but when happiness comes crashing down， it's always accompanied by the smell of blood.

he tried to push himself back up but failed miserably.

his vision began to blur , stefan fighting until he slipped into unconsciousness.

[* 𝝡𝖠𝗦𝙆𝗘𝖣 𝗦TRANG͜͡ER ‍𓉸 @abidingfangs]

she was speaking in riddles again , leaving stefan to do what he always did with katherine —— anticipate whatever twisted move came next. this time , the hunger had consumed too much of his attention. ⤦

such an opportunity; Stefan is ( yet again ) at his lowest and that Lexi is nowhere near. typical Katherine could use this to manipulate him, get everything and anything she might’ve ever wanted from him. well, thankfully for Stefan, {…}

[* 𝝡𝖠𝗦𝙆𝗘𝖣 𝗦TRANG͜͡ER ‍𓉸 @abidingfangs]

a strained groan left his lips as he collapsed onto the ground.

“ what the hell did you do , katherine ?̲ ” he managed to mutter through clenched teeth , palms digging into the dirt as another wave of agony ran through him. ⤦

@silkandgore / GTFOOOO😭 he’s gonna secretly enjoy this 

[* 𝝡𝖠𝗦𝙆𝗘𝖣 𝗦TRANG͜͡ER ‍𓉸 @abidingfangs]

it was 𝑢𝑛𝘩𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑑 , almost foreign coming from him. stefan hardly recognized the sound himself.

[* 𝝡𝖠𝗦𝙆𝗘𝖣 𝗦TRANG͜͡ER ‍𓉸 @abidingfangs]

his jaw clenches , darkened hues following her like a falcon stalking its prey. this was his true nature —— what he could become , what he could slip back into if he stopped fighting. ⤦

[🐈‍⬛ ‍𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑦 ‍𝙵𝙰𝙲𝙴, ‍𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑘 ‍𝒔𝖔𝒖𝒍 @silkandgore]

“you know i’m always nearby.. pay more attention to the shadows and you just *might catch me.”

Katherine acts playful as always, filled with wicked intent, however she’s always been near Stefan when he was going through something. even {…}

[* 𝝡𝖠𝗦𝙆𝗘𝖣 𝗦TRANG͜͡ER ‍𓉸 @abidingfangs]

“ you really can’t listen , can you ?̲ i told you to leave. you know how intimate feeding on another vampire can be. ”

a chuckle escaped him , but there was nothing amusing about it. ⤦

[* 𝝡𝖠𝗦𝙆𝗘𝖣 𝗦TRANG͜͡ER ‍𓉸 @abidingfangs]

his voice comes out strained 𖬺͟ 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 , hues darkening as he fights to suppress the urge.

[* 𝝡𝖠𝗦𝙆𝗘𝖣 𝗦TRANG͜͡ER ‍𓉸 @abidingfangs]

stefan trembles , not because he fears her , but because he can no longer control the hunger ( * gnawing ) at him.

“ katherine , why are you here ?̲ to torment me ?̲ leave. ” ⤦

[🐈‍⬛ ‍𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑦 ‍𝙵𝙰𝙲𝙴, ‍𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑘 ‍𝒔𝖔𝒖𝒍 @silkandgore]

“you know you want to, Stefan.” the she - devil coos, taking a couple steps closer to him like a feline approaching prey or a loved one. hard to distinguish between the two. “if anything, you need to.”

[* 𝝡𝖠𝗦𝙆𝗘𝖣 𝗦TRANG͜͡ER ‍𓉸 @abidingfangs]

he steps forward. his lips hover near her carotid artery —— his favorite.

his eyes close again before finally sinking his fangs into her skin.

[* 𝝡𝖠𝗦𝙆𝗘𝖣 𝗦TRANG͜͡ER ‍𓉸 @abidingfangs]

he could smell it on her —— the fresh scent of human 𝑏𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑑. she had fed recently.

he’d been feeling far too weak lately from the lack of it. ⤦

[‍ ♱⃓ ‍ ‍ 𝓭𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝘆 ‍ ‍ ◞ ‍ ‍ 𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒆 @sanguinehrt]

temptation was foreign for her—— if anything she understood it far too well. that hunger , its pull , the restraint that always felt nearly impossible to control. ⠀⤸

[* 𝝡𝖠𝗦𝙆𝗘𝖣 𝗦TRANG͜͡ER ‍𓉸 @abidingfangs]

he looks at the woman , knowing he shouldn’t feed from another vampire , especially ℎ𝑒𝑟.

this could change their dynamic after centuries of knowing each other. far more cons than pros ⤦

[* 𝝡𝖠𝗦𝙆𝗘𝖣 𝗦TRANG͜͡ER ‍𓉸 @abidingfangs]

the﹙* 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳'𝘴 ﹚ invitation to 𝔣𝑒𝑒𝑑 is tempting 𖬺͟ his restraint is wearing thin. if he could have just one bite —— or two
