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.558Please respect copyright.PENANA6OgpHxKCcs
I open the door.558Please respect copyright.PENANAK4A7cQ5icP
"Morning sunshine," I greet Elena.558Please respect copyright.PENANAeayvX8yPuG
"Hey, how's Alaric?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAIDaVPdLDkZ
"Indecent. But fine."558Please respect copyright.PENANAzB4NDwLwbT
"So then, does that mean there was no issues last night?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAmfCB4XerFN
"Nope. Slept like a baby, woke up Alaric. No head minds about dead council members."558Please respect copyright.PENANAueZivVjaUA
"Then why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAqlyOBm9PUz
"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."558Please respect copyright.PENANAAoAXGABxJ1
She takes the bag from me.558Please respect copyright.PENANAijgDf02Ehn
"They're not for you."558Please respect copyright.PENANA9coJBr5Aff
"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."558Please respect copyright.PENANAMZ72t7u7TF
"Just take it and give it to him and tell him I miss him, okay?"558Please respect copyright.PENANAuGY4kOARQf
She hands me the bag of muffins.558Please respect copyright.PENANAzChrPuXEv0
"With pleasure," I reply.558Please respect copyright.PENANAivtGP0VUz5
"Please."558Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZdN9rYobH
I start to shut the door on her.558Please respect copyright.PENANAKJ9rka9x2e
"Have a great day, thanks for coming by."558Please respect copyright.PENANAC48VZIGYti
"Dam…" she starts to say, but I close the door on her.558Please respect copyright.PENANAQ464Gquu9K
After closing the door, I walk over to where Ric and Stefan are standing by a saw with the Whickery Bridge sign.558Please respect copyright.PENANAJXXpXjuPgi
I listen to Elena leaving.558Please respect copyright.PENANAWegMUx3IGK
"Walking down the stairs, opening the front door, and she's gone."558Please respect copyright.PENANAG8rFViFaaj
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.558Please respect copyright.PENANAKPVIB1ZVjX
"Looks like you guys have got it under control. I'm calling the sheriff. I want to turn myself in."558Please respect copyright.PENANAlrxc6lVRjc
Stefan and I look at him.558Please respect copyright.PENANAkPlAwHL7nw
"No you don't," I say.558Please respect copyright.PENANAQclzx7bPAM
"I have a homicidal alter ego. Unlike some people in this room, I would like to take responsibility for the people I've killed."558Please respect copyright.PENANAtb3Tu3wzdK
"If you wanted to turn yourself in, you wouldn't be saying it out loud. Just saying."558Please respect copyright.PENANA0bpNlT4lOx
"Hey, listen, out of all the people you cannot psychoanalyze me. I killed Caroline's father, I nearly killed Meredith. Everything's changed."558Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ6vNrxrMu
"Look, you're not turning yourself in. Bonnie's herbs are working and we have Originals to kill," Stefan says to Ric.558Please respect copyright.PENANAi7xo7Xb5WR
"His morals get questionable when he has revenge on the brain," I tell Ric.558Please respect copyright.PENANA2xrWIONxcG
"Klaus needs to die. We finally have the chance to kill him, so you're not turning yourself in," Stefan says.558Please respect copyright.PENANAGrpvsKzwLI
I walk up to Alaric and give him his ring.558Please respect copyright.PENANAyPZkmbtv3Y
"Here's your ring, Ric. Put it on."558Please respect copyright.PENANAjYiYOGquLT
"That ring is the reason I've killed people."558Please respect copyright.PENANATMWIXwaBGP
"It's also the reason you're alive. You're going vampire hunting, Ric. Wear it."558Please respect copyright.PENANAqUgJpWgyDG
He takes the ring and puts it on.
I place my White Oak stake underneath a pile of firewood at home. It's night.558Please respect copyright.PENANALgv9vLlGNP
"Did you learn anything from the moonstone in the soap dish?" Ric asks me.558Please respect copyright.PENANACQa2XYuN8X
"Why? Where'd you put yours?"558Please respect copyright.PENANA1ImjL2rsT0
We hear a sudden noise from downstairs and I get up.558Please respect copyright.PENANAwcvHurWMzd
"What the hell was that?" Ric asks.558Please respect copyright.PENANAWP9dB3NwqP
I leave the room and walk downstairs.558Please respect copyright.PENANAyr2sVCGAaT
Suddenly, I see Alaric get thrown down the stairs.
"Ric?" I say.558Please respect copyright.PENANAk6z7fcIYK0
I look up the stairs and then turn around, only to get stabbed in the stomach by Rebekah.558Please respect copyright.PENANAlMmGuk7FOe
"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.558Please respect copyright.PENANApGPfb3ZjSi
Klaus makes a comment and Rebekah says, "I am very capable of torture."558Please respect copyright.PENANAkAC55DM3MF
"I'm sure you are," he replies to his only sister.
Later, I have a day dream of Elena rescuing me from being tortured.558Please respect copyright.PENANASq5XcgTFn9
When it stops, I hear Rebekah walk into the room from the set of doors that are behind me.558Please respect copyright.PENANAR8vxJICTpW
"You know how easy it was to get inside your head just now?" she says, before going to stand in front of me.558Please respect copyright.PENANAq0Vww2MqVH
Klaus walks in on us again. This time I'm very weak.558Please respect copyright.PENANAVug0qpwySj
"Go home," he says to me.558Please respect copyright.PENANAbkeI2wr681
"No," I answer.558Please respect copyright.PENANAuD2todRc6v
He looks into my eyes, compelling me.558Please respect copyright.PENANAhNST14irW1
"Go home."558Please respect copyright.PENANAvVo1EgrMYu
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.558Please respect copyright.PENANAEokIcDIcrf
"Stop. Just stop it already," Rebekah says to her older brother.558Please respect copyright.PENANAwTSDwemqZE
She unchains me, letting me go free, and I fall to the floor on my knees.558Please respect copyright.PENANA50CEPTLwU5
She looks at her brother with a warning look.
