Chapter 12: Stefan Is Dead
It has been 10 years since Stefan left Chicago, he has reunited with Lexi again and together they traveled around the globe following leads of Klaus everywhere but gave up eventually as it seems Klaus has picked up his favourite trick from the show, body possession which makes it difficult to catch him.
Stefan then began counting the number of years he has been separated from his children and promised to pay Klaus back by tenfold.
Throughout his travels, he turned several people into vampires who in turn, turned others into vampires, due to his sire bond all the vampires he turned an organization solely for himself and made Al Capone his second in command and report directly to him alone.
This Organization will spread out their influence around the world, from having clubs registered under his name to large hospitals that was focused into creating the werewolf cure and with that he can have a foothold in both the supernatural world and the mundane world and the best thing about owning a hospital, is the steady supply of blood and nobody would even care about it.
Miami
Today, he is in Miami beach under the sun getting a tan when he saw a very beautiful woman, She is of medium height with long, dark brown hair that is always down. She has round brown eyes and olive toned skin..
He stood up and walked to her "yeah, I'm Stefan, I couldn't help but notice you standing all by yourself, can I know your name?" Said Stefan as he looked at the woman.
"I'm Seline and I am here alone for a reason but since you are here, my master would like to have a taste of your soul" said the woman who turned out to be one of the two sirens to ever exist, Seline, the cannibal.
Stefan acted confused and oblivious as to what she is talking about "what do you mean by master? Are you into that sort of thing?" Said Stefan who was laughing inside of his head.
Seline frown when he said that but calmed herself as she has works to do "oh, don't worry, you will soon know very soon" she said as she stated humming a sweet melodious tone as she looked into Stefan's eyes.
After she finished humming her tone, she turned around and left while winking at Stefan.
Stefan was in trance and did not know what was going on anymore as he has only one thing in his mind, 'take a wood a drive it through your heart' that's the only thing that's going through his head right now.
He went to look for a wooden stake or anything made out of wood to stake himself.
He finally found a wooden chair and dragged the person sitting on it and broke the chair.
He took the pieces and staked himself with it, immediately he staked himself, his body started to dessicate until he completely died.
Lexi who was having fun on the other side of the bench alongside an attractive young woman with Asian roots, standing 5'5" tall with brown eyes and hair, she is Annabelle Zhu, the daughter of Pearl, one of the tomb vampires.
They saw the commotion and decided to take a look where they found Stefan dessicated "no, no, Stefan" said Lexi as she immediately ran to her friend.
She carried him in her arms and called out his name several times hoping he was going to get up but he didn't respond to her call, she started to get teary and shook her friend trying to get him to come back but to no avail.
Anna compelled one of the people present to tell her what happened and when she found out, she took a step back and turned around to look at Stefan lying there dead and Lexi all teary trying her best to wake him up despite knowing that there is nothing they can do.
"He is dead, there is nothing we can do Lexi" said Anna as she went to comfort Lexi.
Lexi shook her head and cleaned her tears "I don't believe that, Stefan can't just die like that, he is too strong to just die like this, there must be a way to save him"
Anna just looked at Lexi ranting like a mad woman and could only sigh.
Before Anna could get Lexi to let go of Stefan, he woke up with a gasp and looked around him before having an idea about what happened, he was sirened by Seline.
**Ding, you have been sirened for the first time**
**Congratulations, you have awakened the new ability Psychic Defense**
Stefan smiled when he saw the notification as everything worked as he thought it would be, now it is time to go for Siren hunting.
"What just happened? I saw you died, a stake to the heart, no vampire can survive from that, so how did you manage to survive?" Anna asked clearly confused by the revelation and the miracle that just happened.
Meanwhile Lexi didn't care about that and just hugged her best friend.
After he was released by Lexi, Stefan got up and together with the help of Lexi and Anna, they compelled everyone on the beach to forget what happened.
Stefan then went ahead to tell the girls how special he was after he became a vampire and how it had something to do with the Salvatore bloodline as even his brother was also like him, a special vampire.
The reason why he said that was because Stefan is planning on bestowing most of his special abilities to Damon and to make his story believable in the future.
"So where are we going to find that Siren bitch" ask Lexi ready to break Seline's skulls.
"She is currently on her way to Downtown Miami Hotel, we can catch up with her there" said Stefan.
Stefan didn't just go without any plan when going to speak to Seline, he knew the moment he approaches her, she is going to siren him to kill himself which why he secretly placed a mark on her so that he could be able to track her down after he comes back.
The Mark is a special ability that enables him to track down anyone with that Mark anywhere they were even if they are cloaked, he could still find them.
He got it after tracking down Anna all by himself which was easy given he knew she was looking for answers on how to release her mother from that tomb, so he used that to his advantage.
Not long after, the finally made it to the hotel and went to Seline's floor and rang the bell to her door.
"Who's there?"
They heard a voice from the other side of the room, presumably Seline's.
"Room service" said Lexi.
"Okay, will be tight there in a minute" said Seline who came to open the door not too long after.
As soon as she opens the door, Lexi immediately slammed her across the room, making her crash to the wall dead.
"I supposed she is just so so and here I thought she would be tough" said Lexi as she looked at the bloody wall with Seline's body there.
"I wouldn't say tha..."
Before Stefan could complete his statement, Seline opened her eyes as she came back to life.
"Why can't anyone stay dead today?"
