Stefan P.O.V
I knew I did the right thing last by night telling l Klaus about his hybrids were planning on taking him down, even though he deserved what he had coming to him. I couldn't allow that fate for him because of one person Star. When we were imprison in the cellar I could see the fear in her eyes knowing that they were going to bring Klaus down, she loved him and because of my love for her I had to warn him. Whether it was the right, or wrong thing to do in some people eyes, I felt that it was the right thing to do. When I got home Caroline was there she was freaking out about Tyler that he had left town because Klaus had gone on a rampage and killed all his hybrids, part of me felt guilty I couldn't tell Caroline that I was the one who told him she will never forgive me.
She had asked me if I heard any news from Damon which I thought was an odd question, then she informed me that Elena was with him down at the lake house. I was filled with many emotions right now but the one that stood out is betrayal by my brother, I wanted to know what is actually going on between Elena and Damon, but Caroline was reluctant to tell me. I had to force it out of her that's when I learnt that they had slept together before they knew about the sire bond. I felt like my heart had been ripped out hearing that. Caroline tried talking to me, but what was there to talk about? I mean Elena slept with my brother, and Damon finally got what he always wanted her.
All I have done pretty much since that night is drink and reflecting over my life everything I touch get destroyed, I loved Star and I drove her into Klaus arms because of my actions. I did the same with Elena too when I behaved liked a dick with humanity off. Of course all of this was my fault my action had brought all of this on, and now there was no way to repair it all. My phone began to ring and I looked at the screen and it was Caroline I answered.
"Hey, you just missed the mandatory school assembly." Carol Lockwood drown, I wonder who did that to her because it weren't no accident.
"Well, that's because I'm at a mandatory all day drinking party." I told her smugly down the phone I should be allowed to dwell after everything that had happened.
"Seriously? You decided to go on a ripper bender now?" Caroline shouted down the phone, I didn't need her judgement right now, I found out my brother slept with the girl I'm in love with.
"My brother slept with Elena. It kinda puts a damper on things." I picked up my glass and drained my drink, every time I thought of the both of them together all that rage came to the surface.
"First of all, you weren't supposed to know that, and second of all, Tyler is already spiralling, and he gets top priority." Well that what she was meant to do be there for him, his mom just died she need his loyal girlfriend.
"His mother just died. What do you expect?" I poured myself another large glass of bourbon, I think these are going to keep me going all day.
"I'm his girlfriend. I expect him to talk to me. Instead, he's all angry, and it doesn't help that everyone keeps referring to his mother's death as an accident which is just a really polite way in saying she was drunk," I knew it weren't not accident the way Klaus walked away from me that night he was out to murder.
"You think Klaus killed her?" I questioned her, I heard Caroline sigh.
"Hmm, I don't think she drowned in her martini glass. Just, get it together. I can't do it alone." Caroline hangs up. Get it together? I don't think it going to be that easy for me to do that, but I guess I need to be there for Caroline as she been here for me so much. I need to put Elena and Star at the back of my mind and try to control myself from going down to the lake house and staking Damon.
Damon P.O.V
Last night when Star turned up she was in a real state, I tried talking to her but all she did was cry. I don't know what the hell had happened to make her this upset, but I'm going to kill whoever did this to her that was for sure. After a few hours of calming her down Star sat in the kitchen in silence, she didn't say a word, I kept asking her questions but she didn't reply she sat there looking into space. Eventually Jeremy came down and he asked what had happened to her. I wish I knew, but Star weren't saying a word to either of us. I went into the living room and poured us both a drink, I walked into the kitchen and Star was staring out of the window. I walked over to her and handed her the glass.
"It will help you with your nerves." She took the glass from me, and drained it. "Star what has happened?" She turned me and I notice a mark under her eye. "What's that?" I went to move her hair from her face, to see purple blemish along her cheek bone.
"Damon…" She stepped away from me, how the hell did Star have a bruise of her face when she meant to heal?
"Who hit you?" I tried to keep my voice under control, but it was proven hard as Star looked at me with fear in her eyes.
"The hybrids turned on Nik and I-I went to help—" She paused for a moment I could that her face was filled with so many emotions. "—I've never seen Nik like that before i-i-it was like he was a madman, I-I tr-tried—" Tears began to flow down her cheeks, and I went over to comfort her. What the hell did Klaus do to her? "Da-Damon I-I-I tried to stop him bu-but he went crazy, he-he hit me. I can't believe he hit me." She cried into my chest, I swear right now I want to get that white oak stake and drive it through his heart. "I never wanted to see him for what he is Damon… but I have, I'm in love with a monster." She broke down even more, she really did love him I could see that with the way she broken down like this. I scooped her up in my arms and brought her to the guest room and placed her on the bed while I held her in my arms. I hated to see her like this but maybe she had finally come to realise that Klaus isn't the man she thought he was.
