Star P.O.V
I watched as Nik walked away from me, and every part of me wanted to run after him and tell him we could work through this. Could I really do that? Could I really stand by him while a one night stand carries his child? No matter how much I love Niklaus I need to let him go, he has the one thing coming into his live that I could never possibly give to him, a child of his own. A little person that he will love and cherish till his dying breath. I just felt like an emotional mess right now, every part of me ached for him, and I knew I could turn it all off once again, but the cold hard truth is that it wouldn't change anything. That turning everything off wouldn't achieve anything because one day I would have to turn it all back on, and I'll be back to square one. I told myself a very long time ago that I didn't want to be that person who kept running from her problems, and here I am doing it again, I'm going to try and come to terms with all of this somehow I know I can be strong enough to do this. That saying you don't know what you've got till it gone is so true, I always knew I loved Niklaus the kind of love I had for him was a crazy kind of love. The type of love that you feel like every part of you want to explode the excitement, he made me feel alive like I had a purpose in my life that made me love him even more. But with that kind of love there downfalls like the temper, secretes, the double lives, did I ever really know the real Niklaus Mikaelson? That's the big question.
I'm in the middle of New Orleans not knowing what I want to do, so many things are running through my mind at once, part of me regret coming to the states. If I had listen to Luca and stayed in San Salvatore I would be none the wiser about all this, I wouldn't of cause problems for Stefan who I've left confused with my actions. They say you can't be in love with two people, but that been proven wrong, I was in love with Nik and Stefan I feel like I've ruined everything for the both of them because of my return. Maybe that the best thing for me right now to leave, and return back to Italy and I'm hoping that Luca will accept me with me being a vampire and all. That what I needed to do, I needed to leave all of this mess behind walk away while I can, they only person who will be difficult to walk away from was Damon. I know he will take it hard, but I've done the same to him too I hadn't made things easy for him either, I tortured the woman he loves Elena and I'm guessing right now he hates my guts. Turning your emotions off just caused more problems, and I need to go back and tell him goodbye, I have to walk away and let the Salvatore's live their lives without me in it.
I used my super speed to leave New Orleans the further I went away more it pained me, I couldn't stop crying my face was stained with the tears that wouldn't stop. When I reached Mystic Falls I went to the boarding house I approached the drive away and saw Damon car, I hesitated could I really say bye to him and walk out of him life once again. Damon has been through so much in his life, and as he told me a hundred time that I'm the only person who ever truly understand him. So can I pick up my things and abandon him once again? Why does all this have to be so hard? Staying here in Mystic Falls it not good for me, but then the only person I consider as my family I'm planning on walking away from. I backed away from the house I need to think long and hard about all of this before I make some crazy and dramatic decision. I left and made my way to the one place that I would always go to when I felt like the weight of the world on my should.
I arrived at the Lockwood Lake and sat down on the bench while I looked at the water, I still felt broken from letting Niklaus walk away from me. I know if I would have told him I wanted to be with him, he would have given up knowing his child to not hurt my feeling, but why should I be shellfish and let a child grow up without a father. I've been through that myself with both of my parents murdered. I didn't know what to think about all of that anymore, and my head already far too confused already to even press on that matter. I know the best thing for me to do is walk away from Niklaus, Stefan, Damon the three most important men in my life, in a thousand years I have met many people but none that that captured my heart like the three of them. The man who stole my heart from the very start Niklaus Mikaelson, I still remember the day when I first laid eyes on him, my heart fluttered just at the sight of him I think it may have been love at first sight. Stefan Salvatore the man who thought me there is hope that people can care and show kindness, he showed me to love in a different way. After when I fled from Nik I was frighten I didn't trust anyone or anything, but then that all changed once I met the Salvatore brothers. Damon was like a brother I've always wanted he, understood me better than I understood myself at time. Damon can see right through me even after 147 years. I began to cry again that all I felt like I was doing lately just crying. I senses that I wasn't alone and I turns around, seeing Stefan. How did he find me?
"Stefan?" I began to wipe away my tears. "Can you please go away? I'm not in the frame of mind to be dealing with you right now." I turned away from him I didn't need Stefan messing up my mind even more, I needed to be alone and figure out what I'm planning to do for the rest of my eternal life.
