Chapter 17

Baby, I'm a sociopath,
Sweet serial killer.

"Ric." I call his name quietly stepping in to his overly furnished office, he's standing next to his window looking out at the gardens like he's studying the far away plant's but he's always loved plants, well since I have known him, he enjoyed biology so much in school and I teased him for being a nerd all the time. He glances towards me and he seems surprised to see me in his office, like he didn't expect me at all, I wonder why, he was the one that wanted to speak to me after my session with Damon, so here I am, I am ready to speak and to ask him a whole lot of my own questions that was playing around in my mind, my head felt like it was going to burst in to a million pieces at the moment with all the question I had. The whole scene in the rec room had my mind totally confused. I had never seen this side of Damon before and it was… remarkable. I had no other word to describe him. How he acted so cool and calm in the situation was beyond me, I kept my eye on him the whole while and when he moved towards Enzo, I feared that Enzo would do something to harm him but I was so wrong. If I didn't know about Damon's violent past I would have thought of him as one of us, and when I say that I mean one of the doctors working here at the hospital. He was just amazing, except for the fact that he yelled at Bonnie but then again it was a stupid mistake and she should have followed up on Enzo's diagnoses. But Bonnie was never really good at paper work. Not like me. That reminded me that I still had some paper work to finish, I hadn't spent any quality time on my paper work since Damon arrived and took over my mind and my heart.

"Elena, please have a seat." He pauses after my name as he motions towards the chair in front of his desk like he usually does when I pay him a visit and I nod my head as I walk over to it and gracefully take a seat, folding my legs over each other, he soon follows sitting behind his huge desk folding his arms over his chest. "I wanted to tell you that I am sorry about the other day." Ric says and he looks apologetic as his eyes meet mine but there was something more about this simple apology, I just knew it, I have to think for a moment to remember why he was sorry in the first place and then I just nod my head reminding myself of Monday morning when he brought up Jeremy, my expression instantly changed into a sad smile. I could not stay angry at the idiot, even if I wanted to, we have been through too much to be angry over such petty remarks.

"It's okay Ric. I mean you were close to Jeremy too." I say and it doesn't even hurt as bad to say his name now, it's just a soft nudge at my heart strings. Ric nods his head and he glances down towards his desktop, there on the left bottom corner he held a picture of me and Jeremy and himself, it was taken when we just started off at college, I never look at the picture, too scared that I will end up in tears but I know it's there, it's always there, like a constant reminder of how things were. I look to the side slightly shifting in my chair to look to anything else but that damn picture. "We both miss him." I whisper.

"I know, but it was stupid of me to bring it up. I'm really sorry Elena." Ric says and I give him a pointed look before the sides of my mouth turn up into a fake smile, but a smile nether the less. "I really didn't mean to upset you in any way." Ric continues, I just nod my head, completely understanding that he didn't do it intentionally, so I couldn't keep it against him even if I wanted to.

"It's okay." I say sitting back in my chair relaxing somewhat, I look up at the ceiling for the longest moments trying to find a pattern in the paint but there was nothing, that's when I am reminded why I am here in the first place, I was angry at Ric for withholding information from me and not telling me that he actually knew Damon, in a personnel capacity. I take a deep breath and look back down towards Ric, my fake smile completely forgotten, his eyes meet mine instantly, I bite the inside of my mouth slightly, I needed to do this, I needed to talk to him and hear what he knows because this was currently the big elephant in the room. "What I am not okay with is the fact that you know my patient from a previous encounter." I say and I gag his reaction closely as I watch him, his eyes widen and then narrows before tilting his head to the side.

"What do you mean?" Ric asks and if I was closer to him I would slap him because I can clearly see that the idiot is lying to me, he was making it pretty obvious with the dumb expression he was now sporting on his face, I have known him most of my life so it was easy to tell when he was lying. This was just a slap in the face actually. I never thought he would lie straight to my face but then again nothing seems like reality nowa days.

"You and Damon? I never knew that you were mutual drinking buddies once upon a time not so long ago." I say gritting my teeth somewhat and I can feel the irritation rise up within me, it's about to bubble over to top, I wanted the truth and I needed to have Ric place all his cards neatly on the deck so I could see what he knew, what was going on. "So you better make this good." I say crossing my arms over my chest and he instantly gulps as he sees that I am dead serious about this.

