Stefan P.O.V
After speaking to Elena last night about the whole blood shearing with Damon she really didn't get why it upset me, all she saw it as was the fact that Damon was trying to help her. What hurt more than anything was the fact she couldn't turn to me she turned to him. So I thought we all needed to let go of all out grief and pain that we had been holding on to, so I made every one meet outside the school. We all lit paper lantern to represent the people we had lost along the way, of course Damon didn't take it all too well and walked away. Out of everyone he needed to let go he needed to, with Rose dying of the werewolf bite, then Ric and not forgetting the fact he had mourned over Star for the last 147 years but magically came back into our lives. That's when I realised the fact that I didn't want to let go of everything from my past, and when I mean my past I mean Star.
I had been so harsh on her not listen to her reason of why she walked away, and when today she got shot by that hunter and I watched her drop to the ground all I felt was fear. I wasn't ready to lose her, I didn't want to lose or have her out of my life, because deep down I was still in love with her. I had been kidding myself all of these years that I had gotten over her; I could never get over her no matter what. Yes I love Elena, and I would do anything for her, but I would be lying to myself denying my true feeling for Star. So I went down the hospital to go and see her I knew she was still down there because Caroline and Elena told me she was waiting to be discharged.
When I walked in she was just bout to get changed, she stood there in her black lace underwear, which made me feel a little embarrassed as I hadn't seen her like that in a long time. I tried to tell her that I wanted to hear her out, I needed to know why she came back, but she thought I was there to throw another dig at her. To be honest I didn't blame her after the way I behaved with her. I didn't care anymore about her lies, I wanted to know who Star was, because even though she told me lies about her past I know deep down I know the love we had was real. All she wanted me to hate her, but I couldn't the her, I'd tried and no matter how much I pushed myself to do it I couldn't. Then she told me about the man she spoke of as her husband, that in fact he was Klaus, of all people in the world it had to be him. I needed to know one thing I needed to know did she love him as much as she claimed to of loved me, when she turned to me her face was filled with so many emotions.
"The love I had with Niklaus consumed me I was blinded by everything, to me he was my world and nothing could ever compare to him. But then I met you 371 years later I met you, and the love you gave me was so pure—" She looked at me with sorrow in her eyes. "—Stefan you have a new life now, and I have to move on with mine. I've lost you to all of my lies, I think we should leave the past where it needs to be in the past." She walked out of that room leaving me with confused, so I went after her and I couldn't find her anywhere. I rushed back to the boarding house and looked for her there but she wasn't there, I didn't know what to do anymore a few days ago my world was all about Elena. Then to have Star just walks into my life after all this time all I felt was confusion about my feelings. What I did know is that I couldn't walk away from Elena, not with everything she's going through right now, if anything she need me more than ever.
In the morning I woke up I walked down the hallway to the bedroom Star was staying in, and it looked like she hadn't slept in it. Which had me worried now that I may have pushed her too far that she gone away and not planning to come back. I don't think I could deal with her walk out of my life again, and I knew for sure that Damon wouldn't be able to either. I went into the garage and got out my motorcycle that that hadn't used in years, I thought it may be a good idea to cheer Elena up to show her that we could have fun as immortals. I heard the front door opened and Damon came out on to the porch.
"Good day for a midlife crisis. 164 years, I'd say you're due." Typical Damon everything a joke to him, but I wasn't going to let his sarcasm distract what I plan to do in helping Elena.
"Elena's transition to vampire has been a little depressing, I'm gonna help her have some fun." That was the plan, I needed her to stop thinking that turning into a vampire it's all bad, and we do have some perks to this new immortality she has.
"Oh. Those who can't do, teach." Damon walks towards me; well it looks like we are still on bad terms here, he was pissed at me for something that he had done.
"Ah, I see we're still fighting. Got it." I looked down and continued to work on the bike, then I notice Damon walking away. "Where you going?" He was walking towards his car.
"That hunter jacked Tyler Lockwood of his werewolf venom last night; so basically, he's got vampire poison in a bottle. And I'm gonna find him, and I'm gonna eat him." I got off the bike, I didn't want Damon dealing with the hunter on his own not with him having werewolf venom. With Klaus dead there wasn't a cure to save him, so between the two of us we could take him down.
"I'll go with you." I spoke as I climbed off the bike, Damon looked at me clenching his jaw.