"What happened?" Stefan spoke with concern in his voice, I know he wanted to make sure that I'm ok, but I can't deal with him right now.
"I just go away, Stefan!" I turned to him raising my voice, I couldn't even look at him because it hurt too much. Why I'm so confused about all of this? Why can't I just walk away like any normal person would?
"I think you have me confused with someone else." Stefan voice sounded a little different, I turned to Stefan who stood there looking at me a little strange like he had seen me for the first time. I couldn't be dealing with Stefan and his mood swings right now, I didn't want to end up having an argument with him, I got up to walk away but he grabs hold of me stopping me from leaving.
"Let me go, Stefan." I got out of his grip, he was still looking at me in a strange and freaky way, I don't know what was going on with him, but him behaving like this was the last thing I needed.
"I never thought I would ever see you again." Stefan kept on looking at me with wonderment in his eyes as he placed his hand on my cheek, I felt myself calming down. "For 2000 years I thought you were dead…." I began to frown at him as eyes began glazing over with tears about to escape.
"Stefan what wrong with you?" I took a few steps back, Stefan stood there with a slight hurt expression. I don't know he drank some bad blood but he was behaving strange.
"Of course you wouldn't remember me, but you know my shadow self." Stefan had completely lost it, there was obviously something wrong with him.
"Stefan are you ok?" I spoke nervously as he approached me slowly, I kind of felt a little frighten of him, like something was a little different with him.
"Maybe I should introduce myself Ophelia. I'm your father." This had to be some kind of sick joke, but then why did part of me feel like I believed him?
Silas P.O.V
From the moment I woke I felt like I could do anything and I could my purpose now was to bring down that veil, and be in the arms of my one true love and my beautiful Ophelia. That all I thought about over the last 2000 years to have Amara and Ophelia in my arms once again, and with Qetsiyah dead a long time ago there nothing stopping me. All I needed was for the expression Triangle to be complete and I would be closer to the two most important people I cared about. Fortunately for me that professor Shane had turned the Bennett witch into a ticking time bomb that she was powerful enough to get me closer to be with my family. The sacrifice of the 12 humans were done and 12 demon, all I need to complete the triangle was the death of 12 witches. Bonnie was a difficult little witch to deal with, but when I showed her what I could do to her and dearest, her tune changed rapidly which of course worked to my advantage.
I had told her what she needed to do to bring a coven of witched together and my plan worked perfectly, but there was one final Ingredient we need to complete the final ritual that was help of the unum praeditos. Now I've heard about the myth of unum praeditos, and that what I thought it was a myth and somehow we could override it. But the Bennett witch informed me that there is was right here in Mystic Falls to my surprise, it was like the fates were on my side they were undoing the injustice that Qetsiyah had set upon me. The night when the final sacrifice was performed where Bonnie had all 12 witches linked so she could take them down, along with the unum praeditos. I watched from a far and I could see how powerful the both of them were together I haven't sense that kind of magic in 2000 years, the energy that came off the both of them. Bonnie had put the unum praeditos under some kind of trance, apparently she weren't willing to help she looked like a fiery little thing. Even though I watched them as they drained each witch of their powers, but I couldn't keep my eye from the unum praeditos. There was something familiar about her she reminded me of someone and I couldn't think of who.
Well after the ritual was done the witch did a disappearing act on me leaving behind unum praeditos I was in two minds to leave her passed out on the ground. I walked away but something pulled me back to her, I looked down on the ground I couldn't help but keep looking at her thinking there was something about her. Why couldn't I walk away from her? I picked up from the ground and held her in my arms, I didn't know what the hell to do with her, then it hit me the witch told me that she staying at the same house where my shadow self-lives Stefan Salvatore. I put her in the car and began to make my way to the Salvatore residents, my eyes kept adverting in the rear-view mirror looking at the girl unconscious in the back seat. I couldn't understand why she seem familiar and it was irritating me now. I finally arrived at the Salvatore I grabbed hold of the girl and threw her over my shoulder, I walked toward the front door and luckily it was unlocked well home filled with vampires. I dropped her on the floor in the front entrance I walked away, but once again I felt drawn to go back to her. I don't know what it was about this one girl, I think it was the magic within her that gave me this strong pull to her as hard as it was I finally walked away.
