He turns off his humanity and you get him to turn it back on

Stefan: It had all gotten too much; the blood. He couldn't control his thirst much longer. Already, he had lashed out on two people, not killing them, but still- he could hardly live with the guilt. Ever since Niklaus force-fed Stefan human blood he had suffered like this, desperately trying to fight back the hunger with little result, but still, he persevered. Niklaus however, didn't quite enjoy Stefan's defiance toward shifting back into his ripper days, taking things into his own hands and compelling him. Forcing him to turn it all off.

You had been with Caroline, trying to learn how Stefan once taught her to control the thirst, thinking that maybe his own tactics may work once again.

"This is Stefan we're talking about y/n. If there's anybody who can fight it, it's him." Caroline assured you. You sighed in reply, slightly nodding your head, knowing she was right. "It might take some time, but he'll get there. He'll be fine." She continued with a weary smile. The ringing of your phone brought you out of your thoughts as you quickly answered it, Damon's frantic voice piercing through the speaker.

"We have a problem." He sighed grimly.

"What happened?" You shot back almost instantly. Fear spread through your mind as you stood from the couch and began to pace.

"It's Stefan."

After hearing the news about Stefan, you returned back to the boarding house as quick as humanly possible, finding Damon to already be there with his phone clutched tightly in his hand as he paced the length of the parlour, deep in thought.

"y/n, there you are." He sighed suddenly, angst and annoyance playing on his face as he made his way over to you. "I've got a plan."

"Okay, shoot." You spoke inwardly, trying desperately to hide the fact that you were terrified. Terrified by what Stefan may do, and terrified that you may never get him back.

"Alright, so I'm thinking we track him down- which I have already done by the way- drug him up with vervain, and lock him in the basement until we can figure out a way to get him to turn it back on." He proposed while grabbing his jacket and keys before heading for the door.

"Well, I don't have any better idea's so let's go with that." You agreed and turned to follow him to the car.

"The school?" You asked, confused.

"Seniors are here planning their big prank for the last day, I think Klaus wants to use them as target practice for his new partner in crime." He sneered, pure hatred lacing his words.

"Okay, let's do this." You breathed, going to open your door.

"Hold on," Damon spoke, stopping you, "Take this, and please don't get yourself killed. He has no humanity remember? Vervain him, and get out." He spoke, handing you a syringe full of liquid vervain. You nodded before stepping out into the cold air, Damon following suit, planning to deal with Klaus while you handle Stefan.

The two of you stepped into the auditorium, immediately being met with three dead students, and a blood fueled Niklaus towering over two other cowering teens.

"Where is he Klaus?" Damon asked without hesitation, sounding more demanding than questioning.

"Damon Salvatore." Klaus laughed, turning around to face the two of you. "And y/n. Bad move Damon- bringing her, a human into a scenario like this." He grinned mischievously. "Ripper!" He called out happily as Stefan rounded the corner, his shirt bloody and his face a mess. Your heart leaped into your throat at the sight of him. His eyes; lifeless, but you couldn't help but catch a glimpse of hurt in them as his gaze locked with yours.
