Part 4- Why couldn't you just let me die?
Stefan opened his eyes slowly wondering where he was. Then all of a sudden it hit him. He was dead. He has opened his arms to the light without his daylight ring and he had burst into flames. It was over. The torment of his life without Elena was gone.
"Good morning sleepyhead" a familiar voice said from the corner of the room "I was wondering when you were going to wake up."
"Elena" Stefan breathed taking the sight of her in. It had worked, he had died and now they could be together. "I'm so sorry I let you die" he said tears running down his face.
As she began to walk towards the bed Stefan raised himself up anticipating their reunion. Looking into her eyes he immediately realised his mistake. "Katherine" he growled. "What the hell are you doing?"
"I saved your life dummy" Katherine told him a twinkle in her eye. "Don't thank me or anything!"
"Thank you? I should wring you neck" Stefan growled his hand closing around her throat. "Why couldn't you just let me die?"
"And what purpose would your death have served?" Katherine asked him rubbing her neck as he released her.
"I would have been with Elena." He told her.
"Oh yeah I heard about that...sorry." She told him actually sounding sincere for a change. "But you know if you had died you still wouldn't be with her Stefan. She would be in heaven and you would be in purgatory, there is no heaven for people like us."
"At least I would have tried." Stefan told her miserably.
"Oh stop being such a martyr," Katherine told him rolling her eyes. "You've known the girl for 3 years. In the grand scheme of things that's like 10 minutes to people like us. You'll soon forget." She told him hoping that he wouldn't remain so miserable forever. If he did it would totally ruin her plans for him.
