𝑨nastasia stands alone in the Salvatore family crypt, her eyes locked on her lifeless body and a sigh leaves her lips as she turns around to walk out.

"Anastasia."

The green-eyed girl slowly looks up, confusion on her face as she looks up at the dead witch, "Emily?"

"You must face the consequences of your actions." Emily Bennett tells the hybrid, "You helped murder that innocent family and you must face the consequences."

"Emily, what the hell are you talking about?"

"The Gemini coven summoned us, and we made a deal. You must face the consequences of your actions."

Feeling a deep pain within her chest, Anastasia spins around to face the coffin where her boy laid, gasping as she looks into the empty box.

Gripping her chest, the vampire turns back to face Emily, a look full of hatred burns through the witch who stood their calmly, "What the hell did you do, you dumb bitch?"

❛𝐍atty, wakey, wakey.❜ A new voice filled her ears, the voice sounding like it was almost under water, "God, I don't remember you being this dramatic about coming back."

A loud gasps rings through the air as Anastasia's eyes snap open, gasping for as much air as she could gather into her lungs and slowly, the grey color to her skin and veins covering her body fade away until she was back to her usual color of tan.

"There you go! Finally, you took forever!"

Her head stands in the direction of the voice before she glances around the unknown house before looking back at the figure sitting on the coffee table in front of the couch she was laying on.

Malachai Parker, the siphoning witch she had been married to in the nineties, stared down at her with a smirk on his face, "Morning, Wifey!"

"What. The. Hell?" She quickly sits up, bringing a hand up to her head as she grew dizzy for a split second, "I — I was dead. They — They killed Kol and I died. How did I—? Where the hell are we?"

Kai holds his arms out as he spoke with a wide smile on his face, "Welcome to 1994!"

Anastasia stares at him in disbelief, "You're joking."

"I'm afraid not. We're in a 1994 prison world, doomed to like out the day on a constant loop." Kai stands up, hands going into the front pockets of the black jeans he was wearing, "The day you helped me murder my family, to be more specific. After my dad and the rest of the Gemini coven tracked me down, they sent me here as a form of punishment, I just don't know how you're here forty years later."

"Short version; I died and a witch from 1864 told me that I had to face my consequences." Anastasia sighed, falling back against the cushions on the couch, "And here I am."

"Well, we have time to kill." Kai sits down next to her and kicks his legs up on the coffee table, hands moving to rest behind his head, "I'll take the long version for six hundred, Natty."

"Why the hell not." She shrugged, turning to face him, "So—,"

❛𝐖ait. Let me get this straight. You and your uncle moved back to Mystic Falls where he was looking after a girl he saved from her parents care going over a bridge, and this girl looks exactly like Katherine, their vampire girlfriend that they thought was stuck in a tomb. You dad turned one of your friends into a vampire, the other one is a witch, there's a human boy named Matt that everyone seems to hate, and your guy best friend is a werewolf? You ended up dating a human boy named Jeremy, who come to find out, is a vampire hunter.❜ Kai relays everything that Anastasia had told him in the last few hours.

"Then, Klaus comes to Mystic Falls after words gets out that his doppelganger is alive and he breaks his curse and can now turn into a wolf. Your dad gets bitten by Tyler, the werewolf best friend, and your Uncle Stefan leaves with Klaus after finding out that his blood is cure to werewolf bits. Klaus finds out that Elena — the doppelganger — isn't really dead, leading him to bring Stefan and his undaggered sister back to Mystic Falls, compels Stefan to not only feed from Elena but to turn his humanity off. Then, your boyfriend can see his dead ex-girlfriend and the girl that stalked him around town, and the witch you were friends with has a crush on your boyfriend."

"Ex-boyfriend."

