Chapter 12 History lessons, of dungeon's past
Damon's POV
Damon leaned back on the couch playing his game. Herbie was on his chest enjoying a julienned piece of carrot.
"It's all about focus. The mind. The body. And dare I say, even the soul."
Herbie just kept chewing even though he was a bit of a one tick pony; the hamster was turning out to be nice company. Damon even took a few pictures with the hamster.
"Herbie this game is about absolute and complete concentration."
Therefore when his phone rang Damon was unprepared. He jerked upright, dumping poor Herbie onto the couch cushion...
The little guy bounced and landed on the floor. With the carrot in mouth, the hamster scurried under the couch.
Damon answered the phone. "Salvatore."
"Okay." Conner said. "I've got some good news and I've got some bad news."
Damon got down on his hands and knees trying to check under the couch. "Damn it come here Herbie."
"What the hell are you doing." Conner asked
"Looking for a hamster."
"Is that some kind of double entendre?" Conner asked. "Wait are you having sex again?"
"No." Damon barked, unable to find Herbie. "What's the bad news?"
"Sorry." Conner said sounding awfully proud of himself. "It is my turn to strut my stuff." The tech hurried on building steam as he went. "I linked one man, a Vern Waltham, to an abandoned van purchased two weeks before the third abduction, which was caught on tape by an atm machine across the street from his insurance agent." Conner took in a deep loud breath. "He shoots and he scores!"
"Did you get an address?" Damon asked
"Check your email dude." Conner said. "I map quested it and everything."
Damon rushed over to Bonnie's computer and brought up his email account. Sure enough Conner had done all the heavy lifting for him. The finally had an address for Starvin Stanley
"Wait a minute. What's the bad news?" Damon asked
Conner paused for a moment. "I know you are going to tell me that I didn't look hard enough, but man, this guy only has the one suburban address."
"There's got to be another one."
"Dude I knew you were going to say that so I checked everything. Every property tax roll, income tax. Everything. There's nothing."
"Keep looking." Damon said as he terminated the call.
Damon got back down on his hands and knee. "Here hamster, hamster, hamster." But Herbie did not come when called.
Ungrateful pet.
"Crap." Damon said. This is not going to look good if bonnie ever comes home.
He rose and grabbed his coat off the back of the chair.
"Maybe she'll notice that I did the dishes though."
Bonnie's POV
Bonnie leaned in as she cleaned a scratch on kol cheek. It also gave her the excuse to brush her breasts against his bare skin. She batted her eyelashes.
"Well?" She asked. If he'd gone out into that free for all for her, he must be willing to do this as well.
Kol looked her up and down and must have found her wanting somehow, as he leaned away from her. "No one ever escaped."
"Not that you know of." she cooed.
Kol raised his voice loud enough for the entire dungeon to hear. "Has anyone ever escaped?"
The dungeon answered with a unanimous "no."
Bonnie felt slightly uncomfortable discussing the topic with all the men focusing on her, but this was too important to give up on. She needed to get out of her, like now.
"You're trying to tell me that no one has ever gotten past the second door?"
Elijah shook his head. "Not in my short time."
"Oh," Tyler said "people have gotten out…."
Bonnie waited for him to finish but Jeremy was the one to speak next, in his excited just past teen voice. "Yeah yeah like lumber jack and boy toy. They made it out!"
"Then their fucking heads came rolling back in…" the rapist made the action of throwing a bowling ball.
Bonnie never would have believed it before. But after that free for all, with Alaric splayed open like a pig and Stefan crumpled in the corner, bonnie would believe just about anything could occur in the dungeon.
"But there's got to be a way." She insisted. Not because she believed it, but because she had to believe it.
"Oh." Tyler said. "Remember the Corsica brothers?"
Jeremy bobbed his head up and down. "They had that whole tag team wrestling angle going for them."
Klaus pointed up to the trap door above his head. "If it wasn't for their fucking double twist backwards flip we never would have figured out there were swinging blades inside those trap doors."
"Ugh." Jeremy said. "Then Igor missed a few body parts up there."
Tyler pinched his nose. "It stunk for weeks."
"but-" Bonnie tried to interrupt the excuses not to try. However Klaus overrode her.
