Soo everyone likes an obsessed Damon...I like him too, but his obsession may cost Bonnie a lot.

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

A week later, after Stefan and Elena had taken off for a 'lover's vacation' or something, I decided to step up my plan to get Bonnie Bennett's blood. As I strolled through the woods, I listened to the laughter from a campfire. When would these stupid college students realize that Mystic Falls was not the place to be in the woods at night?

"Hey guys…I have to go take a leak…be right back", a clearly drunk and high loser chuckled as he headed towards me.

"Don't say that!" a girl squealed.

"Be riiighhhhhttt back", he sung as he moved closer to me.

I waited behind the tree as he finished up, as soon as he zipped up his pants; I grabbed him around the throat and pulled him away from the campfire. He tried to fight, but I was too strong. I threw him down into the tomb and jumped down there next to him.

"What do you want with me?" he asked moving away from me.

I bit into my wrist.

"What…what are you...", the guy asked looking around.

I bent down and placed my wrist to his mouth, "Drink", I compelled him.

He took in my blood gagging and then looked at me, "Now…for the next phase", I said before placing my hands on his neck and twisting until I heard the snap.

SSSSS

Caroline sat across from me at the Mystic Grille, "Bonnie…I need you to at least smile", she grinned, "please…for me".

I looked up at Caroline and smiled. She had suffered way more than I did because of all of this madness. Her life had been taken away because of Katherine and now she was a vampire…she would have to watch everyone die around her and she would have to spend her life lying to anyone that wasn't in the 'know'.

"Ever since Stefan and Elena left town for a couple of days, you've been really different…I know someone broke into your house, but what is really wrong Bonnie…we got Katherine in the tomb, she's not getting out any time soon. Things have died down…no pun intended".

"I know Caroline…I know…I'm happy that Stefan and Elena are taking some time to work out their issues and get away from all of this, but it's just been…hard and…"

"And what?" Caroline asked leaning forward.

I took a deep breath, I wasn't sure if Caroline was the best person to share this with (she has a big mouth, especially when she feels threatened)—but she is my friend. "A couple of weeks ago…I had a nightmare…"

"What kind of nightmare?"

"I…", I began finding it hard to even say the words.

"You what…woke up with a pimple…went to school naked…what?"

"I had sex with Damon and I let him bite me", I rushed out.

Caroline looked at me with wide eyes, "What…why…why would you dream about that?"

"I don't know!" I sighed, "and to make matters worse…when I woke up ready to vomit, I had the bite marks on my neck".

"What…how is that possible unless Damon was really there and you two…"

"We most certainly did not…I don't know how it happened or why it happened, but it did and it freaked me out big time and I think he knows…"

"But how would he know if it was your nightmare?"

"I don't know…he's Damon, he could have been messing with me…but he described it in a way like he had the same nightmare or something…and he's been…almost nice".

"Well he can be understanding once in awhile…he usually saves it for Elena".

"I know and that's why I am suspicious of him".

"Well…I guess you should just keep your distance, with Katherine locked away…Stefan and Elena wherever they are and Damon being occupied probably causing havoc somewhere else away from us, you can take some time to be happy…to try to be normal".

"How can I be normal when one of my best friend is a vampire and I'm a witch", I smiled.

"You fake it…I'm a pro now!" Caroline winked.

"Yes you are", I said taking her hand and smiling.

SSSSS

After leaving the Mystic Grille I drove home. Caroline was right. We were actually experiencing a lag in drama, so I should take advantage of it. Maybe find Lucy and get some questions answered. I parked my car in front of my house, headed up the stairs towards the front door, opened the door and walked inside as I placed my keys on the table by the door, I walked over to the bookcase and picked out one of Grams' family albums. Maybe I could find something about Lucy in one of these.

As I settled down in a chair to look through the album, someone rang the doorbell. I stood up and walked over to the door looking through the peephole. There was a guy standing outside with a pizza, "Can I help you?" I asked through the door.

"Yeah…I'm looking for 4532 Brindle Road", he said.

I opened the door, "This is 4532 Brindle Road…but I didn't order a pizza".

"Damn it...Sally always gets the addresses wrong…", he frowned looking down at his cell, "oh and perfect…my cell is dead…can I use your phone, I promise I just have to call the shop and get the right address".