"I don't want your help. I just want to kill this guy and get the hell out of town. Wasn't that the deal? Whoever Elena doesn't choose leaves." Elena needed Damon at the moment she is clearly rely on him more than she did with me these days, if he walked away then he won't just be walking away from her but me also.
"That was before she turned." I reminded him everything had changed, he knew that too so with him acting like a spoilt brat right now wasn't helping circumstances.
"And I stayed to help. If I take you punching me as the first clue, I'm not wanted here anymore." Damon was being childish why couldn't he understand why I was pissed, if it was the other way around Damon would murder me on the spot rather than punching me the face.
"Listen, you blood shared with my girlfriend, and I punched you in the face. You deserved it. Let not forget the fact you didn't stop Star from getting herself shot. Why don't you stop being dramatic?" Damon glared at me as he began to approach me, looking pissed.
"No, brother, dramatic would be leaving before I kill this hunter." We both stood there glaring at each other, neither of us backing down from this issue that was going on between us. "When did you start giving a damn about Star?" Damon was still protective over Star even after everything, he shook his head and walked to his car and opened his door. "Let's get one thing straight, Star's not that venerable girl you remember from 1864, she can clearly handle herself." He got in his car and drove off, Damon was right that Star could handle herself, but that didn't matter all I wanted is for her to be safe and nothing to happen to her. Was that so much to ask?
I got myself ready to go to school, I thought coming here there would be less drama but I was wrong. Rebekah began to winding up Elena in class, they both hadn't seen each other since that night we were all locked in the Young farm. Trying to stop those too from tearing each other apart was proven quite a challenge. Rebekah knew what button to push with Elena, and with Elena not being very stable, her emotions are all over the place. So I pulled Elena out of class and tried to calm her down but it wasn't work all she wanted to do was drive the white oak stake through Rebekah heart. Which I knew it wouldn't be a good idea, Elena was letting her rage over take her she wasn't thinking straight. As I was speaking to her I notice that hunter approaching Jeremy, Elena wanted to find out what he wanted, but she was covered in blood he would instantly kill her so I told her I would deal with it.
I left Elena and followed where Jeremy and the hunter went I listened in on their conversation apparently Jeremy could see some sort of tattoo on him, and that he was some potential hunter. I walked away I didn't want him catch me listening, I'll just speak to Jeremy about it later. I went back to look for Elena and I couldn't find her, but when I did she looked even more pissed than before, Apparently when she went to clear herself up, Rebekah compelled a girl to let Elena drink from her, Rebekah was really taking it all too far now. I texted Caroline to meet us outside I think I needed her help with this one. Caroline and I were sitting outside at a table while Elena is pacing back and forth in front of us; she really needed to control her emotions about all of this.
"It was a valiant first day effort. No one will judge you if you want to go home." Caroline glanced over at Elena and she stopped pacing and looked at her not impressed.
"I don't want to go home. I want to take the white oak stake and kill her. That's how mad I am. She made me murderous!" Elena screamed I don't know what going on with her but she sounded more like Damon these days.
"How about we just leave the murdering to Damon?" I got up and walked towards Elena, I had to let her calm down and defuse from all this rage.
"And – and then do what? Ignore her to death?" She was really frustrated about all of this, but I needed to calm her down, killing Rebekah isn't going to help matters.
"Look, she's trying to make herself feel better, she knows that everybody hates her, so she's trying to hate harder. Tell you what; let's just skip the rest of the day. Go have some fun. I feel like this day is severely lacking in fun." That was what Elena needed a distraction from everything, Elena looks at Caroline who was smiling, Elena looked at me nodded in defeat.
"Yeah Okay, fine." We heard a roar of a motorcycle, we all turned around to see the person getting off was Star. She stood there all in leathers, she approached the three of us with a concern look.
"Have any of you seen Damon?" Caroline got up and walked over to Star bike and looks at it with admiration, I never thought of Star being a motorcycle person.
"Wow this is one beast." I didn't even know that Star even knew how to ride one of those, then again I didn't really know Star.
"Yeah it's an Aprilia RS250, just picked it up today." She turned back to Elena and I. "Have you seen him then?" I felt like I was in a trance I knew what she told me last night that we should leave the past behind, but I'm not sure if I can. Her phone began to buzz, and she pulled out her phone and began to frown. "Don't' worry I've found him, see you guys later." She walked away and got on her motorcycle and drove off.
