Matt walked through the darkened halls of the hospital.
He wondered why the halls were so dark but the rooms where the patients were trying to sleep were so bright.
It didn't make sense to him.
Finally navigating himself to Victoria's room, he didn't notice the outline of Stefan Salvatore hidden in the shadows.
Walking into the hospital room, he was confused.
Victoria's bed was empty, her sheets bundled messily at the end of the bed.
Her IV was still hanging from the hook, but Victoria was nowhere to be seen.
Bathroom, maybe? He wondered, turning in that direction.
"Whoa!" Matt gasped out as Victoria all but materialised behind him.
He held his arms up slightly, as if she was a frightened animal.
There was a far away look in her eyes as she stared at his chest.
"Vic? Vicki, hey," Matt soothed. He bent down to catch her eye, "Vic, it's Matt. Hey, what's wrong?"
He watched as a tear rolled down her cheek, and reached out to her in concern.
Then Victoria was screaming.
"No! No!"
"Hey! Vicki, Vicki!" Matt yelled, his arms wrapped around her middle. "It's me, Vicki! Stop!"
But she continued screaming, Matt hated it.
She sounded scared, frightened of him.
She broke free, stumbling back into the bed still shouting 'no' in protest.
Matt took the opportunity to run from the room to grab a nurse.
Within a second, Victoria was laying back on her hospital bed as Stefan Salvatore stared into her tear-filled tears.
"It was an animal," Stefan compelled. "It came out of the night and jumped you. You blacked out. That's all you remember."
"That's all I remember," Vicki repeated monotonously.
"An animal attacked you, you blacked out, that's all you remember." Stefan repeated again, worried his compulsion might not work.
"That's all I remember." Vicki repeated again.
Then he was gone.
From down the hall, Matt frantically searched for a nurse, "Nurse! I need help! It's my sister."
A nurse saw the panicked look on his face and quickly followed him down the hall.
However, when they entered the room, Victoria was laying back down on her bed, seemingly sleeping.
"She seems fine..."
Matt turned in confusion, catching sight of someone leaving out of the corner of his vision.
He instinctively began to follow the figure, quickly realising it to be Stefan Salvatore when the guy looked back over his shoulder.
Stefan ducked into a room, without realising it was full of blood donors. His face began to change and he ducked behind a curtain in the room.
Matt entered the room, his eyes scanning for Stefan.
He quickly concluded that he could only be behind the curtain in the room, but when he pulled it back there was no one there.
Instead, the window was wide open.
