New Chapter has a little Klaroline/Stexiline(Stefan/Lexi/Caroline)Totally made that up.


Blood-Lust Vs Epic Love

Klaus had done this, He'd caused Stefan to lose control again. Caroline became angry her best friend had slipped back into his Ripper ways. Caroline had been there to pick Stefan up every time he lost control, over the years Damon and Caroline teamed up to help him get over his blood addiction, it was the main reason Stefan preferred to hunt animals rather than Humans. She watched Stefan carefully as he feed on the young women in his arms, Her face was fixed on Caroline's as the light faded in her eyes "Stefan, This isn't you. Let her go" Stefan looked towards Caroline and threw the girl to the side. "You shouldn't have came Caroline" Stefan said through gritted teeth, His face covered in blood, Her own Veins appeared under her eyes as she smelt the mixtures of blood from the bodies around them. "Stefan please come with me, We can fix this. You've done it before we can do it again." Stefan laughed humorlessly "I don't want to come home Caroline, Klaus is right. I should embrace the ripper in me" Caroline gasped "This isn't you Stefan" Stefan went to attack her until Damon was stood in front of her about to take the force of Stefan's blow "I don't think so little Brother" Damon said as he shoved a wooden stake through Stefan's Stomach. Stefan fell to the floor trying to pull the stake back through "Argh, I'm going to kill you Damon" he screamed through the pain. Klaus rounded the corner noticing Damon and Caroline standing in front of Stefan "Ah if it isn't the other Salvatore Brother and Stefan's blood lust Councillor He smiled mockingly. Caroline clenched her jaw as she went for Klaus but Damon caught her around the waist, "I'm going to take his head of his shoulders" she yelled trying to get out of his grip "Leave it Barbie, Stefan doesn't want our help" Caroline stopped thrashing in Damon's arms and turned to look at him "What? Your not honestly leaving him here. With him?" She spat pointing towards Klaus. Stefan looked up at Damon pleading with him to go. "Look leave him here if he wants to be Klaus's bitch then let him. We can't save him if he doesn't want to be saved" Caroline looked at Stefan as she finally got out of Damon's grip and bent down to face him, She gave him a one armed hug as she rested her head on his shoulder with her lips towards his ear "I will find you and I will bring you home to Elena, Just please fight this don't let him take complete control. You are better than this" She stood up and walked back towards Damon, turning to Klaus "If any harm comes to him what so ever, I will hunt you down and find a way to kill you" Klaus sniggered "Come on Love, Just helping him embrace his existence" Caroline looked away as she sped out of the building, Damon looked towards his brother again "Goodbye little Brother" He said sadly before speeding off to join Caroline.

Three Months later

Stefan returned to Mystic Falls with Klaus and caused havoc for Elena, He would follow her around school and frustrate her, Caroline had noticed it the minute he'd stepped back into the school building Klaus had taken his Humanity made him turn it off. Caroline and Damon tried thinking of all the ways to help him, They called Bonnie but she had no idea how to help him, not even a spell could fix what Klaus had done. Caroline became so hell bent on finding a way to switch his humanity back on.

She walked into the Mystic Grill and spotted Stefan playing Pool with an unfamiliar women with blond hair laughing, then her eyes landed on Klaus sat at the bar, She walked towards him and took the seat beside him "You going to buy me a drink?" She asked getting his attention, "A little young to be drinking aren't you?" He smirked "You going to buy me one or do I have to find somebody else to buy me one" Klaus smiled looking her over, He noticed she was beautiful with sparkling blue eyes and a perfect body "What can I get you?" Caroline looked up smirking "Most expensive bottle of Champagne" Klaus called the bar tender over and asked for exactly what Caroline wanted leaving her stunned "So what do I owe the pleasure of your company tonight, Caroline" Caroline took a quick glimpse at Stefan and took a deep breath "I want you to free Stefan, Give him his humanity back" Klaus shook his head "Now why would I do that?" Caroline sat down facing him "I'll go with you. Where ever you need to go. Just please let him go" Klaus poured two glasses of Champagne and handed one to Caroline "What would you have to offer me that Stefan can't" Caroline gulped quickly drinking her whole glass "Me. You would get to have me completely you just have to let him go" "Tempting offer Love. I'll think about it" He whispered as he set some money on the bar and walked away. Damon took the seat beside her "Are you stupid? He will kill you" She looked at Damon smiling softly "I have to try Damon. With Lexi gone I'm struggling to get him back. We always teamed up she was his voice of reason and I was the" "Torturer." She nodded sadly "We'll get him back" Caroline stood up to leave "I hope your right" She whispered as she walked away.

The following day Caroline woke to a knock on her door, she climbed out of bed and walked towards the door spotting Lexi. Caroline stood still for a second in shock before opening the door "You're." Lexi chuckled "Dead? Technically so are you" suddenly a huge smile spread across Caroline's face "I missed you" Lexi pulled her into a hug "Me too Kid. I've been watching Stefan. What happened?" Caroline sighed "He's been compelled to turn his humanity off, I don't know how to fix it" "Get dressed, I am going to find him. Meet me in the old Lockwood Cellar" Caroline nodded before Lexi disappeared.

