A/N: Hello. This is part two to my other story "You left us, Remember." You should probably read it to understand this. I would highly recommend it. I'm putting the last scene where we were left with as a previously on type of thing to refresh everyone else's memory. Sorry for any grammatical or spelling mistakes.

It is about a year and half later (so about 9 years since Bonnie had run away) Matt and Caroline are finally married, Stefan and Elena eloped, and Bonnie and Damon live together at her house. Just the basics you should know.

Here it finally is. The sequel to "You left us, Remember?"

Previously on You Left Us…Remember?

"Give me a few more seconds. I'm coming right behind you." Damon kissed her on the forehead and went into the manor.

She stared at the sky one more time and breathed in the fresh air. Looking down at her charm bracelet she fiddled with it. This time when she looked up, you wouldn't have seen those beautiful green-brown orbs. You would have seen eyes as black as the night. She smiled a smile of victory when she walked into the house, blinking her eyes back to normal. The door closed and the witch made her way to the comfort of the Salvatore manor.

Chapter 1

"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you."

-Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

The sound of music surrounded Bonnie as she sat in the restaurant with Damon. Today had been her birthday and she was happy she was celebrating it with one of the people she loved most in the world. He had bought her to some Peruvian restaurant. She had fallen in love with the food a long time ago and it was a food she could eat on any occasion. But her favorite dish was the Saltado de pollo. It was a mixture of pieces of grilled chicken, fries, rice, onions, tomatoes and a wine like sauce. She placed a fork in her mouth and as she looked back up she saw Damon was just staring at her.

"What? Is there something on my face?" she said wiping around her mouth.

"No I just…" She couldn't help but grin as he continued to stare at her.

"Alright Damon. It's creepy when you look at me like that." She sheepishly looked down and then grabbed her wine that sat near to her.

"Is it wrong for me to love staring at my girlfriend?"

"No." They shared a smile as Damon grabbed her hands pulling her body close to his.

"I know we began our relationship with you hating me."

"And you hated me too. Don't be modest." She added.

"Initially I didn't hate you."

"Be serious"

"I didn't, I just liked to annoy you. Then after you came to kill me a few times the hate grew a little."

"You did deserve it." The smile on her face grew.

"I know." as did his smile as he answered, "Anyways, I have fallen completely in love with you and I want us to be together for as long as we can."

"And we can."

"But I want it to be official."

Bonnie's eyes widened. "What exactly are you asking me?"Pulling out a small black velvet box he opened it to show the diamond ring shining at the witch.

"Bonnie Bennett, Will you marry me?" Bonnie was filled with excitement. She was flabbergasted that he would even ask. But as soon as the feeling appeared it quickly left as she looked down at her wrist.

"I..." He waited patiently growing more concerned when she didn't answer, "I'm sorry Damon I can't." He took the engagement ring he held out and closed it placing it in his pocket. The table had been quiet for the next few minutes as Damon and Bonnie both were taking in the events that had just happened. She was about to speak when the waiter came to their table.

"How's everything?"

"We're actually done could you send over the check." Damon said moving towards his wallet.

"Absolutely sir."

"Thank you" As the waiter walked away Bonnie could see that Damon was hurt at the fact that she had turned down his proposal. She leaned forward to try and grab his hand but he moved away completely. "Damon?" she asked.

"Bonnie?" he retorted.

"I just …"

"You gave me your answer, don't worry about it." Once the words left his mouth the waiter appeared with the check and Damon paid for it as he stood up and walked over to help her put her jacket on.

The car ride was silent and Bonnie didn't like that. "Damon, can we talk about this?"

"Not right now. I just…not right now." She accepted this and as they pulled up to their house. They had moved in with each other a few weeks after the Klaus fiasco. And she really did think of it as their home and not just hers.

Parking in the driveway he got out of the car and went to open the door for Bonnie. She walked out and to the door before she stopped and turned to face him. "Are you sure everything is okay?"

"Bonnie let's just enjoy the rest of your birthday." He moved from in front of her to unlock the door. She walked in and threw her purse on the table.

"SURPRISE!" The sound of her friend's voices surprised her as she jumped unexpectedly.

Elena came rushing to her friend, giving her a big hug. "Happy Birthday Bonnie." The witch hugged her friend as she took in her surroundings.