I instantly felt my body tense up, but quickly shook it away...Mystic Falls used to be a place where you didn't have to look over your shoulder, "Sure…come in", I smiled opening the door wider as he walked in.

"I won't be long, by the way…I'm Kevin, don't want you not knowing who's using your phone", he grinned picking up the cell phone.

"Take your time", I said turning around to walk back over to the couch when I heard the cordless phone drop and before I could react, I found myself up against the wall.

"You're pretty…do you know that?" Kevin growled at me as I watched his fangs descend.

"Let me go", I said looking at him concentrating on his head.

He grabbed his head and flung me away from the wall causing me to fall into the coffee table and I could feel the glass breaking and cutting into my skin. I looked down at my arm as the blood gushed out of a wound as Kevin looked down.

I stood up feeling woozy from the blood and tried to get to the kitchen but he blocked my way, "Where you going…are you hungry…because I know I am", he said as he lunged for me.

SSSSS

I sat in my car outside of Bonnie's house waiting for the signal from my little minion. He was taking entirely too long. He knew that he was supposed to go in…scare her…give me the signal and I was going to rush in and save her. Of course, he didn't know that the part of the plan where I saved her meant that he would die, but those are the breaks.

I stood waiting and suddenly I saw the smoke, "That's not supposed to happen", I said getting out of my car. Then I noticed the flames and I took off running towards the house. Damn the witch and the stupid minion…she was trying to set him on fire. I ran up her steps and kicked the door open. There was a fire in the living room and I could see a figure moving around the house on fire. I could see Bonnie in a corner holding her arm and I could see the blood seeping through her fingers. I leapt over the flames and broke off a piece of the coffee table staking Kevin. I walked over to Bonnie as the flames started to rise. Her eyes were halfway closed as she held onto her arm. Her blood was all over her hand, running down her arm and her clothes. I had to stop myself from licking her arm right then and there. I picked her up, "Bonnie…listen to me…you have to stop the flames", I said, "I can't get you out".

She opened her eyes, but I could tell she wasn't focusing on me.

"Bonnie…listen to me…please…stop the flames".

She mumbled something softly as the flames began to dissipate. I carried her out of the house kicking Kevin's shriveled body as I walked out.

SSSSS

I drove like a mad man towards the boarding house and when I got inside, I carried Bonnie into the living room. I bit into my wrist and held it to Bonnie's mouth allowing my blood to flow into her mouth. I backed away and looked at her lying on the couch like a rag doll. I shook my head and felt like screaming. This wasn't supposed to happen. That idiot was supposed to go in there and scare her, not try to take a bite out of her for himself!

I walked over and kneeled down next to her on the couch. I wanted her blood, that was true…but I never wanted her to get hurt like this….never like this. I stood up and watched her as I heard her gasp and open her eyes looking around, "Where…where am I?" she asked looking around.

"At the boarding house…you know…you shouldn't invite strangers into your house", I smirked.

"My house…I need to go back…that vampire…I set him on fire, my house…"

"Your house is burning right now…I'm sure the fire trucks are there, but they won't be able to stop the fire".

Bonnie stood up and immediately sat back down, "What's wrong with me…"

"You slashed your arm…you lost a lot of blood, I gave you some of mine…it will take some time to get used to and you were in a fire…a lot went on tonight".

"My house…it's burning…", she said in such a broken voice that I almost felt bad for setting all of this in motion.

"You can get another house".

"Another house…Damon, I can't get another house…I grew up in that house…all of my stuff…all of the pictures…all of my Grams' spell books…everything is gone…I can't…my life is falling apart", she said as the tears starting falling at an alarming rate. I started to walk over to her…but this was not that kind of relationship.

"Bonnie…I'm sorry", I managed to squeeze out.

"How…how did I get out of there?" she asked wiping her eyes and looking at me.

"I was coming to bug you and I saw the flames".

She nodded, "Thank…thank you for saving me".

I looked at her. I thought that I would be ecstatic to hear that from her, especially after all my work, but hearing her say it…soo broken…it didn't have the same effect.

SSSSS

The next morning Bonnie insisted that I drive her to her house or the remains of her house. When we arrived, I noticed that the house was just a shell. I could see her pause as if she didn't think it was real as she walked towards the house.

"Oooh Bonnie…we were soo worried…we thought you were in there", an older woman ran up to her, "they found a body".

