Final.

I didn't see much of Katherine in the next few days, I heard her coming and going, but the only person I saw was the woman who I assumed must have owned the house. She didn't ever have much to say, but I figured that was part of the compulsion. I could hear her sweeping and washing the floors. One day I walked over to the door hoping that I could get a peek at the rest of the house, but as soon as I touched the knob I heard her thundering down the hall towards me, she threw the door open and told me that I was not to leave this room. Katherine's meager blood offerings did not equip me to overpower her, so I returned to the bed.

Later that same night I heard the front door open and Katherine and another woman whom she seemed to know quite well entered, talking, laughing. I didn't really know what to make of it, so I crept over to the door to hear them better. Most of their conversation was muffled, I could only make out a few words, "spell," "stay in," "daughter." I couldn't make any sense of it all. I sat back on the bed wishing desperately for a book or my journal. My bag must be around here somewhere, I had it with me when she kidnapped me and I knew my e-reader was in it. The monotony of sitting in this room was driving me crazy.

I looked through the drawers in the dresser, but found only sheets and nightshirts, nothing of value to me. Closing the drawers I decided that if I couldn't control anything outside the room, maybe I could re-arrange the furniture, give it a more personal touch, well as personal as one can be in a room with only two pieces of furniture. I stood thinking about where I would put the bed when I heard something outside the door. It was very quiet, almost a whisper, strange words I had never heard. It wasn't English and as far as I could tell it wasn't Spanish, Bulgarian or French either, it probably most closely resembled the limited Latin I had learned over the years. The quiet voice went silent and I could hear Katherine asking if it was done. Another voice spoke and confirmed that it was indeed done.

What was done, what were they talking about? I moved closer to the door to hear them better, cupping my hands I leaned in closer, but hit something a few inches before the door. I jumped back but saw nothing. Reaching my hand out towards the door I hit something again. There was some kind of an invisible barrier like the ones that kept vampires out of any house that they hadn't been invited into. This barrier hadn't been there before. What the hell was going on? I used both hands and pushed as hard as I could, but whatever was in front of the door held fast.

I yelled for Katherine, why couldn't I get through? I heard multiple sets of footsteps coming down the hallway. The homeowner yanked the door open and stared down at me. She ushered me back to my bed, but I didn't want to sleep, I wanted to know what was going on. I wasn't at my peak, but I could easily slip out of her grasp and back to the door. I watched as Katherine raised a hand signaling to the woman to let me be. I demanded to know what was going on.

I could see that Katherine was getting tired of these outbursts from me, but I didn't care. I stood as close as I could get to her as horrible words escaped my mouth. She had trapped me in a bedroom in an unfamiliar house in the middle of God knows where and I deserved an explanation. She crossed her arm and in a voice that one would only use on a child she told me "if you would calm down for a minute maybe I will be able to tell you."

I was enraged, I felt my face change and my fangs slide down but I stopped screaming. "You are far too great a risk for me to allow you out of this room. I have some business to attend to so I won't be available to babysit." This of course made me even more angry. She was seriously going to leave me trapped in this room while she was gone? She motioned for the woman to come out of the room and she walked right through the barrier. I put my hands out again, and again they met resistance. Katherine just smiled as I struggled against my invisible foe.

I could keep trying, or just accept that I was trapped. "Where do you think you are going while I am stuck in here?" I asked her.

"I have a bone to pick with Damon and Stefan. They left you alone in the house that any vampire could enter, let you walk around town alone without knowing who the Originals are or what they look. They were setting me up. If the Originals got their hands on you it would only be a matter of time before they came for me and then we would both be dead. I[m just going to warn them that if that ever happens again I will hunt them down and kill them myself."

That set me off again, I was screaming, hurling pieces of the broken mug at her. She told me to stop, but I was just getting started. I was running out of pieces large enough to throw so I went over to the dresser, pulled out a drawer and started breaking pieces off. Katherine called for the homeowner whose appearance stopped me. I saw Katherine's face turn, it was the first time I had seen her as a vampire and it scared me. Suddenly I knew what she was about to do. I ran to the doorway "no, no, no!" but it was too late, by the time I got there she had already sunken her fangs into the woman's neck and a moment later she let the body fall lifeless to the floor, blood dripping down her chin. "That is what happens when you choose to be obstinate so I suggest you use some of your down time to think about that." I slumped to the floor in tears, and Katherine scowled in disgust at me and walked away.

Moments later she came back with two bottles of blood in her hand. She threw the bottles onto the bed. "You should probably ration that out wisely, it might be a while before I get back here." I stood gazing at her and she just smirked and walked away, down the hall and out the front door. I saw car headlights out the window and jumped onto the bed banging on the glass as the car turned around and headed for the street. This couldn't be happening. She wasn't really leaving me here all alone.

I beat my hands against the window…"KATHERINE!"…..