"Where did you even hear that?" Ric says and he is unsure on how to proceed with this, how to answer me, I can see the look in his eyes and I know for a fact that he's trying to play dumb, to make me think that it wasn't real at all, that I was delusional. I wasn't having that. This shit might work on Josette but I would not have it. I wanted the truth and I wanted it yesterday.

"Ric," I warn in a stern voice sitting up straight moving to the edge of the chair. My eyes remains on his and I am daring him not to fuck around with me right now because there will be consequences. "Why didn't you tell me that you knew him?" I ask in all seriousness, I swear that if he lies to me or even thinks to lie to me I will punch him so hard that he will forever fear the shit out of me. And believe me I can punch hard, and I would go as far as kicking him in the nuts. But that would be my last resort, I didn't want to damage anything that Josette might need in the near future.

"Just tell me where you heard it." Ric asks more firmly not letting up just yet and I admire his stubbornness, he got it from his father. Okay that I could tell him and I would tell him, without him thinking I am making this up and that I am really hallucinating this.

"Damon told me today in session." I say, running a shaky hand through my hair, making sure that none of it is in my face, I was irritated and it only frustrated me more when my hair was in my face. Ric's eyes wander for a moment and it looks like he is contemplating whether or not to tell me what I want to hear so badly. I narrow my eyes at this and then he sighs, seemingly giving in to my threats and warnings. That was pretty easy. "So spill it." I say and he shakes his head from side to side.

"Yeah we met, a few times." Ric finally admits and I nod my head wanting him to continue with what he was about to say, I wanted to know the whole story, every single bit. Every gory detain of their drinking encounters, it would help me in creating a timeline and well it would feed my curiosity I had about my sociopath. I valued any bit of new information that I received about him. I valued it more when it came straight from his mouth. Well I enjoyed everything more when it came from his mouth. I blush at that thought but quickly shake it off.

"When did you realize that he was the guy you once got shitfaced with?" I say a bit irritated and a tad bit rude, I was every bit as blunt as I could be, I couldn't help it my irritated side was getting the better of me, I tilt my head to the side, I needed to know how long he has known about Damon and he just didn't feel like tell me, he said nothing to me.

"After his little suicide attempt last week." Ric says scratching his head lightly and I narrow my eyes at him, that was like a week ago or so? Right? So he knew and just didn't want to tell me. Why the hell would he keep something like that from me? I mean that was pretty important information for me to know. But then again I am flipping out at Ric just imagine how I would have been last week?

"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask in disbelieve and Ric just sighs, I'm not sure if it is out of frustration or if it's just because I am hammering him about all this. I just needed to know the truth, that was all I was asking for. I take a breath and look down to my hand's this hands on approach was not going to help with Ric and I knew it but I kept pushing. "Ric, just understand that this isn't just about him anymore, this is about much more, and I need to know things like this." I say calming my voice to the point where I seem to have calmed downed to the point where I do not seem like a deranged bitch.

"I didn't think it would be relevant. I mean I didn't know he was a killer back then, what difference does it make now?" Ric asks, he looks bewilder but I can guess why and I can really understand where he is coming from but he needed to understand that this was Damon we were talking about, the state wanted to re-open his case and this is something that they could use against us, against him. Well if they ever found out that I was intimately involved with him then… I'm not really sure what they would do. Certify me as crazy too?

"It's relevant to me, it's relevant if the state finds out, hell Ric, they could take him from us." I say in a rushed voice and now he's the one tilting his head to the side in confusion, he just caught onto something that I didn't want to reveal and my eyes go wide as I sit back in my chair, I said something that I should not have. But I continue as to ease the tension. "And right now I want him to stay here." I say with a shy smile on my face, I try to hide the smile but Ric sees right through me and I know that he will question me I just know how I would be answering the questions.

"Elena…" Ric starts and I just keep my eyes on his, the cogs in his mind starting to turn as realisation set in. "Are you attracted to you patient?" Ric asks and he is completely serious about this, there is no humour in his voice at all but I could have guessed that much. I almost gulp at the question as I stare into his eyes. I needed to lie to him, he could not know the truth, not just yet, he would not understand it.

"What do you mean?" I ask innocently but I didn't feel one bit of innocence in my arteries as I tried to avoid answering that question head on because hell I would lie if I said no.

"Elena I am not an idiot, I know you two find each other attractive, I know he has this un-healthy obsession with you, so please try not to play coy with me about this, you want honesty from me, I just demand honesty from you as well." Ric says and now he is the serious one. I take a in a breath of much needed fresh air and I work on my resting bitch face before I look at him straight in his eyes. I would not fall under pressure. Not now.

