Chapter 3

If I pray really tight, Get into a fake bar fight,

"What are you trying to say Tyler?" I say as I look up at my boyfriend, he's sitting on the chair that is placed in front of my desk looking at me intently with a broad smile on his face.

"Elena, I was thinking about taking you away for a weekend, me, you, alone for a whole weekend." Tyler says with that sexy seductive smile I love so much, I cannot help but smile at him. I approved of this idea whole heartedly. Okay this was a move up from a dinner date and a night out from drinking and making out. Okay I was grinning like an idiot probably as I looked to him, he had actually came over to my office this morning to bring me some breakfast, which I haven't even touched yet.

"I would love to. When and where?" I ask as I take a piece of crispy beacon from the plate, bringing it to my mouth. Taking a small bite.

"I was planning on taking you to our family house down at the lake in about 3 weeks' time when the weather picks up a bit more." Tyler says as he places his hand behind his heads smiling devilishly. I had made some advances on him the past few days and I think he finally noticed and he knew that I wanted more than just his kisses. Because our relationship would only last so long on kisses and make-out sessions.

"Family lake house?" I ask with a shy smile and Tyler nods his head. "Promise it will only be the two of us?" I ask and at this he winks at me making me blush a beet red. There was possible potential in this trip to get to know each other a little more intimately. I smile at that.

"Only me and you baby…" Tyler says as he rises to his feet and he moves closer to place a soft kiss to my lips. I hope I would be getting more than just soft kisses from him or there would definitely be trouble. I kiss him back and then he pulls away taking the remaining piece of the beacon that I was holding between my fingers and eating it. I gasp as I watch him, but he only winks to me again.

Before I could say anything else about him stealing my beacon, I hear the pitter patter of heels against the floor moving fast towards my office and then without any notice I watch as Bonnie throws open the door, she looks beyond terrified, and shocked as she pants in my door way, trying very hard to catch her breath.

"Bonnie?" Both I and Tyler say in union as we look at her in confusion.

"Elena, your patient…" She trials of as she tries to catch her breath still panting like a crazy person.

"What?" I ask not quite sure what she means until realization kicks in. Today was the 1st of March… Damon Salvatore would be arriving today… And here I was sitting having breakfast with my boyfriend. What if something happened? But clearly something had already happened.

"Elena, he's here and there was some complications getting him out of the transporting vehicle." She manages to say. I rise to my feet. How could I forget that my patient would be arriving today? I look to Tyler and giving him a sheepish look. "There is blood everywhere." At this Tyler rises to his feet, he seems truly worried as he looks between us.

"What?" I yell as I start to make my way towards the door, Tyler soon on my trail with Bonnie behind him. "Where is he now?" I ask as the two of them following me down the hall taking long strides to keep up with me.

"Alaric had to shoot him with a tranquilizer," Bonnie breaths out. I feel Tyler's hand on my arms as he stops me and I turn towards him with a surprised look on my face.

"Elena." I look away from him for a few seconds before looking back towards him, his eyes seem wild as he searches mine. He seemed to be rather worried about me.

"It's okay Tyler. We have it under control but I think you should probably leave now." I say giving him a rather apologetic look but it's true I could get in a lot of trouble if something happened to Tyler. He frowns for a second but nods his head, completely understanding, before leaning in and placing his lips to my cheek, and a whisper of a sweet 'goodbye, miss you'. I watch as he starts to make his way to the main entrance of the building. I start to walk again. Bonnie now at my side. "What happened?" I ask more seriously as we turn a corner and make our way to the west wing.

"When they arrived, one of the officers unlocked the transporting van and the patient didn't want to move or come out so the second officer came and they tried to force him out of the van when everything just went to hell, the patient strangled one officer and took a bite out of the others officers face." I stop dead in my tracks. What the fuck just happened? Did he just do what I think he did?

"So Ric shot him?" I ask and Bonnie nods her head, she looks beyond terrified, it must be the first time that she has ever seen a patient act out like that. But I mean I haven't really seen a patient act out like that since I started to work at the hospital. It was very rare. Klaus always had the ones that didn't want to sit still, or they didn't want to drink their medication. Or they just didn't want people touching them or go near them.