I had been waiting days for the right moment for the witch to drop the veil she needed to connect all of the three point, to find the centre point to where I will finally come face to face with my Amara and Ophelia. The Bennett which told me to meet her in the southern west clearing in the woods, she was going to bring the cure for me so I would become mortal once she dropped the veil. I had been waiting for over an hour, I'm not a patient man and even more so when one more spell needed to be broken before I could be finally united with my family. I will die at peace and be with them in the afterlife, my beautiful Amara who just by the sight of her would let my heart skip a beat I never thought it was possible to love anyone like I loved and still love her. Then my beautiful Ophelia my precious little girl with her sparkly blue eyes just like my mothers, her long brown hair like her mother's a creation of mine and Amara love my perfect little girl.
While I was deep in my thought thinking about my family I was attacked from behind, it turned out to be a traveller who was a disciple of my bitch ex Qetsiyah. He came here to kill me but unfortunately for him he weren't totally clued up with the fact that I'm immortal, that the cure is needed to actually die. He pleaded for his life I wanted to rip him to shreds until he brought up one name Ophelia, which automatically made me stop. The traveller informed me that Alana a neighbour of my mother village had taken my Ophelia before killing my own mother. Hearing that my own mother had died due to the jealously that Qetsiyah had, because I feel for Amara her handmaiden. I did wrong I will admit that but how can you stop true love when I looked Amara all I felt was my life mapped out, when I would look at Qetsiyah all I would see was misery. I demanded to know more about my daughter and he informed me that Alana had performed a spell on Ophelia to forget everything from her life before, she was given a new name Star. That name seem familiar. He told me that before Ophelia was taken that Qetsiyah had performed a spell her on, that only her blood would be able to wake me from the deep slumber that she planned to put me in. I didn't want to hear anymore him from him he pleaded for his life before I snapped his neck, I dropped him to the ground and began to reflect over what he had just told me.
That my little girl wasn't dead she was very much alive that she didn't know anything about her past, that her whole life and name had been a lie. I tried to place all the piece altogether of what he told me why did that name Star sound familiar? Then it all hit me like a ton of bricks all at once the conversation I had with the witch she told me it was down to Star that I was awoken. That Star was the unum praeditos, she had vampire blood in her system when she die. The girl who I couldn't think why she looked like someone I knew was my Ophelia my daughter. I felt a flood of emotions run through me I couldn't believe that I had come face to with my own flesh and blood, and let her use her magic for my own personal gain. I had to see her. I had to know for sure that it's her that I'm not losing my mind that this traveller wasn't playing with my emotions. But where would I start? I knew she resided with the Salvatore's that would be the first place to look. In this moment in time I didn't care about dropping the veil, I needed to know the truth about my daughter.
I left the clearing and went directly to the Salvatore home I search high and low and she wasn't there, when I enter a room that appeared to be of a female I had the same sense I did when I would feel my daughter present. Could it be true that this Star was my Ophelia? I needed to know once and for all. I left the house and began to look all over town there wasn't any indication that she was here. Could she have left? I went to the last place in this stupid town the large mansion that was owned by the Mayor son, I approached the grounds and looked around. My world came to stop when I saw the brunette I had seen for the first time a few days ago, she appeared to upset. I approached her and she sense me straight away she thought I was Stefan the carbon copy of myself, but what I was more concerned about is the reason why she was crying. The way she looked at me her expression were the same as of when she was a child, I knew the young lady before me was my Ophelia after 2000 years she more beautiful than I ever thought she would be. She certainly had my temper as she shouted at me to leave her alone, she inherited some of my traits, but I need her to know the truth that I'm her father. I knew standing this close to her I knew that she was my little girl I was having that same overwhelming feeling I used to have when I always saw her as a child.
"What did you say?" She wasn't taking too well with what I had just told her, I needed to explain everything to her.
"Ophelia, I know this is a lot to take in." I watched as my little girl looked frighten with me approaching her, and it killed me seeing her like that. "I thought you were dead, she told me you were dead." Those were the last words that Qetsiyah had told me that Amara and Ophelia were murder by her own hands before she turned me into stone. Leaving me torture for 2000 years thinking that the both of them were in the afterlife. I looked at my daughter as she backs away from me while shaking her head
"Wait...what? Who told you that I was dead?" Her voice shook slightly it pained me to see her like this, I didn't want to overwhelm her like this.
