Surprising Lover (TVDxOC) (Complete)

The Lies Will Catch Up To You

"Hey, it's Bonnie. Leave a message."
"Hey, it's me. Just calling to say... good morning. I know Stefan was gonna pay you a visit last night, and judging by the fact he never came home, it means it either went really well, or... really... not. I'd love to hear your voice, but if you're not ready to talk, I get it. Whatever you need. If you need time, space, gallons of red wine. I'm here for you. With or without Stefan."

"What can I do for you, Sheriff?"
"I need your help."
"Really? Even though I'm part of the darkness that's ruining Mystic Falls?"
"I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, okay? We have bigger problems right now. I got three calls this morning from Mystic Falls residents wanting to report old crimes... Disappearances, cold cases... All involving Stefan. One of them even wondered if he was a vampire."
"What?"
"I've been bringing them into the station and keeping them in separate rooms, trying to keep everyone quiet for now."
"How could they know those things?"
"I don't know. They said these memories came back a couple days ago."
"Oh, my God. When Stefan turned human, everybody he ever compelled started to remember."

"It was about six years ago. There was this murder, lying in a hospital bed, with a bullet wound. I'm supposed to be guarding his room. Then the damnedest thing happened. This intense guy, weird hair, walks right up to me, looks me in the eye, and says, 'Time for a little break.' I'm not supposed to leave my post. But the way he said it..."
"Like you were being compelled to obey."
"Yeah. Something like that. Anyway, I come back. And the murder vanished. Guess who takes the fall. I lost my badge. I lost my pension. I fell off the wagon."
"I'm so sorry this happened to you. But you are going to forget that night at the hospital. You're going to clean up and turn your life around. When you get a check from Stefan Salvatore in the mail, you are not going to ask questions. You're gonna cash it and put that money to good use. [sighs]"
"Thank you, Officer."
"If you feel like police work's still in your blood, give me a call."
"We should reach out to his family to make sure that their stories line up."
"You're taking this awfully well. Are you even listening..."
"To the horrific ripple effect that one vampire has on Mystic Falls? Yeah, Matt, I'm listening. And I'm doing the math. And I am trying to keep it together right now because I'm the only person who can clean up this mess. [sighs]"

"Hey, is everything okay?"
"Yes. Everything's okay. The girls are fine. We've just been on the road. Where are you now?"
"Uh, at the Armory. Hey, listen, uh, I was thinking, maybe we could, I don't know, come by and meet you at the house tonight. "
"[sighs] Oh, my God, Paul, come by and meet you that would be just amazing. I could really uses something good in my life right now. But are you sure you want to bring them to town? Mystic Falls isn't 100% safe yet. "
"[chuckles] Well, maybe 100% isn't a realistic goal."
"Well, we still need to keep them safe."
"Oh, we will. It'll be good to come home. And I'll need some good parenting advice."
"About what?"
"Well, I'll explain when I see you."

"I'm so sorry about your niece, Mr. Fell. They say that aneurysms are totally painless. It would have been like falling asleep. Thank you for stopping by. [sighs] Poor Violet. That girl and her family deserve so much more than just a so-called aneurysm."
"I don't know, that was a pretty good lie, as far as lies are concerned. You should see the amount of 'animal attacks' Sheriff Forbes logged. Probably ruined camping for an entire generation of Mystic Falls families. [laughs]"
"[cell phone rings] Hey, Dorian, what's up?"
"I did something bad."
"What are you talking about?"
"I kidnapped Stefan, I brought him out to the middle of nowhere, and I tried to murder him. There's so much blood. I need your help, man, come on."
"Slow down, slow down. Where are you?"
"I'm on Pineridge Road, somewhere near the abandoned power plant."
"Keep him awake. We're on our way."

"Wake up, Stefan. Come on. Stefan."
"Oh, my God."
"Help us... you can fix him with your blood."
"Stefan took the cure. My bl*od won't heal him anymore."
"Grace?"
"Won't heal him anymore..."

"The doctors stopped the hemorrhaging. They say you're lucky. You'll make a full recovery. Dorian saved your life. After almost killing you, I mean."
"Well, I don't blame him. He may have pulled the trigger, but I loaded that gun years ago when I murdered his family. And he's not the only one on the list."
"I know. I've spent the entire day staring your collateral damage in the face, so I know what's going through your mind right now."
"You sure about that? Earlier, it would've been so much easier for me to let go. No more guilt. No regrets."
"Just hell? Is that what you think you deserve?"
♪ Sleep... ♪
"I don't know. I don't know who I am anymore."
"[sighs] Stefan. You've only been this person for two days. Why don't you give yourself a chance to discover who you are now? Then you'll know how to help the people that you've hurt."
"Because I think that means leaving Mystic Falls."
♪ At least... ♪
"Alone."
"Alone."
♪ This night... ♪
"But I... I've stood by you through everything."
♪ Is way under... ♪
"In what world is ending this the answer to your problems?"
"I'm doing it for you..."
"Don't you dare say that this is about me! This has nothing to do with me. Your walk of atonement and your guilt, your need to be a martyr to your past, that is all for you."
"Be honest. What future can we have?"
"I don't know. I never knew. And that used to be... [sighs] ...exciting. But now it just feels misguided."

♪ Holds until the end... ♪

Knocking on door.  It's Paul and the girls.
"[gasps] Gracie!"
"Gracie!"
"Oh, I missed you girls so much! Oh, I think you got a foot taller. Ooh... Who's hungry?"
"Me!"
"I am!"
"[laughs] It's good to see you."
"It's good to see you."
"I want the pink cup."
"Honey, you always have the purple."
"Pink!"
Lilith siphon's Grace.
"No, no... Ow!"
"Lilith! Lilith. What did I say? No siphoning."
"I didn't mean to."
"Don't hurt Gracie!"
"Incendi..."
"No! No! No, no! Honey, don't you ever, ever say that. Okay? You could really hurt somebody."
"I don't know what's going on."
"They started acting out three days ago. I can't control it. And neither can they. Ric and Caroline have had the same problems."
