Damon Salvatore was in two minds about it, once he'd seen that Spike and Drusilla were back in the picture when the morons kidnapped this werewolf woman, he decided to go follow them out of sheer boredom. Damon was over a thousand years old. Experienced and seen a lot.
He had fallen in love a few decades ago with someone who resembled one of his old girlfriends. They'd had a relationship with this human girl, she'd turned into a vampire but then decided she wanted to be human. Damon had also taken a substance that would make him temporarily human, for a few decades, even if he didn't age so much. They were going to start a family and everything was going to be like a storybook, or a TV show, Damon mused sourly. The love triangle that had been in that stupid fucking TV show was much more drastic in real life, even though he ended up marrying Elena, Stefan was who Elena wanted and Elena was who Stefan wanted. Stefan had also turned himself into a human being and was living happily with Caroline Forbes. They had been doing well, but then Elena got in the way and shoved herself between Stefan and Caroline, got herself pregnant by Stefan, and then maliciously claimed to Damon that the child was his.
Even the child's name was suggestive, Stephanie Salvatore. Damon tried to be a good husband and tried to make it all work. He even went to medical school and enrolled as an anesthesiologist so that Elena, a top surgeon, could spend time with him. But no, the more Damon gave in, the more Elena played tricks on him. When Stephanie was 9, she fell into drugs. Damon did everything he could, taking her to rehab only to discover that Elena had gotten Stephanie out of there. When Stephanie then died 4 days before her 15th birthday of a heroin overdose. Elena blamed Damon.
Damon had had enough and left Elena. He didn't divorce her, but he did walk away. When even Stefan didn't care for Elena because he had patched things up with Caroline, Elena started drinking. Elena had died of alcohol poisoning a couple of months earlier and Damon had just got everything sorted out. He felt like he too could go to the coffin and sleep for a century.
He followed Spike and Drusilla to an old factory and hid in the shadows. Damon was just beginning to feel his vampire side waking up again and it wouldn't be many years before it was fully awake. He had the ability to blend into the shadows and not be seen. He watched at first as the vampires took turns feeding on the werewolf and decided to see what they would do. Damon was shocked at the amount of pure silver they were able to infuse into this woman and she was still alive. when they then packed her in a silver cage and Damon smelled her skin burning, he decided to do something. He waited for the vampire duo to get down to fucking and then went to the cage. But he couldn't reach the cage because it was enchanted. "'Shit,' Damon thought. " Hey, you awake?" he tried to ask, but the shivering creature probably didn't even notice his presence. Damon pulled out a business card he had found in the dead man's pocket. The man had obviously been a bodyguard of some sort. Damon said, " Hey, I'm gonna go out and call for help. Hang on." No answer.
The cage touched, and I felt my skin burn and then my muscles. Soon the wounds were all the way to the bone in places. I thought I heard someone talking but when I finally got my head up there was no one in the cage. I thought this was the most horrible, if not the second most horrible experience besides my creation.
Adam was in a panic. He had just received a call from one of his employees, telling him that they had received a call from a man who had claimed that Mimi's bodyguard had been attacked and killed and that Mimi had been kidnapped and stuffed with silver and was currently in some satanic warehouse in an enchanted silver cage. The story was quickly verified and Adam frantically wondered what he could do about it. He was on the other side of America. Damn, he was in Hawaii and the flight would last for ages. Eventually, he called Nicholas and Elias. They promised to go and help and they had a magician who could certainly break the spell. Salvatore would be redundant. From the Michaelsons, Salvatore was a snob, a smug playboy who had slept with more women than them combined, at one time Salvatore had even sold himself. The vampires took their wizard and went on their way.
Dresden rarely got commissions from vampires but now it had been a dry season and any gig would do. Yeah yeah yeah he could take the charm off a silver cage. These vampires didn't offer too many details and Dresden figured this must be some sex game gone wrong. it wouldn't be a terribly difficult gig and the bounty was substantial.
Adam told Bran to fend for himself with Charles, went to the airport, and took the first flight to Arizona. Adam wanted to take care of Mimi. Samuel looked for a replacement and found an Irish doctor who was like Colin Farrell in appearance, this doctor's name was Collin Ferrel so there wasn't much difference, so he called himself Colin Farrell. Samuel set off driving from Quebec towards Arizona. He couldn't wait at the airport, he had to get moving.
I was in the cage, I thought I heard a noise again but when I just finally got my head up there was no one there. Damon went to talk to the lady in the cage again. " Hey, I've called for help, it'll take a while, that cage is enchanted, so I can't help, sorry." The creature moved a little and Damon heard a rustling sound and went to check that the horror duo hadn't stirred. Shit, they were. Nicholas put up a message "'Eta 2 h. wizard included." Damon cursed. He couldn't go after them because Drusilla was a witch and very famous for her love potions and spells. Damon didn't want to end up a slave to any more women. Drusilla and Spike went to the cage. Spike now took the drip racks with the aconitum and cleverly inserted a cannula between the bars of the cage and opened the drip to the full.
