Happy Friday loves! Have a great and wonderful weekend! Enjoy this chapter…Xoxo :)
I OWN NO ONE
*It was the day of taking down Savannah. Taylor sighed as she rolled over. Thinking of her mother and how she deserved to be here. Eve was doing great but Taylor felt horrible knowing Jack and her wanted were trying to have babies. Her mind kept thinking of all the things that could go wrong but she wanted to be strong. This was for her family, it was the right thing to do. She showered and got dressed, she saw Stefan sitting out back*
Taylor: Babe?...*Stefan looked at her, she sat on his lap and he rubbed her thighs*...You okay?
Stefan: Yeah…*She ran her fingers through his hair*
Taylor: Tell me.
Stefan: I'm just worried about you…*She kissed him*...And…I know about Eric…*Her face dropped and she stood up. He grabbed her wrist and she looked away with tears running down her face*
Taylor: I'm so sorry. I should have told you…You have been so good to me…*He stood up and caressed her face*...I didn't want to hurt you because I did fall in love with you and I do love you. I just…
Stefan: Taylor. He was your first love. When I first met you, I saw it. When he left you. I saw it break you. I knew when we weren't serious that you and him…Were…I figured you stopped or just not often. I don't know…But I knew I loved you and you were struggling and have been struggling. Yeah, it hurt but I love you Taylor….*She kissed him*
Taylor: I love you so much. You are too good for me…I didn't want to ruin you.
Stefan: I love you…*They kissed deeply*...Can I ask you something?...*Taylor nodded*...All this…Are you afraid you'll die? Are you okay with it?
Taylor: I…I'm not okay. I'm scared…*She cried*...So scared but it's for my mom….*Stefan caressed her face again*
Stefan: I am taking you to dinner…*She smiled….It was hours later and the plan was in motion. Matt had planted something in Silas's food to keep him down. Silas made Savannah take him home and then made her get him medicine*
Katherine: I have no idea why we are doing this? He is such a bitch…*Savannah smiled*
Savannah: It was a way for us to get away from him…*Katherine smiled back*...Do you hear something?...*Katherine looked around. Taylor looked at Eric and he nodded. Stefan kissed Taylor and she walked into the middle of the road*
Taylor: You took my everything from me. My sister died by the hands of your lover. Silas will feel what I feel.
Katherine: NO!…*Savannah slammed on the breaks as she saw Taylor in the middle of the road*...You should have hit her…*Savannah got out and Katherine followed*...Get back in the car…*Klaus grabbed Katherine*...RUN!
Taylor: You have caused pain in too many hearts. You both have tormented us enough. Silas wants to be on the other side so bad then he will get his wish and he will meet you there. My doppelganger, this ends tonight…*Taylor grabs her heart and Savannah gasped*
Savannah: Well played mini me…*Taylor pulled through muscle and nerves pulling her heart out*
Katherine: NO! You…You killed her!...*Klaus let her go. Katherine grabbed her body and ran off*
Elena: Taylor?...*Stefan looked at her and she was shaking*
Stefan: Hey. Hey…You did it. You did it…*He hugged her and she cried*...That is the feeling of relief. You did it.
Kelly: Sister?...*Taylor looked over*
Eve: You did this for me?...*Taylor nodded, Eve ran to her and hugged her*
Eric: My child…*She jumped in his arms*...I will not let anything happen to you. I was wrong though…You are strong and can protect yourself. After everything that has happened you have become…
Klaus: A warrior…*Taylor smiled and hugged her dad*...You got revenge for your mother. I am so proud of you for standing up and getting justice for her. It has changed you into something bigger. My little fighter…*He kissed her forehead*
Taylor: Thank you Bonnie…*Bonnie smiled and nodded*
Kelly: Now what?
Eric: Katherine will show Silas the body and he will come after Taylor.
Eve: Wait. Wait one second. You knew Silas would come after you and you did it anyway?
Taylor: For mom and you. He deserves to feel what we feel. He doesn't get to do this and get away with it.
