Stefan's Pov
I'm opening my eyes and see the most beautiful women laying next to me. Valerie is sleeping and she looks like an angel. Her golden hair is spread out on the pillow and even her breathing is heavenly. I hear quiet sobs coming from the room next to us. I quietly get up not to wake up my love. She's so precious. I walk to the other room amd see my 7 year old daughter who's sitting at the edge of her bed sobbing.

"What's wrong little angel?"I ask my babygirl as I take her into my arms. She snuggles closer to my chest and I pass an arm around her.

"I had a bad dream"She tells me. I keep kissing her forehead and stroking her hair.

"It was only just a dream honey, it wasn't real"I reassure my daughter.

"Promise you won't leave me"She looks up at me and I smile down at my little angel.

"Of course not pumpkin"I tell her and put her back to her bed once she fell asleep in arms.

The next morning, we're eating breakfast when the doorbell rings. I get and open it to see my brother standing there with his girlfriend Kathrine. Once Valerie told me she was witch–which I found really cool– Damon opened up about his girlfriend being vampire. Of course the idea that one day she'll turn him and I will loose him is bothering me but I can't and I won't interfere into his happiness.

"Damon"

"Hello brother"He says and hugs while I jug him back. Kathrine steps through the threshold and walks into the kitchen she's immediately met with Danielle running to her. Somehow she's not scared of her even after she accidentally saw her vampire face.

"Kathy" She says and Kathrine picks up the little girl. Valerie was about to speak up when a voice sounded from the front door. I walked there and found my father standing there with an officer from the army. What a hell are they doing here. I thought I made myself clear the day I left with Valerie. I don't want to be a soldier.

"Father, general can I help you with something" I say still keeping my manners.

"Well you see Stefan, I always thought you were the noble son and there is nothing more noble then fighting for you country isn't that right general Wade?"My father states looking at the general next to him.

"Yes that is quite right Mr.Salvatore. Now Stefan be a dear and invite us in will you" General Wade says and out politeness I step aside.

"Stefan you don't have to do anything you don't want to. You're over 18 and have a family of your own you can decide for yourself"My brother whisper's to my ear. Valerie and Kathrine stay by the wall clutching little Danielle in their arms. She looks so scared.

"Thank you for your offer general but I'm not a fighter I've never been. I don't belong onto the battlefield" I tell with a serious tone looking at them.

"Alright you made your choice"General Wade says and he pulls out a gun and aims it at Valerie and pulls the trigger. Then before I can react he shoots Damon and lastly he points the gun to my daughter who's crying in her mother's limb arms.

"No" I scream and jump infront of my daughter to protect her with my own body. "Over my dead body will you harm my daughter" I say and hear a gunshot before everything goes black.

As if nothing happened I wake up in the bed. I look and that's when it hits me. This isn't real it's the hellstone. It's making me see things. It feeds on the worst thing you ever did and creates a personal hell for you. Logically the only way to escape it would be to accept it but I'm not accepting the fact that Valerie and my little along with my brother are getting slaughtered.

I hear quiet sobs coming from the room next to us. I quietly get up not to wake up my love. She's so precious. I walk to the other room amd see my 7 year old daughter who's sitting at the edge of her bed sobbing.

"What's wrong little angel?"I ask my babygirl as I take her into my arms. She snuggles closer to my chest and I pass an arm around her. Everything is the same as the last time. Am I forced ro relive this day over and over for all eternity. No I won't allow it.

"I had a bad dream"She tells me. I keep kissing her forehead and stroking her hair.

"It was only just a dream honey, it wasn't real"I reassure my daughter.

"Promise you won't leave me"She looks up at me and I smile down at my little angel.

"Of course not pumpkin"I tell her and put her back to her bed once she fell asleep in arms.

At breakfast the doorbell rings and I greet my brother and Kathrine. Danie runs up to her and me and Damon turn to each other.

"Damon"

"Hello brother" We hug and we hear the doorbell. I open it to reveal my father and General Wade. So I am reliving the worst possible scenerio.

"Father, general can I help you with something" I say repeating the same sentence I said last time.

"Well you see Stefan, I always thought you were the noble son and there is nothing more noble then fighting for you country isn't that right general Wade?"My father states looking at the general next to him.

"Yes that is quite right Mr.Salvatore. Now Stefan be a dear and invite us in will you" General Wade says.

"Sure but first pull out your gun and place it out on the porch you don't want to scare the kid do you" I tell him and I see him placing the gun on the table.

Stefan you don't have to do anything you don't want to. You're over 18 and have a family of your own you can decide for yourself"My brother whisper's to my ear. This time I tell the girls to go upstairs and take my daughter with them so that we can sort this out.

"Thank you for your offer general but I'm not a fighter I've never been. I don't belong onto the battlefield" I tell with a serious tone looking at them.

"Alright I see you've made your choice"General Wade says and he leaves the house I'm about to turn around when my own father shoots my brother and me right into the stomach, blackness quickly consumes me. I failed again. I close my eyes waiting to wake up in the bed.

Instead I wake up on a table gasping for air. I look around to see I'm in the Lockwood mansion. What I'm out. I look around to see Caroline and Bonnie while my daughter is sleeping on the couch.

