Lorelei's POV:

I wake to a cold blood bag at the door.

I keep track of time by how many blood bags I have gone through.

Six.

Two a day.

I've been in here for four days.

I haven't seen anyone in that time. The silence is what kills me the most.

I drain the bag as I sit on the bed.

I pace around the small bedroom. I open the door quietly and try to put my hand through but I hit the barrier.

Fuck!

I feel like I'm suffocating, like the walls are closing in and in any moment I'll be crushed.

Let me out.

Let me out.

I scream and punch the mirror, shattering it into a million fragments and they clink as they scatter to the ground.

I watch as the marks from where I'd been sliced with the glass heal and I punch the wall.

Over and over.

Let. Me. Out.

Hayley's POV:

It's been four days since we'd seen Lorelei.

I hope this is over soon.

Hope is using magic with Freya to create a garden of flowers to decorate the compound.

I sigh and collapse into a chair.

Elijah walks in off the street.

"Hey." I say

He doesn't speak to me.

"Elijah."

He turns.

"Yes?"

"Is this how it's always going to be between us?"

"What would you like to happen between us?"

"I was hoping at the least we could be friends."

He sighs.

"Hayley I will always have a love for you but I cannot bear to be around the woman who broke my heart. It's too soon." He says

"I left because it was too much."

I step closer and he turns away.

I sigh and sit back down as he disappears.

He returns with a box of his belongings.

I had tried to convince him to stay but I lost. He didn't want to displace me or Hope and believed we needed the protection more than he did.

Klaus walks in carrying a cooler.

"What's in the cooler?" I ask

"Blood bags. Restocking. Hopefully she turns it back on soon so I don't have to do it for her." He says with a sigh

"You can do that?" I ask

"Compulsion love. I'd just rather have it as a last resort."

"Why?"

"If I force it, it could ruin her. Emotionally."

Lorelei's POV:

The door opens and I'm blinded by sunlight. Nik walks in and I rush at him.

"How dare you lock me in here!" I yell

He dodges me and speeds behind me.

I whip around.

"Easy love."

"You had no right!"

He lets out a sigh.

"You're frustrated?!? You turned our bedroom into solitary confinement!"

I storm over ready to attack him and he pins me to the bed, arms over my head and he sits on top of me. I struggle but it's no use.

"I'm trying to help you and keep you and everyone else safe." He says

I let out a growl of annoyance.

"I can help you love."

"I don't want your help. I'd rather desiccate than spend another moment with you!" I hiss

He leans in close and I spit in his face.

Another sigh and he takes his free hand and wipes it off.

I try again but this time he quickly puts a hand over my mouth.

I glare at him.

"Turn it back on." He says gently

No.

"Turn it back on and all of this will be over. At first there will be overwhelming grief but one day you'll feel better. The pain will lessen."

He gets off of me and grabs the picture of Emma and me. I don't move.

"Remember the little girl you had saved. She made something beautiful out of her life. She worked hard everyday to make the wolves learn the freedom and life that comes with being a werewolf. You taught her that. You taught her that she was more powerful than the ones who meant to destroy her and she led hundreds of wolves to freedom because what you taught her."

I see a tear fall from her eyes.

She wipes it away quickly.

It's working.

"Let it in love. Remember how much you love her. Without that her memory and her death mean nothing."

Her eyes close and I see the moment that it happens. Her eyes well up with tears and she sobs.

I take her in my arms and soothe her as she grieves.

When she falls asleep I scan her. She's got dried blood splattered along her arm. I look around the room and spot the broken mirror.

I sweep up the shards and toss them in the trash.

I climb into bed with her, kissing her on the forehead gently and she moves to lay on my chest.

My eyes close.
