As he looked at Damon walking away and going back up the stairs the tied-up vampire said nothing but kept looking at Damon hatefully.

Damon returned upstairs still holding the handle of the broken cup.
As he entered the kitchen, the rest of the pack including Bella had already gotten up and arrived in the kitchen, making their own breakfast.
But as Damon entered everyone's attention gathered on him as they looked at him weirdly.
Damon noticed their stares but proceeded to throw the handle in his hands in the garbage, then takes another cup and pours another cup of coffee while the others stare at him.
Seemingly having enough, Damon finally asked.
"What's the matter? You guys have been staring at me weirdly since I entered the room." said Damon
"..."
No one answered.
" You do know everyone in this house has super hearing right?" asked Rosalie as she continued to drink her tea.
" Of course I know, I turned most of them didn't I?" asked Damon.
" Then what you did in the basement was done knowing everyone could hear you?" asked Rosalie.
"....."
' Shit, they heard I didn't think they would be awake, especially Max.' thinks Damon as he sees Max in the corner trying and ultimately failing to hold back his laughter.
"Hahahahahahaha." Unable to hold back his laughter anymore Max laughed as he rolled around on the floor.
But his laughter broke the tense atmosphere, what followed after was the laughter of everyone present including Rosalie and Bella.
"....."
Damon stood there, embarrassed at the current situation, he couldn't even think of anything that could divert their attention to something else.
"I'm a gentleman so I cnat torture you, I'll come back after you lose some more blood and your mouth is a bit looser." Said Max in a mocking tone, repeating what Damon said to the tied-up vampire before he left.
"Hahahahaha! I bet he thought it sounded so cool when he said it too" Said Max
In response, the others just laughed harder and harder, it was clear that they found the whole situation funny.
'This bastard he isn't going to let go of this anytime soon.' thinks Damon
"Tch, you weren't supposed to hear that." says Damon.
"So what, is that supposed to make it better?" asked Max
"You're an ass, I'll remember this, don't think I won't get you back."
After saying this Damon left returning to the basement.
Currently, his mood wasn't the best, his good mood had been ruined by Max and his antics.
Damon was now standing in front of the tied-up vampire once again, only this time he had no intention, of wasting his time.
"Hey, just tell me what I want to know and I'll kill you quickly."
"....."
Damon received no response, but it didn't seem to bother him much as he went on to ask his first question.
"I know I said questions, but I really only have one, so answer it quickly, cause as you can see I'm not in a good mood." said Damon
"What I want to know is simple, and affects your master in no way not positive or negative, all I want is to know how he was made." says Damon.
"....."
He watched Damon, he knew his death was just a matter of time, even if by some miracle he wasn't killed here the chances of him staying alive after reporting to his master was zero.
"I've already given up on life, I tell what you want or not, I'm dead anyway, the choices lead to the same fate, painful or not I'll end up dead."
Hearing this Damon responded with a shrug.
"So what, you want me to not kill you, you should know that is not possible, no matter what you are going to die today, it could be peaceful or I could make it very painful, and trust me you don't want me to do that if I do the only end is you begging for death as a release from the pain." says Damon as his eyes shined with Malicious intent.
"...."
"Fine, I'll talk."
"Oh, that simple?"
"Truth be told, the vampires aren't loyal to him at all, we only follow him because there is no alternative, he is the most powerful being alive so we cant run nor can we resist, all we can do is submit and hope to live long enough to enjoy our immortal life."
"Aren't loyal, doesn't he have some level of control over the ones he turned?"
"Of course he does, but it matters not, time has made him arrogant and foolish, he no longer uses the connection he has with us to keep us in check, he knows we have no choice but obey him, after all the only alternative would be death.
With the powerful hold, he has over the ones he directly turned, he couldn't care less if you carry thoughts of betraying him after all when he could kill you with but a thought from any distance would our thoughts matter to him?"
"I guess not, but you said Directly turned does it not apply to those not turned directly from him?"
"It doesn't, the further the generation is from him the less control he has over them, those turned by him are considered the first generation, while those turned by us are the second, and so on, it stands to reason that his connection with the 7th generation will be far weaker than what he has with the second, this decreases the power he has over them but also increases the flaws they have, which is why vampires in the later generation sparkle in the sun, and have other flaws."
"Makes sense."
"What would happen if another original vampire appeared?"
"That's impossible, the witches have long since gone into hiding, or have been killed off, there is no longer any way to create another original vampire." he says with regret.
"But what if there was another?"
"There isn't."
"What if there was?"
"I said there isn't!"
"Just indulge me, what if there was?"
"Well, I guess it would...................."
