Star P.O.V
During my journey to my way to Mystic Falls I felt a string of emotions run through me, some may say leave sleeping dogs lie, that returning into the Salvatore's life wasn't necessary. What they didn't know would not hurt them, but it would only weigh heavy on my heart when I completed my soul purpose in life. They may hate me and attempt to kill me for the lies and deceit, or maybe I'll be welcomed with open arms. I began to recall the words that Alana used to speak to me when I was a child 'If your emotions are a house, your foundation is love. You were born with perfect love in your soul and it will keep you strong. I promise you, little Star, if you feel your house is out of order in any way, fix the foundations and the rest will correct itself.' So deep down I knew there could be a way for me to right all of my wrongs with them. It may take days, weeks, even months, but it was something I had to do for my own peace of mind.
I finally I had arrived in Mystic Falls, I have to say the town had change a lot since 1864, firstly the Salvatore Manor where I used to reside in didn't stand beautifully it was just a pile of ruins. I was told that they both still lived here maybe they resided somewhere else, if I head into town I'm certain that someone will be able to help me. The cab driver drove me into the town which looked the same but very different at the same time, it actually looked really beautiful. I was dropped off in the middle of the town square, I paid him and he drove off. I began to look around as I didn't even know where to start looking for them, I saw across the road a restaurant called Mystic Grill. That seemed like the perfect place to find out if the brothers would still be here, I'm certain that someone would know of them. I made my way into the restaurant, I looked around to see that it was empty, apart from a young man who was working behind the bar, I walked over to the bar and the bartender came over.
"How may I help you today?" He spoke flirtatiously, which was a real eye roller. What is with men when they see a woman walking into a bar alone they think they have the right to hit on them. That the saddest thing that men have not change in the last ten centuries, you would have thought in the modern world it would have changed. .
"A bourbon please." I watched as smile grew on his face, and he did this strange thing with his eye brows, was up with this guy? Did he actually think he had some sort of chance with me?
"Coming right up hot stuff." I rolled my eyes and turned away from the bar, I couldn't and wouldn't tolerate that kind of behaviour. This place was dead how was even I meant to find Stefan and Damon? Maybe I was stupid to think that anyone would know of them, as there are both vampires I doubt if anyone knew them. "Here you go." I turned around and the bartender places my drink on the bar.
"I was wondering, would you know where I could find Damon and Stefan Salvatore?" This guy was barely out of his teens I doubt he knew them, but there wasn't any harm asking he might prove me wrong.
"Excuse me, I heard that you're looking for Damon and Stefan Salvatore?" I heard someone say from behind me. I turned around to see two older women standing behind me, one was dress in police uniform with short blond hair while the other was dress quite formal with dark hair.
"Actual yes I am. Do you know where I could find them?" They both looked at me a little sceptically. "I'm sorry, how rude of me—" I extended my hand towards the both of them. "—Star Mikaelson." Even after all of these years I still called myself a Mikaelson, it was my name by law and there was something about the Mikaelson name that had certain people in power respect me a lot more. The both of them looked at me with widen eyes, until the lady with dark hair stepped forward and placing her hand into mine and shaking it.
"Mayor Carol Lockwood, did I hear you correctly that you are a Mikaelson?" This town was still run by the Lockwood's, some things never changes, at least she was trying to be hospitable.
"Yes you heard correctly." The both of them were acting rather strange after I confirmed that, what did it matter that my surname was Mikaelson. All I wanted to know was where Stefan and Damon were so I can begin to make some form of amends with them.
"Are you another one of them?" The sheriff asked as she asked she began to approach me. What did she mean by I was one of them? I had no idea what she is speaking of.
"I'm sorry I'm not quite sure what you are implying, but I'm here just looking for my friends Stefan and Damon Salvatore." The both of them still had that look that they didn't trust me, I wasn't going to continue wasting my time with them when I could be in search of the brothers. It was obvious that they both still lived here that was clearly written over this tow faces.
