A Thousand Years, Stefan Salvatore

027. NOTHING CAN COME BETWEEN YOU AND I

Chapter twenty seven

"Nothing can come between you and I."

The next day, Damon had stopped by "you trapped her in the house?" Stefan asked him "it's for the best. Trust me..Elena's on a martyr tear that rivals your greatest hits. Although I doubt it beats getting stabbed, bit and climbing out of a vervain well so Athena you are still in the lead." Damon shared, as Athena rolled her eyes "you should be glad the witch and I are even getting along. Brought you two this." Damon shared, walking toward's them "care package. Candles...lanterns..." he shared, tossing the bag inside "..and.. lunch." he said, pulling a plastic bag out, he dropped it.

Athena picked it up and pulled out, blood handing it to Stefan, she opened the container that had a burger in it, and grabbed it taking a bite out of it, Stefan tossed the bottle back at Damon as he caught it "give that to me and I'm just gonna have to share it with her." Stefan told him, and when he did, Damon looked from him to Athena, and Stefan knew what he meant as he nodded "you know, you three are surprisingly calm considering that Klaus will hunt you down and kill you if you mess with his little plan." Katherine shared, as the three looked to her.

"I've been dead before. I got over it." Damon shared, as Athena and Stefan looked back at him "once we deal with this moon stone we'll figure a way to get you two out." Damon shared "ah, don't worry about us. Just make sure Elena's safe." Stefan told him, as Athena closed the container and bent down, putting it in the bag, she kicked it out, as Damon bent down and grabbed it, as he turned and walked off.

Athena then grabbed the bag and began walking off and as she did, Stefan watched Katherine turn and ran away from her, as he then reached out, grabbing her by the arm, he pulled her toward's him, he then backed her into the wall nearby, Athena looked up at him, she brought her hand up to him and when she did, Stefan grabbed it as he leaned down sinking his teeth into her palm, he began drinking her blood, both knowing that no matter how thirsty for blood Katherine was, she wouldn't dare come after Athena for it, whether Stefan was there or not, she showed her time and time again that she wasn't afraid of her and that she sure as hell would fight back even when her own life was on the line.

Stefan then pulled away and as he did, Athena brought her hand down and wiped it on her pants, as she sighed "you didn't sleep last night." Stefan told her, as Athena looked up at him "I couldn't sleep before how am I supposed to sleep with her five feet away from me?" she asked him, raising her brows "well seeing as when you walked down the hallway she turned and ran, I'd say you've proven yourself to her." Stefan shared, as Athena shook her head "now she is but when Klaus come's she'll be relishing in my death." she shared, looking down, Stefan lifted her head back up "I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, not then, not now, not ever." he shared, and when he did, Athena dropped the bag from her arm and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him, she leaned her head against his chest, Stefan hugged her back.

Sometime had past, as Stefan was laying down on a bench and he had convinced Athena to lay with him as she laid on top of him, he held her in his arms, as he ran his hand through her hair, he was watching her sleep, Athena could feel his eyes on her as she sat up, Stefan sat up "what's wrong?" he asked her, moving a piece of hair out from in front of her face as he was behind her, Athena felt like her skin was on fire, she quickly stood up and began walking away from him "Athena?" Stefan asked her, as he stood up, following after her "there's nowhere for you to go." he told her.

As Athena turned to him "yes there is. Away from you." she told him, turning back around and continuing to walk away "you know it's not safe." Stefan told her, as Athena chuckled "says the guy who just told me I was." she told him "Athena, stop." Stefan told her "you can't tell me what to do, Stefan." Athena told him, turning a corner "Athena." Stefan told her, as he followed her, he then grabbed her arm "would you stop." he told her, turning her toward's him, Athena looked at him and when she did, Stefan looked at her as well, as the two then lunged at each other, kissing.
