Dangerous Mind
"It's in your eyes, what's on your mind?"
Bonnie was asleep cuddled up in the blankets of the motel bed. She snuggled deep in the scene of the pillowcase.
Her black silk nightgown hugged her chocolate skin as she flipped her position to get into a more comfortable spot in the bed.
Ever since the events that happened in Mystic Falls, Bonnie had left but not before she whispered the four words she never thought she'd say or felt.
"I love you Damon," she said.
Bonnie awoke to her own voice.
She had said them again.
"That's the fifth time I uttered those words since I left the Falls," said Bonnie, as she sat up in bed flicking the light switch on.
Bonnie went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and use the toilet before going back to bed.
Bonnie sighed as she rubbed her temples.
It had only been a month since Damon had kidnapped and tortured her.
Bonnie sighed disgustingly while getting back into bed. She looked at her bedside clock. It read 4:05am.
"Terrific," she mumbled while she closed her eyes welcoming sleep back.
It was fifteen minutes before she had fallen asleep.
Bonnie was so out of it, she didn't even know she had been wanted.
The clerk at the motel had been watching the news and she was on it.
He watched the television very closely trying to get the entire story of what the hell had gone on a few towns over.
On the television, an anchorwoman dressed in a green dress suit with short black hair was on site in the forest, while behind her there were bulldozers digging out a gravesite.
"The police have found the body of 54 year old David Bennett. Mr. Bennett was reporting missing over a month ago. This man isn't the first victim in this area of Virginia. Ever since last year, people have gone missing or wound up dead from severe animal attacks. An anonymous tip was called in telling the whereabouts of the deceased. There are no leads on who did this horrible crime. The only suspect so far is David Bennett's daughter Bonnie Bennett, who also has mysteriously disappeared. If anyone has any information, they are to call the Mystic Falls police. This is Sandy Redwood channel seven news," said Sandy before she was off the screen.
On the screen was a picture Bonnie Bennett and the number to the police station.
The man put the television on mute as he looked at Bonnie's picture which appeared on the screen.
"That's her," he said before he picked up the phone and called the number on the screen.
Bonnie was again awoken to a huge bang on her door.
She screamed as she bolted up off the bed and up against the wall.
"This is the police! Open up!" said the men from outside.
"OK," said Bonnie in fear before she opened the door only to be shoved to the bed, her hands behind her back as handcuffs were clicked on her wrists.
"Ow!" she cried.
"Please I didn't do anything!" yelled Bonnie.
"You have to come with us," said the officer.
He led Bonnie out the motel room and into the back of a police cruiser.
Bonnie flustered as she only had on a black silk nightgown which wasn't enough to hide her body.
She shut her eyes and cried.
She knew they would find her. Bonnie just knew it.
Bonnie was being taken back to Mystic Falls.
A few hours later, Bonnie had been placed in an interrogation room alone with one light shining on her with a big mirror in front of her.
Bonnie didn't cry, she didn't move. She just stared at the mirror knowing full well there were people on the other side staring at her trying to figure her out.
Bonnie broke the stare with the mirror. She closed her eyes drifting off.
She hadn't been off for long when the door opened and Sheriff Forbes stepped in.
She looked at Bonnie.
"You know don't you?" she asked Bonnie.
Sheriff Forbes sat at the opposite side of Bonnie while handing her a cup of water.
Bonnie drank it down fast.
"I do know," said Bonnie.
"But I didn't do it," said Bonnie.
"If you didn't do it, why did you run away? You didn't make a good name for yourself Bonnie. But I do know that you know who did and I need you to tell me," said Sheriff Forbes.
"All I can tell you is that a vampire did it. I saw the marks," said Bonnie.
"Bonnie if you tell me, we can get rid of it. It wouldn't be a nuisance for you or for me. It could never kill again," said Sheriff Forbes.
"You don't know that. Maybe it'll change," said Bonnie. She almost gagged when she was standing up for Damon Salvatore.
"Do you have any authentic proof to hold me here?" asked Bonnie.
"Not yet," responded Sheriff Forbes as she leaned back in her chair.
"Then I want to go home please," said Bonnie with pleading eyes.
"You can't go home. It's an official crime scene, but you are more than welcome to stay with me and Caroline until further notice and so that I can also keep a close eye on you," said Sheriff Forbes.
"You got a deal but you are barking up the wrong tree. I'm innocent and I am willing to take a lie detector test to prove I'm right," said Bonnie.
"Let me get you some clothes and a ride home," said Sheriff Forbes before she left the room.
Bonnie waited until Sheriff Forbes came back with a shirt and jeans for Bonnie to wear out.
Bonnie changed with the light above her went out.
"Thanks," she said to Sheriff Forbes.
Bonnie was dressed. Sheriff Forbes escorted her outside.
Bonnie blinked at the sunlight.
"Your ride is on its' way," said Sheriff Forbes.
"Someone else is driving me? Who?" asked Bonnie.
"Hello Bonnie," said a familiar voice.
Bonnie almost fainted when Damon Salvatore appeared from out of nowhere.
"Ready for your ride home my dear?" he asked as he kissed her hand.
Bonnie was speechless.
All she could do was stare at Damon.
The nightmare had returned.
