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.500Please respect copyright.PENANA2GwB79HEzP
I open the door.500Please respect copyright.PENANAYMOHypjPst
"Morning sunshine," I greet Elena.500Please respect copyright.PENANAdChyGUZ0Me
"Hey, how's Alaric?"500Please respect copyright.PENANAB2tyvZCDe3
"Indecent. But fine."500Please respect copyright.PENANALusB1KyAzF
"So then, does that mean there was no issues last night?"500Please respect copyright.PENANAqAS5ASySpA
"Nope. Slept like a baby, woke up Alaric. No head minds about dead council members."500Please respect copyright.PENANASZfihJU37p
"Then why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?"500Please respect copyright.PENANAUSyWhHCwlH
"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."500Please respect copyright.PENANAZfvr8PKKEi
She takes the bag from me.500Please respect copyright.PENANAydmCxyWdRw
"They're not for you."500Please respect copyright.PENANATrjBn0wqaY
"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."500Please respect copyright.PENANAG4FHRoj1PJ
"Just take it and give it to him and tell him I miss him, okay?"500Please respect copyright.PENANAQnmzTK3e5s
She hands me the bag of muffins.500Please respect copyright.PENANANKDkCYsedU
"With pleasure," I reply.500Please respect copyright.PENANA26CcOPL6Y3
"Please."500Please respect copyright.PENANAfzIQGbl2At
I start to shut the door on her.500Please respect copyright.PENANAjYRnJFiOFU
"Have a great day, thanks for coming by."500Please respect copyright.PENANATFxn4iTjEr
"Dam…" she starts to say, but I close the door on her.500Please respect copyright.PENANAYN7yMydKzu
After closing the door, I walk over to where Ric and Stefan are standing by a saw with the Whickery Bridge sign.500Please respect copyright.PENANAV5ByR8ftK2
I listen to Elena leaving.500Please respect copyright.PENANAMfZCksJBKa
"Walking down the stairs, opening the front door, and she's gone."500Please respect copyright.PENANAhYHkgc4bgj
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.500Please respect copyright.PENANAgLerVtqZ8z
"Looks like you guys have got it under control. I'm calling the sheriff. I want to turn myself in."500Please respect copyright.PENANAlGVz3uuVg4
Stefan and I look at him.500Please respect copyright.PENANAezemPnOoB4
"No you don't," I say.500Please respect copyright.PENANAQbH08uYmmq
"I have a homicidal alter ego. Unlike some people in this room, I would like to take responsibility for the people I've killed."500Please respect copyright.PENANAhm4B7iVDOG
"If you wanted to turn yourself in, you wouldn't be saying it out loud. Just saying."500Please respect copyright.PENANAh6M394cgXq
"Hey, listen, out of all the people you cannot psychoanalyze me. I killed Caroline's father, I nearly killed Meredith. Everything's changed."500Please respect copyright.PENANAU0KpKdhOAH
"Look, you're not turning yourself in. Bonnie's herbs are working and we have Originals to kill," Stefan says to Ric.500Please respect copyright.PENANAMJC8IfwaSp
"His morals get questionable when he has revenge on the brain," I tell Ric.500Please respect copyright.PENANAWKu1EYUHPu
"Klaus needs to die. We finally have the chance to kill him, so you're not turning yourself in," Stefan says.500Please respect copyright.PENANAKlityWA61d
I walk up to Alaric and give him his ring.500Please respect copyright.PENANAA9SB5NoT3m
"Here's your ring, Ric. Put it on."500Please respect copyright.PENANAy8IfL6F63f
"That ring is the reason I've killed people."500Please respect copyright.PENANAb31Clt5Thh
"It's also the reason you're alive. You're going vampire hunting, Ric. Wear it."500Please respect copyright.PENANA7mly99OLKn
He takes the ring and puts it on.
I place my White Oak stake underneath a pile of firewood at home. It's night.500Please respect copyright.PENANAjN1RRSBdEn
"Did you learn anything from the moonstone in the soap dish?" Ric asks me.500Please respect copyright.PENANA6DWvUY9eHk
"Why? Where'd you put yours?"500Please respect copyright.PENANAxujgw8CZyu
We hear a sudden noise from downstairs and I get up.500Please respect copyright.PENANA3cwzk2Uyi5
"What the hell was that?" Ric asks.500Please respect copyright.PENANAbmDvGc7LVT
I leave the room and walk downstairs.500Please respect copyright.PENANAdgRuUz6FFE
Suddenly, I see Alaric get thrown down the stairs.
"Ric?" I say.500Please respect copyright.PENANAKVm77AIXkO
I look up the stairs and then turn around, only to get stabbed in the stomach by Rebekah.500Please respect copyright.PENANA9Dl9Fs3nYY
"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.500Please respect copyright.PENANAg8yY5PUHtX
Klaus makes a comment and Rebekah says, "I am very capable of torture."500Please respect copyright.PENANAzEstm8WVEj
"I'm sure you are," he replies to his only sister.
Later, I have a day dream of Elena rescuing me from being tortured.500Please respect copyright.PENANA8MLlLYBzdC
When it stops, I hear Rebekah walk into the room from the set of doors that are behind me.500Please respect copyright.PENANANy300FIjhB
"You know how easy it was to get inside your head just now?" she says, before going to stand in front of me.500Please respect copyright.PENANAF973QISJ9w
Klaus walks in on us again. This time I'm very weak.500Please respect copyright.PENANAU8EmZhYkgb
"Go home," he says to me.500Please respect copyright.PENANA6EeFWcHa3N
"No," I answer.500Please respect copyright.PENANA0Reg4vqXA9
He looks into my eyes, compelling me.500Please respect copyright.PENANA7S9r8szAye
"Go home."500Please respect copyright.PENANAuC0JL4IMN8
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.500Please respect copyright.PENANAyTboYnnT6O
"Stop. Just stop it already," Rebekah says to her older brother.500Please respect copyright.PENANAL9TiFU81wm
She unchains me, letting me go free, and I fall to the floor on my knees.500Please respect copyright.PENANAX9PwvKL4l9
She looks at her brother with a warning look.