We start to walk again this time only the noise of our heels clicking against the floor can be heard. I figured that they would take the patient to his cell while the officers would be in the infirmary. I look to Bonnie as we stop outside of the cell block where we would be keeping the patient.

"You should go check on the officers. I'll check on the patient." I say and Bonnie gives me this disapproving look.

"You can't see him alone. Who knows what he would do to you?" Bonnie says but I shake my head, I'm sure Ric is down here as well watching him like a hawk. Just as John opens the cell block door Ric comes into view and he has a disapproving look on his face as he sees us. Well rather me that is.

"Go Bonnie." I command as I start to make my way towards Ric, John closing the cell door before Bonnie even had a chance to follow me. Ric was still mad at me for accepting the case but as I said before it's not like the patient would be here for a long time and we are doing it to improve the hospital. I was not doing this for myself and he needed to understand that. I walk up to Ric, he just shakes his head from side to side. "Well hello to you too, Alaric." I say as I start to move past him.

"Morning Elena." Ric grumbles as he starts to follow me.

"Is he still unconscious?" I ask as I almost reach his cell.

"He should be." Ric says a bit unsure. I stop in front of the cell and just as I was about to pear into his cell, I see crystal blue eyes staring back at me. I gasp as I take a step back in surprise. Ric said he should still be unconscious, but he's standing right in front of his cell door staring at me. His eyes staring right into mine. I could understand why they would call him the angel of death, his facial features was rather remarkable and handsome, but I would rather compare him to a Greek God then an Angel.

I glance over his face, he had a strong jaw line with some five o' clock shadow and his raven hair was messy. His mouth was still stained with the reminisce of blood of the officer he bit into. That poor officer. "Mr. Salvatore, I am Dr. Elena Gilbert I will be your Psychiatrist during your stay at the hospital." I say, he remains completely still as he looks at me, I feel slightly intimidated by his stare it almost leaves me speechless. But he remains utterly quiet. I look to Ric who just gives me a shrug. I look back to him. "Seeing as this is your first day I will let you get settled in and I will see you first thing tomorrow morning." I say but still he just keeps staring at me. Everything seemed to be fine, and I didn't have anything else to add.

I turn on my heel and was about to start to walk away when I hear him. "Tomorrow then." I want to turn back towards him, to make sure I wasn't hearing voices but then again I didn't want to give him the satisfaction to see that affected me in any way. I glance to Ric and we start to make our way towards the main building just stopping for John to open the cell gate.

"Elena I still can't believe you accepted him." Ric starts up and I swear that is all he has been telling me for the past two weeks non-stop.

"Ric…"I start as I turn towards him with a fake smile on my lips. "I told you that I am doing this for the hospital." I continue as we start to walk toward the main building. I was just planning on going back to my office, finish my breakfast and then working on my notes on the patient, I had some new information and facts I needed to note.

"He tore a piece of the guy's face of and tried to choke the other one to death Elena." He says with urgency in his voice. I knew I wasn't there, I didn't witness what had happened and I would not be scared like most of our staff now are but still I had a job to do and I could not just send him back now, or they would stop all renovations and improvement to the hospital or they might even refuse to pay for the work that has been done. Then we would be in big trouble.

"Ric, please. We had this conversation before." I say glaring right at him and he sighs.

"We'll at least when you schedule your sessions with him have someone with you." Ric counters, I know he only cares about me and my well-being but I needed to do this, I needed to do the evaluation and I needed to unrifled and decipher what was in his mind if he gave me that opportunity. But I doubt that he participate in anything that I had to say or do.

"We'll see." I say as I reach my office. Ric just shakes his head as he turns on his heel and he starts to walk down to his office. He should know that I would be strictly professional when it came to my patients and I mean we were taking precautions for the patient to be here at the hospital. So he need not worry about anything. I walk into my office and move back towards my chair where I had sat moments ago before myself and Tyler were so rudely interrupted.

