Prologue: Three Years Later

Enzo was in a panic when he realized that Bonnie may be dying because of the pills that he had given her. At the time he couldn't have known that it would have lasting effects because the armory lied to him. They told him that it would take her powers away for a short time but it was slowly killing her. He thought that given enough time that he could fix it. While Stefan had been running for the last three years; Bonnie and Enzo had been searching for a cure.

When the spell didn't work and the call was disconnected Damon had feared the worst. He immediately rushed towards Stefan just as he was waking up.

"What happened and how come I'm not stuck in the stone?"

Valerie came rushing to towards Stefan's side much to Damon's dismay.

"I'm not sure unless somehow the stone was destroyed; which means that the ruthless vampire killer can be killed now at least."

"That's a problem for next week. We need to get out of here before she comes back."

Of course Valerie would suggest that Stefan and her leave town yet again. Damon wasn't about to let her try and lure his brother away yet again.

Just before he was about to dash her hopes Enzo suddenly interrupted them, "Don't get out the champagne just yet. There's a new problem that could become a problem for you guys."

"What is the new threat that I need to be concerned about now?" Damon replied.

"It's the armory." Enzo's tried to explain.

To this Damon replied, "Oh, I thought that you and the armory were best friends, what could've happened?"

Enzo spoke up, "That was before they thought that I set the vampire hunter free and they tricked me into poisoning Bonnie. Let's just say that we no longer see eye to eye at the moment."

Bonnie's name caught Damon's attention quickly. "What about Bonnie? What's happened to her?"

"You mean that you don't know? You went and desecrated yourself and everyone else just left. No one even bothered to call and check on her even once in the last three years. Why are you suddenly concerned about her now?" Enzo was annoyed with their arrogance and self importance that they held for one another.

Damon felt the need to defend his actions, "I did that for Bonnie and Stefan, I wanted them to have a life without having to take anymore pain that was meant for me. I thought that I was doing the right thing for once."

Enzo was pisses off now, "The only one that choice was best for was you and Valerie of course."

Valerie chose that moment to speak up, "What are you talking about, how was that choice for my benefit?"

Enzo needed to put her in her place, "You finally got what you wanted all along, Stefan without all his drama. I mean there was no Caroline, no Damon, hell no one else to tie him to Mystic Falls at all. You must of just loved having him all to yourself for three years."

"It wasn't like that at all, we were trying to find a cure to the mark."

"Right and I'm sure that you called Mystic Falls and checked in from time to time right? You did at least give Caroline a proper goodbye before you stole her boyfriend right?"

She merely looked down almost in shame.

Enzo wasn't done yet, "Did either of you call Bonnie once even in the last three years? Right, I already know the answer to that question."

Damon had to speak up, "Just how would you know who has or hasn't talked to Bonnie ever?"

"I know because I was there with her night and day helping her look for a cure. We haven't found one yet, only a few temporary fixes that don't last long. Maybe the cure is in the vampire hunter 's blood itself." Enzo replied rather harshly.

Damon grabbed Enzo and pushed him against a car and said, "What are you trying to say?"

To this Enzo's replied, "Bonnie's not dead yet sorry to disappoint you but your precious Elena isn't coming back to you yet. Maybe sooner than you thought though because we're running out of time."

Damon: "I don't want Bonnie dead; where is she?"

Enzo: "I don't think that she wants to see either of you at the moment."

Damon: "I didn't ask if she wanted to see me, I asked where she was and I expect an answer now?"

Stefan immediately spoke up next, "Damon maybe now isn't the best time to hash this out."

Damon: "I don't care if this isn't the time but why the hell didn't you look out for everyone in our town? Was it that piece of ass?"

Stefan: "No and don't talk about her, you don't even know her."

Damon: "That's rich, I probably know her better than you do as she's been lying to you for three years."

Stefan: "What's he talking about?"

She tried to cover her lies up, "It's nothing, he just misunderstood me that's all."

Damon: "Really and just which part did I misunderstand, the part about you being able to remove the mark and transfer it to someone else or did something get lost in translation?"

Valerie: "It wasn't like that, please Stefan just listen to me for a minute?"

