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.434Please respect copyright.PENANAPPX4DUNO04
I open the door.434Please respect copyright.PENANARNi4AvdP18
"Morning sunshine," I greet Elena.434Please respect copyright.PENANA2QWCQ2goWR
"Hey, how's Alaric?"434Please respect copyright.PENANAEcFye2RhJg
"Indecent. But fine."434Please respect copyright.PENANABRsLUZFSgz
"So then, does that mean there was no issues last night?"434Please respect copyright.PENANAujGlJuhkTr
"Nope. Slept like a baby, woke up Alaric. No head minds about dead council members."434Please respect copyright.PENANAzYDu7qmcUz
"Then why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?"434Please respect copyright.PENANAWAboOVJQ8A
"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."434Please respect copyright.PENANAjUQSC6Q9Fu
She takes the bag from me.434Please respect copyright.PENANA6DZkhTyPqm
"They're not for you."434Please respect copyright.PENANAoExprmiucO
"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."434Please respect copyright.PENANADdxkLGs7XR
"Just take it and give it to him and tell him I miss him, okay?"434Please respect copyright.PENANAwrbRUVWoOh
She hands me the bag of muffins.434Please respect copyright.PENANAW5ioLXHRW6
"With pleasure," I reply.434Please respect copyright.PENANAax4QJuOJvj
"Please."434Please respect copyright.PENANAYqzxFfNCtL
I start to shut the door on her.434Please respect copyright.PENANAoAjtzTvyjC
"Have a great day, thanks for coming by."434Please respect copyright.PENANAlD5BeBvQp8
"Dam…" she starts to say, but I close the door on her.434Please respect copyright.PENANAx5Ww8SOMxr
After closing the door, I walk over to where Ric and Stefan are standing by a saw with the Whickery Bridge sign.434Please respect copyright.PENANAsG21YkTYcN
I listen to Elena leaving.434Please respect copyright.PENANAW4GL7r3F1a
"Walking down the stairs, opening the front door, and she's gone."434Please respect copyright.PENANATuZaj7iQ1L
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.434Please respect copyright.PENANA5jJSoYHoeu
"Looks like you guys have got it under control. I'm calling the sheriff. I want to turn myself in."434Please respect copyright.PENANAwOuJGJFZe9
Stefan and I look at him.434Please respect copyright.PENANAuJ1MQIP4OB
"No you don't," I say.434Please respect copyright.PENANAiYod7kgoE4
"I have a homicidal alter ego. Unlike some people in this room, I would like to take responsibility for the people I've killed."434Please respect copyright.PENANAz3gcaJ6Jgo
"If you wanted to turn yourself in, you wouldn't be saying it out loud. Just saying."434Please respect copyright.PENANAWZiKtdzX3t
"Hey, listen, out of all the people you cannot psychoanalyze me. I killed Caroline's father, I nearly killed Meredith. Everything's changed."434Please respect copyright.PENANAuMGRDearJX
"Look, you're not turning yourself in. Bonnie's herbs are working and we have Originals to kill," Stefan says to Ric.434Please respect copyright.PENANAcubSR10tZv
"His morals get questionable when he has revenge on the brain," I tell Ric.434Please respect copyright.PENANAxfatmmkSvo
"Klaus needs to die. We finally have the chance to kill him, so you're not turning yourself in," Stefan says.434Please respect copyright.PENANA5AaKiU6d3X
I walk up to Alaric and give him his ring.434Please respect copyright.PENANATAnykF0PGE
"Here's your ring, Ric. Put it on."434Please respect copyright.PENANAXaZIncKylR
"That ring is the reason I've killed people."434Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ0Ft4uRon
"It's also the reason you're alive. You're going vampire hunting, Ric. Wear it."434Please respect copyright.PENANAalviRXQG7m
He takes the ring and puts it on.
I place my White Oak stake underneath a pile of firewood at home. It's night.434Please respect copyright.PENANAC3IDQphqbg
"Did you learn anything from the moonstone in the soap dish?" Ric asks me.434Please respect copyright.PENANADTwO198m9A
"Why? Where'd you put yours?"434Please respect copyright.PENANA3qijFM0gt5
We hear a sudden noise from downstairs and I get up.434Please respect copyright.PENANA2AKQmk6JUq
"What the hell was that?" Ric asks.434Please respect copyright.PENANAGotinyo0Nw
I leave the room and walk downstairs.434Please respect copyright.PENANAXwRhYU0aKB
Suddenly, I see Alaric get thrown down the stairs.
"Ric?" I say.434Please respect copyright.PENANAuuhTlfAUWn
I look up the stairs and then turn around, only to get stabbed in the stomach by Rebekah.434Please respect copyright.PENANAQdxoPT8Gl4
"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.434Please respect copyright.PENANACRI7M1gyG9
Klaus makes a comment and Rebekah says, "I am very capable of torture."434Please respect copyright.PENANAAcO1QfcCkf
"I'm sure you are," he replies to his only sister.
Later, I have a day dream of Elena rescuing me from being tortured.434Please respect copyright.PENANASa5ymXqhJI
When it stops, I hear Rebekah walk into the room from the set of doors that are behind me.434Please respect copyright.PENANAC2tyDLwbBH
"You know how easy it was to get inside your head just now?" she says, before going to stand in front of me.434Please respect copyright.PENANAr4Wqyl9xIv
Klaus walks in on us again. This time I'm very weak.434Please respect copyright.PENANAm5Fgblji7a
"Go home," he says to me.434Please respect copyright.PENANAvdVPOjG2Gb
"No," I answer.434Please respect copyright.PENANAIezDCLFJoJ
He looks into my eyes, compelling me.434Please respect copyright.PENANAY0BB3XgmMG
"Go home."434Please respect copyright.PENANAqqLmT5g1Ny
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.434Please respect copyright.PENANAcgLgCh2OtB
"Stop. Just stop it already," Rebekah says to her older brother.434Please respect copyright.PENANAsQz4EaP2yR
She unchains me, letting me go free, and I fall to the floor on my knees.434Please respect copyright.PENANAaTJ36PtOL4
She looks at her brother with a warning look.
