Chapter 17 - I'm just Admiring!

Asher did a whole bunch of nothing the rest of the day, he just speedran a few shows in Netflix and occasionally went up to check on his favourite little vampire.

'Hmm I guess it's time for that charity car wash, I should probably volunteer for that.' Asher thought with a stifled yawn.

'Actually I should probably check up on Henry.' He muttered in his mind as he walked towards the sex dungeon.

Opening up the door, he was met with the pale and sickly figure of Henry. "That werewolf venom is taking a toll on you huh?"

He said out loud as he sat opposite to Henry who was facing downwards, he struggled to keep his eyes open and constantly fluttered his eyes.

"In the first two hours following a werewolf bite, the vampire shows no sign of dying. But at the four hour mark, the vampire's senses are heightened and they start craving blood like anything in the hopes of it curing the venom."

Asher said with a pause and let out a sigh, he looked at the drowsy Henry who started taking more time to open his eyes.

"At the six hour mark they'll fully go rabid and will start lashing out like a wild animal, until they receive blood. Which doesn't cure them of course.

"At the ten hour mark, their body starts hallucinating, I still haven't figured out why this happens. Anyways by the twenty hour mark, their body starts shutting down and tries to preserve energy, in hopes of combating the venom. And four hours after that, they die."

Asher said as he dragged his finger through Henry's body and reached his neck, "Well I'm not gonna let that happen now am I?"

He gave a smile before his finger turned red. In an instant the area in contact with Asher's figure turned deep red as the veins protruding throughout Henry's body started receding.

Within moments, colors started returning to Henry's figure as he let out a whimper.

Asher beamed at his healthy physique before he got up from his seat and stretched his body, "I'll let you rest for now, if I torture you too much you'll break, and that's something we don't want, right?"

With that said, he exited the cellar.

Outside the cellar, a weak groan resounded from a room as Asher heard his name being called. His eyebrows slightly raised as he moved towards the cell.

From the bars of the door, he could see the pale and collapsing figure of Damon who let out soft mewls of help.

"As–As–Asher... help." Damon softly cried out.

Asher pouted at his words and leaned against the door, "Buddy I would love to help you, but see I'm neutral. I am not going to interfere in squabble with your brother. That's why I didn't interfere when you were choking Zach."

He gave a pause and let his words sink in, before he gave Damon an opportunity, "If you're able to escape from here, I have a proposal, but only if you are able to break out. Anyways I'm late for that charity thingy."

Damon's mouth went as dry as sand as he resisted the urge to curse Asher's departing figure out.

"..."

"So why have you been brooding, Bennet? Are your powers malfunctioning?" Asher teased Bonnie slightly as he dunked his cloth in a bucket of soap.

"Haha, very funny." Bonnie muttered sarcastically as she whistled at Asher's figure.

He wore a black tank top, which showed his defined physique. He had a lean and built figure which was slightly bulky in her opinion. He wore a pair of navy blue trousers which clung to his muscular calves.

His shaggy black hair was parted to a side as sweat trickled down his toned frame. 'He's kinda hot.' Bonnie whispered in her mind.

"Don't objectify me!" Asher spoke aloud which broke Bonnie's train of thought. She rolled her eyes and got back to work.

She bent down slightly causing her brown bikini to slightly lean down. Asher raised his eyebrows and glanced at her amazing figure, "Who's objectifying who right now?"

Her soft voice rang out as Asher diverted his eyes, "I was just admiring." Bonnie nodded her head and hummed at his words.

"Same here." She said with a smile.

"Anything new happening?" Asher asked in between cleaning the car, "Other than someone ogling me, nothing much, what about you?."

Asher scoffed as he dunked the cloth inside the water before wringing it. "Other than getting a dog my life has been pretty much the same."

Their conversation was stopped by a black haired girl approaching them, she had chocolate skin with her hair falling down to her face.

She was thin and frail but that had a certain beauty to it. She wore a yellowish brown bikini and had a smirk on her face while she approached them.

"Sweeper duty, you have to clean." Her voice was arrogant as the smirk on her face widened.

Bonnie scoffed as she pulled a few strands of hair from her face, "It's a car wash, by definition the pavement is clean."

The girl shook her head and continued, "It isn't dry though." Bonnie scoffed as her face puffed up, "Who made you in charge, Tikki?"

"Caroline bailed so that leaves me in charge." Tikki said with an arrogant grin as she handed a broom to Bonnie and bailed.

Asher looked at her with a schadenfreude smile, "Are you enjoying this?!" Bonnie asked in a grumpy tone as she started to clean the pavement.

"A little bit, what did you do to piss her off, that's my question." Asher asked her as he walked over and grabbed a nearby broom.

"Nothing much, a spray exploded in her face and she's blaming me for that!" Bonnie said with inherent irritation.

"Sounds like she's a bitch, I'll help." Asher looked at her departing figure and muttered to himself, he pulled the broom close to himself and started scrubbing with Bonnie.

After a while, the charity quickly closed as they raised up to 1200 dollars, it wasn't much in terms of hospital bills but it was better than nothing.

Asher quickly left after the charity ended and headed back to the Salvatore brothers house. Within moments of pulling up to the driveway, his nose smelled the hint of blood and death.

Asher's eyes narrowed as he quickly made his way inside the house and went close to the cellar, approaching Damon's cell, he saw the sight of Zach having his head snapped to the side, as it twisted in an unholy manner.

The door to his cell was also left open with no presence inside, "Seems like he escaped." Asher muttered to himself with a grin.