Caroline had called Damon on her way telling him she'd found a way and that she'd call if she needed his help. She made her way down the steps of the cellar opening her mouth to call Lexi but heard Stefan's screams, she ran into the room to find him strapped to a chair screaming at Lexi "I will Rip you apart, Lexi" Lexi stood in front of Stefan smirking "I'm already Dead" Caroline walked towards Lexi "What do I do?" Lexi shock her head and handed Caroline a stake "This is your gig, I can't stay for long, I can only help so much. Caroline you need to force him to remember what it's like to be human. Remind him of all the good times" Caroline nodded before looking at Stefan Impaling him with the stake below his heart and ripping it out again. "I'm going to save you Stefan. I promised Elena, You remember her don't you?" She asked He growled loudly as he thrashed against his restraints "Come on Stefan. Show me you don't love her. I bet your thirsty aren't you. The taste of her warm blood slipping down your throat" "Stop it" he screamed at her. She reached up gripping his face "Come back to us Stefan" She said softly looking into his eyes. Stefan suddenly calmed down, looking at his surroundings "Where.? Where am I?" Caroline looked at Lexi "Don't Caroline he's trying to trick you. Ignore him" She turned back to Stefan pleading "She misses you Stefan, We all do" Stefan looked at both his torturers' Caroline felt sympathy for him, Klaus had really done a number on him. "Fight it. Remember what it felt like the first time you saved a life, the first time you met Elena Or the first time she told you she loved you" Stefan weakened "I felt alive, I relished in the idea there was more to being a vampire, We could love, feel and cry. I felt remorseful for killing all those innocent victims. What have I done" Caroline looked towards Lexi, who came forward to look at Stefan "Remember Stefan you are stronger than you give yourself credit for. Ignore the blood-lust and remember the real you" Stefan nodded through his tears, Caroline unbuckled Stefan "You best be my best friend again" Stefan laughed at Her wrapping his arms around her and Lexi "Thank you, Both of you" Lexi looked at them both as she stepped away from them "Caroline, Look after him, Remind him that he has you even on his weakest days and Stefan look after yourself and please resist it you are better than that" Stefan and Caroline watched as Lexi disappeared.

Caroline and Stefan walked into the boarding house to Elena asleep on the couch and Damon sat across from her drinking a glass of scotch, Caroline cleared her throat "Look I brought home" causing Damon to turn around "How did you manage it?" Caroline and Stefan shared a glance "Lexi" Damon chuckled as he stood up and embraced his brother in a hug. "Good to see you little brother" Elena woke at voices around her, She shot up when she saw Stefan, "Hello Elena" he smiled sheepishly. "What's going on?" Damon calmed her down "Caroline helped Stefan, His Humanity is back, she and Ghost Lexi did it" Elena walked towards Stefan touching his face smiling softly as the tears slipped down her cheeks "It's really you" he nodded reaching for her hand.

Caroline began to leave but Damon caught her arm "What are you going to tell Klaus?" she looked at Stefan "I'm going to do what I have to" Damon wrapped his arms around her hugging her "Thank you for saving my brother" Caroline smiled "Anytime, Just take care of him Damon" she said as the separated. Caroline walked out of the door startling Stefan and Elena "Where's Care gone?" Elena asked. Damon looked at her not wanting to give her more heart break "I need to speak to Stefan alone" Damon walked through the hall with Stefan on his tail "What's wrong Damon" Damon looked at his brother carefully "There was only one way she could free you from Klaus, Even though Lexi helped weaken you she wouldn't have broken through to you humanity straight away and you know that" Stefan looked frustrated "What did she do?" Damon sighed "She offered herself to him in exchange for your freedom and humanity, So he had Bonnie find a spell so that he could make Caroline compel you to switch it all back on" Stefan punched the wall beside him. "What's going on?" Elena asked from behind them but Damon shock his head "Nothing Elena, Don't worry" Stefan turned back and walked out the door leaving Damon in the hall facing a worried Elena.

Stefan arrived at Klaus's house walking through the building until he found Klaus and Caroline talking "What did you do?" He said looking at Caroline but she smiled softly "I returned you to your Epic love" Stefan looked towards Klaus "Free her, She doesn't deserve this. She's good" Klaus laughed "I'm not making her do anything Stefan, She's here on her own free will" Stefan's head turned to Caroline confused "Is this true?" Caroline reached her hand out to touch Klaus's arm "I'm in love with him Stefan, He's been waiting thirty years for me to give into him" Stefan stood shocked "No your being compelled Caroline" "No Stefan, Klaus and I met in 1972 and fell in love but I couldn't tell anybody, we both know Damon would have shoved a stake in my heart" Stefan felt tears well up in his eyes "You're my best friend" She smiled letting go of Klaus and walking towards Stefan wrapping her arms around him "You're my best friend too but this is where my heart belongs" Caroline let go of him "Go and be with your Epic love Stefan" Stefan nodded and ran through the house. Klaus walked up behind Caroline kissing her neck gently as she watched Stefan go "You'll fix your relationship with him soon" Caroline nodded against him feeling his hands graze her stomach "What shall we do now" he whispered seductively in her hear causing her to moan. "I think you should" she paused quickly before turning around to wrap her arms around his neck and looking into his eyes "Paint my nails" she giggled jumping up at him wrapping her legs around his waist. Klaus kissed her softly "Only for you, Love. Only for you" This was her epic love.


R&R

A/N: So i wanted to do a Stefan & Caroline centered one shot and i felt Ghost Lexi making an appearance would give them both guidance. Caroline is around the Same age as Lexi seeing as she had also helped Stefan stay on the straight and narrow. I felt that the only way to give Stefan his humanity back in a short space of time would be for her to compel him and obviously using Bonnie and Klaus that happened. I felt the only way to have a little Klaroline added in there would be for her to have already met Klaus years before and i like that because it gave the ending a better meaning and an understand to why Stefan turned his humanity on so quickly.

Thank you all for reading i hope you like :)
