Matt, Keith, Bonnie, Jeremy and Veronica were sitting around the kitchen table. Veronica had given each a cup of coffee, in order to stay awake.
“Thank you” Jeremy said uncomfortable. “You don’t really know Elena. It’s not like you owe her anything”
Veronica cast him a grin that didn’t reach her eyes. “Anything for my soldiers” she replied charming.
“How’s that going?” Matt asked, trying to keep a conversation. “Do you need anyone else in your…army?”
“Why? Interested?” Veronica returned, raising her eyebrows. “For now the training’s canceled” She turned to Jeremy. “Until your sister’s recovered”
Jeremy blinked, taken aback a little. “Thanks. That’s…really thoughtful of you”
“Hmm” Veronica smirked and she stood. “You all must be hungry. I’ve got some deep-fried pizzas in the basement. I’ll go get them”
Her guests declined her offer, claiming that couldn’t eat right now.
“Nonsense” Veronica insisted. “You have to eat something” She walked away to the basement.
Keith leaned forward to the others. “If we’re ever going to escape, we should do it now”
“Keith’s right. I don’t trust this” Bonnie sided with Keith.
The four of them stood and wanted to leave, when Veronica returned. Not with pizzas, though, with her crossbow.
“Leaving so soon?” she asked, acting offended.
“What are you doing?” Jeremy asked, backing away. He covered for the others. “Go through the backdoor” he hissed. Keith ran to the backdoor, but found it locked.
“Oh, you guys are not going anywhere” Veronica said mischievous and she looked at Keith, Bonnie and Matt. She turned back to Jeremy. “You on the other hand” She fired and shot an arrow in Jeremy’s leg. He screamed and collapsed.
“Get up” Veronica commanded. Jeremy held his leg with both hands and cried. “Get up or I’ll shoot the girl”
Knowing Veronica would perform her threat, Jeremy scribbled up difficult. Veronica grabbed his arm.
“Everything you need is in this house” she said to the other three. “There’s food, hot water, there’s television. Make yourselves at home, but don’t think about getting out, because you can’t”
She dragged Jeremy to the front door. “We’re going for a ride”
“Thank you” Jeremy said uncomfortable. “You don’t really know Elena. It’s not like you owe her anything”
Veronica cast him a grin that didn’t reach her eyes. “Anything for my soldiers” she replied charming.

Present Day
“She suggested to stay with her so we could catch up, but I already promised Keith to stay with him. But we spent more time together. When Mayor Lockwood died I returned, but you know that. You basically stalked me with your calls to get you out of trouble. How many nights did you spend in jail?” Kelsey chuckled. Then she sighed. “If I had foreseen this I would’ve enjoyed those little moments”
Amber didn’t react.
“Amber, sweetie, did you fall asleep?” Kelsey asked with a squeezed voice, knowing better. She pulled her sister up, taking her face in her hands. “Come on, it’s night. You’re a vampire, you should be awake” she said with a trembling voice.
But Amber still didn’t show any sign of life.
“Amber?” Kelsey sobbed, tears rolling over her cheeks and she held her little sister tightly in her arms. The moon slowly rose…

Anna materialized in the ICU. The doctors had brought Cas here. There was nothing they could do as long as they didn’t have the donors they needed.
Anna, holding a pair of kidneys in her left hand and a liver in her right hand, quickly walked to the bed. She removed the sheets with her mind and cut open Cas’ belly. While blood streamed alongside Cas’ unconscious body and on the matrass, Anna put the organs in their rightful place.
The monitor started beeping and Anna vanished, when a team of doctor’s came rushing into the intensive care.
“I need to talk to security” the doctor said, when he’d fixed up Cas’ properly. “Someone was here. Someone attempted to kill this man”
“Someone who gave him the organs he needed?” his assistant frowned. “Why would anyone do that?”
“I don’t know” the doctor said. “But I want someone to keep an eye on him, as long as he’s here”
