Hey guys thank you soooo much for the reviews / alerts/ faves I'm so glad! so here's the sequel , I hope you will like it! song: 'Scared of Lonely' by Beyonce


She believed in Heaven; in her mind, Heaven was the most wonderful place in the world: bright, peaceful and quiet…

The constant coldness was unbearable, one of the worst things when death happens to you. The frigidness and pitch darkness; she felt like she was in a cave. There was never enough light to see what was around her. It was cold and even though she didn't need it anymore, there was no air so she always felt like she could drown at any moment.

She can't spend her life/afterlife/death or whatever this was by spending it in this hellhole. She felt like she stuck somewhere in some limbo between life and death and she knew she couldn't stay there for the rest of her existence. No matter what direction she was heading in, she had to keep moving towards somewhere…

The worst thing was the loneliness. She wasn't afraid of that dark cave and the fact that she had to stay there but she feared the fact she had to stay there all alone. She didn't like the idea of being estranged from everyone and everything.

So she did the only thing that she could do: she laid down and closed her eyes in hopes she would find some peace in her sleep…

It didn't take a few minutes before she felt her head start to get fizzy. She felt like she was on a journey, the shortest but the most peaceful she has ever experienced in her whole life.

"You need to stop with these sudden visits; you make me look like a girl with all the fainting."

Bonnie's eyes were as wide as they could ever be as she cracked a disbelieving smile onto her full lips. "Damon..." she whispered the man's name who didn't wait for her to come closer by making his own steps towards her to then close his arms around her tightly.

"Bonnie…how are you?" he asked when they released each other. He knew this was the stupidest question that he could ask but what else should he say? Maybe he should say he's thinking of committing suicide because so far he couldn't find anything in the living world to help him bring her back... Maybe there was a solution on the dead side…and even if there isn't any, it's better to be there with her than to be alive without her.

He can't tell her what he hasn't found because he shouldn't be thinking about things like this. How could he leave Elena alone especially when he finally got her? Why is he suddenly feeling this way towards the witch? What's happening to him?

Bonnie forced a smile "Deadly..." she said then she quickly changed the topic. "How are the others? How are things going with Silas? Have you found someone else who could help you? Another witch…"

Damon's jaw clenched as he looked down at the witch, "For God's sake Bonnie why can't you just think about yourself instead of everyone else in the goddamn town?!" Bonnie was silenced by the vampire's behavior that caught her by surprise. For a long time, they looked into each other's eyes increasing the obvious tension in the room.

Damon was the first to break eye contact but his eyes didn't stroll too far. He looked at Bonnie's delicious lips and she knew he was reminiscing about the last time they locked lips. When he looked into her eyes again, his eyes were different. Bonnie could see the lust in them and weirdly enough, the undeniable fear. "Damon…" she breathed his name but before she could say anything else, Damon closed his eyes and opened them bringing them back to square one—or at least the restraining of feelings desire and want for more.

"Everyone's fine." He stated bitterly. "You just…just stick to dealing with your situation first. You can be the hero again when you come back." With that, he turned his back to Bonnie. It took seeing his back to take a look around the place and realize that she was in the Grill…or at least a carbon copy of the Grill. She followed Damon to a table in the corner.

"I'm sure the other side is very boring you must get lonely." Damon explained when he saw Bonnie's confused face. "I thought you could use some company." "….Or something like that." He added when he looked around and saw the faceless people in the room.

Bonnie smiled and sat down in front of the vampire. After a few moments of silence, Bonnie finally spoke, "So…how long have I been…"she wasn't able to finish the sentence but she looked down at the table in order to try and gain the strength to finish her uncomfortable question.

Damon cleared his throat as he answered for her before she had to go on, "3 days." He stated. Bonnie nodded her head but she kept her eyes on the wooden table. "I'm working on a solution…"Damon lowered his voice as he looked down at Bonnie's hand that was rested on the table. He played with the thought of caressing it or holding it but moments after he moved his own hand toward hers, he stopped himself by continuing the conversation, "I talked to a witch." After hearing the word witch, Bonnie jerked her head up. Damon could easily tell his words had hurt her feelings so he went on to say, "I don't know how long it will take so I asked her to do something… with your…your…" Damon searched for the words but he couldn't find one that won't sound harsh so he was grateful when Bonnie finished his sentence for him, "My corpse."

