We All Want Her;;
Chapter One
There was something about the green-eyed witch that intrigued Damon, made him want to be around her, which was immensely strange seeing as all he does is argue with her all the time and who likes to argue with someone all the fucking time? Sure he's literally has all the time in the world, until someone stakes him through the heart and burns him to ashes, but fighting with someone constantly can tire a person out. That is if they were anybody other then a Miss. Bonnie Bennett.
But everybody knows that Damon has had more then his share of bad luck with women. First he falls in love with a woman who's claims to only have kept him around for her own entertainment as she's only ever loved Stefan, his perfect little brother that everyone seems to like better then him. Then there was Elena, Katherine's doppelganger and total opposite. Elena was the one person who saw him as a different person, a person that has hope and a chance to feel like a human again. But that isn't what Damon wants; he had come to see himself as a vampire a long time ago. He wasn't human anymore and there wasn't any chance of him being one either. Plus, Elena was head over heels in love with his brother, no surprise there. And then there was the late Andie Star, his compelled fake girlfriend who was brought to her death by the hands of his changed brother, lets rewind, that was the reason why Elena would never be with him.
Even with Stefan gone rampaging around the east coast and taking back his old name, the Ripper, Damon still doesn't see any chance of him being able to sweep Elena off her feet and into his arms, and away from Stefan's. Reason one: Elena was practically Stefan's soul mate; they would eventually die old together. Scratch that, Elena would die old and Stefan would probably find a way to die along with her. Reason two: Damon was to set on the idea of bringing Stefan back home and away from Klaus's clutches to even have time to think about whooing Elena's heart, although there was enough time for Damon to think about Bonnie. Like why did she disappear for part of the summer when they needed her to help find Stefan? And why did she look so different now that she's come back home? Was it because wherever she went didn't put stress on her the way Mystic Falls does? Whatever the reason, Damon just couldn't pull his eyes away from her.
"So it's Stefan leaving trails of body parts?" Bonnie asked, staring at the folder that Elena and Damon pieced together on all that they could find related to Stefan and Klaus. She was finding it hard to believe that Stefan could be so…murderous and animalistic.
Bonnie started rubbing her temples, already feeling a migraine coming on even though she just arrived at the boarding house fifteen minutes ago. Her somewhat relaxed summer had already come to an end the second she arrived back into Mystic Falls.
Elena nodded her head in confirmation. "But we're not giving up," Elena started to say. "I know there's a way to save him, we just have to find one."
"But the last time Damon called me, he said that it's too late to save Stefan," Bonnie stated, glancing over at Damon who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He wasn't paying full attention at the "team meeting" as he was too busy observing Bonnie from where he stood.
"You called Bonnie and told her that?" Elena asked, watching Damon curiously. She didn't know that Bonnie and Damon were on speaking, none the less were having telephone calls without her knowing throughout the summer.
"Well, I just wanted to keep her up to speed with the rest of us so she wasn't too out of the loop," Damon answered, smirking at Bonnie who just rolled her eyes back at him. Truth was the last call that he made to Bonnie was to inform her of how out of hand Stefan had become now that he was with Klaus and that she shouldn't try to aid Elena if she did ask for Bonnie's help. "And to answer your question Miss. Bennett, I changed my opinion. I think Stefan can be still…rescued. I saw for myself that Stefan hasn't totally given himself to the dark side, yet that is. Therefore we need to get Stefan back soon or else he might really give up the humanity he is clinging onto so desperately."
"Okay," Bonnie said nodding her head, as she looked around the room at the faces of the people that she would trust her life with. "So what are we going to do? You guys have a plan don't you? Isn't that why you called me over here?"
Bonnie observed everyone as they broke eye contact with her and stared around the room aimlessly, that is everyone but Damon who she has noticed hasn't stopped looking at her since she entered the boarding house.
"Here's the thing," Damon started to say. "We don't exactly have a plan, so we were kind of hoping that winging it might lead us somewhere."
Bonnie stared at Damon, then Elena, then Caroline and lastly Alaric in disbelief. This so called urgent team meeting was spiraling down and Bonnie couldn't help but feel as though that it might now be impossible to bring Stefan back home.
