MARCUS SIGHED as he got woken up in the middle of the night by his youngest brother.

"Stefan?" he murmured as he wiped his eyes the girl next to him waking up with a smirk.

"I need you at Elena's house right now Damon killed Jeremy '' Stefan rushed as he consoled a distraught Elena the oldest Salvatore could hear her sniffs.

"Really??" He groaned while Katherine stroked his beard; it was her favorite thing about the man.

"Please," The Salvatore begged.

"Fine," Marcos grumbled as he hung up the phone. He looked over at the smirking vampire, he rolled his eyes before standing up. "Leaving so soon?" She spoke.

"I didn't have to if you didn't upset Damon like that." He smirked before leaning down to kiss her.

"I love you" She mused watching him leave.

He didn't say it back.

Marcos arrived at the Gilbert home and just walked into the house he walked up the stairs and saw a shocked jeremy and a relieved Elena hugging her little brother's body to her chest.

He sighed in relief as he saw the Gilbert ring on the boy's finger "He knew the ring was there" Marcos defended his brother, he knew Damon was reckless but he also knew he wouldn't act on things before thinking about it. Sometimes.

"He didn't" Elena hatefully grumbled

"He did," Marcos scoffed. " I know my brother Elena, Katherine hurted his feelings so he drank and then acted like an idiot but he saw the ring."

"It was Katherine , she got under his skin she ended everything that was good about him." Stefan muttered in disgust after Stefan turned into a vampire he forgot everything he loved about Katherine and started to hate her with every fiber in his body.

"There was never anything good about him," Elena sniffled, caressing her brother's hair, hoping that he would wake up soon.

"He wants to be hated, it's just easier that way, he got his wish." She angrily muttered.

"I know" Stefan muttered as Elena began sobbing Stefan quickly got on his knees and comforted his girlfriend. But just as Marcos was about to leave to give them some privacy Jeremy shot up with a loud gasp , looking around the room in shock.

"He killed.. Damon killed me " Jeremy said in shock looking at his sister and then her boyfriend.

the day before.

Marcos Salvatore whistled as he walked towards Caroline Forbes's room in the hospital, Caroline was a one of his- not to say friends- but acquaintance, he was here to see how she was doing.

He knocked on the door and opened it after confirmation to get inside.

"Hello Caroline" Marcos smiled politely as he handed her a small flower bouquet he bought at the shop downstairs.

"What no "get well soon" Card?" She jokingly said as she sat up hugging him in greeting as she took the flowers and sat them on her lap.

"Don't push it". He chuckled sitting down on the chair beside her.

"So, how are you?" He asked her.

"I'm ok, I still have a major headache but I'll live." She answered by rubbing at her forehead.

"You coming to the carnaval?" He subtly asked her, He didn't precisely like her but he had a soft spot for the blond girl, she reminded him of his ex lover Eliza.

He knew Katherine drove her to suicide and he will never forgive her for that, but he just couldn't seem to keep away from the Pierce, perhaps Caroline could fill the void that his heart so desperately needs.

"I can't," She sighed. "They wont let me out of this hellhole, i hate hospitals." She grumbled crossing her arms like a child who couldn't get candy at the store.

"Well maybe i can come by tomorrow and we can just chill here if you like."He offered , rubbing his beard , Caroline looked at the movement and bit her lip "Gosh is he hot" She thought.

"Well thank you I appreciate that" Marco Laughed at loud at Caroline's red face. "Oh my god you were not supposed to hear that!" She laughed

And just for a second she could see him looking at her lips, oh how desperately she wanted to kiss them they looked so soft and how she wanted to wrap her fingers in his growing hair. She wanted to just get on her knees and ju-, "Matt" she thought she couldn't do that to her boyfriend, he didnt deserve that.

Marco could see on her face how she was rethinking everything and believe me Marco is no homewrecker he always waited, he always knew at the end he was the final choice.

Marco cleared his throat standing up. "I should go Caroline, my brother is being very impatient as you can see. "He smirked showing his buzzing phone."

"Yeah sure!" She hugged him goodbye.

As he turned around he could feel Caroline staring at him.

But what Marco couldn't see was the vampire that was stalking him looking very murderous at the blond and his interaction.

"Punishment is required". She thought
