"It's locked!" I exclaim, already feeling myself start to panic as well. I gulp once I see Alaric standing right behind my friend.

Caroline seemed to have noticed him through the reflection of her car window and spins around only to have Alaric snap her neck. "Oh, my god!"

"Alaric, please." I beg, unable to do anything at the moment. I had no weaponry on me and considering he's a newbie vampire, I don't think testing him would be off to a great start.

The sun starts to boil his skin and I take a step backwards, but the pain he's feeling right now wants him to complete his mission fast and that's when darkness clouded my eyesight.

The throbbing pain in my head causes my eyes to slowly open. The first thing I come to contact with is the familiar tile floor belonging to a classroom. My eyes travel from my legs to my hands and I soon find myself tied to a chair.

I breathe in heavily, remembering my last moments before I lost consciousness. I turn my head to find my blonde friend trapped to a chair but unlike me, she has a wet cloth wrapped around her mouth. The red blisters forming made me come to conclusion that the wet substance is vervain.

A muffled scream erupts from my friend and I widen my eyes, immediately waking myself up completely. Two pencils were impaled in each of her hands and I gulp, feeling my heart beat quicken.

"Caroline!" I exclaim and her eyes go big in fear and I can catch a glimpse of her falling tears. "Hold on. I'll get us out of here." I assure her, trying to figure out a way to free myself.

The sound of footsteps makes me freeze up in fear. The last night I want is Evilaric to kill the two of us. My sister pops her head into the classroom and rushes over to us, gasping, "Maya! Caroline!"

Alaric enters the premise and my breathing hitches. "Let them go, Alaric!" Elena turns to him and he gestures to the two of us with his hand, "Free them yourself."

Elena looks at me and I shake my head, pointing my head to Caroline since she's the one enduring pain. She cautiously steps over to our friend, lowering herself and strokes Caroline's arm soothingly.

She begins to gently pull the pencil out of one of Caroline's hands, but Alaric comes up and slams the pencil back down. Caroline screams in horror and I gasp, shutting my eyes.

"You said that you would let her go!" Elena yells at him. "How many times do I have to tell you, Elena? Stop trusting vampires!"

"Then why tie Maya up? She's not a vampire. Let her go." Elena demands and Alaric starts to chuckle. "Have you not been paying attention? Are you too close minded to see that your sister is the answer to everything I need?"

"What are you talking about?" Elena inquires and I furrow my eyebrows, unaware of what he's referring to.

"I'm talking about Klaus. He'll eventually learn that I've held her captive and Prince Charming will be on his way to save his princess. This way I'll have a chance to kill him."

"You would really put her at risk?" Elena asks and I notice a few tears string at the corners of her eyes.

"I wouldn't have to. I would gladly like to put her hunting abilities up to test, but I've learned something today." Alaric gets down near me, "She sympathizes him."

I inhale a breath, avoiding eyes with Elena. Of course he overheard my conversation with both Rebekah and Caroline. One of his new perks of being a vampire.

I close my eyes for a moment before revealing them. "Just let us go, Alaric. No one has to die."

Alaric grins, standing up and makes his way over to Caroline. He takes away the cloth from her mouth and dips it in vervain. "Alaric, stop it!" I yell.
