Revenge Plan Ch. 3

Disclaimer: I Don't Own TVD

Damon took Stefan's motorcycle and followed the trail of their scent to a convient store. So they didn't stay here they just made a stop. He decided to see if they were really here, he needed to make sure that he was on the right track of following their scent. Then he went inside. The clerk stood there tapping his finger rapidly staring into space.

"Excuse me, sir?" He asked.

"Yes, can I help you?" The clerk asked.

"I had two friends that passed through here. One has an accent and girl he was with..."

"Oh, yes, the lovely couple." The clerk said dreamily.

"Lovely couple?" Uh he did not like the sound of that.

"Oh, yes, they were kissing right over there and I was so enamored with their love that I Iet them have free food and champaign." He said as if he were quoting something cheerily.

"I see." Damon said.

So Enzo used compulsion on this guy. And Bonnie, Judgey, just went along with it? He shook his head, this was not the Bonnie he knew. Sure he knew Bonnie was getting more and more used to dealing and living with vampires, but she was still Judgey, she was not comfortable with compulsion and any of the other things that makes a vampire a vampire. After all of these crazy things they've been through, he always thought there would be a constant and that would be Bonnie and her Judgey ways. Sure she made concessions when it came to saving people's lives but she still had this strong moral compass. She still would not take it lying down to let people get hurt or manipulated and used. He understood Bonnie was probally geting tired of always doing the right thing and having to pay for it. So she was starting to live a little. But this wasn't going to a party and getting wasted and hooking up with a random guy. This was her running around with a dangerous vampire committing petty robery of a convient store. He shook his head, what has happened to Bonnie Bennett?

Then he looked at the clerk square in the eye and said, "You are going to let me see your security camera footage."

"Yes, of course, here's the key."

He gave him a fake smile, "Why thank you."

He took the key and went in the back. Even though it worried him that Bonnie was all of the sudden cool with compulsion it didn't mean he couldn't use it. He was a vampire after all, it was who was.

Bonnie drove for a little while in silence. Enzo could tell by her icy mood that she did not want to be touched at the moment. She didn't like it, but she was on edge. How was she supposed to do this? How was she supposed to run off and have carefree fun with a voltile vampire? Was it going to be like this where ever she went? How could she have fun if she was always worried if he would attack some innocent bystander? She really didn't want to spend her time worrying about who would get hurt. She didn't want to be his babysitter. She didn't want to always stop him from making bad choices every time an oppurtunity presented itself. So then she pulled over to the side of the road.

"Finally." Enzo said as he moved close to her, she slapped his hand as he started to touch her shoulder.

She turned to him resolutely and said, "Look if we're going to do this then we're going to have ground rules."

"I don't think..."

"Nope they are nonnegotiatable. So if you want to have fun with me then you better agree to them or you can hit the road." She said with a fierce fire in her eyes, her hands still planted firm on the wheel.

He smiled and said, "I like a girl who takes charge."

"OK, so the rules are no attacking or hurting people of any kind." Bonnie said.

"After the convient store. I kind of figured." Enzo said.

"There is also no compelling people so you can snack on them. And no biting of any kind, that pertians to other people, but to me as well. I'm not in to that kind of kink, so don't even think about it. So while we are out having fun I don't want to worry about any of that vamp stuff ruining our good time. You got it?"

He looked at her amused and said, "I got it. Do you have a contract you want me to sign or would you simply want to seal it with a kiss?"

Bonnie laughed a little and said, "Enzo, I'm being serious. I don't care what you do on your own time. I'm not on some Elenaesque mission to save every vampire out there. l am not trying to change you. I just want to have some worry free fun."

"I was being completely serious." He began to say while he was playing with her hair.

"I really do think we should seal our little deal with a kiss."

Then he leaned in and kissed her, she fell into the kiss happy he was being ambiacle.

As the kiss deepened warning bells went off in her head. She was making out with Damon's former friend in Damon's car. She had hang ups about making out in places that Damon owned. When she was with Jeremy he wanted to just rendevue in his room at Damon's house. That just gave her all sorts of icky feelings. She didn't like the idea of kissing any place that had anything do with Damon. Part of the reason she never liked his face whenever he interupted her kissing. So anything she could do to prevent that the better. That already happened, she already was caught making out with Enzo at Damon's porch but there was something that just felt...wrong about making out with anyone in Damon's car, especially with Damon's former friend.

