"What do you want?" Elena asked the man looming over her. Another figure sat near her, identical to Elena, only dressed in a black suit with a pixie cut.
"Shh." The man replied, moving his head towards her neck.
"Please, I'm hurt." Elena explained, feeling the ache of sore muscles and the dried blood on her back.
"I know." Came the whispered response. The man's eyes darkened and black veins emerged from under his eyes. "Just a taste."
"Lex." Elena whimpered, glancing at the figure next to her in alarm. Lex had stood up, eyes blazing.
"No! Trevor. Control yourself." An unfamiliar voice called out to the man.
"Buzzkill." Trevor responded, finally moving away from Elena.
"What do you want with me?"
"My God, you look just like her." Lex looked at Elena, while Elena glanced at Lex quickly.
"But I'm not. Please, whatever you-"
"Be quiet."
"But I'm not Katherine. My name is Elena Gilbert. You don't have to do this."
"I know who you are. I said, be quiet."
"What do you want?"
"I want you to be quiet." With this, Rose backhanded Elena, causing her to pass out. Lex watched wide eyed as Rose and Trevor both ignored their presence.

Elena woke up to Rose and Trevor talking.
"How is the girl?"
"Still passed out."
"You didn't touch her, did you?"
"Give me some credit. So, did you call him?"
"No, I called one of his contacts. You know how this works."
"Did you or did you not get the message to Elijah?"
"They say he got it."
"Wonderful and what?"
"So that's it."
"He either got it or he didn't. We just have to wait." Trevor replied before stating, "Look, it's not too late. We can leave it here. We don't have to go through with this."
