Getting back to normal:
Chapter 1:
Damon closed his eyes as if by magic he could somehow block out her screams of agony.
It was not meant to have led to this. Bonnie was just meant to help them with a little spell if they needed it.
"What's happening to her?" Caroline cried from her bindings across the room.
"There draining her." Stefan's replied his voice pained as the little witch's scream echoed out once more.
Damon opened his eyes and looked over at his brother.
"What does that mean?" Damon demanded unconsciously fighting against the sliver changes that held him to the wall.
Stefan looked grim.
"There a spell that takes a witches power from them slowly and painfully." Stefan explained.
"So Bonnie's losing her powers?" Caroline asked.
Stefan shook his head his face still pained.
"At least that's something." Damon muttered.
Caroline glared at him.
The door to their cell opened and Damon watched as Bonnie was all but thrown into the room.
"That's enough for now at least." A voice muttered from the shadows.
Anger raged through Damon he didn't even know what the man looked like.
The voice from the shadow laughed as the door locked shut.
"Bonnie?" Caroline called trying not to let the tears fall from her eyes.
Bonnie never moved.
"Bonnie?" Caroline called again tears spilling from her eyes.
Damon studied the little witch listening his hardest for her heartbeat praying that it was there.
Again Bonnie never moved.
Caroline looked over at Stefan begging him to do something.
"Bonnie?" Stefan called worry is his brother's voice was clear.
"Please Bonnie wake up!" Caroline begged.
Damon watched, preying and hoping that something would wake the little witch up.
"Dam it Bonnie wake up." Damon screamed.
The little witch made a weak nose.
"Bonnie?" Stefan called.
Bonnie moved, her movements painfully slowly, as she made her way into sitting position.
Damon got a better look of her sitting like this. She had a bruised face and split lip.
"Bonnie you ok?" Stefan asked studying her just like he had been.
Bonnie opened her already swollen eyes.
"We need to get out of here." Bonnie commented.
"Way for stating the obvious judgy." Damon said.
Bonnie glared at him.
"It's your fault were in this mess in the first place." She pointed out and Damon winced.
Bonnie slowly stood and Damon wish he hadn't said anything.
"Bonnie what are you doing?" Caroline asked.
"Getting us out of here." Bonnie replied struggling for breath.
"Bonnie don't." His brother warned.
Bonnie slowly moved over to Damon.
"Promise you'll get us out of here." She said softly looking him directly in the eyes.
Damon nodded.
"I promise." He replied.
Bonnie gently touched the cuff on Damon's wrist and muttered a spell, the chains broke instantly. She fell to her knees.
"Bonnie?" Damon called.
Damon watched as she struggled breathing.
"Almost…done…" she breathed.
"Come on judgy stay with me." Damon begged.
Bonnie placed her hand on the cuff round his ankle, she looked up at him.
"You'll ….keep….your….pro…mise?" She breathed.
Damon put his hand lightly on her shoulder.
"Judgy what's going on?" He asked.
"Dam…on." She breathed.
Damon took a deep breath.
"I promise." He replied honestly.
She looked down and muttered the same spell she did as before the chain broke once again as Bonnie's body sunk to the floor.
Damon managed to get to her before her head hit the floor.
"Bonnie!" Stefan and Caroline screamed at the same time.
Damon checked her pulse and sighed in relief as he found it.
"She's alive, just." Damon muttered.
Damon gently laid Bonnie head on the ground before heading over to his brother and breaking the chains wincing a little at the sliver.
"Get Barbie and let's get out of here." Damon ordered as he gently picked Bonnie up in his arms and carried her towards the door.
Bonnie's head pounded.
"Bon?" Elena's voice called.
Bonnie closed her eyes tighter. She loved Elena she really did but it was a times like this when the pain either emotional or physical that Bonnie really wondered why she still bothered.
"How is she?" Damon voiced asked.
"Like you care." Elena spat spitefully.
Bonnie didn't like Damon on the best of days but he didn't deserve that.
"Elena.." Damon started.
Bonnie heard what sounded like Elena moving.
"Don't Damon. Just don't." Elena replied.
A few seconds later the door slammed.
"For what it's worth little witch, I am sorry." Damon whispered.
Bonnie winced as the Damon pulled the chair up closer to her bed and gently took her hand.
"But I promise I will kill the arsehole that did this." He whispered determinedly.
She could hear his guilt, she wanted to tell him that it wasn't his fault she would have gone even if he hadn't asked.
Memories flashed through her mind.
FLASHBACK:
Bonnie paused as she approached the boarding house door, she knew inside there would be some big drama because of Elena and she knew that it would be her that got hurt in the process of trying to save her beloved friend.
"Judgy we don't have time to waste." Damon said as he opened the door.
Bonnie just sighed and walked slowly inside, she could feel Damon's eyes on her back as she made her way into the living room everyone already there waiting for her.
"Bonnie, I'm so glad you're here." Elena breathed hugging her friend.
Bonnie took another deep breath and looked over at Caroline, who mouthed;
"Are you ok?"
Bonnie nodded and pulled away from her friend.
"What's going on?" she asked looking at Stefan.
Stefan handed her a piece of paper.
"This was left of the door stop along with Matt's dead body." Stefan replied.
Bonnie's eyes darted towards her friend.
"I'm fine lucky I was wearing the ring." Matt replied.
Bonnie took a shuddering breath.
"So what do you want from me?" Bonnie asked.
"We need you judgy to find out who they are and why they want Elena." Damon said as if it was obvious.
Bonnie looked down at the paper Stefan had given the girl.
"We want the girl or your friends will die one by one." Bonnie read aloud.