We had been at the lake house for a couple of days and Star seem a little better, the bruise she had faded away. It was a little odd that she weren't healing as quickly as she used to. She had been helping Jeremy train, and I was pretty impressed with Star fighting skills, she had Jeremy on the floor more time than I could count. She wanted him to be prepared for what he had to do, and she didn't want us to rush it either. I don't know why she didn't want that maybe because she knew when Jeremy marks will be all reviled that it would be her time to go. I kept trying to put that in the back of my mind I didn't want to think about my life without Star being in it.
Last night Star and I had a talk about this Elena situation, I had told her that I had chosen to walk away from Elena, and that I wanted to focus on Stefan and I getting back on track. She seems proud about my decision and part of me was too. Star ad cooked breakfast for Jeremy and Matt who came up here to help Jeremy with his training, I thought Star was doing a good job personally, but I could tell Jeremy was holding back with her maybe he thought he would hurt her. They were all sitting round the table eating while I walked out on the lake, I had miss call after miss call from Elena and voicemail too. I couldn't talk to her I had made my choice now, but part of me wanted to know what she wanted to be calling me so much. I walked away from the house and began to listen to my voice mail.
"Hey, it's me. Look, I know why you sent me away. You think what I'm feeling for you is because of the sire bond. But I hate not being near you. And I—"I had to stop listening to that it not helping me right now, I walked towards Jeremy and Matt I watch as Jeremy flips Matt over .
"Okay I get it, I get it. You're a badass." Matt says getting up from the floor, Jeremy really needed to step up his game, and he needed to be hell of a lot faster than that to take down a vampire.
"Did you see that?" Jeremy asked turning to me, I began to approach him.
"You couldn't miss it. It was in slow motion." I notice Star walking over to us; she looked a bit more like herself now, maybe being here helped her with her Klaus drama.
"Then, teach me something useful. We've been here for days, I've trained with Star, and all you've done is bark orders." I looked at him he wanted to learn something new.
"Okay." I grabbed the stake that was on the table, he threw it to Jeremy. "Take a seat at the bench, quarterback. Kid wants a shot at the title." Matt looked concerned while Star stood there a little stunned by what I was about to do.
"Jeremy, you're not ready for this." She called out to him as Jeremy runs towards me, I grabbed Jeremy by the arm and grabs his neck.
"Now, all I have to do is apply a little pressure in your jaw." Star ripped Jeremy out of my arms and stood in front of me glaring, she wasn't happy about my little demonstration.
"What are you doing Damon?" She yelled as Jeremy was coughing on the floor. "Don't push him, his not ready yet, I'm not having him going into all of this not prepared." Star was frighten of the fact that Jeremy will have to take down Silas, she wanted him to be focus and ready for it. Then I heard a car pull up it was the pizza delivery girl that we had last couple of days.
"Really? Again?" Star turned around and the girl approached us smiling.
"Double pepperoni three days in a row. You guys eat anything else?" I came up from behind her.
"Why? Are you offering?" I took the pizza and gave her money. "That's something extra to cut off the pizza pipeline for a couple a days. No matter how much they beg, don't come back." She smiles and starts to leaves.
"Sorry, guys." I put the boxes down on the table. We didn't come here to eat junk, the only reason we were here is to get the Xbox goof hunter up.
"What? You're going to starve us now?" Jeremy spoke with disbelief; well he needed to get his head in the game.
"If that's what it takes to make you into a hunter. Now, run around the lake...twice." He glared at me and I looked over at Matt "Keep him company." Matt walked over to me.
"I don't have to listen to you." Matt had gotten a little brave these days, or I'm getting too soft.
"You do if you want to eat." Matt takes one final glare before running off, Star approaches me looking disappointed.
"What got you like this?" I hated when she knew something was up with me, I couldn't tell her that Elena messages were driving me insane she would end up going to Mystic Falls kicking the crap out of her.
"Nothing I just need to be harder on them." I walked away from her once I was out of sight I began to listen to the end of the voice message from Elena.
"Being near you, and I miss you, Damon. I wish you would just let me come to you." Elena torturing me with your voicemail, I can't go back on what I said I would do my family more important I need to remember that.
Stefan P.O.V
After the conversation with I felt a little bad that I didn't turn up and be there for her. I know I may feel like my world was crumbling around me, but I can't forget about my friends. I was about to leave the grill and my phone began to ring I looked at my phone and it says Unknown Caller.
"What!?" I shouted down the phone I weren't in the mood.
"Guess who? I'm back dagger free, and I'm holding Elena hostage at the high school. Just thought you should know." who would be that stupid to de-dagger her?
"Who the hell is dumb enough to pull that dagger out of you?" I took a large gulp of my drink I weren't in the mood for Rebekah either right now, but she had Elena could I really leave her with Rebekah.
