I stand outside the Salvatore Mansion, questioning my next actions.

I mean, Damon and Stefan held me and Katherine here hostage so we couldn't even feel safe for the last moments of her life.

Not like I care, I just want to get some blood
on my hands. There doesn't have to be a reason to kill Elena. She's just so fragile- and human.

I kick open the front door, causing the Salvatore brothers and Elena to all gather around me.

"Katherine's dead..." I vamp-speed, grabbing Elena by her throat and pulling her away from Damon and Stefan, "and I was just thinking about how you treated us before she died."

"You turned your humanity off." Stefan says.

"Just let Elena go, we can talk about this." Damon adds.

"I think you two could learn a little lesson." I squeeze her throat tighter.

"Stella- please- I care about you!" Elena begs.

"You know Elena..." I turn her to face me and she looks into my eyes with worry and fear. "...I didn't mind you all that much either. But your boys- they deserve to suffer. That means you have to die."

"Stella no!" Elena panics, struggling for air.

"Stella, just think about this- when you turn it back on, this guilt and the pain of Katherine's death will haunt you enough. You don't want to have to feel guilty for this too." Stefan says.

"I won't turn it back on then." I smile, snapping her neck.

"NO, ELENA!" Damon runs to her unconscious body.

I feel- nothing. Not an ounce of guilt or sadness. It's strange, really, but I don't mind. They deserved it and it feels good to be able to kill without regret.

"What did you do?!" Stefan asks, in shock.

Ugh, I can't be here anymore.

I vamp-speed out, smiling.

I finish drinking every last drop of blood from the woman's body and drop her with the rest of the dead bodies in the alley. Damn I really should've done this before- it's so freeing.

I spot a figure of a person walking in my direction, and he appears in the light: Klaus.

"So, you turned it off." He smiles. "Now that's something I can work with."

"What, you're not mad?" I smile.

"No, I like this side of Stella. She's rare, but I remember her."

I walk up to him. "I know you do- I remember."

"You killed Elena Gilbert. That's bold." He says.

I shrug. "It was necessary."

Klaus laughs. "I guess Katherine meant a whole lot to you."

"Yeah- but can we not talk about that? It's in the past and I'd rather forget about it."

"I'm going to kill Kai. He stepped into my lane, and now he got on my bad side." Klaus says.

"Don't bother, he's all sad over me anyway. His jealousy is why I'm here right now."

"You aren't mad at him?" Klaus questions.

Klaus is right. I should be mad at him, but I can't feel anything at all, it's strange. I want to get payback on him even though it doesn't matter that much, he deserves it.

"Yeah i turned it off so I didn't have so feel pain, but now I feel nothing. I just wanted the pain gone, but everything's gone. I want- I NEED to feel anger or something against Kai but I can't! I can't even hate you!" I wipe blood from my mouth.
