Chapter 79: Talked with Catherine.
"I'm shivering over here. Got some coats?." I hear Grace whisper behind me.
"This place smells awful." Bosy said.

"I wonder why they ask us to clean it up. Who's going to sleep down here?." Another question from Grace made me stop abruptly and with force, I felt Grace hit her hand on my back.
"Shit!. Why did you stop?." She cried out, I imagined her rubbing her forehead..
"Shh...if you guys keep talking behind me, I might give up, turn around and allow you to go alone. Okay.."
I scolded them and flickered the touch light towards the iron door.
"I see a door, we'd better be fast." I told them. I started walking towards the door but stopped when I noticed they weren't following behind.
"No. I ain't going in there. I could just clean here up and go before things get creepy." Bosy said.
I slowly turned and pointed my touch at each of them. They looked not ready to go with me and I sighed.
"Fine. I'll go in there, clean it up and come out alive. Happy?." I was almost shouting..
They both smiled, "Good luck."
I bent down, picked the wash bin and started walking towards the door. I looked back, turned around, opened the door and walked in.

~Stefan's pov ~
Opening the door, I walked in. The guards in the security room bowed when they saw me. My eyes caught Abigail..or Elena walking into the cold room.

"Go outside and wait for me." I ordered and they left one after the other. I quickly sat down and folded my hands on top of the table.
~
~Elena's pov~
I'd better be fast or I will watch myself freeze to death. I carried my bucket and moved to the other end, then looked into the glasses. Then I found a red button behind the wall, the description beside it was 'press button for warm weather.' I quickly pressed the button and there was a beep and then the cold room was gradually fading away.
The blocks were beginning to melt away, giving me access to see all the sirens that were held captive. The way they lined each of them in bulks like frozen fishes. There were pipes connected to their noses and they looked unconscious.
I searched for Catherine and then saw her and her twin. I didn't know which was Catherine as they looked quite identical.
"I know that smell." Her tiny voice said, there she was, I waited for her to open her eyes but she didn't. "I know it's you Elena. You're not supposed to be here." She grunted out weakly.
"You know why I am here." I said. "I wonder why you're still alive. I thought you'd be dead by now." She said and I rolled my eyes at her. She can never change.
"I need to stop them. But I want to know if you have any idea of what the master is planning behind doors." I changed the topic as my time was running out.
A weak and brief laugh escaped from her lips.
"He wants to destroy the world, Elena. And he is far behind you. You can't stop him now.." She wheezed and coughed lightly.
They looked unhealthy, pale and unkept. I could see they were chained to the bunk and it would be hard trying to flee them. Catherine looked tired, I could notice she was unwell either.
Then I was determined to flee them. I know I'm not supposed to care for the sirens the way I do, everyone hates them so much but for Catherine, she begged me to help her.
I closed my eyes and opened them.
"How is he going to accomplish that?"
"I don't really know.." She stopped and breathed out deeply. She didn't say a word afterwards.
A knock at the iron gate made me look at the gate. "Abigail, are you there?. Are you okay?." I could hear Grace and Bosy shouting and hitting the door. I carried my bucket and turned to leave,
"The cave." She said, I turned and smiled at her before walking away.

"You have some nerves, you know. I didn't know you'd have the balls to go behind that iron door. Gosh, who're you?." Grace asked, looking at my face.
I pushed her aside and focused on the old fan turning faintly up at the ceiling.
"Hey, lord Stefan calls you. He sounded a bit angry when he asked me to fetch you."
I quickly looked up at Bosy and stepped down from the bed, Bosy sounded unhappy.
"Bosy, what did you do?." Grace asked, I didn't know Grace must had thought the same.
"I..I was trying to help Abigail, I was arranging his bed, he saw me and asked me to get out." I sighed.
"Bosy, what is wrong with you?What if the master had killed you instead?'' You're so unbelievable." I shook my head at her and walked out of the room. I've noticed Stefan is a bag of trouble, I pray she doesn't get herself into trouble one day.
I stepped into his room and closed the door behind me. I watched him come out of his closet, he was dressed in black jeans under a blue button-up shirt..
"I'm going out for a drink, " He threw some clothes on me, "Get dressed." He commanded and walked out of the room. I stood amazed, the door opened again and Stefan popped in his head.
"Don't stand looking at the clothes like an idiot." He closed back the door while I started pulling off my maid's uniform.

Out of the mansion, I hopped into the car while he sat in the driver seat. He ignited the car and drove off. We passed through the second gate and into the driveway. I was amazed at finding out that there was a cemented road in the forest.
The hunters made me pass through the cave and I didn't know that there was something like a driveway. Gosh!, don't be ridiculous now, where do you think they come with cars?. It never crossed my mind at all.
The car stopped in front of a local bar and we stepped out. We were in a town full of humans, it wasn't like they didn't have those places in hill town but he chose not to go there.