"Well I think we know why Klaus married her." Elena broke me from my thoughts, she knew that Star was married to Klaus? "We'll go to Rebekah party, and show her that she can't intimidate me. I just have to go home and change first." Elena waved bye to Caroline and leaves, I turned around and looks at Caroline.
"How did Elena know that Star was married to Klaus?" Caroline looked at me a little nervously as we began to to walk, what happened that I didn't know about?
"Well Star kind of dropped that bomb shell when she introduced herself, also the fact she's over a thousand years old, she stressed the point that she wasn't a vampire but a unum praeditos—" I was trying to processes everything Caroline was telling me "—She mentioned about something about her being here to face some big evil." I stopped and looked at her what did she mean by big evil?
"What big evil Caroline?" Caroline looked at me with a little concern, if she knew something she had to tell me, if there was something coming here to Mystic Falls that Star was going to be facing we needed to be prepared.
"I don't know Stefan. Star was a little blasé about it all, it not like she and I are BFF," Well it look like I needed to have a conversation with Star about this, "Does Elena seem a little off balance to you?" I looked back at Caroline, I was glad that I wasn't the only one who notice the huge change in Elena behaviour.
"Yeah, she's channelling all her emotions into rage it makes her feel like she has purpose. I used to do that too when I was, you know." I had never been good at control my emotions especially when I turned and realised what I lost.
"Ripper you?" Caroline said a little nervously, I smiled at her.
"Yeah. She needs to come to terms with it, confront it, let it in before she can let it go." Caroline nods in an agreement as we continued to walk toward my car.
"You're good at this, you know that? You saved my vampire life, now you're saving hers." Well neither of them asked for this life, actually neither did I, but if I could help them I would. "You should write a book. Go on the View." I don't know about me writing a book, but Damon was right those who can't do teach, I hadn't been able to control my emotions after all these years. I just became good at was hiding them.
Star P.O.V
After the conversation with Stefan when I walked out of the hospital I ran, I kept running until I got to the boarder of Canada. I knew exactly what I was doing, I was running away from my problems again, but right now I needed to be as far that Mystic Falls as possible. I couldn't go back to the house, not tonight. I needed to gather my thoughts, I needed to know what I'm going to do next, because right now I didn't have a clue about anything. I went to a diner and order some food and hot drink, I sat down in one of the booths in the forefront of my mind was Nik. Niklaus was dead and I would never see him ever again, a part of me felt sorrow with knowing that. What was sad is that I didn't fear him anymore, and I know now if I had the chance to face him I would be able to handle whatever he may have thrown at me. Then there was Stefan who I needed to let go, I was right when I said we had to let the past go. He had Elena and from what little I saw she was good for him, I was happy for him. It was time for me to keep to my word I had to let go of the past and that what I'm planning on doing let Niklaus and Stefan go.
I stayed in Canada overnight I didn't want to go back to the boarding house just in case another confrontation began with Stefan, in the morning I made my way back I stopped in New York. I had a safety deposited box in the bank of New York, that's where I kept my cash over the years and I wanted to get something I've been dreaming about getting for a long time. So I went to a motorcycle store and bought myself an Aprilia RS250. I needed to cheer myself up somehow and this was perfect, I drove back to Mystic Falls in less than 4 hours, and it felt having great having the wind rush pass me. When I got back to the boarding house neither of the brothers was there, I called Damon and it went straight to answer phone. Well I knew where one brother would be now, and it time for me to prove to myself I've let go. I got on my motorcycle and drove to the school. As I approached the parking lot I notice that Caroline, Elena and Stefan were outside well that was perfect timing I parked up and got off the bike. I felt like I had walked in on something, but my concern was finding Damon, I needed to knock some sense into him after learning that his in fact in love with his brother girl. That was a no go area, they had been through this before with Katherine and there no need to repeat history. Of course they were all clueless of where Damon could be, but luckily Damon actually responded to my dozens of missed called and asked me to meet him. I left the school and arrived at the location that Damon had told me to meet him. I don't know what was up with him but I'm concerned about the part he needed my help ASAP, I made my way to the trailer and I opened the door and I saw Damon standing there.
"Why were you being so cryptic?" He turned to me and smiled, he seemed fine so what was his problem?
"I'm liking the leathers." He spoke flirtatiously which caused me to roll my eye. "Come in. Close the door." As I stepped further into the trailer I saw that Damon and he had an arrow in his chest, and one in his leg, my eyes followed the wire and it was attached to something.
