Vicki's POV

When I come to, I feel heavy. I try to open my eyes but it's too bright and I quickly close them again.

"Looks like princess is finally awake." I hear faintly.

"Shut up Stefan." I croak. My throat feels like sandpaper rubbing together with everything breath.

I try to open my eyes again and this time I succeed.

I'm in the cellar, I can see Stefan and Elena here.

"Why the hell am I here?"

"You're out of control Vicki. We couldn't let you hurt anyone else." Doppelbitch states.

I try to move but I'm too weak. "What did you do to me?"

"Mugwort." Fucking dickheads. "And a little vervain to keep you weak."

That means I can't use my magic to escape and I'm too weak to even move my head.

I close my eyes again, not having the energy to keep them open.

I don't know how long I was out but I wake up in the parlor on a chair, chained up.

"Dames?" I whisper weakly. Maybe he will help me.

He comes over to me, leaning down to whisper in my ear, I don't realize the stake in his hand until it's too late.

"I'm sorry." He says, his voice slightly cracking before he stabs my in the stomach.

"Ahhhh." A guttural scream comes from my mouth.

He doesn't take it out but instead, steps back.

I don't know how long I've been here but I heard Rebekah talking earlier while I was back in the cellar.

They don't take me out of the cellar when she is here, I don't think she even knows that I'm missing. I hope Nik knows that something is wrong though.

Right now they are letting me "rest" after a torture session. I can't heal though because of the vervain and mugwort in my system.

The have a stake in my shoulder at all times. They would shove vervain in my mouth every time my veins showed. There's burns from a hot poker, it's like I'm enduring the torture that Mason didn't.

I know I just need to hold out a little longer until Nik comes back for homecoming.

Elena came in earlier after visiting Rebekah. She likes to come in and taunt me, there's nothing I can do about it. She says all of these horrible things.

She definitely isn't doing this because of the people I killed. She just has this hatred for me and it was there before I even stepped into this body.
