"As you know by now, I'm the one that planted the cameras in your homes watching your every move. I got to know you all very intimately. I'm also the one that ruined that gorgeous wedding gown of yours Stella. You have no idea how much satisfaction it gave me to destroy it with that black paint. The colour black, you should have taken that as a forewarning but you were too stupid." Melinda said with a triumphant smile.

"You crazy bitch. You going to burn in hell for that." Stella said as tears of anger welled up in her eyes.

Melinda laughed and patted Stella on the shoulder. "What's the matter Stella Wiccomb why aren't you laughing now hmm? You were laughing you heart out just minutes ago in there. Anyway lets go to the beginning ladies, you see, Jack was supposed to cut me up into tiny little pieces that night any bury my pieces, Damon Salvatore's orders because apparently that's how you get rid of your problems in this town but for some reason Jacky boy spared me that fate that night. I was hit over the head really, really hard even I thought I was a goner. I came by when I felt wet ground on my face. He was going to bury me alive. He knew I will suffocate in there but I don't think he had any idea how strong my will was to survive. And let me tell you this, ladies, it was not easy to get out of that hell hole but I made it out. After that I was found by a good Samaritan, cue in Amy. The reason why Amy was in the woods she later told me was that she had a one nightstand with a guy and when the guy's girlfriend called, he ditched her and left her there. Poor Amy in desperate need of a friend I was hurt she got hurt we made a good combination. She's a good girl but very easy to manipulate. She nursed me back to life even got one of her boyfriends that works at the hospital to steal morphine me."

"So, the bottles morphine Stella and I saw that day in Amy's house was yours." Bonnie said shocked.

"Thank you for stating the obvious Mrs Salvatore." Melinda said with sarcasm. "I was there that day waiting patiently for you to open that trapdoor and come down. I would have gutted you open like a pig."

Kate and Caroline gasped out loud. Stella turned paler by the minute.

"Anyway, Amy nursed me back to life I told her my sad version of my life story that my ex cheated, beat me and left me out there for death which in fact are all lies. She ate it all up and after that I got her to do anything for me like organising that hotel room for you and your lover Scott Reilly, Mrs Salvatore. Amy did work as a receptionist that time at the hotel remember." Melinda said enjoying the look of shock on Bonnie's face.

Caroline took her hand and squeezed it softly.

"I was really counting on Damon to kill you and your lover Scott in a rage fit of jealousy but unfortunately he spared the two of you and I had to come up with something else. That was very disappointing." Melinda said and laughed hard and cold. She utterly enjoyed seeing the shock faces of the women.

"And with the cameras I planted in your homes I had a lot of intel on you. Cue in Sam, the trouble now dead ex-girlfriend of your boy Alex. I was the one that told Amy to tell you where Sam was that she was the one who booked the hotel room. Little did you know that Sam had absolutely nothing to do with the hotel story. She was only staying hoping that Alex or Damon will take her. Poor girl, must have been hard for her to know that she will never be accepted by Bonnie. I mean she is the sister of Damon Salvatore's mistress. The mistress he strangled to death with his bare hands. Tell me Mrs Salvatore, how do you live with a man who sworn to love you but yet he shared a bed with another woman, touched her intimately, whispered sweet dirty words to her while making love to her."

"Stop it! Why are you so evil?" Kate said.

"Bonnie do not listen to her she's trying to get into your head.".: Caroline said when she saw how distraught Bonnie looked.

"That's why I gave you and Scott another chance but you even turned poor Scott down twice. To think I even wrote Scott love letters pretending to be you Bonnie poor Scott really fell hard for that. He lured you to his home but you didn't take the bait. You must really love Damon Salvatore to a fault." Melinda said mockingly.

"That's enough Melinda." Caroline said seethed with anger.

"It's never enough Caroline goody two shoes Salvatore. You poor thing, must be hard knowing your husband loves his job more than he loves you. Do your friends know that he barely touches you … intimately? I know why his doing that, he can't stand the sight of you." Melinda said and looked Caroline up and down with cold eyes. "My favourite day was Thanksgiving Day at the Henderson's. Our dear Kathy and her cooking at its best. I got to see all the murderers together at one table breaking bread while I'm lurking in the shadows like the plague."

"That's because you are the plague." Stella said with hate in her eyes.

"You all looked so happy, laughing, smiling. Eating good food drinking fine wine. The mother hen Kathy Henderson and her husband good ole Hendy sitting at the head of the table bursting with pride. All is right with the world. I looked at everyone at the table soaking in everything and then I saw those two adorable little Salvatore twins sitting safely between mother and father and I imagine how they will look in my steel chairs specially designed by me." Melinda said with eyes glowing dark and sinisterly.

"What did you do? What did you do?" Stella asked ghost white in the face.

"You should be more worried with what I did to Jack, Stella Wiccomb. Let's just say you won't get your happily ever after." The utter disbelieve, shock and devastation on Stella's face made Melinda smile even wider. "Cheer up ladies all is not lost. We still get to hunt; I mean me of course. That's right ladies, I'm going to set you lose into the wild and hunt you down like animals and believe me when I say this, I always find and kill my prey.