"Tell me that is not a bomb." What the hell was Damon doing here and who the hell lived here? As I began to look around I knew exactly who's place this was, and Damon was out of his mind coming here of course Conner was going to rig this place.
"Okay. It's a kitten. It's an adorable, exploding kitten." I wasn't in the mood for his sarcasm right now, I know I'm his friend, but why didn't he call Stefan to help him.
"Why didn't you call your brother?" Damon didn't look amused well it wasn't a hard question to answer.
"Because I'm proud and stubborn and… oh, look! You're already here." I stood there glared at him, I knew exactly why Damon didn't call him they were still arguing over the fact that Damon gave Elena his blood. "Come on, you're not gonna get hurt. All I need you to do is cut out the arrow. I'd do it myself, but if I move—" Damon touches the string of the arrow.
"Don't!" I didn't want anything to happen to him, Damon pulls his hand away and makes a soft kabooming noise. "Okay." I grabbed a knife lying on the table, and I stood behind Damon putting the point of the knife to the arrow which is going through Damon's back. "Okay." I felt a little nervous doing this one wrong move and this place would blow up.
"Nice, crazy guy, Pastor Young wrote a letter about sacrifice and war brewing in Mystic Falls." He shows the letter to me I began to read it, he spoke about an evil coming it couldn't be the same evil that I'm meant to take down? "I have no idea what mean 'a greater evil is coming'?" I didn't respond to that because I was concentrating on pry out the arrow from Damon's back. "Don't we have great enough evil already in this world?" I just hope that Pastor Young was a loon and he weren't actually talking about the real deal.
"You'd think." Damon's phone starts on the table, I saw that the caller ID was Elena calling; He ignored the call, I don't know if he done that because I'm here or he didn't want to speak to her. "How did you get stuck on hunter duty?" I thought he and Stefan would be dealing with this, actually I wanted to get hold of Connor myself without the brothers knowing, after what he did to me I'm planning on giving him a real good beat down.
"Stefan had a Physics test." I couldn't help but smile, I knew he was lying to me.
"You are a good brother," I knew Damon kept on putting this act up that he didn't care but I knew deep down, he really did. With him turning into a vampire would never change the strong bond that he had for his little brother if anything it would have only made it stronger.
"I'm the bad brother." I think my friend needs a little reality check.
"You're strung up to a bomb while Stefan plays vampire with a girl who clearly broke your heart, but you're doing a very good job of acting like it doesn't suck." Damon turned his head to face me to protest. "Tell me I'm wrong." He looked at me with sorrow in his eyes, he really did have strong feeling for Elena. I finished prying out the arrow as much as could to allow Damon to remove it without the bomb exploding. "Okay, I think that should be good." Damon yanks out the arrow and drops it on the table "Now what are you going to do about a little hunter problem?" He turned to me and he had a little evil glint in his eye.
"I'm going to rip out his heart out, and make him eat it, that what I'm going to do." Damon walked out of the trailer, I couldn't let Damon do that because he kills Connor he will have the hunter curse and I can't let go through that. I needed to find Connor before Damon does, I just need to figure out where the hell he would be.
Stefan P.O.V
I needed to keep Elena distracted after what happened today with Rebekah, now she wanted to go to Rebekah party personally I didn't know if it was the best idea, but I knew Elena will keep her composure. One thing that kind bothered me today was when Elena mention she understood why Klaus married Star, what did she mean by that? We all know that Klaus is evil through and through, Star wasn't like that at all/ I did want to bite back at the comment, but that would only arise more questions about Star, and I wasn't in the mood for an argument. Star hadn't told them about our relationship, and I think she did that not to complicate things between Elena and I. For now I think it would be best for Elena not to know, she was unpredictable at the moment and I can honestly say I really don't know how she will react to Star was the woman I wanted to marry.
I picked up Elena from her house, and we went over to Rebekah new home, as we walked up to the house we saw a few kids outside, drinking from a keg and having a good time. We made our way to the entrance of the house and step through the doorway with no issue, look like we didn't need an invite to come in.
"Wow, we didn't have to be invited in. I wonder who used to live here." I was pretty impressed Rebekah place was pretty nice, maybe with her not being Klaus side kick will finally change her.
"Or who died here." Elena added we stopped walking, and I notice that Elena sees Rebekah in that moment the look of rage spreads across her face.
"You're fixating." I need her to snap out of it Elena didn't stand a chance against Rebekah she was an original.
