Sienna sits in the cold basement hugging her knees into her chest as she shivers in the cold room. The blanket doesn't seem to keep her warm, the cot is very thin and uncomfortable and she hasn't eaten for three days.  Klaus doesn't seem to care. He wants her weak so she won't be able to try and escape.

"I know you can hear me! May I please have something to eat or have some water? I don't understand why I'm here. I don't even know you!"

Klaus walks down the stairs and smiles when he sees Sienna suffering.

"Klaus, please. I've been nothing but nice to you." She says between sobs. "My stomach hurts because I haven't eaten in three days." She's desperate to get out of there.

He looks at her for a moment before he goes up to the door. "What makes you think that I give a shit about you?" He opens the door and walks inside. She doesn't back up. She walks up to him.

"I know there's good in you somewhere Klaus

"I know there's good in you somewhere Klaus. Please don't let me die in here alone and cold. Could I at least have something to eat before you drain me of my blood?"

Klaus's eyes are full of tears and regret. He can't believe he's treating her like this. It's just not right. He walks around her, rips the empty blood bags off the wall, throws them away and tells her to follow him. They go up the stairs to the kitchen when he pulls a chair out for Sienna and he sits across from her while the food is being prepared by  Klaus's servants. That's what he calls them.

They set the table with delicious food and Sienna looks at Klaus. He tells her to eat. She does. She drinks down five glasses of water and eats three plates of food. When she's done, Klaus tells her tow follow him. She hesitates but does so anyway.

He leads her up the stairs and into a bedroom.

"This room is for you. Decorate it as you wish. Klaus says. Sienna looks at him and smiles. "Thank you so much. I appreciate it but it looks beautiful as it is. Like you." Klaus puts his arm around her shoulders and kisses the side of her head before saying, "I am truly sorry for how I treated you. I called Davina and she has removed the curse from you. My siblings are coming over tomorrow from Msytic Falls. I'd like you to meet them." "I'd love to." Klaus rubs her back and says good night.

Alive and alone in her own bed, Sienna falls asleep peacefully. It's been a very difficult three days and she knows she's lost her job. Tomorrow is another day and she'll be meeting Klaus's family. Right now, all she wants to do is take a shower and go to bed.
