A Kind Girl

Whitmore

3rd person's pov

Damon woke up early ready to visit Whitmore. He met Elijah outside one of the college buildings. It was quiet early and no one was around. Elijah knew very little detail about what he was doing there. Ellie asked him a favor. She did not want her dad to be alone. She probably does not know it yet ,but Elijah will do anything she asks.

They walked into one old building. Damon stayed silent the whole time, just walking. They ended up at a locked basement door. Damon opened it with his vampire strength. It was empty. Damon looked in a daze as he walked through.

They stood outside a cell and found an unconscious vampire tied up, looking bloody.

"Enzo?"

Damon feels his whole world turned upside down. He thought Enzo had died. Why was he not here earlier?

"Who is this?" Elijah was confused and conflicted. He can assume that Damon knew this man and this place.

"He was my....friend. We were tortured together. One day, we tried to escape. I thought he died that day. I turned my humanity off until I met Ellie."

Elijah just nodded, not expecting that. He helped him carry Enzo to the car. They quickly set the building on fire before leaving to Mystic Falls.

Damon is in disbelief. Enzo is alive. He had been tortured for over 80 years at that point. He doesn't know if Enzo will ever forgive him.

It was before the sunrise that they stopped at the house. Ellie invited the man in, seeing how her father cared for him. Damon put him in the quest bedroom and went to grab some bloodbags to help Enzo heal.

He was not expecting his day to turn into this.

"Dad. I think it is for the best that I give you two some time to talk. I will be back this afternoon."

It was for the better. He needed to explain everything to Enzo and make sure he does not hurt Ellie.

......

Elijah took Elisabeth out to a diner for breakfast. It was awkward between the two.

They sat at the back, waiting for their orders.

"Thank you for going with my dad. I probably should have told you what to expect. " Elijah nodded for her to continue as she nervously talked.

" In the 1950s, he was kidnapped and then tortured for 5 years in the Augustine society at Whitmore. He met Enzo there. They tried escaping together, but he thought Enzo was died after a fire broke out. He hasn't told me too much about what had happened in there, but he and Enzo were close. After yesterday's werewolf craziness, bad memories came up and I suggested that he goes to the old place and see that there was nothingto be scared off."

She sighed and played with a piece of her hair,"It seems like they never stopped experimenting on vampire. They are sick and twisted people. Poor Enzo. He was tortured for over 80 years now. I think my dad will feel guilty for not going earlier."

Elijah grabbed her hand to calm her.

"Everything is going to work out. Enzo is safe now."
