Ancien Egypt, springtime, Wednesday,
He woke alone, freezed and throat aching in the cellar he were put into this morning , without any hesitation. He slowly opened his eyes and met the cold hard ground.. His royal clothes were off, he only had an old servant's pant and a pair of handcuffs who were clinging to the nearest ground bars of the cell. He couldn't get up and it smelled like pee and blood. Damon's stomach hurted so much it made a noise as if a monster would free himself and destroy everyone in this prison. As he crawled up into a sitting position, the only thing that could make him smile was the thought of Elena by his side, smiling and being the angel she always is. With that in mind, he would be able to get through this and he'll see her again. A noise came from afar and some footsteps came near him.
? : Master Salvatore..? Are you handling things in there?
D : Who's there! (Was he able to ask in a low voice)
Al : It's my sir, Alarïk. The oldest servant at her queen's service. She asked me to take special care of you.
D : What? Wh.. Why?
Al : Her majesty has some bigger plans for you. She wants you to take princess Elena far away from here.
D : How would I when I'm stuck in here you idiot?
Al : Easy there sire. I brought you some food and water. Sorry I couldn't make more the guards would have been suspicious and I wouldn't be here. Take all your time I'll come by later. It's already 3 pm.. The next guard shift will be in 3 hours, I'll try to pass by then. Please hide the plate in the dark corners of the cell so they won't find it. I'll pick it up and find a way to get rid of your chains. Her majesty apologizes so much for all this trouble but you weren't supposed to act on your feelings just yet.
D : (He finished eating the fruits Alarïk brought to him) Excuse-me? What is that supposed to mean now?
Al : The queen would have requested that you leave after Stefan's wedding. Elena would have been send away a few days later to your location and then only, everything could be the way we wish..
D : I'm a idiot... How could I have known this though? Wait why did Mhira want this for me?
Al : You should know about it Damon. Why the princesses look alot alike but are so different.
D : Elena doesn't looks like Katherine! Not even a bit. (Warned Damon with anger)
Al : Look.. I. Ehm. I am Elena's real father...
Damon couldn't believe his ears! The pharaoh didn't have a second daughter then? This changed everything! His thoughts were going so fast and in all directions that he fell on his bottom, like he has seen a ghost.
D : All seems so.. Clear! Of course! How can the folk even believe Aaron is her father? Yes she looks alot like Mhira sure but you.. Weren't you banished? Didn't they tried to..?
Al : The wanted to offer me to the royal crocodiles. Mhira got furious about this and threatend the pharaoh. She swore that if he did this, she would take Katherine from him. He would never see her and their daughter again. He was madly and blindly in love with Mhira. Aaron agreed and I lived in this cell you're in for about 6 months. I didn't get to be there when Elena came to life. Once everything calmed down, I was able to live again.. Well this isn't the life I wished for but I'm surrounded by the two jewels of my life and I get to see them once in a while.
D : Wow... I got to admit, I was a little bit suspicious when you looked at Elena the way you do. So.. warm and kindly.
Al : I am not allowed to be to near her but I always watched from afar. Mhira had enough problems with me when Aaron suspected something between us. He actually doesn't know that I'm Elena's father. He only thinks I had a thing with Mhira and nothing more.
D : He really doesn't knows? I mean, doesn't he see's the similarities?
Al : Guess not. I hear some one's coming! Are you done with the plate?
D : Ehm yeah here. (He handed it back) May I keep the water?
Al : Yes but you have to hide it well.
D : Thank you.
Al : I'll come by later. Bye Damon.
D : Really thanks for everything.
Alarïk escaped as quickly as he could by the back door and the front one opened at the same time. Stefan came slowly to Damon and again, he smiled meliancously. He stood before the cell's door and ran his fingers along the bars.
S : Are you enjoying it in here dear brother?
D : You don't get to call me that. After mother died, you hated me for it when actually, it's your fault!
S : (He pressed his face to the bars and said in a low ton) You are responsible for my mother's death. Father believed you about her but luckily I killed him soon enough..
D : What!? You did it? Why?
S : Oh you really though our father was this bad at sword fighting? He was a great master of it but I had better. All I had to do, was to tell him how our mother loved him, he softened and I enjoyed it when I felt my sword go through his chest. The crackling of his bones and the way he lost all the blood.. It was fascinating Damon.
D : You bastard! When the pharaoh learns about this you..
S : And who is going to tell him hm? You? Let me have a good laugh! You won't escape this cell till the pharaoh sends one of his guards to kill you. You have no idea what you've created. The chaos you did this morning. All that for just one stupid girl trying to be prettier than my true love.
D : Elena is the most beautiful women in this world! Your brainless piece of crap and full of holes isn't worth a hair of her head.
