"Bonnie, go to your room." Abby said in a strange tone of voice. Bonnie was actually more than happy to. She had picked up SOMETHING from this Damon guy, that she just didn't like. Hopefully he wouldn't be staying long.

"Now, now," Damon said, "that wasn't very polite. I barely got to meet the little witch."

Abby gasped and Zach's jaw turned hard.

"Yes, yes," Damon said casually, "I know about Bonnie, I know about you, I know about the Lockwoods...it doesn't sound as if my uncle and you have been forthright with one another? That is no way to begin a relationship! And I resent you sending Bonnie away before I could get a good look at her. I suppose she's home for being naughty? At least that's what the Gossip Girl site said."

Abby turned and closed the double doors to the room, before moving to walk over to her husband.

"What is this?" she asked him.

"I could ask the same of you. Damon is claiming that Bonnie and you are descendants of a witch named Emily Bennett."

"And? Why would that concern you? Zach, what aren't you telling me?"

"This, dear." Damon said and bared his fangs! Abby screamed and Zach wrapped his arms around her.

"Darling, Damon AND Stefan are vampires. This house is really theirs so..."

"Then WE need to move out!" Abby said firmly. Damon retracted his fangs and walked over to the bar for a drink.

"That would not be very nice. Or wise. We need to look like one happy family. Which is why we have to deal with Bonnie and Wolf Boy. That can't be allowed to continue. It wouldn't be good for the family." Damon purred.

Suddenly, the door to the room opened and Stefan walked in. He had sensed his brother's presence in town and was just confirming that his intuition was right.

"Damon." was all he said.

"Brother." was all Damon replied. Stefan looked at Zach and Abby.

"Uncle Zach, Abby, I need to speak to my brother alone."

Zach nodded and pulled on Abby's hand. Soon, they had the room to themselves.

"What are you doing here, Damon?"

"How many times do you plan to go to highschool?"

"Okay," Stefan said, folding his arms, "let's try this again: why are you here?"

"I need a witch to do something for me, okay? You know, I've been following you. That Gilbert girl looks alot like Katherine."

"I'm just making sure she's not." was Stefan's reply.

"Before you date her? Oh and I know she's not. But she's cute." Damon said.

Stefan raised a brow. What was that crack about 'he knew she wasn't'. What was going on with him?

"Okay, be cryptic. But you can't stay here." Stefan told him.

"Uh, hello, I think I can!"

"Look, the family is in the midst of a lot of turmoil."

"I know! Who is this Gossip Girl chick anyway? Is she a copycat of the New York one?"

"Apparently." Stefan sighed.

"Well whomever she is, she's good."

"Is she?" Stefan questioned. "Because I think it's interesting that Bonnie is referred to as a witch and Tyler a wolf. Bonnie doesn't exactly try and hide it but Tyler..."

"Your saying the blasts could get more specific? Meaning you could be mentioned as 'bloodsucker'?" Damon grinned. But Stefan didn't find any of this amusing.

"You remember what happened here, the first time this town panicked. I don't want to see that happen again. This Gossip Girl thing could incite the same kind of panic that happened all of those years ago with us. And I'm not so sure that Elena Gilbert isn't the culprit."

Damon's eyes widened briefly, but he said nothing about that. Stefan took advantage of his silence to issue one more warning.

"I know you have a thing for witches. Bonnie is off limits, okay?"

"But it's okay for her to do Lockwood? A werewolf? I'm sorry but she could be killed. Do you want that?"

"What I want is to keep a low profile. I know she could get hurt. There have already been a few animal killings..."

"Oh that was me." Damon said dismissively. "I had to eat, you know."

"Damnit, Damon! I assumed it was Lockwood and told Zach as much."

"No harm ever comes out of framing a Lockwood for anything. Now, help me unpack. I need to move some of my blood into the basement. Someplace where the little witch and her mother will never find it. You're welcome to some or are you still..."

"I drink animal blood." Stefan said sourly.

"That's a disgrace, you know that, don't you?"

Stefan said nothing as he followed his brother outside to help him 'unpack'.

Meanwhile, Bonnie was lying on her bed, talking on her cellphone to Tyler.

"I don't even think this guy works! Maybe that's why Zach looked so upset."

"Okay, wait a minute," Tyler asked, " now why is Stefan here? Are his parents dead?"

"I guess so. I think Zach is the only one he can turn to."

"Okay but what about this Damon guy?"

"He looks a bit older. Like maybe a little younger than Mr. Saltzman. But Zach doesn't want him here. I don't understand why Damon can't take Stefan in wherever he lives?" Bonnie pondered aloud. "Oh well, never mind that. What are we going to do about Saltzman? I'm in all kinds of trouble no thanks to him!"

"I know! No thanks to that bastard, I'm on lockdown here. Though I plan to tell my father later on tonight, that I need to go for a run."

Richard Lockwood knew when his son had triggered the family curse. Tyler had run over some homeless man in a neighboring town and killed him. It was an accident, but a death was a death. Carol Lockwood knew nothing about any of this. But part of Tyler's affliction called for him to run as a human, just to keep down his wolf stress levels.

"Can you sneak out?" Tyler asked. "We'll break into Saltzman's house and see if we can find some dirt on him."

Bonnie nodded.

"I learned a new spell. I'll see you tonight."

"I love you." Tyler said.

"I love you too." Bonnie answered, smiling. For the first time since that whole Vicki travesty, Bonnie felt as if things were finally going her way.

She couldn't have been more wrong.

Bonnie claimed she wasn't hungry, then used a spell that would let her teleport, leaving a clone of herself there. But the clone couldn't talk or anything, so she made sure she looked like she was in bed with the covers up and the lights out, before she made her way, via magic, to Alaric Saltzman's place.