Eve: Are you stupid! He will kill you.
Taylor: I'm not going anywhere sister.
Eric: Be on the lookout. I am staying with you until otherwise.
Taylor: No. Eric. I will be fine…*He sighed*
Eric: I am going home with you.
Stefan: Let him…*Taylor nodded and they walked off*
Klaus: They will keep her safe love. Don't worry…*Eve hugged Klaus. Stefan and Taylor drank champagne and made love. Taylor slept at peace tonight, peace that she hadn't felt in a while. The next morning, Stefan made her breakfast and they talked over breakfast…Knock Knock*
Stefan: Katherine…
Katherine: May I?...*He moved to the side and she walked in. Taylor sat on the couch and Stefan sat next to her*
Taylor: What is it that you want?
Katherine: Congrats. You must feel on top of the world for killing my best friend.
Taylor: Your only friend…*Katherine raised her eyebrow*...I did it so Silas would see it every night as I see my mother. You were there for collateral damage..
Katherine: You totally win at that…But did you think about Silas? You can't hide forever, ya know. Sooner or later Taylor…You'll have to fight the big bad wolf. Did anyone tell you that when he does come for you, there will be nothing but death waiting for you…*Taylor started to feel the pressure*...That he'll kill anyone and everyone just to get to you…Starting with your family. Maybe he will send them to you in pieces.
Stefan: Enough Katherine.
Katherine: Enough? Taylor…You killed the love of Silas. I wouldn't be surprised if he went after Eric or Stefan. See what you started is just another war.
Eric: Not if she is a warrior…*Taylor looked behind her*
Katherine: She isn't. She is nothing but a weak infant hiding behind people to protect her. Who don't really love her…You may have hurt me. Taylor but you have another thing coming with Silas. It's bigger, badder and madder than me.
Stefan: Stop!
Katherine: with Stefan and Eric by your side…Can't go wrong.
Eric: Shut up!
Katherine: Is it making sense? Is it clicking now?…*Stefan grabbed Taylor's hand*...Face it. You can't protect her. She walked into her own death bed.
Eric: If you don't stop. I will rip out your heart. That is enough.
Katherine: It isn't enough. Not until she accepts her fate and accepts death because it is knocking on her door.
Taylor: Okay. Katherine…I get it.
Katherine: You get what?...*She said with an attitude and anger*
Taylor: I shouldn't have killed your best friend…I should have killed you.
Katherine: Bitch. I'm off. I'll be back though and hopefully you'll be six feet below…*She ran off*
Stefan: You okay?
Taylor: I don't know. I guess I didn't think about this part.
Eric: Do not let her get inside of your head. It's the game they are trying to play. To throw you off.
Stefan: It'll be okay.
Taylor: Go back to sleep…*She hugged Eric*...Go to work. Go back home…*Eric glared at her*
Eric: I am not leaving you.
Taylor: Eric. I will be fine. It's okay…*He went back to bed and Taylor did work that night. Eric took her and had Stefan come get her. Eric was worried for her safety. Kelly and Eve were worried but knew Eric would keep her safe. Stefan held her close as they slept. It was the next night and Eric had given Taylor off. Told her to keep her doors locked and to stay with Stefan. Pam looked around as business was great. A good, normal busy night at fang. Crystal was busy at work and Pam looked over as Silas was walking in*
Pam: Shit…*She vamp sped over*...What?
Silas: Where is Eric?
Pam: You know I liked it better when you didn't look like Stefan's look alike.
Silas: Where is he?
Pam: Not here…*Silas dropped Pam to her knees*
Silas: You sure you want this the hard way? I'll take you over your sister…*Eric ran in*
Eric: Let her go!...*Eric looked around*
Silas: There is the man I was looking for…Don't worry they can't see us.
Eric: What is it now?
Silas: Eric…The all great, powerful, savage viking. Not even you can stop me from getting to her.