She stopped the kissing and said, "Come on we have one more pit stop to make. Then I'll be all yours."

Bonnie smiled mischivously as she went back to the wheel and began to speed.

Damon looked at the security video wondering why he was doing this in the first place. What was the point in putting his eyes through that? He didn't want to sit here and watch Bonnie make out with any one, let alone his friend who now hates him. It didn't bode well for him that it seemed like they were bonding over their simular exsperiences. He hated that they both had to go through that torture. Letting Enzo die was one of the biggest regrets of his life. He tried to always barry his regret deeply. He didn't feel his regret fully until he turned his humanity back on.

He didn't turn his humanity back on until that moment when he thought he was dying in a fire. He saw Anna there dying, she was his friend and there was nothing he could do about it. In that moment he figured karma was paying him back for what he did to Enzo. The irony wasn't lost on him. He was going to die the same way that Enzo died, the same way he let Enzo die. He was going to accept it and he had to feel it. So he turned his humanity back on so he could feel how low and awful it felt. He had to feel what Enzo felt. But then Bonnie of all people saved him. Bonnie, the girl who he tried to kill him, the girl whose grams died because of him. She had no reason to save him. She had every reason to hate him. Oh he knew she did it for Elena anything she did in regards of saving him it was always for Elena, the same went for him when it to came saving her. In that moment he wanted to stay, it was his first bout of actually wanting to stay and protect this place and of course it went back to Elena but it was that moment when he knew he actually wanted Bonnie as a friend. In that moment, Bonnie reminded him of Enzo, but of course that didn't exactly go as planned and Bonnie tried to kill him by fire blaiming him for turning Caroline into a vampire but still.

They had gone through a lot together as allies. Saving eachother's asses, always saving Elena, and this whole freaking town. He shook his head as he saw Bonnie stop Enzo attacking the clerk. He saw her smile sweetly and touch him. He shrugged. Maybe they were good for eachother. Maybe Bonnie was good for him. Maybe Bonnie could be for Enzo what Elena was for him. He shook his head. But wasn't that why he broke up with Elena in the first place? He was bringing her down. She couldn't be there all of the time to prevent him from acting out. She couldn't be his baby sitter. And he wanted her to be angry at him for killing Aaron's entire family for vengence, instead of being so 'understanding' and 'forgiving'. He shook his head. No Elena deserved better and so did Bonnie. He had to stop this, he had to stop it before it got to far. It had to stop before they fell for eachother, because he saw that happening. They both were kindred souls. They both were so unbeleivably and stupidly selfsacraficing to people who didn't deserve it. They both had suffered so much because of their friends. They both had let people walk over them, but at the same time they were huge amazing fighters. No wonder they were immediately drawn to eachother. He knew though that right now it wasn't about emotion. They were using each other. Enzo was trying to get back at him for the whole leaving him in the fire thing and Bonnie was partly getting back at Jeremy for cheating, but mostly he knew she was blowing up and she was tired of always doing the right thing and having to suffer for it.

He sighed. He had to stop this before it was too late.

Bonnie parked Damon's car at her house. She didn't spend too much time here because it reminded her of her father. The place went to her after her father died and she didn't have it in her to sale it just yet. She would visit to get her clothes and things when she visited Mystic Falls on the weekends but she didn't ever sleep here. It felt too sureal, like it was just one of those many times when her father was out of town on his many business trips and he'd be back at any moment. It just hurt too much.

Enzo looked around intrigued. She didn't want to linger here for too long.

"Come on my rooms over here." Bonnie said.

"Your room? Now we're talking." Enzo said.

Bonnie shook her head and said with a crooked smile, "Don't get any ideas. It's just a pit stop for supplies."

"Supplies?"

She led him to her room, where she went straight to the cooler that laid in her closet. She opened it and took a couple bloodbags throwing them to him.

Enzo caught them.

