Third person p.o.v.
Arabella woke up to the sound of chains moving. She sat up from the couch she laid on groggily and looked around, seeing Damon. He was chained to a chair with a hot poker sticking in his chest. Arabella saw Bucky sitting silently at her feet.

"What the hell happened?" Arabella asked adamantly.

"Brother dearest happened." Damon groans out, looking to the floor for a quick second. Arabella follows his gaze, seeing the his daylight ring on the floor.

Arabella sighed, kneeling in front of Damon. "Low blow, Stefan. Low blow."

Stefan appears at the doorway with his arm crossed. Upon seeing his siblings, he chuckled. "What the hell happened to you?"

"Whatever twisted ripper game this is, leave me out of it." Damon breathes out as Bucky travels to Stefan's feet.

Stefan smiles at the dog quickly before walking over to Damon. "I didn't do this."

"Quite screwin' around!" Damon exclaims as Arabella puts her hand in the hot poker and pulls it out of his chest quickly, making Damon groan in pain.

"I didn't." Stefan says, looking around at Damon's situation. "It's pretty messed up though, isn't it?"

"Yup." Damon says silently as Arabella throws the hot poker to the side as Stefan rips off a chain that was restraining Damon's hand. Stefan pats Damon on the shoulder before walking out.

"Yeah, not to worry. I'll just untangle myself." Damon says to his retreating figure. He looks to Arabella, who smirks at her brother.

"Little sister, you know how much I love you." Damon says sweetly, making Arabella chuckle.

At that moment, the curtain moved wide open on its own, exposing the sunlight to Damon. He screams as his skin sizzles as Arabella quickly rips the chains off of him and pulls him into the shade.

As Damon heals, he smiles smally at his sister. "Thanks for the save."

Arabella looks around the room, ignoring his thank you, but taking it to heart. "I think we're being haunted."

Damon pulled over next to Bonnie and Caroline, who were hanging decorations with a ladder on the sidewalk. Arabella hopped out of the car as Caroline pulled her into a quick hug.

Then the three girls turned to Damon. "Greetings, Blondie. Witchy. I think you got you voodoo wires all crossed when you got rid of Vicki Donovan."

"What do you mean? Why?" Bonnie questions.

"Because I'm pretty sure I just got spit-roasted by Mason Lockwood's ghost." Damon informs.

"What?" Bonnie asks for clarification.

"And why would you think that?" Caroline asks.

"Well, he chained my brother to a chair and shoved a hot poker in his chest, while I slept calmly on the couch with a broken neck." Arabella supplies, making the other two girls grow concerned.
