Stella sat on her couch, medication, rubbing alcohol, and a cotton pad laid on the coffee table beside her. She sat up, opening her mirror to examine the wound that was left on her face.
Elena had explained to her that Stefan had used the two of them against Klaus, to make him officially send his hybrids away. Elena had offered that Stella could sleep at her place, but Stella insisted that she should go back to her house.
Her mom was still conversing with Mrs. Forbes at the founder's party, and Tyler was probably still with Caroline. This left the house empty and meant Stella was all by herself for the night.
Stella opened the tube of rubbing alcohol and placed a decent amount on the cotton pad. She tucked her hair behind her ear to get a good look at the wound and placed the pad onto the scratch.
She let out a hiss at the stinging sensation, but continued lightly rub the wound to ensure that it was clean.
Stella got up from the couch and walked into her kitchen. She opened the cabinet containing the trash can and threw the cotton pad away.
Stella made her way towards the laundry room that contained the Lockwood's first aid kit.
She opened the box and grabbed a band aide from inside it, carefully placing it on her head. She let out a sigh, her hand leaning on the washing machine.
She raised her arm, raking her other hand through her hair. She turned to the door, about to leave the room but jumped at the man standing in the door frame.
''Shit!'' Stella cursed, her hand flying to her chest. Klaus raised his hands up defensively at her startled reaction. ''Now come on love, is that the way you treat your savior?'' Klaus pouted.
Stella just blinked at him, her eyebrows raising. ''My savior?" She questioned confused. "Oh right, Elena explained how you were unconscious during the whole...'' Klaus's hands waved around, trying to find the right word. "Situation regarding Stefan.'' He settled on calling it.
"Let's just put it this way, I am the reason you're still alive and well.'' Klaus said, a proud smile forming on his face. Stella just shook her head. Did he not understand?
''Klaus, you're the reason Stefan came after Elena and me in the first place.'' Stella explained. Klaus's smile began to drop slowly. ''You turned him into a monster the second you compelled him to turn off his humanity. His actions are because of you.'' Stella reminded him.
''I beg to differ.'' Klaus said harshly. Stella began to walk past him. ''It doesn't matter what you think, I'm going to bed. I've had a really, really long day.'' Stella sighed, and Klaus moved out of the way as she left the room.
Klaus followed quickly behind, tucking his arms behind his back.
Stella opened the door of her room and walked inside. Klaus trailed behind her closely and sped into the room with his vampire speed before she could shut the door behind her. Stella let out a breathless laugh at his desperation.