Stefan got mad and tried to get to Damon, his hands wanting to grip his neck but he couldn't get a hold of him because of the bars being in the way. Now, it was Damon's turn to smile.
D : Aw poor brother unable to hurt me in here. Look at you! I hurt your feelings and you try to kill me too. Isn't it enough to you that you killed already two of 4 member of it?
S : Shut up! I swear I'll kill you myself Damon.
D : If only you could be able to touch me.. You're just the little sluts husband nothing more.
S : I could always ask to behead you as a wedding gift. After all, you talked like a crazy person and went against the pharaoh's wishes.
D : Doesn't mean you'll get the power to kill me anyway.
S : I will try everything I can to finally get rid of you.
D : If you hate me so much, why didn't you try in the past? Why now?
S : I saw how you were excited to see Elena again, how happy you were when you talked about her to our father. I planned to marry Katherine in a few years but I had heard our father and the pharaoh talk about this wedding deal. Figures, it's a gift to be the youngest member of the family, you get to eavesdrop everything without being weirdly seeing. Now, I have the pharaoh's blessing... You're doomed dear brother.
D : We'll see that but I highly doubt that. (Did he say, suddenly sure of him)
S : What makes you so sure ?
D : Oh brother I know something you don't, let's keep it that way 'key.
S : I swear i'll.. !
Guard : STOP ! You can't attempt to touch the prisoner.
S : I am allow..
Guard : You absolutely have no rights here sir. Please, leave this place.
S : Like hell no ! I'm not done.
Guard : Should I call for help ? Or, even better, put you into one of these too ? So you'll keep on talking. No ?
Stefan couldn't do anything more and agreed to leave. He stared at Damon a last time and left. The guards went out too and the only sound in there was small cries from other prisoners. Damon felt awful and wanted nothing more than to be free but how espace when Alarïk told him he'd be back with answers? Another noise made him freak, it was the door again. This time only, this wasn't a man but a women with beautiful dark hair. At first, he thought it was her but then, her face got enlightend and revealed who she was.
D : My queen! What are you doing here?
M : Hello my sweet boy. I needed to see you. Rik told me quickly you talked.. I'm sorry for the confusion.
D : Isn't it dangerous for you to be out here, alone?
M : I can defend myself you know.. I am the goddesse's child not my husband. Aaron doesn't have my powers.
D : What powers are you talking about my queen?
M : I can do some magic. I learned when I was young. Why do you think Aaron believes he is Elena's father? I made a magical wish to have some more time before the folk would see my pregnancy.
D : You could get me out!?
M : I could but my powers have their limits. It would be too suspicious to get you out now and no one being killed in 2 days at Katherine's wedding.. I'm sorry that you had to know like this but have no worries Damon. You'll live that day and every other after that. Till Osiris calls you to join his own kingdom of course.
D : This is alot to get.. And to withnes. What are your plans for me? What are your conditions?
M : Only that you make my daughter happy everyday of her life like I know you would like to do.
D : Since when did you know for me?
M : My father knew so I saw you immediately. Since you're only 4, Elena's your promised bride. I saw the both of you when I met Alarïk. My vision told me what to do.
D : This is big... It's my destiny then? It's a trick? I've never loved anyone else in 24 years!
M : Yes it was planed.
D : At least, now, it's clear..
Mhira smiled and concentrated for a few seconds, then Damon's chains were opened. As she chanted, he felt less in pain and cold. She finished her spell and smiled.
M : I hope this make's you feel better Damon. I'm sorry for everything, truly. That's all I can do for now.
D : Thank you. May I ask what I'll do next?
M : I'll alow Elena to come in your cell. You'll have the whole prison for the evening. No guard will come bother you and at least 4 cells around you are clear so there is no one. Please convince my daughter that she has to leave with you after the wedding. I will do my best to act quickly that day. Swear to me you will try!
D : Oh.. Yes my queen I swear I'll protect her as much as I can. But, how will she enter?
M : (She gave him a wink) She will be the only one allowed to. She'll be able to come in and leave.
D : I don't know what to say..
M : You'll thank me at your wedding my dear boy.
D : How my..
M : I can't stay. This comedy won't be longer now but just for a bit, you have to get through it and convince her!
D : Alright. Thank you.
She warmly smiled at him, got up and left the prison. The temperature heathend all the sudden and it was breathable again. What did Mhira do before she left!? Candles lit themselves and the prison became warmer. Maybe now, he'll survive till tomorrow with this "weather".
So my dear readers (I don't know how many of you are out there but..) this is alot to handle isn't it ? Mhira has powers like the egyptian gods. She the decendant of a god if not the most important one ^^ Spoiler : Elena has them too, she just doesn't control them. Oh and next time, YES, there will be some precious sex time yup :D MOuahahahaha you'll have to wait till then !
Yours deaply, Annesthesie.
