~This is the sequel to New Girl In Mystic Falls~
~Along the season 3 timeline~

Here is The End of The Affair-part 2.
I think I enjoyed writing this chapter a little more than the last chapter. In here, I have a little bit of Stefan's POV. It's the first time, in any of my stories that I have attempted to do something from his POV. I hope it's good.

I've been thinking about what I'm going to be doing when I get to The Reckoning, but I'll have more about that at the end of the chapter. For now, just get comfortable and...
ENJOY!

Chelsea, Stefan and Klaus were all walking to Stefan's old apartment. The hallway seemed kind of boring with different shades of brown. 'The colors were probably popular for buildings here back then' Chelsea thought as she looked at the brown shaded walls.

"What a charming little homestead." Klaus said as they walked up to a door. He looked at the doorknob. The lock seemed to have been broken. He kicked open the door and cautiously walked in the apartment with Stefan and Chelsea behind him. Klaus looked around, thinking that something was wrong.
"Do you feel that?" He turned to Stefan, "Is anybody here?" Chelsea felt something, but wasn't going to say anything. She felt that she shouldn't say anything to him, so instead she shook her head.
"It's been vacant for decades. People must break in all the time." Stefan said, He brushed his fingers over some dust that was on some books and turned his head to Klaus, "Why'd you bring us here?" Chelsea walked towards the window, to look at the view as Klaus started to answer.
"Your friend, Liam Grant," Klaus paused for a moment, "the one that drank his wife's blood... I could never figure out why you wanted to know his name." He looked at Stefan, "Then you told me your little secret." Chelsea stopped looking outside and turned to Klaus and Stefan. "It was all part of your little ritual."

There was silence between them, as Stefan was trying to remember what he used to do. Stefan raised his head up a little.
"To write it down."
"And relive the kill, over and over again." A small sadistic smile came upon Klaus's face before he turned to a bookcase. He pulled it back, revealing a hidden closet. At first glance all you could see was liquor, but if you looked inside you would see something else. Chelsea stepped forward first, getting to the hidden closet before Stefan. She looked at the liquor before turning her head. Her eyes went wide when she saw Elena hiding in the closet that Klaus opened up to them. Elena looked surprised. 'Be quiet' Chelsea mouthed to Elena. She nodded her head before Chelsea stepped backwards. Chelsea leaned against the wall that had the closet in it. Stefan stepped forward, to it while Chelsea closed her eyes.

Stefan's POV

I walked to the hidden closet that my old apartment still had. I vaguely remember back then, but I did remember that I wrote down the names of those I killed. I took a deep breath and I looked into the closet. On the wall I saw that old list of names that I haven't seen in years. Sometimes I wonder how I could do all that stuff to those innocent people, but then again that's how I was back then. That is, before Lexi found me and helped me kick the habit. I couldn't see much besides the stuff that has been in there since I left this place, but I felt something and I wasn't sure what it was.

General POV

Stefan turned his head to the liquor, still unaware that Elena was hiding, just a few feet from him. "Look what I found." Stefan said which made Elena hold her breath and Chelsea open her eyes. Klaus turned to him, getting a few feet closer. Chelsea turned to him as well. Stefan grabbed a bottle and gave it to Klaus. Elena let out a breath, at the same time as Chelsea which made it unknown to Klaus and Stefan. Klaus looked at the label on the bottle.
"1918, Single malt." He looked up to Stefan, "My favorite." Klaus gave a small smile. "Let's go and find someone to pair it with." Klaus and Stefan started to walk away, leaving Chelsea to close the hidden closet.
"I'm gonna stay here for a bit." Chelsea said which made Klaus stop and turn around.
"And why would you want to do that?" He asked with a straight face.
"Because, I want to read the list." Stefan and Klaus took that in surprise, "And the view is nice." Chelsea gave a quick smile. Klaus studied her face.
"Fine." He eventually said. "Just meet us at Gloria's." Chelsea nodded her head as Klaus walked out the door with Stefan following him. Stefan looked back at Chelsea, who was waiting for them to leave. He eventually closed the door, leaving Chelsea in the apartment.

Chelsea waited until she knew that Stefan and Klaus were out of earshot. She turned to Elena, who was still in the closet.
"What are you doing here?" Chelsea asked Elena, without even going in the closet. Elena stepped out.
"Trying to bring you and Stefan back." Elena said to Chelsea.
"Don't you know it's dangerous for you?"
"We don't care, besides... we're being careful."
"We?" Chelsea asked. "...wait. You mean Damon's here to?" Elena nodded her head.
"Who do you think drove here?" The stood for a minute, looking at each other.
"You should probably let him know that Klaus was here." Chelsea walked into the closet and grabbed a bottle while Elena called Damon. Chelsea didn't bother to listen in to the conversation as she tried to find a glass to drink from.

