It's a beautiful day. Ric, Stefan, and I are at Ric's apartment. I hear a knock on the door and the familiar scent of human and know it's Elena Gilbert.498Please respect copyright.PENANAsRWIHa3Xpg
I open the door.498Please respect copyright.PENANAHNxz5zAf0c
"Morning sunshine," I greet Elena.498Please respect copyright.PENANAqUXUyES0v8
"Hey, how's Alaric?"498Please respect copyright.PENANA6KpkEsk0TK
"Indecent. But fine."498Please respect copyright.PENANADMgAYbNY54
"So then, does that mean there was no issues last night?"498Please respect copyright.PENANA5QbzidBKwt
"Nope. Slept like a baby, woke up Alaric. No head minds about dead council members."498Please respect copyright.PENANAAYn75ZHcNi
"Then why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?"498Please respect copyright.PENANAagsncHYiQa
"Well, maybe because you're being all paranoid and control freaky. What'd you bring me?" I ask, taking the bag and sniffing it. "Ooh, chocolate muffins. You know what they say; a way to a psycho killer's heart is through his stomach."498Please respect copyright.PENANA9h3oZslfws
She takes the bag from me.498Please respect copyright.PENANAFsXwTiXYJH
"They're not for you."498Please respect copyright.PENANARS6izExaJG
"Fine. Keep convincing yourself you're still mad at me. But sadly, Ric's gonna have to miss Elena time today. You know lock down and all."498Please respect copyright.PENANApyjm4cupyh
"Just take it and give it to him and tell him I miss him, okay?"498Please respect copyright.PENANAxyCnT5R0oD
She hands me the bag of muffins.498Please respect copyright.PENANAdtodRcdbzl
"With pleasure," I reply.498Please respect copyright.PENANAh1cVryzq1D
"Please."498Please respect copyright.PENANALMGTf56NqP
I start to shut the door on her.498Please respect copyright.PENANAfuW0LpX4Pe
"Have a great day, thanks for coming by."498Please respect copyright.PENANA9ETeFzbaut
"Dam…" she starts to say, but I close the door on her.498Please respect copyright.PENANA6Tk3RdRf4s
After closing the door, I walk over to where Ric and Stefan are standing by a saw with the Whickery Bridge sign.498Please respect copyright.PENANAjbnD0Zs7MR
I listen to Elena leaving.498Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4okuSqt4D
"Walking down the stairs, opening the front door, and she's gone."498Please respect copyright.PENANATuRdUxUch3
Alaric turns the saw on and begins to saw the sign.
After we finish making stakes to kill the Originals, Alaric puts his jacket on.498Please respect copyright.PENANAsicJe6ZN4q
"Looks like you guys have got it under control. I'm calling the sheriff. I want to turn myself in."498Please respect copyright.PENANAIYIfbBn83z
Stefan and I look at him.498Please respect copyright.PENANAjVw3sdb7fe
"No you don't," I say.498Please respect copyright.PENANAq3lGtq9jCR
"I have a homicidal alter ego. Unlike some people in this room, I would like to take responsibility for the people I've killed."498Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6iH1Qw2gy
"If you wanted to turn yourself in, you wouldn't be saying it out loud. Just saying."498Please respect copyright.PENANAWdBlOEk85a
"Hey, listen, out of all the people you cannot psychoanalyze me. I killed Caroline's father, I nearly killed Meredith. Everything's changed."498Please respect copyright.PENANA9FnjAh9zdx
"Look, you're not turning yourself in. Bonnie's herbs are working and we have Originals to kill," Stefan says to Ric.498Please respect copyright.PENANAtb67zoLbcA
"His morals get questionable when he has revenge on the brain," I tell Ric.498Please respect copyright.PENANA92WgFqmTYq
"Klaus needs to die. We finally have the chance to kill him, so you're not turning yourself in," Stefan says.498Please respect copyright.PENANAybcJXajTFp
I walk up to Alaric and give him his ring.498Please respect copyright.PENANA5tG73q78rs
"Here's your ring, Ric. Put it on."498Please respect copyright.PENANAmzQyxjXI62
"That ring is the reason I've killed people."498Please respect copyright.PENANAIbKtJOOGxd
"It's also the reason you're alive. You're going vampire hunting, Ric. Wear it."498Please respect copyright.PENANAJuKL6t4tPf
He takes the ring and puts it on.
I place my White Oak stake underneath a pile of firewood at home. It's night.498Please respect copyright.PENANAukJQ7bvpcT
"Did you learn anything from the moonstone in the soap dish?" Ric asks me.498Please respect copyright.PENANAF3T07pWSUp
"Why? Where'd you put yours?"498Please respect copyright.PENANAjy0qmFJw1N
We hear a sudden noise from downstairs and I get up.498Please respect copyright.PENANAmfqHLvSy0N
"What the hell was that?" Ric asks.498Please respect copyright.PENANA87vBaulgps
I leave the room and walk downstairs.498Please respect copyright.PENANAHEiq1NlznQ
Suddenly, I see Alaric get thrown down the stairs.
"Ric?" I say.498Please respect copyright.PENANA6G0XPnY4IK
I look up the stairs and then turn around, only to get stabbed in the stomach by Rebekah.498Please respect copyright.PENANAgRKhWGlosW
"Hello, lover," she says.
When I wake up, I'm hanging from the ceiling by chains with my shirt torn and I'm bleeding from being cut by a dagger; probably the one that Rebekah holds in her hand, as she stands in front of me. I then wince, as she cuts me with the dagger on my chest straight down. She stops though, when Klaus walks in, interrupting her torture.498Please respect copyright.PENANANkkVFOe21u
Klaus makes a comment and Rebekah says, "I am very capable of torture."498Please respect copyright.PENANAz2i6pHlueA
"I'm sure you are," he replies to his only sister.
Later, I have a day dream of Elena rescuing me from being tortured.498Please respect copyright.PENANASjD4GSECjt
When it stops, I hear Rebekah walk into the room from the set of doors that are behind me.498Please respect copyright.PENANAtc0eOT46Sz
"You know how easy it was to get inside your head just now?" she says, before going to stand in front of me.498Please respect copyright.PENANASCobubdl6l
Klaus walks in on us again. This time I'm very weak.498Please respect copyright.PENANAOgYTYVBMfm
"Go home," he says to me.498Please respect copyright.PENANAzPZFOgVWBC
"No," I answer.498Please respect copyright.PENANAgWh0KYX64Y
He looks into my eyes, compelling me.498Please respect copyright.PENANA7JKMS70KpW
"Go home."498Please respect copyright.PENANAK3vUVNx2B5
I'm compelled so I have to do as he says. I have no control over myself anymore, and I try to break from the chains to obey him.498Please respect copyright.PENANAY6KLbUpGVT
"Stop. Just stop it already," Rebekah says to her older brother.498Please respect copyright.PENANAaD6OcqLLvD
She unchains me, letting me go free, and I fall to the floor on my knees.498Please respect copyright.PENANAVYN12Ut2fo
She looks at her brother with a warning look.
