Elena stared at her parents in shock. She couldn't comprehend it. It was all too much. But here they are. In front of her. Alive. Talking about her "Improvment". Elena put on a good face until they left. Then she went back to her room and fell asleep, crying.


Elena ran through a snow covered field. Every now and then, she'd glance back. Adrenaline fueled her, as she felt the thing that chased her, advance on her. She kept running until she ran into something. Hard. Bouncing back, she landed hard, crying out as pain flared through her. Elijah smirked as he helped her to her feet. "Time to wake up.." He whispered, gripping both sides of her head, twisting it sharply, snapping her neck.


Elena jolted awake, wondering why the world was upside down. Then as she swallowed hard, bile burning her throat, she remembered. She was in the basement. Elijah. He did this to her. Stefan. Damon. The hospital. It was all a dream. The door creaked open, shifting her attention to it. Elijah stood, smirking, in the doorway. "Good morning, Princess." He said, entering the room. Elena whispered "How long have I been asleep?" Elijah shrugged "A few days. Give or take." Elena glowered at him "Why're you doing this? It can't just be that I killed you. There has to be another reason.." Elijah chuckled "Smart girl.." Elena looked at him, "So there is another reason." Elijah nodded, whispering "Which I won't be telling you. Until I want you to know.." Elena looked at him, horrified "You're going to leave me here to die, aren't you?" Elijah shook his head, leering "No, darling. That would be a mericful ending for you. Too merciful for my tastes." Elena watched, horrified, as he walked to the door. "Let the games begin.." He said, locking her in the room.