"I'll be asking the questions today. See you soon." Rebekah hangs up, I drank what's left of my drink and called Caroline.
"I'm only ready to talk to you if you ready to join civilization." I think I may be ready for that right now, as mad as I am about Elena sleeping with Damon, I wasn't going to let Rebekah take out her frustration on her.
"How would you like to drive the white oak stake through Rebekah's heart?" I'm sick of these freaking original thinking they could do what they wanted.
"If it means that you're not drinking your way at the Mystic Grill, sure." At least I had Caroline on side now I might as well focus my anger on Rebekah. I got in the car and drove down the high school, I parked up and got out of the car, I had no idea where to start looking. I saw Caroline and we decided to take a floor each to try and find her. I was walking down the hallway when I had a message come through on my phone.
Caroline: 2nd floor clear...
I was walking along another hallway I looked in a classroom; I heard a noise and looks towards the end of the hallway and texts Caroline.
Stefan: 1st floor. I distract her. You stake her.
"Hello, Stefan." I heard Rebekah say as I puts my phone in my pocket, she stood there with this smirk on her face, I'm guessing she's still pissed that I got her daggered.
"I'm here what do you want?" I asked as she began to approach me slowly with a smile.
"The same thing I wanted when you helped Niklaus dagger me." She was definitely still pissed about that, but why would Rebekah be interested in the cure.
"The cure?" Rebekah pushes me against the lockers, I grabbed her turning her against the lockers.
"I hope you're not waiting for Caroline to show up, and stake me." Shows me the stake. "Because I already found her." Rebekah grabbed hold of me, and compelled me to obey her, as much as I wanted to fight it I couldn't. She dragged me down the hallway and then into the library where Elena and Caroline were sitting at a table.
"Stefan..." Elena gets up looking surprise to see me, but I couldn't even look at her right now.
"Did I say you could move?" Rebekah demanded and Elena sat back down. "Class is in session. You've all been compelled; you know the rules. Answer my questions honestly, no disobedience, no one leaves. April, my sweet, take notes. This is how you get answers in this town. Let's start with a little quiz. In the year 1114, my brother learnt, thanks to yours truly, about a brotherhood of vampire hunters with tattoos that grew with each kill. Theses tattoos revealed what, Elena?" Elena looked up at her.
"A map." She stated flatly, what was Rebekah going to achieve by having us all here? None of us had any valid information or knew where the cure was.
"Which led to what, Caroline?" Caroline turned to her not looking amused by all of this, but Rebekah seemed to be enjoying herself.
"The cure for vampirism." Caroline glanced over to me, I wanted to get the hell out of here. I couldn't be around Elena not after everything I couldn't look at her in the same way.
"Perfect, so were all caught up. Stefan Salvatore, the last time we saw each other, you had a vampire hunter, but in order to decode the map, you needed the location of the hunter's sword, which you got out of me using some very dirty tricks. Assuming you found the sword, you also found the cure, and yet, you're all still vampires which means something went wrong." A hell of a lot had gone wrong since Rebekah was put down, Rebekah looking at April who was writing something down. "What are you doing?" April looked up at her innocently.
"Oh, you asked me to take notes." God what had she done to this poor girl.
"I wasn't being literal darling. But now that you mention... uh, a flow chart would be nice, which means index cards and push pins. Go fetch." April leaves the room obeying Rebekah orders, I had had enough of all of this now.
"You're wasting your time. We don't know anything." Rebekah looked at me a little intrigue.
"So you just gave up? I thought you would do anything to save Elena? Even if it meant taking the cure yourself, so you can grow old and die with her?" I felt my heart sink when she spoke the words I once told her when I thought my life was going to be perfect. Elena was looking at me with a surprise look on her face. "Why do you look so surprised?" Rebekah questioned looking at Elena, but no one answered. Right now I wanted to die I didn't want to be here at all. "I'm missing something. What is it?" Rebekah weren't going to give up until she knew.
"We broke up, okay?!" I burtled out in frustration, Rebekah smiles "Now let us go." I demanded Rebekah couldn't help but smirk at me, this was like music to her ears.
"Broke up? Wait, I'm confused. I thought Elena was your epic love, Stefan?" Rebekah sits down in April's chair and she looks at me. "I asked you what happened. You have to tell me." I kept on trying to fright it but I couldn't.
"She slept with Damon." I let the words pass my lips I finally said it out loud, and now Elena knew I knew about it all. Elena looks at me with surprised and then she looks at Caroline. She knew the only way I would have found out is through her, I don't know if Elena would have ever told me. Or was it going to be her and Damon going to keep it as a dirty secret.
