PREFACE –
(From my Delena crossover story Too Much Noise in the Bedrrom)
Elijah was standing in front of the fire mantle, both of his hands in his pants pocket. Caroline had welcomed him earlier inside, before informing him that she would inform Stefan and Elena of his arrival.
He heard Elena and Stefan arrived behind him.
"Is it done?" Elena asked him, before seeing him turning his sight toward the three of them.
Elijah nodded his head.
"He's back as a vampire…" He informed them.
Stefan raised one of his eyebrows sensing that something went wrong.
"Everything went ok?" He asked Elijah.
"Not exactly…" Elijah answered them, adding. "The reverse curse worked, but he transformed back as a vampire too quickly…he became a beast, with extreme strength and power….a predator with no memory of what he used be…he already killed two people that were in his path, before escaping for good…"
Elena raised a hand on his mouth to not scream.
"I'll find him…" Stefan replied while directing his walk toward the corridor.
"If you do that…And you manage to find him…He will kill you in an instant. He has no recognition of who you are…" Elijah informed him.
"So, I have to stand there and leave my brother, alone, in the world with no recognition of what he used to be?" Stefan replied mad at this all situation.
"Yes, that is exactly what you have to do…" Elijah strongly said to Stefan.
"Was it one of the sisters?" Elena asked with tears running on her cheeks.
"Yes…" Elijah replied to her.
"He would have never done this…" Elena started, adding. "..He is not himself anymore."
Caroline walked to reach Elena's standing position before putting her right arm around her shoulders as a friendly supportive gesture.
"Thank you for your help…" Stefan said to Elijah, with an empty staring.
Elijah nodded his head.
"I'll contact you in five years, Elena…" Elijah said to Elena, adding. "..Klaus will try to find you again…just before a specific date in five years…"
"I don't care anymore…He can even already kill me now if he wants to…" She answered to him, while staring at the floor in front of her with no expression on her face.
Elijah walked to reach the front door, before passing the arch, and closing the door behind him.
Elena gently pushed Caroline away from her, before running toward the stairs to reach Damon's bedroom, with tears running fluently on her cheeks.
"I'll go…" Stefan said to Caroline, running behind her.
Caroline nodded her head in approval.
Elena entered Damon's bedroom with so much anger inside of her…She reached for every object that she could find before throwing them on the walls, on the floor, in loud noises, with thousands of pieces of wood, glasses, ceramic everywhere.
"NO…" She screamed from the top of her lungs.
Stefan finally reached his brother's bedroom, entered the room, and hold in a firm grip both of Elena's hand.
"Stop, Elena…" He asked her to do.
"No…" She continued to scream.
He held her tight in a firm grip for several minutes, before feeling her strength lowered. She finally crashed in his arms in tears.
He closed his arms on her shaky body, before closing his eyes, and caressing her hair.
"I know Elena…" He murmured to her, with tears running form his eyes, adding. "I lost him too…"
"We won't see him again Stefan…" She mumbled in her teeth, continuing. "…It's my fault; I brought all of this…"
"Shh…." Stefan whispered to calm her down, adding. "No, you did not…He loved you Elena."
Elena raised her head to look at him in the eyes. He smiled at her, before sweeping her tears away from her cheeks. The atmosphere suddenly changed, they stared at each other for a long moment, lost in their mutual painful torment, in search of a feeling that would make them feel alive for a short moment, comfortable with each other. Stefan suddenly lowered his head near hers, before gently putting his lips on hers. She stood still for a short moment, before throwing her arms around his neck while opening her mouth to him. He raised her in his arms, putting his hands under her bottom; before lifting her up in his muscular arms, walking toward Damon's bed. She crossed her legs around his waist, while kissing him passionately on the mouth. He slowly dropped her body on the bed. She raised herself on her knees, before urgently opening the button of his shirt, before letting it slide on the floor, and putting her mouth back on his. He lowered his body on hers, making her lay down on the bed.
At the same time, Caroline entered Damon's bedroom saying:
"Are you ok Elena?" She asked her, before freezing her movements with a hand on her mouth at the vision of Stefan and Elena, who were kissing on Damon's bed. "Oh my God…" She whispered. "I'm sorry, I didn't know…" She mumbled before leaving the bedroom in a rush.
Stefan and Elena stopped kissing, while raising both of their heads to look at Caroline entrance in the bedroom, and departure. Elena pushed Stefan away from her, at the same time Stefan got up on his feet.
"Go after her…" Elena screamed at him, "…explained to her that this didn't mean anything!"
Stefan reached for his shirt on the floor while dressing himself and walking toward the bedroom door.
"I will…" He answered her, obviously worried for Caroline. "…You'll be alright?" He asked her.
"Yes…" Elena said to him, adding. "Go!"
Stefan left the bedroom, leaving her in the middle of Damon's bed, alone and desperate.