"What are you trying to say Ric?" I ask, I keep my voice toned down in an intimidating way as I continue to stare it him, I can see he's crumbling under the scrutiny of my stare. Good he won't continue with these question that I know he is lining up for me. "Are you trying to say that there is something between me and my patient? That I am acting inappropriately?" His mouth opens at this but I keep my composure because it is every bit true and I know if I crumble now, it's over.

"Elena…" He starts and I shake my head instantly silencing him before he even has a chance to continue, he can't continue or I might just blow this.

"No Ric, tell me straight to me face." I say and at this his eyes almost act wild as it looks throughout the room, looking for some way to get him out of this sticky situation that he was currently in, even thou I was 100% correct. And he was correct and I just wanted a way to wiggle out of it even thou I only note now that he thinks that Damon has an un-healthy obsession with me, in a way it was true but it differed from the way you looked at it.

"If I say 'yes', then you are going to be mad at me, if I say 'no' then I know I am lying to myself. You didn't see how he reacted this morning when he saw Tyler kissing you, I had to restrain him Elena, I had to hold him back or he would have killed Tyler with his bare hands." Ric says and my eyes go wide, I had wondered what had happened, how did Damon know about Tyler. And now I knew, he saw the whole thing. I stare at Ric for the longest of moments not sure what to say to that. "Elena, he's obsessed with you, he almost ripped my arm off trying to get to you, to get Tyler away from you, or would you just like me to believe that it never happened and that I should book the cell next to him because I am going completely bonkers." I open my mouth a few times as I stare at my long-time friend. I have no idea what I am going to tell him, of whether I should even say anything. Because he already knew, and this avoiding each other questions was just prolonging the inevitable.

I look down to the ground, taking in a deep breath, what was I going to tell Ric? Tell him the truth and this will all back fire in my face and I could risk losing everything that I have worked for so hard. Or I tell Ric that he's gone completely and utterly crazy, and that would be lying. I couldn't lie to Ric even if I wanted to and that was the hardest pill to swallow at the moment. I bite the inside of my mouth and tilt my head to the side, I was stuck between a rock and a hard place and I didn't know what to do or what I was going to do.

"I have no idea how to handle this situation." I say softly and mostly to myself and Ric has to strain his ears to hear this but that was all I was willing to say, I couldn't admit to anything. I was a coward like that and that would be the first time I have ever admitted it to myself.

"What situation?" Ric asks and I look down, I can't look into his eyes, I can't bear to feel rejected by my friend if I tell him the truth. I bite my lip once again and look to my hands that are now folded on my lap, I fidget somewhat with my thumbs for a second contemplating whether or not to come clean, but the longer I keep it from him the worse it will get. "Elena, just tell me what's going on, please?" Ric pleads to me but I can already hear the ridicule in his voice, he was going to judge me on this, like every other person that walks this earth. I was crazy to love a person like Damon.

"I'm in love with him…" I say barely above a whisper, at first Ric frowns and then tilts his head to another side indicating that he did not hear me the first time around or he was just reacting in a very strange way that I could not comprehend.

"What?" he asks and the way he asks makes me think that he's retarded. I want to laugh at that but I can't even smile at the moment because I knew that I needed to come clean. I take a deep breath and look Ric straight in his eyes.

"What do you mean what?" I snap back at him with a deep frown on my face, I can see him cracking a smile because we had quite a few situation like this before. What was he what'ing about?

"I mean what did you say? I could barely hear you." He says still with that stupid smile on his face and I take another deep breath, okay this time I needed to be a little louder, I needed to tell him. Here goes nothing.

"I'm in love with him." I say a bit louder, closing my eyes as the words leave my mouth and now he doesn't seem like he understands one bit of what I just said. I might just get irritated by how this is going but his frown only deepens making me worried that he might not understand what I am trying to say or who I am referring to.

"With Tyler? Why'd you break up with him then?" It was the most innocent question that was ever asked by Ric and I didn't know whether to laugh my ass off or slap him upside down. But really how could he think I was speaking about Tyler if we were just speaking about Damon, was he really that dense or was he just a complete idiot?