"How come Stefan didn't see me when he was here before?" Elena asked Chelsea after she had called Damon.
"I did a spell that made you, or any human I would choose, invisible to any vampire." Elena looked at her with a curious look as she took a sip from the cup.
"I didn't know witches could do that."
"Not many can," Chelsea started to explain "It takes energy. When you are like me, part witch, part vampire, you can do more complicated spells without it taking a toll on your body." Chelsea took a sip.
"I know," Elena said, looking at Chelsea, "I'm pretty sure you've told me before."
"Oh, I thought it might have been Bonnie, but oh, well." Chelsea took another sip.

Chelsea was sitting on the floor, drinking something while Elena was standing on the other side of the doorway, holding a vervain dart. They heard the door open, but Elena reacted first.
"Finally," Elena said. Chelsea slowly started to get up from the ground. "I called you an hour ago" Damon threw a bag of something on a chair and lunged back onto the couch.
"Make yourself presentable. I know where Stefan's going to be tonight." Chelsea had gotten up from the ground and turned to face Damon and Elena.
"Well, what about me?" She asked.
"Chelsea." Damon said. He just stared at her while. She set down the cup.
"You know you keep putting yourself in danger for us."
"If that's what we have to do to get you two back." Chelsea scoffed. She could feel the alcohol in her system. She didn't normally drink, but she couldn't deny it's helped when dealing with Klaus and these surprises from Stefan's past.

"You're only out here in Chicago because Elena wants to get Stefan back. You happened to find out that we were here, told Elena, and came here looking for Stefan."
"We came for you to." Damon said, getting up fast.
"We," Chelsea emphasized. "Not 'I', Damon. There's a difference." Damon got close to Chelsea. He looked at her as she looked at him. "You guys are putting yourselves in danger to get 'us' back and it's not doing any good." Damon kissed her, hoping it would calm her. He wanted to show her that he is here for her, and not just to get Elena and Stefan back together. Damon could tell that she has alcohol on her tongue, but he didn't care. Elena watched awkwardly as they were kissing, but she couldn't help but feel a little jealousy. She just turned away, and looked outside until they were done. Damon pulled away and looked into Chelsea's emerald colored eyes. She looked down and some sadness appeared on Damon's face. "See you later I guess." She said as she walked out of the apartment. Damon just stood there as Chelsea walked out, away from him.

Chelsea walked down the hall, feeling numb.
"She's just drunk." Elena said to Damon, trying to make him feel better.
"I heard that." Chelsea said, still walking out. She knew that Damon could hear her, and that he would tell Elena what Chelsea just said. It took a minute for Damon to snap back. He turned to Elena. "Get dressed." He said to her, sitting back down on the couch. "You're all road trippy and gross." That was the last Chelsea heard as she made her way to Gloria's.

Chelsea walked in, just as Klaus raised his glass.
"To friendship" Stefan, who looked like he was deep in thought, was looking at Klaus's glass. He tapped the glass against Klaus's. Chelsea came up next to Klaus as he drank from it.
"Took you long enough." Klaus said as Chelsea sat down.
"Yeah, sorry." She said as she turned her head to Stefan. "I drank some of your stuff."
"That's a surprise." Chelsea let out a chuckle as Klaus poured some tequila in a shot glass and pushed it towards Chelsea. "Be careful, I don't want you too drunk when you meet my sister." Klaus said to Chelsea.

"So, I'm confused." Stefan said which make Klaus turn his head towards him. Chelsea just listened without moving her head. "If we were such great friends, why do I only know you as the hybrid dick that sacrificed my girlfriend on an altar of fire?"
"All good things must come to an end."
"Yep." Chelsea unconsciously said out loud. Chelsea started to drown Klaus and Stefan out while she just looked at the shot glass. She couldn't stop thinking about what she said to Damon. Sure, she had some alcohol in her, but she wasn't actually drunk. It was what she thought though, ever since that night that Stefan killed Ray. 'If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here'. What Damon said that night made her start to think. 'Maybe he was just saying that, but why would he say that in the first place? He knows I'm only doing this because it was the only way to get him Klaus's blood so he could survive Tyler's bite. He probably thinks I'm stupid for doing it.'

"You compelled me to forget." Stefan said which brought Chelsea out of her thoughts.
"It was time for Rebekah and I to move on. Better to have a clean slate."
"But why? You shouldn't have to cover your tracks, unless..."
"You were running from someone." Chelsea spoke up.

"Storytime's over." 'Must be a touchy subject' Chelsea thought as something caught Stefan's eye. He turned his head, to the door, where he saw Damon standing. Chelsea saw that Stefan was looking at something, so she turned her head and saw Damon. 'Really?' Chelsea thought. 'This soon?' Chelsea thought as she turned her head back to the shot glass. Stefan turned his head at Klaus.
"I need a drink." Stefan took a sip from his glass. "A real one." He set the glass down and walked out the bar.

