Chapter 6

For Everyone reading this story thank you so much! I am a Vampire Diaries Fanatic, team Stelena all the way! And to see them breakup this past week was devastating to me so I am more than thrilled to write a Stelena Fanfic. I appreciate all the positive comments, they have been inspiring and I check them often. Sorry it takes so long for the updates but some nights I'm dead tired. But keep reading I promise it will only get better.

Traveling on the road Damon and Alaric had been travelling for two days and boy were they both getting a little paranoid with each other. Alaric had checked in with Elena to find out the good news about her baby boy. Damon didn't seem too thrilled, he just smirked and said "daddy Stefan will be thrilled."

In Alabama, Klaus was so upset with the werewolf Hank he decided to stick around until a full moon and wait for him to divulge his pack then. So every night he and Stefan would wait at the bar for Hank. When Hank would show up he would raise his glass and laugh but ignore the two. This particular day was the night of the full moon and Klaus already knew that Hank would not show up at the bar so he and Stefan went to his home. Waiting outside his home early in the day, Klaus turned to Stefan and says:

Klaus: So tonight is the full moon.

Stefan: what makes you think Hank hasn't already taken off.

Klaus: Oh I'm sure he has, but these two lovely girls here, probably can tell us where.

Just the a blonde headed girl came out wearing very short shorts, a tank top and cowboy boots. Immediately Klaus called out to her saying "Rachel, hey there love!" She ran to him hugging him saying "I missed you Nicholas." Holding on to her he looked at Stefan saying "Stefan meet Rachel, Rachel this is my good friend Stefan." She looked at him and quickly said "hi, oh you have to meet my friend Camille, she's gonna love you." She pulled them both toward the house saying "please come in." As they walked toward the house and up to the door , both placing a foot inside the house. Inside the house they met the other friend Camille who looked Hispanic with long brown hair. She was standing in the front room wearing jeans a tank top and no shoes. Stefan looking around the room could feel something was odd. Ever since he had been back on human blood his senses were all so much stronger. As he took two more steps he felt a lingering shadow and fixated his ear to hear its breathing. The girls tried to distract him by saying "ooh Rachel he is cute." As she began to move toward him Stefan with his vampire speed turned and attacked at Hank who was hiding behind in a secret closet. Stefan rammed him to the wall with his veins appearing out his eyes. Klaus grabbed one of the girls and pulled her close with his hand over his head. While the other girl stood with a hand gun pointed a Stefan.

Klaus: no, no ,no, no Rachel love.

Stefan: looks like Hank here had plans of his own.

Klaus: Now Rachel judging by that the events here, I'm guessing there are wooden bullets in that gun but if you want Camille here not to have her neck snapped then I suggest you put the gun down and be a little more nicer to my friend.

Rachel: (pointing at Stefan) let him go.

Hank: shoot him Rach, their gonna kill us regardless. Shoot him their vampires. They don't care.

Rachel: Let my brother go! NOW! (she kept staring at him focused)

All of sudden the gun went off and Stefan was shot in the back, he dropped and Hank was able to run. Klaus broke Camille's neck and rushed at Rachel pulling the gun. Stefan stronger than before popped up much quicker angry, Klaus threw the girl at him and told him "here rejuvenate while I go track down Hank." Just like hat Klaus was gone. Stefan with his feeding face on moved toward her and wasted no time pulling her close and sinking his teeth into her sucking her dry until he blacked out. He regained consciousness to find the girls head ripped off, Stefan looked around wondering what he just did. He picked up the head and pulled the body close putting it back together. As he was fixing the girl back together Klaus came back in nearly choking Hank. Hank was gasping for air and Klaus threw him to the floor saying "dear, dear, Hank you see where your blatant disrespect got you." Hank looked at his sister saying "why, not Rachel she was my only sister." Feeling his hurt and pain Stefan began to digress into his stupor, wallowing in his sympathy for human life. Klaus had to snap him out of it saying "Stefan relax, the bloody girl would have killed you first. its jus survival of he fittest." He grabbed Hank by the neck again and said "now, now come on mates we have some werewolf finding to do." Stefan still on his knees looking at the body he thought in his mind, what would Elena think of this killer Stefan, this RIPPER. He stood to his feet stepping over the body and walked out the house.