"No!" I yell and he cringes away closing his eyes and he was being silly now which made this just unbearable to keep a straight face with him. "With Damon!?" I say and then realization hit him with full force, it dawn on him that I was in love with a serial killer. There was a lot of emotions present on his face, playing among his wrinkles, I just could not figure out which one would overpower the other and surface. "I'm in love with Damon." I repeating softly looking down at my hands, I needed to repeat myself, I needed to confirm this not only to Ric but to myself as well. We both needed to hear this.

"Wait… What?" Ric asks in a slow manner that makes him seem a bit slower than usual just like before. "Elena are you serious?" He continues but this time his words flow together in once fuelled sentence, like he finally understands what I am trying to say. And I know what he's trying to say, he thinks I am crazy, I have finally gone mad like the rest of the people residing in the hospital. "Are you crazy?" Ric asks and I know the answer to that.

"No!" I almost yell at him but I know the truth, I was bat shit crazy for falling in love with someone like Damon. "Ric, here I am blabbering my heart out about my feelings and how I feel and you thinks that I am completely crazy." And to be honest I think I am really starting losing my mind as well. I am going completely bonkers because I was in love with a sociopath. I take a deep breath and focus my eyes on Ric with a more determined look on my face. His eyes remain on mine for a while longer and then he sighs shaking his head from side to side.

"I didn't mean that." He said with sorrow in his voice. I raise a brow, if he didn't mean it like that how the fuck did he mean it then? Because the words were loud and clear.

"Then how did you mean it?" I ask a bit more serious, never taking my eyes off of my long-time friend.

"Elena, it's just a lot to take in at the moment, I mean you just said that you have fallen in love with you patient, and I mean he's a serial killer, he killed people!" Ric state's a bit more outraged at the information that was now flowing in the room, he did have a valid point but it did hurt my feelings somewhat that he would say it out loud, I give him a disapproving look, I was disappointed in myself but my heart has a will of its own. My heart loves what it loves. I don't always get a choice. "Elena… Damon is… dangerous." The words slip from Ric's mouth and I just lower my head because I knew it was true.

"Ric, I crave a dangerous kind of love, one that breaks hearts and bed springs." I say with all seriousness and I give Ric a sideway glance, I watch the side of his lips turning up into a small smile as my words sink in, finally there was light to this situation and a way forward, we just needed to move in a positive forward at the moment.

"Souls tend to go back to who feels like home." Somehow the way Ric said that makes me confused, why would he talk about going back if I had never been with Damon in the first place. I frown at him, but I don't question him further, I just nod my head. When there is a full smile on Ric lips he tilts his head to the side, his demeanour anything but angry or disappointed. "Elena, you know you are the moon in all this, and Damon is always there for you to make you shine."

I sit back in my seat not quite understanding what he was referring to but I smile nether the less. "Is he the sun?" I innocently ask.

"No honey, he's the darkness." I take a deep breath at that, I was the light and he was the dark, I have always seen it this before, he was the bad and I was the good, just like that night his blood tainted my clothing. Everything in life is about balance. And we were balancing each other out. Everything in life is about balance. "What are we going to do about this Elena?" Ric asks and I raise a brow before rising to my feet and making my way towards his window looking out in the gardens as if trying to find an answer in the plants, Elijah had a few patients with him in the gardens thou.

"What do you suggest Ric?" I asks placing my palm to the window, saying his name to emphasize that I had no idea what to do about this situation. I touch it lightly with the tips of my finger trailing my fingers down, making 5 lines from the middle to the end, the cleaners would need to was the windows, they were beyond dirty and I just proved my point because when I pull my hand from the window there is dust on my fingers.

"We keep it a secret." The words sounded completely foreign from Ric's mouth and that is why I glances towards him with a deep frown on my face, why would he suggest we keep this a secret? What did he suggest that we keep a secret? Was he really going to be supportive of this unprofessional behaviour that I have with my patient?

"Which part?" I ask and his eyes zone down on my once more, his stare intense.

"Anything pertaining you and Damon. Keep it low, no one should know. I will keep the hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil policy." I could not believe that Ric had just said that. He wanted to keep this secret just as much as I wanted to keep this a secret and he was willing to go along with it, his trust in me ran deeper than I thought. "Just keep it to yourselves, don't be too obvious about the whole thing." Ric says and I am both shocked but thrilled about this because indirectly he was giving me his blessing. He was approving my relationship with my sociopath.

