[Damon is the monster. He's the predator. He doesn't get scared anymore, but he was scared in these cells. It was endless fear and then endless pain, and then the two mixed together until he thought he'd lose his mind, and he refused to ever be put in a position like that again so now all the Augustine are dead. It was fear of being caught up in that fire or trapped again by the Augustine that had him walking away from Enzo. He locks his jaw.]

Sometimes they put vervain on the bars. Then it was really difficult, and they never gave you enough blood to be strong.

[It's a low admittance, but at least he sounds calmer even if he swears he can hear footsteps. Abruptly the doors of their cells open as if Damon just admitting what he knew about the Augustine was enough to open it.]

That was too easy. [It's not over yet. The caves are a maze instead of what they usually are. He moves out from his cell and towards Caroline's.]