Star P.O.V
After see the demonic side to Niklaus I had to run as fast as I could, I had never seen him like that it was like I had finally seen what everyone spoke of. Thought I was able to talk to him, to make him see sense of what he was doing, but when he looked at me I wasn't seeing the man I loved looking directly at me it was the face of the devil. He struck me that is the part to all of this I couldn't wrap around my mind, he has threaten me, warned me not to push him…. But not once has he ever hurt me not in this way. I just kept running my speed kept coming and going but I got was far as possible from Mystic Falls, I had no idea where I was going I just wanted to be as far from Niklaus as possible. I stopped in middle of some woods to catch my breath I felt tired and weak, my cheek was throbbing I reach up to touch it and it felt hot and there was swelling. I thought it would have heal by now, what was happening to me right now? It's like everything that makes me who I am is fading.
All I knew right now is I needed a safe place to go to, Stefan spoke of the cabin that Damon was staying in to train Jeremy. I began to wreck my brain where Stefan told me where it was, I kept shaking I couldn't think straight then it hit me. I used my super speed to get there stopping and starting every mile or so, I wasn't allowing my tiredness to stop me I kept pushing myself until I arrived. I began to bang down the door, after what felt like a lifetime Damon opened the door he was obviously surprised to see me, I pushed by and slammed the door behind me. Damon stood there staring at me in fear, as the reality hit me I was in love with a monster, in that moment I broken down even more unable to speak my body shook as my legs gave way. Damon tried to comfort me with his kind words, but it didn't take the pain away of everything I had seen. My fears were that those hybrid were going to hurt Nik, but when all along I should feared for their lives, this was all down to that bitch Hayley.
Damon wasn't going to give up especially when he saw the mark on my face, so I was forced to tell him what had happened, it was difficult for me to admit to him everything he told me all along. He was furious with what he heard, but there was something that I was concerned about a lot more that was that my abilities were on the fritz. I didn't share this news with Damon as he was trying to deal with what Nik had done to me, he spoke of many ways he would love to make him pay for hurt me. When morning came Damon kept asking me if I was okay, I knew I had to be strong that I couldn't allow what happened to affect my focus. When I thought about what happened as much as it pained me to admit it was a blessing in disguise, with my time being here coming to an end I had no reason to feel guilt towards Nik.
To keep my mind occupied I help with Jeremy training, he was still slow but his reflexes were a little faster than a human, I didn't want to push him I had learnt in doing that it drives hunters insane. The bruise from where Niklaus had struck me took days to fade away, I've never been marked for this long before, not since I embraced my powers. I have no idea what's going on with me, but I needed to find out what going on I couldn't be like this when we are getting closer to finding Silas. There was only one person who could help me with that. I made my way down stairs and I notice the boys were training while Damon watched, he really wasn't helping with Jeremy at all. I got out my phone and dialled Luca number, it kept ringing and finally he answered.
"Hey Luca." I had to try and sound semi happy or he will question me, if Luca knew of everything that was going on here he would flip. Even more so if he learnt that I had reconnected with Nik, he always said that Nik was bad news like everyone else, I guess I was blind to it all.
"Mia Bella Stella, have you been avoiding me? I thought you would have returned back home." Typical Luca reeling off question after question.
"I'm in Mystic Falls….. Luca I need to talk to you about a few things." The one place that he didn't want me to return to, but he couldn't hold me back from what I felt I needed to do. I was worried about telling him everything that had happened, but he was so clued up on this stuff that he might be able to tell me what's going on.
So I gave him the rundown of everything that had happened since I came here, I broke the news about Connor being killed by Elena and that a new hunter has taken over. Luca used a few choice swear words about that, he really weren't happy about me being around all of this. I began to tell him about the humans that were massacred at the Young farm. That Niklaus was now a hybrid which Luca wasn't surprised about, had his hybrids turn on him which lead Nik to murder them all. As soon as I mention that Luca was adamant for me to return back to Italy.
"Star, you going to send me to an early grave." As he spoke I began to walk out on the lake, I didn't Damon to hear in on the conversation.
"There something else… I'm losing control of my powers—" Before I could explain what was going on with me Luca cuts me off.
"The wheels are emotion Star, someone out there is preparing for Silas to rise and it messing with your powers." So on top of everything else I had to deal with Silas followers who want him to cause havoc on hit earth, just great! "You're in the middle of all it Star, the two mascaras you spoke of it sounds like expression magic to me. They are drawing your powers that why you had weaken." I knew about expression, damn I used to use it when I was Alana it wasn't good magic to mess with. "I want you back on the first flight home." That was something I know I couldn't do too much was going on here.
"Luca line re-really—" I hung up on him, I know he out to protect me but I couldn't walk away from all this, I'll have to figure out on my own who the hell using expression and once I find them I'm going to deal with them the only way I can.
