The Day It All Ends Part Three - Stefan's POV (7):

6:15pm

He's going to do it. He's finally going to get rid of me.

Stefan couldn't think, couldn't move. He knew that it would have always ended this way. Since his brother had - since he had made his brother turn, Damon had always prophesised that he would be the one to kill Stefan. No one else. And it looked like that would come true.

Stefan distantly heard Mitsao enticing Damon on. "Go on. I really wanted to do it, but I'll let you have the satisfaction." Finally, Mitsao stopped speaking.

Tears threatened his already tearstained face.

Glancing at Bonnie, he saw that she wouldn't be able to keep the spell up much longer.

There was a silence that would have been suffocating, had Bonnie not carried on chanting.

No words to save yourself, brother?

Stefan trembled at the mental voice. Was Damon going to torture him before he killed him? He no longer had the strength to reply, mentally or vocally, and just gazed at his brother, trying to convey his sorrowness and love that he could not do normally.

He tried to convey that he was sorry for what he had said yesterday, that he had never wanted to leave him, never wanted to hurt him, he -

Stop looking at me with those little green puppy eyes, one day you're totally getting black contacts to look more daredevil. Then maybe you'll actually be considered a deadly vampire...Ha, like THAT'LL ever happen.

Before Stefan had the time to register this, Damon became a blur and a weight was lifted off him, accompanied with a piercing scream.

Mitsao's eyes bulged as the stake was driven centimetre by centimetre through her chest, on a beeline to her heart. She reached for Damon, but he batted her hands away.

Glaring ominously, he snarled "How dare you control my emotions, making me feel what you want me to feel, think what you want me to think..." The stake still slid slowly through, and Mitsao was making gurgling noises, unable to stop it. "You think you can come into my life and ruin it? Leave me desolate with no one to turn to except yourself? God forbid I don't live with my constant companion - the rat!" He gave Stefan a quick smirk.

Stefan still had enough energy to roll his eyes.

With a sly smile creeping on his face Damon twisted the stake. Mitsao cried out.

Damon had always been stronger than almost any vampire he knew, certainly in his rage, and Mitsao was clearly nothing without her powers.

Stefan silently willed Damon to get it over and done with, yet Damon was intent on revenge, and he knew nothing he could say would stop him.

Subconsciously, he realised that Bonnie was no longer chanting. Getting slowly up, (and being nearly kocked out by the fatigue), he saw her slumped over.

He was about to alert Damon to the fact that this was a bad thing, when Mitsao started chattering excitedly "Damon, please. I will do whatever you want me to. I'll go away, you'll never hear from me again, I can -" Damon didn't look like he was listening, and the edge almost touched her heart "I can show you Katherine again!"

The stake stopped. Stefan stared agonisingly at this. Mitsao must have known Bonnie had stopped, and soon she'd get her powers back!

Damon's face betrayed a tiny amount of longing. Stefan's heart twisted.

He hated having to cut through Damon's emotions but it was now or never... "Damon, don't believe her, Kath - Katherine's gone and -"

His brother snapped out of it and risked a look back at him "Don't worry little brother, we've already got one doppelganger too many, I'm not going to listen to -"

"Too late." With a triumphant cackle, Mitsao shoved Damon from her so he stumbled into Bonnie and fell to the floor, tangled up. "Your heart betrays your head darling, but don't worry, I wouldn't bring her back. Your mine and we'll still be together." Turning to Stefan she smiled "Just so you know, before I kill you, I never made your brother feel anything. I just influenced his deepest emotions...Doesn't love you much then, does he?"

With two leaps, she bounded to Stefan's side and drove the stake forward.

Before he even had the time to defend himself, a darkness engulfed him with a tumult of roars, screams and pain.