"What are you making me do Damon?" She asked loudly, before putting her head in her hands, and bursting into tears.
"A SAD GOODBYE"
Caroline rushed out of the Salvatore house, directing her walk rapidly toward her car; she opened the driver's door, took her place inside, and started the engine without even blinking an eye. Stefan rushed after her, outside his house, before seeing her car pulling out of his driveway; he reached for the keys in his jeans front pocket, before running toward his truck. It was dark already, and with the state of mind that Caroline was at the present moment, he couldn't take the chance of knowing that she was alone on the route.
Caroline was driving, her sight staring at the route in front of her, with tears running fluently on her cheeks. She swept them away with the back of her right hands.
"Damn you, Stefan Salvatore!" She screamed out loud to herself. "….And stupid me, to have allowed myself to fall for you and letting you broke my heart that way!"
It was a dark black night outside, not even a ray of light coming from the moon to help her direct her drive. She had taken an unknown deserted route of Mystic Fall, with no street lights on it. She had no idea what to do next…she couldn't go to her home, or even a public place like the Grill at the moment. She couldn't face Tyler if he was there, or even Matt, and it's not like Tyler did not warn her about Stefan and the fact that he would break her heart…but at the same time, she entered her eyes wide open, into this affair with him…she could not blame it on anybody but herself.
She suddenly raised her sight into the car mirror, being dazzled with a ray of car light, coming from her back seats window. He had followed her! Of course he had, Stefan Salvatore was not a man who would be easily dismissed, or on the backburner, like she basically just did with her departure of his house. It did not take long for her to hear him honked, as a warning to stop and park her car on the side of the route.
"Go to hell!" She screamed while pushing her gas pedal at the maximum.
Stefan pushed his foot on the gas pedal; while angrily turning his steering wheel to the left side of the route, reaching the position beside her car. He honked her again, but she just kept looking straight in front of her, without even giving him a look.
"Caroline Forbes, you can be so stubborn sometimes…" He screamed to himself. "..You are angry at me and you have all the right in the world…But I won't give up… I'll explain myself to you…" He finished screaming, before turning with anger his truck steering wheel, pushing Caroline's car on the right side of the route.
"Are you crazy…" She screamed, while finally looking at him through her car window.
By a hand gesture, Stefan asked her to park her car on the side of the deserted route.
"Alright…" She mumbled in her teeth, before stopping her car on the right side of the route.
She opened the driver's door, stepped out of the car, before angrily directing her walk toward Stefan, who was now standing in front of his truck, both of his hands on his waist.
"Are you crazy? You've scared me to death while pushing my car on the route that way!" She screamed at him, while giving punches on his chest with her fists.
Stefan grabbed both of her hands, while trying to control her anger.
"Caroline! Calm down! You need to listen to me please…" He asked her, while putting his hands on her shoulders to hold her still.
"Don't touch me!" She warned him, while pushing him on his truck with her vampire speed.
"Ok…Please calm down…You are upset, and you have all the right to be, but Caroline, please let me explain…" Stefan said to her, amazed by the strength she just put in her present move, to push him so hard on his truck; she was obviously more than angry at him!
"You don't owe me any explanation Stefan Salvatore, just let me go and don't follow my car!" She continued screaming at him.
"I can't…" He started explaining to her, while passing a nervous hand on his hair and adding "…I have to explain…what you saw, is not what you think…Please listen to me…"
"What is not?" Caroline asked him, while crossing her arms in front of her chest as a protective gesture.
"It didn't mean anything to her, Caroline." He explained to her.
Caroline started laughing sarcastically at him.
"It didn't mean anything to her? Wow! What a relief then Stefan…And to you? Did it mean something to you?" She asked him, while locking her eyes with his, before seeing him lowering his head to look at his feet.
"Not what I meant…" He mumbled in his teeth.
"Yap…." Caroline exclaimed, while trying to hold her tears, adding. "…that is what I thought…"
"It is way more complicated than what you think, Caroline!" He responded to her.
"Actually Stefan, I don't think it is…Your brother just left town with no memories of who he is…it is the perfect time to get back into the good grace of Miss Elena Gilbert, and in the meantime in her bed! Aren't you thinking so, Stefan?" Caroline firstly asked him, continuing. "…You know what? Let's just forget the last few days we passed together…I just hope that I was enough of an entertainment for you…But, I understand…I had to pay you for the services that you gave me, for helping bring back Tyler!"
"It is not like you to talk like this Caroline…" Stefan said to her, while shaking his head left to right in disbelief.
"Well, I thought that Tyler was wrong when he was warning me about you…all this time we all thought that Damon was the egoistical manipulative brother, when in fact you are!" She said at him, while sweeping her tears away from her cheeks.
"You don't mean what you just said…" He replied to her, with tears filling his eyes also.
"Yes I do!" She lashed out at him, adding. "You played me for a fool, you took what you wanted from me, and then you toss me on the side like garbage!"