"Thanks? Why may I ask do you have a cooler filled with blood?" Enzo asked curiouly as he bit into it.

Bonnie shrugged, "My best friends are vampires. It goes with the territory I guess."

She then went under her bed and got out a jewlry box and said,"Speaking of them here. Take this too."

She threw him a silver bulky ring.

"I know I've been gone a while but I thought the guy gave the girl the ring as a symbol of their eternal love." Enzo said while examening the ring.

"Don't look into it. It's for survival purposes only. It's a day light ring. So just in case we stay out until sunrise."

"Do you have a big night planned?" He asked with a wicked grin.

"Maybe? Or maybe I just want this little adventure to last before I have to go back to reality."

He pulled her by her hips grabbing her close to him.

"Don't think about it Bonnie. Your reality, it doesn't seem very fun." Enzo stated trying to distract her.

"Yeah, I know, but I have to get back to it sometime." Bonnie said looking away from him.

"No you don't. You don't have to do anything." Enzo said.

She pushed him away looking around at her room.

"I just can't...I mean it's one thing to take the night off, but I can't just turn off who I am and ignore reality forever. And the reality is that somehow someway the veil is down and even though I'm not even a witch anymore. I am the one who is going to have to fix it. " Bonnie said resigned at the sad fact.

He was about to say something but she cut him off and said, "And don't say I don't have to because I do. What ever is happening is probally all my fault anyway. The last time this happened I died."

"You died?" Enzo asked.

"Yeah."

"Your not a vampire."

"Your oftly observant. I was a witch. The last time the veil went down it was my job to close it back up, but instead of just closing it I did one last spell to bring Jeremy back."

"The cheeting boyfriend?" Enzo asked.

"Yeah. I died, but he could see me, he got this supernatural power where he can see ghosts. And I was ok for that sacrifice because at least he would be alive and his sister would be happy to have her brother back." Bonnie defended weakly.

"But you would be dead." Enzo said.

"I thought it would be enough." Bonnie said in a low voice.

"But it wasn't." Enzo stated knowingly.

"No, it wasn't. I wasn't ready to say goodbye. I liked walking around seeing my friends be happy, but I wasn't ready to say goodbye to the idea of me not getting to live my life. So I haunted everyone for a few months until Jeremy finally told everyone and then I finally said goodbye." Bonnie said whistfully.

"OK, I'm confused."

"Yes, well you know at everyone's funeral how either the pastor or their loved ones talk about the person and how great their life was and well lived they were and how they'd always be remembered."

"Yeah."

"Well, my funeral, that didn't really happen. I didn't really let it. I told Jermey to tell something to all of my friends to tell them to live their lives and move on with out me. So they could have closure."

"But what about you?" Enzo asked.

"I guess I thought that would give me closure, knowing my friends would be ok."

"But you didn't get it." Enzo said.

"No. I didn't. Everyone else accepted it though, except..."

Enzo looked at her waiting for her to continue. She walked around the room trying to get the baring of what she was trying to say and then she finally said,

"Everyone except Damon."

"Damon brought you back to life?" Enzo asked a little surprised but as he shook his head he wasn't that surprised.

"No. He tried, though, and honestly, none of my friends wouldn't have even tried if it weren't for Damon. In the end it was my idea that brought me back to life. You see there was this girl who was the anchor, she held the other side together. So I realized if we just transfere her power to me I could be alive. So in the end that's what we did."

"You finally fought for yourself."

"My friends helped a lot. And I got a second chance at life."

"And you plan on taking advantage of it."

"Yes, but at the end of the day, I am still responsible for so much. And it...finally fighting for myself, so I could live it probally was a mistake. Because doing that and changing things with how the otherside operates it probally caused the veil to open again and for countless undead Supernatural's to roam the earth."

"So what can you do about it? I thought you said you weren't a witch anymore."

"I'm not. But I'm the anchor, I probally can do something...look...last time I took twenty four hours. So that's what I'm taking now. I'm taking a break, it's my day of being weighed down of the responsibilty of the entire supernatural undead. It's my one painfree day, where I can do what ever I want and I just enjoy it, for at least a little while. But after that I will have to fix everything. Like I always do."

