"Aw"

"Who is this?"

"Bon"

"Damon?"

"What's going on?"

"Alaric? Is that you?"

"Yeah, Where are we?"

"No idea"

"Stefan?"

"Croline?"

"Wait, I think I found something"

Klick.

One electric light illuminated the room, hanging over an iron bed which upon it laid-"Damon? Why are you laying on that table?" "Oh, grate question blondie, let me ask you a question in return- are you blind? Can't you see I'm tied to this stupid thing?" said Damon,"Shut up Damon, stop being a dick. Were are we anyway?" muttured Alaric, looking around for clues.

"I have no idea, I remember we all were in the boarding house and someone shot us with vervain darts" said Stefan "Anyone remember anything else?"

"No..."

"Nothing..."

The table was in the middle of the room, Alaric and stefan stood up froon the floor beside Damon, and Bonnie and Caroline stood at the other side of him.

Around their necks were metal collars with large strings, the strings were long and ended in the walls, Alarics and Stefans to one wall and Carolines and Bonnies to the opposite one.

On one of the walls was an illustation and there was a large timer above an irone door that counted 58:34 minets.

The gang tried to open the door, but it was immpossible.

"Hey, there are knifes and scalpels under that table" Bonnie mumbeled, bending and picking up a scalple to look more closely.

"Did you guys notice you have collars around your necks?" Damon asked.

"Maybe the knifes can cut then off" said Caroline.

They tried to take the matel collars off with hands, vampire strengh, knifes and the scalpels, nothing worked.

"Well this is disturbing, you stand here in a leash like some oversized dogs and I laid here with nothing to do cause I'm fucking tied to a table!" noted Damon sarcasticly.

"ha ha ha Damon, now stop with the wailing, I'm sure we can get out of here" Caroline said, although looking unconvinced.

"Guys, I found something" Alaric called frone one of the walls. On the wall there was a note, Stefan took it and read: "the collars will be pulled if you wont succeed in the task, you have one hour"

"What does it mean 'pulled'?" asked Bonnie "I think it will be pulled back into the wall...With us."Alaric said darkly "With us?"mumbled Caroline,seriously annoyed "I think the collars will cut our heads off when the collars will be pulled into the walls if we don't complete the task"

"what task?" asked Bonnie, confused. "I have no idea."

"I think I found 'the task'" muttered Caroline from the opposite side of the room.

"What is it?"

"I dont know...Come and see"

It was an illustation of the human body, but with drawed keys in random places.

"There are six keys,maybe some keys can undo the collars!" Bonnie called.

"But... Where are the real keys? Those are just drawings..."

"Oh I think I know where they might be" sighed Damon heavily

"Really?"

"For gods sake put two and two togather! This is an illustration of a body, there are keys on it, and i'm laying on a table that looks like an operating one while there are scalpels in the room and you need to free yourselfes! You need to get the keys from my body using the illustation and scalpels!"

"What? No way! Were not cutting you open!" Stefan protested

"How can you not care about us cutting you like that?" Alaric asked with disbelief

"Yes, it is me you need to cut open and because of that I want you to get it over with and save your asses! If I could I would take those keys out myself but I cant, and trust me when I say I'm happy to be the one laying here and not one of you" Damon said angrily"Just do "

"OK" Stefan whispered"We'll do it. But at least im going to break your neck so you cant feel anything"

"thought you'd never ask" sined Damon, pleased

"That wont be necessary" Bobbie said from the illustation "There is another note"

"What?"

"Damon cannot be unconscious or dead. He have to stay awake,to feel it"

"Why?" asked a horrified Caroline

"The note says 'If Damon will be unconscious or dead you will lose immediately'"said Bonnie quitely.

Stefan dropped his head, horrified from what he will have to do to his brother. Damon noded from the table and sighed, accepting and preparing himself for whats to come.

"Do it now, get this over with"said Damon

"OK, so there are six keys, one behined the left eye, two in the small intestine, one in the liver,in the spleen and in the right lung"Alaric said "What I dont understand is why six and not four keys?"

"Maybe they counted Stefan more then once, I knew he gained some weight...must be the bunnie blood..."Damon giggled, and stopped when she saw Stefans glare.

"We'll begin with the spleen I guess...Is that ok with you Damon?" Alaric asked,looking at Damon for permission

"fine by me"

"lets do it then"Stefan sighed.

Alaric and stefan got back to the table, and bonnie and caroline stood at the other side of it, all of them nervous and scared.

Alaric dived under the table and took a scalpel, to his horror, he saw another small note under it, wich read:"Let the game begin".
