*Kenzi’s POV*
I exhale slowly and yawn as I wake up. We have been in Chicago for three months with no luck. I roll over and hear someone banging on our ‘rental’ apartment door, meaning Damon compelled someone to give it to us. I adjust my black cutoff and spandex, and then check my hair. Seeing I look okay, I open the door.
“Hello, how may I help you?” I ask, rubbing the sleep from my minty green eyes. I open my eyes fully to see Stefan and Kol standing in the doorway. “Stefan?” I gasp and stumble back, hitting Damon’s chest as I do so.
“Whose here Zi, should I compel…” He starts, but stops in his tracks as he does a double take of Stefan and Kol.
“Should I…” I start.
“No, we’ll go outside.” Izzy states appearing. I see Stefan’s ring still on his finger. I still wear mine every day. I step outside carefully.
“Why are you guys here?” I ask gingerly, seeing straight into them. They went ripper mode. They shift uneasily.
“It was his old feeding ground.” Kol slams his hand over his mouth. I look at Stefan confused. I see all the people dressed up walking around like the 1920’s. See in Chicago for a month every year they do a weird dress up and right now people are dressing like the 1920’s. He downcasts his eyes.
“This has happened before?” I question.
“Yes.” He kicks the dirt.
“And you didn’t think I needed to know this?” I ask raising my voice. I hear footsteps and see a flash of brown curls. “Show yourself.” I hiss. A girl steps forward. There’s something familiar about her deep crystal blue eyes. I race to her and hug her tightly. “Sky.” I whisper.
“Hi Zi.” She hugs me back. “Are these guys giving you trouble?” She asks.
“No, just Stefan and Kol stopped by for a chat.” I reassure her.
“I’m sorry for leaving.” Her eyes start to water.
“Oh Sky.” I embrace her again. She buries her face in my neck. “It’s okay, but you can come home now right?” I ask her after a few moments of silence. She looks conflicted as her eyes dash across to Kol. “He and Stefan have gone ripper mode.” I whisper to her.
“What?” She glares at Stefan. She walks right over and slaps them both across the face. Hard. She grabs Stefan by the front of his shirt and pulls him down to her height. “You freaking ass. You made me a promise. Don’t you remember?” She hisses. He once more can’t meet anyone’s eyes, but when he does he has a cold hard look in his eyes. He tries to pry off Skylar’s fingers, but he shoves him into a wall. He moans in pain, my insides twist, but I do nothing except watch the scene unravel.
“Dammit Sky, let go.” He growls.
“What the hell do you think I’ve gone through? I’ve been through hell with worry. I knew you were here, but I thought you were looking for me. I was almost relieved, until the bodies started showing up, then one night Lucy just goes awol.” She snaps. “She disappeared by morning and the bodies started piling in numbers. I burned them to cover up the mess you left behind you douche. I had my suspicions, thinking it was you, but I gave you the freaking benefit of the doubt.” She adds. Stefan must have flipped the switch, because I can see the regret in his face.
“Skylar…” He starts. She holds up her hand and he slips to the floor.
“And you.” She points at Kol angrily. He, an original vampire, took a step back in fear. “You, I thought you were different. I thought you would respect my space, but no.” She snaps.
“Sky, that’s enough.” Izzy offers, but she keeps stepping forward.
“I thought…” She starts, but she doesn’t finishes, because Kol kisses her. To my surprise, she kisses back. I glare at Stefan.
“Get your goddamn ass inside.” I snap. He starts to say something, but I cut him off. “Inside.” I shout. He looks at me like a sad puppy. He goes in and everyone else follows. Skylar and Kol pull apart.
“Don’t ever do that again.” She demands to him.
“Skylar, Kol come inside please.” I beg so they won’t more of a scene than we already had. Skylar comes in with Kol at her heels.
“Now Skylar, Kol, and Stefan, I want you back here in one hour. Pack everything up.” Izzy commands. Skylar immediately leaves with a grin. Kol and Stefan follow. Izzy and Damon head off to the store to get some food for us before we leave. Stefan is the first to come back. He sets down his duffel bag and looks at me.
“Kenz…” He whispers softly.
“Stefan, I don’t wanna hear it.” I retort and grab a pair of skinny jeans. I pull them on quickly. I brush out my hair and pin it back with bobby pins. Stefan walks over and takes both my hands.
“Kenzi, I won’t take no for an answer.” He tells me. I look into gentle green eyes and follow him obediently to the bed. He kneels in front of me. “Kenzi, I didn’t mean for this to happen. I didn’t mean to turn into the ripper again. I got worried after you disappeared. I shut off the feelings, because they hurt so bad. One thing led to another and bam I was ripper Stefan again. I promise I won’t do it again or you can stab a stake through my heart.” He explains. I listen and nod softly.
“Stefan, I understand and I-I forgive you.” I manage to say. The tears rushing down my cheeks at the thought that Stefan went ripper, because of me. He looks at me hesitantly. I lean down and kiss him softly on the lips. He returns it a little harder. I kiss back and pull away before things can get heated. “Stefan we have a life time for that.” I whisper, smiling.
“You don’t. Kenz, your human still…” He whispers.
“Stefan, I want you to turn me.” I put my forehead against his.
“Kenzi, I couldn’t do that to you…” He murmurs.
“But I’m asking you. Stefan, I don’t want to worry about what could happen to me. I don’t want this to happen again.” I reassure him. He gives in. “Stefan, do it now.” I answer his unasked question.
“Kenzi…” He starts, but I kiss him to shut him up.
“Stefan, please.” I beg.
“Okay.” He murmurs again and goes through the process. Soon enough, I am a vampire. Now for the hard part, the wedding.
“Stefan, do you like daisies or lilies better?” I ask. He chuckles and kisses me. Lilies it is.
