The Ripper

Prologue - A New Begining

"Turn it off, Stefan" his voice is deafening and I know I won't be able to refuse much longer.

"No, Stefan" her voice comes out weak and scared, she knows it too.

I look at her and I know there's nothing I can do to save her now, he'll win and all three of us knows it.

"I said, turn it off" he yells and I can see the compellsion in his eyes, I'm screwed and I know it.

One last look at Elena and I beg her with my eyes to understand that I don't have a choice. She's crying and I think a minute ago so was I, but I can feel it now, I'm shutting down piece by piece.

I blink and when my eyes open I don't feel a thing. I look at the girl I once loved with all my heart and I feel nothing, well maybe regret, she's held me back for so long.

I can no longer stand the sound of her cries and a part of me wonders what I ever saw in her. But then I remember what pulled me in, Katherine, she looked like Katherine.

Klaus smiles as he sees the dislike in my eyes, he turns towards Elena and I can see the panic in her eyes. She knows.

"Stefan?" she pleads, begging me to still be in here. Well news for you honey, this is the real Stefan.

"Stefan" his voice is calm and I can see the shivers go down her back from it.

I turn my attention away from Elena and towards Klaus

"Kill her"

Elena screams as I launch towards her but before I can get a good bite in she stabs me with a stake in the stomach, I'd forgotten I handed her that.

I roar in pain and watch as she runs out of the room. Klaus is laughing from behind me and I turn and throw the stake towards him, he moves just in time not to be hit by it.

"Well the chase is half the fun, now isn't it?" I smirk towards him and he smiles back

"Then go get her" he challange and I run.

I will catch her and I will make her pay for all of it.

Elena Gilbert will not live to see the next sunrise.