"No, I'm just quietly hating." A guy walks past us with a cup of beer in his hand, I stopped him and I began to compel him.
"This is mine now." He hands me his cup of beer. "Thank you." I handed the drink to Elena. "Why don't you have a drink? It'll help you let go." Elena takes the cup from me, she was about to take a sip when she sees April walking across the room.
"April's here. I'm gonna go say hi." Well at least April might keep her distracted.
"And I am going to find something a little stronger than beer." I needed her to try and do this alone, and to be honest I weren't in the mood to be here right now.
"Okay." We both walked off in opposite directions.
I had been here for half hour, and I wanted to leave, all I kept thinking about was Star and what she was doing. I know I should be concerned about my girlfriend not my ex, but I don't know why felt the need to protect her since finding out about this evil she was meant to take down. Stupid I know, because clearly Star could look after herself, and I'm sure Damon entertaining her. So I need to focus on Elena, I hadn't seen her for a while I began to look for her. I saw her in the kitchen I watched as I saw her walking over to her bag on the countertop, and takes out the white oak stake. I didn't need to guess who gave that to her, Elena starts to leave the kitchen, but I stood right in front of her.
"Damon give that to you?" Elena looked at me with vengeance in her eyes, she was going to get herself killed, she was a new vampire who didn't how control over her abilities.
"Yes. Reluctantly. Stefan, she's – she's not gonna stop, she's just gonna keep pushing and pushing." I think some reverse psychology in order here, because stopping her wasn't going to work.
"Well, if you want to kill her—" I step aside and gestures towards the hallway. "—I'm not gonna stop you. But see, here's what'll happen, it'll feel really good for about ten seconds, and then after that tens and thousands of vampires all over the world will start to die. Every vampire she ever turned will die. See rage is a really powerful feeling. But guilt, take it from me, it'll destroy you. So, you can either go after her or you can get on the back of my motorcycle and we can get the hell out of here" I held my hand out in hopes that Elena had taken in everything I had said, she places the white oak stake in my hand. We both walk out of the house and down into the front yard.
"Leaving so soon?" Rebekah called out while standing on the front porch, Elena stops and turns around; looking up at Rebekah.
"No. Not just ye.t" Elena looks at me and hands me her bag. "I never got a drink." She looks at Rebekah, smirking, and walks over to the keg. She places her hands on the sides of the keg and does a handstand, someone sticks the beer hose in her mouth and she starts to drink. Everyone starts to chant chug. Elena eventually comes back to the ground and wipes her mouth "Now I'm ready to go." I couldn't help but smile at her Elena had proven she can be the better person, I handed Elena her bag and we walk away together. I'm glad I'm finally getting through to her. I need to forget about Star and focus on Elena because no matter what I feel for Star I had to let go.
Damon P.O.V
Star came and out me out of my little jam, she had only been here for a few days and she had already notice that I was in love with Elena, she really did know me too well. I didn't really want to talk to her about it, I wasn't really ready to talk, what would be the point Elena chose Stefan and I had to accept that. Star impressed me with her new motorcycle it kind of crazy to think Stefan gets his old bike out and then Star turns up with this nice machinery. You could clearly see they were meant to be together, but unfortunately they both didn't see that. Something tells me that after that little eulogy Star spoke about the death of her husband that she was more affected by this death than she let on.
I had left Star she said she had some stuff to deal with, but I had an interesting talk with Jeremy about Connor apparently he had approached Jeremy telling him he was some potential hunter. He wanted Jeremy to bring him a vampire so he could teach him the way, so Jeremy and I diverse a plan but I needed some back up. I called up Tyler I knew he wanted to kick the crap out of that Connor dick more than I did, but when I called the one person who I didn't expect to answer that was Klaus. The only thing that ran through my mind is Star I had told her that he was dead, did this guy have nine lives or something. He had told me Tyler was dealing with some dilemma, but he offered his assistance I knew I was going to kick myself for this later, but he was freaking destructible. I'll have to warn Star that he back in town I don't know how she going to take to it, but I'm going to be by her side I will not allow Klaus to hurt her. He will have to get through me before he comes near her. I was waiting for Connor in storage room, he came in, and like clockwork straight after Meredith.
