Five days later.
Derek was rushing through the kitchen, setting the breakfast টেবিল when slow footsteps were heard on the stairs. Derek raced to the stairs and tried to help Damon keep his balance. Damon tried to push him away, but was too weak.
“I made breakfast” Derek said.
“Gee, thanks” Damon mumbled sarcastic. He shuffled to the রান্নাঘর and fell down on a chair. He looked down at the টেবিল and picked up the blood bag. “This is breakfast?” he asked Derek.
“You have to drink it, Damon” Derek insisted. “It’s been five days. আপনি will die if আপনি don’t”
Damon shrugged. “Then I guess I will” he ব্যক্ত careless. “Elena’s blood is the last blood I’ve drunk”
“You didn’t drink her blood” Derek exclaimed. How many times did he have to say it? “There were two women in your room. One sounded exactly like Elena, probably the chick I met in that bar on Elena’s birthday, remember?”
Damon frowned. “You mean Katherine?”
“I guess, if that’s her name” Derek said. “And then there was another one with a British accent”
“Rebekah” Damon said. He shook his head confused. “I don’t get it. Where আপনি there?”
“No, but I heard everything” Derek ব্যক্ত with big eyes. “Rebekah forced আপনি to watch how Katherine did something to Elena, something painful. And then Katherine compelled Elena to think আপনি attacked her and Rebekah compelled আপনি to think the same. And she compelled আপনি to stop drinking any kinds of blood”
Damon looked at him as if he was gone mad. “That” he said. “is a whole load of crap”
“But it’s the truth” Derek ব্যক্ত desperate.
“Sure it is” Damon ব্যক্ত hoarse. He rubbed his eyes. “If আপনি don’t mind I’m going to lay on the পালঙ্ক a bit”
He got up difficult and staggered to the sitting room.