"There's no plan?" Bonnie asked. She ran her hand through her thick, brown, curly locks of hair before letting out a defeated sigh. "So what your basically saying is that we have nothing to go on?"
"Yes and no," Elena said.
Bonnie raised her eyebrows. "What kind of answer is that?" Bonnie asked, her shoulders slouching, a sign of defeat. She watched as everyone looked at each other around the room, avoiding eye contact with her in the process. "What aren't you guys telling me?" She asked, impatiently.
"Look Bonnie," Elena started to say, using a soft pleading voice that Bonnie knew all to well. Bonnie knows that Elena would only use that tone when she has bad news. "It's not that we didn't think of you, but we really think you can help us out here. You know I wouldn't ask you of such things, Bonnie," But Elena didn't get to finish what she was saying because Damon cut her off.
"Look, Klaus needs a witch and your that witch," Damon stated. He didn't like how Elena treated everyone like babies, sure she would make a good mother to someone one day but it just annoys the heck out of everyone how she has to sound so motherly and caring all the time.
Bonnie stood silent in disbelief. She wasn't quite sure if she really heard her friend imply that she go with Klaus in exchange for Stefan. And at that moment, she could feel her blood boiling and her face getting hot.
"So you want to exchange me for Stefan?" Bonnie asked, wanting clarification seeing as she wasn't the type to come to conclusion with little information so easily. She didn't want to make a big scene in case she concluded wrongly.
"Yes and no," Damon answered. "We'll save you." Bonnie turned her head and watched as Damon straightened his body and made his way over to her.
"We can't risk Bonnie just to get Stefan back!" Caroline exclaimed. She didn't know that Damon and Elena were thinking about exchanging Bonnie in turn for Stefan or else she wouldn't have come to the meeting willingly.
Alaric nodded his head in agreement with Caroline and the look Jeremy was giving to his own sister looked murderous, which made Bonnie feel a little better knowing that not all of her friends were willing to give her away like most. Although it really did hurt Bonnie to know that her best friend in the world would want to send her to her potential death just to get her murdering vampire boyfriend that she wasn't even to sure wanted to be saved back into her arms. Sure, Bonnie knew that most girls choose guys over their friends but this was just unbelievable to her.
"Look, we aren't technically giving Bonnie away to Klaus," Damon started to explain. "We know he wants a powerful witch, aka Bonnie, so he can find the original witch family that cursed him so we are going to use Bonnie as bait and reel him out and then we kill him. Bonnie isn't going anywhere."
"I'm still not with the idea of using Bonnie to lure Klaus out," Caroline said, hands on her hips. She looked like she wasn't going to budge and neither did Jeremy.
"There has to be another way," Alaric stated. He still look disheveled, signs still showing that he was still grieving but he looked much better then he did over the summer. "We can find another way," He told Bonnie, looking at her with sincere eyes that relaxed her in her panicky state.
Bonnie nodded her head slowly, and walked away from the center of the room, away from the center of everybody's attention, and stopped in front of the glass window of the library. Everything looked so peaceful and undisturbed from the outside, but of course everyone knew eventually that a storm would come. Calm before the storm. Bonnie let out a low sigh, and pressed her hand against the window. She could hear everyone else behind her striking up another argument but she didn't care. She was too tired and confused to think about anything at the moment.
"And what if there's no other way?" Bonnie whispered to herself, staring at her own reflection on the window. She didn't know nor didn't care that Damon was the only one who could hear her words, which caused Damon to look over at her direction with, for once, confused eyes.
Now Damon found himself thinking, does he really want to use Bonnie as bait? To risk her life to bring back Stefan? But he shook those thoughts right out of his head, he shouldn't be thinking about Bonnie's well being. But then why was he having second thoughts on his and Elena's plan?
Hey everyone! Please review and tell me what you think.
Even though the story says its a Damon and Bonnie fanfiction, I still don't know who she'll end up with.
But let me know who you are rooting for Bonnie to end up with, it'd might help sway my decision later one.
Thanks again for reading,
