Stefan's POV
I groan as I'm dragged into the basement. My eyes lock on a beaten, bruised and near naked Natasha. I had grown to like her over the past few months. She had a deep fascination with my centuries and she was completely innocent. She shouldn't be in a basement, tied up and being a blood bag and toy for some crazy vampires. "What the hell did you do to her?" I growled. The man who attacked me the other night chuckled.
"Oh her, what a delight she is. Death seer and man is she intoxicating." He spoke smugly just as he let the vervain ropes run over me. I screamed as they tortured me and not once did the youngest Gilbert ever move or show any signs of recovering from her unconsciousness.
Elena's POV
I got Mr. Saltzman into his classroom to talk. I blinked trying to keep my bloodshot eyes open. The most if not two people were taken away from me and I need his help. "Stefan's in the house and Damon can't get in. We need you, I would go, but..." I paused.
"But your life is valuable. You's on the other hand." Alaric glared at Damon's words.
"Stefan told me about your ring." I blurted out.
"What about it?" He asked.
"Let me recap...You tried to kill me. I defended myself. You died. Then according to my brother, your ring brought you back to life. Am I leaving anything out?" Damon spoke rudely.
"Yeah the part where I attack you again. This time I don't miss. I'm sorry Elena, but it's not my problem." Mr. Saltzman glared at Damon. Alaric started to walk away.
"Natasha is in there and she knows how to find Isobel. Or at least she has an idea." I yelled out. Alaric froze. I know he was a father figure for my little sister, something she desperately needed. My dad or I guess my adoptive dad was very close with her and protective. She was the same way and she was so close she kinda fell without him. She needed someone like my history teacher.
"You're lying." He whispered. I got Damon to leave and he was reluctant, but did as I said. I walked up to my teacher and grabbed his hand.
"This is my fault isn't it?" He asked.
"What?" He lost me.
"The vision she had that killed her was her vision of me. I didn't know I formed such a connection with her. She wouldn't have died if I wasn't so stupid and she wouldn't be captured in a house full of vampires, if it wasn't for me." He hit his head on a desk, punishing himself.
"Sasha is an emotional girl. Her dad and her where so close that she was always leaning on him for support. When he died, she didn't have anything to balance her and hold her. Then she met you. You are like a father to her and right now she is trapped and you and I both know you can help her." He signed and nodded.
Natasha's POV
I groaned as I groggily woke up. I felt completely sore from being raped and beaten. I looked up to see Stefan with a tight smile as he was chained up. I gasped and tried to help him, but was pulled back by my chains. "Hey, you doing fine?" Stefan asked me. I let out a whimper as I tugged on the chains.
"H-how c-come no-none of them h-have c-come d-down h-here again?" I stuttered in plain fear. Stefan signed.
"Whenever any of them tried to hurt you I would try my best to distract them by taunting them and stuff." He explained.
"D-did-n't the-they hurt y-you?" He nodded.
"W-we will g-get o-out of t-this." I struggled to speak.
"I'll try to break these chains and I'll get you out of here, by the window."
"W-what about y-you?"
"I need to get you out first. I know Elena's worried about you. More people are worried about you then they are me." I closed my eyes in concentration and felt the spirits come threw to me. I signed in the power. "Sasha?" Stefan asked.
"You'll sweet for sacrificing yourself, but it is me who will."
"What? What are you doing? Stop!" I zoned out his yells as I focused on my powers. Currently all the spirits were coming together to give me power. I was probably the only living death seer, so the dead, dead seers are gonna want to help me.
I felt the chains rattle on Harper and Stefan's chains and they eventually broke. The door slammed open and Elena and Damon appeared. Damon screamed in outrage by the pain he was receiving. I fought against the spirits since they wanted to kill them. I got them to stop, but for what seemed to be the tenth time this month I slipped into darkness.
Alaric's POV
I kept my mind focused on Natasha and I was having the best fight of my life. I had just taken another one down when Damon appeared. Since Elena was getting Stefan first I went downstairs to grab Natasha. My heart nearly broke at the sight of her. She was obviously raped and beaten which fueled my anger even more. I broke off her chains and picked her up gently. I carefully lead her away and Damon followed me after yelling at the two female vampires. I didn't pay much attention as I was focused on Natasha. I got her back to the car and everyone was there when she jumped awake. She untangled herself from my arms and ran. I didn't know what, but Damon picked up her saying the body being lost shall be found. Stefan was getting worse so I had Damon take the others home while I chased after her.
I ran threw the woods following her. I heard a scream and my speed increased. I walked up to see Natasha leaning over a decomposing body. A body I recognized from the papers. Vicki Donovan.
Natasha's POV
I signed as I heard someone knock on my door. I opened the door to my bedroom to see Damon. I walk away, but leave the door open. "So... how are you feeling?" He asks faking concern.
"Damon I just died, got kidnapped and beaten. I'm not in the best mood." I told him trying to remain polite. He sighed and walked up to me.
"What are you doing?" He looked deep into my eyes.
"You're going to leave Mystic Falls. You're going to go stay with some family friends. You will go to high school and you'll have fun. You will be yourself. You will forget being kidnapped, beaten and dying."
"I am going to leave Mystic Falls. I'm going to stay with some family friends. I am going to go to high school and I will have fun. I will be myself. I will forget being kidnapped, beaten and dying." I whispered.
