Character: Stefan Salvatore. Page 1

- Why are you smiling? Know where Elena is?
- Can take a hint. Start with the city morgue, she's probably dead.
-???
- She went to meet my friend. You should know it - original brother, impeccable taste.
- Elijah?
Is Elijah here?
- Probably will have to challenge Elijah's impeccable taste, since he's hanging out with you.

- The Almighty Serena a prisoner of some plugs...
Said the one who can kill with a stick.

The poets and philosophers I once loved, beat wrong. Death comes not to all, the passage of time dulls memories and pays no body to dust. I was declared dead and installed on the cold ground of the grave stone with my name on it. It symbolized the end of the earthly journey, but in fact my life had just begun. Like I slept for years, languished in the dark, and then I woke up and the world was brighter, freer and more interesting than I ever imagined.
The people I knew continued to exist in the same way as I used to. They spend their short life on the market, tending the fields and kissing furtively after sunset. For me they are just shadows, not more significant than the frightened squirrels and rabbits that are jumping through the forest, unaware of the world around.
But I was not a shadow. I was alive and at the same time beyond the fear of death. I conquered death. I no longer was just a random guest in this world. I was his master, and eternity had to bow down before me...

Nice to see you, Elena. For the last time...

- I don't want him back. I need to get rid of it.
- Stefan, you're not. You love your brother, and I know you would rather die than to let him go.

- Do you love her? Caroline?
- What is it? You still have feelings for her?
- In my life and too many women. So Caroline is the reason why Reina's sword pierced your chest? You defended her?
- No. I defended Damon.
- Then let her go, Stefan. Let her go. Or spend eternity sacrificing all the good that was between you, for his brother. Trust me, I have to spend eternity watching so does Elijah for me.

- Well, enough.
- Or what? You gonna hit me? Come On, Stefan. Everything that I feel Elena. Hit me. Or even better. Kiss me, Damon. She'll feel that too.

Hey! Don't do this to me! This woman ruined our lives! She destroyed us! It ends tonight. We can do this. I've got your back. Is?
- Comes.

- I had the chance to kill her, but I hesitated.
- This is our main difference, my young friend. I have no doubt.

- I'm going to the masquerade and kill her today.
- You won't kill her.
- Don't be goody-goody.
- You won't kill her.
- Why is this?
- I'll kill her.

- Caught the rabbit?
- Yes, I feel much better. Thank you.

- An extremely disadvantageous situation. Two deputies dead. You. What should I do with you?
You're not going to tell anyone? Mother. Mom! Please. I know we don't talk very much and often you hate me. But I'm your daughter. You're going to do that for me? Mom, please. He will kill you.
- Then kill.
- No!
- I can't.
- Kill me now.
- You were going to do it painfully.
- No, no, no!
- Damon, don't!
- Damon, please!
- Relax, nobody's getting killed. You're my friend.

Is that all? No sorcery was not, trembling light, no gust of wind... You ever done this before?!
- Caroline...
- I want to make sure that everything turned out!
[Bonnie opens the curtains and sunlight falls on Caroline]
It was quite good.
- And if he hadn't, Bonnie?!
- She's all yours.
