Elena had broken the bond of enslavement, now she knew what her true feelings were.
It was a June day, the sun was shining in Mystic Falls; Elena, Stefan, and Damon were in the Salvatore house.
-Good, Elena. Now the time of truth has come .- Stefan said trying to keep a steady voice.
Damon and Stefan looked at Elena. She had never felt so pressured, but she knew what was right to do: tell the truth. It would have broken either of them, but it was necessary.
-Elena, you have to make your choice. Who do you really love? - Damon added, who wouldn't last long in waiting.
-You are right, now I know what I really feel and I have to tell the truth. I know one of them will break their heart, but I can't help it. You are both very important in my life, I have loved you both equally, but now I only love one of you ... Stefan, I'm sorry ... believe me, I loved you, but after all what happened I found out that I love Damon more than anything else. I love you, but only as a friend ... Forgive me. - Elena looked at him, you could see that he was deeply hurt and she was infinitely sorry, she felt like crying, but remained silent, she knew that any word would make the situation worse. Then he looked at Damon, his expression both relaxed and sorry for his brother.
Those words were like a blade to Stefan that pierced not only his heart, but also his lungs, liver and all other internal organs. It was as if he were dead, for the second time.
-I think I'd better go .- Stefan said and walked to the door.
-Brother ...- Damon called him, he didn't want to let him go like this ... he wanted to try to console him, even though he knew it was impossible.
"Leave it alone, Damon." Saying that, he left the house. He headed for the car, he wanted to go far from there, but he didn't know where. While he was running in the car at an absurd speed, he tried to hold back the tears, without success, a few tears came out of his eyes and he accelerated.
He did not know where to go he had been driving around for almost an hour, he needed a friend, an old friend ...
Klaus came to mind, the twenties, when he was a ripper ... Could after all that time and effort, turn off the feelings again? No, he absolutely couldn't. But who was keeping him from being bad? The world had been with him once again, now his turn was back. There was no need to switch off feelings to be cruel.
He headed for Klaus's house, entered taking care not to be heard, went to the study, where the original often passed the time, the door was open and saw him there, sitting on an armchair, reading a book; it was as beautiful as the night.
-Hello, Stefan. Why this unexpected visit? - Said the hybrid without looking up from the pages of the book.
"Call it nostalgia for the old days." Stefan walked into the study.
At that point Klaus looked at him and got up from his chair.
-What words must my ears listen to ... Old times? What kind of old times? - he asked smiling.
-You know, Klaus .- The vampire answered seriously.
-You are not alluding to the 1920s? When you were a ripper ... and we had a good time like two true friends.
Stefan was silent as he smiled at him.
-Well well, you don't want to make peace with me? - Klaus said in a mocking tone. -After all your betrayals, I don't know if it will be that easy. But rather tell me: why this sudden reunion? Do you really think you can fool me again? "She questioned him. Stefan looked down like a repentant child.
-Ah, I think I understand! - Exclaimed the original and approached him. - By chance Elena made her choice and you weren't the favorite? Is that so? - They were very close now.
Stefan raised his head and looked him straight in the eye. -Yes, that's exactly how it went.
-Eh, dear Stefan ... You preferred your humanity, if you had remained a ripper all this would not have happened ...- Klaus's voice had become almost a whisper.
-I want to go back to the old one, but without turning off the feelings .- He said almost coldly and then added: -I want to go back to being your friend .- He said these words slowly, as if he could regret it at any moment.
The two had faces almost stuck together, not even a step separated their mouths ...
Klaus was about to touch Stefan's hand, when the latter in passion kissed him. They broke away and looked at each other almost asking a question with their eyes, then Klaus took Stefan's face in his hands and kissed him even more passionately than before. They took off each other's shirts, almost tearing them apart, and soon found themselves lying on the sofa.
Klaus, as he kissed Stefan's neck, had an instinct to bite him, but he couldn't, because being a hybrid he would release his venom into the vampire's blood. So he offered his neck to him and Stefan started kissing him, then bit him and started sucking his blood ... Klaus let himself go completely along with his blood, which he felt draining from his neck. In the meantime, he whispered in Stefan's ear: -Squartatore ...-
