Well I just couldn't stay away from Bamon! So here I am again trying out a new fic. If I had to give it a place in the Vampire Diaries timeline…I would say, its right as Katherine shows up at the boarding house with the necklace.

Now, I have to confess…I didn't watch the Bonnie-less episodes, so I may be tweaking a few things that happened…but the question is…do you trust me?

The future seemed so bright
Then this thing turned out so evil
I don't know why I'm still surprised
Even angels have their wicked schemes

~Rihanna: Love The Way You Lie, Part 2

Damon Salvatore stared at Katherine Pierce smirking at him with Elena's necklace dangling from her fingers, "So do you want to accompany me on a little trip?" Katherine purred.

Damon looked at the necklace and narrowed his eyes, "Why would I want to go anywhere with you?"

"Aww Damon, there is no need to act that way…you know you want to spend some quality time with me, especially since Elena is not too happy with you and you appear to have lost Alaric…"

"What do you want?"

"I want to help you get Stefan back…I happen to know that Klaus is looking for this and if we give it back to hi,, we will be able to get Stefan…if that's what you want?" Katherine smirked.

Damon stared at the necklace, "We don't know where Klaus is".

"I do".

"And how do I know that this is not some kind of trap, that you are not setting me up and how did you get the necklace anyway, its Elena's and I know she didn't give it to you".

"Maybe she threw it away".

"Threw it away…she wouldn't do that".

"Why? Because of Stefan?" Katherine smiled.

"Where did you get the necklace?" Damon leaned forward widening his eyes staring into Katherine's brown ones.

She smiled as someone began rapping on the front door rapidly. Damon looked over to the door and starting walking towards it, "I wouldn't get that if I were you", Katherine warned behind him.

Damon glared back as he walked over to the door opening it to a frowning witch who stormed in, "Where's Elena…", Bonnie asked looking around.

"Elena…she's not here…"

"Do you know where she is?" Bonnie asked facing him.

"No, I don't…we're not exactly on speaking terms at the moment…why don't you just go to her house and maybe you will find her", Damon said starting to escort Bonnie to the front door.

"Katherine's in town", Bonnie said shaking out of his grasp, "and she has Elena's necklace, we have to get it back before…"

"Before what…?" Katherine asked walking into the foyer, "before I do something dastardly with it?"

Damon watched as Bonnie narrowed his eyes. He wasn't sure exactly what he should do at the moment. A part of him wanted to stand back and watch the show, but another part of him knew that this wouldn't end well.

"Give the necklace back to me", Bonnie said walking towards Katherine.

"Why…it doesn't belong to you".

"It doesn't belong to you either", Bonnie stated as she looked at the necklace and suddenly the necklace began to turn red in Katherine's hands.

"Oww!" Katherine dropped the necklace to the floor as Bonnie held out her hand and it floated back to her.

"Leave town", Bonnie hissed.

"Damon…you can't let her leave…that's the only way you will get Stefan back, it's the only bargaining chip you will have!" Katherine called as Bonnie walked towards the doorway.

Damon looked towards the door which Bonnie was ten seconds away walking out of, "Bonnie…wait!" he sped over to her blocking the doorway, "we need that necklace to get Stefan back from Klaus".

"Why?"

"Because it…Klaus wants it".

"Who says?" Bonnie asked.

Damon watched as Katherine sped over to Bonnie and grabbed her, exposing her neck, "I say!" Katherine said biting down on Bonnie's neck as Bonnie screamed and then slowly slumped in Katherine's arms.

SSSSSS

An hour later, Damon glanced in the rearview mirror as he drove down the hallway. Bonnie was lying in the back of the car unconscious and then he looked at Katherine, "You didn't have to do that".

"She was going to take the only thing that stood in between you getting Stefan back", Katherine defended.

"You almost killed her".

Katherine rolled her eyes, "I didn't almost kill her, she's strong and when did you start to care?"

"I don't care…but she's on my side…well, most of the time and I need the witch alive".

"She's still alive…I just incapacitated her for awhile, you know how witches can be…so judgmental…so annoying", Katherine sighed, "and besides, I didn't see you stopping me as I was biting into her…in fact, it looked as if you wanted a taste…"

Damon ignored her last statement and changed the statement, "Where are we going?"

"Miami, that's where Klaus is and that's where Stefan is".

"Why would they be there?" Damon asked.

Katherine looked over at Damon, "Do you know how many young and dumb coeds are down there?"

"Point made, but why are you doing this…why do you care whether I get Stefan back or not?"

"I have my reasons", Katherine said looking out of the window.

"And what would that reason be?" Damon asked glancing at her.

Katherine smirked, "All you need to know is that we exchange Stefan for the necklace and everyone will be happy".

"Ok, then answer me this…why did you insist on bringing the witch who will be very upset and angry when she wakes up?" Damon asked gesturing towards the back.

"Do you want to see Klaus without a witch?" Katherine retorted, "granted, I am not a fan of hers…she is nothing like Emily, but she has power…and I guess she's on your side, moreso than mine…so she will aid us if anything goes wrong".

