The next day, I woke up, screaming internally when I remembered what I did the previous night. I kissed Stefan! I had woken up, being spooned by him and carefully made my way out of the room, not having seen him ever since. "Do you feel anything yet?" Marcel asked me in a whisper so that he doesn't disturb Davina, who was reciting the spell to free my magic.

I shook my head at him and he nodded while Davina chanted the spells. I felt a sudden rush of energy flow through me, causing me to stumble back into someone. I looked back to see that I had crashed into Stefan, who had caught me. "You okay?" He asked with concern. Before I could answer, I felt another wave of energy and then another, causing me to fall to my knees while Stefan held me. Davina's chanting got louder and louder as I looked at my hands which emitted a golden hue, indicating that my magic was back.

"Your eyes," Marcel pointed out and I smiled. My magic's back and now you're going down, Ethan!

"I need some air," I told them, breathing heavily as I sped off outside of the church, gasping for air.

"Rose?" Stefan called out from behind me and I turned around to see him smiling widely at me. With a wide smile, I rushed towards him and hugged him tightly, which he returned.

I broke away from him, jumping on my feet excitedly while he chuckled. "I got my magic back!" I yelled happily while he smiled at me.

"Yes! You did!" He replied. "And now it's time to kill that son of a bitch,"

I widened my eyes at him teasingly. "Ooh, Stefie's not a saint anymore, is he?"

"He never was," He retorted with a smirk. "I've got moves you never knew,"

I smirked back. "Any other moves you wanna show me?" I looked at him through my eyelashes. We stared at each other for seconds until he smiled.

"There she is, Ladies and Gentlemen," He exclaimed dramatically. "Rose Pierce!"

I guffawed at him. "Can you be any more dramatic?"

"Sweetheart, you haven't seen dramatic," He wiggled his eyebrows, laughing. "You know, we never talked about last night," He told me, his voice turning sober. I stayed silent in response, looking at the ground. "No, I get it. It was a thank-you kiss, nothing more,"

I looked up to meet his eyes, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kissed you like that,"

"No, no! I'm glad you did," He replied softly. "It made me realize something...When you kissed me, it was soft and lovely and warm," He took my hand in his. "But when you kiss my brother, it's all those things and passionate. You and Damon, you yearn for each other every second of the day. You're his light, you illuminate the darkened paths of his life. And he, he's your anchor..." He whispered the last part and leaned in close to my face, kissing me on the cheek.