I look at my plate of food that Tyler brought me, but I wasn't hungry anymore, neither did I like cold food and I was too lazy to walk all the way down to the lounge to warm up my food. I push it to the side and I pull Salvatore's file towards me opening it up on all my scribbles and doodles.

First impression? Besides the fact that he almost ate an officer's face and tried to strange another? I feel terrified, I feel rather sad that Dr. Bennet and Alaric had to witness the patients' violent side. But the patient was non-responsive when I introduced myself. He's rather attractive, I can see how females could fall prey to him. He might not need to lure his victim away but he might seduce them into doing what he wants.

Patient shows signs that he does not want to co-operate. Initial session will be conducted tomorrow morning 09:00. Today I will monitor his behaviour. I sign of and look to the case file again. It must seem he highly dislikes males, due to his violent behaviour towards them. I really need to look into that. Might it be something in his past that made him dislike men, could he have been abused by a male maybe his father or other family members? Something about his eyes sent chills down my spine, I could not decide whether I was frightened or terrified by how he stared at me.

His stare was beyond intimidating. When I approach him tomorrow I must make sure I make a good first impression. I must not let him get to me. I might need to take further security precautions for our session then I had originally planned. I didn't want him to be handcuffed because he can just as easily choke me with the chain like he did the officer who brought him in. I might request a straitjacket but I wasn't too sure how he would respond to it.

I wasn't sure how he would respond to any of my tactics. I sigh, I would need to really think this through. I really didn't expect that he would be this hostile from the beginning but I could understand why. I would just need to monitor him for today before I just jump in head first tomorrow.

I write some more notes before I make a turn in the infirmary to check up on the two officers to see if it was as bad as I thought and it was worse than I thought. The gentleman who was strangled had blueish black finger prints around his neck. And the man who was bitten was now currently in the ICU. Dr. Olivia has given me the full details and extent of the damage that had been inflicted. I wasn't sure how we were going to explain this to the officers' families to what had happened and how we let it happen.

It rather frightened me that my patient would go to this extend. That he would injure others. I would need more precautions than anything else when I saw Damon. I continued to watch him from a distance as they moved him from his cell to the bathrooms to ensure that he got cleaned. He was still covered in the officer's blood from this morning. I didn't go in but Klaus and Ric kept their eyes on him the entire time. I watched how he entered the bathroom completely covered in blood and come out clear and clean.

I watched how they escorted him to the room he would eat in and how they insured that he was locked in place. He was seated on the other side of the two way mirror that I was behind of. His head hung low as Klaus brought in his meal towards the table. I watched as he reaches for his spork and played around with the macaroni and cheese that was placed in front of him.

He glanced up and towards the glass and it almost feels like he was looking at me, but that couldn't be, there was no way he knew I even sat on the other side of the two way mirror. He looks back to his food then at Ric who is at the door and Klaus who remains seated in front of him. He doesn't make any effort to speak to either of the men in the room and he remains completely calm as he plays with the food.

He might not have an appetite, due to his transfer or other reasons, I will have to follow up on that. His nonchalant attitude towards the two men in the room seems strange as well, they might not seem as a threat to him thus he does not lash out towards them or maybe he's just being restrained the right way. I would need to restrain him for the first few session that I would have with him.

I wonder if he was going to continue being quiet with our sessions as well, if he wasn't going to say something then I don't see any use for our sessions. I watch him closely as he takes a piece of macaroni to his mouth, he stares at it for a few second like he's examining it, testing it's smell before taking a bite. He chews slowly, I watch as the muscles in his jaw move, the movement are as if he is tasting everything the piece of macaroni has to offer and then he swallows it slowly, I watch the movement of his throat as he does this. He had a rather lovely throat, his adams apple standing out.

As if he knows I am staring at him through the glass, he looks towards me again, and I swear his eyes meet mine for a mere second before his attention is back on the food, he seriously isn't hungry or he dislikes the food we had given him. He pushes the plate forward on the table and then looks to Klaus, but the look only lasts a few seconds, his attention was drawn to something else immediately, to the window, to where I was sitting in the other room.