"Do you like it?" Caroline asked coming up to stand next to her two best friends.

"It amazing."

"Good because we spent so much time on this." Caroline continued.

"You know because it's the first birthday party you've had here since you left." Elena finished. Bonnie just laughed.

"It's great." Bonnie looked up to Damon and saw his face. He was putting on a fake smile and she knew it was because he didn't want to have that conversation in front of their friends.

"Are the two of you alright?" Stefan asked standing next to Matt.

"Yeah." Bonnie answered.

"Are you sure because it looks like something is wrong?"

"We're fine" Damon said finally speaking, "I'm going to get a drink." Bonnie watched as he and Stefan left, leaving her standing there with her friends. For right now she would let him mingle but once this was over she would make sure that the two would talk about it later when no one else was here.

"Alright then come in and let the birthday party began." Matt said pulling Bonnie from Caroline and to the crowd.

Bonnie had been sitting in her living room enjoying the party. She had an interesting conversation with Jenna and Alaric, shared drinks with Anna and Jeremy, and enjoyed a moment of comfort with Tyler. She knew that Damon had been avoiding her so that they wouldn't have an argument in front of their friends but she wanted to see him and be near him right now to make the night even more memorable.

"Bonnie, I know that it isn't the best party but Elena and Caroline did put a lot of work into it." Matt said taking a seat next to his friend.

"It's all nice but I just can't be excited right now."

"Why because you and Damon are fighting?"

"We're not fighting. We're disagreeing."

"I knew you two were fighting…disagreeing about something."

"I just want to talk to him." She laid her head on his shoulder.

"Well how about you go in the kitchen and talk to him."

"He's not going to want to talk right now." Matt was silent. He was use to the two fighting; hell they fought and made up like crazy. He hadn't seen it work with many other couples but it worked for Damon and Bonnie.

"I'm not really worried about the fight. You two fight and argue all the time. It'll get better." Bonnie just smiled at her friend, that's all she wanted to hear right now.

"Thanks."

"Remember it's what I'm here for." She made eye contact with Stefan and Caroline who were sharing a conversation, when Elena appeared with a box in her hand.

"It's time for gifts." The brunette said happily as the room grew quiet and the small group crowded around her. Bonnie looked up to see Damon standing nearby and it put a faint smile on her face.

"Alright the birthday girl is about to open presents." Caroline sat Bonnie in the middle of Elena and herself.

"Alright the first present is from Stefan and Elena." Elena handed her the medium sized box.

"Stefan and I thought this would be the perfect gift for you. Seeing how you couldn't find it in stores." Bonnie smiled as she opened the box and once she realized what was inside her smile grew wider.

"I can't believe you remembered." She said reaching in and taking the dress out.

"Yeah but I couldn't find it anywhere. Stefan is the one who found it." She turned to her best friend's husband and smiled.

"Thank you Stef."

"No problem Bonnie. I hope you like it because it took me forever to find. I had to order it from Paris." She laughed. Stefan had a gift at finding things that couldn't be found or someone was having trouble finding. He had found a 1967 Chevy Impala which happened to be Matt's favorite car and both he and Elena had given it to him for his birthday. Then he had given Tyler a rare artifact dealing with werewolves for his house warming. The man was good at it and she was happy he used the power to make people happy.

"I love it."

"Great now that they went here's the gift from me and Matt." The blonde eagerly put her box in front of Bonnie.

Opening the box she laughed. "Caroline what is this?"

"I told you she wouldn't know what it was?" Caroline said to Matt, "It was Matt's idea."

"She said she wanted it."

"What exactly did I say I wanted?" her eyebrow arched showing her confusion.

"It's a good luck charm. I tried to find something different then the same old rabbit's foot or four leaf clover ones." Bonnie flipped the small ornament around it was an irregular shape and she wasn't sure whether it was made of rock or bone. It was about the size of her thumb.

"What do I do with it?"

"Put it on your key chain or something." Everyone was now staring at Matt with a smile on their faces, shaking their heads.

"I'm sorry Bonnie." Caroline's smile faltered as she looked at her husband displeased. "Tomorrow we can go shopping for your real gift."

"It fine Care. I love it." Matt grinned as he was happy Bonnie liked it. He had actually put a lot of work into it trying to find a different type of good luck charm.

"Really?" She said with a disgusted face.

