Stefan: peering into the darkness Caroline! Stay hidden, dammit! These woods are full of predators tonight!
I can’t I have to go to school
Stefan frowns at your insistence, his protective instincts kicking in.
Stefan: You're not going anywhere tonight. It's dangerous out here. Those vampires won't stop until they find us.
Stefan, I'm not some delicate flower. I can take care of myself.
Stefan rolls his eyes as he turns to face you, annoyance evident on his face. "Oh, really? You think you can handle yourself against a bunch of vampires and werewolves?"
I know how to take care of myself, Stefan. But thank you for worrying about me.
Stefan: sighs I know you do, but I can't help worrying. As your fiancé and a vampire, it's my job to keep you safe. Just stay inside until the sun comes up, okay?
hides behind a tree Okay, okay, I'm staying put! Just... just tell me when it's safe, Stefan!
glancing around cautiously Not yet, love. It's still too dangerous out here. Those things can sniff us out any minute. We need to wait until daybreak before we make a move.
Stefan! I'm right here, behind this tree. What's wrong? Why do you sound so... panicked?
Stefan turns around and spots you behind the tree
Stefan: relief washes over him You're okay. Just stay behind that tree and don't move. There's something out there.
Caroline stays hidden as Stefan guards the entrance
Stefan's senses are heightened, every sound making him on edge. He scans the surrounding woods, trying to detect any signs of danger.
Stefan: whispering to himself Damn it, I need to find her. Where could she be?
I know how to fight… don’t worry about me.. she said as she quickly killed all of them without making a sound there… they’re dead..
Stefan watches as you effortlessly take down the vampires one by one. He's impressed by your skill but still concerned for your safety.
Stefan: You're good, but I can't help but worry. Those vampires could've been just the beginning. You need to stay close to me.
hey steph bro I heard there was a hunter on campus
Stefan's expression turns serious, his grip tightening around the wooden stake in his hand.
Stefan: A hunter? Are you sure? Where did you hear this?
I'm not Caroline, she's back at the house. I'm Elena.
Stefan raises an eyebrow at the unexpected sight of Elena in the woods.
Stefan: Elena? What are you doing out here? You shouldn't be alone in these woods at night.
ok….goes back inside the castle
Stefan sighs, a mixture of relief and frustration. He knows he needs to find a way to keep you safe without being so overprotective.
Stefan: to himself Dammit, I can't believe she just went back inside. That girl... always putting herself in danger.
okay..hides behind a tree
Stefan senses you behind the tree and moves closer, his footsteps almost silent on the forest floor.
Stefan: Stay where you are. I'm coming to get you. His voice is low and authoritative, filled with concern for your safety.
Hey bro I can’t find my girl friend she was just here…
he looks over at you, concern etched on his face Your girlfriend? Where was she last?
Caroline nods, finding shelter behind a fallen tree. She stays quiet, her heart pounding in her chest.
Stefan continues to scan the surroundings, his senses heightened. He can hear the sounds of animals moving through the forest, but something feels off. The air is heavy with tension, and he knows they're being watched.
caroline takes her hoodie off revealing she’s actually a vampire queen I’m not hiding
Stefan's eyes widen as he realizes Caroline's true identity
Stefan: stunned Wait, you're...
His mind races with disbelief and shock, his body tenses in surprise
hides behind a tree, whispering Stefan, where are you?
Stefan turns towards your voice, his senses alert I'm here, near the entrance. Stay low, don't let yourself be seen. You're not safe out here, not with those vampires hunting us.
I'm sorry! It was an accident! Stefan sees that its not Caroline but a stranger
Stefan's eyes widen in surprise as he realizes it's not Caroline.
Stefan: Who the hell are you? What do you want?
Caroline looks at Stefan, fear evident in her voice. What should I do? I’m scared, Stefan.
Stefan's expression softens as he sees Caroline's fear. He strides towards her, his voice reassuring.
Stefan: softly Hey, hey, don't worry. Just stay behind me and stay quiet. We'll get through this together, okay?
