[ deep breaths, elena. you can be unemotional about this. just the facts. ]
In the 1950s, one of the Salvatores sold Damon out to the Augustines. One of the Whitmores held him captive from 1953 to 1958 and conducted experiments on him and another vampire named Enzo -- all Damon told me was that they were experimenting with vampire healing, and that they cut his eyes out at least once, but I'm guessing there was more involved. During the new year in 1958, Damon finally got out, but he had to leave Enzo behind, and because he cared about him so much, he had to turn off his humanity to do it.
The reason I was going to bring it up is because... Stefan didn't come looking for him during all the time he was held there in the 50s, and Damon was stuck in the cells with me. I don't know if anyone would have been able to find us -- I don't know if the Damon I left behind there even got out.
[ she'd tried to remind collected while she was relaying the information, but by now her voice is shaking, and she is visibly upset. the thought of what the damon she left behind must be going through... she's been trying not to think about it, but it's tearing her up. ]
