Saving

THIRD PERSON POV

Alaric knocks on the door. Frederick answers it.

Oh, good, someone's home. Uh, could I use your phone? My car broke down a few miles up the road. This was the first house I saw.

Well, lucky you.

Yeah. Lucky me. It's no trouble, is it?Not in the slightest.

Great. Whew.

Alaric enters the house

Hey, man, I really appreciate it. It's rough out there.

Billy, show our visitor where the phone is in the kitchen. And get me something to drink.

Yeah. Sure thing.

Hey, Miss Gibbons, this guy wants to use your phone.Oh, sure, honey. It's right there.Thanks.

Alaric walks towards the phone, Billy comes at him with a stake. Alaric is too quick for him and grabs the stake and stabs him with it.

Aah!

Alaric turns on the faucet and starts the blender to create noise.

What's happening?

I'm really sorry. But you're gonna need to invite a friend of mine inside.

Alaric opens the door and Damon is standing outside.

Oh, I'm sorry. He's not allowed in the house.

I know that. But you've gotta make an exception.

Get her out of the house. Now! Miss Gibbons, tell me the truth. Are you married?

No.

Parents, children, anyone else who lives on this property?

No. It's just me.

No? Good.

Damon breaks her neck and promptly enters the house

You were supposed to compel her.

It doesn't work that way

..She is human.

And I'm not! So, I don't care. Now, get out of here. And get rid of the body!

Billy, what's the holdup?!

Frederick tells another vampire to go see what is up. He enters the kitchen and turns off the sink and blender. He approaches the pantry. Damon opens the door and stakes him.

Aah!

Alaric runs back to the car. He opens the door and sees Inanna isn't there. He grabs his bag and leaves.

Damn it, Inanna!

Inanna jumps onto the porch. She stays by the wall to keep herself hidden. She starts to move on, but hears Frederick.

Billy, Jacob, get back in here!

Inanna runs past the door and goes down a staircase that leads to the cellar. She tries to open the door, but it is locked. She busts out one of the windowpanes, unlocks the door and opens it. A man is standing guard by a door at the end of the hallway.Inanna gets her vervain syringe out and is ready to attack, but Damon gets to the man first. He sees Inanna.

Are you insane?

A little Inanna said Smirking

He rolled his eyes

I hate you Damon said

I hate you more Inanna replied

Inanna and Damon enter the cellar.