"I always wanted to protect you, Caroline…I warned you, hundred of times, to not get too attach to me…" Stefan replied angrily at her.
"You warned me?" She responded to him, with both of her hands on her waist, adding. "…Unbelievable, you have the audacity to say this to me now? After what we shared together…Well, sorry to disappoint you Stefan, unfortunately, I care deeply for you…I'm maybe a vampire now, but I still have all my human feelings inside of me…And I can't shut down what I feel for you…I care for you, more than I should, obviously!" She continued, while walking nervously on the deserted route. "I care so much that …" She stopped and locked her eyes with his. "...That I fell in love with you…" She confessed to him, with tears running fluently on her cheeks.
Stefan suddenly closed his eyes and fists, without being able to stare at her, especially with all the hurt he was seeing in her eyes… He always has been afraid of hurting her that way. He suddenly reopened his eyes, while walking toward her standing position, taking her face in both of his hands.
"Caroline…" He started whispering to her, while looking straight into her eyes, adding. "Don't love me that way…I'm no good for you…I will only bring misery in your life!"
"So you'll have no problem if I end up with Tyler then?" She angrily responded to him, adding "…Or, is it that I can't love you, and is forbidden to love anybody else also, Stefan?"
"It's not what I said…" Stefan angrily mumbled in his teeth, while walkind back and forth in front of her.
"It's not!" Caroline screamed at him. "You practically stamped your name on my forehead, as your property in front of Tyler in Richmond!"
"I was trying to protect you from him…" He started explaining to her, continuing. "He'll break your heart in thousands of pieces, Caroline!"
"And you think that you did not break it thousands of pieces yourself?" She asked him.
"I'm sorry…" He whispered to her. "I never wanted to… Caroline…You are my best friend…You're the only person that I was able to completely be myself with…But, I made a mistake…I let my miserable life and problems fell on your shoulders too many times…"
"I want to be there for you, Stefan!" She started explaining to him. "…You are my best friend also…but…everything changed for me…" She added before lowering her head.
"I'll leave…" Stefan said more to himself than her.
Caroline raised her head to look at him, surprised by its recent admission.
"What you mean you'll leave?" She asked him.
"I'll leave Mystic Fall…" He whispered to her. "…Me and my brother we've done enough damage here…I need to leave, and try to find him…wherever he is…"
"What about Elena?" Caroline asked him.
"We're not together anymore, Caroline…Damon's departure won't change her feelings for him…She's madly in love with my brother…I'll come back in five years…She'll need all the help to go against Klaus…" Stefan explained to her.
"Seeing you and Elena, in Damon's bedroom, it didn't seem like nothing to me…I seriously prefer seeing you back with her, than not seeing you anymore. Please don't leave!" Caroline begged him.
"What you witnessed was a mistake from both of us…It didn't mean anything, Caroline…We were only two souls trying to burry the unbearable pain of loosing him…" Stefan continued explaining to her.
"So, let me see if I understand you correctly…You comforted each other, by jumping each other bones?" She asked him.
"It was easier for us…" Stefan mumbled to her, while avoiding looking at her in the eyes.
"So…If I hadn't walk in the room, would you have stop, or, would have been intimate by making love to her?" Caroline asked him.
Stefan looked at her in the eyes, before admitting.
"We would have slept together…probably…" He responded to her. "…but, it would have been the biggest mistake made by both of us, Caroline." He added, truthfully to her. "I ran after you the minute I saw you in the room…"
"Ya…You ran after your pity case of the day!" She answered him, while lowering her head.
"Don't say that, please…" Stefan asked of her. "…You are more important to me, than what you think, believe me..."
"But not important enough to be with me!" She continued while locking her eyes with his. "It's ok, I'm used to it…I'm always the second best choice…And I will always be."
"Caroline…How can you even think that way about yourself?" Stefan asked her.
"How do you think?" Caroline asked him.
"I…I can't be with you Caroline, I'm empty inside, and you know it better than anybody else…I'll bring you pain and misery…You deserve way better than this…" Stefan replied to her.
Caroline lowered her head to look at her feet, before raising it to look at him.
"Let me go home, now…Please…" She asked of him.
"I'll drive behind you…" Stefan whispered to her.
"I can find my way home alone!" Caroline replied to him, while turning, directing her walk toward her car, before taking place, and starting her car engine.
Stefan looked at her car driving away from him, before taking place himself in his car to follow her at a distance, making sure that she was driving safe toward her home.
It was nearly nine o'clock at night and Caroline was already on the route to get back to her house. She had met Bonnie and Jeremy at the Grill, but couldn't even follow their conversation about Damon departure, his devil transformation, and the upcoming sacrifice that would take place in five years. She decided to leave, and get back to her home. She did not received any news from Stefan since their last encounter, she had no idea if he had already left Mystic Fall or not, and she was trying to convince herself that she could care less about him…when in fact, it was the only thing that she was thinking day and night. Tyler had tried several times to contact her, by leaving several messages on her cell phone, but she never answered or called him. As for Elena, they have talked, but neither of them had mentioned the awkward scene in Damon's bedroom. She just had mentioned to Caroline that she was thinking of leaving Mystic Fall to study the medical field at Boston University.
