"Well, look what we have here." Stefan says in a cold lifeless tone, something clearly off about him.
I look down at the floor, clearly realizing what the last 20 minutes had held.
"Don't you have a boyfriend somewhere, Elena? Oh wait! That's right! My brother." he narrows his eyes at me.
I look up at him, his expression holds nothing. I thought he'd be angry, but he looked blank. Completely gone off in another realm, far from this one. Before I can open my mouth to respond, Klaus cuts in..
"Well, well, well, hello Stefan. It's been a bit now hasn't it? How's life as the ripper going for you these days?"
My eyes dart up to Stefan once more, shocked at what I'm hearing. "Wait, you are the one leaving trails of humans behind?"
Stefan responds coldly, "Why yes, Elena. That would be me. Congratulations for keeping up, but as I recall, I'm not the only one."
He continues, points at Klaus and I smirking, "I mean you don't honestly think I haven't figured out that's why you left, I mean, I've been around a lot longer than you, honey. Now, the you and Klaus being together still shocked me, I have to say."
I catch my breath, realizing how heartless Stefan was being, who did he think he was, walking in here acting as if he's Mr. Perfect?
He turns to Klaus, interuppting my thoughts, "Isn't she a phenomonal kisser?"
That was the last straw, I vamp speed over to Stefan grab him by the neck and twist as hard as I can, letting out all my aggression.
He falls to the floor.....
"There, now maybe you'll pipe down and shut up, nobody asked for your two sense worth anyway."
And with that; silence.
Much needed silence.
Later that evening I had been able to escape from Klaus and Stefan who last I checked, was still laying unconcious on the cold hard floor where he belonged after his smart ass remarks. I started walking in the woods trying to clear my thoughts. I couldn't lie to myself, I was undenyably confused and wondered what had happened with Klaus might have been a mistake. It felt right at the time, but now it just didn't make sense. Something compelled me to kiss him, and as the cool air captivated my lungs, I realized I have lost complete direction, and have no idea who I am or what I want. Cheating on Damon isn't want I want, and seeing Stefan so lost scares me.... but nothing makes sense anymore... and I want it to go away..... I want ALL of it to go away.......... I jerk to a hault, realizing I can make it go away. My mind flashes back to the stories I was told as a human, when Stefan and I had been together, he had turned into a monster, The Ripper to be exact and hadn't had a care in the world accept for deep down he cared for me, and I pulled him out of that darkness... but I want nothing more than to feel nothing...
Gasping in a breath of cold air, I put the pieces together, remembering that I can just turn it all off....... I can turn it off, and everything will be better...
And in that moment, everything changed. Every sense of confusion and pain lifted from my shoulders.... and with that, like the flip of a switch..... a new Elena was born............