"Are you finished with your lunch?" I hear Klaus asks politely not rude in any way, I see he was being rather careful around my patient but my patient remains silent as he stares towards the mirror. Klaus waits a while longer before he decides to takes the plate from him and he rises to his feet to dispose of the plate and untouched cup, thus leaving my patient alone in the room with Ric. I watch closely, to see if he might try anything, now that he's alone with him.

He doesn't even move, he continues to stare at the mirror, or did he know it's a two way mirror and that I was on the other side? I highly doubt that. It feels like his eyes are burning into mine. A few minutes pass like this as we just continue to stare at each other until Klaus returns and Ric finally makes a move towards my patient, unlocking him from the restrains on the table. Ric makes sure not to touch him in any way, I would need to ask Ric why he does that, as he steps aside my patient rises to his feet and he starts to make his way towards the door following Klaus, breaking all and any eye contact that he had with me.

I sigh, I felt uncomfortable under the scrutiny of his eyes, yet I knew that he could not see me, I would need to talk to both Ric and Klaus, see what their opinions are, and their first impression of my patient, I already felt like I knew what Ric would say. But I needed to look at this case from every angle I could. All perspectives that I was allowed to have. I didn't want to end up making the wrong decision with this one. After they leave I exit the room and head back to my office.

I move back to my office silently, my thoughts running around like free horses in a field, I ensure that I note that he still remains silent, unresponsive, and I note that he was rather calm among Ric and Klaus. He only displayed hostility towards people who used force on him, thus my theory on abuse was still relevant. I note his lack of appetite as well. I pick up the phone and I phone the nurses station in the main building, I needed to observe this because it might play a role in his behaviour as well. I could not leave any stones unturned with this patient.

"Nurse Vicki speaking," I hear from the other side of the phone, Vicki was a new nurse straight out of college. I highly doubt she knew what to do and what was expected of her but I know that she would do what I ask of her.

"Vicki, this is Doctor Gilbert, I need to ask you a favour. Please ensure that they make notes on whether the new patient Damon Salvatore continues to have a lack of appetite for me. Just check tonight and tomorrow morning during his dinner and breakfast for me?" I say as I look over my notes yet again.

"Sure Dr. Gilbert." Vicki says. "Anything else you would like to have me do?" she asks, her tone doesn't sound serious as she speaks to me over the phone.

"Currently on what medication is he?" I ask and I hear her move around before there are some shuffling of paper and then she sighs.

"Well he's on 5mg of Leximal, 10 mg of Prozac, and 35mg of Alchergea." I frown because she doesn't even know how to pronounce the medication that she had just said, why would they put him on anti-depressants, calming tables and such a strong sleeping tablet? It didn't really make any sense.

"Don't give him any medication until I have had a chance to examine him." I reply because I would rather not waste drugs on him that shouldn't be prescribed to him in the first place. I hear her answer with a simple 'okay' before dropping the phone. I hope she does what I ask of her because things usually seem to slip her mind. But I make a note that I tasked her.

Damon Salvatore, I wasn't one step closer to knowing who he was or why he had done what he had done. I had searched the internet countless of times but everything I found of him was irrelevant. Or they were just old newspaper articles and clippings from his trial. I could not find anything regarding Damon since before he started going on his killing spree. It's like he appeared out of nowhere. Without a trace.

Still I had a theory that he was using a false identity to cover up who he really was. It was seeming more likely now. I would need to ask him about that during one of our session but whether or not he would answer would be another thing. I look up to my door and furrow my brows as I watch Klaus make his way towards me, he had that sadistic expression on his face again. But he couldn't really help it, it was just how his face looked.

"Elena," he greets as he enters my office and he walks straight to the chair in front of my desk. I give him a smile as he takes a seat in return.

"Klaus, to what do I owe the pleasure?" I ask as I close the Salvatore case file. Klaus relaxes back into the chair and rests his head on the back looking up at the ceiling. He almost seems relaxed as he sits there, I think he even dare closes his eyes for a few seconds.

"I doubt that you're going to get anything out of that man." Klaus says placing his hands behind his head to support his neck and I place my hands on the table slightly fidgeting with my fingers, it was just something I did when I had a bad feeling about something, and it was quite hard not having a bad feeling about Salvatore.

