Chapter 4 : does it change anything?
DAMONS POV:
Damon sunk into the plush leather sofa in his bed room. He'd come straight back to the boarding house after hearing about Katherine. Swirling the orange liquid in his glass Damon downed it taking the bottle off the floor and opting for chugging that instead. If last night had not been confusing enough this sure was. Damon wasn't an idiot and now that he thought about it Elena hadn't had vervain around her neck. She didn't even seem guilty when she saw him the next day. It was clear to him now he had kissed Katherine. He felt sick at the thought of that repulsive cold heartless bitch's lips against his. He felt dirty and ashamed of himself that he hadn't even noticed it was a different person in front of him. He'd fallen into her trap and given her the satisfaction of hearing his emotions and kissing him. I mean he'd waited a century and half for a kiss from her and she got it just like that when she came back despite everything. She must still be laughing at me right now he thought bitterly.
Damon was now on his third bottle of Jack Daniels and vampires definitely could get drunk as he shuffled his way towards his bathroom. "I need a shower to rid myself of that whore". Damon stripped down and pulled back the curtains. Once in he let the blazing hot water wash away the latest revelations. What baffled him even more is whether this changed things or not? It would be easy if it had been Elena he'd kissed. That way feeling nothing would have been a good thing. Elena and Stefan could have had each other and he could have moved on. Drinking and getting laid whenever he wanted. Maybe he could have even pursued a certain little witch who was ever so slightly growing on him. But it hadn't been the case. It had to be Katherine he'd felt nothing with. So could he feel something with Elena? Curiosity was a dangerous thing? Seeing how upset Elena had been today had made him upset if he was telling the truth as well. "So there must be something there right? But what if it was just friendship? When no one ever shows you affection the one person who suddenly shows you a little, maybe you're making her something she's not. Is finding out one way or another worth losing Stefan over?" The little witch herself had admitted there was something between Elena and Damon but she didn't specify as to what she thought it was "helpful as ever" he grunted but then smiled at the thought of the little witch before furrowing his brows " wonder if that damsel in distress is okay".
STEFANS POV
Katherine's back. Katherine's back. The words kept swirling in Stefan's mind as Alaric drove them to the hospital. He needed to warn Elena and to protect her but he also wanted to get Bonnie to the hospital. Whatever she'd seen in her vision had really damaged her. He turned in the passenger's seat to see her still passed out in the back seat. He couldn't bare it if this was another repeat of Sheila. Bonnie may have been introduced to him through Elena but she was his friend he really did care about her.
But Stefan had even bigger worries. He did not love Katherine he never had but Stefan had been under compulsion with Katherine. She had stolen his love from him. The problem was that those under compulsion even after being turned were still susceptible to compulsion by their sire. Stefan really worried about how defenceless Katherine could make him if she wanted to. What would he do when Katherine came after Elena as he had no doubt she would. Katherine prided herself on being the most gorgeous and wanted girl around. That was mainly due to her looks so a carbon copy was a huge threat.
Stefan knew he may end up having to rely heavily on Damon. But he also had his reservations .Damon had loved Katherine for almost a century and a half. He said he hated her now but what if seeing her would make him feel differently. They were both such destructive personalities that gravitated towards each other. What if sided with her? Stefan was brought out of his contemplations with the sound of Alaric's voice.
Alaric's POV:
"So she saw Katherine? You should have seen this coming I mean Isobel was working for Katherine in the first place. Did you truly think she'd never come back to mystic falls? She was paying enough attention to it to know about the tomb vampires being released? And what are we going to do about spells while where at it? Bonnie is in no fit state to do it and we should not allow her to do so".
Bonnies POV:
Bonnie tried opening her eyes but they were so heavy. She still felt dizzy and she felt as if she was moving. She could also hear voices. It was like being at a huge concert right next to the base speakers so loud and unfocused. Bonne then heard doors opening and felt arms wrapping around her. She was off the ground now. As her vision became clearer she realised she'd been in a car and was at the hospital with Alaric and Stefan but no Damon in sight. Bet he's gone running to Katherine she inwardly growled but didn't know why. Stefan grabbed a nurse's attention and Bonnie was suddenly being carried to a hospital room. "No Stefan. No there's so much to do there's no time for this... I have so much to tell you"
"shhh Bonnie please I can't have your ending up like your grams I just can't. Now I'm going to go see Elena okay. You need to stay here! Promise". Stefan's tone was almost fatherly. She chuckled at that which only increased Stefan's brooding gaze.
"Yes dad" she giggled finally getting to see Stefan smile made her happy.
Elena's POV
"STEFAN!" Elena ran toward him hugging him tightly as she guided him to her brother's room, he appeared to be in a coma. "Stefan what's wrong with him?"
"He needs human blood Elena that's why he's so pale and looks like he's in a coma. His body is deteriorating and will continue if he doesn't get some".
"Okay so he can have mine right now just get rid of Jenna and where's Bonnie she said she had some spells to curb his hunger and cloak his change in vitals?"
"She's in the room next door Elena".
"What why is she okay I can't lose her Stefan?"
"She had a vision it took a lot out of her she needs rest. The thing is Elena her vision it was off Katherine. It was Katherine who killed John. We don't know what else she saw yet but I think it's the start of bad things to come".