"Ric are you sure? This isn't inappropriate? This isn't wrong and we should stop?" I ask turning to the side to glance at him and he has a smile on his face, like always. That what I loved about Ric thought, he always understood, even in difficult situations.

"Somehow I trust that fucker with you, and this is far beyond inappropriate behaviour for a patient and doctor but like you said, your heart loves what it loves, and you do not get a say in the matter. I believe we can do this, you just need to be a bit more careful…." I could not believe that Ric was agreeing to this, that he was supporting me in the only why he knew he could and that we actually had this talk just now. It was so strange, it was surreal. "Just don't get hurt." Ric says with a somewhat smile and I nod my head at him.

Damon wouldn't hurt me, well not intentionally.

***Damon's POV***

Rent-a-cop's friend Marcel is taking me from my room, I wonder what this grand adventure would be like since only Elena and Ric ever took me places. I never travelled without one of them. I am just filled with joy as I look around the halls, finally being taken from my room not that I do not enjoy it, but it does get lonely from time to time without any for of communication and finally the Medical wing pops up and my smile falls from my lips. Why oh, why would they want me in the medical wing, there was nothing wrong with me, well not physically anyway but mentally was another story, Marcel moves faster and faster and soon I feel like I need to speed walk to keep up with him and to get to our destination, or he just felt so uncomfortable with me that he needed to run away. I smile at that one more person that wants to run away from me.

Marcel opens the door to the ward and Dr. Barbie with her red lips and bouncy blonde hair is staring at me with a smile I know all too well, and I didn't like that smile one bit because it just made me sick to my stomach. Not going to happen ever. I keep my eyes trained on Dr Barbie as she nods her head towards Marcel and he only keeps the door open for me so I can get in before he is out the door and scatters, seems like he couldn't get away from me soon enough, good I made an impression on the poor man. I wonder where Elena was right now, and whether she knew about this little outing that Dr Barbie and Marcel had planned for me. I doubt she would allow it, nor would rent-a-cop for that matter, but then again I still didn't understand some of the things Elena did. Because everything she does comes from within. From some dark impulse. I guess that's what makes her so thrilling to watch sometimes. So dangerous. Even perfect at times, but also so damn destructive.

"Mr Salvatore would you come this way?" Dr Barbie asks drawing my attention to her once again, the seductive suggestion that laces her voice almost had me running for the hills, I hope this wasn't what I think it is. And right now I think that the dear blonde doctor has the hots for me and she was trying her best to get somewhere with me or something out of me. And why do people feel the need to refer to me as Mr Salvatore? Mr Salvatore was someone's father, not mine but someone out there. But I guess only Elena knew that. I take a step forward and then another as I continue to watch the blonde as she motions to the hospital bed in front of her, strangely enough I have never seen this part of the Hospital before and I didn't like it one bit.

I walk up to the hospital bed slowly and I take a seat on it unsure of the reason I am here, my eyes never leaving the blonde in front of me. She was my type, well she was the type I would usually put out of their misery, or she reminded me of them, the way her make-up was plastered on, her shirt showing of a bit too much cleavage, the skirt that will show of her underwear if she moves in a strange way and then those hooker heals… If we were any other place I would do this whole world a big favour and take her life, but I doubt Elena would appreciate that, if I wanted to be with Elena I couldn't continue being this murdered, for her sake, I couldn't get any more blood on my hands. I shake the idea from my head. Dr Barbie moves to the side and she looks at me through her lashes.

"Mr. Salvatore, I am Dr Olivia Parker, I am the head physician at the hospital, I just need to give you a quick check up and check all your vitals, this is just proper hospital procedures." Dr Barbie explained and I narrowed my eyes at her, I have been here for almost the whole of two weeks and now she want to give me a check-up, I was starting to think this was something way more than that by the way she places her hand on my thigh slightly rubbing her thumb over my pants, if she was looking to get something out of me I was sorry but she will be highly disappointed, I shudder at the thought of her touching me, I didn't want her touching me, no one could touch me but Elena. I want to roll my eyes when the blonde doctor pulls the statoscope closer. "You need to remove your shirt for me." She asks in a sweet and sickening tone. This was a first, I just kept on looking at her like she had gone completely crazy. I would not be removing my shirt for her to ogle at me.