"Okay, ex-boyfriend. Then, Dylan, the guy your turned into a vampire because you were in love with him, was killed by your dad, or you thought he was killed by your dad because he's up and kicking on the normal side of things. Then, Kol, the best friend, is finally undaggered and you are reunited with him, only for multiple things to go wrong, like your dad, uncle and all of your friends trying to kill him. Then Jeremy, the hunter boyfriend, is caught by you and his sister kissing the dead stalker girl in the bathroom — gross by the way — so the two of you break up."

"And now your supposed to be dead because your life was bound to Kol's and Elena and the ex-boyfriend killed him, which ended your life. And now, here you are, stuck in a 1994 prison world with your husband because my coven summoned some dead witches to make sure you pay for helping me murder half of my family?"

"Yeah, that about sums it up."

"Huh." Kai nods before the two sit in silence for a few moments, "So, can I have some of your magic?"

Anastasia rolls her eyes, holding her hand out for her husband to siphon some of her magic, "This isn't going to be an everyday thing."

"Of course not." He agreed, tilting his head to the side, "Wanna see if we can find a way to get out of here?"

"Hell yeah."

𝐓wo months had passed since Anastasia was put in the prison world with Kai and the two of them had been looking for ways to get themselves out, but each time they came back empty handed.

And since then, the hybrid had been traveling to different states with Kai just to grab clothes and occupy themselves before they decided to stay in Mystic Falls, taking up residence in the Salvatore Boarding house.

Currently, Anastasia had a half empty bottle of bourbon in her hand as she danced around the living room to whatever trashy nineties song was playing on the radio.

"Dude!" Anastasia spins around as the music abruptly stops, a pout on her lips as she watches Kai swing the now unplugged cord in his hand, "Kai, I was listening to that."

"I have good news and bad news." He tells her, dropping the cord and walking over to take the bottle out of her hand, cringing at the strong taste as he sips from the bottle, "Ugh, I don't see how you drink that."

"I've been alive for longer than you have, you become accustomed to some things." She said, "S, what's the good and bad news?"

"Good news, I found a way out of here." Kai tells her and she almost breaks her neck at how quickly she turned to look at him, "But the bad news? We have to have Bennett blood."

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Anastasia groaned, throwing her head back, "Of course we need Bennett blood when we're in a fucking ghost town of a prison world, us being the only two people here."

"Wanna drink until we're drunk?" Kai asked.

"Grab a bottle and plug the radio back in."

𝐒tanding in the middle of the bedroom that once belonged to her dad, Anastasia could feel the tears rolling down her face and the anger bubbling in her veins as she lets out an ear shattering scream before throwing and breaking anything she could get her hands on.

"I was waiting for you to break and destroy everything." Kai leans against the doorway of the room as she smashed a photo of her and her dad when she was younger and they were both human.

"I've had four months to look back on everything that's happened since I got back into Mystic Falls, and all goes back to him. I mean, we were perfectly fine before he came back and things went to hell. Leave it to the Salvatores' to fuck everything up and put people in danger." She wipes the tears from her face, "I should've left the moment both he and Uncle Stefan made history repeat itself and they both caught feelings for Elena. Maybe I wouldn't be dead. Hell, maybe I should've turned my own humanity off."

Kai smirked, "What's stopping you?"

She looks over at him, eyebrows pinched together, "What are you talking about?"

"Think about it. What if we are able to get out of here? Don't you want revenge on what they did to you? Natty, they killed you!" Kai tells his wife.

Anastasia looks at the boy leaning against the doorway before she tilts her head to the side, "What's in it for you? I'm old, not stupid, Mal."

"When the time comes for us to get out of this damn place, I'll have my wife back." Kai moves closer to her, bringing his hands up to cup her face, "The wife that helped me end the lives of most of my family. You turned it off once, what's stopping you from doing it again?"

The hybrid stares into the eyes of her husband, a smirk plastered across his face as he watches the little sparkle she had left in her beautiful green eyes slowly face away, becoming a darker and more dull color.

"There she is." Kai smiles widely as he brings his forehead to rest against hers, "There's the Anastasia that I know and love."
