honestly think this was actually going to happen?" Stefan asked, breaking the silence. Caroline blinked and inhaled deeply, trying to overwhelm the pain in her chest with useless oxygen. "I mean, I was never in love with you. I never even loved you. And what I was thinking being friends with you when I didn't care whether you lived or died…I don't even know what those thoughts were now."

"Maybe if you turned it back on you'd remember." Caroline replied in a small voice, internally scolding herself for replying. Stefan laughed shortly.

"That's the best you can do?" He asked. He walked to her in slow strides and Caroline fought the urge to run. He didn't really mean this. He wasn't going to hurt her. When his face was inches from hers she could see the hint of the devil behind his eyes. "All that talk of making you my wife, of starting a future with you, was nothing but words to me. You are nothing to me." He whispered harshly, growling. Caroline's wide eyes on him distracted him from the fact she had a stake behind her back. In one fluid motion she shoved it in his shoulder, making him cry out as she ran from him.

Stefan was before her before she was even six feet from him.

"Now is the time you die, fiancé. And this is going to be the last time you ever believe someone loved you." Stefan said. He blinked and Caroline studied him in fright, wondering what he was waiting for. Stefan's murderous smile disappeared and his shoulders slumped.

"Hello Klaus." Caroline's eyes widened and a hint of a smile flitted across her face, whirling around to look at the entrance. Klaus stood before the back row of seats, while Bonnie and Enzo raced in as well, stopping when they connected eyes with Stefan.

Klaus looked like a downright mess. She didn't look much better but from all the things Stefan had just said, maybe that was why Klaus did. His face was sunken in, his face longer with curls hanging in his eyes, looking like he desperately needed a warm shower.

"Caroline are you alright?" Klaus asked quickly, walking farther into the room. Caroline quickly nodded with another smile flitting across her face.

"Ah ah, don't get cocky old friend. Caroline and I were just having a premarital spat." Stefan said, stepped to stand beside Caroline. Klaus's face twisted into one of disgust.

"You knew how I felt about her, and yet you kept her from being happy all for…what, exactly?" Klaus asked with a hiss

"Get back at you." Stefan said simply "All those times you kept me from Elena, kept me from my brother, just so I could play the role of a family member that actually cared about you. Just because, you couldn't stand to be alone. Why shouldn't I do the same to you?"

"Well I'm sure this has been fun for you Stefan, but why don't you come to collect another day?" Enzo said.

"Because Cade asked me to, Enzo. You know as well as I do that you don't disobey, the devil." Stefan replied

"There's plenty of lore on people doing just that." Bonnie noted, looking at Caroline. Caroline smiled at her and glanced towards Klaus, whose eyes had never left her. Stefan looked at everyone, finding only Enzo staring at him now, and turned to Caroline, who was staring at Klaus.

"I know you never got over him, Caroline." Stefan said. Caroline froze and looked at him. "When you were all guilt-ridden the day after that thing happened, I could tell you wanted it to happen again. And you know what? That put the icing on the cake." He stepped closer to her. "My lovely wife-to-be" He taunted.

"Take another step and you'll find your heart missing, mate." Klaus growled.

"Now first off, I'm unkillable. It's true. Damon got killed a few times in the past week, kept springing back like a weed, then he killed me a few times and the same thing happened. Second off, I know you're not gonna kill me, Klaus. You wouldn't kill me if I killed Caroline right in front of you." Stefan replied. Klaus sped to him and got in his face.

"I would kill you right here, just for talking about an idea of it." He murmured. Stefan scoffed with a smile and took a step back. Klaus studied him and looked at Caroline, taking her in his arm.

"Oh, don't take it personally Klaus. You've got bad breath." Stefan replied. He shrugged and looked at Caroline. "I guess spending three years buried in a wall in New Orleans and then chained up like a beast would leave you no time for oral hygiene."

"Wait what?" Caroline asked. Klaus looked at her. "He was stuck in a wall for three years? That's why no one knew where you were?" She asked again.

"Fun fact, Cade is pretty connected in hell. All those bad people who get killed he can send back to spy on other people. And Mikael had some pretty interesting things to say." Stefan replied.

"So you've known where Klaus was since you made the deal? You could've told me where he was when you were telling me you sold your soul to Cade?" Caroline demanded. Stefan smirked

"I didn't want to ruin the surprise." He replied. Caroline snarled at him. "In fact, I was hoping Klaus would take more time getting here, from the time he learned you were in danger and couldn't get out of it as per usual. If I hadn't made my little speech to you, I would've left your lifeless body for Klaus to find." Stefan told her, scolding himself for it. Klaus let Caroline go and took a step in, stabbing his hand through Stefan's chest and relishing in the pained look the ripper displayed, before taking out his heart. Caroline watched Stefan slump to the floor.

"How long exactly does it take for the Salvatore's to return from the dead?" Klaus asked

"We never stuck around long enough to find out." Bonnie replied.

"Well then, we mustn't waste time." Klaus replied, slipping his arm across Caroline's back and speeding them away, Bonnie and Enzo not far behind.