"And don't even think about trying to take Igor down."
"He's strapped with enough c4 to blow us all into our next reincarnation." Jeremy added, quite unnecessarily.
Tyler agreed. "He got a dead man's switch on his shoe."
Klaus chimed in. "If the guy comes off his feet, it is boom."
Bonnie frowned. Since Igor was still alive, clearly he had never gone boom.
"And how would you know that?" Bonnie asked trying to find some chink in the dungeon's impenetrable defenses.
Jeremy shrugged. "It was before my time."
"And mine." Tyler stated.
All the men looked to Klaus who was busy cleaning his own wounds. "What?" He asked but then settled to tell the story.
"A few week s after my shit doesn't stink got here; Kol got the bright idea to cover his lock with some stale oatmeal before the mechanism clicked closed."
The rapists drifted off as he dabbed around his calf.
"And?" Bonnie promoted.
"It worked. Then he jumped Igor the next time he came in to feed us. Then found 'wow that's a lot of explosives' Kol followed the wiring down to the shoe, and the rest was history."
Bonnie looked down to Kol. So he had been brave and wanting to get out of here at one point. Kol smiled and pointed to a small nick on his neck.
"You missed one."
Bonnie carefully cleaned it.
"Oh!" Jeremy announced, with cupcake crumbles flying. "Remember the S&M master?"
Tyler snorted. "Yeah he thought he had all the moves. Thought that he could take the pain from the collar and use it whatever."
"So." Jeremy continued. "Mr. Superior mimics Kol's move, down to the stale oatmeal, but ties Igor's foot to the bottom bar, keeping it flat while he went to figure out the combo to the outer door. Which he got through."
"Then though, it was fucking BBQ central." Klaus finished.
"His collar fried." Tyler said. "But fried not only his neck, but his brain, man."
Jeremy pantomimed the action as he spoke. "He was flopping around, seizing for ten minutes before he died."
"Yeah," Klaus said with a chuckle. "That was a fucking great day no doubt."
"Then what?" Bonnie asked.
"Then fucking what? What?"
Bonnie was kind of over Klaus's undiluted aggression. "What happened next?"
"Fucking nothing." Klaus said.
"No, no!" Jeremy shouted. "Remember, Stefan had his hook from farm day and snagged S&M guys pant cuff and…"
Oh Bonnie could imagine what came next.
"Oh yeah," Tyler said. "Stefan always did like his meat medium well."
"No." Bonnie said. "I meant what happened to Igor. If he was tied up how did he get away?"
Everyone looked at her side ways. Even Elijah. Like she was the stupidest person on earth.
"Oh dearie." Elijah said "Even I know that." Elijah indicated to thin pipes coming out of the wall. "If things ever get out of control, or when introducing fresh meat, he gases us."
"He gases?" Bonnie asked. "You mean Igor?"
Klaus snorted. "Does Igor look like he can fucking rig a dead man's switch or track down and capture the Boston Strangler?"
Tyler stood up abruptly. "Why do you always have to do that? We're having a perfectly good reminiscence and then you've got to go and take credit for all my work."
Klaus wasn't intimidated at all, though. "Bullshit. Look who he took down first. Me. The original.
Tyler shook his head. "No way, you were just the easier mark."
Elijah interrupted the two rapist's argument. "We don't know who pulls the strings behind the curtains but he certainly is thorough."
Klaus and Tyler went back to bickering as Kol leaned into Bonnie.
"Like I said. Escape is impossible."
Jeremy took a nice big bite of cupcake. "You know you can say anything you like about the wizard, but dang can he cook!"
All right my little lambs, now we know what happens when people try to escape the dungeon, but never fear our Bonnie's way too stubborn to just give up!
Damon was bonding with Herbie and then lost him...how do we think Bonnie would react?
Next time on The House of Seven: Damon gets help from Matt, Bonnie's stubbornness prompts her to something that just might end her life, like siding with another prisoner, and this time Kol's not there to save her.
Sneak peak:
"You must let me anoint you, lest your skin dry and crack during your metamorphosis."
"What are you talking about?" Bonnie demanded.
"Your soul. I need to see your soul..."
Stay tuned! ;D the creep scale is getting turned up another notch!