Bonnie frowned. She closed her eyes and focused on the paper. Images moved through her mind till one stopped a man she never seen before looked at someone in the shadows. The man was tall with broad shoulders and thick muscles. His dark eyes looked down picture she couldn't see
"Why this girl?" he asked the man in the shadows his voice rough.
"She's a Bennett need I say more?" the voice in the shadows asked.
The image disappeared as Bonnie opened her eyes.
"Well what did you see?" Damon demanded.
Bonnie glared. It wasn't Elena they were after it was her they were going to kill everyone she cared about until they got what they wanted. Her.
Bonnie walked over to Matt.
"I couldn't see where they are, maybe I can see something from your memory?" Bonnie asked.
"What do I need to do?" Matt asked nodded.
Bonnie smiled.
"Just think about when you first meet the man that killed you and I can do the rest." Bonnie replied.
Matt nodded and closed his eyes.
Bonnie gently put her hands either side of Matts head and closed her eyes.
Matt's mind showed him just outside of town delivering some food on his way home. He knocked on the door, and Bonnie knew this house she pulled out of the vision knowing she couldn't cope with watching her very lucky friend die again.
She stood up slowly and walked over to the map.
"Bonnie?" Stefan called.
Bonnie looked over at him.
"This is where they are." Bonnie said pointing to the right place.
She felt Damon and Stefan look over her shoulder.
"What do they want with Elena?" Damon asked.
Bonnie shook her head.
"They don't want Elena." Bonnie replied.
She felt eyes on her. She needed them to forget about this so she could look into without any of them getting hurt.
"Then who do they want?" Stefan asked.
Bonnie looked away and shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know." She lied.
They were all silent for a moment.
"I still think we should find out what they want." Damon said.
"Damon's right." Elena agreed and Bonnie rolled her eyes.
"Not you, you stay here. Me, Stefan, Barbie and Judgy will go." Damon said.
Elena opened her mouth to argue but Bonnie beat her too it not wanting any of them anywhere near that place.
"No." Bonnie said.
Everyone looked at her surprised.
"Come on Judgy this needs to be done." Damon said.
Bonnie shook her head.
"I said no." she said.
"Please Bonnie we have to find a way to protect ourselves." Elena said walking over to her friend.
Bonnie looked at her friend and shook her head that was exactly what she was trying to do.
"No." Bonnie replied and walked towards the door.
"Bonnie I'm asking you for one thing how difficult can that be, I haven't asked you for nothing in the years we've been friends. Please." Elena begged.
Bonnie head turned round fast. She knew Elena never realised what she had just said but that didn't make Bonnie feel any better.
"You never ask me for anything?" Bonnie asked in disbelief as she slowly approached Elena.
"Bonnie, Elena never meant that." Caroline said realising what Elena had ultimate said.
Bonnie ignored Caroline and focused on Elena.
"So my mum and my grams are nothing?" Bonnie asked and Elena gasped finally realising what she had said.
"I'm sorry…" Elena started but Bonnie put up her hand to stop her.
"This is the last thing I ever do for you, after this were done. I never want to see you face again." Bonnie said.
She knew she was being harsh but she really did need and break from Elena and all the trouble that came with her.
"Bonnie…" Elena said softly.
Bonnie ignored her and looked over at Damon.
"We leave in an hour. The first sign this is anything the four of us can't handle Caroline and I are out of there." Bonnie said and without waiting for a reply she left.
END OF FLASHBACK.
Damon didn't know what possessed him but he couldn't find it in himself to leave the little witches side.
"What are you doing in here?" his brother asked softly.
Stefan knew how guilty Damon felt about what happened to Bonnie.
"I didn't think it was a good idea to leave her on her own we don't really know what they did to her." Damon lied.
Stefan sat down next to him.
"I think they drained her." Stefan said.
"You said, but what does that mean?" Damon demanded.
Stefan sighed.
"I'm not completely sure I read about it in book. All I know is she will be ok but it's a long progress." Stefan replied deep in thought.
Damon sighed frustrated.
"Which means what exactly?" Damon asked.
Stefan looked at Bonnie and gently put his hand down on hers.
"That she'll be really weak. She won't be able to stand on her own off a while let alone walk." Stefan replied almost regretfully.
"Shit." Damon muttered.
Stefan put his hand on Damon shoulder.
"Don't worry, she'll have us." Stefan replied.
Damon shook his head.
"Don't you remember what she said before we left?" Damon asked.
"She was done remember." Damon added without waiting for a reply.
Stefan sighed.
"I know but right now she needs us." Stefan said.
Damon nodded in reluctant agreement.
Bonnie wanted to open her mouth and tell them it was Elena she didn't want to see but she couldn't energy left her with that very thought.
"We should sought out a watch schedule." Stefan said.
Damon sighed.
"We don't want her waking up alone and trying to do something by herself." Stefan added.
Bonnie wanted to yell at him that she could take care of herself.
"She should be ok for a couple of minutes while we sort it out between us." Stefan said.
Bonnie heard someone leave the room.
"I'll make this up to you." Damon muttered softly as he left the room.
Bonnie didn't know much about Damon but what she did know was enough to tell her he meant what he said.
He looked round the room and frowned, he had her and lost her.
"Do we know how they escaped?" he asked his men that gathered around him.
"No Sir." His second in command said.
His second in commanded was Malcom Johnson a werewolf pack leader with a thirst for blood.
"Well continue looking." He ordered.
Malcom ordered his men around. Malcom was tall with broad shoulders and thick muscles. His dark eyes were determined.
"Do you have any idea sir?" Malcom asked.
He laughed.
"The witch, she used her last remaining power to break one of the free." He replied.
"She is stronger than we were informed." Malcom replied looking worried.
"No matter." He said putting a hand on Malcom's shoulder.
"We will be much more prepared next time." He added and smiled widely at Malcom.
They would definitely be a next time.