"Is a hospital really the best place for a germaphobe?" He asked as I walked out from behind a rack of medical supplies,
"Oh did my friend say that I was a germaphobe? Pft, sorry, she meant to say vampire." Connor pulls out a gun to shoot me, but was struck by an arrow. He drops his gun and bends down to pick it up, but he is shot by another arrow, he looks at both the arrows and saw that they are attached to bombs.
"Stings, doesn't it?" Welcome to my world buddy. Connor attempts to grab his gun again, but someone kicks it out of the way. Connor looks up and sees Klaus.
"Hello, mate." As much as I didn't want him here I couldn't help but smirk, Connor don't know what he dealing with now, but I know I'm going to have great pleasure ripping him apart. For once I was actually happy to see Klaus he actually came through. Who would of thought? Connor was attempting to pull the arrow out from his side as Klaus and I was watching him.
"Keep it up, buddy. We'll be scraping you off the ceiling." He looked up at me not looking very amused, well now he knows how I felt this afternoon.
"You two are gonna kill me anyway." Well he was kind of right there, but we needed a little information from him before we did that.
"Well, let's not be too hasty. I feel like we're just getting to know each other." Klaus teased him; he was actually bearable when he weren't being a dick, I just hope he skips town before finding out his dead wife isn't so dead.
"Let's start with the basics. Where are you from, what do you know, maybe you can cue me in on this 'greater evil', because I've fought this guy—" I Pointed at Klaus. "—and there's nothing more evil than that." I spoke as I handed Klaus a letter that the pastor wrote,
"Yeah, truth be told, I'm as evil as it gets." He said proudly while he read the letter, seriously I didn't get what Star saw in him to have married him, he must of compelled her or something she wasn't that blind… was she?
"I'm not telling you anything, and if you think if you kill me it's gonna be over, there's another waiting to take my place." Great was there a freaking army of these guys?
"See, this is what I like to hear; vague threats, ominous prophecies, disappearing tattoos." I notice that Klaus looks down at Connor and stops smirking.
"What do you mean tattoos?" He seemed a little surprised which was a little unusual for him, I thought the billion year old vampire knew it all.
"Don't bother, you can't see the damn thing." Klaus kneels down next to Connor.
"There's more to you than meets the eye, isn't there?" Connor looks at him, then he attempts to stake Klaus, but Klaus is too quick and catches his arm. "Nice try, but I'm faster than your average vampire." Well he was right there, Klaus twists his arm and grabs the stake out of his hand. He looks at the stake and seem a little surprised. "You're one of the Five." What the hell was a freaking five?
"The what?" I was confused what the hell is one of the five?
"And I'm faster than your average hunter." I saw that Connor is about to pull the string to the bomb and I rushed out of the room, leaving Connor and Klaus behind. The bomb explodes and was thrown through the air, landing face down on the floor. I looked behind me as the massive fireball disperses; well it looks like I won't find out now what one of the five is.
Stefan P.O.V
Elena and I went for a ride on my motorcycle, and she really appeared to be enjoying herself, for the first time in a long time I saw her smiling. I drove us both back the boarding house and we both got off the bike and we walked into the house, I had a message from Damon saying that Klaus wasn't as dead as we thought and he was helping him with our hunter issue. I was about to tell Elena what I had learnt, when she pinned me against the wall and began to kiss me. I couldn't help but smile at her I vamp speed up to my room, Elena pushes me down onto my bed and straddles me. We started to kiss passionately, Elena sat back up and looks down at me smiling. I started to sit up as well, I didn't want any space between us but Elena pushes me back down on the bed. She starts to vamp out I grabbed her and super speeds myself on top of her. We started kissing again, I started to kiss Elena's neck and chest. I stops to look at her, she looked at me like she didn't know who I was.
"No!" She shouted, she pushes me off of her. What the hell wrong with her?
"Are you okay?" Elena was breathing heavily as she grabs her arm, and pulls up her sleeve. There are red marks creeping up her arm.
"Stefan. What's wrong with me?" She pulls up her other sleeve; and the same appeared on that one too, no this couldn't be happening, I had seen that before on Damon when he was bitten by Tyler.
"Damon said the hunter had werewolf venom." How did werewolf venom get in Elena system?
"Oh my God" I knew what I had to do, I needed to get hold of Klaus, but if I do that he will find out that Star here and more likely he would want to kill her. What was I meant to do? Either way I could possibly lose either one of them.
