Chapter 19 – Being Who You Really Are

Destiny's POV

I didn't get very much sleep last night because I kept getting visions from the ghost that was haunting me and with each vision it made more and more sense that it was Akelianna. After hearing Damon and Azzie argue I decided to get up and get dressed. I then looked in the mirror to fix my hair and I couldn't help but sit down at the vanity and just stare. My hair was a short black pixie cut with green strips, but I remembered how long my hair had once been. It used to go down to my back in long tight curls, but I've had to change it to keep up with the times. Suddenly I saw a figure in the mirror and when I turned a saw Stefan standing in the doorway. It was then I wished I hadn't slept with my door open.

"What do you want Stefan?" I asked sounding annoyed as I turned back to the mirror and messed with my hair.

"We need to talk" he simply said as he crossed the room to sit in the chair behind me. I looked at him through the mirror and saw pure exhaustion on his face causing me to turn around to face him.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Does something have to be wrong for me to talk to you?" he shot. I threw my hands up and went to turn back around. "I had a dream last night" he said as I fiddled with my hair.

"What kind of dream?"

"The memory kind" he replied. I turned back around to look at him.

"Looks like this memory took a lot out of you" I gestured my hand to him. "What was the memory?"

"Us" I furrowed my brow. "It was about the first time we met when you told me you were different and helped Damon and I communicate with our mother" I couldn't help, but give a small smile. Mary was a wonderful soul that was so full of light.

"I remember, she had stayed behind to keep an eye on y\you and Damon and when I came she knew it was time for her to move on before she became a dark soul. She loved you both very much" I smiled at the memory of sitting in the original Warren manor with him, Damon and Amelia talking to them for Mary.

"It was a great time in my life" he smiled back.

"Then why do you look so stressed by it?"

"I'm stressed for other reasons like that memory made me remember every feeling I've had for you over the years and the feeling I mostly had were love" now his face became serious.

"And what it feels wrong to have loved me because of your precious doppleganger?" my voice was filled with venom as I stood up and turned to look out the window.

"No" he said as I heard him stand up and walk toward me. "Actually after talking it out with Damon it's quite the opposite" He placed his hand on my shoulder and had me face him.

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying it feels wrong to have fellt any feelings for Elena when I have been and will always be in love with you Destiny. I knew from the very first time I laid eyes on you that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. I don't want us apart anymore Destiny. The last fifty years apart were fifty years too long and years we can't get back. I love you and I don't want anyone else and that's the truth" and with that he leaned in to kiss me.

I was shocked at first, but that soon subsided and I kissed him back. It felt as if it were the first time all over again. My heart began to pound against my chest as our lips moved in sync. I felt my face begin to flush as our tongues began to dance until I felt a sharp pain in my head and pulled back short of breath. I looked up to him and he looked concerned.

"We can't" I said as I took a step back.

"Damon told me" he said stepping forward and his face began to change.

I looked at him confused for a moment until I watched him lower his lips to my neck. I knew what was going to happen and I had to let it or Stefan and I wouldn't have a future together and my heart couldn't take that. I felt him kiss my neck before he gently sunk his fangs into the nape of it. He had never bitten me before in fear he would rip my head off like he did when he was in ripper mode. It didn't hurt it was more of feeling of understanding and pleasure. Understanding that he needed what he was taking from me and pleasure from being able to provide it to him and I have to admit him biting me definitely turned me on. I started to feel a bit weak so I played with his hair and told him to stop. He struggled with it at first but soon enough he stopped and looked to me as he licked his lips of my blood.

"You're blood is intoxicating" he looked into my eyes and I smirked.

"I'm going to take that as a compliment"

"It is and the weird thing is I'm not having blood lust" he looked confused and relieved at the same time.

"Damon says my blood has the same effect on him. He gets sustained and doesn't feel the need for more" he looked angry that Damon knew what my blood tasted like. "It was the 80's and Damon was dying and I didn't want him to kill so I fed him, it was no big deal I promise" I explained and a ray of relief seemed to wash over his face.

"Anyway can we be together now? As long as I don't drink animal blood?" he questioned and I smirked. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him close.

"There has been and never will be anyone but you, Stefan Salvatore, for me, and that's just how it is. I love you Stefan and I have never stopped" I whispered in his ear then pulled back to look at him.

He had about as big of a smile as I did. He leaned in and kissed me again and this time I didn't feel the pain in my head which meant this was real and he was no longer denying who he was and what he was. Just then I heard a knocking on my door and we broke the kiss to find Damon standing there. He had that smirk on his face he wore instead of a smile.

"Don't mean to interrupt but Elena is here" he directed at Stefan.

"I don't want to see her" he replied.

"Tell her yourself, I'm not your messenger, and you better hurry because Azzie is down there and she really doesn't like her" Damon spoke. I didn't even look at Stefan I just ran past him and downstairs. I may not like the doppleganger but I didn't want Azzie to hurt her, physically anyway.

So Destiny and Stefan have become one again so what does that mean for Elena? And is Azzie causing hell for Elena right now while they are alone? And when is Katherine going to come in the picture? Or is she in it already? Keep reading to find out!
