When Night Comes

Dr. Wes

Edited:

I was sitting on a couch waiting for Bonnie to meet me when I was interrupted by a young man with a charming smile.

"Hello." He greets. I gave him a smile and look down at the magazine again.

"How far along are you?" He asked.

"8 months I think." I said, not looking up.

"You think? When is the last time you've had an appointment?" He asked. I remembered the bayou appointment that almost killed me.

"When I was a few months." I said.

"I could give you some supplements. Or anything else. I'm a doctor myself." He proceeded. I sighed loudly and set my magazine down.

"Listen, bucko. I'm not interested in what ever plot you're trying to bring me into. So, if you're trying something on me, give me better excuses." I said with a fake smile.

He chuckled and began to pull out his phone.

"I was told you're stubborn. A quality you share with your boyfriend." My smile dropped and I gave him an angry look. He showed me a video on his phone.

It was a big room with medical equipment all over. But, what really caught my attention was Elena laying on a table in the middle of the room with tubes in her arms.

"If you don't come with me, you can say goodbye to your vampire friend." I clenched my jaw and followed him angrily towards my best friend.

When we got into the room I quickly rushed to her side and saw her passed out and weak. I placed my hand on her face and frowned.

"Since you're very much pregnant, and I know your child's father is merciless..I'll give you the opportunity to sit willingly on the table so I can start." Dr. Wes said. I rolled my eyes and sat on the table next to Elena, my eyes not leaving her.

He didn't warn me and harshly stuck a needle into my arm. I hissed in pain and watched the blood flow into the bag. His eyes widened as it did so.

"Magnificent..the color, black as night.." he said into his recording. When he turned around I mocked him silently.

"4.1 pints drained. 83182 still shows signs of consciousness. Note that 15 years ago subject 12144 faded into unconsciousness after losing 2.9 pints. Evolution or luck? Mystery for another day." He added.

I saw Elena wake up and struggle against her restraints. When she saw me her mouth opened to say words but she chose not to say them.

"What are you doing to us?" She asked.

"Relax. I planned to once I'm through with you." He said.

"Our friends are gonna find us." She said.

"Your heroic vampire friends? Did you know Aaron Whitmore spent his entire life thinking his family was haunted by some death curse? Turns out that curse was your boyfriend systematically killing every member of his family tree. I'm curious. How does one justify that in her mind?"

"And this, holding people against their well. How do you justify that?" I asked.

"Science. June 25, 1995. Incredible findings today. After enduring 3000 V of electricity, the subject continues to have heartbeat. June 26. More progress. Subject had 4,000 V today. Seizing continues after electrocution. Flash remains hot to the touch."

"You're a monster." I spit.

"This isn't my journal, Aurora. These are the handwritten medical findings of Dr. Grayson Gilbert, her father. Everything I'm doing to you I learned from him." I gulped and looked at Elena who was already looking at me in sadness.

"And what are you, Miss Aurora? No werewolf, no vampire, not a hybrid. What supernatural gene flows through your blood?" Wes asked.

"I'm a shapeshifter. I can look like, sound like, and smell like anyone I want. Including your very own dead mother." I spit saying the last part in a motherly tone I've seen on TV once. It must've sounded just like her Bc he looked at me in anger.

"I've read about you. Dirty, manipulative creatures. I guess according to what I've also heard about your mother...the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." I charged for him but he held onto my neck, a burning sensation pained into my skin as I whimpered in pain.

"Liquidized silver...a clever trick against your kind." He held up his hand that was dripping in this substance. Then, He pushed me on the table and strapped me down like he did for Elena.

"Don't hurt her!" I heard Elena yell. When he was done strapping me down he smirked and grabbed a knife.

My heart dropped, thinking that he was about to hurt my child. But, he brought the knife over to Elena and began making incisions in her arm.

But, instead of her feeling pain, I began to. I groaned as I felt the blade tear into my skin without actually doing so.

Wes's eyes widened and he pulled out his recorder.

"Subject 84573's blood seems to be a black color, apart from her vampire neighbors. She also takes the pain of the other subject without me laying a finger on her. Has the manipulation of her voice to change into any tone she chooses."

It seems hours went by before I woke up again.

"Good news. The sample cells mutated. My compound worked." I heard Wes say.

"English." I mumbled.

"You've heard of Pavlov. He conditioned his dog to salivate at the sound of a bell. This compound is like that they'll except instead of a day in your body will celebrate at the smell of vampire blood."

"Oh, my God. That's what you did to Jesse. You turned him into a rabid vampire who only drinks from other vampires." Elena said.

"Jesse was a fantastic case study but he took too long to condition, and considering the size of the vampire population, a single dose injection is much more efficient." He began filling up the syringe and i felt my stomach drop.

"Yeah, but he couldn't stop feeding. He tried to kill Damon." I said quickly.

"Exactly. Vampires are now one shot away from craving their own kind, and you're about to be patient zero."

"What, no. No, you can't do that. You'll turn her into a ripper." I said pulling at my cuffs.

"I know.... subject 8318 to prep for compound injection."

"No. Please. You can do this to me."

"Don't touch her!" I yelled.

"You'll be doing the world a favor, Elena. I might not be able to kill vampires but you will. Aurora's blood gave me more abilities to create the first mass destructive supernatural creature. You'll be unstoppable." He said.

"No!" I screamed. He shoved the syringe in her chest just as we heard Stefan call for her.

"Stefan!" She yelled. Then, she head butted Wes to knock him out. Stefan came running down seconds later.

He came to me, undoing my cuffs and then we both helped Elena out of the room.

I pulled out my phone and noticed the 17 missed calls and messages from Klaus. I quickly called him back and only had to wait 2 rings before he answered.

"Hello, love."
