Word Count: 2861

After discovering that Bonnie had checked herself, undercover, in a psych ward under the name of 'Bonnie McCullough', Skylar was immediately curious. Apparently, Bonnie was searching for answers about a vault in the Armory and what was inside of it, because Alex's sister was apparently in the psych ward.

Skylar had brought chocolates and Bonnie's favorite flowers. Not because Bonnie needed them, but because if she was going to show up as a visitor in a psych ward, she needed to pretend like Bonnie could do with the pick-me-up. The psych ward was all the way in Ashville, North Carolina, so it took Skylar a while to get there.

Walking into the psych ward, Skylar approached the front desk, and the man there sent her a friendly smile.

"Good mornin', miss. Can I help you?"

"Yes." Skylar smiled back. "Is Bonnie B-- McCullough allowed visitors?"

"She is." The man responded. "Up the stairs, the last door at the end of the corridor."

"Thank you." Skylar walked up and into Bonnie's room, immediately spotting Bonnie sat with a girl. The Bennett witch looked surprised to see her, but still stood up to hug the Salvatore Heretic.

"Sky? What are you doing here?"

"I thought I'd help you out on this mission of yours." Skylar chuckled as the two pulled away. She looked over at the other girl in the room, who was eying her curiously, before turning back to Bonnie. "That must be Alex's sister. Is she just as bitchy?"

"Excuse you!" The girl spat. "Who even are you anyway?"

"Don't worry. She's a friend! She's a witch." Bonnie reassured the girl, who didn't seem to relax, so the Bennett witch turned back to Sky. "Sky, this is Virginia, Alex's sister. Come on, have a seat. We're just getting started."

Bonnie, Skylar, and Virginia were still in Bonnie's room, where they were sitting on her bed and eating candy while they talked.

"So, how'd you end up in here?" Skylar asked Virginia, who had warmed up to the Heretic surprisingly quickly.

"Same as you, I guess. I was betrayed by someone I loved. Except it was my family, not my boyfriend." Virginia replied, looking just at Bonnie at the last part. Bonnie's eyes widened when she realized that Virginia believed she and Damon were in a relationship.

"Oh, no. Damon was not my boyfriend. He was... I don't know what he was."

"Oh. Is he yours?" Virginia asked Skylar, who faked a gag at the idea.

"No way! He's my uncle! Father's brother."

"And your uncle just left?" Virginia scoffed, and Skylar simply nodded.

"So, what happened with your family?" Bonnie changed the subject.

"Let's just say I tried to save them from something... dark. Turns out, they didn't want to be saved. So, my sister had me drugged up and locked away in this psych ward. Got everyone to say I'm crazy, which I'm not." Virginia stated.

"Yeah..." Skylar sighed, wondering if Virginia was actually crazy or not. "Must be hard, being a member of the St. John family."

Virginia looked horrified by the revelation that Skylar knew who she really was, and she began to panic.

"You know who my family is? Is that why you two are here? To spy on me?"

"No. No!"

"Of course not! I'm just visiting Bonnie!"
