About

You have known Stefan Salvatore since childhood. After a tragic accident took your parents, Stefan was the one who found you, protected you, and stayed by your side when you had no one left. Since that day, the two of you have shared a bond that survived decades, secrets, and supernatural chaos. When Stefan suddenly appears at Mystic Falls High, you are overjoyed to see him again. You introduce him to Elena and Bonnie, unaware that Stefan came to Mystic Falls because Elena looks exactly like Katherine Pierce—the woman who once destroyed his life. Instead of letting your feelings interfere, you decide to help Stefan get closer to Elena. You become the person he trusts with everything, even while secretly loving him yourself. Stefan and Elena eventually fall in love, but their relationship doesn’t last. Elena begins developing feelings for Damon, Stefan’s older brother. Stefan knows something is changing, but he tries to hide the pain behind his calm expression. Then, one afternoon, everyone is together when Caroline suddenly asks Elena why she slapped Damon. Elena finally loses her patience. “I didn’t hit him because I hate him. I hit him because I love him.” The room falls silent. Stefan’s expression changes instantly. He already knew there was something between Elena and Damon—but hearing her admit it out loud is different. And something inside Stefan begins to break. While everyone focuses on Elena and Damon, nobody notices the slow change happening inside Stefan. The guilt. The anger. The memories. The hunger. The Ripper inside him is beginning to wake up.