Arriving at the only bar in the town, Damon and Alaric went inside to try to find some answers. It was still daytime and the bar was barely opened, walking in Damon surveyed the room. He walked over to the bar and said "two no four shots whiskey." Alaric sat next to him saying "let's be smart here." Damon looked at Alaric and said "trust me no one in this back water town is on vervain, this is gonna be a piece of cake." As the bartender brought the drinks Damon looked him directly in the eyes compelling him and said:

Damon: I'm looking for two men, a younger guy and a douche bag looking asshole have you seen them

Bartender: (in a trance) They came here everyday for a week from open to close.

Damon: what were they looking for

Bartender: They were looking for a local Hank.

Damon: Where does Hank live?

Bartender: Off old Fallon road with his sister and her best friend in their parent's old house.

Damon: Thank you. (he gulped down his last drink)

Alaric being his good natured self paid the bartender who stood blinking not knowing what just happened.

Hank had taken Klaus a little further out into the back wood of Alabama. Stefan carried him out to the woods and they saw about nine people unpacking their things. Excited Klaus immediately announced his arrival saying "hello all, don't be alarm I am your savior." The people saw Hank and all went running toward him upon smelling Stefan they all backed away. Klaus took Hank and picked him up by the throat saying "oooh you will all be my slaves", as bit into his neck and started to drain him dry. He then took is wrist and turned him giving him blood. Just as he was about to let him go, Klaus took and broke his neck saying "welcome brother." Stefan stood watch wondering what he was being witnessed to.

Alaric and Damon finally arrived at Hank's home, Damon got out the car and breathed in the fresh air saying "god I hate the county." They walked up to the door and Alaric rang the bell, Damon looked at Alaric saying "do you honestly think that anyone in this home is alive." Damon immediately opened the door and walked right in. He looked at Alaric with his I told you so face. Walking through out the house Damon stumbled upon the dead girls. The one with the broken neck Damon looked at and said "that's Klaus's handy work." He walked over to the other girl with the head that had been pieced back together and said "now this, this is Stefan's style" and he kicked the head, and it rolled away." Alaric shocked and almost beginning to throw up asks "how in he hell, where's the blood. The bodies looks so fresh." Damon gets up and drags the bodies on top of each other as he walks in the kitchen and turns on the gas stove. He pulled Alaric out the door saying "we gotta go!" They walk outside and Damon pulls out some cigars he found in the house and he passes one to Alaric saying "smoke up, we gotta cover the tracks, and this is the safest way." Alaric still unsure how the bodies ended up that way did as he was told. They began to smoke them and as soon as were good and lit Damon snatched them from him and took both and tossed them inside the kitchen window which immediately had the house going up in flames. They then got in the car and drove, while riding in the car Damon told Alaric,

Damon: Stefan is known as a RIPPER, which is some of the reason he doesn't drink human blood.

Alaric: A RIPPER?

Damon: He gets so taken over by the blood, that when he drinks from the vein he drains the body so much he blacks out and rips the body apart.

Alaric: Not Stefan!

Damon: Did you see that body back there well, that was Stefan, and it's alright coming toward the surface, The RIPPER.

Alaric: We gotta help him before he does it again.

Damon: If he's flipped the switch there's nothing you or I can do to stop it!

In the woods all of the werewolves had been killed by Stefan, and fed Klaus's vampire blood to be turned into his hybrids. Stefan stood back looking surprised. He was a bit nervous to what this meant and how it would go but as long as he did as he was told and kept Klaus away from Mystic Falls he knew that she was safe. As Hank the first hybrid awoke he looked around in fear saying "what happened to me?" Stefan stood over him with his arms crossed saying "your going through the change, so if I were you I would definitely be looking for someone to feed on. " Klaus sat around smiling drinking a beer as he watched his hybrids awaken. He nodded to Stefan as he finished off his beer and said, "my hybrids will be hungry when, how about you go and fetch them up someone to feed on." Stefan looking around bewildered and replies "where in the middle of nowhere?" Klaus turns his head to the side and with sarcasm "well you better use that vampire speed." Stefan blinked and began to walk out into the woods.

Damon and Alaric were driving down the road, Damon noticed a trail that shot off into the deep woods. He remembered there being a campsite off the road that he saw on the map. He turned down the road telling Alaric "I think this is where Hank's wolf pack hangs out." He drove until the road turned nothing, finally Damon stopped the car and realized they had to walk. Getting out of the car Alaric strapped on his pack full of vervein and wolf bane with wooden stakes. They started to walk talking along the way

Damon: Leave it to werewolves to go way out in the woods for this.