"You're drinking."
"Really? I have not noticed." Chelsea said to Klaus, not looking at him.
"Don't be such a downer Chelsea." She turned her head towards him. "We're going to have much more fun." Klaus chuckled a little.
"Like killing more people?"
"Well that is fun..." Chelsea turned her head away from Klaus as he smirked. "But I was thinking about other things." Chelsea scoffed and started to ignore Klaus.

It felt like a few minutes to Chelsea when she heard someone sitting next to Klaus.
"I see they've opened the doors to the riff raff now." Chelsea turned her head to see who he was talking to and she scoffed.
"Oh, honey. I've been called worse." Damon turned his head to Chelsea. "Oh my, He's driven you to drink." Chelsea couldn't help but let out a little chuckle.
"You don't give up, do you?" Damon turned his head to Klaus. Chelsea looked in Damon's eyes. She saw a flash of sadness in them before she looked down.
"Give Chelsea and my brother back, and you'll never have to see me again." Chelsea looked up at Damon. 'Maybe he is doing this for me too.' She thought as she looked at him.
"Well, I am torn. You see, I promised them that I wouldn't let you die, but how many freebies did I really sign up for? And clearly you want to die, otherwise you wouldn't be here."
"What can you say, I'm a thrill seeker."
"You could say that again." Chelsea muttered, but they both heard it. A small smile flashed on Damon's face.

Klaus sat there for a second before he grabbed Damon's neck in a flash. Chelsea gasped. Klaus lifted Damon a few inches off the ground as Chelsea watched. She didn't want to get on Klaus's bad side, because she didn't want to end up dead, but she didn't want Damon to die. Klaus stabbed Damon with a toothpick. 'If that hits Damon's heart..." Chelsea thought. Klaus took out the toothpick.
"Oh, dear. What was that?" Klaus looked at Damon while he trailed his neck with the toothpick. "I'm a little boozey, so you'll forgive me if I miss your heart the first couple of tries." Klaus stabbed the toothpick in Damon's stomach. Damon groaned in pain. Chelsea stepped forward, closer to them.
"You want a partner in crime? Forget them. I'm so much more fun." Damon managed to say while Klaus continued to choke him.

"Trading two for one, is not a fair trade." Klaus looked at Damon. Damon managed to look over at Chelsea, who stepped closer to them. "Besides," Klaus threw Damon into a table. Chelsea's eyes went wide 'OMG. Damon' Chelsea thought as she saw Damon break the table. "You won't be any fun after you're dead." Klaus told Damon after he broke a leg off the table that he threw Damon into. Chelsea just stared... it was like she was frozen. Klaus was right over Damon with the table leg, about to stake him when it started on fire.
"Really?" Klaus asked after he tossed the table leg off to the side.
"Not in my bar." Chelsea looked behind her and saw Gloria. She gasped. "You take it outside." Chelsea smiled at Gloria, who nodded at Chelsea when she saw this. Damon tried to get up but Klaus pushed him back onto the floor. Chelsea turned her head back towards them.
"You don't have to negotiate for their freedom. When I'm done with them, they won't want to go back." Chelsea couldn't help but gasp, but when she opened her mouth, nothing came out. She just stared at Damon as Klaus slowly got up from holding him down.

Damon looked over at Chelsea, still on the ground. You could tell that he was surprise about this as well. Chelsea was about to step towards Damon, but Klaus appeared in front of her. Chelsea took a deep breath and looked up at Klaus.
"Make sure he gets out of here." Klaus told Chelsea. She nodded as he walked back to the bar. Her eyes shifted to Damon, who was just about to get himself off the ground. Chelsea sped over to him and helped him up, even though he didn't need it. Damon looked at Chelsea but she put her finger on her mouth, telling him to be quiet without drawing attention from Klaus.

They walked outside, through the door that Damon had come in.
"You knew something like that was going to happen." Chelsea couldn't help but say out loud once she knew Klaus couldn't hear them.
"So, what if I did?" Damon asked then as the stopped. They slowly looked into each other's faces.
"You're just lucky that Gloria stopped Klaus."
"Why, wouldn't you have stopped him?"
"I..." She looked down. "I don't know, Damon." She looked back up to him. "I don't, want you to 'die, but I don't want to die either." 'Even though we're technically already dead'' she thought to herself. Damon couldn't help but have a small flash of a smile appear on his face. He went in for a kiss, and this time Chelsea didn't mind. 'This is the best thing that happened today'' Chelsea thought as the kiss ended. Damon looked into Chelsea's eye.
"I will never stop trying to get you back just as Elena won't stop until she gets Stefan back." Chelsea smiled as she watched Damon walk away. She looked at the ground and took a deep breath before going back inside.

