In the morning, we both went off to do our own thing. And I told him I'd still be here tonight. I wouldn't change places for another week. My internship would last six months and I was now two months into my internship. I got to the house that evening and Adam wasn't there. There was a bouquet of black roses on the living room table. I thought to myself, this is not going to fucking start again. A voice behind me said " Sleepytime." everything went black. I woke up tied to the table again. I didn't have a rib crusher or a stabber now. Damon was sitting on the bar stool again and said " Good morning again student. " Oh, this guy. Oh fuck, I thought to myself, alone. Damon looked at me and tapped his temple. Oh yeah, the telepath. You can't even fuck with your own head. Damon stood up and circled the table. He said " So you and I are married. But you're still spending time with Adam and you don't even want anything to do with me. I was a victim of a Siren. I can be strong but now I can't think of a single creature that can resist Siren. The whole reproduction thing was straight from the siren. You can believe it. Or not to believe it. it's great that you're studying to be a doctor, it really is, but darling, we could do it together. I could take another specialty. Really. But you don't want to. Adam, rather than me. I know exactly what I have or haven't done, but Darling, try to remember your wedding vows. This is just a little reminder. " He took the three knives again and began.
Ten strokes and a couple of ribs. And fucking brutal and many times. And now there wasn't even any medicine, he didn't even paralyze my vocal cords, he just whispered to me " Scream for me, baby." and I screamed. But somewhere in between something happened because he stopped and looked at me like a piece of meat and said " This just doesn't work, you won't learn with this. Fine. Let's use a little harder means." Then he put on the rib crusher and this was a new model he said " This, baby, this is a new model. You see. This is the kind of spiked wheels that are on here already. When those balls start moving again, they're going to move these spike wheels too. This is a little bit more of a ripped version. Now I'm going to turn off your sound for three days. Your punishment or your education will last for three days. Then you can speak if you can. Then only then will I stop if you ask. You must ask nicely that I stop. I'll teach you to ask, as well as you should. To know when the other is stronger and understand how to behave. And this stabber, this is another new model. You see. I put these connectors on and now there's a trickle of metals, sedatives, and herbs, and they're all slowly coming into you because these blades are the ones that when they strike, release the substance inside you. Enjoy baby, for three days straight these are going to be on. We'll see how good a wife we have then."
Damon turned on the damn machines and I thought, I'm not going to last three days, or if I do I'm not going to get a chance to say a word. Damon kept going around the table and talking. Talking about how my ribs are crushed and how I can even talk when my vest is tearing my skin and lungs apart. Or I'm so full of metals, herbs, and sedatives that I didn't have a clue anymore. How weak I am. Even though I can't be killed, I can't even really take it yet. But he can strengthen me. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And how good it would be if I left Adam alone or didn't have sex at all. When it seems to melt my brain away. How I'm a cock-sucking little whore if he doesn't keep me in line.
Damon was pretty much out loud for the whole three days and in the end I didn't know which was worse, the constant pain and agony or the fact that I had to listen to him pouring out all the time, then he came up with more ways to hurt me. He got a big hammer and started beating me with it, first, my fingers were crushed when he saw my healing ability was fading, then my palms, wrists, toes, feet, ankles. They were terribly nice to move around afterward. At no point did he give me any medicine. He crushed my hands up to my elbows and my feet to my knees. He kept looking at me like a piece of meat and smelled like a wet dog. He was obviously in a rage and then took it out on me. I thought, let it go. I'll get over it and when the three days were up I was told
" Please, could you please just stop? I'm hurt and I'm sorry. If you could just help me get better a little bit. " He stood up as the world conqueror and took the equipment off the wall, he untied it off me and tied some bandages around me. He put my legs and arms in the vacuum packs and carried me to the car. Then we drove back to the Oklahoma house. He carried me into the bedroom to the bed and left. Fine, that was a big help. Well, let's get some rest. Mirella said in my head " Wait a minute and I'll do something to help you heal and put you to sleep so you can rest." After a while, I felt pressure behind my eyes. Mirella said " Bite your own lip. " I bit my bottom lip and felt the pressure ease. My lips tingled and I started to feel tired. I fell asleep with my lips still in my teeth.
Damon wondered what on earth drove him to turn a perfectly good teaching session into torture. And what on earth drove him to suddenly make Mimi beg? He'd been drinking bourbon for two days straight now and thought "No shit, I've got to go see Mimi. It's not going to get any better. What the fuck is going on in my head when I can't get anything right." Damon was in a hurry and went into the bedroom. Mimi was asleep. She had her own bottom lip between her teeth and Damon could smell the dental substance dripping steadily. Oh my God. That girl doesn't understand herself.
He went and opened Mimi's mouth and released her lip from her distress. He picked up one of the jars and put it on Mimi's teeth. a purple liquid flowed out of it with little crystals or glitter in it. How to remove the metals. Clever. He removed the vacuum casts, which had left her legs and arms in a pretty bad position to repair and yet they were ossified. That's the stuff. Some kind of healing booster and not when a place is crushed. Fine. Damon carried Mimi to the medbay, gave her a good strong cocktail of various drugs to keep her unconscious and pain-free, and started the brutal work. First the legs and arms. He had to break almost every bone to get them in the right position.