"I…I wasn't home", she answered looking around.

"Well its good that you are ok…you have fire insurance right?"

Bonnie wasn't listening anymore as she walked towards the shell of the house.

"Bonnie…the police want to speak with you!" the woman called after her.

"Can you lay off for a moment?" I snapped following Bonnie up the stairs.

Bonnie ripped the yellow tape down and walked through the charred door, "Bonnie…you shouldn't be in here", I said from behind her.

I saw her bend down and move some of the debris away, "The grimoire…it would survive", she whispered in almost a mocking, hateful way.

SSSSS

After leaving the shell of my house, speaking with my dad who asked a million questions but still didn't bother to come home and then going to the police station to give them a false statement, I stood outside of the police station not exactly knowing where I was going. Damon looked at me, "What's wrong?"

"I…I don't have anywhere to go…Elena's gone…Caroline's house is tense…I have nowhere to go, my Grams is dead and my dad is renting her house…"

"You could always stay at the boarding house".

I looked up at Damon expecting to see a smirk forming on his lips, but he appeared to be sincere. "What's the punchline?" I asked looking over at him.

"No punchline…but you have to promise me one thing…"

"What?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"You can't set me on fire".

I felt a pang to my heart as soon as the words left his mouth, "I don't think I will be setting anyone on fire again", I said quietly as I walked over to Damon's car.

Arriving back at the boarding house felt weird. I had no idea how long I would be staying here. Hopefully, I could get my dad to send me enough money to get a hotel room or something…I didn't care, but I could not stay with Damon Salvatore for long.

SSSSS

As we drove towards the boarding house, I looked over at the witch sitting in the seat beside me. Her gaze was focused on the rain that started to fall outside. Looking at her, I almost allowed myself to feel some guilt over turning that guy and making him go into her house; but I wanted her blood, of course and the only way to get it was close proximity. I never expected her to set her own house on fire but that was the problem with her being a temperamental witch, she was always doing unexpected things.

I parked the car and immediately noticed the blond standing on the steps with her arms folded glaring at me. I am NOT in the mood to deal with the peppy blond.

"Bonnie!" Caroline rushed down and wrapped her arms around her, "you should have come to my house…you still can".

"No…it's ok", Bonnie mumbled walking up the stairs with Caroline with her bag, "you are trying to juggle living with your mom with your new life, I can't infringe on that…especially with my own special powers".

"But you can't stay here…", Caroline began and then whispered, "with him".

"I can hear you Caroline and I will have you know that Bonnie is safer here with me than anywhere else…have you forgotten that someone tore apart her house a couple of days ago and then attacked her in it…someone is after her and I can protect her", I argued.

"Why?" Caroline asked.

"Look…I don't want to argue, I'm staying here until I can find somewhere else to go…Caroline, you can spend as much time here as you want...where's my room?" Bonnie asked.

"Upstairs…to the right…three doors down…far away from my room", I winked at Caroline.

Bonnie shook her head, "I will be right back".

"I will be here", Caroline said watching Bonnie head upstairs.

As soon as Bonnie disappeared, Caroline turned to me and glared, "Bonnie is not dumb, she will see right through you…and this whole situation is soo convenient", Caroline replied.

I rolled my eyes and walked over the drink cart.

"You want something from Bonnie, don't you?"

Her blood…all of it, "No, Caroline…I do not want anything from Bonnie, I am being a good guy".

"No…no….you're not, I remember when you used to compel me…I remember when you wanted that necklace from Bonnie, you want something from her…I can tell and I wouldn't put it past you to orchestrate this entire…"

I rushed over to Caroline and grabbed her by the neck pushing her up against the wall, "I am being a good friend to Bonnie, do not put any thoughts in her head that I am using her".

Caroline looked at me and with all the might in her little body pushed me off of her sending me crashing into the bar, "Don't you hurt Bonnie or I will hurt you", Caroline warned.

"I'm scared", I mocked her as Bonnie entered the room.

"Did I miss something?" she asked looking from Caroline and then over to me.

"Nope", I smiled taking a sip of my drink.

"Not at all", Caroline answered as she glared at me.

Damon has Bonnie where he wants her now, but he's not enjoying it as much as he thought he would. What happens now? And more importantly, what happens when Bonnie finds out what he's done?