"Painfree?" Enzo asked.

"What?"

"You said painfree." Enzo pointed out.

Bonnie shrugged and said, "Oh, I meant worry free."

"No. You didn't. You meant pain. I saw it in your eyes earlier. You have felt extcrusiating pain before. Being this anchor. Does it cause you pain?" Enzo asked as he looked at her intently.

Bonnie didn't know why she was telling him all of this. She didn't mean to, it just came flooding out. She most defintely did not mean to tell him about her pain. She always held that in, she didn't tell anyone about it. Well, except Jeremy, but thinking about it only made her blood boil. Since, it made her feel so utterly underappreciated knowing Jeremy knew what she has given up for him and what she had to live with and he still cheated on her.

She turned away from him, he grabbed her by the arms and turned her towards him.

"Does it cause you pain?" He asked again this time looking deep in her eyes. He held onto her forearms gently caressing them.

"Bonnie you can tell me about it. If anyone is going to understand pain, it's me. I went through years of being poked and proded, I was jabbed, shot, and burned. I was used up every single day for sevety five years. So yes, Bonnie, I know all about pain. If you can tell anyone, you can tell me."

"What's the point in talking about it?"

"You would be surprised at how much talking would help the most hopeless situations."

"And all that you went through, it helped you, to talk about it?"

"It did."

"Damon?"

"Yes. We were cellmates together. Before him there was this girl."

"A girl?"

"She was a science student, an intern, she thought I was another student volunteering for experiments, she was apalled when she found out what they were really doing. But before that I always looked for to seeing her any oppurtuntity to actually talk...it got me through it..."

Bonnie smiled at him and asked, "And Damon?"

"We talked about techniques to get through the pain, about girls, and what we would do when we got out of there. That helped. A lot, you know until he betrayed me."

He said with a huge bitterness and anger.

Bonnie inwardly berated herself for bringing something up that brought those feelings of hatred and revenge towards Damon. She had to remind herself part of the reason she was with him was to distract him from going after Damon.

Bringing them back to the topic at hand she decided to take the plunge and said, "So yeah, maybe your right, talking about the pain, might help. I just...I never really talk about my own pain and heart break, not with my friend's and not with my boyfriend. They always go through so much...I don't want to burden them with it."

"If they've gone through so much, would they not be able to understand it?" Enzo said his british accent pratically chimming in her ears.

Bonnie shrugged, "I suppose. But I just... it's alot. I go through such an excruciating pain. I feel this deep burning and throbbing like my insides are being burst into two. I feel like I am being wripped apart from all different directions. It happens when any supernatural person dies, when they die they pass through me and it hurts so much. It really sucks you know...every time I go through it."

"And there's nothing you can do about it?" Enzo asked with a suprisingly deep seeded sympathy in his eyes.

She sighed, "No."

"If you just let...this other side stay open, you would not have to deal with it."

Bonnie shook her head, "I could not do that. I'd be unleashing countless supernatural creatures who could cause mayham and chaos, not to mention my friends could be in danger."

"Your friends? All the supernaturals?"

"Yes, so... look...Enzo...I don't want to waste my twenty four hours of freedom talking about this. OK? I don't want to dwell on it. I want to just forget about all of this, at least just for a little bit and really enjoy myself. Could you possibly help me with that?" She said with a seductive pout on her lips.

Enzo gave her a rye smile and said, "I'll do what I can to help."

A/N: Thanks for all of the alerts, faves, and reviews! It means a lot! So sorry it took so long to update. I can't beleive it's been months and it was even before the epic season finale where we actually got some good Bamon and Benzo. Although nothing like I truly want from both of them, but that is what fics are for. OK so about Damon thinking about when he turned back his humanity on. I have no idea when he turned his humanity back on, I took liberities here to fit this story and make the Bamon friendship connect a bit with the Denzo friendship and also give a deeper irony to the Benzo relationship. I also added the stuff about Bonnie keeping things for her vamp friends like blood bags and daylight rings because it seemed like Bonnie would be prepared like that. So anyway I hope you guys like this, let me know what you think.