Her staring sight on the route was suddenly disturbed by sirens lights of a police patrol car on the left side of the road. She parked her car behind the police car, before stepping outside her driver seat.
"George?" She called the policeman in front of her.
"Oh…Miss Caroline…Please don't come nearer…I contacted the Sheriff Forbes five minutes ago, your mother is on her way!" He informed her.
"What is the problem George?" She asked him, while trying to look behind him at what seems to be a victim body.
"Horrible death, it seems Miss Caroline…An animal attack I guess….The poor girl is covered by blood, and there are noticeable marks on the left side of her neck." George responded to her.
"You don't say …." Caroline said to him, while approaching his standing position, taking him by the shoulders to make him turned to look at her. "Now…You will stay in front of your car and wait for me, am I clear?" She compelled him to do.
"Yes." He answered to her.
Caroline rushed to reach the victim lying emplacement, while kneeling beside her body. She put a hand on her chest: Stefan, she automatically thought. The girls body was covered by blood, the wounds were profound and not esthetically done…Only an anger vampire could have made such a mess with his victim. Caroline reached the wrist of the poor victim to confirm her death, when she suddenly felt a slow but steady heart rhythm.
"Oh my God, you are still alive!" She screamed to herself, while tearing her own wrist open with her teeth, before putting her open veins on the victim mouth. "Drink my blood!" She ordered her to do.
The victim was lying still for a couple of seconds, before moving slowly her lips and starting to drink Caroline's blood.
"That's good…" Caroline whispered to her, while elevating her head to help her.
"What happened?" The girl mumbled incoherently to Caroline, while trying to stand up.
"You need to rest!" Caroline said to her, while pushing her to lie down.
"I don't understand?" She asked Caroline, while looking at her straight in the eyes.
Caroline took the opportunity to compel her, by locking her eyes with hers.
"You'll only remember being attacked by a wild dog…this explains the blood on your clothes, now repeat what I just said?" She ordered the girl to do.
"I've been attacked by a wild dog…" The girl repeated to Caroline.
"Good! Now you'll stay at your lying position till a woman named Sheriff Forbes will come to see you…Is it clear?" Caroline asked her.
"Yes! I'll stay in my lying position till Sheriff Forbes arrived!" The girl repeated to her.
"Good!" Caroline said while standing up, and reaching George's standing position.
"You'll wait for Sheriff Forbes, and you'll bring her to the victim that is alive…you made a mistake earlier by telling the Sheriff that the girl was dead, you'll apologize and tell her that the girl was attacked by a wild dog!" She compelled the man, leaving rapidly the crime scene, before the arrival of her mother, directing her driving a minute later, at high speed toward the Salvatore's boarding house.
When Caroline arrived at the Salvatore house, the front door was half open; she pushed it, while slowly directing her walk toward the parlor room.
"Oh my God…" She exclaimed to herself, while putting her right hand on her mouth.
The room had been trashed, broken glasses, furniture on the floor, ripped curtains. Her instinct had been right; Stefan was the one who attacked the girl. She walked toward the stairs before taking the direction of his bedroom. She pushed the bedroom's door, before slowly entering inside, and closing the door behind her.
"Stefan?" She called.
No one answered her. The room was a copycat version of the parlor room downstairs; pretty much all the furniture had been trashed, except for the bed. She suddenly noticed a ray of light coming from under the bathroom door; she pushed the door, while entering the room, before seeing Stefan naked, below the shower head's water, his knees elevated on his chest, his head lowered on his knees, while his arms where encircling them.
"Oh my God, Stefan…" Caroline screamed at him, while rushing to his side, trying to keep her balance on the slippery bathroom floor, and grabbing a body towel at the same time. "How long have you been under the water…" She firstly asked him, while closing the water faucets. "…The water is icy cold!"
"I can turn it off Caroline…I don't feel it…I don't care…What are you doing here?" He mumbled almost incoherently to her.
"I know you can turn it off Stefan! But still…I don't want to see you like this!" She answered him, while wrapping his body in the towel.
"Then leave me alone…Go away…I killed someone!" He asked her to do, and confessed, before pushing her away with his right arm.
"No…You did not…" Caroline replied to him, while pushing his arm, and starting to rub the towel on his wet body to dry him up.
Stefan raised his head to look at Caroline.
"What?" He whispered to her.
"She's alive…I arrived at the scene, George one of my mother's colleague was already there….I was able to compel him, and I noticed after that the girl was still alive…I fed her by blood! She'll be ok!" Caroline explained to him. "You have to get up, Stefan!"
