Private to Stefan
I know that I have no right to ask this, but the recent invasion was quite a wake up call to what might be possible here. The thing is, I can't fight back. Not after the compulsion, not in Portland.
Which means I'm in no position to help the people I care about. I don't expect you to believe that I've learned a little something from what happened with Santana, but if you have any influence over Rebekah I wondered if you might ask her to revoke the compulsion. I give you my word I will stick to the principles of it and if I don't I understand the consequences, but being unable to fight to protect people I love is not only frustrating, but dangerous.
