Hold Me Tight - Stefan Salvatore/The Vampire Diaries

Loose You

We walk into the cellar. Damon eyes burning into the back of my head as I look around to see Stefan hanging by his arms, no shirt on, with blood dripping down his torso and another vampire in a chair not far away. His head is down, tired like he has nothing left in him to fight. Stefan looks up as he hears us.

"Kyra, you shouldn't be here.." He says quietly.

Damon looks towards his brother and then back at me, "She was supposed to stay in the car." He walks straight towards the other vampire ready to kill him.

"No, no, no. Not him" Stefan says as Damon reaches the vampire, making him stop in his tracks.

I roll my eyes at him and shrug my shoulders, "I thought you'd rather have my death on your hands then Elena's. Am I wrong?" I stare at the Damon with my eyebrows raised. He sighs and looks back at his brother.

"Whatever. Lets get you down." Damon reaches for the ropes.

"There's vervain on the ropes." Stefan states, shaking his head at Damon. I walk towards the ropes instead and pull on them to get him down. Stefan collapses as the ropes are released with only Damon stopping him from hitting the ground.

"Alright, let's go. Clothes on." Damon states as he begins to walk to the door.

"Wait." Stefan says leaning against a wooden pillar in front of him.

"What? Guys, come on. We have to get out on here." Looking back.

Stefan looks towards the other vampire and grabs onto one of the stakes in his legs. I walk towards Stefan, grabbing onto him to support him. Stefan pulls it out and looks at me. "The other one," He says while glancing at the final stake in the vampires leg. I nod as I grab the end of it and pull it out as quickly as I can. 

Damon is looking out the door for any signs as the other vampires coming. I look around the cellar and grab Stefan's top from across the room, helping him put it back on. I grab his arm and place it around my shoulders as I put mine around his back. We start to walk out the room as Damon looks back at us.

"Can you get him in the car?" He asks. I nod looking up at the younger Salvatore. "Alright, go." he begins to walk again.

"Wait, where are you going?" I ask.

"You rescue, I'll distract. Go." He says. I continue walking with Stefan back towards where I came from.

-------------------------------------------

"Come on, Stefan" I say as he begins to slow down slightly, becoming heavier each step we take. "Will you be able to make it?" I look up at his as he groans in pain. His eyebrows scrunched together as he tries to continue on. He closes his eyes for a second, loosing his balance causing us both to fall to the ground. I hold my hand out to slow the fall and cut it on a rock. I lift it up to see the blood dripping from my palm, "Shit." I whisper.

"You okay?" He glances between my hand and my face. I look up at him with a small smile on my face and nod.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Come on, we need to get to the car." I say as I get back up and start to help him walk along the little distance we had left. 

I see the car in the distance, getting closer with each painful step. "It's right there, come one." I say starting to move slightly faster, but soon realising Elena was no where to be seen. I shake the thought from my head as I make it to the passenger side of the car and help Stefan in, closing the door quickly and making my way in to the drivers seat. I go to turn the car on when I realise the ignition has gone. I sigh and begin to shake my head, "Stefan." I say beginning to move my hand over to him when the car window smashes and Stefan is dragged out.
