Stefan's POV

I was wrong, I had known that the second I had shouted at her, the second I had raised my voice at Caroline, my friend, my sister, my family.

Currently, I was sitting a chair, my face in my head as I cursed at myself after I had deposited caroline at the bed.

I had never hated anyone more than I hated myself at that moment. I had made her cry, I was the cause of her tears, the reason she had a breakdown. I had wanted something and I blindly went to her, without knowing the consequences.

In the process, I had hurt one of the people I loved, one of the people I trusted.

"Stefan?" I hear a sweet voice call out and twist around in the chair to find Caroline lying on the bed, staring at me. "Why are you crying?"

"Caroline," I say, choking on my own tears, "because I hurt you, aren't you angry at me?"

"Of Course I am Stefan, but that doesn't mean that I don't love you, and it doesn't mean that I will never talk to you again," she says, and I vamp speed to the hug, crushing her in a hug as I sob on her shoulder.

After a few minutes which included me crying on Caroline's shoulder, I get up, ridding my eyes of the salty tears that had managed to make it down my face. After making sure that Caroline was all fine, I made way to get outside and possibly check up on Cora who had managed to faint while performing the spell.

"Stefan, I have decided that I'm going to try and bring back Finn and Sage, the keyword being try," Caroline says slowly, a tired smile on her face.

"Care, you don't have to do that, I was acting selfishly with you and that's not fair, I completely understand if you don't want to," I say.

"I want to," Caroline says, coming forward from her sitting position on the bed and taking my hand in soft ones, "If we really want to stand a chance in this war then we have to do this, maybe Finn is going to be the final chess piece that we need to completely end this war, once and for all"

"But what if he decides to join Ester and the others" I question, now doubting my idea which had seemed perfect at the time.

"Then we end him, we make him regret evening thinking about betraying us," She says which makes me a bit scared, Caroline was always the bubbly and cheery type, whenever she gets that glint in her eyes, that dangerous fire that makes her look like she could rip out my heart and only feel sad that her hands got dirty, I feel scared of the things she could do.

"Now you can go tell Rebekah and leave me alone to rest," Caroline says, her smile back on he cheery face as I get red with embarrassment.

"How did you know I was doing this for Rebekah?" I ask her, feeling more and more guilty with every word I spoke, I wanted to make Bekah feel happy, and for that, I was ready to hurt my sister

"You love her, it's obvious by the way you look at her, by the way, your face seems to glow every time she enters the room, but she doesn't know, I don't know how it's so obvious," She says laughing and I turn redder and redder.

"Just like you don't know how much Klaus fancies you" I throw back at her as she clutches a pillow to her heart and then throws it at me, aiming for my head as I bark out in laughter at her red face.

"Shut up, Stefan," She says gritting her teeth as she tries to contain her flustering and the huge pounding of her heart that I could hear clear as day.

I make a dash out of the door as Caroline takes another pillow to throw in my direction, I make it to the hall but make an impact with a hard head as a thud echo's the hall, "I'm so sorry Klaus, I wasn't looking where I was going, but I have to go now, I have something very important to tell to someone very important," I say as I look at Klaus, too exited to control my excitement (that line made no sense to me too lol)

I make my way for Rebekah's room and knock on it twice, when it opens I immediately enter and look at my Bekah, looking as gorgeous as ever. "Are you all right Stefan? You look as happy as an over excited pupper" she says, which is probably true.

"I convinced Caroline to bring Finn and sage back to life"

Rebekah gasps in shock and vamps towards me and pulls me in a hug and I hug her back, caressing her hair as I put a kiss there. "thank you, Stefan, I don't know what to say or what to do to repay the kindness that Caroline has showed me"

"Well, you could make sure that Finn is on our side if he comes back, along with sage," I say, too absorbed in touching her hair to care about anything else.

CRASH!

A voice comes in my ear as I leave Bekah as me and her vamp speed downstairs, where broken vases and chairs upturned lie, and in the middle of it all, stand one person that I thought I would never see again. The one person who left me in Mystic falls to fend for myself. Oh my Gods, if Caroline saw him here, after all, that had happened, but what if she already did?

"Hello Brother"
