Bonnie hated when ever spring rolled around, the days seemed to get hotter and hotter. It wasn't just that it was hotter what made it worse was the fact that her car was currently at the autoshop so her mode of transportation was either taking a bus or walking. Taking a bus was a nightmare with all those sweaty bodies packed together, she'd done it one time and well never again. Walking wasn't any better but it was the best of both evils. She'd been concentrating so much on her dilemma that she hadn't heard the car until someone spoke to her.

" Hey witchy that car of yours still at the shop"

Out of anybody it had to be him "You here to laugh at my misery"

"Actually I'm here to give you a ride"

" What's in it for you, because I know for sure you're not doing it out of the kindness of your soul"

"Oh witchy you know me so well, helping you could get me some brownie points with Elena. So what do you say it's a win-win situation"

Bonnie couldn't accept his offer, he would never let it go, rubbing it in her face that he had helped her. She could just ignore him and continue walking, but then again it was so hot, she was drenched in sweat. She couldn't handle walking in this heat the blocks left to get home. She knew she was going to regret this but there was no choice.

"Okay, fine I'll accept your ride offer." Sighing Bonnie walked around Damon's Camaro towards the passenger door and got in. She leaned against the window and drowned out all surrounding sounds, instead deciding to watch the scenery that flashed on by. Next thing she knew they were pulling up into her driveway. Her dad's car wasn't parked in it's usual place, that could only mean one thing he was out of town on business. It was better for her this way, she had the whole place to herself and could practice her magic. Her father didn't really feel comfortable with her witch heritage or any sign of her practicing her magical skills.

As Bonnie was getting out of the Camaro she turned and faced Damon "Well thanks for the ride, even if it was for your own selfish reasons." Not waiting for an answer she closed his door and began walking towards her front door. As she walked she began planning what she needed to practice, she could probably practice all through the night. There was no one to tell her otherwise and it was a Friday so there were no classes tomorrow. She was so focused on her planning that when she entered her home she did not sense the ominous figure lurking in it until it was too late. Next thing she knew she was pinned against the wall of her house by what seemed to be a shadow. She tried to use her magic to escape but it didn't work, either her magic was somehow blocked or her magic didn't work against whatever this thing was. She did the only other thing she could think of, she began to scream and kick hoping that someone would hear and come rescue her.

As Damon pulled out of Bonnie's driveway his thoughts were on wether Elena would be at the boarding house when he heard a hair-raising scream. It was coming from Bonnie's house, using his vampire speed he ran towards her house breaking down the door. It was a good thing that he had compelled her father a month ago to invite him inside their home. Upon entering her house he saw a shadow had Bonnie pinned against a wall. He sped towards them and was surprised when he was able to push the shadow away from Bonnie, for a shadow it seemed to be pretty solid. Without missing a beat Damon picked up Bonnie and using his super speed sped away to the safest place he knew. He arrived at the boarding house and laid her in the sofa, while he went to see if anybody was at the boarding house. He returned having found no one to see how terrified she was.

"Hey it's okay, you're okay, you're safe here" he hugged her and soothingly rubbed her arm, slowly her shaking stopped. He wondered if it was too soon to talk about what just happened to her, but if they wanted to be ready for it they had to know what they were going against.

"Do you know what that thing attacking you was."

"No I don't, alll I know is that my magic didn't work against it. I don't know if it's immune against my magic or if it somehow was able to block my magic. All I know is that I've never felt so frightened in my life." She shuddered remembering how helpless she'd felt being captured by that thing.

"Okay well what we need to do is investigate what that thing was and why it's after you. Time to make some calls."

After calling Stefan and his little gang of friends he returned to the living room to find Bonnie asleep. He decided to let her sleep until everyone arrived, she deserved it after what happened.

The first thing Bonnie noticed as she woke up was that she was not in her home, the second was that she could hear voices arguing.

"Do we even know anything about what attacked her and more importantly why her powers don't work against it"

"Is she even safe"

She would recognize those voices anywhere they'd been friends since childhood, if Elena and Caroline were here then so was everybody else.

"Look Blondie I didn't exactly stop and chitchat with this thing, I was kind of busy trying to save your friend. You know a petite, tan skinned witch who is currently passed out in my living room"

Bonnie decided it was time to step in before they began to rip each other's heads off. As she walked into the kitchen she observed that all their faces were etched with worry. Before she could make her presence known Damon spoke.

"Well one things for sure she isn't going back to her house, it isn't safe enough. She should move to the boarding house where she can be protected by a vampire until we can get rid of this thing"

"Why can't she move into my dorm with me, I'm a vampire as well"

"No offense Blondie but you're just a newborn, also you don't have much time on your hands with all your extracurricular activities"

Just as Caroline was about to retort Bonnie spoke up

"You guys can't decided for me, I can make my own decisions"

Damon turned to face Bonnie with a smirk "No can do witchy, I actually already moved all your stuff to a guest room, hope you enjoy your stay."