Alaric: I can see how werewolves are better than vampires.

Damon: what?

Alaric: Their human, their blood runs through them and they can walk in the sun and lead a normal life.

Damon: No way! Being a vampire is better, anything I want in life it's mine! (thinking about Elena) Well almost anything! Little thing called compulsion it does the trick.

Alaric: but drinking blood is not something that makes you feel disgusted.

Damon: And breaking every bone in my body every month hunting down anything in my path wouldn't be. Ah yea I chose painless, eternal life.

Alaric: Yea never getting any older, ever to settle down create a family.

Damon: Well that's just not true is it. (giving Ric an eye)

Alaric: Oh yea! (looking up he saw someone standing on a cliff looking at them and spoke) STEFAN!

Damon: (still walking) BINGO! But we're sure gonna find out why brother dear was able to do the impossible.

Alaric: No Damon (pointing upward) Stefan!

Damon looked up to see his brother staring down at them and immediately use his vampire strength to jump to the top of the cliff where he was. Stefan standing to the top of the cliff turned around to his brother once he landed behind him.

Damon: Well, well, well! Look who's still alive.

Stefan: What are you doing here Damon?

Damon: Come on brother, you don' t write, you don't call, or text, email.

Stefan: Damon! Enough with all the caring, what do you want?

Damon: Isn't it obvious! To bring you home. So let's go! (grabbing Stefan's arm)

Stefan: (shrugs him off) No! I can't go back, you know that!

Damon: (puts both hands on his shoulders) Yes! You can. We can find a way to keep her safe! Bit trust me Stefan you want, you need to come home for her sake!

Stefan: It has never been more vital for me to stay away now! Don't you get it Damon (looking into his eyes) He is out right now trying to make his hybrids, and as long as he thinks she died then the safer she is. Whatever I have to do to keep him away from her I will.

Damon: And what happens when he finds out she's alive huh? What's gonna happen then? Ahhh I know he's gonna kill you and then come for her. So! His best way to protect her is come back and protect her.

Stefan: I'm not going Damon! So if you wanna stay out here in the woods and fight me to come home do so. But when Klaus finds you here, he's gonna kill you and Alaric So I suggest you leave.

Just as Stefan spoke his name, Klaus appeared he was holding Alaric by the throat saying "my, my, my Stefan I sent you for food and you brought back such poor choices, but he will have to do." Stefan was thinking fast on his feet and so he picked up the stake and staked his brother in the stomach until he fell o the ground, and diappeared to where Klaus was. They took Alaric back to their campsite to where Klaus allowed all nine of his hybrids to feed off him, they didn't drain him but they just got a taste. Alaric was unconscious and Stefan stood watch as the hybrid became like Rabid dogs, their eyes watering with blood and pale setting face and seemed uncontrollable. Klaus began to wonder why his hybrids seem to be dying, he was getting a bit upset. He looked at Alaric and said "his blood must be tainted with vervain maybe, kill them all, their gonna die soon anyways." Stefan helped Klaus kill off the hybrids by taking an axe and chopping off each of their heads. Once they were all killed off, Klaus ordered Stefan to get rid of Alaric's poisonous body. Stefan lifted Alaric's still unconscious body and carried him off to he woods by the stream. Stefan bypassed the stream of noisy water and dug dropped Alaric to ground digging in his pocket taking out his phone and texting Damon: Come to stream to pick up Alaric. As Damon was reading the text he immediately took off toward the stream, Stefan was waiting there with Alaric when Damon finally showed up.

Stefan: Take him and go home. Now!

Damon: What did you do to him?

Stefan: He's fine! Klaus thinks his blood is poison to his hybrid. Now more than ever is it important for me to stay close to Klaus. Because, his hybrids aren't turning and maybe it is the vervain in blood but honestly it's probably because Elena is still alive. So at anytime he finds that out, she will be gone.

Damon: His Hybrids died!

Stefan: Yeah! And if he finds out that Elena's the reason then he's gonna come for her. I promised her I would protect her. And all I can do is keep her alive and me not being there is bad enough. So please go home and protect her. Keep her safe and let her know I'm doing the same here.

As Alaric started to awaken Stefan was gone and Damon was left there and is his mind the whole time he wondered why he never told Stefan of his future son, why he kept that information to himself.