I went out and check on the guys, of course Damon was being a bit of a dick to Jeremy and Matt; I mean there had been improvements in him it wasn't going to happen overnight. Damon looked like he had a lot more on his mind, I got it out of him what it was, and out he decided to not pursue anything with Elena. I didn't really know what to really say to him about it, because I knew whatever I would say would be negative. I began to help Jeremy with his training and his little butt on more on the floor than anything else, but I can't push him it will all come to him naturally soon. Following day I woke up same thing the guys were training, and Damon was being a dick towards them, I really need for him to stop behaving like this with them it wasn't helping. After a few words with him he made both boys run around the lake, it all seemed to be getting too much for him he said something about be hard work and he walked off.
He thought it was hard… well he needs to walk a day in my shoes and see how hard everything is. I walked over to the bench and sat down then I opened a pizza box and took a slice, it looks like it going to be a fun day ahead. After a while Jeremy and Matt had come back not long after Damon had come from where he disappeared to, he probably went to feed. Jeremy was putting wooden bullets in a gun as requested by Damon, he hands the gun to Damon.
"Good." Damon empties the wooden bullets out onto the table. "Now, do it like your life depends on it, which it does." I jumped off the table began to approach Damon, who was being a right dick now, his attitude to all this sunk.
"Hey what your problem?" I yelled at him, he turned to me clenching his jaw; I don't think Mr Salvatore like my tone but I didn't give a damn. "Don't act like you care about my Jeremy life. You only care about the hunter's mark, and curing Elena so she isn't sired to your ass." Damon clearly didn't like what I was telling him, but I was stating fact. Jeremy wasn't ready to pushed, some hunter have years of training before they take down the next after their first kill.
"Both require him to be alive. Which is why I updated our relationship status to 'it's complicated.'" He snapped at me before turning to Jeremy. "Have you talked to her at all? Elena?" Damon glanced at me then back at Jeremy, why was he concerned about Elena? This had nothing to do with her this was about Jeremy taking down Silas, Damon knew that.
"Maybe. Why? Running out of voice mails to listen to?" I looked at Damon and he had a totally guilty look on his face, he hadn't let go like he stated he has, his going to be fool till the bitter end.
"I'm sorry. Did I interrupt play time?" I turned around to see Nik appeared from the woods, Damon stood in front of me protectively even thought we were just at each other's throat.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Jeremy demanded oh boy I didn't need him to be all big and brave right now with Nik, he wasn't that well trained to take down a vampire let alone an Original hybrid.
"I'm simply appreciating the sights and smells of nature, neither of which presently include the smell of rotting vampire flesh, so I'm a bit concerned. How many vampires has he killed?" I'm not having Nik coming here barking order, I push Damon to aside, once Nik eyes met with mind they were filled with guilt, he needed to feel like that after what he did to me.
"If we throw Jeremy out in the real world right now, he won't survive. So why don't you—" While the words came out of my mouth I felt my heart wanting to jump out of my chest, Nik looked at me with sorrow in his eyes then shifted to anger.
"Yeah, see that's not a number. Twelve! That's a number. That's how many of my hybrids I slaughtered with my sword." I witness all of that with my own eyes and it still haunts me, he looked away from me and looked directly at Damon. "Three. That's how many days it took to quill the urge to kill the people you care about. One. That's the number of purposes you serve. You are here to grow Jeremy's mark so I'll ask again, how many vampires has he killed since he's been here?" He still spoke directly to Damon forgetting that I was the one who had challenged him. Right now I felt like I had been wearing rose tinted glasses this whole time, how could I possibly been blind to all this?
"Zero" Damon replied and Nik smirks.
"That's a pity. I'm going to need that cure sooner rather than later. Hybrid shortage and all. How can I help?" That all it was to him that he got his precious blood so he could build his army, if he didn't slaughter the lot of them then he wouldn't be in such a rush.
"You're a dick!" I shouted at him he looked at me a little hurt from the comment, but then Damon picks up the gun.
"You know, now that you mention it... Jeremy, watch and learn." He shoots Nik with wooden bullets, I screamed as stumble back. "That's for Star, and Carol Lockwood." Damon threw the gun on the table and walked away, I looked at Nik as he was pull out the bullet from his chest. I couldn't stand to be around him I walked away. I hadn't taken my second step and he appeared in front of me which surprised me. I began to step away from him and he raised his hands so his palms were facing me in surrender.
"Star I'm not going to hurt you—" He spoke calmly while I kept taking steps away from him, I didn't trust him not after the way he lost it. "—please you don't need to be frighten on me." He began to walk towards me. "My fury took over me, I did not mean…. I did not mean to hurt you Star. You are the last person I'll ever wanted to hurt." He touched my cheek as soon as he did I began shaking like leaf, he moved it away instantly. "You're scared of me?" I felt like had lost my voice, two minutes ago I stood up to him and now I'm shaking like a leaf.
