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.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM1WDnfwrj
I open the door.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErojBZVTz1
"Morning sunshine," I greet Elena.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNcT0CthhP
"Hey, how's Alaric?"552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3lLP1XBYr
"Indecent. But fine."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6h8tVXptE
"So then, does that mean there was no issues last night?"552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnZbif5Oc0
"Nope. Slept like a baby, woke up Alaric. No head minds about dead council members."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbcj807972
"Then why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?"552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlbAoHZCbM
"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."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccXK5VEUp0
She takes the bag from me.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBfTCmTFKk
"They're not for you."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqRg0XVPdJ
"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."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjoxX3fRLZ
"Just take it and give it to him and tell him I miss him, okay?"552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTJfn0cika
She hands me the bag of muffins.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho8BWGOlgL
"With pleasure," I reply.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05EA12wYTt
"Please."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cqGKbxmYG
I start to shut the door on her.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fpwG1Oq2Z
"Have a great day, thanks for coming by."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcKVGEo3B9
"Dam…" she starts to say, but I close the door on her.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK5ENAMNaB
After closing the door, I walk over to where Ric and Stefan are standing by a saw with the Whickery Bridge sign.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy4J3aygcL
I listen to Elena leaving.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoHY5mvZZ4
"Walking down the stairs, opening the front door, and she's gone."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzCEIGmhhc
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.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKZot3ECJN
"Looks like you guys have got it under control. I'm calling the sheriff. I want to turn myself in."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZnAzg1TTX
Stefan and I look at him.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs4yVTIyrV
"No you don't," I say.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jrLd4NgeB
"I have a homicidal alter ego. Unlike some people in this room, I would like to take responsibility for the people I've killed."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQkVuyv2lk
"If you wanted to turn yourself in, you wouldn't be saying it out loud. Just saying."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR7pfOmn9P
"Hey, listen, out of all the people you cannot psychoanalyze me. I killed Caroline's father, I nearly killed Meredith. Everything's changed."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0hxroyJE2
"Look, you're not turning yourself in. Bonnie's herbs are working and we have Originals to kill," Stefan says to Ric.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdaNevrhrg
"His morals get questionable when he has revenge on the brain," I tell Ric.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt70ZEziBQt
"Klaus needs to die. We finally have the chance to kill him, so you're not turning yourself in," Stefan says.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyvKm1Wz4N
I walk up to Alaric and give him his ring.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xaeBeMJWm
"Here's your ring, Ric. Put it on."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGIAxv8YAR
"That ring is the reason I've killed people."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDDVhUpVlU
"It's also the reason you're alive. You're going vampire hunting, Ric. Wear it."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DLSNN3B29
He takes the ring and puts it on.
I place my White Oak stake underneath a pile of firewood at home. It's night.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl4VlfsvnQ
"Did you learn anything from the moonstone in the soap dish?" Ric asks me.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83gVXnScAA
"Why? Where'd you put yours?"552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYqMuAhSOk
We hear a sudden noise from downstairs and I get up.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuqO0SeLhM
"What the hell was that?" Ric asks.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgexjcD6YM
I leave the room and walk downstairs.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCHxa7Cx8g
Suddenly, I see Alaric get thrown down the stairs.
"Ric?" I say.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfqhnDBIH0
I look up the stairs and then turn around, only to get stabbed in the stomach by Rebekah.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhtXsXftVI
"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.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetAJXQL8bG
Klaus makes a comment and Rebekah says, "I am very capable of torture."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrqoufwIgb
"I'm sure you are," he replies to his only sister.
Later, I have a day dream of Elena rescuing me from being tortured.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc30ZBDhI0K
When it stops, I hear Rebekah walk into the room from the set of doors that are behind me.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR5c6CGDct
"You know how easy it was to get inside your head just now?" she says, before going to stand in front of me.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRriprQYpsy
Klaus walks in on us again. This time I'm very weak.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5DtU7ZTYJ
"Go home," he says to me.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpfuVjGDQ1
"No," I answer.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovShVOop7c
He looks into my eyes, compelling me.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB3sgjHO19
"Go home."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpzxgkai5m
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.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSwD9S6jNa
"Stop. Just stop it already," Rebekah says to her older brother.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhTmkxNm9P
She unchains me, letting me go free, and I fall to the floor on my knees.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB19NRWo5V
She looks at her brother with a warning look.
