Past mistakes, future surprises.
Disclaimer – I do not own the Vampire Diaries. This was written for fun so don't sue me lol All mistakes are my own, and there will be many.
I had loved Damon Salvatore ever since the moment I had laid eyes on him, but he had never noticed me. Well that's not exactly the truth, he cared for me – but it was more like the way you care for a beloved family pet. I wanted more from him, I had ever since the day he kissed me. It was just a shame he only did it to anger his brother.
Damon had been after Elena for years, just to anger his brother. He had even told her he loved her. And it broke my heart every time I saw them together. Elena loved Stefan always had and always will. And despite a few momentary setbacks caused by Damon's charm, they were the perfect couple and it made me sick.
I know I sound selfish or as jealous as hell but Elena got everything. She had the beautiful Salvatore brothers fighting over her for years. And little Bonnie always had to wait around for what little attention Damon had to spare. That was about to change and I was the happiest I had ever been, until my temper got in the way.
Over the years Damon and Elena's relationship had changed, they became close. They were beginning to think of each other as brother and sister, and Damon's infatuation had waned. We had started to spend more time together and I knew that Damon cared about me. But I was surprised when he asked me out on a date. And it was as we were leaving for this date, things went drastically wrong. And it all began with a fight.
"Bonnie I swear I didn't mean anything by it ." Damon said as he grabbed my arm to try and stop me from storming away.
"Don't you even dare to speak to her right now Damon, you are treading on thin enough ice as it is" Elena said as she tried to position herself between the badass Vampire and the very pissed off witch. Even Stefan had taken a few steps closer to his brother, knowing things could get ugly fast.
"Aw come on Red, you know me. I didn't mean it to come out the way it did" Damon said as he took hold of my arm and swung me around to face him.
Normally I would have laughed at his statement. Damon really didn't think before he spoke sometimes, and I knew he didn't mean anything by it. But right now I was far to pissed.
"I meant it as a compliment Red I swear. You are a powerful witch, so work your mojo on that pimple and let's get the hell out of here, before we lose our table." He said making the whole he dug for himself that little bit deeper
"A compliment, you're so full of it Damon. If you didn't want to go out with me, if you had changed your mind you could have just told me." I said to him as the tears I had been trying to hold in since the start of our fight, slowly made their way down my cheeks.
"Bonnie, you know that Damon doesn't think before he speaks. I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt you, it's just that we are running late." I couldn't believe Stefan was sticking up for him. Or that he was saying that this was my fault for wanting to take a little time to cover up the pimple. So I could look my best for our first date.
"Do you know what screw you both, Why don't you two just get the hell out of here and enjoy the restaurant together, better yet why don't you both go to hell." I told them as Damon let go of my arm like he had been burnt and I stormed away.
I didn't get very far before Elena's screams ruined my dramatic exit.
"Bonnie what the hell did you do?"
What the hell had I done? I thought as I turned to look at Elena's problem was. That's when I noticed that Stefan and Damon where nowhere to be seen. All that remained where they had been stood were their shoes.
"Bonnie, you sent my boyfriend, our boyfriends to hell. You've got to do something about it now. I couldn't go on living if something happened to Stefan." She was overreacting, she had to be. There was no way I had that kind of power.
"Elena, I don't think I did anything to them." I told her hoping that what I was saying was true. "You know Damon, he is probably after a little payback" I tried to reassure her, but she didn't look too convinced.
"Damon, come on. Stefan… You've had your fun" I shouted, hoping that sometime soon Stefan would feel guilty and step out from where they were hiding.
"Damon, Stefan. I'm sorry, please…" I begged again. But nobody came running out, laughing at their prank. And I was left terrified over what I had done. And I knew I must face the consequences of my reckless use of magic.
Elena's POV
Bonnie had always been short tempered. She had the feistiness to go with her red hair. But Damon seemed to bring the worst out in her. He knew just what buttons to press when he wanted to make her angry, sometimes I think that had been his favorite pastime. And I hate to admit it, but I don't think that this time it was Damon's fault. Well it kind of was, but I don't think he had made her mad intentionally. I believe that he was just impatient for their date to begin.
"Bonnie, it's been over an hour. I really don't think they're coming back. You need to do something now." I told her barely holding back my tears.
She really looked shaken, and I really believe that she hadn't meant to send them away.
"I didn't mean to do it, you know I can't always control my powers."
I knew that, poor Bonnie had been struggling to control her outbursts of power for a while now. The problem intensified when Bonnie was emotional. And Bonnie was emotional now. She loved Damon as much as I loved Stefan. And even though tonight was meant to be their first date, I know she couldn't live without him in her life.
"Bon Bon, I know you didn't. But we have to deal with this thing now. You must know of some spell or something that you can do?"
"There is one thing we can do. We could try a locator spell to find them, it should take us right to them- if I do it right. But Elena I have to tell you, the way I feel right now it could be more than a little risky." And I had to believe her because she looked more than a little scared. But we had to try something.
"To get Stefan back, I would risk anything. I trust you Bonnie" I told her trying to reassure her and hurry her along at the same time.
Bonnie's POV
It took an hour to get the spell ready and that was another hour the guys may not have. I couldn't get my mind off Damon and Stefan, what if they were in danger? I know that if something happened to them I wouldn't be able to carry on, my life would be over.
"Are you ready?" I asked Elena, while gently taking her hand in mine, hoping that she couldn't feel my hands shaking.
"As ready as I'll ever be." She told me while giving my hand a gentle squeeze of encouragement.
It wasn't long after I started my incantation that the room began to swim in front of our eyes. And Elena gripped my hand tighter as the room faded in and out more quickly. It wasn't long before the dark paneled walls of the sitting room in the boarding house began to fade altogether, to be replaced by the greenest grass and the bluest sky I have ever seen.
To say I was shocked at the beauty that was surrounding me would have been an understatement. This was in no way the "HELL" that I imagined to find when we set out on our quest to find our guys. It was gorgeous and I knew if Stefan and Damon were here they would be safe.
"Where are they?" Elena asked be, dragging me out of my thoughts.
Where, were they? The place just seemed far too quiet to me. And I was just starting to think my spell had gone wrong again, when I caught sight of someone familiar sitting under a tree in the distance.
"Elena is that Stefan?" I asked while raising my hand to point to the man sitting under a huge tree in the distance.
"It is Bonnie… It's Stefan" She squealed with joy as she set off for the tree so quickly, that I had to run to keep up.
"Stefan thank god, I've been so worried." She said as she drew closer to the tree and the man reading a book in its shade.
"Stefan?" Elena asked as he looked up from his book and at her.
"Do I know you? He asked..