DAMONS POV:
Damon's long shower had done nothing to help with his anger. But soon being able to kick Katherine's ass was a positive thought. But now it was time to head to the hospital to check on Elena and to see what the witch really saw. He was going to have to help her with her powers if she was going to make it through this alive. Damon also thought it was about time he told Stefan the truth about his encounter with Katherine. Putting on his purple shirt, black jeans, black boots and "wait where my jacket! Now I really need the little witch" he smiled. Driving down the roads in his mustang at full speed he reached the hospital in 10 minutes.
He found out which room Elena and gang were in and strolled in. "wow really is doom and gloom in here"
"Damon where have you been?"
Elena almost fumed as if it was out of order for him to not be near her and not even a hug. He thought very displeased but was soon distracted.
"Where's the witch?"
ELENAS POV:
Elena knew she looked shocked that he'd even asked about Bonnie. She didn't want to admit it but she was a bit jealous she liked the attention that she got from Damon but she did love Stefan. She tried to ignore it though she needed to be a good big sister right now.
DAMONS POV:
"She's in the room next door she's pretty weak at the moment maybe you should stay here your banter may be too much right now".
Damon growled why couldn't his brother leave her alone? He was about to say something but Elena interrupted clearly trying to bring the attention back to her. Damon had to admit it was kind of annoying. Was she always like this? He spends so much time desiring her he can't say he's noticed one way or another hmmm.
"I've decided to give Jeremy my blood. Alaric's taken Jenna to get coffee while we do it.
ELENAS POV:
Both Stefan and Damon stayed at Elena's side as she fed her brother. Elena wouldn't say it out loud as she always liked to appear good which for the most part she was. She did care about her friends and family it was a given. However there was a big part of her that adored the attention from both Salvatore's, she found it intoxicating. Having them both back by her side felt good she just hoped Katherine wouldn't take them from her. Damon cut her wrist with his fang knowing full well it would be too much temptation for Stefan. Elena slowly pressed it to Jeremy who drank immediately. Stefan yanked his hand off Elena's arm when he'd had enough.
DAMONS POV:
"I need to talk to you brother!" Damon grabbed his arm and escorted him out the room. "I've seen Katherine already"
"What"
"Shut up I'm not done yet. It was last night she was carrying Elena's costume from the parade. We kissed"
"What I knew you'd side with her"
"Chill bro I thought it was Elena duh"
"What you'd really do that to me let history repeat? Get out of my sight!"
"We have bigger issues than our sibling rivalry right now. We need to know what Bonnie saw.
"So find out yourself BIG BROTHER I can't look at you right now.
BONNIES POV:
Bonnie was lying on the hospital bed her head was still pounding. "Great oh annoying one you have to be my only visitor" she moans as Damon appears at the doorway with a bunch of flowers no less.
"awww don't even pretend you're not happy to see me".
"Oh be quite and please tell me you didn't rob a grave for those?"
"No they were in Jeremy's room he winked. "Now what did you see exactly?
"Okay well the first was pretty simple Katherine killing john she had pretended to be Elena to gain entrance to the house."
"Yeah seems to be something she likes doing"
"Huh? Well anyways the next was strange I was locked up in a dungeon of sorts chained up
"and I was doing naughty things to you"
"seriously what is wrong with you? No Katherine was there she was stroking my face and smiling at me.
"Maybe she wants you for something".
"uh duh! Anyways the next one was of a witch I'm sure of it . She's on Katherine's side!"
"Makes sense Katherine likes witches".
"Yeah this one could control wind and possibly earth I'm guessing".
"What can you control?"
Damon was now sitting on the bed neither noticed him tracing circles across her arm right up to her shoulder blades. (She's not in a hoody anymore)
"My grandmother could control earth and I fire so far but Emily mastered all the elements. Anyways the witch she was strong she kicked your ass. Damon huffed
"Yeah well now I know this visions wrong"
"DAMON"
"I know we'll sort it change the future n all blah blah".
Bonnie crawled of the bed. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
Going home dummy! I need to get to work on some spells. My list is endless 1)Protection for Elena's house 2) Make a ring or necklace for Jeremy so he can walk in the sun 3) make a potion to curb his hunger while he's here and stop people noting he's undead. 4) I also want to make a spell so we can tell Katherine and Elena apart. You know I'm thinking by their auras they'll be different right?
"You can do that?"
"Yep"
"Impressive and believe me very helpful".
"Not to mention I need to found out about this witch."
DAMONS/BONNIES POV:
Um madam. There was a knock at the door and the nurse strolled in trying hard to put Bonnie back in bed. "Listen your wife needs to stay here she's very weak"
"wife what the fuck is your problem lady?"
"Relax my caramel goddess! I'm sorry my love can be a handful" Damon came straight in front of Bonnie leaning down and kissing her gently on the cheek. He ignored the jolt of electricity that jumpstarted his heart for a moment.
"Urg DAMON" Bonnie wiped her cheek over and over again but inside it did make her giggle a little. He was such an idiot and it was fun to be around.
"Okay okay" Damon turned toward the nurse his eyes widening. "You will leave now and fill out Miss Bennett's discharge papers. The woman was out the door in a heartbeat. "Well come on honey let's get on it"
"what"
"I'm coming with, this is serious stuff little witch and you're going to need MY help."
"Are you a witch Damon?"
"no but I can sure catch you when ya fall!"
"But I'd have to invite you in?"
"Well it's me or Katherine you can play dungeons and dragons with". Damon smirked eyes glistening with mischief.
"FINE".