"Stefan. You're back" Caroline says and kisses me on the lips. I kiss her back. We would have continued if it wasn't for Bonnie's coughing.

"Yeah no thanks to the witch that broke you out" She says and hug her thightly.

"Thank you Bonnie" I say and then it hits me. Damon. Did they bring him out too.

"Where is Damon? Is he okay? Did you get him out?"I bombard them with questions but Bonnie shakes her head.

"We tried but we can't something seems to be holding him in" Bonnie explains. Damn it. I need brother. Now more then ever.

"Keep trying"I tell them and get from the table to sit next to my daughter. She slowly starts to wake up when she feels someone sitting next to her. She opens her eyes and jumps into my arms happily.

"Dad I was so worried about you and Uncle Damon"She tells me and sigh sadly. All this because I couldn't let go of revenge.

"I'm sorry, sweetie"I whisper to her and she nods telling me it's okay that it wasn't my fault but I know it was. I can feel it my bones in my heart.

"How do you feel dad? Please tell you don't have any urges to kill us?"My daughter asks and I think for second trying to regain my thoughts.

"I'm fine but I feel like I've just lived through my worst day twice" I tell her and she looks down onto the floor sighting.

"Dad you've been gone for over a year"Danie reveals and my mouth drops. A year!? Wow just Wow it felt like only days have passed by. Ohh god I was absent from her life for a whole year!?

"Where are the others?"I ask them and Caroline is the one who answers this time.

"Well Ric is at Withmore, Valerie is god knows where searching for a way to get you out"Caroline explains. Why didn't Danie go with her mom I'm sure they would bond together.

"Okay where is Damon's body we need to find him now" I say and get up but my daughter catches my sleeve. I'm confused at first but then the blanket slips from her body to reveal that she has a pregnant stomach. What she's pregnant. My daughter is pregnant!? Who? When? How? I guess I know how.

"What?"That's the only thing that can come out of my mouth now. She looks really weak and pale. Like she's been starved.

"A siphon witch. A girl she's been sucking up all the magic that's in her body. When the baby is older then 8months it would have sucked away all the magic there is inside of her, and she would desiccate. I'm sorry Stefan but we can't seem to be able to do anything to slow it down"Bonnie explains and I shake my head no. No no way I'm not loosing my daughter. Not after this not now,not ever. I'm going to find a way to save my babygirl even if I have to give up my own life to do it.

"No I'm not accepting that"I say and my daughter takes my hand in hers she is about to say something before she coughs gravely and spits out blood onto the floor. Caroline directs her to the couch and gives her a bloodbag.

"What's happening?"I ask Bonnie.

"Her body is rejecting the baby trying to save itself"She explains and I take seat next to my daughter. She looks like she's in the beginning of the second trimester. We go upstairs to check on Damon but he's not there. Why isn't he there? There's a note attached to his bed saying.

If you ever want Damon to know hos niece get to Luca's Pizzerie

Neither of us waste anytime and speed into the dinner to see Damon's body laying on one of the tables cover in gasoline. No. That's never a good sign. Next to him is Julian woth a lighter.

"I was wondering when you'd show up. Of course I wasn't expecting you Salvatore. You've been gon for quiet a long time" Julian says and the way he talks makes me want to rip his head straight off.

"What do you want?"Danie asks him her voice is laced with anger and fury.

"You and your entire family dead. Lily was a selfish fool to think she could have both but I loved her more then anything"Julian confes's. None of us move or respond which seems to only fuel his anger that we're aren't reacting towards his actions.

"Fine I'll start with him"He says and drops the lighter on Damon body. All of us scream no and try to take out the flames. But it's foo late his body is burned and my brother is forever stuck in hell and it's once again my fault.

I turn around to see him pointing a stake towards my Danie's heart. He looks me in the eyes as he pierces her heart. This time he doesn't misses. Her grey lifeless body falls down onto the floor. I cry erupts from Valerie's throat so powerful and loud I have to cover my ears. Then everything starts to fall apart. I feel like I'm going to pass out.

The next thing I know is gasping for breath again in the Lockwood mansion. I'm still inside the stone aren't am. I look around this my daughter is nowhere near. Where is she? Is she alright? Is this reality? Or this just another hellescape? I'm so confused.

"Stefan, Stefan tell me you know who you are" I hear Caroline say I look at the red stone on chest and take it off. Caroline keeps staring at me with anticipation.

"Yes I know who I am"

"Great, Bonnie are you okay?"Caroline asks her friend and just then I notice Valerie handing her a napkin to wipe away the blood from her nose.

"I'm fine"

"How do I know this is reality?" I ask them but myself too. They look at each other.

"Umm"Caroline hesitate like she doesn't know the answer to the question. She wants to reassure me that it's over, I can feel her hand going over mine.

"Because the hellstone wouldn't know about me" A girl from behind says and I recognize that voice. But it can't be.

"Lexa?"I ask her questioningly and she makes a drum roll with her hands on the table.

"Yeah and we have problem Stefan" She tells and I look at the others to maybe get a clue of what she's saying.

Hello guys how are you? Curios question at what time do you read my stories cause I normally post them at 7am before I go to school. This chapter is focused on Stefan's hell and I really liked writing it. As you saw I twisted a lot of things. Hope you like it and see you on Sunday.