When Chelsea got inside, she saw that Stefan got back. 'He must have come in through a different door.' She thought as she stepped closer to Stefan and Klaus.

"Nice timing." Klaus said, turning to Chelsea. "We were just about to check on my sister." Klaus got closer to Chelsea. "I take it that it went okay?" Chelsea just nodded.
"Time to go." Chelsea followed Klaus out the bar with Stefan behind her.

They walked into the warehouse. 'She should be awake by now.' Chelsea thought, remembering the time when Elena took the dagger out of Elijah.
"Stay here." Klaus told Chelsea and Stefan as he continued to walk to where his sister's coffin is.

Klaus walked up to the coffin and saw that Rebekah's body wasn't there. He looked over the coffin and saw that the guard was dead, which meant Rebekah was more than likely still around.
"Rebekah...It's your big brother. Come out, come out wherever you are." Next thing he knew, Rebekah flashed in front of him, stabbing him with the dagger.
"Go to hell Nick." She said within inches of his face. Klaus looked at her as she took a step back. He put his hand on the dagger, pulled it out, and let it fall to the floor. Rebekah watched as the dagger hit the ground and looked back at Klaus.
"Oh, don't pout." Klaus said tilting his head. "You knew it wouldn't kill me."
"Yeah, but I was hoping it would hurt more." Rebekah said before turning away from Klaus, towards the direction that Stefan and Chelsea were in, although she didn't know this.
"I understand you're upset with me Rebekah..." Klaus walked alongside his sister. He put his hand on her shoulder. Rebekah stopped and looked at Klaus. "So I'm just going to let that go, just this once." Klaus looked at his sister for a second. "Brought you a little piece offering." Klaus looked in Stefan and Chelsea's direction. "You can come in."

Stefan walked in first, with Chelsea a few feet behind.
"Stefan." She said in surprise. Rebekah chose to ignore Chelsea because the last time she was walking around, she was deeply in love with Stefan and she hasn't seen him in 90 years. Klaus walked at a fast pace, well for a human, up to Stefan. He put his hand on Stefan's shoulder and looked into his eyes.
"Now you remember." Klaus compelled Stefan to remember what he had made him forget in the 1920's. Stefan closed his eyes and Klaus walked back, next to Chelsea. It was not long before Stefan opened his eyes and looked straight at Rebekah.
"Rebekah." Stefan said in almost a whisper. He started walking to Rebekah.
"Stefan." Klaus said, which made Stefan turn around and look at Klaus.

"I remember you." He said looking at Klaus. "We were friends." A small smile appeared on Stefan's face but went away. Klaus stepped up to Stefan, putting his hand on his shoulder.
"We are friends." Klaus turned his head to Rebekah. "And now, to the reason you're here." Klaus walked up to Rebekah as Stefan and Chelsea watched. "Gloria tells me you know how to contact the original witch."
"The original witch?" She questioned.
"Well, you have what Gloria needs." Rebekah moved her hand to her neck, and felt nothing there and looked down.
"Where's my necklace?" She looked back up at Klaus. "What did you do with it? I never take it off." Rebekah was panicking a little.
"I don't know. I didn't touch it." Klaus started to have a frown.
"We need to find it Nik. I want it back."
"Tell me that's not what she needs Rebekah." Klaus was almost shouting at her as her grabbed her arms Rebekah pushed his arms off and flashed over to the coffin she was in. Klaus watched her angrily as she searched every little spot of it for the necklace. With no luck, she knocked it over in anger.

Stefan and Chelsea watched as Rebekah searched for the necklace. Chelsea had a feeling and looked at Stefan. There was a look of concern on his face. 'He must know something I don't' Chelsea thought as she turned her head back to Rebekah, who was frantically searching for the necklace.

I hoped you liked it. I have some thoughts about the next four chapters, for what Chelsea is going to do, but I want to ask you what you think.
We all know that in the next two chapters (based from Disturbing Behavior) Stefan goes off on his own for a little bit. I was thinking about what to do wit Chelsea. Have her spend the whole time with Klaus and Rebekah, or have her sneak off on her own to?
I have sort of the same problem when it comes to the two chapters after that (The Reckoning). Should I have Chelsea stay with Stefan and Elena, or with Klaus when he does what he does (what ever that is). What do you think?

I like reading your reviews. It makes me happy knowing that you are enjoying this story and that you want me to continue writing this. So, with that...
R&R 'till the next update.

...Before I forget, if you ever want to know what day the next chapter is coming, or what other stories I'm working on, check out my profile. I keep it updated and I will put on there when the next chapter of each of the stories that I'm currently working on will come. Please, check it out! (:
