After a couple of slightly reserved punches from Stefan, Alaric let's out a huff as he got up. "You're not putting enough into this." He groaned out, just wanting the situation to be over and done with. "If I put any more into it, I'm gonna break your spine." Stefan replied in a breathy yet slightly annoyed tone. While Ariana just tilted her head at the factuality of that statement.
Stefan hits Alaric again. Alaric falls to the floor, blood is coming out of his mouth and one of his teeth has fallen out. Ariana could do nothing but cringe at the sight. Gross. The veins under Stefan's eyes start to protrude and his eyes become bloodshot. He turns away. Ariana quickly realizes it's because of the blood and rushed to Stefan's side, putting her hands on his shoulders.
"Are you alright, can you still do this?" She asks with genuine concern. All amusement she felt before disintegrated after seeing Stefan in this state. Stefan shook his head at her words as she looked at him with a nothing but worry, feeling as if she couldn't do anything to help him.
She could step in, but Stefan's constant motions for her to stay back while they were brawling made her think that Stefan wouldn't like that too much. "Well don't back down now." Ric said in a taunting tone, attempting to rile Stefan up. "No, no, no, no, no, I can't...the blood." He muttered, shaking his head again. "Come on, you're past that." Alaric scoffed. "No, I'm not." Stefan warned.
"Then use it! Give into it! Try and kill me, Stefan. Come on!" "Not like this, Alaric." "Yes! Like this. You're gonna have to want to kill me for me to believe that you will." "If I go this far, I may not be able to stop." "If you want the answers from my darkest side, you're gonna have to tap into yours. So, don't back down, don't fight it. Just do it. Do it!"
Alaric grabs Stefan's shirt, snatching him out of Ariana's hands, and shakes him. Stefan vamps out and throws Alaric against the brick wall. Alaric falls on the ground and laughs. Stefan glanced at Ariana who'd raised her brows the second she heard him laughing like that. She'd been one of the few who had yet to meet Alarics alter ego, she was oddly curious.
"You're so weak." Alaric said in a low tone. "Look at you, one of nature's most hideous creatures and you can't even get that right." He spat with a chuckle as he lifted himself from the ground. "You." Ariana muttered. "Me." Alarics dark side responded with an almost unnoticeable smirk. "Where's the stake?" Stefan was quick to ask.
"You're worse than I ever was. Spineless, pathetic." Ric spat back. "Tell me where the stake is before I kill you." Stefan threatened, taking a step forward. "You know you're all gonna burn. Ashes to dust." This sets Stefan off as he punches Ric several times and Ariana almost moved to hold him back but she decided this would be the best way to get information.
"Where's the stake?!" Stefan yelled out again. When Ric didn't answer, he put him in a choke hold. "I'm gonna kill you in three...two...one." At the last second Alaric blurted the long awaited answer "It's in the cave. Where no vampire can get it." Stefan threw Ric to the ground and left the cellar, Ariana following close behind and locking the cellar door.