"Qetsiyah when she put me under the spell she told me that she murdered you and your mother." I stepped a little closer to her, and she didn't move away from me. "She lied your here... but how?" Amara and I had both taken the cure to make us immortal, so how could our daughter still be alive after all of this time? Could it be because of the fact that she the unum praeditos?
"Ok, Stefan I don't know what kind of game that you're playing. But I had enough and I'm leaving." Of course she going to think that I'm him, I needed her to know I'm not 'Stefan' she tries to leave but I stopped her. "Get out of my way, Stefan!" She screamed at me once again showing me that she was truly my daughter with my temper.
"I'm not Stefan, I'm your father Silas." She looked at me like I was crazy, and I didn't blame her Alana had taken every memory from her, if she wasn't dead already I would quite happily murder her with my own two hands.
"Ok, Stefan I don't know what kind of game that you're playing. But I had enough and I'm leaving." She tried to leave again but I stopped her. "Get out of my way, Stefan!" I need her to know that I'm her father I took in a deep breath and touched her cheek.
Flash Back—9947 BC Ancient Greece
I had been pacing back and forth hearing the screams from Amara chambers while she was bringing our child into this world. I felt excitement to see this beautiful creation that Amara and I had made out of our love, but I also felt fear, as our relationship was a secret. I was engaged to another woman her name was Qetsiyah she was a powerful witch but in comparison I was by far more powerful. Our engagement was more due to the fact of it was expected which I went along with, as my mother that the two most powerful families would combine. What I fear was the fact that the relationship I had with Amara was a secret, and now she was having my child I fear what Qetsiyah would do if she found out. I continued to hear the screams from Amara and it pained me to hear her in so much pain, I wanted to use magic to help, her but her mother was against it. So I had to endure hearing my true loves screams. After what felt like an eternity the screams stopped, and moments later I was told that mother and baby were doing fine. I went into the room where Amara and our child were I stood there frozen on the spot as Amara held a tiny baby in her arms, she looked up at me and smile.
"Silas, look at our little girl. She is beautiful." I couldn't believe I had a daughter I approached Amara who holding our daughter tightly in her arms, I crouched down and strokes my baby cheek.
"She the most beautiful baby I've ever seen." I looked at Amara and kissed her she had given me such a precious gift, a gift of a child created out of our love, I pulled away and looked at my little girl who was sleeping calmly in here mothers arms. "What shall we name her?" Amara looked down at our little girl then back to me.
"How about Ophelia?" She smiles and kissed me I couldn't help butsmile at my blue eyed daughter.
"That a perfect name for her." I lead down and kisses Ophelia on the forehead "Welcome to the world Ophelia"
Present Day
"I'm not Stefan. I need to you believe that." I wanted Ophelia to believe me that this wasn't some sick joke to hurt her feelings. "For two thousand years all I've ever wanted was to be with you and you mother, and her you are." This was becoming over whelming for me now having my daughter all grown up before me I backed away from her. "That bitch ex of mine she knew exactly how to hurt me. I was foolish to believe that she would kill a child, of course she wouldn't of killed an innocent child." I yelled in fury I realised my action and looked at my daughter who didn't speak a word, I wanted to know what she was thinking. I could invade her thoughts, but could I really do that to her there must be a million questions going through her mind. "I know this is difficult. It took me a while to come to terms with it all. But you are my Ophelia." She glared at me.
"If you are really my father. Prove it!" She scoffed. Of course she would want proof, it was unbelievable how her behaviour was like mine when I was human, before the time when it was all about the power and becoming the better witch.
"You want me to prove it, you defiantly are my daughter." I smiles and touches her cheek once again.
Flash Back—9950 BC Ancient Greece
Ophelia just turned three years old she had proven to be the most special little girl, she was gifted from the moment she would crawl. She had a lot of power for someone who was do young Amara feared that it was too much for her, but I wanted our daughter to embrace heritage. So when I wasn't with that so called fiancée of mine I would spend time teaching Ophelia how to control her magic. Today I was trying to teach her how to levitate a feather, couple of feathers set a light but that was due to her powers were strong.
"Well done Ophelia," I spoke proudly while I watched my daughter floating a feather without setting it alight. "Stay focus." I told her while I stood behind her looking at her with a smile.
