Elena watched Stefan sitting at the kitchen table, from the living room. Damon had called a minute ago and was obviously upset, but Elena didn't think about that. In fact if you asked her what she had been thinking she wouldn't be able to say. Any thing close to a semi-coherent thought that was going through her mind was love. Stefan looked incredibly hot at the moment, with his sex hair and his brow furrowed, but she could care less. Every time his shoulders would rise to fall with his breath, she knew her heart pumped more than blood. So much more ran through her veins. He was the current in an eternal river of passion; he was the conductor of every electric spark; he was the fuel to every fire of a warm, smiling love. He was her reason. And she could never again think of life without thinking of love, and she could never again think of love without thinking of him.

"Okay, bye" he said as he hung up his phone and stood up from the table.

"What did he have to say?" Elena said, snapping back to reality.

"Well," he started, and sat down with a very serious expression on his face. "Bonnie killed Kol." He said, awaiting Elena's reaction.

"What did Rebekah do?" she asked raising an eyebrow.

"Well, I think it's safe to say she was pissed."

"Is Bonnie okay?" Elena asked, worried, knowing Rebekah's temper.

"She's fine." Elena sighed in relief. "Rebekah did call off the ritual because obviously the blood-link had failed."

"So Bonnie risked killing all of you?" she asked, her chest heaving.

"No, Bonnie knew that the kol wasn't our sire. Or at least that's what she said."

"How-"

"The spirits told her, i guess" Elena gave a silent "O" while he put his hand on her thigh and continued. "Well, the point is Rebekah, understandably, is not for the idea of losing another brother, even if it is Klaus. So she had to tell Klaus, and as you can imagine he is out to get us, once again."

"What does he want?"

"We don't know." Stefan said, pressing his lips into a fine line and running his hand on her leg. "How do you feel?" he asked.

"Well, I'm scared but glad I'm not dying just yet. But whose to say Klaus isn't seeing to that right now?" She looked up and into his eyes again, enamored by their stunning sage tone. There was a lapse in both of their thoughts as they searched the others eyes for answers, while attempting to comfort them as well. She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned in. He closed his eyes and held her. She buried her face in the crook of his neck and planted a small, wet kiss on his shoulder. "Stefan." She whispered as she pulled back and brought her hands to his face "I love you so much. I would do anything for you." She crushed her lips on his, before he could reciprocate his sentiments. His lips moved harshly upon hers, as she gave his tongue leeway to enter her mouth. They separate when she runs out of breathe and pulls back. Her heavy sighs, and sweet breathe tickling his lips, she whispers, "He'll never touch you again." As she looks from his lips to his eyes.

"I love you so much 'Lena." He places a wet, yet chaste kiss on her lips. "More than you'll ever know."

"Trust me," she smiles, "I've got a pretty good idea."

They lay on the couch, bare bodies covered in only a throw blanket. Enthralled with her beautiful sleeping face, he tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, gently waking her. Instantly greeted by his green Crayola eyes, she smiles lightly and yawns.

"I wore you out." Stefan smirked. She gave him a mock angry expression, and pulled the blanket up with her and wrapped it around herself. Stefan watched her and smiled a rather naughty smile, until she froze.

"Stefan." She says softly and picks up his jeans from the floor handing them to him, her eyes never leaving the door. He puts them on without question. And stands next to her automatically wrapping an arm around her when greeted by the blue eyes of his nemesis.

"Hate to disrupt this special moment." Klaus smirks. "But have a busy schedule, you know." He snapped his fingers and two hybrids carried an unconscious Bonnie through the door.

"Bonnie!" Elena yelled, running towards her friend, but was held back by a reluctant Stefan.

"What do you what with her, Klaus?" Stefan snarled.

"Well, more like what do I want from you." Klaus said.

"Alright then what do you want from us then?" Elena yelled

"Stefan." He said, simply enough.

"You're not touching him!" Elena threatened, wrapping an arm around Stefan.

"Alright… a proposition, then." Stefan and Elena looked at each other, wary.

"What kind of a proposition?"