"Yes." She had received a huge empty book from Jer and Anna. They told her, privately, it was so she could have a new grimoire when needed. She did need the space because her other one was getting filled up quickly now-a-days. Alaric and Jenna had gotten her a bunch of stuff dealing with the history of Salem witches and her ancestors of Mystic Falls. She had loved all the gifts she had received.

"Alright the last gift of the night is from Tyler." Caroline said moving out the way so he could hand it to her. "Wait Damon do you have anything for her?"

"I already gave her my gift." He said standing up against the door.

"What was it? Did you like it?"

Bonnie stared at Damon who had answered for her. "Let's just say we have to go shopping for another one."

"Oh well. Okay here's mine." Tyler handed the present to her and she opened the box and couldn't help but to be genuinely surprised by the gift.

"Tyler this is beautiful."

"What is it?" Caroline said. Bonnie took the small piece of jewelry out of the box and she couldn't help but fall in love with it. Inside was what looked like a small crystal.

"It's a diamond. Polished and cut of course." Examining the charm she noticed the gold sphere the diamond was held inside, along with the gold chain.

"Why didn't we think about giving her jewelry?" She said to Matt, admiring the fine piece.

"What made you get this?"

"I don't know. I hoped you would like it though. I figured you and the diamond are one in the same, strong and hard to break. You know in the line of work you do."

"Ty it really is amazing."

"I thought you would like it." She turned to him and asked could he put it on. Around her neck everyone told her how beautiful it looked on her.

"It even goes with you charm bracelet." Elena said holding her wrist up.

"I've always wanted to know where you got that bracelet from it's so pretty." Caroline said looking at each charm.

"I got if from my mom." She said and they had left it at that. "Anyways thanks for all the gifts it was amazing and I loved spending time with all you guys."

"It's always a pleasure." Alaric said grabbing Jenna's hand, "But it's getting late and I have to get ready for work tomorrow."

"Alright well thank you for coming." She got up to hug both Jenna and Alaric.

"Well if they're going it's about time for us to go." Anna said coming to hug the witch. "Happy Birthday." She watched as everyone began making their way out.

Stefan, Elena, Caroline, Matt, and Tyler were the lasts to leave as they helped her to clean. "Thank you all for everything. The party and gifts."

"It's obvious who gave you the best one."Caroline said her eyes averting to Tyler.

"All of my gifts were wonderful."

"Besides I think Bonnie hasn't gotten all her 'gifts' for the night. I'm sure Damon will give Bonnie the best gift ever." Tyler said winking and getting a laugh from everyone.

"Well let's get out of here so they can get to it." Care said pulling Matt out.

"Bye." She said waving to her friends as they pulled away. She shut the door and went to look for Damon. She found him in their bedroom sitting at the desk.

"The party was fun." She looked to him as she took off her shoes.

"I hope you enjoyed it." He said still not looking at her.

"Damon please talk to me I don't want to go to sleep with you mad at me."

"I'm not mad at you."

"Well what is it?"

"I don't understand. Is there something wrong with the fact that I proposed to you or that I want to marry you?"

"No, it's just I don't see why we need to get married. It doesn't have to be official we can just have each other."

"But I want to show the world that you are mine."

"I know I'm yours and you know that I'm yours. I don't see what difference it's going to make if I have a ring on my finger."

"I don't understand why this is such a big deal."

"It's not. I just don't need a ring to prove that I love you."

"Bonnie what is this really about?"

"What?" she moved from in front of him to stand in the mirror.

"It's not about the ring is it?" he stood behind her moving her hair to one said. The witch talked to him as she looked down.

"All of my family never had successful marriages. My mom left my dad, my granddad left my Grams. Most of my family are separated, divorced, or widowed. I just don't think marriage is my thing."

"But I'm never going to leave you Bonnie. You should know that by now."

"But what if something happens to you or what if you get tired of me?"

"Bonnie were both supernatural's anything can happen to us at any point of time for the rest of our lives. And I can never get tired of you."

"I know, I guess some times I just think that you will." He kissed her neck and mumbled in her ear.

"Bonnie, don't ever feel like that around me." She nodded and accepted that Damon was just as wonderful as he could be. He looked at the necklace that the dog had given his girl.

"It's pretty isn't it?"

