"Important details you need to know are that Klaus and Rebekah are siblings, they're originals, the first generation of vampires and they can do things, we, normal vampires, cannot." Arabella spoke and Stefan lifted his head up and nodded to signal her to speak again.

"1920, you and I had known each other for years on years before we decided to go to Chicago together, anyway, fast forward to when we were in Chicago, you caught Rebekah's eye, or as Klaus said she "fancied" you ever since she met you, but, she always saw me next to you and let's just say she was not a fan of not getting her way, she threatened me, poured vervain in my drinks, anything to get me away from you until one day she convinced Klaus to compel you to forget about me and all of our past, obviously you weren't on vervain so I had to go along with it." She caught her breath after speaking, but Stefan knew she wasn't done as he mumbled a "Uh-huh." under his breath.

"So, she forced her feelings onto you and eventually you fell back for her, which let me say now, was a horror for me to watch, so I somehow ended up in the arms of Klaus, her brother. He swore he'd never let Rebekah's jealousy allow me to get hurt, but shortly after Rebekah had her fun with you and I had my fun with Klaus, you and I started hanging out again. You drifted away from Rebekah and supposedly it was my fault, she was mad all over again and all of the threats came running back. That's when Klaus and I had the idea to fake my death, so I'd get away from her safely."

"You we're actually scared of someone else?" Stefan scoffed, finding amusement in his messed up years.

"She's 200 years older than me and 10x stronger than me, obviously I didn't want to be her enemy, and really? After everything I just said, that's what you decide to point out?" Arabella shook her head and Stefan chuckled.

"It's the only part that caught my attention, i'm confused as to why you came back to Mystic Falls knowing I wouldn't remember." Stefan propped himself up.

"I'm trying to say this is the nicest sounding way possible, but I didn't just come back for you." She took a sharp breath before speaking again, "I was once Katherines friend, for hundreds of years, as a matter of fact, today is when it all ended. I came back for Katherine, not knowing she came back for Elena and you."

"You and Katherine? I had a suspicion but you both don't match together, you're both two women that would do anything to prove a point, to live, you get where i'm going." Stefan looked away, his mind full of questions he'd never ask. "Why'd it end today?" Was the question he decided to ask, and Arabella quickly answered.

"You." Arabella cocked an eyebrow at him, and he did the same, but in a way of signaling her to go more into
context. "She told me about her kiss with Damon, and how he thought it was Elena, I was confused because he wasn't the brother she ever liked, it was you, so she then said you were next, I threatened her and from my last experiences, that usually means the end of the friendship."

"I didn't know I could unknowingly cause so much chaos.." Stefan had a ridiculous grin on his face which made Arabella roll her eyes, "I'd always choose you over Katherine, though I doubt she thinks that." Stefan spoke and his words made Arabella softly smile.

"You'd be shocked, she's just one level below Rebekah on the love-revenge list." Arabella then stood up and Stefan did as well. "I think it's time we leave, the carnivals kinda ended right now and i'm pretty sure with my luck today, guards are on vervain."

"Though none of tonight went according to plan, I had a good time tonight, Arabella, thank you." Stefan looked at her and she looked at him. "I get why I was so hung up on you all those years ago." They both laughed and began walking.

"I don't, I was a bitch." Arabella thinned out her lips and Stefan chuckled once again, "Still kind of am, but that's besides the point."

"Tonight doesn't have to end so soon, come on." Stefan walked faster and they walked and walked until they arrived back at the Salvatore house.