Damon nodded his head; he felt uneasy to look into Bonnie's eyes so he tried to avoid them. "Have you seen it? Have you seen…me?" Bonnie looked at the table again so she didn't have to see Damon's face twitch. He looked up then blinked a couple of times like something had entered his eyes. Before he answered her, he swallowed then cleared his throat, "No. I haven't had the time to do that yet."

The truth was he wasn't able to see Bonnie this way. He wasn't ready for that—at least not yet. He was afraid that if he saw her dead body, this whole thing would become painfully real and that's the last thing he needs right now. Bonnie needs him to keep believing; to believe in her return to the land of the living.

"Thank you by the way. For helping me I mean." Damon's response was a quick nod. To avoid the 'how's the investigation going' question he talked about earlier. "As much as I enjoy our jabbering, I'm afraid I need to go. You know I have an unsolved case that needs to be solved." He winked at Bonnie and was about to stand up when to his surprise, he felt small fragile fingers clutch around his right forearm.

"Please don't go. Please, Damon." Damon was a little startled by Bonnie's pleading voice he had never witnessed before. He put his hand on hers and squeezed it the way he wanted to earlier but this time he didn't need to plan it, it just naturally happened. "I don't want to go back. I'm…I'm scared." Bonnie looked up at Damon with her eyes full of water. She didn't care she was displaying her weak side to a vampire, that she was doing something she had never done before. She looked into the cerulean blue eyes when she felt him squeeze and say something she never thought she would have to say, "I need you, Damon."

Instantly, Bonnie saw fear flash into his eyes like he was terrified of something. Maybe something that he just happened to have realized. He kneeled down in front of her with their hands still tied together. "Close your eyes." He whispered. Bonnie looked at him confused so he added, "Just trust me."

When she opened her eyes, she was sitting on her bed. Damon stood beside her. "This is my room." She said as she looked around. Damon nodded. "Yes it is."

"But…but how did you know this was my room? You have never been in here."

"And that's because you never politely invited me in like you were supposed to. This is my first opportunity to be here. " Damon said while faking a hurt facial expression that wasn't too successful.

Bonnie couldn't help but smile. She stood up and walked around the room, touching everything she has been missing for some time now. "This is very accurate…even though you never got to see it."

Damon folded his arms and did his signature smirk at the girl, "I never said I didn't see…"

Bonnie raised an eyebrow, "You're saying you were stalking me?"

Damon's grin went even wider, "Stalking is such a little rough; I prefer the word protection. How else do you think I could protect you?"

Bonnie rolled her eyes as she sat back on her bed. "Stalker" she murmured under her nose but due to his efficient super hearing, she was sure Damon had heard her. She thought right because she heard him step closer to declare what he believes he was doing, "Protector."

Bonnie twitched a little when he sat on the edge of the bed but close enough for their knees to touch. She looked at him, "No matter what you say to make yourself sleep at night, in this current generation, we call it stalking."

Damon leaned closer and no matter how hard she tried, Bonnie couldn't look away. "Protection…" Damon said in a raspy tone, no longer smirking. Bonnie wanted to kiss him so badly and it seemed like the feeling was mutual from his end as well but there was an invisible barrier between them, something holding them back. Damon's nose touched hers as they rubbed one another with their lips parting but never making contact. "We can't…" Bonnie whispered after a lot of inner turmoil while Damon nodded his head as he agreed in a disappointed tone, "I know."

Damon pulled back a little as he told her, "Go to sleep". Bonnie took his hand and Damon knew what she wanted. He laid down with her, wrapping his arms around her until she eventually fell asleep.

He felt that weird feeling in his throat again when Bonnie's sleeping body started to get fainter and fainter. He stayed in her bed even after she had completely disappeared and watched the now empty space that she was occupying only moments ago. He closed his eyes as he let a teardrop roll down the left side of his cheek.

I'm scared of lonely
And I'm scared of being the only shadow I see along the wall
And I'm scared the only heartbeat I hear beating is my own
And I'm scared of being alone
I can't seem to breathe when I am lost in this dream, I need you to hold me
I'm scared of lonely
