HENRIQUE HAD ONLY known a world that had vanished in a blinding flash of light. One moment, he was in the dimly lit living room of his home, struggling to contain Kai alongside Damon, and the next, he found himself in an entirely different realm. Well, not really. The transition was disorienting, as if the ground had been ripped from beneath his feet, leaving him free-falling into an abyss.

When he finally regained his senses, Henrique awoke with a start, his heart pounding as if it wanted to escape his chest. The world around him was all too familiar, yet entirely foreign. It was the Salvatore Boarding House, every detail painstakingly replicated, from the antique furniture to the ornate wallpaper. But there was an unmistakable aura of emptiness that hung heavily in the air.

As he sat up, Henrique's gaze darted around the room. Memories of the room flooded his mind, reminding him of the countless gatherings and events held here. But something was off; this was not the world he knew. The sense of isolation was overwhelming. He looked down at his shoulder, only to see his shirt soaked in blood but his wound completely healed. How is that possible?

"Anyone?" Henrique called out, his voice trembling. He could not shake the feeling that something had gone terribly wrong.

A groan echoed from across the room, and Henrique's eyes widened as he spotted Damon, sprawled unceremoniously on one of the leather couches. His friend slowly stirred, rubbing his temples as if trying to shake off a bad dream.

"Damon!" Henrique rushed over, relief washing over him at the sight of his friend. "Where are we? What happened?"

Damon's gaze met Henrique's, confusion mirrored in his blue eyes. "I wish I knew. One moment, we were in your house, and then... this."

The front door to the house swung open abruptly, and the figure that entered was the embodiment of chaos. Kai Parker sauntered in, a smirk playing on his lips. He looked disturbingly at ease, as if he had been expecting them. Or maybe he was just used to being in this cage.

"Well, well, well," Kai drawled, his voice dripping with mockery. "Look who finally woke up from their beauty sleeps."

Henrique's fists clenched, his temper flaring at the sight of their captor. "Kai! What have you done?"

Kai's smirk widened, his eyes dancing with amusement. "I thought we could use some quality family time."

Damon pushed himself up from the couch, his vampire instincts on high alert. "Family time? You've lost it, Kai."

Kai's laughter echoed through the room, sending shivers down Henrique's spine. "Oh, you have no idea, Damon. Welcome to my very own Prison World, where the three of us get to enjoy each other's company for all eternity. I mean it was only supposed to be Henrique but you can't keep your hands off me, Damon."

As the reality of their predicament sank in, Henrique, Damon, and Kai found themselves trapped in a twisted version of the world they knew. In this parallel existence, they would have to find a way to escape the clutches of the devilish man who had orchestrated their imprisonment.

The battle for survival had just begun, and in this surreal world, only one thing was certain: they were all in for a devil of a time.

"I'm getting out of here with Damon. You can enjoy this world yourself. Thought you're used to it?" Henrique snapped as he grabbed Damon by his arm, dragging him to the front door before Kai stood in between him and the door, a knife in his hand.