"Damon a very good friend of ours, and if you're here to seek any form of revenge for your family. I would suggest it best for you to leave, before things around here get real messy." What was she talking about? Seeking revenge? Why on earth would I seek revenge on Damon, he was like a brother to me, and talking about my family… I had no family.
"I'm sorry I have no idea of what you're talking about." I step away from them both of them and began to make my way out of the restaurant. So Damon and Stefan interacted with the towns people, it shouldn't be too hard to find the both of them just need to ask someone who wasn't as rude.
"You're a Mikaelson. Of course you're going to seek revenge after what they did to your brother Klaus." I stopped in my tracks at the mention of that name, I hadn't heard that name for 147 years since they passed that bitch Katherine lips. The man who stole my heart 500 years ago, they thought I was another sibling? What did the brothers do to him for this attack of revenge?
"I assure you that Niklaus is not my brother—" The both of them stood there with a confused expression there was no way I was going to explain my history to two women who have accused me of coming here to pledge some war against Salvatore brothers. "I am here for to see my old friends the Salvatore's, now if you're not going to tell me where they are I will ask someone who might be helpful." I began to walk away from them, who were they to threaten me. So Niklaus has been in this town tormenting the Salvatore's, well whatever Damon and Stefan did to him I'm sure Niklaus deserved it.
"You will probably find them both at Elena Gilbert house—" I stopped and I turned around to the Mayor stepped forward "—If you are not to course trouble, you will see the Salvatore's and leave town tonight." I didn't come here for any of that, but I'm assuming that the Mikaelson were known for not being the most pleasant of people from this reaction. So I would do as the Mayor asked, I will see both brother's and once I've had the opportunity to explain myself I would leave town.
She gave me the address to this Elena Gilbert home, even after all of these years it appeared that all of the same families still lived here. I did find all this a little odd that the two ladies I just met knew what Stefan and Damon were, I would of thought they would of kept there vampirisms a secret. Then again this was Damon and Stefan, they always had an unorthodox approach to life. The address that the mayor gave me wasn't too far away, I knew exactly where it was. I began to walk through the street and I began to remise about the time I spent here, I wished I never walked away, but I did, and there nothing I could do about it now. I can't take back what I did, but I can try and make amends for my actions. I don't know how either of them will take to seeing me again, but I'll find out soon enough. They probably forgot all about me anyway, I would be a distant memory to them just another girl who lived in their home.
I walked down the street that this Elena Gilbert meant to be living down, as I walked pass the house I looked at the numbers and I finally reached the house. It looked pretty tradition home all painted white your typical American home with a large front porch, I began to walk up the path knowing that there was going to be a possibility of finally going to meet the both of them after all of these years. The closer I got I could feel my heart beating faster, I was frighten about the way they might react, I had to keep in mind that they might not welcome me with open arms, I had to regain their trust after all the lies. I didn't know how they were going to react to seeing me. I walked up the steps of the porch and I notice that the front door was opened, I peeked in and the place looked like a mess. I saw someone picking up broken pieces from the floor which were obviously knocked over in some kind of commotion.
"Excuse me, I was told I would find Damon and Stefan Salvatore may be here." He turned his head at the sound of my voice, and it was the one person I didn't expect to see. Damon looked exactly the same I remembered him, he kept looking at me frowning as he slowly got to his feet. I could feel the fear in my chest waiting to take over. Perhaps it only wants to protect me but there really isn't any danger, Damon maybe a vampire but I knew how to protect myself.
"St-Star?" He looked at me like he had seen a ghost, of course he would think that he hadn't seen me for 147 years. As far as Damon was concerned I would have died with old age, but here we were standing a couple feet apart.
"Hello Damon." I tried to keep my voice steady I didn't know how Damon was going to react to seeing me after all of this time. Damon used his super speed, before I could react thinking that he was about to attack me, he actually wrap his arms around me embracing me tightly. The kind of friendship Damon and I it was that kind of friendship that blooms in the centre of your heart - that kind of friendship that grows from the seed basking in the warm soil to a vast tree with many ups and downs, many - but not enough to disguise the enormity or the grandeur of such a tree, the sheer brilliance and beauty of it.
