Arabella's POV

       Stefan had been trying to get in contact with me ever since I left his house the other day, but i've been immature and have blown him off. I haven't showed my face much at all, honestly.

For the first few days it was willingly, but then he called and I literally couldn't answer.

I was gone.

"Where is Niklaus?" The suited man ahead of me asked for the 3rd time today.

"You've asked me that same question for the last week and a half, my answer isn't going to change while i'm in this hell-hole." I looked around, emphasizing on the open-shut window that Elijah would stare at whenever I didn't listen to him, "If you're trying to use me as bait to lure Klaus out, you took the wrong brunette." I sat back in the seat I was chained to and rolled my head back in annoyance.

At least find a new way to ask or something.

Elijah ignored me, he wasn't accepting any words from my mouth unless they contained Klaus' location, which I couldn't give him.

"I truly do not know why Niklaus had this made for you." Elijah lifted up ny daylight ring from the table a few feet from me, making it visible he took it from my hand when I was unconscious.

"I truly do not know why he daggered Rebekah and not you." I rolled my eyes and immediately regretted what I said, but there was no taking it back, so I didn't touch on it again.

Elijah chuckled at my comment for a moment before sitting in front of me, "I will ask you one last time, Arabella, where is Niklaus?" And I rolled my eyes, again.

"Are you joking? Elijah, I do not know where your brother is, i've been here for a week now, for all I know he's probably a hybrid by now." I shouted at him and he opened his mouth then closed it.

The next thing I know is i'm in pain, horrible pain, worse than what I dealt with yesterday, I was screaming in pain, Elijah had opened the window and it shined directly onto me.

Killing me? So much for being the noble one.

Even Klaus wouldn't try to kill me.

I was almost dead in flames when Elijah closed the window, "Still no answer?" Elijah asked, playing with my ring in his hand.

I was gasping for air, trying to speak but I was 5 seconds away from death moments before.

"Elijah," I panted, "I know you want to know where Klaus is," another deep breath, "Because you want your family back, but I don't know Klaus' whereabouts, I haven't known them for over a month." Finally, the one time my calming voice helped me these past two works.

Elijah looked at the ground in defeat before placing the ring back on my finger.

Can't say he was the brother I was first expecting to do that.

I grinned at the ring on my finger before looking up at him.
"Don't get any ideas, you're still weakened by having no blood in your system, and having vervain in you," Elijah walked to the door to leave, "I have a potential negotiation to make, but don't worry, I won't leave you alone." And with that, he was gone and a likely compelled man walked in after him.

"You look horrible." The dirty blonde man spoke to me, making me look up at him with hatred in my eyes already, great, I look horrible.

Knotted hair, dark circles, eye bags, paler skin, and clothes that now had rips in them, I guess I wasn't the prettiest i'd ever been but I didn't need to think about that right now.