"You're sure? She'll be ok?" He asked her.
"Yes…I'm sure!" She responded to him. "Now…You have to get up and get out of the shower…" She told him to do, once again.
"What are you doing here? How did you know?" Stefan asked her.
"I just knew…I figure it had to be you! Damon is now long gone…and you are…" Caroline answered him.
Stefan raised himself on his feet, while taking the towel in his hands, making Caroline blush and turn her sight away from his naked body, before wrapping the towel around his waist.
"…Struggling with my riper addiction of human blood…That is what you were going to say, isn't it Caroline?" He responded to her, while putting both of his hands on the sink cabinet, raising his sight to look at her in the bathroom mirror.
"I thought there was no more awkwardness between us concerning that part of your past…" Caroline said to him.
"Oh…but there is no more secret on me that you don't already know, my dear Caroline…" He firstly said to her. "…That is why I want you far away from me as possible." He added harshly to her, trying to protect her by making her leave.
Caroline turned her sight away from Stefan's angry look in the mirror, before rushing to leave the bathroom, with tears running out of her eyes. She reached Stefan's bedroom door, opened it, before seeing the door being rapidly closed in front of her eyes, by Stefan's right hand on it.
"I'm sorry…" She heard him murmured in her left ear, while feeling his left arm encircling her waist, bringing her body in full contact with his bare chest. "I always try to protect you from myself, by pushing you away…"
"I just want to help you Stefan…" Caroline whispered in a tearful voice, putting her hands on the arm placed on her waist.
"I know…" Stefan murmured to her, his face in the hollow of her left shoulder.
Caroline lowered her sight on the floor, before noticing a travel bag with clothes thrown on top of it.
"You're leaving?" She asked him.
"Yes…tomorrow…" He whispered back to her, before detaching himself of his grip on her. "I'm sorry…I didn't mean to scare you Caroline, You can go...and…" He mumbled to her, without being able to finish his sentence, while lowering his head, and passing a nervous hand on his hair.
Caroline turned completely to face him, while taking his face in her hands, raising it to make him look at her.
"Talk to me…" She whispered to him.
"I can't Caroline…" He said to her, while turning his head right to left, before taking her hands away from his face. "…I can't always put this on you, that is why I'm leaving…I don't have control over it anymore…"
"But you are wrong Stefan…" Caroline exclaimed, adding. "…You have control over it…If not, you wouldn't be in here, fighting it, like you are doing right now, and talking about it with me!"
"Next time, you thing that the victim will live, Caroline…I don't think so!" Stefan said to her, while walking nervously in the bedroom.
"Klaus already took Damon's life away; don't give him the power to wrap you in this nightmare Stefan…You better than him!" Caroline replied to him.
"Sometimes I wonder if I'm not the same monster that he is…" He said to Caroline, while looking at her in the eyes.
"I don't think you are…I know that you are better than him...You were there for me when I turned…" Caroline tried to convince him.
She locked her eyes with his for a short moment, before turning her sight away while adding:
"I wish you well…Be careful…and take care of yourself, ok?" She whispered to him, with tears in her eyes, while turning to leave the bedroom.
"Caroline?" Stefan called her.
"Yes?" She answered him, while turning to look at him.
"Even if we have our differences, me and Tyler, if you need someone, I know he'll be there for you…" He confessed to Caroline.
"I know…Will you say goodbye to him?" She sarcastically asked him, while sweeping away her tears from her cheeks.
"I'll pass, if you don't mind…" He answered to her, with a small laugh.
"I understand…Considering your last fight…It would be wiser…" She answered him, with a timid smile on her face. "…Bye Stefan!" She added before leaving the bedroom.
An empty feeling reached Stefan soul at the minute Caroline stepped out of the bedroom. He paced around in his bedroom, while passing repeatedly and nervously his right hand in his hair, for what seems to be an eternity for him.
"Damn it!" He exclaimed, before punching several times the bedroom wall with his fists. Feeling a presence in the bedroom, he suddenly turned to look at Caroline, who was standing under the bedroom arch door.
"Now, that, you know…will leave marks on the wall for sure!" She sarcastically said to him.
"What are you…" He mumbled without being able to finish his sentence, watching her walk rapidly toward his standing position, before throwing herself in his arms a second later. He instinctively wrapped his arms around her shaky body, a hand around her waist, and the other one in her hair. "Oh Caroline…You shouldn't be back..." He whispered to her, while contradicting his saying by kissing her hair.
"I can't leave you now…" She mumbled to him.
"It will be harder later, Caroline…" He answered her, while caressing her back.
"I don't care…Let me stay with you tonight…Please!" She asked him, her head on his shoulders. "…Let forget that you are leaving, and let just be together, like we used to be these last days…"
He pushed her gently away from his chest, before locking his eyes with hers. Then, he slowly put his lips on each of her eyelids, to kiss her watery eyes, before lowering his sweet kisses on her cheeks, and left side of her neck. Caroline pushed his head in a nearer proximity of her neck, while grabbing the body towel on his waist, before pushing it on his hips and seeing it fell on the floor a second later.
