Damon was sitting on his knees, in his cell, his hands chained above his head. Bonnie sat behind him and stroke with her middle finger over his naked back. It was pitch dark, but somehow she managed to see everything she needed to.
There was a small jar of a colorless liquid next to her. She dipped her index finger in it and pulled it out again. She waited five unbearable seconds wherein she could hear Damon’s hectic breathing. She placed her finger on his shoulder blade and starting from there she formed letters. Though Damon only groaned, she saw him grasping the chains and pull his back, which made it difficult for her to write.
“What…what are you…doing?” he said weak.
“Ssh” Bonnie hissed. “Don’t talk and sit still. I need to concentrate” Ignoring Damon clenching his teeth she continued her inscription, while blood streamed over his back like minuscule creeks. She purposely wrote immense slow to let him suffer even more and she wasn’t finished until she reached the bottom of his back.
“The pain’s going away, you know” Damon said with a whiff of his old sarcasm. “Eventually” He felt how Bonnie placed her hands on his burning shoulders and gasped. She bowed to his ear and whispered: “Not if I’m around to make sure you keep feeling it” She stood up and walked around Damon until she was standing in front of him. She bent down on her knees to be on eyesight with Damon and looked him in the eyes. Damon looked away, but was forced to look back at Bonnie. “Damon, I forbid you to show anyone what’s on your back” she said soft, but sharp. “Do you understand?”
Damon nodded.
“Now you need to be patient. Tonight you can hunt. But no humans” Bonnie said. “You know what happens when you harm people, then I would have to punish you and I don’t want to do that”
She walked passed him and walked out of the cell, leaving the door open. There was no need bothering closing it; the key of Damon’s prison involved something much less earthly than a door.

They heard the door close and wondered who came barging in, until a familiar, female and British voice solved the mystery.
“Anyone home?” Rebekah called from downstairs.
“Ugh” Damon sighed. “I’ll go” He stood up and walked to the door, but when he wanted to open it, the door was slammed in his face and Rebekah barged in. She held a guy in her right hand and a blood bag in her left hand.
“What are you doing here?” Elena asked tired.
“I came to apologize” Rebekah explained flighty, while she tossed the bag to Damon. “I was wrong to bite you. It’s just that I busted Stefan smooching with that vamp strumpet and you look like her, so I got carried away. I don’t understand what it is that draws Stefan to women with your appearances. You’re not even that pretty”
“I appreciate your honesty” Elena commented sarcastically.
“Hey, I’m as open as your legs were last night” Rebekah replied blunt and Elena’s cheeks turned red.

“You’re going to regret this” Rebekah said trembling. “That’s my necklace. I lost it, back in the twenties. On the night I met your brother” Klaus never said she couldn’t tell Damon.
“You’re lying” Damon replied supercilious.
“Am I, now?” Rebekah said slowly as she stepped closer to Damon. “Stefan knew how to experience all the perks of being a vampire. We had so much fun together, while you were probably sulking over your dear Katherine”
“And you’re telling me this, because?” Damon wondered.
“Stefan and I have a past, a present and if you back off and don’t pull of stunts like you just did, then we might have a future” Rebekah answered threatening.
“But pulling stunts is so fun” Damon replied.
“You don’t want be on my bad side, Damon” Rebekah threatened. Suddenly she gasped, her eyes bulged and her face turned dark grey.
“No” a female voice said. “But I do”
Rebekah fell down and Katherine appeared.
“You’re lying” Damon replied supercilious.

Rebekah fell down and Katherine appeared.
Damon raced outside and got into his car. He turned around the keys and drove onto the street. He then pushed the accelerator pedal and raced ahead.
He tried to keep his eyes open. He should have drunken some blood, if only just a little bit. He could almost feel his body breaking inside. But he had to stay awake long enough to get to the hospital.
Other drivers were hooting, because he drove from right to left and from left to right.
“Where did you get your driving license?!” someone yelled angry.
Damon felt his eyes fall down. The car drove for another few yards, while other drivers tried to avoid it.
Then the car drove off the road, turned over three times, landed on its upper side and caught fire.
