"tell me who the boss is"

"How the fuck should I know" Clara snapped.

"Don't act all innocent. You're going to tell me everything I asked for or I'll send Vincent in here"

"I'm sooo scared. Did you not see I killed at least 3 of your men, and injured plenty more" Clara replied.

"Very well. I'll send him in. Little warning he's a rapist" the man said.

Clara paused. No she wasn't going to let a man do anything to her but she sure wasn't going to be threatened into giving away information.

"In that case why don't you untie me. Let me kill him" she said knowing she could.

"You know what it would be quite fun to watch. You're too weak to escape anyway " he said and untied her.

Clara struggled to stand. She was in alot of pain and everything was hurting. She wouldn't let this guy win. She was fueled by anger and that anger was going to keep her alive. Worst case scenario she gave them false information but she knew they would check it and when it came up false she was dead. She knew once she gave information she'd be dead. She knew this man was using Vincent as a last resort but she figured she could take him before he even called for Vincent.

She lunged at the man. She got in several punches before he pushed her off. He definitely had a few broken ribs and a broken nose now.

"Who is the boss" he demanded again as he punched her.

"You seem to have an obsession. Have you tried therapy" she said and pushed him away.

"Fuck you, you little bitch" the man snapped and delivered more punches to her.

"Tell me what I want to know. This is your last chance. Who is the boss"

"I have no idea." she replied.

"Turn around, you're looking at him" his voice was terrifying. It made the man shake as he turned round.

Clara looked up to see Damon. He didn't have a mask covering his face so she could see how angry he was.

"Mr Russo" the man shakily said.

"The one and only. Don't try to call your men they are dead" Damon casually said as he walked down the steps of the basement.

His shirt covered in blood spatter. He had just murdered 20 men. He had no time to kill them slowly. He wasn't going to let any of them escape and become a threat to Clara later on. He had a look in his eyes, a deadly look that made you wonder how many people he had killed and then when you looked at his deadly expression, you realised he'd probably lost count.

In that moment damon really did live up to the teasing name of 'demon'. He had a murderous glint, everything about him would make you want to run for your lives but the way he spoke would have you obeying his every word.

He was cruel and sadistic. You couldn't escape him though because once he made you his enemy, he'd hunt you down no matter where you were.

"You're here" Clara whispered. She hoped he didn't think she was a traitor and decide to lock her up again. She was terrified of him right now but any sane person would be. In fact she had seen him angry at her, she had seen him kill Stephanie but his anger on those occasions was nothing  compared to right now.

"You knew and you kept it from me for him? You were going to let Vincent use you for him" the man laughed.

"We both know I'd have killed Vincent"  Clara said.

And it was true. The man knew she would have no trouble killing the man if it wasn't for her blood loss. He thought she was a lot weaker but his broken ribs and nose suggested he was wrong.

And Clara although weak, she was fueled on anger for these men and wanted the chance to kill this unknown man before he got Vincent in the room. But even if he did get Vincent in the room, she was planning on killing him.

"I don't have time for chatting. Why do you want to know who I am? Who do you work for?" Damon said as he stalked towards the man.

The man laughed again "the rumours were true then. Damon Russo is the mafia boss" he sounded like he'd gone insane.

"You know what I don't have time" he said and walked forward to the man. He stabbed the man. He wanted to torture him but he wanted him dead now.

"Why didn't you let me do that" Clara asked.

His focus returned to Clara who was clearly running on adrenaline.

"What did they want from you" he asked as he removed his shirt. Yes it was bloody but he figured it was better than a top that was going to fall apart any second.

And he refused to let anyone see her like that.

"Information on your bases, your security system and who you were" she replied greatful for his shirt. She may or may not have glanced at his toned body. His muscles and abs, tattoos on his arms , a few scars from injuries on his abs that made him look more dangerous.

"You should have given them the information" Damon found himself saying. Never in his life would he have told someone that. But he hated the thought she was tortured because she wouldn't give up information.

"You don't really think that" she replied knowing how he treated traitors.

"I could easily change my security systems. No one would believe it's me and even if they did the police formally stated it wasn't me" he said.

"But then I'd be the security risk" she replied.

"That maybe so but I rather you give them information then be tortured. I don't want you to ever suffer because of information about me" he suprised himself yet again. He expected all members of the mafia to keep information to themselves. The mole who had leaked information was going to be killed.

But he knew if Clara leaked information he wouldn't kill her. He'd fix things. He couldn't be seen as weak so he wouldn't even tell anyone. He'd quietly sort it out and pretend it never happened.

He couldn't stand to see her in pain though. He would give up as much information as needed if it meant she was unharmed.

"There's this man Vincent he needs to be killed" Clara muttered as she felt herself grow tired.

"Yes I killed him before coming in here" Damon said and quickly reached out to catch her as fell. The man seemed to have an ego and when Damon had asked who he was, the man had proudly given his name.

He picked her up and carried her out. Mason and Callum were currently burning the bodies of Damon's victims. They insisted on not letting him get her on his own but by the time they got there Damon was so full of rage he killed them all so Callum and Mason were on clean up duty.

"Take the car. We'll finish up here" Mason said when he saw Clara.

Damon nodded "I'll send someone with  a car when I get back " he said. He knew the whole place had to be destroyed so he knew they'd be a while. They also need to run fingerprints on the bodies for identification before burning them and looking for anything that could be useful.

His focus was now on Clara. He trusted Mason and Callum to finish cleaning up.