Damon P.O.V
This day wasn't getting any better, it felt like everything was getting worse by the moment. From last night having Ric die in my arms knowing that Elena had died along with him, because their lives were linked by that Original witch bit. To finding out that Elena had vampire blood in her system, and now with her currently in transition. Then I had Stefan who was deluded with the idea that they could find a way of stopping Elena turning into a vampire, in the history of vampirism that had never happened I think my brother had well and truly lost it. The last time we had a saving grace with John giving Elena his soul, which lead him to his death, but there was no way we could do that again. I couldn't be around my brother when he was behaving like this, giving Elena hope of something that has NEVER been done in vampire history. So I decided to pay Meredith a visit to have a talk with her, not only did the crazy doc blood jack me, but she was using it on people without their knowledge reason being why Elena was in this predicament. When I arrived she had informed me that Pastor Young and the police force had come down here, and took all the vampire blood she had jacked and revoked her licence.
So the pastor and the police force were on a mission, and all it took was for someone to tell them about Stefan and myself for them to come for us. So I drove back to Elena house to tell Stefan about what I had learnt, but when I approached the house the front door was wide opened. As I walked in I saw broken glass on the floor, I looked around the house and Elena and Stefan neither of them were here. Maybe I'm going ahead of myself thinking of the worse, maybe Elena had a moment where she flipped out about this situation. I walked down the stairs and went over to the broken glass, I had this fearful thought of the council come here and took Stefan and Elena? My thoughts were broken by a voice that I thought I would never hear again, as I turned to see if it was really her. There she stood looking exactly how I recalled her, Star, my one and only true friend. She looked even more beautiful than I recalled, in that moment as I got to my feet I wanted to know if she was real or was I tripping over some bad blood. When I embraced her I knew she was the real deal, oh how I've missed her, so many times over the last 146 years I've wished to be able to speak to her.
"Star, it's really you." I pulled away and looked into her beautiful blue eyes that used come to me in my dreams when my mind was trouble. In fact it was only last night I had dreamt of her. "What happened to you? You left not saying a word." I didn't understand why she left that night, and never came back. She left Stefan broken hearted, and I was lost without my best friend. "How are you even alive?" That was the most important question of them all, she looked at me with fear in her eyes which was something I didn't like to see from her.
"I'll explain everything to you Damon, but what happened here?" I wanted to know where the hell she had been, and what the hell is she, because she clearly wasn't a vampire that I knew for sure.
"You walked away Star. We thought you were dead, and you still haven't told me what the hell you are." Star looked at me the same way as used to all those years ago, when she appeared to have the weight of the world on her shoulders.
"Damon I'm sorry you deserve to know the truth about me—" She slowly began to approach me with caution. "I've been alive for over a thousand years—" The moment I heard that it all fell into place, Star was one of them, a Mikaelson. That was her surname which explains why she been so shady about her past. She lied to us everything about her was utter lie. Even back then we were fooled by another goddamn Mikaelson, I pinned her against the wall and I vamp out, as I did she looked at me with a little fear in her eyes.
"It all makes sense now, you're another one of them. An Original! That's why you came back here to seek revenge for your brother—" Star began to move my hand away from her gently, I tried to apply more force but of course her strength was far greater than mine with her being part of that deranged family. I hated her for lying to me, for hiding what she was from me, I trusted her I told her my deepest and darkest secret. Star was the only person who I ever trust, and she walked away from me with no explanation, and now she turns up right now after all of these years finally revealing who she truly is. I kept trying to fight against her, but I couldn't she pinned me against the wall. Star was a lot stronger than the other Originals in her family.