"Oops…" She playfully said to him, adding. "…I'm so sorry!"
"Miss Forbes…" Stefan whispered to her, his lips devouring every inch of her neck. "…You are fishing for troubles, young lady."
"Am I?" She asked him, while raising one of her legs on his pelvis bone, before biting the tender part of his left ear lobe.
Stefan put both of his hands under her summer dress skirt, while grabbing her bottom, before elevating her body to help her cross her legs around his waist. He then carried her slowly toward the bed.
"You'll be the end of me someday Caroline Forbes…" He whispered to her, at a near inch of her mouth, before dropping her body on the bed, while lying on top of her.
"And you the end of me…" She whispered back to him, before putting slowly her lips on his. His tongue parted her lips, before passionately take possession of her mouth, and while sliding one of his hands between her thighs, caressing the tender inside part, before delicately caress her folds through her panties.
"Stefan…" She whispered to him, while grabbing his hair with both of her hands.
"Caress me, Caroline…" He asked her to do, while putting one of her hands on his chest. She suddenly took him by surprise by pushing and rolling him with her vampire speed beside her on the bed, with her sitting in top of him a second later.
"Look at you, Miss Forbes…I didn't know you had this sexual roughness inside of you?" Stefan said sarcastically, while watching her get out of the bed, and getting rid of her dress in front of him, his left forearm placed on his forehead.
"There's a lot you still don't know about me, Mister Salvatore!" She replied to him, letting her bra fall on the floor, while sliding her panties a second later on her legs. Then, she slowly and seductively got back on the bed, while sliding her body on his, before being surprised and pushed by his vampire strength under him, both of her arms held in a firm grip by his left hand, in top of her head, while his right hand was caressing her breasts.
"But you know that I love to be in charge, aren't you?" He whispered in her left ears.
"Oh yes…" She whispered to him, while feeling the head of his hard member slowly sliding on her folds to enter her sensitive and wet walls. "..I know that fact about you…"
"Good…" He murmured to her, while pushing himself a little bit farther in her, before sliding his member out of her again.
"Stefan, please..." She begged him, while closing her eyes and turning her head from right to left on the bed, in pure agony and desire of feeling him enter her completely.
"Be patient, sweetheart…I don't want to rush it, Caroline…" He started whispering to her. "I want to memorize and savor this moment…" He added to her, while slowly entering once again in her.
"Well…You'll take time to savor later on…" She responded to him, while elevating her pelvic, forcing Stefan to enter himself completely in her silkiness wet walls in a finale push.
"Now…that is much better…" She whispered, smiling at him, while crossing her arms around his neck.
"You're bad to the bones, Caroline Forbes…" He responded to her, while increasing his in and out movements in her.
"It takes one to know one…" She responded to him, while kissing him passionately, before crossing her legs around his waist, giving him the chance to push himself deeper into her, in a lover erotic dance. They both mastered the ways of guessing each other needs, and after a while, they crashed into each other arms with a mix of happiness and sadness inside of them.
Stefan turned his sight, noticing that she had fallen deeply in sleep beside him, her blonde hair scattered on his bed pillow. He approached his hand on her left cheek, before slowly caress it, then he rose on his feet out of his bed, walked toward his desk, before opening one of its drawer, took a pair of scissor, and walked back toward Caroline's lying position. He took a strand of her blond hair in his hands, before delicately cutting it with the scissor.
She would never notice that a piece of her was gone, and would always be with him, wherever he would be in the future. He needed to have this strand of hair with him; it would in a way give him strength and courage to follow his own path.
Caroline had left Stefan's bedroom very early the said night they had passed together, she couldn't tell him goodbye again, especially face to face, so she had silently dressed herself, walked back to the bed, and had put a sweet kiss to tell him silently goodbye, before stepping out of the bedroom. Then, only then, she had allowed herself to cry.
Stefan Salvatore was a proud man who could not be told of what to do or what to feel…and she always knew that about him. Nevertheless, she couldn't erase their friendship either. That is why she had decided to stay that last night with him, regardless of her own deep feelings for him; she couldn't erase their strong friendship, by trashing it. So she decided to simply let it be, what they have been the last few days, friends with benefits, even if she hated it this, more than anything!
Early in the morning of the present day, Caroline had wake up with a strange vibe inside of her, a presumption that something would happen today. Stefan had left Mystic Fall since several days already…but his presence was still so alive in her soul. It was several hours later that she received a strange and odd call on her cell phone from a certain Mister Johnson, notary of profession, asking to meet her as soon as possible at the Salvatore's home to finalize some legal papers.
Now, she was standing and ringing the bell of the front Salvatore's door, hoping to clarify what must have been a huge mistaken identity, or an administrative error probably made by the notary agency.
