Disclaimer: I love Vampire Diaries and don't mean to have any trouble with this I just really love Damon. He is all the CW plaything not mine.

"What are you doing to me?" Damon asks he justs want to know what type of pain to expect he doesn't actually want to know.

The good doctor doesn't answer instead grins and takes a needle to his arm. Damon feels the needle prick his skin it is minor in pain. In comparison to the fiery pain of what comes next. He feels the vein die in his arm only to heal and continue to pump the vervain through his body. The process repeats until it reaches his heart, he feels the heart muscles expand with the vervain drip.

It is slowly eating away at him but he knows today has only just begun, the day is still young and the other vampires are on the table next to him. He is the oldest, a newbie and a 70 year old vampire are on either side of him.

He looks to the good doctor and see the other lab techs are wheeling away the other vampires and he too is moving into an operating room. They keep them awake when they want to experiment it is sadistic. He sees that the good doctor is laying out his tools for today's fun. The room is sterile he knows he is as white as a sheet. It has been a while since they fed him more than enough to heal.

He saw the scalpel raised over him the doctor looks at him for a second as if to see that the vervain is keeping him here. He is still here strapped down to the table and called don't call him by his given name the pain can wipe away things. He remembers it though he has carved his initials into the cell wall that he has lived in since 1953. He wanted to never forget who he was; he hasn't turned off his humanity yet.

Dr. Jekyll plunged the scalpel into his chest and scraped from his sternum down to his naval. Then when he was done with his cut and Damon was done cursing to high heaven he noticed that the doctor was timing it. The Doctor was timing how fast his skin closed.

"Your healing property is getting slower 21051 I think that my task is too much for today," the Doctor falsely sympathized with the monster strapped to his table.

"It an anniversary of sorts today 21051 you see it has been 2 years since the day you came under my care," the Doctor carried on without expecting a response from the vampire strapped down.

The doctor stopped the IV he didn't want to kill his lab rat there was still so much use in him. He pulled out the needle and rolled the vervain drip off the stand attached to the gurney. He pulled the rib spreader from it's strap for safe keeping and the forceps out as well.

"21051 there is this new technique we developed from the experiments with you, it is called chest wiring. There is a problem apparently with it. Do you have any guesses as to what were going to do today?"

"Watch Leave it to Beaver at 4?" Damon asked because he really didn't want to have his ribs spread and his sternum played with it was amazing what you learn while a lab rat.

"Oh no were going to see if Doctors are incompetent when wiring a sternum closed or is it just that only a vampire can take the procedures and humans can't? We are advancing medical science 21051."

"Oh how fun," Damon weakly spoke after lifting his head up from the slab and then having it slam down on the table because he was exhausted.

The vervain was gone so he could stop jerking about from pain but he was still weak. He saw the Doctor placing tools on the tray and wheel them over to the side of his gurney. The tools he knew the procedure as they called it, was agonizing it never stopped hurting less, you just raised your pain tolerance a little more. His vervain tolerance was higher but it still hurt he had an IV now after 2 years only because he was passed the vervain shots keeping him week unless he was being taking out of his cell.

"You know I never really get tired of my little fun with you because you are probably the most fun, you talk back. The others they just scream you have spite and that is what makes it seem... more than…like you can't shut-up. Even after 2 years 21051 your still not turning off those emotions, normally vampires flip it when they here they've been here a while." The doctor raised the scalpel and cut his chest open.

The scalpel moved like it was cutting butter and not skin that was over a hundred years undead. The room was blurring because his eyes were watering from the pain, he refused to let the tears fall, though he knew it would be too much in a few minutes.

"You know 21051 we could do the next part two ways I could make the clean break or I could just smash the bones and then we do the spreading."

"I have it we do dealer choice today go get a dealer I'll wait here," Damon grinned and was expecting the next part it came because the scientist always like the clean break easier to wire.

"I have a better one we go with the nice big hammer you know I borrowed this from a plastic surgeon they break noses with it and then reset it to make the nose prettier," the Doctor grinned as he raised the hammer and chisel.

"Oh so your going to tell me that story again," Damon rolled his eyes the only faculty he could really move as of right now that wouldn't make him pass out.

"It's a good," the Doctor grunted, "story." He broke the first set of ribs around the sternum and got a grunt from his subject.

"You really should ask me out on a date if you want to continue this way," Damon choked out through gritted teeth he gasped when he felt the last rib crack.

"I believe that is how you ended up in this situation or is vampire culture different in that sucking someone blood is not considered a date," the good Doctor grinned.

"Oh no it's considered one I just would rather have a human one," Damon grimaced as the sternum bones was taken out.

The doctor always liked this part, because the heart was undead beating inside the pericardium dark unoxygenated blood pumping through. The lungs working and yet the vampire did not breathe 21051 was so interesting.

"I don't think you can," the doctor placed the sternum in the saline bucket then went to get the sterile wire leaving the room.

A/N This was just because I couldn't wait until Dec. 5 I mean come on he never gets hurt for a long period of time my imagination is running away with me. I have a question did you think the doctor was male or female? (there are no clues to gender)
