Hello all those out there in Fanfiction-land. Though I've dabbled in Fan-type fiction before, I can honestly say this is my VERY FIRST fan fiction story.
I'm a fan of "The Vampire Diaries" and I wanted to focus a lot of the attention on my favorite character in the TV Series, Bonnie Bennett. I think she is an awesome character, but doesn't get the respect she deserves on the show. I also think that the chemistry between she and Damon is undeniable, and like so many fans out there yearning for this relationship to happen, I couldn't help but want to add in my own take on how this relationship would blossom.
NOTE: This is my first Fan Fic EVER, so plz, if it seems as if though the characters aren't what you'd expect them to act like - give it time. I'm still trying to get a feel for 'em. Secondly, I don't want to rush this relationship either...I want the bond between Damon and Bonnie to progress at a believable pace, thus prepare for a lot (and I mean a lot of hate) between these two in the first couple of Chapters. Third, please do not hesitate to comment and give me your honest opinions. I strive to do better with writing and I encourage constructive criticism to the fullest.
As far as a Timeline is concerned, this story picks up right after the "Memory Lane" episode and thus takes on a life on its own. I would follow alongside with the show, but I'm not that creative, lol. Anyway, that's enough of my blabbering...enjoy the story :)
Chapter 1 - New Tactics
Bonnie Bennett sat in class, listening to her history teacher carry on about the importance of American History and why the class wouldn't be where they were without it. Quite honestly, Bonnie could give a rat's ass about American History at that point. Hell, she was just beginning to learn about her own history as a witch, and the close history shared with those that were vampires. If there was one class she wished she could take it was Witches/Vampires History 101. Although the need for a history class would not be needed if her Grams where still alive, teaching her the basics of magic and all the secrets that came along with it. How Bonnie's heart ached at the simple thought of her dear grandmother - the woman who sacrificed her life for nothing but a pair of selfish vampires, Stefan and Damon Salvatore.
The two vampires, though brothers, were completely different from one another. Stefan was much more tolerable to deal with and much more human-acting. He didn't feed from humans plus he was dating Bonnie's best friend, Elena Gilbert, so that earned him some brownie points…some. His bastard of a brother however, Damon, could easily be described as the Devil incarnated. With no regard to human life and having the insatiable appetite to use people whenever the opportunity aroused, Damon was the main reason as to why so many things in Bonnie's life was wrong. He had brought so much death and baggage along to the once sleepy town of Mystic Falls that Bonnie felt nothing but obligation to protect it. The Founder's Court wasn't doing so well (especially since Damon was a member) and the recent discovery of Werewolves only added more drama to Bonnie's already complicated life. If there was ever a time that she wished that life was merely a bad dream…this was the time she had wished to wake up.
The school bell rang which signaled all of the students in classrooms to get off school grounds and go home. Bonnie wasted no time in grabbing her books and clutching them close to her chest, making her way hurriedly through the hallways and out towards the parking lot, the young woman stopped in her steps as she looked out into the distance. Having to narrow her hazel green eyes towards the figure, Bonnie merely perched her lips together as she tried to hide within the crowd to loose sight of Elena. The two hadn't been talking to each other, not since the witch made a magic ring for newborn vampire friend, Caroline, to walk into the sun. Once the witch was out of line-sight of Elena, she made her way to her blue Hybrid and stopped short in front of the driver's door as she looked at the mirror in front of her. In the reflection she saw herself frowning at the dark figure that was standing menacingly behind her, his arms crossed over each other. Turning her body slowly around, she met eyes with the serious expression that was plastered on the man's face.
"You lit me on fire, you little witch," Damon spat out, those brilliant blue eyes of his scaling the caramel skinned woman as if though she would be his next meal. To say that the vampire was a bit pissed about Bonnie setting him on fire would be the understatement of the century; he wanted so badly to lunge his teeth to the golden neck of hers and savagely devour her life-force for himself. Maybe if he weren't so preoccupied with trying to figure out the Lockwood's family secret then maybe he would have. But better late than never, right? "You know, I have half a mind to break that pretty little neck of yours and leave you here in the parking lot to rot. Then maybe we can call it even?" A sinister smirk played at the corner of his mouth, causing Bonnie to narrow those emerald eyes of hers even more.
"You're right, Damon," she responded through gritted teeth, "You do have half a mind. Especially if you think that I would hesitate to light your ass on fire again for all the shit you've done. Don't test me, Damon…I am not to be tested."
"Oh, on the contrary. I have every intention of making your life a living hell for what you did to me back at that carnival. So if you think that that little Migraine-trick of yours is going to work forever, you've got another think coming." The vampire inched closer to the woman which prompted her to back up against her car. Damon extended a hand forward and leaned it against her blue Hybrid, his eyes growing black and the veins around his face becoming more prominent. The next couple of words he spoke where mere growls of anger, "I tried to do the whole 'nice thing' but that obviously doesn't do shit for you. So the way I see it - watch your back witch. Because one day you're going to be caught off guard, and then it's lights ou-"
But before Damon could finish his sentence, a excruciating pain began to grow in his head. The pain was all too familiar to him thus causing him to curse under his breath as he quickly fell to the ground in agony. Bonnie's eyes were wide and filled with anger while she glared down at the vampire in immense pain. She didn't care if there were onlookers about, she was too preoccupied with making sure that Damon was hurting just as bad physically as she had been emotionally (if not mentally too).
"You still haven't learned, have you?" Bonnie said almost too calmly, taking a step towards the vampire with every word she spoke. "Nothing you've said or done is new to me at this point, Damon. You wanna threaten me? Then make sure you're using a tactic I haven't seen or heard from you before. In the meantime, stay the hell away from me!" Several students passing by looked on at the vampire on the ground screaming and twitching in agony, his hands clutched to his head firmly. Bonnie never took her eyes off Damon, even as she began to back away and jump into the driver's seat of her car. It wasn't until she started the engine and began to drive out of the parking lot did Damon feel the pain of the little witch's power subside.
The first emotion that rose from Damon was that of anger; pure hate and rage that he could have easily taken out on the blonde girl getting into her car nearby. He was just about to when something clicked in his head. Something that, despite the lingering pain within his head, caused the menacing vampire to smile sinisterly to himself. Nodding his head towards the direction in which Bonnie drove off, the man started on his way to make sure that he lived up to Bonnie's suggestion.
"You want to see new tactics, Bennett? Well then…today is your lucky day."
So there you have it...my first Fan Fic, EVER! I have my second chapter already done and ready to go, but I'd rather wait and hear what all of you have to say before i proceed forward. Your opinions can greatly affect how I edit my story in the future. Thnx 4 reading!
