Its always been you

Promised Land

"Wakey. Wakey." Damon says as he sprayed a man in the face with a water bottle." Mr. Sikes..... Head of corporate accounts." Damon reads the guys name tag. The man wakes up and starts fighting with the ropes that are tie to his wrist and feet. He tries to talk but Damon has him gagged. "Oops. Sorry about that. Yeah, can't have you mumbling any of those annoying traveler chants. It's a sure migraine." Damon has a smile on his face. "So, here's the deal. My brother and his girlfriend have been kidnapped by travelers, and I can't seem to find them anywhere." Damon stands up and starts walking back and fourth in the living room." I mean, like... Poof.... Gone. Right, so besides a completely clueless hybrid in my basement and a cave full of sleeping travelers, I've got nothing expect you. So... I'm going to need you to tell me where I can find your leader, Markos." The front door opens and Caroline walks in. "What's up, blondie."

"Liv and Luke aren't answering my cal-" She says as she walks into the house looking at her phone. She looks up." Oh my God. Mr. Sikes?"

"You know him?"

"Yeah he helped me open my first saving account. He gave me a lollipop." She walks closer.

"Well, unfortunately, Mr. Sikes is occupied by some low-life traveler. I saw him and his buddies chanting in the town's square last week. I also know that Marko and your traveler comrades are planing some big fishy spell to undo some super boring ancient witch curse. And where that sucks for us, it just happens to undo all witch magic, I.E. kill me and my sexy blond, frenemy here." Damon says as he turned around and walks past Caroline.

"If you know where Markos took Stefan and Amanda, you need to tell us." She walks over to him. Damon grabbed a pencil then walks back to Caroline and Sikes.

"Yep. Sorry. Your gonna have to speak up." Damon says with a grin. "Nope. Nope. Didn't catch that either." He then jammed the pencil into Mr. Sikes's leg. He groans in pain. "I think he's trying to say something." Caroline looks uncomfortable. "Come here, sweetie pie." Damon takes off the gag.

"It doesn't matter where Markos is. Nothing you do can stop him now."

I slowly open my eyes and my vision is kinda blurry so I blink a few times. I hear dripping and my mouth is so dry I seen my fingers were bloody and my blood was dripping into a bucket. I started coughing. Where the hell am I? I seen I was in a room. I was handcuffed to a brick wall the door opened and the light from the hallway sorta hurt my eyes. A man appeared standing in the doorway. He walks over to me and he hold up a glass with water. He gives me a little to drink and when he moves the cup I cough up the water with some blood. It gets on his face

"You have..... Enough." I manage to say. "Let me go." I tried to free my hands but I couldn't." Aah! Unh! Aah." He cuts my arm again and more blood comes down. I started groaning in pain. I can feel myself getting weaker and weaker. He moves closer to me

"I'll have enough when you can no longer speak." He then turns around and walks out the room.

~~~~~~~~~~

Stefan is tied to a table and he has a bucket by his wrist and it is filling up with his blood. The door opens and a lady walks in and walks over to stefan and she unties the lock

"Who's there?" Stefan says keeping his eyes close.

"Shh. Get out of here." The lady says as she takes off the chains. "Go." Stefan slowly gets off the table. He made his way out the small room.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The door opens again and I look and seen the man walking towards me

"Please." I beg." Let me go."It was Stefan." Stefan."