"I saw how unresponsive he was during lunch." I reply making it known that I had viewed the whole ordeal. I rarely kept secrets from Klaus in any case, he always seemed to know when I lie so I had given it up.

"If I were you, I would be extra careful around that one." Klaus continues to stare as he looks at my ceiling and I wonder briefly why he's so caring all of the sudden about my well-being. Well I know the other staff members didn't want Salvatore here because they feared for their lives but still we had no other option or at least that's what I tell myself to go to sleep at night. "Here is my first impression of your patient, I think he's a sociopath, the murders are most likely due to the fact that he has maybe suffered mental trauma during his life thus he's acting out in the only why he knows and sees fit to handle it." Klaus says and I frown. That was rather a strong statement coming from him.

"You think it's a mental problem?" I ask and Klaus finally sits up to look towards me nodding his head, normally Klaus was good with these types of things, pretty spot on. So I would believe him and his analysis of my patient, it was always good to get others opinion about a subject as well.

"Definitely. The murders seem to be spur of the moment, not planned and they must be triggered by something, like with the incident this morning, as soon as the guards started using force he resisted and then his behaviour started to turn, yet again he could have done this on purpose as to anger himself and act out like that. I think that's what you need to figure out. Is his action due to the fact that we used force on him or due to the fact that he was unwilling to do as he was told thus we needed to enforce force towards him leading him to act out." Klaus says and I nod my head, it was a rather good observation and a relevant statement that I surely needed to take into consideration. It's like someone who drinks, is he an occasional drinker who drinks only at certain events or does he go out and look for a reason so that he can drink.

"Well I still have to evaluate him, even thou you are certain it's a mental thing." I say, looking towards him with a worried expression on my face. He knows I do not want to do this anymore then he wants to see me do this. "You know if I do the evaluation and it is a mental disorder, he's going to stay here at the hospital." I say, Klaus instantly looks at me. I think he only realised that now, if it was a mental disorder, we will be held accountable for him

"That's why I say be careful." Klaus replies, I run my hands over my arms in a way to calm my nerves because now it's all that was running around in my head. If I do find a problem with him he will become our problem.

"I just wonder why he didn't get the death penalty. I mean it would be more relevant than what he was sentenced to." I finally say raising my opinion that has been supressed since they sentenced him a few months prior, at this Klaus sits up straight in his chair.

"That's actually pretty funny. I would have thought the death penalty as well. I'm not really sure what that judge was thinking and whether she was thinking at all."

"If it was a woman I can understand why." I find myself saying and Klaus just raised an eyebrow at me. He knows just as well as I how appealing Salvatore's good looks were, he could have seduced the judge in one way or another to lighten the sentence yet, the sentence that he did receive was rather brutal.

"Just don't let his charming good looks hamper your ability to evaluate him." Klaus says as he looks to the side of my computer to the picture of myself and Tyler and he smiles, he was actually very pleased that I was finally with someone, he started to think that I was married to my jobs, which was never the case.

"Honestly Klaus, I noticed he kept on staring at the two way mirror while he was eating lunch. I find that extremely weird because he was staring right at me. It felt like he knew I was there, studying him and his every move that he made, don't you find that rather strange?" I say, Klaus chuckles humourlessly as he shakes his head. Clearly he's not as worried as I am about the whole situation

"Maybe you are imagining things." Klaus said. Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't. I could not be sure. "When does your session start with him?" Klaus asks.

"Tomorrow at 09:00. I have him for an hour." I reply looking towards the picture of myself and Tyler again. I smile softly at myself remembering the promise to spend some quality time with him but then I am reminded of my patient who will probably take up most of my attention in the coming week's even months until his evaluation was finalized.

"Want me to sit in?" Klaus asks and I find the gesture rather sweet but I shake my head from side to side.

"No, I'll be fine." I decline with a soft smile and he nods his head toward me. I was a good doctor, I could handle myself, I didn't need Klaus hovering over my shoulder and watching my session, beside it was rather clear that my patient dislikes males and I didn't know how he would react if I had a male sitting in on our sessions. I was going to be okay.
