CHAPTER NINETEEN | HOME

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

KLARA ADAMS SAT STARING AT HER DEAD, DESICCATED BOYFRIEND. Part of her hoped that it was all a lie and that Stefan would wake up any moment and tell her that everything was going to be okay. But, Klara knew that everything was far from okay. Caroline had found her in the middle of the road, holding Stefan's desiccated body and screaming. The Forbes girl took control and took Stefan and Klara back to Whitmore, then called Damon and Elena.

Elena ran right into the room and froze once she saw Stefan's body lying there on the couch beside Klara, who was on her knees in tears. "Oh, my God. Stefan!" Elena dropped down onto one of the armchairs.

Among Klara's loud sobs, Caroline brushed her tears from her face and glanced between Damon and Elena. "We didn't know where to bring him. We just couldn't leave him outside."

Damon looked like his entire world had collapsed around him as he looked toward his brother—his baby brother. He then turned his eyes to the blonde vampire who had her hand intertwined with Stefan's. "Klara?" 

"Please. Please tell me that Bonnie can bring him back." Klara's eyes wiped up in Damon's direction before she glanced between Elena and Caroline. "She—she said she had a plan to bring everyone back. She can bring him back, can't she?"

"We'll bring him back." Damon nodded, almost as if he were telling himself that as well as the blonde. "Come on. Let's get away from prying eyes." The Salvatore stepped forward and laid a blanket over Stefan's corpse.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

In order for Bonnie's plan to work, they needed a witch—or two. Klara immediately suggested Luke and Liv Parker, who were already on their way out of town after they tried to kill the doppelgangers. But it didn't take long for Klara, Elena and, Caroline to track them down. Elena was situated in front of their vehicle, while Klara was at the side, and Caroline was around the back.

"A little tip," Elena smirked toward the two witches who reluctantly jumped out of their getaway car. "If you're gonna glee the scene of the crime, take backroads."

Klara and Caroline folded their arms over their chest as they stepped around to the front of the car. Liv glanced between the two blondes and Elena. "You really want to do this again?"

"You mean the part where you try to kill a doppelganger? There's no point. Stefan's already dead." Elena announced to the clueless witches who's mouths both hung open in surprise.

Liv glanced to Klara, who looked utterly devastated, and then she sighed. "I know you don't believe me, Klara, but I am sorry."

"Good." The Adams vampire finally spoke out. It was the first time she had really spoken since Stefan's death. "It's good to hear you're sorry since you're gonna help us bring him back."