"Damon, I know you are angry at me, but you need to hear me out." I couldn't help but look at her with hatred, I know I was looking at the girl once I cared about more than anything in this world, but that girl died a long time ago. "I need you to calm down—" She warned me as she held me firmly against the wall unable to move. "I didn't come here to seek revenge on whatever you have done to Niklaus. If you want to believe anything please believe that." Did her hear her rightly then she wasn't here to start a war over Klaus? "Please just let me explain. I will tell you everything you want to know." I know I didn't owe her to explain anything to me, but I wanted to know why Star walked out on us.
Star began to explain everything to me from the beginning that her parents were murdered by a coven of witches as they were after unum praeditos. She found out on her 21st birthday that in fact she was the unum praeditos, she was the reason behind her parent's death. Once she learnt of this she ran away, and had been running since as because of what she was, and purpose was to take down some big bad. How could any expect her to bring down something that was going to bring destruction to the world? In 1490 Star moved to England which she spoke of fondly as after nearly 500 years she felt she found a place that could be a home to her. She spoke of the first friend she had ever made in all her time being on the run she was a witch called Bethany who had been helping her find out what was meant for unum praeditos. Well apparently that the big bad was coming in the year 2000, and that Star couldn't let any supernatural creature know what she was as they would use her to their advantage.
I couldn't wrap my mind around it all as she spoke, the Star I knew was this normal young girl with no special abilities. Then Star dropped the biggest bomb shell on me that the man she married Nik was actually in fact Klaus. The thought of Klaus and Star, being a married couple disturbed me, how the hell did she put up with that arrogant asshole. She had overheard a conversation about the curse Klaus had on him which I knew was the curse that stopped him from being a hybrid that they found the doppelgänger aka Katherine. What surprised me was she didn't know what they were, I mean she married the guy and had no idea he was a vampire, he must have hidden it well or Star was totally gullible in the 1400. She received help from her witch friend Bethany, which lead her to literally fake her own death. Then she fled to America and travelled around until the day in 1863 when she turned up on our door step.
The truth of Star leaving that that finally came out, and it turns out that evil bitch Katherine was behind it, she had threated to let out Star secret past and inform Klaus of her location. Well of course Star didn't know that Katherine had been on the run from Klaus for over 300 year. Katherine did what she always did best and manipulate people, she was a corrupted evil bitch. The sad part to all this is that night Stefan was going to going to ask Star to marry him, my father even gave him our mother engagement ring. To say that Stefan was heartbroken was understatement, I don't think he has ever gotten over Star disappearing.
"You know you broke Stefan heart after you left—" She looked at me with guilt in her eyes, but she had to know of the consequences of her up and leaving like that. If she had just told us everything we wouldn't have judge her, if anything we would have done anything humanly possible to keep her safe. "—But Katherine made sure he didn't think about you anymore." She looked me frowning, I didn't want her to think that he had moved on that quick, but to let her know how Katherine wormed her way into his bed. "She compelled him to forget you, but of course once we were turned all the compulsion wore off. Unfortunately when that happened, Stefan didn't take it too well." I feel that's why Stefan became the way he was, the way he turned to blood because part of him was beating himself up for letting Katherine take away the love he had for Star. I know my brother thinks about her even after all of these years, Star was his first true love, yes I know his in love with Elena, but the way he looks at Elena wasn't the same as when he used to look into Star eyes. There was a bond between the both of them that I've never seen with anyone else in my 171 years.
Star was about to speak, but Liz turned up informing me that her and Carol were locked out of all council business. That wasn't the worst part as I Matt turn up looking to Elena. When I saw him I had penetrated anger towards him, my stupid brother saved him and let Elena die for what so we couldn't literally have another quarter back. I attacked him I was ready to rip his head off but Star stopped me, and that point I totally flipped out at her. I could see that every word I said to her hurt like I was cutting her with a knife, she was about to leave but I couldn't have her walking out of my life once again. It wasn't her fault that she had to leave before, granted that she did lie about her past but who could blame her. This anger was because I'd mourned for 147 year over the friendship I had with Star, and I couldn't let her walk out of my life once again. So I asked her to stay I didn't want her to go, because I'm a selfish person I couldn't continue not having her in my life without. I didn't know how Stefan was going to take to Star coming back into our lives, but I'm not letting him drive Star away.