"Look, Father I'm doing it." She spoke proudly, she had been getting frustrated with all the feather she had burnt but now giggling.
"Your very gifted Ophelia, you're going to very powerful when you're older." I picked her up and held her in my arms and kisses her cheek, I watched as Ophelia gave me a beaming smile.
"Love you, Father." Every time I heard her say that it opened up my heart, to have that unconditional love to hear those word from your own flesh and blood is a feeling that can't be described.
"Love you too." I smiles widely at my little girl
Present Day
"Father..." She spoke the word slowly I dreamt of hear her call me that for over 2000 years, I looked at my daughter she finally knew who I was. I notice the colour fade away from her face she went white as a sheet, her eyes rolled back she drops down to the ground. I crouched down and checked she was ok she was still breathing I think with everything had overwhelmed her.
I picked her up in my arms and carried her to the car, I think I may have done the wrong thing by telling her all that in one go. That was selfish of me, Ophelia was upset already when I arrived and I just turned her world upside down with me telling her I'm her father. I drove to the Salvatore home I parked up and got Ophelia out of the car I carried her into the house I didn't care if anyone was in, my concern was that she was ok. I placed her on the couch and moved her hair from her face, my beautiful little girl had been through in her life time. I needed to give her time to come to terms with this, I didn't know what her reaction would be like when she woke. What if she rejects me? Could I deal with rejection from her! No I couldn't I had to walk away and give her time a few days maybe I'll return, as this was overwhelming for her it was for me too. I had found out my daughter that I thought had died over 2000 year is alive and living a life tragedy. I need time to think if this is what I wanted I'm so close to being back with Amara, now I have to choose to die and be with my true love, or continue with my immortal life and grown a relationship with my daughter.
Damon P.O.V
How could I of been so stupid I believed everything that Star told me that she was sorry for what she did, that she had turned it all back on. How foolish was I to believe that she turned it all on, Star played a performance of a lifetime she really did. I argue with Stefan the whole day defending her and she just played all of us, she really wasn't that girl I once met. This was all down to Elena and Katherine it was their fault that Star had become what she is. I had feeling for Elena and I cared about her a lot, but I can't forgive her for her action on that island, jealously is an ugly look and it didn't look good on her. Then again revenge didn't look good on Star either the way we found Elena in the jail cell all broken and hurt, it was crazy I really didn't think that Star had it in her to do something like that. I had torture people over the decades but not to the extremes that she went to, the switch was definitely off.
I had tried to talk to Elena to see if she was ok but she wouldn't even let me into the house, that how messed up she was. For the last couple of days I watched her house with the concern that Star may come back to finish off what she started. Elena would only let one person into the house and that was my brother, I couldn't even question him about Elena because we weren't on good terms. Which was annoying the crap out of me so I decided to try and find Star instead there was one slight problem I had no clue where to start. That was until I bumped into the original sister who informed me that Klaus had taken Star on a little field trip. When I asked her to elaborate on what Klaus was doing with her all Rebekah told me is that he planning on 'making' Star turn it back on, for that one very moment I was actually proud of the hybrid. One thing about Klaus when it came to Star he show some sign of humanity that beneath all of that power hungry dick, he really did care or shall I say loves her. The man who told me once that 'Love' is a vampire greatest weakness, well it proven his kryptonite is Star and he better not make that known to his ermines as they will use Star as tool in a war against Klaus.
I tried to call him on his cell but he weren't picking up the douche had to pick today to be dick and not answer. I felt like no one wanted my help that I'm getting rejected from every angle and I don't even know what I care so much, I never used to care like this! Great I've become soft! I got back into my car and drove home I think I need a distraction of some sort, yeah I'll get showered and dress and go out on the prowl. Pick up a few sorority girls you know have a few drinks let out this penetrated frustration out, and of course not forgetting my greatest pleasure of blood. That sounds like the best plan I've come up with for a very long time. Damon Salvatore back to his care freeways like the good old days. I walked into the house and I was about to head up the stairs and saw an unconscious Star on the couch, I walked over to the sofa and shook her lightly.
"Star?" She looked terrible paler than usual, Star began to stir slightly, but her eyes didn't open "Star!" I shook her a little harder this time Star opens her eyes slowly.
