Chapter Four

Stefan was all alone in the world, at least that was how he felt. Katherine had convinced him to turn the switch back on, although he hadn't wanted to. And he was finding now that it was back on, that even though he only wanted to feel hatred towards Klaus, he couldn't help but feel the guilt and the sadness too. He'd hurt Elena, and she would never forgive him, because she thought that he had betrayed them.

Sometimes, it was almost hard to keep the tears at bay, when he was all alone in the witch house and he had no one. But then, he thought of who had taken it away from him, and all the sadness faded into hatred, at least enough for him to get back on his feet and smile viciously. He was going to get his vengeance, Klaus deserved it. Klaus deserved all of the worst of things in the world that could possibly plague him. A least that was how Stefan felt.

He was thinking about all of his plans to destroy Klaus, when he heard footsteps upstairs, and knew, from the sound of the steps, who it was who was in the witch house before he heard her voice calling out to him once again, "Stefan?"

He didn't answer her, he didn't even know why she was here. He had nothing to say to her, and he was pretty sure that she had nothing to say that would change his mind about anything.

Silently, he moved upstairs, to where she was, and upon her second calling of his name, he finally responded, "What do you want, Elena?"

"I want to talk to you." She said, her expression cautious, guarded. It pained him deep down inside to see her that way. To see her actually afraid of him.

He walked outside, "My answer isn't going to change." He almost hoped she wouldn't follow him, but he knew she would. He sighed silently.

"You didn't betray us." Elena said, staring at her feet as Stefan silently nodded, guessing what she was talking about, "Damon told me."

"And what?" He asked, his voice raising in agitation, "Why are you here, Elena?"

"Klaus wont stop until he gets what he wants. He'll kill Bonnie, Caroline, Alaric, Damon, me… until he gets the coffins, Stefan, you know he will. "

Stefan once again nodded, and then swallowed, watching as Elena transformed before his eyes, as the hurt emerged, the pain at the fact that he knew and just didn't seem to care, "Destroying Klaus is all I have left." He said, aware of how true what he was saying was.

"You had me." She said, finally breaking down and crying.