Star P.O.V
After saving Damon ass I went to hunt down Connor I literally went all around town, and do you think I could actually find him? Mystic Falls isn't a big town so how could he of disappeared? So I decided to go back to his trailer he had to come back at some point. I had been waiting there for nearly six hours and he hadn't come back. I wasn't going to say no longer, I knew where to find him now so I'll deal with him tomorrow. I walked out of the trailer and got on my bike and drove back to the boarding house, I parked up and make my way into the house. I walked up the stairs and I heard that there was someone in the house, and the noise was coming from Stefan room. I began to approach the room when I heard yelling, as I walked in I saw Elena is lying in Stefan's bed, she looked incredibly ill then. I saw Stefan pacing back and forth while he was on his phone.
"Come on Klaus, where the hell are you?" Did I hear him correctly, he was call Niklaus? I thought he was dead that what they all said, they spoke of Ric staking him and he went up in flames. Stefan hangs up his phone and sits on the bed, next to Elena unknown to him that I was in the room and heard him.
"What going on Stefan, you all said that Niklaus was dead!" He looked at me a little surprised for a moment as he didn't expect me to be here, I wanted answers. How could they tell me such a thing when it was untrue, not that I had been honest with them the whole time. This was Niklaus I had no idea how he would react to knowing that I wasn't dead.
"Star he didn't die, it's a long story. Elena dying from werewolf venom, and Klaus blood is the cure." Elena began to moan in pain god she looked awful of course Stefan didn't want to lose her. "Hey" Elena smiles at him then she shuts her eyes.
"Why am I thinking about you?" Stefan looked at her confused. I felt a presence of Niklaus in the house, I hadn't had that sensation for over 500 years. I rushed into Stefan bathroom I couldn't face him not right now not after all this time and I couldn't predict how he was going to react.
"You came…" I heard Stefan say a little stunned, well I was surprised he did also considering the fact that they conspired to have Nik killed.
"I did. And for future reference, one voicemail is just as effective as nine." I heard Niklaus voice after 520 I felt my heart accelerate, was it because of fear or something else I wasn't entirely sure. "What's wrong, love?" Hearing his voice once again gave me an overwhelming feeling that brought tears to my eyes, I felt tears rolling down my cheek.
"She has werewolf venom in her system. You know you're the only one that can heal her, Klaus, please." Stefan begged him, he really did love Elena to death he would do anything for her even beg for his enemy to save her.
"And what would you have done if I were no longer here? Hm? If you and your friends had succeeded in ridding the world of me, let's play that game for a moment, shall we?" Nik had every right to feel a little smug about all this, but a young girl's life was in the balance there was no need for all this.
"Whatever you want from me…." Stefan demanded; please don't let them both get into an argument that is the last thing that is needed.
"I don't want anything from you, her, on the other hand… If you had told me a few hours ago, I wouldn't have cared a lick about her dying. But, as it turns out... You may be of use to me after all." What did he mean by that? "Yes. There we go." After a few moment I heard him leave the room, I couldn't do this any longer, I couldn't just let him walk away, and not have him know I'm here he was going to find out sooner or later. I need to face him once and for all and deal with the consequences of it all, I came out of the bathroom and Stefan walked over to me.
"Star are you ok?" I walked passed him but then he incepted me "Star I'm…." If he was going to finish that off with his sorry I wasn't interested.
"Stefan move out of my way I need to talk to Nik." I tried to get pass him and he stopped me from taking another step, why the hell was he stopping me from doing this?
"Star he might hurt you." He didn't think of that when he called him, he didn't take any of that into consideration so why bother caring now.
"You didn't think of that when you were saving her life." I pushed him out of my way and super speed out for the house. I stood on the drive to see where he was, but he had disappeared. I didn't know where to start looking for Nik, I felt someone touch my shoulder I jumped, before I turning to see Stefan standing there.
"Star I didn't have a choice, Elena was dying—" I shook my head, of course he was going to think of her first it didn't matter about me.
"You focus on Elena. I'm not your concern Stefan." I walked away from him and made my way back into the house, I can't hide from Niklaus I need to deal with whatever he going to throw at me. After hearing his voice and his presence brought everything to the surface, I can't continue my life like this anymore I needed to face my biggest demon that was him, There one thing I realised tonight is that I still held extremely strong feeling towards Niklaus which I thought were long gone.
Damon P.O.V
Well the Fire fighters and officers are inside the room where the explosion occurred the place really did look a mess, Carol and I were standing in the hallway outside of the room se didn't look happy at all. I was just happy with the fact that douche Conner was dead, okay I didn't get to find out what the hell the five were. Not that it actually mattered out hunter problem was done with and the headache along with it was gone.