The door opened wide in front of her eyes, then appeared a smiling, middle aged man, who showed Caroline, by a hand gesture, to enter inside.
"Miss Forbes I presume?" He asked her.
"Yes…Mr. Johnson I guess?" She answered him, while shaking his hand.
"Nice to meet you…" He answered to her, in a perfect, rehearse, professional speech, adding. "…If you could follow me into the parlor room, I could explain and finalize the agreement."
Shivers passed through Caroline's body when she entered the parlor room. She got rid of her jacket and took a sitting place in front of Mr. Johnson, while hiding her shaking hands under it. Every furniture, every smell, every empty spaces of this room was for her a vivid reminder of Stefan.
"I think…" She started with a shaky voice. "…I think there is a mistake…I really don't understand the reasons you've call me here…" She asked him.
"Of course, my biggest apologies to you for not having been more talkative on the phone, regarding the reason of your presence in this house today, but Mr. Salvatore gave me strict instruction concerning this present procuration and legalization." He explained to her.
Caroline opened her mouth in disbelief.
"What exactly …" She started all puzzled, adding. "…Mr. Johnson, what do you mean exactly?"
"Mr. Stefan Salvatore has legally, given this house to you Miss Forbes."
"What? No! I don't want it!" She exclaimed, while getting up and pacing back and forth in front of Mr. Johnson sitting position. "I don't want this house! He's doing that …because it is the only way he's able to have a finale grip on me! I know him!"
"I'm sorry…I'm only here for the legal aspect…Unfortunately, not the personal one." The man mumbledto her.
"I'm sorry…" Caroline replied to him, while shaking her head in disbelief, asking. "…Is there a way for me of taking myself out of this….With whatever legal paper stuff?"
"Yes…You can decline that this house become yours…but, then, the outcome that Mr. Salvatore asked for, is for the land of this house to be sold to any investors interested of purchasing it!" The notary man explained to her.
"No!" She frantically said to Mr. Johnson, adding. "He can't do that! His brother could come back…He, himself, could come back…It's like saying that he will never come back to me!" She explained to him, while taking her sitting place once again, her hands on her knees, while staring at them. "..I'm sorry…So, I have to accept to be legally the owner of this house, or the house could be destroyed, by future investors, who wants to rebuild on the land, am I right?"
"Yes." The notary man answered her. "Miss Forbes, listen…if you need to think about it and take a couple of day, it is fine with me…There is absolutely no rush in this legal transaction."
Caroline raised her head to look at the man standing in front of her.
"I don't need time!" She whispered to him, adding. "I'll sign the papers…I'll take the house!"
"Very well…" The man said to her, while reaching for a file in his leatherbriefcase. "…Now if you could sign right here and here also…"
The man left after a half hour of making her sign papers, and explaining all the current transaction to her. She finally walked with him toward the front door; he turned to look at her one last time, before handing to her something that he was holding in his hands.
"I guess congratulation is in order Miss Forbes…" He said to her, adding while putting the keys of the house in her hands. "You are the owner of this house, if you have any unanswered question regarding the transaction, don't hesitate to call me, this is my business card." He explained to her, while giving the card to Caroline. "I wish you a nice day Miss Forbes!" He finished while leaving the house.
"Thank you!" Carline was able to answer, while closing the door behind him, and staring at the keys that were in her hands. She walked back to the parlor room, before letting her body fall on the floor, elevating her legs and knees near her chest, while putting her head on them, and starting to cry. "Why did you do this to me Stefan…And, how can I forget you if I stay in your house?" She mumbled to herself in a tearful voice.
The room was now completely in the dark, but Caroline was still after all these hours at the same sitting position on the floor. She heard the front house door being open, but she did not raised her head to look at the intruder, she heard a light being open also, then she heard foot steps reaching her sitting position, before feeling someone kneeling at her side.
"Caroline?" A voice called her.
She raised her head to look at Tyler who was now beside her.
"Your mom told me you were in here? Salvatore left?" Tyler asked her.
"Yes!" She answered him while nodding her head, and sweeping her tears from her cheeks. "He gave …He gave me his house as a departure gift, isn't it great?" She mumbled to him.
"I told you so many times that he would crush your heart Caroline!" Tyler replied to her, while caressing her hair, and taking her in his arms. "Shh…." He murmured to her to calm her down. "…You want me to leave you alone"
"No…Please stay…" She whispered to him, while putting her arms around his neck.
"Ok…I won't leave! I'll stay with you for as long as you need me…" Tyler whisper to her, rising himself up on his feet, before sliding his right hand and arm under her knees to elevate her in his arms, before walking toward the stairs to bring her to an upstairs bedroom.
"You need to rest Caroline, let me put you to bed in one of the upstairs room…" He said to her, while holding her in his arms, and taking the first step on the stairs.
