Hozier - Like Real People Do

"Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do."

WHEN MATT KILLED FINN HIS ENTIRE SIRE LINE DIED WITHIN AN HOUR. That is why, instead of killing another Original vampire and dying themselves, the brothers had to go to see Jeremy so he could contact Rose and ask her from who she descended.

Stefan was standing in front of a fireplace, staring into the flames as he heard Holden and Damon walking in while Holden carried in a luggage for the trip. "You hear from Klaus?" Damon asked the youngest brother.

"Not yet. I'm sure I will soon though," Stefan mused quietly before he picked up the white oak stake. "He's expecting me to deliver two stakes, I only have one."

Damon grimaced as Holden crossed his arms over his chest. Apparently, Bonnie's herbs didn't work on Ric anymore and the history teacher hid the last stake without knowing where. "Well, he'll he disappointed," Holden commented with a grumble as he had no idea why Stefan was staying behind in Mystic Falls with Alaric, and why it had to be Holden going with Damon and Elena.

"I'll get it out of Alaric," Stefan nodded his head as he glanced at Holden. "I just need some time."

A wicked smirk crossed Damon's face. "I like that confidence, Stefan. I don't share it, but I like it," he said with a teasing look so Stefan narrowed his green eyes.

"You don't think I can do what it takes," he realized as Holden shook his head, disagreeing, because slowly Stefan was coming back to his old good self. And that was a good thing, but it would never bring back their previous relationship.

"Well, you're good Stefan again. You're in control," Damon said with a shrug as Holden picked up the luggage. "Sorry, you might get the girl but you lose the edge. Speaking of..."

Elena then walked inside from the basement, where Ric was locked. She smiled weakly before stopping in the middle of the boys. "Have you ever flown first class?" Damon asked her and Elena scoffed quietly.

"Who did you have to compel for that?" she questioned so Holden chuckled and that made her smile. Stefan noticed that and his heart ached even more.

Damon scoffed as Holden put on his jacket. "He just likes to use miles," Holden told the girl and picked up the luggage before walking out of the door as Damon followed.

"Stefan..." Elena started.

"Be safe," he mused before walking out of the room, knowing that he might lose Elena for good that time.
