Chapter Twenty-Six

I wake up as the van drives over a bump. I glance around- I'm tied down with vervain ropes to the wall of a black van, and Rebekah is sitting across from me. She's tied down in the same way.

I blink a couple times and look up at her. "Rebekah?"

She forces a smile.

I pause. "Wait...how did-"

"I don't wanna talk about it, okay?" Rebekah cuts me off.

I laugh. "This should be fun. How should we kill the council?" I ask playfully. "I was thinking either feed until their heads come off or maybe we should torture them first-"

"You're humanity's off." Rebekah notes.

"Ugh, so?"

"Why? What happened?"

I suck in a sharp breath through my teetb. "I really don't like talking about boring things like that, Bex."

She scrunches her eyebrows and tilts her head. "It's good to know Stella's still in there."

I smile and shake my head, looking down as the van pulls to a stop.

"Why is it so hot in here?!" I lean against the wall of the cell and turn my head toward Rebekah's cell- she's right across from me.

She takes off her jacket and tilts her head back. "Because they hate vampires and will do anything to torture us."

Air starts to pour through the vents and I cough, a burning sensation filling my throat. Rebekah starts to do the same.

"What is that?" I choke out.

"Vervain." She responds.

The vents stop and I take in deep breaths. "Ok, as much fun it is looking at you, I can't stay here anymore."

I stand up, failing the first time, but managing to get to my feet.

"Hello?!" I shout, grabbing onto the cell door. "HELLO? IS ANYONE THERE?"

A man walks up to my cell, holding a gun out in front of him. "You better be quiet."

I laugh. "Or what?"

"Or I'll shoot."

He steps closer to the cell and I could guess he's within my reach. All I have to do is snap his neck and grab the key from his belt.

I vamp-speed to try and grab his neck but before I can he shoots a wooden bullet straight into my leg. I scream in pain and Rebekah shift on her cell. I fall to the floor and groan angrily.

"Don't try anything, because there's more where that came from."

I glare up at him with a face full of rage and he just smiles as he walks away. Out of breath, and already weak, I sit back up against the wall, grabbing my leg in pain.

Damn, he ruined my favorite pair of black jeans.

"Okay, that was pretty entertaining." Rebekah smiles.

I glance to her with annoyance before focusing back on my wound. Deep breath. I stick my finger into my skin and pull the bullet out.

I hear the door open in the distance as the men arrive back with Stefan and Elena.

"Ooh, more fun to join the party!" I say weakly.

The guard throws Stefan into the cell next to me. Another guard puts Elena in the cell next to Rebekah.

"So guys, how are you?" I jokingly make conversation. I turn around, laying my back and head on the floor while my feet are up on the wall.

Elena leans against her cell and glances to me. "Funny."