"I can't deal with this." I walked away from him praying that he wouldn't follow me, when I looked at Nik now I couldn't see pass the way he acted that night. That all good I once saw in him had faded away, I don't know if I can ever looked at him in the same way again.
Klaus P.O.V
After what happened in the Lockwood cellar where I accidently hit Star I felt guilt and on top of that more rage. This was because of one person Tyler Lockwood I killed all my hybrids, and I hurt the one person who I vowed never hurt. I still had the image of her face when I turned to look at her, Star looked frighten to death, before I could even speak she super sped off. I tried to go after her but Star was far too fast for me, I went looking for her in the town square, but instead I found the mother of the man, who had ruined everything for me. In that moment I had great pleasure in taking her life, having her fight for her life and dying in my hands gave me satisfaction knowing I took something precious from him as he had done to me. When I walked away all I felt was emptiness within me, I had lost everything tonight most importantly I may have lost Star. I looked for her everywhere until the early morning, but I couldn't find her anywhere she was gone I don't think she will be coming back not after what I had done to her. In that moment I felt my world crashing down
After a few day keeping my temper under control to not kill anyone, I had made my way to the Gilbert lake house, I knew Damon was there training Jeremy. I needed him to get a move on, I needed to focus on something that weren't related to Star. I needed to make Elena mortal more than ever so I can rebuild my hybrid army once again. Well when I arrived I didn't expect to see Star here, I felt absolutely speechless when I saw her, of course I couldn't show that to them. She appeared to be a little frightens at first, but she spoke up telling me we can't rush Jeremy. Of course Star would be protective of Jeremy that was the purpose to the unum praeditos. After what happened to Connor I think she maybe that little more over protective over him, so after my outburst I wanted to speak to her. I wanted to does is apologies to her for my actions, but of course I didn't do that, I continued on like the heartless monster, demanding that Jeremy needed to start killing vampires which didn't go down to well with Damon. He shot me various time telling me that was for Star and Carol Lockwood.
I tried to talk with Star but she kept backing away from me with fear in her eyes, I had really frighten her that much, I didn't want her to fear me. What I did was an accident, and I tried to explain that to her , and when I touched her she was shaking. I couldn't believe I had terrorize that much, she couldn't even looked at me all she told me is that she couldn't deal with this right now. The evil shellfish hybrid can't ever get anything right, now I'm back to where I was before lonely. The one thing I had right in my life was her, I don't know if Star will ever forgive me for my actions. For over 500 years all I ever wanted was for her to return back to me, now it feels like the time I had with her was only just a dream. I walked away and I saw Damon sitting by the table, I needed to be focus right now, I needed to think of how we going to a lot quicker. I approached Damon he was sharpening bullets
"If you're here for pay back, go for it. Then, you would be stuck babysitting the little hunter that could." To be honest I deserve getting shot by him especially for what I did to Star I have no regrets in killing Carol Lockwood.
"You know if you adjust your angle a little bit, you'll find a shaper edge." I spoke as I took a seat Damon looks at me not amused, of course he hated me more than ever because of my actions.
"I know how to widdle. Thanks. Now, I know why those hybrids hated you. You are annoying and how the hell did Star put up with you?" He really hit a nerve there bring up Star, but the look on Damon face he wanted a reaction from me I wasn't going to bite the bait.
"Actually I could say the same about you." Damon rolled his and continued widdling. "I'm just perplexed as to why Jeremy hasn't killed any vampires." He looked up arching his brow. Why was they holding him back he was a vampire hunter, a member of the five and the only way that map is going to appear if he starts killing bloody vampires.
"Dawrinism, Klaus. He needs to know how to protect himself before we hunt down his first vampire nest." Well what had happened to Damon Salvatore to become all well behaved, the man always spoke of being the fun one out of the two brothers seems his turned into a real bore.
"And here was I thinking you were the fun brother! Let's play a little game, shall we? Jeremy needs more victims, and there's a whole town just down the road with people waiting to be turned into vampires for the slaughter." Unknown to Damon I had a plan in motion already, only problem is that I wasn't aware that Star was here which would mean what I had done is going to make matters a lot worse between us.
"You don't think that occurred to me Klaus?" I think Damon needs a wakeup call.
"Tragedy is Damon it did occur to you; you just choose to ignore it. My guess it you did it to impress Elena somehow to honour her you will find a way to spare innocent lives and walk Jeremy down the moral high road." Damon smiles. "That's why I already made the necessary corrections." The smile falls from Damon face, and looks at me with a worried look.
"What did you do?" I did the one thing to get the ball rolling so our hunter can be on his merry way on getting us the map to the cure, that all that was important to me now nothing else.
