Always and forever >> Klaus Mikaelson

TEN

Ariana Salvatore awoke suddenly in the small chamber thing in the boarding house, meeting the eyes of a smug looking Damon. 

"hello brother." she said weakly, pulling herself to her feet with struggle. 

"sit down, you're not going anywhere there's no need to try." she nodded her head slightly, leaning against the bars that blocked the siblings.

"you gonna keep me in here forever?" she smirked. 

"only until we get Klaus back into town, a nice little distraction for him while we find a way to kill him." Damon said with emphasis on the word 'kill'. Ariana pouted a little.

"the white oak tree is gone dip shit." she smirked, hoping he didn't know of the mikaelson's little problem. he only smirked back. 

"have fun in there, Ari. perhaps thistle bring back memories." she frowned a little until he pulled the slide over the bars, leaving her in pitch blackness.

"Damon, Damon don't do this" she shouted for her brother, flashbacks coursing her mind as she pulled her knees up to her chest. 

-----

TWO WEEKS LATER

Ariana slumped in the cold room, sweating and pale. the incessant hunger coursing her veins. steps could be heard from the outside of the door. for two week ari had been kept in the pitch black. you wonder what that does to someones mind. so when the light slightly poured into the cold room, her eyes squinted greatly.

"how are you holding up?" Stefan voiced. she rolled her eyes weakly, her brother could see the trauma in her features and instantly felt bad. 

"I'm sorry that Damon did this. you shouldn't of had to re-live that." stefan spoke softly, but nothing went through to her. she just stared dead into his eyes. no. she wasn't staring at him. she was staring through him. 

of course, the one person who Ariana Salvatore wanted to rip to shreds, came into view, looking worried. Elena Gilbert. 

"Stefan, why is she afraid of the dark?" Elena asked obliviously. Stefan scoffed slightly at her childish remarks. 

"she's not. there are things about Ariana no one knows. her past is something she likes to keep private. and even you, aren't going to know until she's ready to even want to think about it. but Damon has forced her through something that's scarred her forever. why do you think her humanity has been off since the day she turned? why do you think we've never tried to help her turn it back on? why do you think he always sided with the Mikaelsons? she's had a tragic life, Elena. one that I was too weak to help her through and Damon never tried. its too long of a story, and you will never, deserve to hear it. so leave." Stefan backed his sister up, who stared through Elena's eyes, making her shuffle uncomfortably. 

She gave Ariana's soulless body one more look before leaving up the stairs too Damon, Stefan following after her.

"Damon, that was wrong of you." Stefan said slowly. 

"she had to be stopped some way." Elena defended Damon who just stared into the fire.

"that's the thing, Elena you don't know what the fuck she's been through! it doesn't matter if you need to be saved 24/7 she's been through shit you cant imagine and her own fucking brother, just shoved her into one of her worst memories!" Stefan shouted at Elena, not holding back. it was his sister and he loved her too much to be quiet. 

"then tell me Stefan! tell me so I understand!" Elena said standing in front of him. 

"this was supposed to be In the past, and Damon brought it back to the present! how do you feel Damon? hmm? our own baby fucking sister!" Stefan shouted at the top of his lungs to his brother, viscously pushing Elena away. Damon slowly turned to his brother, like his energy just drained. 

"I had to keep Elena safe." he spoke quietly.

"oh for fuck sake! Elena this Elena that! its your fucking sister not some doppelgänger bitch who you only like because she looks like Katherine. you're a fucking disgrace, damon." Stefan shouted. "at least my love for Elena, never got in the way of my fucking family. now she's your problem. look what's already happened every since you started kissing Elena's ass. even you Elena, kissing Damons ass. I never doubted it." Stefan said, calming his voice down a little throughout his small speech. 

Elena looked at him dumbfounded.

"Stefan. she made you drink form humans, she was going to help kill me she's got something going on with Klaus she has done so many things, don't you think she deserves a little punishment?"

"this isn't fucking pre school Elena! this is her brain! this is her mental health this is her life, flashbacks, and so much more you won't fucking understand! stop trying to pry yourself into her life, she will never come around to ever for a second like you! I don't think shell ever come around to being the littlest bit sane either. so good luck with that. thanks Damon. I'm not going to let her rot in there" Stefan turned and began to walk down to get Ariana out, and felt a familiar pain in his own back. he turned to Elena, shoving vervain into him as well. 

"I'm sorry Stefan, but we cant afford to have her out as well." she breathed the words through her nose as Stefan glared at her, dropping to the ground. 

------

the sound of the door opening caused Ariana to bury her eyes in her knees. 

"looks like you have a roommate." Damon said coldly, throwing Stefan in and slamming the door shut. after five minutes of closing her eyes, she slightly opened them and was greeted with an unconscious Stefan. 

she couldn't even move, she couldn't find the way to work her brain to even thinking. nothing was happening inside her. everything just stopped as the bags under her eyes drooped. She was just a body, rotting in this cellar, unable to make a single move. everything just stopped.
