"This is definitely an inconvenience." Dante sighs.
"Agreed." Adrianna mumbles.
"Shh." Dante whispers, putting a finger to his lips. The room goes silent for a minute.
"I don't hear anything." Alex says, shrugging.
"I heard movement outside. Let's go see what it was. It could've been Stefan." Dante says, standing and motioning for everyone to follow him. Damon holds Elena's hand as they walk outside and onto the backyards soft grass.
"Whoa. What was that?" Alex asks, appearing beside Dante.
"I don't know. It sounded like a vampire." He says, crouching in a position that screamed 'ready to kill if necessary'.
"Boys, boys, calm down. It is merely I." A voice says and Baltazar steps out of the woods, holding his hands up in surrender.
"God you scared us." Alex says, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Good." He suddenly appears in front of Alex, ramming a stake into his thigh.
"ALEX" Everyone else yells, rushing to his side. Before Adrianna can reach him she's thrown back against a tree, stake protruding from her heart.
"That should knock her out for a little while." Baltazar says calmly.
"Dante look at me." He says, looking down to the ground where Dante is sitting next to Alex.
"I said look at me." He yells angrily, kicking Dante in the back. He falls forward but is back on his feet in seconds, facing Baltazar. Damon takes the opportunity and runs to Alex, gripping the stake and pulling it from his leg. Alex sits up, looking around frantically.
"Dante." Alex yells. Damon turns around to see Dante fighting Baltazar. The two of them circle each other like wolves stalking their prey.
"ENOUGH" Elijah yells, appearing in between his two younger siblings.
"I was merely doing what you asked." Baltazar groans, turning around to face him. Elijah seizes the opportunity and sticks his hand in Baltazar's chest, removing his heart and killing him. "Your next" He says, walking over to Adrianna and sticking his hand through her chest as well, removing her heart and sitting it next to Baltazar's on the ground.
"NO" Dante yells, falling to his knees. Tears fall down his cheeks onto the grass.
"Do not be weak, Dante. This is not over till I say it is." He says, an evil grin appearing on his face. "Come out, come out, wherever you are Ryan." He yells into the forest.
"Ryan?" Elena and Damon say together. Out he walks.
"Stefan" She chokes out, falling to the ground.
"You never mentioned killing a woman or a child." He says, motioning to Elena and Alex.
"You never asked." Elijah says ,shrugging. "The child goes first."
"NO" Elena and Damon yell, standing to protect Alex.
"Stupid mortals. Always following your hearts instead of your brains." Elijah says, picking up Alex and appearing on the other side of the yard in a blur.
"Here" He says, sticking a stake in his knee. Alex screams. "And here." Elijah continues, sticking a stake in Alex's stomach. Another scream.
"Stop" Damon yells, trying to get to them.
"And now for the finale. This one goes right by the heart." He says, ramming it right below Alex's heart. This scream is full of fear and pain beyond belief. His eyes close and his movements still.
"If I push it up just the tiniest bit..." He says, reaching for the stake. Before his hands can reach it he chokes, grabbing his throat and looking down to his chest.
His heart is missing. He falls. He dies.
Stefan stands behind his body. He throws the heart across the yard, kneeling in front of Alex. He pulls the stakes out and pulls Alex against his chest, wrapping his arms around him.
"You're ok. You're ok." He mumbles into his shoulder. "I'm here. You're ok." He whispers, holding Alex to him tightly. Tears falling frantically down his face.
"Um" Alex says, pushing against the man hugging him. He let's go and pulls back to look at him.
"God, your so perfect." He says, touching his cheek.
"Um" Alex says, feeling incredibly awkward.
"I'm Stefan." He says, smiling while the tears fall.
"Stefan?" Alex says in disbelief.
"I'm your dad."
