Forever Yours - Damon Salvatore

34 - The Cell

Amelia groaned as she awoke, blinking her eyes open slowly as she adjusted to dim light, pressing her hands against the cold floor as she sat up. Looking round, all she saw was rusted metal bars that were locked shut, and grime covered rock walls. On the wall behind her, was the smallest window that was blocked off with bars, leaving her no area of escape.

Pushing up to her feet, still feeling weak and tired, she walked up and clutched the metal bars then began to pull. She used all of her left strength, but no matter how hard she tried, they didn't budge an inch.

"MAXFLIED !" She yelled out angrily, shaking the bars to make as much noise possible "YOU BETTER LET ME OUT OF HERE, ASSHOLE !"

A deep chuckle echoed throughout the room, and Wes stepped into view from the other side of the bars, holding needle full of a clear liquid noticeably in his left hand.

"Now, now, Amelia. Kicking up a fuss isn't going to get to you anywhere"He tells her, as he pulls the cell keys from his pocket and begins to unlock the door, making her take a cautious step back "Oh, and welcome to Augustine. I can already tell, you're going to be a brilliant test subject"

The Evans girl shook her, walking back until she was pressed up against the wall, taking a deep breath "Come near me and I will end you" She warns in a low voice, taking a threatening stance to try and keep him back.

"You know, Damon threatened to end me if I went near you also" He said, chuckling once more like it was funny, still walking toward her "He's a very protective boyfriend"

That made Amelia's blood boil, knowing he had Damon locked up somewhere "Where is he ?" She growled, clenching her fists so hard her knuckles turned white.

"Oh, he's locked up and safe" He assured "For now, at least. Because of you two, and Ms Gilbert, I lost a test subject last night. You two are going to replace him"

Amelia scoffed, shaking her head "Like hell" She then rushed at him, letting her face transform and going to bite into his neck, but Wes quickly ducked and stepped to the side.

She ran straight into the bars, causing her to stumble down to the floor disorientated, so Wes took that as his chance. Bending down, he injected the needle into her neck, the clear liquid now flowing through her bloodstream. Immediately, black dots began to cloud her vision as the Vervain took effect, until she passed out.

Wes smiled wickedly, before picking up her body from the ground "Like I said, Ms Evans, you are going to make a brilliant test subject"

********

Damon let out low, yet weak growl, as Wes carried a unconscious Amelia into the room. Opening up the next cell, he placed her body down on the ground, before walking out and locking her inside. Through the small hole in the wall, which separated the couples cells, Damon could see her chest moving up and down which shot relief through him.

"I told you not to touch her" He snarled pitifully at Wes, sitting himself up and resting back against the wall, too weak to do anything else.

Wes simply shrugged "Amelia Evans is the kind of Vampire Augustine needs. She is going to make a brilliant test subject, as will you Damon. Both of you, are the perfect people to replace Jesse now he is gone"

"Just so you know, it didn't end well for the last Augustine's" Damon tells Wes, as he pulls out a notepad, jotting down what Damon is saying "You're inviting bad karma by holding me here. Also, if you think Amelia won't kill you the second she wakes up, you really are a idiot"

Wes ignored the part about Amelia, who was slowly beginning to stir awake, the Vervain wearing off "Is that what you told Dr Whitmore ?"

"Dr Whitmore wasn't much for conversation" Damon answers dryly, thinking back to his original time in Augustine "He stabbed me in the eye for talking too much, for interrupting him talking about all his experiments. So you Augustine freaks are still at it, eye exams and that sort of thing"
