Penelope's retching echoed in the room as she gripped the bucket tightly. It's been four days. Four days of vomiting. Four days of seeing Sabine. Four days of her taunts and it all was beginning to get to Penelope. She was tired of listening to her talk about her and Elijah's relationship from some time in the past. She was getting tired of having to see, feel, and hear all the things they've done, a lot of the same things that Elijah has done with her. It hurt, it hurt like hell. She wanted to get lost in the pain but every time she tried to let it take over nausea always rose up and she would vomit. Again. She was getting really sick of vomiting up water and saltine crackers, but that was all she would have. The saltine crackers calmed her nausea, but she would end up throwing them up and would force herself to continue eating them.

"Vomiting, again, Penelope?" Sabine 'tsk'ed as she walked into the room. Penelope glared up at the woman, but she wasn't alone this time. A man, and two girls walked in with her. One girl Penelope recognized but the other was another dark haired girl, and she looked at Penelope as if she recognized her but Penelope didn't know this new girl.

"Well, when I have to look at you everyday..." Penelope retorted, glaring at the dark skinned woman. Penelope screamed in pain when she felt the metal chains begin to heat up and burn her skin.

"You know, I'm getting really sick and tired of your smart ass remarks, I can't believe Elijah would kiss you-"

"He likes my snarky side, it turns him on," Penelope cut her off, glaring at Sabine through tears.

"Peter," Sabine called out, turning to the man. "It's time to compel her," Sabine announced and Penelope's eyes widened in fear as she began shaking her head. "Oh yes, Darling, you're going to be compelled to sit there, and be quiet while you enjoy the show of me and Elijah again...or maybe I should show you one of your deaths again? That was fun! Oh, or maybe I should have you forget about Elijah all together?" She asked with a smirk. Penelope's eyes narrowed more as she felt dread fill every inch of her. Knowing this woman, she would. 

"You bitch," Penelope hissed. Peter walked up to her and kneeled down to the ground, holding her head and forcing her to look at him. Penelope went to jerk her head and her body away from him but his grip was strong.

"Be still," he demanded in an even tone, but Penelope jerked her head away from him. "I said be still." He repeated himself but Penelope jerked her head again. "I thought you said she was human?" He asked, looking up at Sabine who was looking at her with disbelief.

"She is!"

"Then she has vervain in her system,"

"She can't! She's been here for four days, only water and crackers!" Sabine snapped, cutting him off. "And with the amount of vomiting she does, it would've been out of her system by now."

"Then why can't she be compelled?" The new girl asked slowly, as she continued to look at Penelope.

"If I knew the answer, Sophie, I would've done something to change that by now." Sabine snapped.

"Maybe Marcel knows," Peter spoke as he stood up straight. "He has us all looking around the French Quarter for this girl. She's special from what I understand."