"Where am I?" She mumbled while looked at me with a very confused expression, why the hell did Klaus just drop her off in the couch?
"Home, and you have explaining to do." I was happy she was home, but I was pissed at her for tricking me, I couldn't even looked at her for lying to me I had to move away from her.
"Damon?" Star spoke with confusion as she sat up holding her head.
"Yes in the flesh! So who are you today?" I need a drink for this conversation I walked over to the bar. "Vengeful torturous Star, or Miss Sweet and innocent, cause I get confused with your roles." I spoke with sarcasm while I glared over at her Star kept looking around the room.
"Where is he? Where is my father?" She spoke panicky, what the hell is she on about her father?
"You're what?" She gets up from the couch running her hands through her hair, she always did that when she was worried or frighten.
"My father. He was here. I saw him." She began to search the room like a crazy person. "Dad?!" What the hell had Klaus done to her? I super-sped to her I think she might be losing her mind as wasn't taking to be a vampire well at all.
"What are you on about your father—" Then it all hit me that Silas had made himself know to Star, that dick! What the hell was he thinking Star was already an emotional mess and now he dropped the biggest bomb shell on her.
"Damon…" Her voice was shaking as she spoke. "I'm not crazy. I saw him. I saw my dad. Please help me find him. " I knew she weren't crazy, but she needed to get a grip she behaving like a loon right now, I got hold of her.
"You need to calm down Star. Silas not here." Why did I say his name him as I hadn't told Star about knowing her father is Silas.
"No, Damon! He has some explaining to do. I want to know why he looks like Stefan. I need to know Damon!" Did I hear her say he looked like Stefan? What the hell had happen to her?
"Star please your talking like a crazy person right now. Where have you been since you tortured the crap out of Elena, is the switch on or off right now?" I was trying to distract her from her crazy talk, and once I've calmed her down I'm paying a visit to the original dick and find out what the hell had he done to her.
"Elena deserved everything that happened to her. So if you are expecting me to apologize, you will have a long wait because I have more important things to do than to worry about precious Elena Gilbert, who sucks as a vampire by the way. Excuse me, so I can go find my father." Star spoke to me really annoyed she was really on a mission to find her 'father' I think she was tripping out or something and she needed a reality check.
"So looking for a father who been MIA more important than tell me where the hell you've been!" I shouted at her actually didn't give a crap about her stupid ass father. "Actually screw that! What about an apology Star, you know for fooling me telling me it all switched on. You played me and I'm meant to be your friend! News flash you DON'T treat your friends like that!" I was pissed at her for all that I never thought that Star would play me like that, I know how it is when the switch is off, but even with all emotions off there always that one person you would never want to hurt. Over the years it had been Stefan that why when I had turned it all off I stayed away from him, because he was the last person who I ever wanted to hurt. Yes we had this love hate relationship, but he was always my baby bro. I thought it would have been the same with Star that even with everything off that I would be that one person she couldn't deceive.
"Damon, I'm sorry, but I have to find him." I watched as Star sped out of the house she had finally lost it why does she keep talking about her father? I super speeds after her and somehow caught up with her threw her to the ground pinning her down. Star looked shocked by what I had done to her "Damon, get off of me!"
"NO! You're losing it Star." I held her down more firmly "You may not value our friendship, but I do and I'm not letting you go all around town like a crazy person looking for a guy who hasn't even made himself know to you!" I raised my voice at her Star looked at me confused, I don't know if she was hallucinating, or there was something wrong with her I couldn't understand her behaviour right now.
"But I saw him and he looked just like Stefan." What the hell is she on about? Why has she come back from being from Klaus all screwed up, I'm going to stake that asshole.