I would not say a word to her, she had not gained my trust nor the capacity to hear me speak. She might even never be that lucky. I find it that this drove my doctor's insane previously that I never spoke to them but they never really got me like Elena got me. When I don't move or budge from my spot, she sighs and she starts to pull at my shirt, pressing the cold head of the statoscope to my chest as she listens, we both know I have a heart, but I doubt that it would ever beat for her. The only one that would ever be able to revive my heart is Elena. And she has done it multiple times now. I keep my eyes on Dr Barbie, I'm watching her like I would do one of those prostitutes that usually rubbed me up the wrong way. Oh how I wish I could drag her into the woods and do something to her. I smirk at the idea and Dr Barbie sees this and she frowns as she moves the head of the statoscope to my left lung.

I'm not sure what the hell she was checking because I am living, I am breathing, didn't she get the memo? As soon as she's listened to both my lungs she pulls from me pulling the statoscope from her and placing it on the bed next to me. "You have a solid…"she bites her lips as she says this and I feel sick. "…heart beat and you lungs sound in good order." Well wasn't she stating the obvious right now? I knew I was in a great condition, I was a doctor after all, I knew how to take care of myself. I didn't need her to check up on me in any way or manner.

I move back in my seat and give her an irritating look because nothing she does makes sense or even adds up at the moment, unless she wanted to try something with me and I believe that it was her motive to try something, to start something, which would not be happening in this lifetime or the next, I want to roll my eyes when she grabs the temperature reader handing it to me, my facial expression remains the same as I reach for the little glass thermometer, making sure that I avoid touching her, she was dirty, well she looked dirty, and if she fucked Tyler I wouldn't even touch her with Ric's dick if given the chance. I pop the thermometer in my mouth and continue to stare at her. Giving her a sadistic smirk hoping to scare her off. But it seems none of my normal tactics were working.

After a few seconds past and she shifts her weight from one foot to the other, I take the thermometer from my mouth and hand it to her, she takes it making sure her hand touches mine and I can't help but shudder in disgust. She did that on purpose, I knew it. She looks at my temperature and then smirks, I know I am pretty hot, no pun intended. "Could you show me your wrists?" she asks and at this I just roll my eyes but I comply nether the less, moving my arms and soon my hands are in front of me, my wrists pointing up for her viewing pleasure. Elena would be happy that I was healing, but then again they can start the shit of handcuffing me again and I didn't want that. I was trying to avoid that.

"You're not very talkative are you?" Dr Barbie asks and I want to sigh but I just give her a sarcastic smile tilting my head to the side, if I open my mouth right not I would tell her just how I would wring her dirty little neck. She looks down at my wrist examining the wounds on each arm, making sure that she touches me, moving my arms from side to side to get a better look at the wounds that are almost healed because it wasn't that bad in the first place. "You're a very attractive man." Dr Barbie mumbles and I swear to God that she would die at my hands if she continued with this shit.

When she is finally finished with my arms I place them back next to me on the bed and I wait for her next move, her next request. She looks at me and she licks her lips in a seductive way. I want to close my eyes and I didn't want to see this. But before she can make another move on me the door to the ward opens and I have never been so relieved in my whole life to see rent-a-cop. But the look on his face is anything but pleasant as he shoots me a glare. What the hell did I do to deserve that? I didn't ask to see Dr Barbie, I didn't even want to be here.

"Oliva what the fuck is this?" Ric asks pushing the door aside and it reveals Elena, she seems…I have no words to explain how the hell she looks but chaotic. I loved her chaos. The way she blew into my life like a fucking storm, tearing the nails and windows out of my soul and opening me to the sky. Her eyes flow over the room looking from Dr Barbie to me and the hands that that was currently placed on my legs by the blonde doctor standing in front of me.

"Just a check-up Alaric." Dr Barbie said and at this Elena raises her brows, she isn't happy about this, not even one bit. I look at her beautiful face and I want to smile so badly at the moment but I keep my facial expression in check, I shift my legs and Dr Barbie's hand falls from my leg and she instantly retracts her hands from me, now fully looking at the two people who had entered the room. "I mean it was long overdue for the patient anyway." She continues to say but Elena just shakes her head from side to side as Ric starts to move closer to the bed I was currently sitting on. I'm not really sure what the hell was going on at the moment.

"This is a high priority patient Olivia, you know that, you don't just get to pull him from his room for flimsy check-ups. Besides Elena is fully capable of overlooking his physical health as well as his mental health." Ric says and at this Elena folds her arms over her chests, she looks like a cat that just stole the cream, very proud of her act.