"With your vervain and Alaric's weapons; they could be anywhere." This negativity wasn't helping my situation right now, how many places are there around here that could hold vampires in.
"Come on, guys, think. It takes a lot to hold a vampire. Reinforced steel, iron doors." I was getting really frustrated with all of this now, I glanced over at Star and she looked a little uncomfortable with the situation.
"The Pastor has a cattle ranch." I looked over at Matt, while he looked at me sheepishly. "Those pens could easily be modified." He might be onto something, somewhere like that could work to keep hold of them.
"It's remote, it's secluded." Meredith added, well I think we may have found where they are keeping them, I looked over at Matt.
"Well, guess what? Looks like you get a chance to prove how sorry you really are." I looked over at Star who was staring into space, I think the fact that I told her that Stefan was going to ask her to marry him may have got her a little jittery. "Let's go." She looked at me with a worrisome look, she had to face Stefan sooner or later, sooner the better so he can let out what he needs to say to her.
"You want me to come?" Personally I needed more muscle, and she was immortal so no harm could come to her, and they wouldn't see it come either.
"Yes Star. If you can kick the crap out of me then you can do it to anyone." She stood there still with the same expression, maybe she needed reminding who we are trying to save. "We are talking about Stefan life here." She nodded her head before making her way out of the house, I just hope that we get there we aren't too late.
Star P.O.V
Damon had convinced me to go on some heroic mission to go and save Stefan and this Elena girl; I really didn't know what he wanted me to do. Yes I could defend myself, but I didn't know what I was going to walk into, these weren't supernatural creatures we were facing. From my understanding they were humans and the look Damon had in his eyes he was ready to murder anyone who will stop him from saving his brother. I wasn't sure if I was ready to walk into a battle zone, and I shared my concerns with Damon, but of course he gave me a speech about needed his best friend right now, which really got to me. I needed to prove to him that I would be there for him no matter what, and I think this is going to be the first step of me trying to gain his trust back. Now I wasn't worried about the casualties of this raid that we were about to do, no what worried me was how Stefan is going to take to seeing me after all this time. We arrived at this location that the young man Matt told us about, we all got out of Damon's car and began to walk towards a house which I assumed was this was the home of the Pastor.
"So, what, we just storm the place with zero weapons?" I asked looking at Damon; he gave a cheeky smile and looked over at Matt with a devilish look in his eyes which was a little concerning.
"Nah, we don't need weapons. Just bait." Damon rushes towards Matt and bites his neck. Matt falls to the ground, groaning in pain from the attack. What the hell was Damon playing at?
"Damon—" I stopped speaking as soon as he turned to me with blood dripping from his chin, this was a side of him I hadn't seen before and it was leaving me feel a certain way. All these years I've been fighting against vampires, and now my closest friend was one.
"Don't worry Star." He gave me a wink before taking a few steps towards the house. "Yoo-hoo! Anybody home? Big, bad vampire out here." Damon really hadn't changed, he still had the same sarcastic manner. The Pastor opens the front door and sees Matt on the ground, bleeding this wasn't the best of ideas but I had to follow Damon lead on this one.
"Let him go. The boy's innocent." I really didn't know were Damon was going with all of this, was he planning on feeding more on this poor guy Matt who Damon seems to loath because of this Elena girl.
"Well, that's the point. Give me Stefan and Elena, he's all yours." Damon grabs Matt by the scruff of his shirt, and picks him up. "Come on, Pastor. You know I'll kill him. I want to kill him." That Pastor didn't look like he was buying any of this, even though Damon really did look like he wouldn't mind taking a chunk out of Matt's throat.