"You're telling me your 'Father' looks liked Stefan." I need to talk to her rationally I got up and helped her up "Ok Star we need to do one of two thing. One being I think we need to check you into Vampire rehab as your state of mind needs questioning. Two you're still in love with Stefan and your using searching for you dad as an excuse to find him. I'm hoping going down option two cause anything better than that hybrid dick husband of yours." Star stayed quiet I knew it wasn't the time to joke, but she was seriously worrying me, I approached her and put my arm around her. "Look you've been through a lot since turning. I think you're just overwhelmed right now, and I'm here to help you through this." I gave her small smile. "You know how a friend should be. I know I'm rusty at all this, and people think of me as heartless dick." I placed both of my hands her shoulders and looks into her eyes. "But when it comes to you Star I can't be like that because you matter to me. So can we please stop the crazy talk and go back in the house." I smiled at her with hope that she had taken everything I told in, but she smiles at me
"Sure. Let's go." Right now my main priority is Star and no one else after the way she behaved I'm concerned about her, maybe with her being unum praeditos and turning into a vampire screwed her up. I don't know a lot about any of this but the one thing I know for sure is whatever going to happen with Star I'm going to be by her side. I'm not going to abandon her like everyone else has in her life I'm going to be right by her side taking in the good and the bad.
Star P.O.V
It was too much for me. The constant unbearable pain I wanted it to end. I was sick and tired of hurting everybody that cared about me. I felt like I was a curse I wished that I had never been born. When I was gone, I knew that everybody would be happier, Damon would not have to worry about me again. He could probably convince that Elena that he was the one that he was her soul mate and not Stefan. Stefan would finally have peace because he wouldn't have to worry about me anymore, and Elena wanted to be with him. Maybe that could happen if I wasn't around to interfere or Katherine could finally sink her claws in him. Nik, my husband finally had what he always wanted a child and that was something that I could never give him. It broke my heart when I found out that Hayley was having his baby. He had cheated on me, and I couldn't blame him because I was a selfish emotionless bitch. I knew that I was hurting him and I didn't care, I even told him to turn it off because feelings were pathetic. I even laughed when he begged me not to go. And then there was the dream that I had about seeing my father, Silas but that was all that it was just a dream. My mind was made up I waited until Damon was distracted by drinking, and went to the study. It didn't take me long to find the stake and I stood by the window and held it over my heart I was ready for all this to end once and for all.
"Star…" Now I'm hallucinating now hearing the voice of my husband, but I sense something in the room I turned to my right and there he stood looking at me with sorrow in his eyes. "Sweetheart what are you doing?" He began to approaches me with caution, I didn't know if he was really here I didn't know if my mind was playing tricks on me once again. I held the stake firmly against my chest I wanted all of this over with, I'm tired of the pain and suffering I have caused, I wanted it to all be done with.
"I can't take it anymore, Nik. I want it over. I want to die." I felt my tears rolling down my cheeks I every part of me wanted to drive this stake through me this was my time. I was meant to die on the island I wasn't ever meant to be vampire I will finally be at peace.
"No Star, isn't who you are." He kept coming closer to me and I began to back away from him, he raised his hand in surrender that he wouldn't hurt me. "You don't have to end it Star, you have people who care about you a great deal." All I did to those people who cared about me was cause then pain and misery.
"No, let me die! All I do is cause pain! I hurt everybody that cares about me! All of you would be better off if I was dead." I held on to the stake tight and took in a deep breath, suddenly it was ripped out of my hand I felt a tight embrace. I looked up to see those blue-green eyes of the man I once fell in love with, looking at me with fear. In the years I had known Niklaus I had never seen such fear before from him.
"You will bring more pain to those people that care about you lives if you chose to give up and die." Nik looked into my eyes. "You are stronger than this." I wasn't strong, if I was I wouldn't be breaking down like this, I'm not the person who Niklaus thinks I am. No I'm weak not strong whatsoever.
"No, Nik! Please let me die! I can't take the pain anymore." I broke down crying I need him to let me go I wanted it all end. I wanted him to give me my last dying wish that I chose not to be here on this earth anymore.
"I can take it away." He pulled away from me. "I can take the pain away from you, but it will not lead to your death. I could do that for you, but I know that you are stronger than you think you are Star." I knew what Niklaus meant he was willing to compel me even after all the hurtful thing I had told him, I couldn't understand why he would never give up on me. All I ever done to him is cause him pain from faking my death to telling him I was going to die while he was trapped in the Gilbert home. To tell him I didn't love him or care for him, how could the Hybrid who is known to be wicked not give up on me?
"Why do you care? All I do is hurt you" I spoke the words of truth to him, he looked at me with loving look in his eyes, as he caressed my cheek.
"Because I can't stop thinking about you. I know you told me that I don't mean a thing to you, but I love you Star. I will love you will my last dying breath, and I can't walk away from you. I've tried... but I can't."