Eric: If you lay a finger on my child….*Silas grabbed Eric's throat with a spell*
Silas: You'll what? Maybe I should start with you. She would give herself over faster than she could say sorry….*He stopped the spell and Eric coughed*...I'm gonna make her sweat it out. Make her fear, make her worry and make her think I am after her family. Or hell, maybe even the man she loves…You.
Eric: You kill me and she will kill you.
Silas: Oh I would love to see her try…*Eric growled and Silas smiled*...I hope she has more than just Stefan on stand by. I can easily take him out and kill her. What makes you think if I can't drop you…*Silas waved his hand and Eric dropped to his knees*...To your knees. Why wouldn't I be able to do the same with Stefan? Stefan will watch her die and you walk in eternity full of misery because she will be gone. You will feel what I feel. You see what I see when I close my eyes. Taylor will be no more, she will not exist anymore. Not even get the chance to conceive with you. How does it feel to know she can have your babies and here she will be dead with not one little Northman running around?
Eric: Leave her alone.
Silas: She is a spitting image of her mother. I should have killed her…Oh wait. I did. Only this time no one is here to put me down. So I am going after your progeny and she will die. No babies and not you there to hold her as she passes through.
Pam: You will die.
Silas: I can't be stopped. Have a great night…*He walks out. People started to look at Pam and Eric as they stood up. Eric walked to the office to call Taylor*
Crystal: Pam?
Pam: Back to work…*Crystal nodded and looked at the office door*
Taylor: Eric? How is work?
Eric: We have a problem….*Taylor looked at Stefan*
Taylor: What's wrong?
Eric: He isn't gonna stop until he gets his hands on you and you only.
Taylor: He came to you! Are you hurt!?
Eric: I am fine but love, you need to leave.
Taylor: Wait. Eric. What are you saying?
Eric: Leave. Get out of Louisiana. I have an apartment in Paris and you can take the jet but you have to leave now.
Taylor: What about my sisters? My brother?
Eric: He doesn't want them, love. He is pissed and wants blood. Your blood and I can't have him put hands on you.
Taylor: Eric I am not leaving!
Eric: As your maker I-
Taylor: STOP!...*Eric sighed. Taylor looked at Stefan and he nodded*...I am not leaving. I am staying and fighting until my last dying breath. You taught me that….He may be a witch but he is also mortal. I just have to be faster and one step ahead of him. I killed Savannah and got it out of my system. Silas is thinking on rage and revenge, as long as I am in my right mind. I have the upper hand against him.
Eric: Stefan then you watch her. I will be over soon. I just have something to take care of and do not tell me no.
Taylor: Okay.
Eric: Be careful. I love you. Have Stefan drop you off at work and if not I will come pick you up and he can take you home.
Taylor: Eric?
Eric: Lyda (Obey)...*Taylor sighed*...I love you.
Taylor: I love you…*He hangs up and she sighs again*
Stefan: Nothing is going to happen to you…*She nodded and laid her head against his chest*...Movie night?
Taylor: Perfect.
Stefan: Scary?
Taylor: No…*He smiled*
Stefan: You are a vampire. How can you hate them?
Taylor: I get nightmares…*He chuckled and she smiled…It's been two weeks and Silas was quiet. Taylor didn't want to admit to anyone but it was getting to her. Every sound, movement, even her thoughts were getting to her. Eric saw her struggling the last two weeks and he knew why. He would talk to her or buy her blood to ease her mind. She finished wiping down the bar and walked to him in the office*...Hey.
Eric: Taking off?...*She nodded*...You sure you don't want me to drive you?
Taylor: I'll be okay.
Eric: Stefan couldn't come?
Taylor: He said he had a surprise for me?…*She smiled*
Eric: You two?
Taylor: We're good. Are we okay?
Eric: Of course love. As long as you are happy…*She smiled and he walked to her. She hugged him tightly as she got a bad feeling*...You sure? Taylor, just stay at my place. Just for tonight?