"Go away! You are not invited in, and I'm not coming out!" I felt a sharp pain in my back, which caused me to buckle over falling to my knees, I turned to Damon to see him get shot in the chest before falling to the ground. I knew I had to play dead, looks like these guys want to play hard ball. I laid on the ground not moving a mussel, I saw two officers come around the corner with their guns out, one approach Damon and the other officers gently nudges me with his foot. These guys wanted to play dirty, well I'm going to show these ass hole what I am about. I got up and grabs the guns out of the officers hands, taking them both by surprise, I killed both of them by snapping the neck of one of them and stabbing the other one with his own gun. I stood there breathing heavily looking down at the two dead corpse, realizing what I had done.
"Wow I'm impressed." I turned around to see Damon standing there proud of what I had done, I hadn't taken a human life for years in this way. What I did here right now was for self-defence they were going to kill us. I looked over at Matt, he was still on the ground nearby, and Damon walks over to him and kicks him hard in the stomach. Seriously what was Damon problem with him? He was doing all this over this Elena girl, what was so damn special about her?
"Go ahead and kill me. You can't possibly hate me more than I hate myself." Damon was tormenting this poor guy, whatever had happened he was beating himself up enough about, he didn't need Damon to add more guilt.
"Oh, yes I can." Damon places his foot on Matt's throat and begins to push down. "It should have been you!" I was about to rush over to stop Damon from doing anything stupid, when out of nowhere, someone rushes towards Damon and knocks him off of Matt.
"Leave him alone!" I couldn't believe my eye after 147 year there she was; I felt anger take over me that I hadn't felt in a very long time, it was time for Katherine to feel my waft. I rushed over to her and grabbed her by the throat, she looked at me with widen eyes as she grasped for air.
"I've been waiting 147 years to kill you, I'm going to make you suffer for what you did." Every word I spoke I squeezed her wind pipe a little tighter, I want to crush her like she crushed me. Making me run thinking that she would tell Nik about my existence, when all along she had her own agenda, she will be begging for death once I'm done with her.
"Star don't, that isn't Katherine—" I was far too focus on watching her struggling for her next breath to even listen. "That's not Katherine, that's Elena." Damon spoke as he tried to get me off her, I finally let go of her throat and looked at him.
"How the hell does she look like Katherine?" I swear if Damon making any of this up I will kill him, I knew from the moment he saw Katherine he was smitten over her.
"It's a long story Star and I'll explain it all to you later." I kept staring at this Elena, she was the splitting image of Katherine, I kept waiting for her to smirk to just give me an indication that it was her. Damon got in my view placing his hands on either of my shoulder to get my attention. "Listen you go and find Stefan, and let me deal with Elena." Even though this girl was Elena it didn't stop the urge to want to rip her to shreds. "Star please…" I turned to Damon before walking away from them as I couldn't predict what I would do if I stayed around her any long.
I had to keep focused on finding Stefan, I had no idea where to even start looking for him. I saw a barn so I began to approach it, I could hear someone arguing the closer I got. I heard Stefan yelling at Matt which brought up a string of emotions, the last time we saw one another he looked at me with such adoration. Stefan was utterly in love with me and all I can remember, but I knew when he would see me now I wouldn't see those loving eyes. I was frightened of the possible rejection from Stefan I don't know if I was strong enough to deal with it. As soon as I walked in I saw him for the first time in 146 years, the memory I had of him but the memory of Stefan didn't do him any justice.
"Elena's a vampire, because of me. I have to live with that every day for the rest of my life." Matt spoke as he was getting up from the floor. Matt looked heart broken, he couldn't continue to blame himself for all this, I know I didn't know the whole story behind Katherine 2.0 aka this Elena no one could be blamed for this from happening.
"No, no, no, you don't have to live with that, you get to live with that. Because Elena put your life before her own. So every morning you get out of bed, you sure as hell better earn it." Stefan threaten him, I couldn't face him not with him being this angry, I began to walk away. "Excuse me" I heard him call out, but I kept walking I wasn't ready for any of this I was stupid to think I could just pop up in his life after the way I left things with him. Stefan intercepted me, there he stood right in front of me, I felt myself stop breathing as his eyes bored into mine with confusion. "Star?" I'm so not ready for this.