"Don't think Josette won't hear about this." My girl finally says, she doesn't move, she just continues to stand next to the door. "I mean this is highly unprofessional, and I am going to lay a complaint," Elena continues to say and I can't help but smirk at my girl and the priceless look on Dr Barbie's face at the moment, as her eyes goes wide in disbelieve.

"I'm sure we don't have to follow that route Elena. It's an innocent mistake on my behalf, I just wanted to do my job." Dr Barbie interjects trying her best to plead her case, she was trying to cool down the situation but this only seamed to infuriate Elena more, I have never seen her this rallied up before and I must say that I find it highly arousing to see her this way, she was fire and I wanted to get burned. Enzo's words playing in my head as I think about the fiery woman standing only a few feet from me. I watch Elena as her eyes travelled to me and I tilt my head to the side giving her a frustrated look and she just takes in a deep breath. "I am sorry." Blondie says from next to me and this seems to piss Elena off even more because the way blondie said it doesn't sound like she was sorry one bit.

"I guess you're sorry for fucking Tyler to?" Elena retorts and its classic but I could see that with every passing second, Elena was losing her shit this whole situation was making Elena angry, the blonde only angering her more it seemed. What had her so angry that she was biting of Blondies head? I look to Dr Barbie and she takes a step back, she has a disappointed look on her face as she continues to look at Elena. This was not moving into a positive direction at all. I look to Elena and then to Ric and he just sighs but takes a deep breath it seems that he was in no mood for their bickering.

"No, not actually. I enjoyed that, since you never did." The words leave those red lips like venom and I watch the fire bursting into hungry flames in Elena's eyes, but I could tell that they weren't just referring to the fucking moron Tyler anymore. "And I was just taking care of your patient, since you don't really take care of him physically." I watch Ric's mouth fall open and he instantly steps in front of Dr Barbie as Elena lashes out and she lunges forward, her hands ready to claw at the blonde, clearly there was still unresolved issues between the two of them and Dr Barbie just started something that she should have kept quiet, they needed to clear the air but that was not happening today or soon, I could feel it in my bones.

Ric reaches for Elena grabbing her, holding her in her place before she could reach her destination which is the blonde standing in front of me, Elena squirms and she struggles and then she's swearing at Ric, and the blonde and the world, she would make a sailor proud with all the words that left her mouth, I was surprised she knew some of the words she was using, and she just wants to get her hands on the filthy blonde, I am all in for a cat fight but this would not be a simple claws and scratch fight, this would be a fight to the death, Dr Barbie automatically steps away, her eyes wide as she stares at Elena in complete shock, it might seem that this was not Elena's normal behaviour, because both Ric and Dr Barbie looks beyond surprised to see her reacting like this. It reminded me of how I felt this morning when I saw that fucker Tyler kiss Elena. I remember the blood pumping in my veins as jealously shot through me, but then again I wasn't jealous. You only get jealous if you want something you can't have, I was territorial, just protecting was already mine.

Ric was trying his best to calm the struggling brunette in his grip, to prevent any injuries that Elena might inflict on Dr Barbie. I could understand her anger, and it fuelled mine because no one talked like that to my girl even if she was referring to her scum bag ex. I look to Dr Barbie, her eyes wide as she continue to stare at Elena. My hand reaches out towards Dr Barbie, I couldn't stop it, I just snapped, I think it's all the suppressed anger that was building up, my hands were moving on their own accord as I wrapped my fingers around the blondes neck, my other hand soon follows as I grip her in a death grip, I raise form the bed and push her back, my eyes meeting her as her hands fly up to my hands holding her neck. I squeeze lightly, cutting of her air supply.

I move in a step closer as the blonde takes a step back, and I know I am surprising both Ric and Elena at the moment but my body was moving on its own accord, just like it happened that first time. Someone had to teach this bitch a lesson, she could not just mess with my girl, no one messed with my girl. I can see out of the corner of my eye, the wide eyed expression both Ric and Elena was sporting and Elena instantly stopped struggling in Ric's grip for a few seconds, both of them going completely still as they watched me in horror. I have wanted to do this since I walked in this fucking room. Ric's grip loosens from Elena as he tries to reach for me now but I move out of his way, out of his grip, keeping the blonde in my death grip. I don't plan on killing her, I don't even plan to hurt her. I just take a step forward and finally her back hits something hard, maybe it was the wall I don't know nor did I care.

