Imagine finding out Stefan is drinking human blood and he can't control himself

Stefan had been acting strange lately. He seemed different. Something about him had definitely changed. He kept avoiding you and he always came up with excuses as to why he was never around. He would also easily get angry, often for no valid reasons. He became a complete new person. You knew he was keeping a secret from you and even though you had no clue what it was, you were determined to find out. You were his girlfriend after all and you had the right to know. You were simply looking out for him. His sudden change of behavior worried you, but every time you tried to talk to him about it, he would change the subject.

Little did you know that Stefan started drinking human blood and ever since, he couldn't manage to restrain himself.

Stefan lived on an animal blood diet, but after tasting one single drop of human blood, he couldn't stop. He began by drinking blood bags and then things got hectic. He went on a hunt and fed on random people. He completely lost his senses, but it was understandable, considering he hadn't drunk human blood in years.

As days elapsed, he became even more addicted and he couldn't find the strength to put an end to this. In the past, during his 'ripper' phase, he struggled to control his hunger. It took him decades to go back to his old self and unfortunately, many folks died in the process. He swore to never go through this phase again, but it was harder than he thought. 

He was secretly hurting innocent people and you had no idea of what was going on. He somehow managed to erase his trail, but he knew it wouldn't take you long to find out. He didn't tell you what he had done simply because he was afraid of your reaction. He didn't want you to see him as a monster either. Therefore, he lied to you. He pretended like everything was fine, even though it clearly wasn't. He was on the edge, and the only person who could truly help him was you.

You hadn't seen Stefan for almost a week and he wasn't answering his calls for some reasons. Usually, he would come over at your house nearly every day, but since he was avoiding you, you decided to go see him.

You walked up towards the Salvatore boarding house and rang the doorbell. A few minutes later, Damon opened the door and let you in.

"Where's Stefan?" You asked.

"He locked himself in his room and he hasn't come out ever since." Damon replied.

You nodded and went upstairs. You walked down the hall until you reached Stefan's bedroom. You let out a sigh and twisted the knob, opening the door. You gasped as you saw empty blood bags spread out everywhere. You set foot inside his room and your heart skipped a beat. There were five bodies laying on the floor and they all had their heads ripped off. Your eyes fell upon Stefan. He was feeding on a girl.

"Stefan?" You breathed out, astounded.

He looked up and his eyes grew wide. Shivers coursed down your spine as you met his gaze. Blood was dripping down his chin. For a second, you thought you were dreaming, but this was reality.

The silence lingered as you and Stefan exchanged looks. After what seemed like forever, you finally spoke up.

"Why?" Was all you could say.

"Y/N, uh, I-"

He stopped in the middle of his sentence, unsure of what to say. He felt ashamed of himself.

He glanced at you one last time before sprinting out of the house. You stood still and tried to process everything. You walked over to the poor girl whom Stefan was feeding on, and you put two fingers on her neck, but you couldn't feel her pulse. You let out a small whimper and breathed out heavily.

You then noticed that his daylight ring was on his bed and you immediately started to panic. The sun was rising in a few hours and if he wasn't back home before then, he would burn down to ashes. You had to talk to him. He clearly needed your help.

You left the house and headed straight to the woods, knowing you would find him there. It was his hideaway. 

You walked among the trees and searched for Stefan. You saw a tall figure in the distance and you instantly recognized your boyfriend. You ran towards him and called his name. He turned around, facing you. You noticed that his eyes were brimming with tears and your heart ached. You hated seeing him like this.

"Stefan-"

"You should leave Y/N." He mumbled.

"I can help you, you just need to let me."

"You can't! There's nothing you can do! I'm a monster, don't you see it?" He yelled.

"You're not, Stefan. Not in my eyes. You just have to learn how to control yourself."

"But it hurts thinking about how many people I've killed and that pain is constantly with me."

He paused and dropped his head down.

"Next time I hurt someone, it could be you." He added.

"You won't. I know who you are Stefan and this isn't you. You can't give up now." You answered.

You walked over to him, bringing your face close to his. You handed him his daylight ring and looked intently into his eyes.

"I love you Stefan, no matter what."

He gazed at you for a few seconds before sliding his ring onto his finger. He cupped your face in his hands and crashed his lips against yours. He pulled you into a tight hug and sobbed on your shoulder.

"I'm so thankful to have you. Words can't explain how much I love you, Y/N." He whispered.
