Flashback New Orleans 1950s-

Another usual day of being trapped in the never ending hell. Valeria had lost track of the days she'd been in there. At first she counted them but eventually counting them became too painful. She had no idea what they were doing to her way first she did but by that point she had just lost track of everything and had become numb.

The only thing keeping her humanity intact was the ounce of hope she had left that someone would find her. The only person around was Klaus everytime she opened her eyes she just hoped he was there. She knew he was looking for her but it was impossible. The strix were smart and Klaus was at a disadvantage; he didn't have the power he once had which is why he was struggling so much.

Since the first day the strix caught Valeria they put her in a small room and drained her of her blood and starved her for days. Tristian tortured her everyday trying to make her as week as possible he also used different type of things to drain her of her magic tikl the point she couldn't use it.

Valeria was smart so it took a while to break her so she would give up her power to the strix witches. She lasted two years keeping her barrier up while Tristan tortured her trying to make her break. It got to a point she couldn't take it anymore. He wasn't using only physical torture but now he was able to get inside her head. First thing he did was go through her memories and see what mattered to her.

When he found something his first trick was to use Kol as an emotional trigger but she still had that barrier up strong. She needed to continue to push through. Then he used her brothers which really hurt her. He knew that one had done a number on her but somehow when he used klaus that was the day she let go.

It had been almost three years in that dungeon she hadn't fed in months she was starting to feel her veins rub together like sandpaper. Tristan would let her feed but it was no use since she just bled her out again and again. He toned it down eventually when he got her weak enough to control her.

At first she would scream and cry every time he did it until eventually she just stopped. Tristan was waiting for her to turn her humanity switch off but it was impossible and he didn't understand why. Until that one day he planned to use klaus as an emotional trigger.

Valeria sat as usual with no expression on her face. The bags under her eyes were huge. Her hair was a mess since no one had washed it in months. Her lips were dry and her skin was almost as white as snow. She just waited for Tristan to come downstairs and torture her again. By now she had lost all hopes to ever get out of there she didn't think about it anymore all she could think of was keeping her humanity switched on.
