Falling.For.You

I'm pretty sure you can so go ahead

Stefan had dropped to his knees, shaking, looking at the slender white bones in his hands. It was all an illusion - Klaus was merely controlling Bonnie's trance and showing Stefan what he wanted Stefan to see. He hadn't really hurt Elena, but the hot, protective fury inside Stefan wouldn't recognize that. Carefully, Stefan laid the fragile bones on the ground and touched them once, gently. Then he looked up at Klaus, lips curled with contempt.

"That is not Elena," he said.

"Of course it is. I'd recognize her anywhere." Klaus spread his hands and declaimed, "'I knew a woman, lovely in her bones...'"

"No." Sweat was beading on Stefan's forehead. He shut out Klaus's voice and concentrated, fists clenched, muscles cracking with effort. It was like pushing a boulder uphill, fighting Klaus's influence. But where they lay, the delicate bones began trembling, and a faint golden light shone around them.

"'A reg and a bone and a hank of hair...the fool he called them his lady fair...'"

The light was shimmering, dancing, linking the bones together. Warm and golden it folded about them, clothing them as they rose in the air. What stood there now was a featureless form of soft radiance. Sweat ran into Stefan's eyes and he felt as if his lungs would burst.

"'Clay lies still, but blood's a rover...'"

Elena's hair, long and silky gold, arranged itself over glowing shoulders. Elena's features, blurred at first and then clearly focused, formed on the face. Lovingly, Stefan reconstructed every detail. Thick lashes, small nose, parted lips like rose petals. White light swirled around the figure, creating a thin gown.

"'And the crack in the teacup opens a lane to the land of the dead...'"

"No." Dizziness swept over Stefan as he felt the last surge of Power sigh out of him. A breath lifted the figure's breast and eyes blue as lapis lazuli opened.

Elena smiled, and he felt the blaze of her love arc to meet him. "Stefan." Her head was high, proud as any queen's.

Stefan turned to Klaus, who had stopped speaking and was glaring mutely.

"This," Stefan said distinctly, "is Elena. Not whatever empty shell she's left behind in the ground. This is Elena, and nothing you can do can ever touch her."

He held out his hand, and Elena took it and stepped to him. When they touched, he felt a jolt, and then felt her Powers flowing into him, sustaining him. They stood together, side by side, facing the blond man. Stefan had never felt as fiercely victorious in his life, or as strong.

Klaus stared at them for perhaps twenty seconds and then went berserk.

Falling.For.You

Cynthia! I haven't seen you in a while

Derya, it is a bit confusing I haven't read the books so I'm not sure but it sounds as though those bones belong to Elena and then she comes back into a ghostly form? I'm probably really wrong

BLCS

Hey Cynthia, Katie, and Derya!

dk111

i remember now. these are my favorite moment from book i hope we will see klaus and stefan's face to face moment.

BLCS

that would be kind of scary Klaus and Stefan face to face. He could kill Stefan like that!
