The Lengths He Would Go

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Diaries

A/N: OK so uh I wouldn't say I completely fell off the Bamon ship but I was nearly done with them and then the hug happened and I died. So this is a result of me obsessing over them. I don't know what happened.

Damon looked up at the torn down old witches house. He sighed deeply shaking his head still not believing he was here doing this. Everything has gone to hell lately. Just when he think things can't get any worse it gets ten times worse. That was how life gets though, he knew. That is why he was the one making all of the hard crappy choices everyone hated. It was what led him to this house last time. Life going to hell is what led him to turning Bonnie's mom into a vampire, a fate worse than death for them, apparently. Now nothing really could get worse, Bonnie has left the building, she was one too few of the coo coo nest. She's just not there. He tried everything to get her back. He worked with countless witches and still Silas had her until his control. Now they were all doomed. They all needed Bonnie. She was always their last shot in saving the day. She always had some great magic joo-joo up her sleeve to do. Whether he liked to admit it or not, he was always more comfortable in working with Bonnie as a partner and saving the day. They all needed her and in a lot of ways he needed her too.

He took one more moment and opened the door and walked in. Like he supposed, he immediately fell to the floor riving in pain, pulling on his head trying to pull through the pain. He knew this would happen, the witches had settled a bit on their Damon torture fest to help Stefan and Bonnie with the coffins, he was pretty sure that little truce would stop the moment he turned a Bennett Witch into a vampire. Through his pain filled screams he was able to manage some slurred words. "I'm…here…to…help…..Bonnie. Please…help….me…help….her."

The pain didn't subside anytime soon. His head throbbed like thousands of little creatures were eating away at it. It was like every inch of his skin was trying to be peeled off by a raging piercing stinging hot fire. He should have known that the ancient witches wouldn't help him. Why would they after everything he has done to them?

"Please…I know you don't want this…" He said through bursts of pain.

He continued, "I know you don't want your predecessor to end the world. And she will, if any of you can do it, it's her."

His eyes closed not being able to stand the pain any longer. It hit him like a molten rock of lava in one huge burst. Then suddenly, it ceased, his muscles relaxed and the pain disappeared.

Damon fell to the ground relieved and then he picked himself up and yelled to the empty room sincerely, "Thank you."

Then suddenly Emily Bennett appeared before him. He blinked his eyes in shock she could never appear to him before. She wore the beige crisp bonnet and plain grey dress she did when she died. He had to push that memory away when she burned at the stake and he couldn't stop it.

"Emily. How am I seeing you right now?" Damon asked.

"The Vale is weakening already." Emily said in that serious brisk way she did.

"How can we stop it?" Damon asked.

"We? Why should we trust you after everything you did to us?" Emily asked.

"Hey, I helped preserve your line. I saved your children not to mention every one of your predecessors." Damon said.

"For selfish reasons." Emily retorted.

"Yeah, yeah, I am so selfish blaw blaw blaw. I know I suck. I know you witches hate me for turning one of your own into a vamp. I get it. But I am here now willing to do whatever it takes to save Bonnie from this. I know you don't want her to bring down the Vale, it will destroy the precious balance you claim to love so much." Damon said.

"Why do you care?" Emily asked.

"Hey, I don't want the world to end, just as much as the next guy. How can I continue being this eternal stud with the zombie apocalypse ready to destroy it?" Damon asked flippant.

Emily rolled her eyes and said, "Why not just kill her? Without her to do the spell…"

"No way, there has to be another way to stop it. There has to be a way to save her. We can't just sacrifice her to the slaughter. We can't go on living in this crap town without Bonnie!"

"So you want to save her so you can continue to use her. " Emily said.

"I want to save her because I care! Okay, fine I admit it. I care about Bonnie Bennett. What do you want me to do write it in blood?" Damon shouted angry.

Emily gave a small smile pleased like she just got him to say something she was planning. He should have known that little minx was always so sneaky.

"I will help you. You will help us. You are correct we don't want Bonnie to do this anymore then you do." Emily said.

"So what do we do?" Damon asked relieved to finally be able to do something.

"You must understand what you are getting yourself into. You must understand that sacrifices will be made and you will have to give up everything you want." Emily said.

"Everything that I want?" Damon asked a bit taken a back. He knew with witches sacrifices will always have to be made, it was how balance was kept. With witches it probably would be something to bite him in the ass later. It didn't matter though he was ready for that when he decided to go to the witches in the first place. He would do whatever took to save Bonnie.

"I will do it. Whatever I have to give up whatever I have to do, none of that matters, right now all that matters is that we save Bonnie Bennett."

"Good answer. So this is what you have to do." Emily said.

Stefan didn't know how they got to this point. Okay maybe he did, it was his fault, it was him wanting a cure for Elena so desperately that got them into this mess. All he wanted was to keep Elena safe he didn't understand why that simple little thing of protecting Elena had to always lead to others suffering. He didn't want to see others suffer. But here they were in the middle of these woods with a hoard of Silas followers battling with vampires. When did they come from just trying to be to fighting with crazy witches' hell bent on bringing back all of the supernatural creatures who ever would die? How in the world did Bonnie Bennett get to be the center of all of that? She was the one who they went to for help. Now what were they going to do? Kill her? Stefan hated it; he didn't want to have to do that. Elena already lost all of her family members did she really have to lose her best friend too? But if it came down to it, if it became the choice between saving the world and stopping this and saving Bonnie then he would of course have to save the world.

He hated the thought. He didn't want to even have to think about it. Elena was here with a plan to just get to Bonnie to talk to her to appeal to their childhood memories and bring her back to her. Stefan sighed. Well at least Elena was back; at least her humanity was back. At least he was able to reach her. At least he got to her to bring her humanity back on. Even with her being sired to Damon at least he could appeal to her. It hurt seeing her feel so much, though, but it was better than her being empty. And now maybe they would have some small hope that Elena could get to Bonnie. That is if they could get pass all of these amped up Expression filled withes.

These woods was roaring with power. Lightning, fire, wind was raging all over. And even though they had speed and strength, he wasn't sure if they were a match for Silas' army.

He had to hold on the small hope that he had that it would all be okay. Even though they were outnumbered by these crazy witches and even though Damon had been missing for days, he still had hope, even if it was a little flicker.

Bonnie was in the middle of it all a circle of witches guarding her while she performed the spell.

The sound of thunder blared and all of the witches had waved their hands and all of the vampires were all on the ground thriving in pain. All of the vampire screams jumbled in his head. He could hear Elena, Caroline, Rebekah's voices shriek in his head. This was it. This was how they were all going to die. After everything they had been through this was how it was going to end.

Then suddenly a fire burst out from nowhere and hit the witch that had inflicted so much pain. Stefan turned around wondering who in the world would help them. What witch had suddenly come to his rescue?

Then Damon stood there with small bolts of electricity bursting out of his fingertips.

"Hello brother. Need a little help?"

Then he flicked his wrist at the witches who were causing Elena, Rebekah, and Caroline pain, they all caught on fire.

"Great, Damon Salvatore has magic. We're all doomed." Rebekah muttered.