Taylor: I'll be okay…*He kissed her forehead and nodded*
Eric: You call me as soon as you get home…*He watched her walk away and wished he could have talked her into staying but with her mentioning the surprise. Stefan was proposing, even though Taylor and Eric calmed down their love on the side. He saw how happy Stefan made her and how happy she was with him. It hurt but he knew it was for her good. Taylor kept looking around as she drove, feeling something in the air. She sighed finally pulling in and walked in*
Taylor: Stefan?
Stefan: Back here…*She walked back…She smiled as she saw roses, candles and smelled the food cooking*
Taylor: What is all this?
Stefan: Part of the surprise…*He kissed her as she smiled. They ate and talked. He put on music so they could dance and that's when he reached in his back pocket. He got on one knee and Taylor gasped*
Taylor: What are you doing?...*He opened the box, she covered her mouth and cried*
Stefan: You make everyday on this earth matter. You light up my world, you are my light. You make me happy in ways I thought weren't possible. I want to spend eternity by your side…*She smiled*...Will you do me the honor and become my wife?
Taylor: Oh my gosh! Stefan!...Yes!...*He smiled, put the ring on her finger and they kissed*...It's beautiful! I love you.
Stefan: I love you baby…*They kiss deeply and he puts her on the counter. The kissing got intense and Taylor pulled his shirt over his head…Knock knock*
Taylor: Seriously!...*He smiled and walked to the door*
Stefan: Silas…*Taylor's heart dropped*
Silas: Where is she?...*Taylor heard the door close then heard them fighting. She ran out and sees Stefan on the ground*
Stefan: Go inside!
Taylor: I am not leaving you…*She goes to help him up*
Stefan: Behind you!...*Taylor turns around and pops her fangs*
Taylor: Let him go!
Silas: Fight me…*Taylor ran for him and he dropped her to her knees. He grabbed Stefan's heart saying a spell*
Taylor: NO!...*She saw the stake in his hand. She felt the spell lift and ran for Stefan, as Taylor ran for Stefan…Silas had thrown the stake at Stefan with a spell. Taylor pushed Stefan out of the way, went to grab the stake but with the power of the spell, it went through her hand and hit her heart*
Stefan: NO!...*Silas vanished. Eric felt her go and he stopped in his tracks*
Pam: Eric?...*Stefan cried holding her body as she was now covered in veins*
Stefan: No. Taylor. You can't be dead…*Eric ran up and fell to his knees*
Eric: Jag är ledsen (I'm so sorry)...*Eric cried deeply, not only losing his lover but his child. He held her body, now completely cold. She was gone and nothing left in her. He wouldn't ever hear her voice again, feel her touch, her lips. Pam ran up and gasped*
Pam: No…
Eric: She…She's gone.
Stefan: I asked her to marry me and she said yes….*Eric lost the one who kept him going, kept him at peace, kept him whole. He wanted nothing to do with Stefan or anyone else. He knew where his mind set was going to be. To feed and fuck until it didn't hurt anymore but how do you heal from losing the one who you loved the most, the love of your life, a child. Eric couldn't stand the pain*
Pam: Eric. It'll be dawn soon.
Eric: I'm not leaving her!…She…She's gone…*He cried harder*...Mitt barn (My child)...*Pam sighed*
Pam: Let's take her downstairs and sleep with her in the casket. Come on Eric…*Eric stood up and Stefan grabbed Taylor*
Eric: Taylor. Wake up. This is not funny…*Pam looked away wiping her tears and Stefan cried looking at Taylor in the coffin*...I can't. I have to. I can't sleep with her…She's…*Pam hugged him and cried as well*
Stefan: There is an extra coffin. She got another in case she…She ever needed it…*Pam opened the coffin for Eric to get in. Eric kissed Taylor's cheek and got in the other coffin. Pam kissed Taylor's cheek*
Pam: I am so sorry sister…*Pam headed to the other coffin. Stefan looked at Taylor for a little longer and went to bed. Eric dreamed of Taylor and it was good. He saw her smile, heard her voice. It warmed his heart but he didn't want to get up and face the music that she was gone and with her mother. He lost his love and he would never be able to give her children, give her a ring or his last name. Eric had blood tears stream down his face in his sleep*