He called Samuel when he started work and by the time he'd got his legs in order, Samuel came. He didn't ask and Damon didn't explain. Samuel started to put the arms in shape then. They did the chest together. The rib fracture had ossified so badly and they had to remove everything, every rib and sternum. And wait for new ones to grow in their place. Damon gave eight different types of dental material and eventually, the rib cage was stable. Mimi would be fine. As long as he explained it to her when he didn't always understand it himself. Why he did what he did. He reacted. He knew that, and often quickly, impulsively, and violently, but still. Why. Mimi would probably be sore, at least in her stomach, they had tied up all the herb and all the metal. The drugs would now keep Mimi asleep for a few more days in the medbay because there had been something other than velvet, so Mimi didn't keep her body temperature up.
I woke up incredibly sore and tender but again feeling like I was cured. I was in Medbay. Last I remember, Damon carried me to my bed and left me there. Mirella made some medicine that at least put me to sleep. But fine. I sat up and realized I was still completely medicated, so I didn't go to the wash. I didn't know if I wanted to eat because my stomach was sore. I went for a walk and I heard voices. Damon and Samuel were in the kitchen. I went over there. The men turned around and Damon said " My young lady, you should still be sleeping. You're all drugged up, how about you turn over and go back to sleep?" I shook my head and said. "I don't want to sleep anymore. I want to be awake. I should get back to my training at some point." Damon came over to me and directed me to a table to sit down. He said " Fine, let's get you some food then, don't worry I'm not going to stuff you full because you're all sore yet, but if the food would help. " I got steak, soup, a drink, a meatloaf, and a chocolate cake. I was pretty full and exhausted. I didn't resist when Damon took me back to bed and tucked me in. Then he sat next to me long enough for me to fall asleep. To the smell of passionfruit, I knew he wasn't mad at me anymore, at least not now.
The next time I woke up, I was much better. Apparently, I had been asleep for two days. Amazing, I could still hear Salvatore talking to Adam and Samuel now, he was still in the house. I went to the kitchen again and got more food. This time it actually perked me up, not made me tired. After I had eaten I took a shower and oh my goodness I got and cleaned myself up. Somehow I felt so dirty. Then I went out again and thought I'd go to the gym. I had good workout clothes. I'd found some good high-waisted jeans with a good snug sports bra and a technical tee shirt. I put on a pair of good sneakers and I was ready to go.
Adam Samuel and Damon met me on my way to the gym and Damon said "Those jeans, I'm going to tear those up one day. ' Adam came up to me and glued me to the wall, and tried to find my shirt hem, which I had tucked neatly inside my jeans. He felt around and felt my bra. He said, "You know what Mimi? I think of bras as a sign of seduction on you." I smiled at all three of them and said. "Boys boys, I'm going to the gym now to work out. I'm not doing anything other than a little workout, you guys should probably continue in the kitchen. You know I'm going to need some nutrition when I'm done. Just go ahead and start cooking me some more goodies. '
Damon came over and glued me to the wall, pressing me right up against it. He said in my ear in an extremely silky, dangerous voice "Mimi, don't boss me around and tell me what to do." Oh my God, when I don't learn. Such a good phrase came into my head and I had to get it out "Damon, I'm not really into begging. Sometimes it's just better to give direct, clear instructions so it's not too complicated for you to follow." I had just recovered from a good temper tantrum and should I not go open my head again? Damon was still on me and said " You better learn to negotiate or..." He pressed down on my liver pretty fucking hard and broke two of my ribs before breaking free. Fine. I walked gracefully into the gym and kept my mouth shut. Me and my sentence.
I started practicing. Punches kicks, strikes, and jumps in different sets. Then Damon was suddenly there and we were back to fighting for real. And for a long time. Then it started to go back to Mr. Salvatore ripping my shirt open. Fine, then there's the open shirt. He knocked me down and started frantically undoing the buttons on my jeans. I stood up. Now, we have a rule that what you can undo, you don't put back on. But these jeans had quite a few buttons, and these were like a second skin on me. Damon then had to rip my shirt off, fine I still have my bra on. Damon's shirt was already in strips. Then my bra came off. Then he again knocked me down and went at my jeans starting to shred them with his vampire claw so that he had me naked.
He quickly undressed and attacked me, kissing me as hard as he could. He pushed into me half forcefully and I had no choice but to accept the huge hot intruder inside me. I was so full and he was aroused, and I was then not at all. No, this girl wasn't passionate, to begin with. I bit and marked and we fucked again with a fury that neither of us had been able to release for a while. We were uninhibited, brazen, and passionate. We needed this. I didn't even realize at what point we had gotten to our master bedroom but yes we did spend time there. Two months. We fucked all over the house, across the floor, and up the stack. Adam was with us part of the time and I let my vampire side come out from time to time. Though it was quickly and effectively put down by the power of Salvatore. He obviously couldn't be bothered to play with that side now.
I lay on top of Damon again and said. "Why can't we just be and live our everyday lives? Why does there always have to be some drama or crisis and we end up together? Why can't everyday life just work out for the two of us?" Damon was quiet for a moment, sighed, and said " How about it baby, let's make it work. Let's go somewhere, just the two of us, and live a normal life. " I thought for a moment and said " England, let's go to England. I want the judge's papers from there too. That's everyday life if I'm working somewhere during the day and then I always come back" Damon looked at me and said, "What if I get myself a judging license too?" I smiled and said " Fine by me. Let's see how long we can be together. Will there be a new record?"