"So, the sniper was inside?" I couldn't help but smile knowing that dick was dead, now that was done I could leave town. Screw Stefan and Elena needs me here I'm done with everything and I'm sure that Star will join me for the ride.
"Yep, still is. In tiny little pieces." After what he did to Star what he got was the easy way out, I was going to make him suffer but being blow up into pieces seemed like a fair deal.
"Good. I'll cancel the curfew, and call off the extra patrols. I can't say I approve of your methods." oh great she worried about a little fire damage, she should be happy that all it was it could of turned out a lot worst.
"I'll give a donation. You can name a wing after me, Mayor." I walked away into the waiting room, I needed to go and find Star and let her know that her hubby alive. I have no idea how she was going to react to it, but it's best she hears it from me than anyone else.
"See, I told you I could be a badass." I turned and there was Jeremy, he really shouldn't talk like that I grabbed him by his collar.
"Shhh, badasses don't say that, now tell me everything he told you." Jeremy got out of my grip looking a little pissed, little Gilbert have grown some balls over the years I recall I used to scare the crap out of him.
"Don't treat me like a little kid Damon." I glared at him as now wasn't the time for him to play the big man role. "Fine, he told me I'm a potential hunter, and that we work alongside unum praeditos." Hold on did he say unum praeditos? What the hell did Star have to do with this I grabbed him and pinned him against the wall.
"What the hell does unum praeditos have to do with the five" Jeremy looked worried.
"All I know is that unum praeditos is the one who going to bring down the greater evil." No this couldn't be happening; I know Star said that she meant to take down some big bad. Now it all began to make sense to me, when she saw Connor in the church she seem on edge, she freaking knew him. Oh Star and I are going to be having words I thought she didn't want keep anymore secrets.
Klaus P.O.V
Well going along with Damon had proven to be very useful; turns out the five were still in existence. I thought after what happened all those years ago when I killed all five members that was end of them. Well I was wrong because I came face to face with one, when the explosion happened I saved him, I needed to keep him alive because if everything I heard all those years ago was true then he was valuable to me. Then I had Stefan leaving me voicemail after the next demanding me to come over and save Elena as she had a little accent with werewolf venom. I knew that now having one of the five in my possession, Elena had become more valuable to me. So I went to his home and heal her which surprised him, I also reminded him if his plan had worked his girlfriend would be dead within a matter of hours.
Once I left the Salvatore home I went and got the unconscious hunter and I brought him back to his trailer. I had been waiting a little while for him to come around, but finally Connor woke up on the couch, he attempts to get up, but I pushed him back down.
"You saved me." He asked with confusion in his voice, of course I save assets that work in my favour and this hunter was my saving grace I would finally be able to continue with my plans.
"Congratulations, you just became worth more to me alive than dead." I needed him to help me to find the cure, I hadn't come across a member of the five for centuries. I knelt down next to him "Let's just say, it's made you the most well protected vampire hunter in town." He looked up at me with a smirk.
"I think you're going to have a problem there, because as soon as the unum praeditos finds out you have me, you will be dead." I couldn't help but laugh; I don't know what unum praeditos is, but I couldn't be killed that easy.
"I think I can look after myself, I'm very hard to kill." Connor sat up looking amused.
"You don't know do you?" What was he on about? I grabbed him by his throat as I wasn't one for playing games, if he thought that I would be frighten of this unum praeditos then he had another thing coming.
"I'm not in the mood for games right now." As I spoke he was trying to get out my grip, but it was a losing battle.
"Your estrange wife Star is the unum praeditos." I hadn't heard that name for 520 years, I felt a string of emotions rush through me all at once. I let go of this throat, no he had to be lying Star was dead in my arms we buried her she couldn't be alive.
"LIES! Star dead" I screamed at him, I wanted to rip him to shreds. but I couldn't I knew of the consequences.
"No I'm not. Star has lived for over a thousand years, immortal just like you. She's right here in Mystic Falls, and she good friends with your pal back there." I couldn't believe what I was hearing Star was alive and in Mystic Falls, I got up and walked out of the trailer. I had mourned of the death of Star for over 500 years I she was here. I was filled with so many emotions from rage to relief knowing my Star was alive. I could feel a tear rolling down my cheeks know that Star was alive….
