SKIN LIKE STONE [2]

10

The Salvatore's had decided to visit the one and only Katherine Pierce, who was still stuck inside the tomb with no escape.
"Look at you Kitty all alone."
Roman faked a pout leaning on the edge of the tomb.
"You sound so cocky Roman, like you weren't all alone for your whole life."
Roman hissed as the doppelgänger laughed in his face.
"Plus I wouldn't be so arrogant."
Katherine smirked.
Little did Roman know his jacket happened to be within Katherine's reach.
The vampire didn't hesitate to grab it pulling him inside.
"Roman!"
Damon shouted sighing as Stefan threw his hands up in exasperation.
"Are you kidding me?"
Roman gave each word stress as Katherine laughed.
Roman was absolutely livid.
He grabbed the girls throat slamming her hard against the tomb walls making them shake.
"Roman don't!"
He heard Stefan yell.
"Katerina Petrova you are so lucky I need to keep you alive."
Roman hissed in a whisper.
"You wouldn't kill me."
Katherine smirked.
"You're right, because I have to give you to Klaus."
Roman dropped the girl seeing the fear in her eyes.
"Roman what are we supposed to do now?"
Stefan asked worriedly.
"The hell if I know!"
Roman glared at his twin tensely.
"We'll figure it out."
Damon sighed he and Stefan stomping away.
"Look at us Roman, just like old times."
"Thankfully old times are old times and we aren't forced to relive them."
"Who's Enzo?"
Roman's eyes widened at the girl.
"H-How do you know that?"
Katherine grinned at how nervous Roman sounded.
"Oh Ro, it's so easy to get into your head."
Katherine chuckled as Roman swallowed hard.
"You are so weak lately, you aren't yourself."
"I'm not in here for your therapy."
Roman hissed.
"What changed you Roman? You were so kind, you couldn't even imagine going behind Stefan's back when you were human."
Katherine grinned knowing she was hitting Roman's nerves just right.
"Things change."
Roman told her quietly, the weight of what he was doing settling on his shoulders.
"Do they know about the 1920's? 1958? 1994-"
"Enough!"
Roman shouted his head beginning to ache.
"You make me want to rip my own heart out of my chest."
Roman mumbled dragging a hand across his face.
"Now that would be entertainment."

Roman closed his eyes hoping to pass the time in his own personal hell.

When Roman woke up he would've never thought he'd see what he did.
"Great so apparently both of us are running for the 'Guinness World Record' of the biggest idiots in the world."
Stefan rolled his eyes at his brothers sarcasm.
"We'll get out of here."
Stefan tried to reassure his twin.
Roman merely groaned as if being trapped with Katherine was like stabbing himself in the heart.
Because it sure as hell felt like it.
