After reading, please read the note at the end. Thanks :):)

Salette looked over at the 4 people staring back at her. She could tell they were all eager to help her and that was a good thing. She needed all the help she could get. Though she was very old, experienced in fighting rival vampires and confident that she was strong enough to get Damon out of the situation he was in, she liked to cover all her bases. If she had a group of people who were willing to help and take the pressure off a bit, she wouldn't deny them.

'What's the plan?' Bonnie asked softly.

'Have you learnt the spells I taught you?' Salette asked carefully.

'Yeah, I think I have them all worked out.'

'Good. We'll need them.'

'What spells were they?' Caroline asked curiously.

'I taught her two spells. One of them was a protection spell. If done correctly, it should cover you all in a protection cloak that will keep you safe. The second one was a sound spell. Once she has cloaked you in the protection spell, she will use you this one. If you do it right, the energy you collect will be enough for you to blow out the windows of the place he's in. The vampires don't have protection rings, so they can't go out in the sun. Bu don't do that spell until I make sure Damon still has his ring on. Ill signal when it's safe Okay?'

Bonnie nodded.

'Good. Once their all scattering for darkness, I'll grab Damon. Caroline, I want you to stay in the car. I know that sounds boring, but you won't be safe in that house and with you in the car, you can keep the motor running. When I come out, I'm going to put Damon in the car and Have Elena and Bonnie come out not long after me. When they are all in the car I want you to floor it. Got that?'

Caroline nodded.

'Great. Elena, I want you to take this.' Salette pulled a bottle of vervain from her bag. 'It's been liquefied. I want you to cover as many of the vampires as you can in it. It won't stop them for lng, but as long as I get Damon into the sunlight, they can't touch him. Can you do that for me?'

Elena took the bottle from her hands. 'I can do that.'

'Good. Stefan, last but not least. We need to send a message to them.'

'What do you want me to do?' He asked sternly.

'I told them all years ago if they touched Damon they would regret it. I want to make good on that promise. While I'm taking Damon outside, I want you to stake as many of them as you can. There are about ten of them. Take out as many as you can.'

'It would be my pleasure.'

'I'll come back in and help you finish the job.' Salette piled about 12 stakes on the table in front of her then looked at the others. 'We leave at sunrise.'

Damon opened his eyes to see the ceiling staring back. He closed them quickly, not wanting to remember where he was. His body was officially numb. He couldn't feel blood pumping and as long as he wasn't moving, he couldn't feel pain anymore. A light buzzing feathered over his skin, a little like pins and needles, only it felt very faint.

The sound of a door opening and closing mad his chest heavy. 'Just me.' Flicks voice sounded from the other side of the room. He heard her sitting down on one of the bean bags and relief set in. He had a few moments to lay still. He let his eyes roll towards her. He couldn't see much, as he didn't want to lift his head, but he did see that she was staring at him. 'It's almost dark, they'll al be back soon.'

That thought gave him chills. 'Great.' His voice was almost hollow.

Just as his words escaped his throat the front door opened. Karla walked inside. 'I'm exhausted.'

'Why?' Flick asked in a flat tone. She didn't really sound interested, more obligated to ask.

'You don't care, but I don't care that you don't care.' She smiled. 'I need to take my anger out on something.' She looked over at Damon who was lying with his eyes closed. 'You'll do.' She grinned as she walked towards him. She knelt down and dug her finger into one of the bite marks on his chest.

Damon groaned in pain. It was the first pain he'd felt that day. He'd done such a good job at staying perfectly still. She twisted her finger around causing the wound to open up and burn just a bit more. He yelped helplessly as she grabbed his hips in her hands and bit into the flesh on the inside of his thigh. That part of him was probably the most painful to be touched, he thought. The flesh had been bitten into so many times it felt raw and sensitive.

'Let me take these off.' She asked between bites. Pulling his boxer briefs down, she bit back into the now completely naked body, this time, just on his hip bone.

He gasped at the amount of pain that bite caused. H hadn't been bitten on the hip before and he never thought it would hurt that much. He cried out when she put her fingers into the wounds on his thighs while she bit him. The worst part about the whole situation was that he wasn't tied up. He simply couldn't move. His entire body was paralysed with pain. If he could only find the energy to push her off him, he would be free of her torment.

The pain worsened when she let her other hand push down on his leg, holding the muscle tightly in her hand. 'Please stop…' His voice was weak but he hoped she'd listen, just this once. 'It's hurting too much.' His eyes wandered over to Flick, who was watching Karla torture him. 'Please…' His voice was desperate now. He wasn't begging Karla, he was begging Flick to stop her.

She stared back at him. She had been questioning what the logic she had made up so long ago for some time now and watching Damon squirm in pain was enough to make her question it even more. Did his pain out? He wasn't human, but he still has emotions and he could still feel everything that was happening to him. Did the fact that he was a vampire lessen his rights to being treated fairly? Her eyes narrowed but shot back up again when she heard Damon cry out in agony. His cry was loud and it lingered. Before Karla had arrived he was quiet, he was peaceful and he was doing no harm. But from the moment she stepped in the door his desperate moans hadn't stopped. She and the others had caused this man more pain in 5 months than he had probably felt in a century.

She let her eyes narrow again. And yes… he pain did count. At least it counted to her. She frowned. All this time she had followed her sister around in an effort to stop her from hurting people. And maybe she wasn't hurting human beings, but she was still hurting people and that meant that Flick had failed. She stood up carefully. 'That's enough Karla.' She snapped.

Karla's eyes met Flick's. 'Excuse me?'

'He's exhausted and he needs to be fed.' Flick hadn't actually thought this move through, but anything was better than to hear Damon's gut-wrenching screams.

'I'm not finished.'

'Yes you are. Come back later when you're not taking out the nights anger on him.'

'Who made you the boss?'

'You did when you put me in charge of keeping him alive.'

Karla looked down at Damon who was panting shallow breaths. 'Whatever.' She stood up, kicking Damon in the side before she stormed out of the room.

Flick retrieved a blood bag from the other room and slowly knelt down next to Damon. 'Drink it.' She put the nozzle against his lips and squeezed the blood into his mouth.

He drank it slowly, making sure that his entire mouth was covered the liquid. It helped to ease the dryness in his mouth and throat. 'Thank you.' He asked quietly after finishing the bag.

'You're welcome.' Flicks voice was low and dark.

'You already fed me today. Why did you make her stop?' His voice was almost a whisper.

'I got tired of watching.' She answered. 'I thought about what you said.' She paused. 'And I think it does. I think your pain does count and I was just too foolish to see.'

Damon's heart started beating quicker. Adrenaline pumped through his veins. 'Will you help me?'

'I think I will.' Her voice was soft, possibly to stop Karla from hearing her. 'I'm sorry Damon. All I wanted to do was keep her from hurting anyone… She's beyond saving and that's the truth.' Her eyes narrowed. 'I'll help you Damon, because I need to make it up to you. You shouldn't be here.'

So guys I have a few questions! I've been thinking of a few plots to put in here. Should Flick die when Salette comes to same Damon? Should there be a little love story between Damon and Salette? What do you all think so far?

Review so I know you're all still reading and tell me what you guys wanna see. :):)