Stefan: "All of this time, you kept telling me how I was better off without my brother and everyone else too. You never wanted us to return to Mystic Falls ever did you?"

Valerie: "No but only because this town is bad luck for me and you. I just wanted us to be together like we were always meant to and everyone always gets in the way."

Stefan was pissed off, "Wow and I thought that Katherine was bad but your far worse than her. When you love someone you put their needs before your own regardless of the cost. Whatever you feel for me that's not love, it's obsession, I guess that you and Damon have more in common than you realized."

Valerie: "Stefan, what are you trying to say?"

Stefan: "I thought it was clear, we're over."

Valerie: "No, you can't mean it."

Damon: "He means it, now leave and get away from my brother. See the stone tried to tell you that your life would be better off without me in it and it lied to you but it told me the truth. I needed to get my focus back without Elena in it. I made a mistake doing what I did. Now we need to focus on Bonnie. Where'd psycho go anyways?"

As Damon looked around; he just noticed that Enzo was gone, as he had fled the scene. Damon caught up to him before he was out of sight completely.

Damon: "Hey, just where do you think that your going off to?"

Enzo: "It's obvious, I'm going to try and save the woman that I love."

Damon: "If you mean Bonnie just when did that happen?"

Enzo: "It didn't happen yet but it's only a matter of time. I have waited patiently but unlike you lot, I won't wait indefinitely for someone that loves another."

Damon: "What are you talking about now?"

Enzo: "Great your in denial too."

Damon: "In denial about what?"

Enzo: "Oh, maybe you never realized how she felt about you either. She keeps denying it but I know that the only reason that she kept me and every other guy at bay is because of you."

Damon: "We're just friends at least we were three years ago but that's it. There's nothing going on between us romantically and if you think there is it's only in your head."

Enzo: "That's what I used to think until I kissed her. She pushed me away in case you were wondering. Then the following night I heard her whispering your name in her sleep. When I called her yet again on how she feels about you, she denied it again. She always denies how she feels about you but that doesn't make it any less true. In case you missed the memo, Bonnie is so in love with you. Why do you think that I told her about your whole plan because I wanted her to know even then how little you feel for her. None of you are worth a ten of Bonnie Bennett but she could never see that. None of you ever appreciated her and If you think that I would ever betray her again for you then you are sadly mistaken."

Damon: "I only want to talk to Bonnie, that's all that I want. Why are you acting like this?"

Enzo: "Because all anyone named Salvatore has ever done is brought the people of Mystic Falls nothing but pain Bonnie included. I will talk to her and If Bonnie wants to see you then I will set it up but that is her choice."

Damon: "Fine, you do and be disappointed yet again when another woman doesn't choose you."

With that Enzo walked off in search of Bonnie. Damon noticed that Valerie had left as well; thus leaving the two brothers alone.

Stefan: "What happens now, Damon?"

Damon: "I don't know about you but I have a witch to see."

Stefan: "But I thought that you were going to wait for Enzo to come back?"

Damon: "If you really thought that than your dumber than I thought. Do you really think that Enzo is going to even tell Bonnie that I'm awake?"

Stefan: "Why wouldn't he?"

Damon: "Wow and I thought that you were the smart one. He wouldn't want to risk her leaving him."

Stefan: "Oh, come on, you weren't really buying that; about Bonnie being in love with you of all people were you?"

Damon: "What's wrong with that?"

Stefan: "Besides the obvious? It's Bonnie that we're talking about and she would never be with any vampire."

Damon: "Your wrong and you don't know her like I do. Did you forget that we spent all that time trapped together?"

Stefan: "I remember but I seriously doubt; that she would ever have feelings like that for you or Enzo. Wait do want her to have those feelings for you?"

Damon: "What, no of course not, don't be ridiculous. I was just messing with Enzo's head but she wouldn't ever consider dating him."

Stefan: "I don't know, you almost sound jealous. I thought that after all this time that you were waiting for Elena still or isn't that true anymore?"

Damon: "I'm not waiting for her to wake up for me to grow up. She told me to live my life and I'm finally going to do just that."

With that Damon walked off to follow Enzo's scent towards Bonnie.
