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.497Please respect copyright.PENANAxA0sN72CaD
I open the door.497Please respect copyright.PENANAocjOLycLoD
"Morning sunshine," I greet Elena.497Please respect copyright.PENANA52Bhb2yjDt
"Hey, how's Alaric?"497Please respect copyright.PENANAltS9G5VeSi
"Indecent. But fine."497Please respect copyright.PENANAoVx2it89AF
"So then, does that mean there was no issues last night?"497Please respect copyright.PENANAUUs5blj8im
"Nope. Slept like a baby, woke up Alaric. No head minds about dead council members."497Please respect copyright.PENANA6hmqHIdVFF
"Then why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?"497Please respect copyright.PENANAC4jAxYLiV6
"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."497Please respect copyright.PENANAhX6fT1RZT3
She takes the bag from me.497Please respect copyright.PENANAI2pYiucDea
"They're not for you."497Please respect copyright.PENANAYaVCcoSh6O
"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."497Please respect copyright.PENANAB6LUzka2wi
"Just take it and give it to him and tell him I miss him, okay?"497Please respect copyright.PENANAh7eu121fPU
She hands me the bag of muffins.497Please respect copyright.PENANAeN2O6lYNxh
"With pleasure," I reply.497Please respect copyright.PENANAuIdzeQvULk
"Please."497Please respect copyright.PENANAhDLmZFV1UR
I start to shut the door on her.497Please respect copyright.PENANAPDauugUc0A
"Have a great day, thanks for coming by."497Please respect copyright.PENANAmZzgX8HB8k
"Dam…" she starts to say, but I close the door on her.497Please respect copyright.PENANAf6rGhUH6tY
After closing the door, I walk over to where Ric and Stefan are standing by a saw with the Whickery Bridge sign.497Please respect copyright.PENANANaEBUnisBY
I listen to Elena leaving.497Please respect copyright.PENANAhGMxG57Eyt
"Walking down the stairs, opening the front door, and she's gone."497Please respect copyright.PENANAlUTyXAhLRX
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANABJSas6ANot
"Looks like you guys have got it under control. I'm calling the sheriff. I want to turn myself in."497Please respect copyright.PENANAmmFpAIjf6w
Stefan and I look at him.497Please respect copyright.PENANAtDhQdIMVCQ
"No you don't," I say.497Please respect copyright.PENANAGd0jnJXyFD
"I have a homicidal alter ego. Unlike some people in this room, I would like to take responsibility for the people I've killed."497Please respect copyright.PENANAWlL3I489TR
"If you wanted to turn yourself in, you wouldn't be saying it out loud. Just saying."497Please respect copyright.PENANA4fAlgVFPPD
"Hey, listen, out of all the people you cannot psychoanalyze me. I killed Caroline's father, I nearly killed Meredith. Everything's changed."497Please respect copyright.PENANAJGwdFBAmc7
"Look, you're not turning yourself in. Bonnie's herbs are working and we have Originals to kill," Stefan says to Ric.497Please respect copyright.PENANAaGU67qpJsF
"His morals get questionable when he has revenge on the brain," I tell Ric.497Please respect copyright.PENANAl42Qvc7vUh
"Klaus needs to die. We finally have the chance to kill him, so you're not turning yourself in," Stefan says.497Please respect copyright.PENANAE7mtDYYRwR
I walk up to Alaric and give him his ring.497Please respect copyright.PENANARvK6cvewYN
"Here's your ring, Ric. Put it on."497Please respect copyright.PENANAXjqnveCn2b
"That ring is the reason I've killed people."497Please respect copyright.PENANAwT0B40uVdZ
"It's also the reason you're alive. You're going vampire hunting, Ric. Wear it."497Please respect copyright.PENANAlwqljRxhaw
He takes the ring and puts it on.
I place my White Oak stake underneath a pile of firewood at home. It's night.497Please respect copyright.PENANADb8rxXpbLj
"Did you learn anything from the moonstone in the soap dish?" Ric asks me.497Please respect copyright.PENANAPhmntZu3pW
"Why? Where'd you put yours?"497Please respect copyright.PENANAZLw7hQEE5j
We hear a sudden noise from downstairs and I get up.497Please respect copyright.PENANAZujX4ImKqX
"What the hell was that?" Ric asks.497Please respect copyright.PENANAN0Tj13NDIC
I leave the room and walk downstairs.497Please respect copyright.PENANAawj0UQjim7
Suddenly, I see Alaric get thrown down the stairs.
"Ric?" I say.497Please respect copyright.PENANA6yjBfh3I6y
I look up the stairs and then turn around, only to get stabbed in the stomach by Rebekah.497Please respect copyright.PENANAQD55xMA3hO
"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.497Please respect copyright.PENANAFXNLAswkvE
Klaus makes a comment and Rebekah says, "I am very capable of torture."497Please respect copyright.PENANAuZAMXjTxYt
"I'm sure you are," he replies to his only sister.
Later, I have a day dream of Elena rescuing me from being tortured.497Please respect copyright.PENANAqH99zH2EvG
When it stops, I hear Rebekah walk into the room from the set of doors that are behind me.497Please respect copyright.PENANAnXmdvrdlGf
"You know how easy it was to get inside your head just now?" she says, before going to stand in front of me.497Please respect copyright.PENANAne3SU82kxx
Klaus walks in on us again. This time I'm very weak.497Please respect copyright.PENANAjaC42CdWOM
"Go home," he says to me.497Please respect copyright.PENANA39Og4xSCZM
"No," I answer.497Please respect copyright.PENANA5IpwukLwJP
He looks into my eyes, compelling me.497Please respect copyright.PENANAkBo6ln84zR
"Go home."497Please respect copyright.PENANACIFFHN85QX
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANAHa4uTkTkGL
"Stop. Just stop it already," Rebekah says to her older brother.497Please respect copyright.PENANAAt4EjtDwAi
She unchains me, letting me go free, and I fall to the floor on my knees.497Please respect copyright.PENANATjNbyzke0i
She looks at her brother with a warning look.