When the aconitum hit my vein I started screaming, I was surprised myself that I was making a sound, but it burned and tore so badly I could no longer contain myself. Spike was relentless. He always found a cannula and made more poison flow into my insides. I started vomiting, vomiting out silver, blood, and bile. Then they took me out and started kicking and punching me. I couldn't scream anymore, I didn't even try to defend myself. I just lay on the floor, vomiting more and more silver aconitum and more and more blood. I was also coughing up silver blood sputum from time to time.
After Spike finished draining 8 liters of aconitum, he removed the now empty bags and opened the cage door. He dragged her to the floor and started kicking. Drusilla joined in. Spike put his shoe on the woman's side and pushed her down. There was a series of cracks as the ribs snapped. The woman vomited silver, aconitum, and blood. Then the woman coughed weakly and blood spurted from her lips.
Damon cursed harshly in his mind. That woman wouldn't last much longer. He posted a video for the vampires and wrote Hurry! When Nicholas heard his phone beep and looked at it for a moment, he told Elias, "Now hurry up and lots of it." Then he showed the video clip to Elias. The vampire squeezed the steering wheel so it compressed, he pressed the gas pedal to the floor and Dresden asked the back seat " What's the matter now?". Nick looked at Elias for a moment, who nodded. Nick then explained the whole thing to Dresden and also showed him the video. Dresden turned pale and was silent. " Maybe we should hurry up," he said calmly.
The kicking and thrashing seemed to go on forever, Spike then again dragged me to the table, not even bothering to restrain me as he began to wrap me in wrappings which Drusilla lovingly soaked in aconitum silver mixture. They had already wrapped me up to my waist when Spike said " Did you hear that? Do we have company?" Spike fastened the shackles and they set off to explore.
Nicholas and Elias arrived at the warehouse. They heard Spike asking the Drusilla for something every now and then, then they smelled silver, aconitum, and blood and as they got closer they heard a faint whimpering sound that erupted every now and then from Mimi's lips. Damon came close to them. "I'll lure those idiots away and you save that girl." Nick said as if in passing "Mimi." Damon slipped like a ghost into the night and drew the attention of Drusilla and Spike. Nick and Elias and Dresden sprang into action. They quickly went to the table, unhooked the shackles, and began feverishly ripping the wraps off. They were stuck to Mimi. Mimi started screaming.
When I realized that Nick and Elias were there, my relief was immense. Then they started removing the bandages and I started screaming again. Nick put his hand over my mouth. " Shh, shh I know it hurts but try to be quiet." Dresden came over to the table and muttered. Then he said, she's resistant to magic, I can't get her to sleep. Elias took a syringe from his jacket pocket and pushed it into one of the cannulas and emptied it in there. The pain began to fade at the same rate as my consciousness. I didn't completely black out, however, as the vampires continued to remove the bandages.
Eventually, they got the rest of the bandages ripped off. Dresden looked at the vampires for a moment and said "I could probably get most of the silver out of her but it's not going to be pleasant". Nick said, " Fine do it so you can at least get some of it off". Elias took another syringe and emptied that into one of the cannulas as well. Mimi relaxed considerably. Nick touched Mimi on the shoulder and shook her. Mimi did not react. "Do it now, while she's sleeping," Nick said tensely. Dresden came over to Mimi, put his hand on Mimi's stomach, and started to pronounce some unknown language. Dresden put his other hand on one of the vessels and the chanting intensified. Dresden's fingertips began to ooze silver and Mimi's body began to arch and writhe. The flow of silver continued and accelerated. When the bucket was full of silver. Dresden sighed and stopped. "Now I can't do it anymore, I can't." He said. "'But Mimi has at least another ten liters stuffed in her," Nick said excitedly. "Then it'll have to be taken out another way or wait because I can't, that's a bloody heavy job to pull the metals out."
Removing the silver hurt. As Elias shoved more medicine into me, I fell into a deep sleep only to wake up almost immediately to the feeling that every molecule of my body was being ripped apart. The ripping force continued and the silver moved inside me, also moving the aconitum. The feeling was beyond pain. Eventually, the feeling stopped and I sighed deeply. There was less silver, I felt it because I felt lighter and my heart started beating which again was not a good thing in itself as it was circulating the fucking Aconitum. The men wrapped me up in a blanket and carried me to the car.
Damon watched from the shadows as the men carried the woman wrapped in the blanket. He had heard her screams and he almost swore he had felt the pain of the metal being ripped from her. Damon sighed and disappeared back into the shadows, well a day or a month's good deed done, he mused to himself. Drusilla and the Spike would not be a problem. He'd ambushed, snapped the necks of both of them, and tossed them into the garbage truck.