"You're a fucking filthy little whore." I say with gritted teeth, I continue to look into Dr Barbie's fearful eyes as they go wide and she's trying with all her might to loosen the grip of my hands on her neck, she's grabbing and she's clawing and she's trying everything but nothing helps, nothing is going to remove my hands. Her feet kick out from underneath her and I keep her in place. "You know what I do to people like you?" I say my eyes going wide as I give her one sarcastic smile, and I might just look like I have just lost my mind.

Her mouth opens, and closes, but there is no sound not even a breath, I enjoyed that, but I hated the fact that Ric has finally gotten his hands on my, they are met with Elena's hands as they try to pull me from the doctor that I am currently choking. But I didn't want to kill her, I just needed to scare her enough to stay the fuck away from me and Elena, to be scared of me. I swat my one hand at Ric and he steps back but he returns full force trying to get the blonde from me. I swat at him again and then Elena grabs me around my waist and she starts to pull me, but she's too small to do anything, she can't even make me move, her attempts are futile.

"I slowly watch as the life leaves their eyes and they die…" I say moving my face towards his and I want to emphasize every word that leaves my mouth but she's going blue in her face and I might just be choking her too hard at the moment, she might just faint or pass out. "If given the chance you would be just another body on my case docket." I say and then I finally remove my hands from her, instantly retracting my hands from her, Ric grabbing at me urgently, as both him and Elena try and restrain me. Dr Barbie falls to her knees as she grabs for her throat, red finger prints now covering her pale skin. I give her one of my most demonic smiles, my eyes widening as I look to her and her eyes go wide, I know that look, I loved that look of fear in woman's eyes, but they never lived long enough to show me the look of relief that is now flowing through the blonde doctor. I didn't enjoy that look of relief at all.

I think I must have blurred out the sounds of Elena and Ric voices as I continue to stare at Dr Barbie, I could hear them in the back ground, yelling at me, yelling for security to assist, for some help of any kind. Whoops guess I fucked up again but it was highly motivated. I feel Ric, placing me in a death grip and I can't move at all, I can't move my hands, I can't feel Elena's hands on me anymore and that sends me off into a panic because where was she, and I can't see her, all I am focused on is the blonde that was on knees now gasping for air. I feel another pair of strong arms and then there is a jacket, I fucking hated these jackets but there was no way in getting out of it. And then my eyes meet with doe brown eyes again. I feel her palms on my face as she keeps my head in place.

"Damon!" I hear Elena's voice, her face is so closed to mine that out breaths mingle her voice sounds strained as she calls to me, I still have two people trying to hold me in place thou so there was nothing I could do, I couldn't even reach out to her and touch her.

"I didn't kill her." My words sound foreign to me as I continue to look into Elena's doe eyes. "I didn't want to." I say justifying my action and Elena just continues to look at me with this frightened expression on her beautiful face. Was she frightened of me? Of what I had just done to Dr Barbie? I didn't want to frighten her, I never intended on doing that. I just wanted to scare the fucking little slut that had her hands all over me.

"Ric, I think you should take him back to his cell." Elena says, her voice sounds stable but her eyes are all over the place, her eyes momentarily moving to Ric for a moment before returning back to me. "It's okay." The words are a whisper on her lips and only meant for my ears. But I don't know what she was referring to.

I furrow my brows together and a smirk makes its way only my lips. "I did it for you…" I mumble back as to clarify what had just happened and why it happened as Ric and his friend start to move me, pulling me to move but I don't want to move away, I didn't want to move, I just wanted to stay here, I wanted Elena with me, I didn't want to be away from her right now but I had no other option. But Ric ultimately overpowered me with the help of the person who was helping him until I am finally pulled out of the room and back to my cell.

Hey guys I know it's been like three weeks with no update. I am very sorry. Things have been busy. But here you go with a new update, will try and post another chapter by the end of the week. I hope you enjoy this chapter and I hope to get some feedback so please review. Quick question, shall this story be a 24 chapters or 30? It's all up to the readers. Let me know what you think.

Shout outs :

TVDFan245 - Yes you have met the girl, and it will be revealed who it is in the next chapter. But think about it I have only written about a limited few girls. Yes Stefan will be a surprise, and will be at the end so if you read his name you know that it would be the last chapter. But I can proudly say that there will be no romantic feeling towards him. Katherine might not be in this FIC, I don't have a valid reason to have her. Hope you enjoy this chapter and tell me 24 or 30 chapters?