"Just like the woman wearing it. Now how about we take that off, so I can give you your other birthday present." She smiled as he took it off and placed it with her other jewelry.

He stopped before Bonnie could kiss him back, it made her mad. "I'm sorry, that I ruined your birthday." He told her staring deep into her brown-green eyes.

"Well think about it like this. We get to make up now." She said finally kissing the man back. She ran her hands through his hair as he lifted her up and laid her on the bed.

"I love you." He said leaving a trail of kissed along her body.

"I love you too."

Bonnie looked over to her side to see Damon facing her. It was 1:47 a.m. when she looked over to the clock. She was late and she knew that her boss was going to be upset. She'd just use her charm and wits and get back on his good side. Something she did often, that made her one of his favorites. She went in the bathroom and found one of the outfits she had hidden under the sink. She looked out back into the room one more time before she went down the stairs and out the door.

She use to take the car with her, doing her late night escapades but after Damon had caught her one night she decided not to use it and instead used her magic to teleport her to the meeting spot.

Walking into the abandoned apartment complex, she saw Big Bill standing guard. He was a demon and one of the best guards she had known and on some level he was a friend. "Hey Bill, how's it going?"

"Haven't seen you in a few days. Thought you were done with us."

"Naw, I just have other things I do."

"Right your secret day life that none of us know about." For good reason she thought, if they found out what I did when I wasn't hanging with them. Let's just say it would be bad.

"How about I make up my absence and we could go for drinks one night."

"I'm holding you accountable for that." She was about to step into the man's office when Big Bill held her back.

"He's seeing someone right now. A new guy."

"What does he need a new guy for? I'm not enough?"

"He's trying to expand his business." She knew that he usually had a few clients but his dream had always been to grow and have it inflate over the whole east coast. Something she didn't have a problem helping with.

"Of course. You know how long he'll be." She asked looking at her watch. She wanted to make sure she wouldn't be here all night. Before Bill could answer, the door opened.

"Thank you." The man said coming out and closing the door behind him. Bonnie could hear him in the office as he told the creature leaving to do well or Bill would be taking care of him. Bonnie couldn't help but grin as she saw the fear in the young boys' eyes.

"Bonnie, meet your new partner?"

"What?" she looked up to Bill to see he was smiling now.

"He knows that I don't work with other people."

"Well tonight you're working with me." She looked the boy up and down he wasn't that strong and she didn't even feel a real power coming from him. What the hell, she thought.

"The boss thinks that you can teach me something." He rolled his eyes at the girl. He must have thought she was weak compared to him.

"I can teach you a lot, but I'll be damned if I work with an amateur." She saw Bill as if he was communicating with someone, most likely the boss.

"Can I speak to him?" She said moving the rookie out the way.

"He has a meeting with another one of his clients, but he said that if you don't do this you don't get what you need from him." She thought for a minute before she sighed and looked over to the boy one more time.

"What's your name kid?"

"Alan."

"I'm Bonnie."

"So Bon what are we going to do tonight."

"Listen here new guy; let's get a few things straight. First, you talk to me like I'm your equal not like your better than me; Second, if I think you are about to get me killed I will kill you before Bill here can get the chance; Third, one thing you cannot do EVER is call me Bon because we're not friends."

"Alright." He paused, waiting for her to tell him what to do.

"Did he give you anything? A name, a place, an item?" she watched as he patted his pocket checking for anything. When Bill finally pulled out a piece of paper.

"Here." She took the paper out and read it:

Joe Pitt, lower level demon. Hangs out at a nightclub called Crossroads.

Gave you something easy for the Boy. He's kind of annoying. Have fun.

S.N.

"Did he say anything else?" she asked going over the note again. The guard at the door answered for her as the boy looked on.

"Apparently he has been stealing things from upper level demons that he shouldn't have been and stole from the wrong one this time. The client says there's a few thousand for his head." Bill had finished up and Bonnie knew exactly what he was asking for.

"So what are we going to do to him? Kidnap him and bring him and bring him to the boss" Bonnie laughed as she folded the paper up and put it in her pocket. The boy really didn't have any idea what he just signed up for.

"We're going to do something more than that." She glanced back to Bill who was taking delight in this conversation as was she. "We're going to kill him." The boy nodded in understanding as he followed the witch towards tonight's target. "And bring back his head."