Stefan P.O.V
Rebekah wanted the juicy gossip about why would Elena sleep with Damon, and of course I was compelled to tell the truth I had told her that Elena is sired to Damon that. Of course Rebekah found all amusing she hated Elena from the very moment she met her, she hated the fact that I was in love with her as me, not the crazy Ripper. Talking about this all was driving me insane, of course Elena was devastated that I had learnt about her and Damon. I wonder if my brother was going to share the same amount of compassion, of course he wouldn't if he did he wouldn't even slept with Elena knowing that she was sired to him. That's Damon for you, he sneaky and wanted things his own way, it didn't matter who he hurt, as long as he got what he wanted. Kol had made an appearance they spoke about bring someone here, then Rebekah walks out of the room leaving with Kol. None of us spoke a word to each other. What could be said after all of that? So after a long awkward silence Rebekah walks back to the library looking a little flustered.
"Still glued to your seats? Ahh, it's thick with tension in here. Let's spice things up a bit. Elena, truth or dare?" I was getting sick of Rebekah games now, I didn't want to sit through all this but unfortunately for me I'm compelled to be here.
"We're done playing your stupid games, Rebekah." She glanced over at me before turning back at Elena. She wasn't going to back down, this was like a thousand Christmas at once for her knowing that she tormenting me for what I did to her.
"Truth or Dare, Elena. You're compelled answer." Elena looked up at her she looked a little nervous, either one she picked it was going to be related to this situation between her and my brother.
"Dare." Elena tell her bluntly, Rebekah began to smile with glee.
"I dare you to tell Stefan the truth about Damon." Great like I wanted to hear any more of this, my heart been torn out once already now Rebekah wanted to stamp all over it.
"Seriously!?" Caroline yelled, Rebekah looks at Elena intensely waiting for her to reply, even if Elena didn't wanted to the compulsion placed upon us would force her to do what she asked.
"Being with Damon makes me happy." So that's it didn't I make her happy anymore? Ever since she turned into a vampire everything I did was to make her happy, I knew how much she didn't want this life. I even teams up with the man I loathed more than anything to get the cure for her so she could have all the things she wanted.
"Makes you happy? Clowns make you happy, Elena. Dig a little deeper." Rebekah was determined to get more out of her than just that.
"When I'm with him it feels unpredictable, like I'm free." I sat there feeling every emotion run through me, hearing her talking about Damon being her saviour just made me hate him even more.
"And how do you feel when you're with Stefan?" I looked up as I didn't expect her to even ask that question, Rebekah stood there smirking loving every moment of this.
"Stop!" Caroline demanded.
"She can't she's compelled!" I didn't want to hear this I wanted to move but I couldn't because of the compulsion.
"Lately I feel like I'm a project, like I'm a problem that needs to be fixed. I think that I make him sad and I can't be with someone like that, because when he looks at me all he sees is a broken toy." That's how Elena felt about me? I didn't look at her like that I love Elena, and I know her being a vampire isn't what she ever wanted I was doing everything in my power to make sure she didn't live this life anymore.
"Do you still love Stefan?" Rebekah questioned her, I looked up at Elena.
"Yes" Elena answer confident.
"Are you still in love with Stefan?" Rebekah was really trying to stick a knife in my heart.
"No." Elena looked like she wanted to cry, Rebekah turns to me still with that smirk on her face. Hearing that Elena wasn't in love with me no long was like having a stake driven through my heart.
"Did that hurt? Having someone you love drive a dagger through your heart?" She asked as walked over before crouch in front of me making sure that she would witness the hurt in my face.
"Go to hell!" She kept looking at me searching for some reaction, I didn't know what else she wanted from me.
"There something else… it not just the fact your beloved Elena slept with your brother, there something that cutting you deeper." I looked away from her, but she grabbed my face and forced me to face her. "Tell me!" She demanded. I was trying to fight the compulsion as I knew if I told her it would mean my past with Star would come out in the open, if Rebekah knew she would tell Klaus who will end up murdering me.
"Star…" Her name came out no matter how much I tried to fight the compulsion, as soon as it did I could see Rebekah frowning.
"Star as in Nik wife? Why would you possibly feel hurt from her?" Rebekah spoke with confusion in her voice, I was trying to stop myself from talking but the compulsion was far too strong.
"I was in love with Star in 1860's. She first woman I ever loved, I wanted to spend my life with her—" Rebekah looked taken back with what she was hearing. "Now I see the two women I've ever been in love with are in the arms of other men." I looked away from her seeing a glimpse of Elena face she was surprised to hear about the past I had with Star, of course no one knew about Star and I only Caroline and Damon.
"Dose. That. Hurt?" Rebekah demanded, I looked up at her to see her glaring, I wanted to say no it doesn't hurt, I didn't deserve all this pain and suffering.