Damon looked back towards the road as he crossed the state line. This was crazy. This was completely ridiculous and he wasn't sure it didn't border on a nightmare. He was stuck in a car with the crazy psycho bitch who basically ripped his heart out of his chest and ate it and the judging, powerful, teen witch who would more than likely kill them all when she woke up. He was in hell and maybe this was his punishment for doing soo many bad things in his life.

Damon gripped onto the steering wheel and looked towards the other cars on the road as he felt a stabbing pain in his head. He gripped the sides of his head taking his hands off of the steering wheel.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" Katherine screeched as she grabbed the wheel too late as the car was sent careening off of the road and into some trees. Both of the airbags deployed as Damon and Katherine were smacked in the faces with the white bags.

"The witch…", Damon mumbled as he felt the blood trickle out of his nose and into his mouth.

Katherine touched her forehead, "That bitch!" she hissed as she turned around and noticed the back door was open.

Bonnie ran through the trees breathing heavily, she wasn't sure where she was or how far she could get before Damon and Katherine tracked her down, but she was determined to get away from then. The branches sliced her skin as she ran blindly through the woods. Katherine had tricked her into giving her the necklace and then she took a bite out of her and Damon watched. Damon. She thought he changed. She thought that at the very least he was becoming someone that could see an ally right in front of his face. He watched as Katherine tried to drain her and then helped kidnap her for god knows what reason. She was still a little weak, but she used whatever power she had to give Damon that aneurysm. The only thing she could concentrate on was getting away from those two psycho vampires.

Bonnie looked around at the darkness and finally she felt a coldness envelop her. She looked around drawing her arms around her body and then she could hear the footsteps behind her, "Your little tricks won't work on me", Katherine vamped up and charged towards her, but was blocked by Damon speeding in front of Bonnie.

"Katherine leave her alone" .

"She tried to kill us…we don't need this…let me kill her!" Katherine started to move forward.

"I don't need your help you psycho…I will end her just like I wanted to end Klaus!" Bonnie screeched.

"Oh try it Little Bennett Witch", Katherine smirked.

"Both of you…just shut up!" Damon stood in between them, "Bonnie…will you just stop being a judgey little thing for two seconds and Katherine, tone down the psycho vampire bitch for a moment…"

Bonnie's eyes went wide, "She bites into me and you help her kidnap me to do god knows what…and you are telling me to shut up, you know I can still set you on fire…my god Damon, I thought that you had changed just a little, but I see that's impossible...", she raged.

"Look…if you would give me a moment to explain…you will understand why all of this happened".

"No, I won't understand why this happened…you let Katherine bite me and kidnap me…"

"We need your help to get Stefan back", Damon turned to Bonnie as Katherine paced behind him.

Bonnie folded her arms and stared at Damon, "What?"

"Katherine knows where Stefan is and she says that we can use the necklace to get him back".

Bonnie looked past Damon to Katherine who pursed her lips into a cocky smirk, "And you trust her? This is clearly a set up…Katherine doesn't care about anyone or anything but herself, do you think that she would just help you or anyone out of the goodness of her heart…she wants something".

"You don't know what you're talking about witch", Katherine spat out.

"Oh…so you just want to help get Stefan back because…"

"Because I care about Stefan and I want him safe away from Klaus", Katherine replied sweetly.

Bonnie rolled her eyes, "Damon, you can't possibly believe her".

"We've been looking for months and this is the only lead we have…Katherine may be an untrustworthy bitch, but I do believe that she will help us get Stefan back…"

"You are out of your mind", Bonnie snorted.

"And then she will request something…I am sure", Damon turned to Katherine who raised an eyebrow.

"We cannot trust her".

"And she is the only option we have at the moment…you know how heartbroken Elena is…you know that she's lost soo much in such a short time and Stefan…well…she loves him".

"When did you start to care so much, from what I hear everyone believes that you are after her now anyway?"

"Stefan is my brother and I want to find him and as for Elena…you care about her happiness and her happiness is with Stefan", Damon said feeling as if he was choking on every single word. He wanted Stefan back, that was true. But there was also the factor that he had a clear path to Elena with Stefan gone, but it wasn't the same without Stefan there brooding and warning him away from Elena…it just didn't have the same pizzazz.

"You expect me to believe that you could be that selfless?" Bonnie scoffed.

"No, I don't expect you to believe it…but I do expect you to believe that we could possibly get Stefan back for Elena", Damon leaned down to stare directly into her eyes, "and I know that you would do anything for Elena…even make a deal with the devil".

Bonnie rolled her eyes as she looked over at Katherine and then back at Damon. She didn't trust Damon or Katherine, but it was true. Stefan had been gone for months. There were no leads and Elena was falling apart day by day. Katherine wanted something, Bonnie knew it…but just maybe…MAYBE…in the midst of her getting what she wants, they would find Stefan.

"Fine…fine…I will go with you two, but if anyone touches me again…someone is getting set on fire", Bonnie brushed past Damon glaring at Katherine walking back towards the car.

Katherine narrowed her eyes as Bonnie walked past her, "If the witch steps out of line, I will rip her heart out", she hissed walking through the woods following behind Bonnie.

"If they keep hissing at each other, I will stake myself", Damon mumbled to himself as he followed Katherine and Bonnie.
