Bonnie's P.O.V
I woke up in the bed I had known as my own. The events of the last two days had washed over me and realization came to me. I was still a vampire and this is the way I would wake up everyday. I rose from bed and left the guest room of the Salvatore Boarding House. I headed toward the main room only to be met by Damon and Alaric.
"So Rick any idea on how long this is going to take?" Damon asked putting something in a bag.
"Not long we should be back soon."
"Good because being trapped in a car with two people who would like my head on a platter isn't what I call a good time."
"Well then maybe you should stop doing things that make people hate you." I cut in surprising them both with my appearance.
"Well I would but I know you love me the way I am."
"Of course." I replied sarcastically. "Where's Stefan and Elena?"
"Upstairs reenacting some Edward and Bella scene."
"Hey Elena and Stefan filled me in. How are you with…everything?" Alaric asked a little timid
"Still a little confused on some things, but I'm dealing."
"Well it's about to get even more hard." Damon stated. I looked to him for clarification. "Stefan is going to have you eating Bambi and friends."
"If that what I have to do to survive then…"
"Then you should do it the right way."
"And that way involves how many people dying?"
"None. It's simple you snatch some loser, take what you need and erase their memory."
Alaric, who was now sitting uncomfortable while Damon and I discussed dinner options, muttered something about waiting in the car. But I couldn't focus on that. Did he really think I was willing to hurt someone? "I can't do that I can't use someone like that."
"There's that judgey-ness again. Don't you ever get tired of playing that role?"
"What role?"
"The goody-two-shoes role. Keep it up Stefan will be more fun than you."
As I was about to respond I heard footsteps coming towards us.
"Hey Bonnie you're up." Elena said walking toward me
"How are you feeling today?" Stefan asked
"Better." I said simply hoping the 'how are you?' and 'how are you feeling' questions wouldn't become an issue. "I found the spell in the grimoire for the day walking ring last night it's not difficult at all I'll make it after I feed."
"Good, then we'll go hunting after that."
"Now that's settled we better get going." Damon said to Elena, who seemed to be ignoring him.
"Be safe." Elena said to me and "We'll call if we find out anything." to Stefan.
"Okay." he said giving her a kiss on the lips.
After I had finished feeding I went up to grab my ring that I had chosen. The spell had called for the ring to placed in sunlight. After stupidly trying to place the ring in the sun myself. Stefan saw my distress and helped out. "Thanks." I muttered
I started chanting as directed in the grimoire. After I was done Stefan handed me the ring and I slipped it on and looked at him questionably. "Try it out." he said simply
I closed my eyes and stuck my hand out to the sunlight shinning through. Nothing. No burning, no smoking. I was glad to get back to some sense of my life. "Alright you're ready to go. Ready?"
"As I'll ever be."
"Stefan I can't do this." I said after failing to catch yet another animal. "And I mean come on bunnies? How do you do this?" I noticed a smile on his face. "You're laughing. Why are you laughing at me?"
"I'm not it's just…when you were just a witch, you could pretty much drop a vampire with one look and now that you're a vampire and a witch, you're having troubles with bunnies." he said with humor all in his voice.
"Yeah…well…I'm still new at this. How long did it take you to get this whole thing down?" He stayed silent and I smiled triumphantly "What I thought." I said walking away.
"I keep hearing people, I think I got that hearing thing down now."
He nodded "Yeah, Tyler's having a party out here tonight."
"Wow. I haven't been to one of his parties in a while." I said crestfallen
"Maybe we can make an appearance. Caroline was released today and she's gonna be there with Matt."
"Really, do you really think that I should be around a crowd of people?"
"I'll be with you. And plus, its good to be around friends it'll help you hang on to your humanity."
"Okay." I said with a more determined voice "Lets finish. Here bunny-bunny."
When Stefan and I arrived on the party scene Caroline had immediately spotted us and rushed over. "Hey guys!" she said pulling me into a hug.
"Hey glad to see you feeling better." I said hugging back
"Me too. I couldn't spend another day in that hospital. Plus, the carnival is coming up and I couldn't just leave it up to you and Elena. Where is Elena?" she asked looking around
"Something came up. But you'll see her soon." Stefan added in.
"Okay." she said before turning to me "Come on, lets get something to drink." and dragged me off. I sent a pleading look to Stefan, which he caught and started to follow.
After a while Caroline had disappeared to go 'talk' with Matt. And Stefan had told me that alcohol helps cravings, which actually roved to be true. His phone rang. "It's Elena. I'll be right back, I won't go far." I nodded as he walked off.
I relaxed and listened to the music. I almost felt normal before realizing I was anything but that. But tonight had been just what I needed to escape. After a while I started getting worried with Stefan taking so long to come back. As if reading my mind I spotted Stefan walking toward me. "Bonnie. We need to leave, now." Stefan said urgently
"What? What's going on?"
"Lets go." he said grabbing me and pulling me to go.
"Stefan. What is going on?"
"Damon was right. Mason Lockwood he's a werewolf. And according to Isobel's research…a werewolf bite can kill a vampire, which why we need to get out of here." he explained and turned around to be met with Tyler.
"What are you doing here?" Tyler asked suspiciously
"What are you doing here?" Stefan asked back.
I didn't get a chance to react when something jumped on me. It was a wolf. It was Mason Lockwood, trying to kill me. I struggled before my eyes turned red and my veins came out. I growled and before Stefan could reach us an invisible force threw him off of me and sent him flying into a tree. I quickly stood up and Stefan rushed to my side.
"Run!" he commanded and we both rushed off toward the boardinghouse leaving a pissed off wolf and a confused Tyler.
When we arrived Stefan insisted on checking me. "Stefan I'm fine." I said "Just shaken a bit."
"You sure?"
"Yes. I'll be back I'm getting hungry again." He nodded as I left
"So…you had a running with a wolf?" I turned around to be faced with Damon
"How long have you been back?" I asked surprised
"Not long."
"Where's Elena?"
He face went stoic "I took her home." I nodded "The wolf?"
"He came at me in the forest. I almost didn't escape."
He nodded impassively no doubt forming a plan in his mind. "Fine we make our move next."
"Our?" I asked
"Yeah you're with us aren't you?"
"Fine. But I meant what I said I don't want anyone to get hurt. Me being a vampire isn't going to change that." I said continuing downstairs.
Damon opened the fridge and got blood out for us both. "To a beautiful new partnership."
I sighed thinking about this.
Had I just made a deal with the devil?
