❝a prisoner's life❞
"THIS IS A BAD IDEA—A VERY, VERY, BAD IDEA." Damon pushes Elijah away from Katherine as the Original drags her into his living room, ignoring her exclamation of irritance. "What part of the plan is this?"
Elijah plucks Damon's hand off his chest, giving him a pointed look. "It isn't. Klaus will be here within the next few days, and he requested Katherine be monitored closely."
"Close as in trapped underground alone to rot until she's useful again? Or in my house where she can escape at any time and run away?"
The Original huffs a laugh at Damon's disdain. "Don't worry, Damon, she can't leave this place. I've compelled her to– well, tell him, Katerina."
The doppelgänger gives them a sarcastic smile from her place on the couch. "If I try to leave the Salvatore Boarding house by any means, without permission from Elijah, I will promptly take my daylight ring off and stand in the sun until I burn to ashes in the driveway or stake myself in the heart."
"Oh, wow, a doppelgänger barbecue– how delightful." Damon matches the glare Katherine sends his way and pulls Elijah a few feet away from the woman. "Does Klaus remember the part where this is one of the people we're trying to kill?"
"This person can hear you still!"
Damon shushes Katherine and she looks at him incredulously. "Did you just shush me?"
Elijah pushes Damon slightly and turns to look at Katherine pointedly. "That's enough, both of you. I'm afraid that for now, Katherine is moving in and we all have to deal with it. And remember, Damon, all of us have been wronged by her."
Katherine smiles smartly as Elijah heads towards the stairs, and Damon rolls his eyes when he turns his back.
He forcibly opens his eyes and looks at Katherine, who's got her head on her arms as she looks at Damon over the back of the couch. Her smirk irritates him, and he twists his daylight ring around his finger a few times before letting out a deep sigh.
Silently, he storms over to the box holding the Gilbert journals and grabs three of them, dropping them haphazardly in Katherine's lap. "If you're here, you have to help."
She scoffs and flips through the diaries. "I don't do homework assignments, Damon."
"If you don't read, you're getting put in the basement with the rest of the prisoners." Damon flicks a page in the journal with a mocking smile. "And trust me, you wouldn't like it down there."

The sun had long since set since Elijah arrived with Katherine. Though the Original had disappeared to his room since coming back, Katherine and Damon had stayed in the living room going through every Gilbert journal they had.
