Now And Then - Stefan Salvatore (currently editing)

1.3. "She Got Under Your Skin"

I smiled innocently "Stefan"

He just starred at me with an open mouth.

I saw the blood on his shirt gave him an amused look " Let me guess.. my sister ? "

Stefan caught himself  "Don't act like you didn't know she was here "

"i didn't know she followed me back to Mystic Falls" i answered truthfully. 

Stefan shook his head, scoffing "i don't believe you"

I raised an eyebrow at the way he looked at me - i didn't like it "Stefan?"

"I thought you were in that tomb with your sister" he sounded disappointed - almost as if he had expected me to be in there - to find me in there dried out. 

I nodded "i've heard about your little rescue mission. She was never in the tomb."

Stefan nodded, calm "Well, that's what you made us believe for the last 140 years. I thought you were in that tomb with her."

I looked at him for a second before smirking "Damon opened that tomb to get her out. He couldn't have done it on his own - you helped him. Why? To get me out?"

He dodged the question with a freeze "Why weren't you in there?"

"that doesn't matter anymore." i answered with a shrug. 

He just looked at me "it does to me."

I snapped a little "Well, to me it doesn't."

He rolled his eyes. 

I made a step to him, snapping a little "What does matter to me is your little  relationship with that little girlfriend of yours. What was her name again? Elena?"

HIs face hardened as he warned "you stay away from her."

"say that again" i challenged with a smile as i stepped closer to him.

Stefan warned "Adelaide-"

I let out a hum as i eyed him "I thought you were attractive back then but now? Damn, Stef, death suits you"

He didn't response to that. or at least he didn't let it show. 

"Why are you back in Mystic Falls?"

i smiled "Because i missed you"

Stefan shook his head "not buying that, Adelaide"

I raised an eyebrow "why? Because that would be too good to be true? or because it would ruin the opinion you think you have of me?"

He took a step closer to me, looking down at me. 

I looked up, meeting his eyes amused. 

Stefan looked me in the eyes for a second and i saw them softening for the split of a second before hardening "The truth? Here's the truth, you're still the same lying, selfish, manipulative bitch that you've always been. So whatever it is that brought you here...why don't you just get on with it and leave town? Because if you don't, i will hunt you down and i will rip your heart out"

I looked at him for a second, feeling slightly turned on by this mean Stefan before smiling "You won't kill me. You can't."

"i don't want you here." he growled. 

I shook my head, trying to be serious "you are playing games, Stefan. I don't like playing games."

"I am not playing, Adelaide." he growled. 

I nodded "you are. You know.. there is something deep down inside that handsome body of yours that won't kill me, Stefan."

He looked at me for a second before growling "Stay the hell away from Elena"

Night. Home. 

I walked into the Salvatore boarding house and looked around before yelling "Damon!"

There was a crash coming from another room. Glass was breaking. 

I walked into the other room and saw Damon there drinking from a glass bottle. A broken bottle was on the bottom of the fireplace. 

He downed the bottle in his hand before slamming the bottle against the fire place again. 

Then he walked over to the cabinet and looked through the other bottles. Something was off with him. 

"Damon"

He looked at me for a second before shaking his head "nope. No. I can't deal with a Pierce right now."

I sighed as he grabbed another bottle. 

He took a big sip from the bottle, not looking at me "Choose one of the empty rooms...but i can't look at you right now."

Then he walked away.

I looked after him, wondering what my sister had done now.
