Stefan woke up in Klaus's bed, realizing that the hybrid wasn't next to him. He went to check his phone next to him when Klaus walked in. "Where did you go?", Stefan asked as he put down his phone back on the nightstand and leaned against the backboard of the bed, waiting for Klaus to join him. He was way too tired to get up yet. "I didn't have any blood bags so I had to go and steal them from one of the hospitals. You haven't fed since you turned your humanity back on." He joined Stefan on the bed carrying three blood bags for them.
The veins underneath Stefan's eyes started to show at the sight of blood. He had forgotten to drink the last few days, maybe the result of his subconscious trying to avoid it. He didn't want to drink blood since the last ripper bender and the sight of blood bags just made him extremely anxious inside. If he wasn't a vampire, he was pretty sure he'd puke. Stefan turned his head away to hide his reaction to the blood from Klaus while he tried to control his body's vampire instinct to blood.
He still had a little of Klaus's blood in him from the night before and he guessed that he could still last a couple of more days without needing to feed. He didn't want to feed yet although he knew Klaus would probably disagree with his reasoning. He didn't even want animal blood anymore. He hated himself for how strongly he craved the blood and he was desperately trying to avoid having to drink it again even if he knew it was only a matter of time.
"I'm fine. I drank some of your blood last night." Stefan said while still avoiding eye contact. He was trying to keep his fangs from tearing out of his gums. "You need human blood and mine hardly counts. It's not killing anyone, Stefan." Stefan's eyes had mostly gone back to normal but they were still slightly darkened as he looked slightly more at Klaus but still kept his eyes off the blood. "I don't want it.", Stefan said more annoyed and perhaps angry than he intended to be. Klaus watched as Stefan kept trying to fight his instincts. He knew how hungry Stefan had to be. "Please love, you need to drink it." Klaus stared into Stefan's eyes, silently begging him to a least drink some of it. He didn't want him to starve.
Stefan's head began to hurt. The smell of the blood was taking over and he was slowing losing control. He was extremely hungry despite trying to fight it. He needed to get away from the strong smell of it. "Get it the hell away from me!" Stefan yelled as he hoped that Klaus would leave him alone. He couldn't fight it any longer, and before Klaus could even reply or even do what Stefan had asked, Stefan had sunk his teeth into one of the blood bags, nearly tearing it apart to empty the blood pouring out of it. He quickly tore into the second one, finishing it off even faster than the first one. Klaus observed his lover as the last empty blood bag fell out of Stefan's hand onto the bed. Stefan looked at him for a second with regret. A second later he had vamp speed out of the room and out of Klaus's sight.
Stefan didn't really know where he was going, especially with his lack of knowledge of the city, but he needed to be away from there. The taste of blood was still stuck in his mouth. He hated that he couldn't control it. He didn't want to feed yet he still did, and he probably still would have if they were people. When he was hungry nothing else mattered anymore. Every thought of his had to be controlled by hunger in some way. He was pissed at Klaus for showing him the damn blood in the first place. He knew perfectly well what blood did to him. Stefan had said to get the stupid thing away from him. It wasn't his fault Klaus never gave him a chance to make his own decisions.
Klaus stood by the bedroom window, looking out over the city. He had decided to wait a little bit before going to find Stefan. He knew Stefan was mad at him again. It's not like he had asked Stefan to feed off somebody, it was just a blood bag. He was worried about him. Klaus knew that he had been avoiding feeding and he was getting weaker because of it. Vampires aren't supposed to go more than a day without feeding, Stefan had gone three. What did Stefan expect him to do?
He decided to see if Hope was still asleep with Hayley and then a least call his sorta boyfriend. He assumed Stefan must had just took a walk or something but he was still nervous that the wolfs might go after him again. Hayley still wasn't barely speaking to him after he had saved Stefan's ass several days ago. He walked into Hope's room, she was still sleeping. Hayley was playing on her laptop while she sat in a chair by Hope's crib. Klaus guessed she was still waiting for their daughter to wake up.
"Any particular reason, the vampire who killed my friend is sleeping in our house?", Hayley stared at him with a death glare. She must have had seen Stefan come in with him the night before. Klaus shrugged, "He's staying here for a while. No need to be jealous." Hayley put her laptop by her and stood up. She stared to yell but then slightly lowered her voice remembering the sleeping baby next to them. "Do you really think that this is good for Hope? Every vampire in the world knows him as the ripper who kills everyone in sight! What do you think is going to happen when he kills someone else in the quarter and it starts a war? Hope is not going to grow up with that!" "He's staying Hayley. He won't kill anyone." Hayley rolled her eyes at him. "He didn't seem to care when he killed the last time. Why are you even in here anyway?"