"Yes." The truth came out instead, and it hurt more than anything.
"Welcome to the last 900 years of my life." I looked at Rebekah, Tyler busted through the door
Rebekah had compelled Tyler to turn on us she had gotten all the information she needed. Tyler slams into the bookshelf, causing many books to fall. He breathes heavily and falls to the floor as he crawls over to a table and pulls himself up him grunts as his bones break. I had to get Elena and Caroline out of there before Tyler did something he would regret, all three of us ran into the hallway, and I closed the door but Tyler's screams can be heard. Caroline went off in one direction while Elena and I went in another. We could hear Tyler going after us Elena and I closed a door, trying to get away from Tyler. I got hold of a fire axe and stuck it in the door handles. Tyler's growls can be heard as he rams into the door, which dented and slightly opening; we were both struggle to keep it closed. Elena rips off a locker door and sticks it through the door handles, we stepped away from the door and stare at each other for moment before charge at the door, banging it shut. It becomes quiet as Tyler left.
We had walked into one of the classroom and Bonnie and April young was in there apparently Bonnie performed a spell to keep Professor Shane alive, but in the process she was killing April. Bonnie was freaking out that she may have killed April, I went over and fed her my blood she began to get colour in her face. I told Bonnie to leave and to be careful of Tyler. Elena had been trying to talk to me about what happened back in the library, there was nothing to talk about she had made it clear to me that she wasn't in love with me anymore. Then he tried to bring about the whole I was in love with Star, I sense jealously in her voice when she spoke, I don't know why because nothing would ever happen with Star. I couldn't be around Elena and all of her questions I went towards the door and then the door opens and Rebekah strides in.
"Why are my least favourite people always the most durable?" Rebekah had a grudge against me, none of this had anything to do with Elena.
"Leave her out of this, this is between me and you." Rebekah began to approach me not looking pleased with what I had just said.
"You're still protecting her. Must I rip your bleeding heart from your chest and show you the scar tissue that is Elena Gilbert?" Rebekah walks over to Elena. "There's a solution to all your problems, you know. I could compel him. Erase every memory he has of you, every day you spent together, every kiss, every lie, every ounce of pain...I could take away every bit of love he has for you. Give you both a clean slate. Just say the word and I'll make you and all that misery you caused him disappear." As Rebekah spoke them words I wanted her to do it, I didn't want to feel any of this, I didn't want any memory of Elena I wanted it all eased from my mind.
"Do it." I said turning to her Elena looked shocked by my willingness of wanting to ease her out of my mind, while Rebekah turns to face me just as surprised.
"Excuse me?" She seems stunned by my request, but having this option, having the chance to continue my life erasing everything about Elena.
"Erase it all, every memory." Rebekah looked at me with caution, I wanted her to remove it all so I didn't feel this pain anymore.
"Stefan? No!" Elena cried out, I didn't care what she wanted I couldn't live like this anymore.
"I said 'do it.'" Rebekah began to laugh.
"No. It'd be far too easy. I refuse to make you forget her the way Klaus made you forget me." She turns to Elena. "But at least you know how he really feels." She turned back to me. "Consider your eternity of pain my revenge, Stefan. I've used you for all you're worth, so now, you're free to go." Rebekah leaves, and Elena is clearly upset I couldn't be dealing with her right now, I started to leave as well.
"Stefan, wait." Elena called out I ignored her and walks through the hallway I couldn't let her do this to me anymore. How many more ways can Elena rip out my heart, I have to somehow deal with this and move on so that means walking away.
I got home and right now I felt on edge more like I wanted to rip someone apart, I literally wanted to tear someone throat out. It was like a vexing of the soul, it was twisted and distorted but it was something strong. It burned so bad like fire lacing my veins and creeping up my spine, my skin was a sore looking red but all I could feel was desire; desire to hate. I was intoxicated with emotion I had no intention of ever feeling, the acidity of it was residing in my stomach waiting to be spat out. I needed to get this anger out I started to smash Damon collection of bourbon, then I moved to the book shelf and tear the books off.
"Stefan what wrong?" I heard Star voice, I turned around and she stood there with widen eyes as she looked at the destruction I had caused. "Stefan what's happened?" She began to approach me I couldn't even look at her, she grabbed my face so I was looking at her. What with the girls I love tormenting me. "Please, tell me what's happened?" She looked at me in the same loving way as she always did back in 1863.
"Star I'm not good person to be around right now." I warned her, I was unpredictable right now, I wanted to rip out someone artery, and feed until there no life in them.
"Well I'm not going anywhere." She spoke softly my eyes adverted to her lips all I wanted to do is kiss her, I leant in slowly and kissed her lips. In that moment they felt the same from 1860 soft and delicate. In that moment all the anger the rage the hatred I felt moments ago just faded away….