Tyler was waiting outside. The lights were out. He grabbed her hand and they hurried up the porch. Tyler broke the lock, not caring if it was discovered and they both headed inside.

"I can't see a thing!" Bonnie whispered loudly.

"Can you use some magic to give us a little bit of light? I would've brought a flashlight but I was afraid we'd be seen." Tyler whispered back.

Like ET, a light appeared at the end of Bonnie's finger as they edged around the unfamiliar surroundings. The finally made their way to a den, where a desk sat with a lot of papers. Tyler picked up something that looked like a bow and arrow set.

"Oh this is damned cool!" Tyler said, looking the weaponry over. But Bonnie used her finger to look over some papers on the desk.

It was more like pictures.

"Tyler!" Bonnie hissed. "Look at this!"

Tyler put down the weapon and peered at the papers. There were pictures of Stefan, Damon, Bonnie, Tyler and Elena. It said Elena was a 'doppleganger', that Stefan and Damon were vampires that she was a witch and that Tyler was a werewolf.

Tyler looked at Bonnie. Bonnie looked at Tyler.

Tyler spoke.

"This fuck is hunting us or something! And that damned weapon isn't just for wall decoration."

"Oh my God! You think he means to use it on us or something?" Bonnie squeaked.

"You weren't even gone long enough for Saltzman to become suspicious, Bonnie! He knew we'd be together! Hell, if he had had that weapon when he found us, he'd of probably offed us then!"

"But why? And how does he know about us? How?" Bonnie asked.

Tyler reached for her hand.

"Didn't you tell me that your grandmother drinks?"

"Just a little nip now and than. Oh come on! My Grams doesn't even know him!"

"Saltzman used to teach at the University of Virginia! Doesn't your Grams teach there?"

"Yeah," Bonnie said in a hollow voice, "but Grams doesn't know about you and what is this other crap? Stefan and Damon are vampires?"

"Which means you shouldn't be living in the same house with them!" Tyler groused. "I wonder if Zach knows?"

Bonnie shook her head.

"What are we going to do? I can't sit in this guy's class, knowing he wants to kill me!"

Headlights suddenly flooded the room! Tyler pulled Bonnie down out of sight as they listened for the sound of a car door slamming.

"He's back!" Tyler hissed. "We have to get out of here!"

Bonnie jumped up, panicking. She should have just used the spell she had used to get here in the first place! She could've just held onto Tyler and been back in her bedroom lickity split!

But Bonnie ran out of the den, pulling on Tyler, and was about to go out of a back door, when Alaric turned on a light and slammed his front door! He gaped at them!

"What the hell is this?! What are you two doing in my house?" he asked, squinting.

Tyler stepped forward, pushing Bonnie behind him.

"We should be asking you some questions, Saltzman!"

"It's 'Mr. Saltzman' to you, Tyler. And what are you talking about?"

Bonnie stepped out from behind Tyler.

"What is that stuff in your study? You're lying on all of us!"

Alaric's facial expression changed. It hardened.

"Let's not play any games, Bonnie. You come from a long line of witches. Lockwood, you've triggered a curse in your family and Stefan Salvatore is a vampire. You probably didn't know that, but you should be in your guard. If his brother Damon shows up, you should really be on your guard. He killed my wife."

Bonnie gasped! Tyler raised a brow and spoke.

"And? Stefan and Damon are the ones you have beefs with, not Bonnie and I. It was no accident you found us today, was it? Never mind. I know the answer. Now I want you to get us unsuspended."

"Oh how pray tell do I do that?" Alaric asked sarcastically.

"You fucking tell them you didn't see anything!" Tyler snapped. "That you were wrong! How would I know?! But get it done, Mr. Saltzman! My father is giving me crap about this whole thing and Bonnie's father is going to come down on her if you don't fix this."

Alaric smirked!

"There was no mistake. And even if you two weren't supernatural beings, I'd have still done the same thing to any teens I saw engaging in sexual relations on school grounds. Now get out! You should be so lucky I don't call the police."

"Come on!" Tyler snapped again, and pulled Bonnie out of the house. But as they went down the porch steps and began walking away, Bonnie stopped and turned back to the house. She stared at it hard...

Alaric Saltzman's house went up in flames!

"Jesus, Bonnie! What did you do?!" Tyler screamed and dragged Bonnie back by the woods. They watched as Mr. Saltzman flung himself through a glass window! Tyler smirked at the sight, then turned her to face him.

"You did that to protect us," Tyler said, as his lips moved to kiss her, "I love you."

"I love you too!" Bonnie moaned and responded with a need she didn't know she had for him. Soon their clothes were being discarded and they ignored Mr. Saltzman's attempts to go back into the inferno, to save precious items. He was screaming now...something...not that Tyler or Bonnie paid him any mind, as they were now naked. Tyler fell upon Bonnie, his organ surging into her body triumphantly.

Bonnie matched his cries and thrusts, which were deep and imprinting. Her legs were wrapped around his waist as their bodied undulated in a seamless rhythm.

Damon Salvatore was recording the whole thing, with his phone, from his spot behind a tree in the woods. Tsk, tsk, tsk, little Bonnie, he thought. First she burns down Saltzman's house, then engages in a bestial copulation on the edge of Saltzman's property!

He planned to use this little video to get Bonnie to do a few things for him. And if she didn't, this little recording would go out and probably neither Richard Lockwood or Rudy Hopkins would win that mayoral election.

Damon sincerely hoped there was a third party candidate.

At one point, Bonnie screamed as Tyler's passion poured into her. Damon smiled. She would scream louder when she was with him. And Damon planned on making sure that that event took place sooner, rather than later.