"I'm going to go out for a little bit. I just wanted to make sure you were here when Hope woke up.", Klaus replied ignoring the first part of her sentence. "Yes, I can easily take care of Hope without you. So you can go spend time with your new homicidal boyfriend who's going to ruin everything." Klaus left deciding not to spend his morning arguing with Hayley. He was sick of everyone yelling at him. He decided to try to call Stefan considering that he had no idea where he went.
Stefan stopped by a bench near the side walk. He was still starving which just made him more annoyed. He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, it had to be Klaus. He waited a minute deciding whether or not, he wanted to pick up. He finally decided to and pulled the phone out of his pocket. "What do you want?", Stefan said into the cellphone. "Where are you?, Klaus replied with his own question. "Not exactly sure. Doesn't really matter because I wouldn't tell you anyways.", Stefan hanged up and shoved the phone back in his pocket.
He started walking down the side walk. He was still extremely hungry and the blood he had just tasted only made it worse. He started walking slightly faster as he looked at all the people. Every part of him wanted to tear them all to pieces. He was about to vamp speed out of there when a girl walked in front of him. She was human and looked like she just aged past her high school years. "I know you're hungry.", the brown haired girl whispered as she pulled out a knife and slit her own throat, leaving blood gushing out of it. He wanted to run somewhere else but he couldn't. All his body would let him do is stare at the gushing blood that was spilling from the girl's wound.
She started to faint and Stefan grabbed her last minute and released his fangs into her neck. Something always took over when he feed, he knew what he was doing but he wasn't able to stop even if he wanted to. Everything he ever felt during those moments was taken over by the taste of blood. He couldn't think about when to stop, or to only feed off of one person, everything his mind was telling him to do was always ignored. The girl dropped to Stefan's feet, drained of blood. People on the streets started to look towards him and the girl he had just killed.
Stefan started to panic and went after the few people that were on the street that had saw what he had done. He knew he could had just compelled them but he was still lost in his bloodlust and the only thing he cared about was tearing each and every one of them apart. A few of them he had snapped there necks because they were running off, the rest he had drain them of blood. Eventually everyone around him were laying dead, some in a pool of their own blood. Stefan had left his predator mood and started to look around him at the mess, horrified at himself.
It was a uncrowded street so no new people had come through yet, but he assumed the street would quickly draw attention. Part of him considered running again, just like he had done for the past several months. What would that do though? It's not like he didn't deserve anything that could happen to him if he stayed. Why leave someone else with his problem? He walked over to the girl that he had killed first. He stared at her for a minute, she was so young. He sat on his knees next to the dead girl, realizing how bad she looked. Her head was separated from her body along with one of her arms. Stefan went to touch the girls detached head, his hand started shaking as he touched her cold forehead. Tears started slowly running down Stefan's face as he tried desperately to reattach the head to what was left of her body. "I'm so sorry." He whispered to her as he sat her up against the wall still trying to balance her head. His hands just got more shakier making it impossible to do anything with them. "I didn't want to become this." Stefan's voice cracked as he spoke. He started to brush the girl's hair back with his hand, reveling her face which was quickly becoming more of a pale grey color.
Klaus was walking down the streets that surrounded the city, searching for wherever Stefan had gone off to. He quickly picked up the scent of blood coming from on the streets. "Stefan?", he yelled as he came onto the street surrounded by dead bodies. Crap, he thought to himself, this will get around the city quick and then he would have the locals to deal with. Klaus looked around at the mess that the younger vampire had made. What the hell did Stefan do? He walked down the road, seeing slaughtered bodies surrounding him until he finally reached Stefan sitting on the sidewalk next to a pale girl he must had killed along with the rest of them. Stefan's whole body was shaking while he stared at the girl, trying to make her appear like she had looked originally before he had gotten to her. "Stefan, we need to leave.", He said quietly, knowing that the other vampire could still hear him.
Stefan looked up at Klaus and then back to the girl. He didn't reply but had started crying while starting to look around at all the dead bodies. Klaus knew it was only a short amount of time before either a human or another vampire came over there and found all of this and then probably tried to kill them. He would have to find a way to make it blow over with the residents of the town later but there was nothing he could do now except get him and Stefan out of there before someone saw. He started to grab Stefan's arm lightly, trying not to make Stefan's current state worse.
"I killed all of them.", Stefan tried to say even though his voice was slightly cracking. "It doesn't matter if we run, they will still find the dead bodies." "They won't know what happened though. I'l take care of this later but we need to leave now love." Klaus started practically pulling Stefan off of the dead girl and the ground beneath them. "I can't just leave them.", Stefan said as he tried to push Klaus's hands off of him. Klaus heard footsteps now from a street right next to theirs and quickly grabbed Stefan and vamp speed out of there before anyone knew that they were there.