"Stefan." He stood there gobsmacked as he looking at me, every part of me wanted to run away, but my feet wouldn't move.
"Ho-how are you even here?" His words stumbling out of his mouth. I went to open my mouth to speak but he silence me. "No, I don't even want to know." He began to walk away from me, I couldn't leave it like this, so I intercepted him taking him by surprise.
"Well, that explains why you're alive." He looked at me with such sorrow in his eyes, the last thing I ever wanted to do to him was hurt him. "What are you here for Star?" I wanted to talk but no words would come out, Stefan began to walk away again I intercepted him, and he didn't look happy.
"Stefan please, just let me explain." He stood there and glared at me with such hatred, a look from him that I never thought I would experience. "I-I'm sorry I-I didn't mean to leave the way I did. It was Katherine she threatened—" Stefan cut me off before I could say another word.
"You could have told me Star!" Stefan had never raised his voice to me before, but he had every right to be this way after everything. "You walked away from me Star, you broke my heart!" I felt a lump build up in my throat, as this was a lot harder than I ever imagined for it to be.
"Ste-Stefan please let me—" Once again he cut me off from explaining this to him.
"I don't want to hear it Star, was everything you've ever told me has been a lie." I touched his arm and he moved away. "Even our love was a lie" I couldn't hold back the tears anymore, there was so much hatred in his voice when he spoke to me, he was a different person not the sweet Stefan I knew all those years ago.
"Stefan that a little harsh" I heard Damon say from behind me, this was the last thing I needed for the brothers to get into an argument over my actions
"Damon you stay out of this. This has nothing to do with you." I wish I never came here, I was so foolish to think that Stefan was going to take me coming back here well.
"It has everything to do with me Stefan." Damon spoke as he began to approach Stefan. "You haven't even let Star explain—" Stefan cut him off, he wasn't going to hear anything about my reason in his eyes I betrayed him, I lied to him, there was no coming back from it all.
"I don't need anything explained to me." Stefan growled at Damon before turning to me. "The day you walk out Star, your tore my world apart. I've mourned over you enough, you are dead to me." Those were his final words before he walked away from me. I processed the words he had said he hated me he didn't even want to know me, in that moment I felt my legs give way, but I felt a pair arms wrap around me stopping me from falling.
"His just in shock. He didn't mean anything he said." Damon was trying to comforting me, but Stefan hated me he meant every word he said, there was no need for Damon to be so kind about it all as I deserved it.
"Damon he-he hates me, he won't ever forgive me for putting him though all that pain." I cried into Damon chest as he held me tightly in his arm. "I've got to live with that regret Damon." He pulled me away from him, and began to wipe my tears away.
"Star the love that Stefan had for you didn't fade away, his hurt and his lashing out at you. He didn't mean anything he said tonight, it was just the shock of seeing you." I couldn't deal with any of this anymore, I thought I could deal with see Stefan, and whatever he threw at me but I couldn't. This was all a huge mistake I needed to just back home I've caused enough damage here already.
"Damon, I'm sorry, I should of never of come here." I got out of his grip, and attempted to walk away but Damon intercepted me before I could take another step.
"Don't you dare Star, don't you dare walk away from me again." He held both of my hands tightly as he looked into my eyes. "Star, you can't walk away again, I need you, I need my friend more than ever. I promise you that Stefan will come around." I began to shake my head I couldn't stay, there was no way that Stefan will ever come around not with the way he just reacted. "Listen to me Star, you walked away 147 years ago because you were forced to, but if you walk away now it will be because you chose to walk away." I looked up and Damon was looking at me with pleading eyes, did Damon really miss me that much? "It's your choice, but the girl I knew wouldn't walk away after an argument." He was right I wasn't one to run away anymore I had been running for far too long. With Damon practically begging me to stay makes me believe that he really needs a friend, so I wasn't going to go anywhere and be here for him and no one else.
"I'll stay." Damon hugged me tightly, I couldn't abandon him again I need to build bridges again with him. My only reason for staying is for one person and that Damon.
