Who: Damon Salvatore What: Damon is fulfilling his promise to Lucifer that he will send one hundred people to sell their souls in exchange for Caroline’s freedom. Where: The Salvatore penthouse When: After Damon has his talk with Lucifer
Damon sat opposite one of the human beings Caroline and he had taken into their home in exchange for blood. He locked eyes with her, trying to be gentle about what he was about to do. Once they looked into each other’s eyes the connection was made - Damon could make her do anything he wanted.
“You’re going to go to the first crossroads you can find.” He wanted to stop, but Caroline’s freedom was on the line. “Find a way to summon a demon. Sell your soul for Caroline’s freedom. Tell the demon that Damon Salvatore sent you.” With a blink the connection was severed. The girl smiled at Damon, unaware that his will had become hers.
“I’m going to go to the crossroads.” She chirped happily, hopping to her feet and leaving the penthouse. Damon nodded, forcing a smile onto his face as she left. Once she was out of sight he slumped down into the couch cushions, his head between his knees. He knew that what he was doing was horribly wrong, but he believed that Caroline’s freedom was worth it.
She could never know what he was doing for her. Damon couldn’t bear Caroline despising him for the evil he was doing. All she would have to know was that, somehow, he’d freed her. Wasn’t that enough?
“You,” He gestured to a young man who had been staying with them for the past week or so. “Come here.”