"Not Stefan's bedroom …" She murmured to him, while falling asleep in his arms.
"Don't worry; I won't bring you in his bedroom…Soon he will only be a far memory…I promise you." He answered her, while putting a kiss on her forehead.
- EPILOGUE -
Stefan entered the all American pub, put down on the floor his traveling bag and backpack while nodding his head to the bartender as a greeting gesture.
"What can I serve you, young man?" A guy wearing tattoos asked Stefan.
"A whisky please…" Stefan asked him, while getting rid of his leather jacket and putting it on the bar stool beside him, he then sit down, taking his head in his hands, before sensing a disturbing presence beside him.
"I'll take the same as my friend here…" A voice called the bartender, before taking a sitting position to the left side of Stefan.
Stefan raised slowly his head, before staring angrily into Klaus's eyes.
"How are you, Stefan?" He asked him with a sarcastic smile on his lips. "How's your brother, Damon, isn't it?"
Stefan closed his fists in anger, and took a good look at the pub room. At his left, a couple of people were sitting at a near table, enjoying beers and hamburgers, at his right at the other side of the counter, three men, who seemed to be usual customers, were enjoying a couple of tequila shots, beside the entrance door, and the exit door, couple of vampires were standing with their sights directed at him and Klaus.
"Now that you evaluated the danger of the present situation…and the fact that if you would try to escape…humans lives would be sacrificed…I hope we can have a little chat?" Klaus said to him, while taking a sip of his whisky.
"What do you want?" Stefan mumbled in his teeth.
"Now is this a way of greeting an old friend?" Klaus asked him sarcastically. "I heard that your brother had managed to stay alive…courtesy of Elijah, I presume? But the reverse curse was more awful than dead itself, if I'm not mistaken?" Klaus asked him.
Stefan kept staring at the glass in his hands, without answering him.
"You are still not very talkative, aren't you, Stefan?" Klaus said to him, adding. "…So how's your little blond friend? What was her name…Caroline, I think?"
"Leave her out of it!" Stefan warned him with a calm voice.
"For a price, I could easily leave her out of it!" Klaus replied to him, while taking a couple of peanuts in his hand, from a near bowl place on the bar counter. "You have a soft spot for this young vampire, aren't you? And plus, you know that she wouldn't last a second in my hands."
"Go to the point, Klaus!" Stefan angrily mumbled in his teeth.
"Why the city of Baltimore… It took me for ever to find you, Stefan?" Klaus asked him.
Stefan kept silent.
"I heard that several unexplained deaths occurred in the city the past few weeks…Could it be that you are thinking of finding your long lost brother here?" He asked Stefan. "If so…you realize that he will probably kill you in, let say, less than one minute...He's a monster with no soul now my friend."
"It takes one to know one, I suppose…And that should make you happy…Me, my brother, out of your way, for your devious satanic mind to be satisfied…" Stefan said to Klaus while drinking his whisky.
"But…on the contrary 'Mon ami' – French expression that means: my friend…I have so many plans for you and me in the future, you wouldn't even imagine..." Klaus responded to him while putting a friendly hand on his left shoulders.
Stefan got rid of the intrusive hand by pushing it away.
"Now …See how not cooperative you are with me…If you could just for now give me a little bit of information…I would grandly appreciate it…" Klaus asked him.
"Go fishing your information somewhere else!" Stefan answered him.
"I'm sensing a physical tension each time that I am near you?" Klaus sarcastically said to Stefan. "How's the urge for human blood by the way?"
Stefan rose on his feet while reaching for a twenty dollars bill in his front jeans pocket.
"The only physical tension that you are sensing is the anger inside of me of not being able to kill you for what you did to my brother." Stefan angrily replied to him.
"I'll contact you in a couple of years Stefan…You and me we have a destiny to fulfill!" Klaus responded to him. "Now, as for the question that needed an answer…." Klaus firstly asked him, adding. "What is Elijah's whereabouts? He has something that is mine, and that I want to take back from him."
Stefan smile sadistically to him.
"Katherine I suppose? Well…Sorry, I can't help you …I have no idea…"
"Mm…Then, I am guessing that the nice couple sitting at the near table will have to die of a painful but quick death…" He responded to Stefan, while smiling and showing a hand gesture to his vampire men who were approaching the couple.
"No…" Stefan angrily said to him, while holding his arm with a firm grip for a second, before lowering his head to pick up his backpack and traveling bag on his shoulders.
"England..." He murmured in his teeth before directing his walk to leave the pub.
"Well…that was not so difficult, wasn't it?" Klaus said to him with a big sarcastic smile on his face, while looking at his departure. "…Till we meet again, Stefan!"
First, deepest apologies to have taken so long to update this last chapter, I am a firm believer that a chapter should be written with the good condition that goes with it…and not only because an update is needed…I have too much respect for the readers…and I needed to find the right moment to write it…to give you the best!
