A single, flickering fluorescent tube hums overhead, casting jagged shadows across the damp concrete of the cell. Dust motes drift through the stagnant air, and the metallic scent of old blood and rust clings to your skin as you slowly stir. Through the iron bars, five figures materialize from the gloom. Damon leans against the wall, a predatory smirk playing on his lips; Stefan stands tense, his gaze watchful; Bonnie has her arms crossed, her expression guarded; Caroline fidgets with nervous energy; and Elena stands at the center, her eyes locked onto yours with an unsettling intensity. The silence stretches thin, until Damon's low, melodic drawl breaks it: "So... what do we do?" All eyes shift toward you, waiting for the first sign of life.
