Broken Walls (The Vampire Diaries - Enzo fanfiction)

Apple Cider

I walked along the path with Christopher as I showed him around.

"And this is the school. I've never been here apart from my birthday and it seems pretty cool." I explained.

"Mystic Falls is great."

"Why did you move here anyway? I can tell you're not from America by the accent."

"I just wanted to find a place far from home to settle down." he said as we neared a park. "Maybe one day find someone to be with, have kids, grow old. You know..."

I smiled. That's exactly what I wanted, but couldn't have.

"Well, I'm sure you'll get that one day."

He smiled at me before reaching in his pocket, wincing and pulling his hand back out quickly.

"Are you okay?" I asked. He hand his finder with his other hand to reveal blood seeping out of it. My eyes widened slightly.

"I must have caught it on something."

"...Looks pretty bad..." I gulped. I kept staring at the blood as I tried to hold in my thirst.

He looked at me with a small smirk forming. "You okay?"

"Yeah... I, err... I'm just not a big fan of blood. Makes me queasy." I lied, trying to look away from his bleeding wound.

"Sorry." he said, cleaning it up. "I think the bleeding's stopped now anyway."

I nodded. "Yeah."

"Let me treat you to a drink." he offered with a gleaming smile.

"Oh, no. You don't have to-"

"I'm not taking no for an answer."

I sighed giving in. "If you insist."

Enzo's P.O.V.

"So I've been thinking." Damon said, coming into the living room. "Tilly's new friend, Christopher, he sounds familiar."

"There are lots of people called Christopher."

"Yeah, I know. But he mentioned something about him having an accent. An Irish accent."

"Yes...?" I trailed. He just stared at my like I was stupid. "Is this going to take all day? I'm getting bored."

"When we were locked up in that cell there was this guy who brought his son along with him."

"Little Chris."

"I think he's all grown up now." Damon growled.

*Flashback*

I sighed, throwing a small rock up and down with my dirty hands as it hit the crumbling ceiling ever so often. Damon was currently taken from his cell to be experimented on and I was able to hear his screams however I was used to it. It didn't affect me whatsoever. I kept throwing the rock up and down when I hurt a soft noise. I slowly looked up to see a young boy around 6 years old standing at the other side of my cell. I put the rock down.

"Why are you in here?" he asked with a clear Irish accent.

"Because I am known as a ''danger to this world''." I answered bluntly.

"Why?"

"Because I like to drink blood."

"Yuck!" the boy exclaimed. I slowly crawled over to him.

"Who are you?"

"Christopher. My mum let me visit my dad for Christmas. But then I have to go back home to Ireland. He told me to wait in this room but I got bored."

I nodded at his answer.

"It's really scary there." he continued.

"And why's that?"

"Someone's screaming."

Why would someone bring their own son to this place. That's more than evil. That's disgusting.

I soon heard a heavy door open then close and feet moving in towards us. In came Damon with Danny, the dissector. He then shoved Damon inside his cell making him harshly fall to the ground before noticing his son.

"Christopher. I thought I told you to wait in the other room." he said, walking up to him.

"I got bored. And I didn't like the screaming."

"No, no, son. They were good screams." he spoke. Damon looked at me.

"Good screams?"

"Yeah. That means that you're doing your job right. Those screams are the future. And you're in it.

"But it's scary."

"Not scary, son. Science."

"Don't listen to your father, mate. He's a liar." I growled. Danny glared at me as he took Christopher's hand.

"Let's go."

He then dragged him away by the hand as Christopher looked back at me. He waved before being pulled back around and out of the door.

*End of Flashback*

Christopher's P.O.V.

"I feel guilty with you spending all your money on me." Tilly said.

"You showed me around. It's the least I could do." I smiled, getting up and walking over to the bar. "An apple cider and a beer please."

The bartender nodded and got my drinks for me as I paid him. I took a sip of my beer before discretely taking a small bottle out from my inside pocket and pouring it into the apple cider. I put the bottle away before walking over to the table we were sitting on.

"One apple cider." I smiled, passing it to Tilly.

She smiled back, taking the drink in her hand. I took another sip of my beer as my eyes didn't remove from her. I watched as she drank some of drink before quickly spitting it out and gasping for air. I smirked as I watched her cough in pain. With that, I took a needle out and injected her arm as her eyes widened before she slowly went unconscious.

"Vervain. Never fails." I smirked, taking her in my arms an walking out of the bar.
