She spent lunch break with Elena and Caroline. They sat at their favorite table, talking about their homework whoch they didn't dofor like two years. Suddenly Caroline spit out:
"Oh I don't know what to wear for the party tonight!"
Bonnie stpped eating her sandwich. "What party?"
Elena shifted around on her chair.
"Well yeah the homecoming party in the woods this evening...I thought Elena would have asked you like always!", Caroline said slowly and glanced over to Elena.
"Well I guess Stefan got inbetween my invitation", Bonnie said and put her Sandwich back on the plate.
Elena didn't look her in the eyes. 'I'm sorry', she said and Bonnie understood what she was thinking. She did not want her to come ecause she would be alone otherwise. Cause...she wanted to spent the party with Stefan.
"You can come with me, I'll drive and Matts taking my car the way back", Caroline said and suprisingly saved the situation. Bonnie tried not to be sad, hurt or angry and nodded. That screwed up all her plans telling Elena about her being a witch, preparing spells and witchcraft for tomorrow. But she did not want to be excluded again either.
"I'll come", she said and stood up. Her friends looked a bit surprised.
"I'll catch you at 8", Caroline said.
After school Bonnie got straight to her car and drove to her Grams. She stepped inside knowing she had only three hours to get ready.
Sheila sat on the terrace. "Grams I could not do anything today. It was like a blockade in my body. I revealed him he was just in front of me. And it was like something freezed the fire", she said and nearly started crying. In that moment it got to her, that her friends left her again. That she was so new so magic that she did not even know how to activate it.
"It is fear, my dear. fear is the ice blockading your power. Fear about what is right in front of you, but also what is inside you. Your d not have to be afraid. As soon as you understand that, you can stop being weak", her grandmother said, stood up and took her in her arms.
"I just don't know what to do anymore. I want to stop all of it, I want my normal life back". Without the Salvatores he added in her head.
"You cannot have your life back. The past is the past. But my dear you can make the best out of you situation right now. Live it. And I am always here for you" Sheila caressed her granddaughters soft hair. She knew exactly how she was feeling, but she also knew that their was no cure to that new world. Once in it it was impossible to get out. "Don't be afraid. Remeber that sentence", Sheila said. Bonnie nodded and escaped the embrace to not start crying.
"Go home now, think about what I just said. And one more thing. Never invite one of them into your house. As long as a vampire is not invited he cannot come in"
"Really?", Bonnie asked curiosly and thought about Caroline.
"Yes. Once you did it he can come inside at any time."
Sheilas words clung in her eyes as she drove home.
Bonnie felt fear the moment she walked out of her door ready for the party. On the one hand because she knew that she wasn't really invited, on the other hand some teachers always came to the party. What if Damon would also come? She wasn't ready for the confrontation yet, she wasn't sure that she was strong enough. Caroline already waited in her car in front of Bonnies door.
"Hey girl", she said with a smirk.
Her long hair was curled and shone in the pale last sunlight. Her eyes glommed in the dark and I knew she had a plan for tonight. There was a difference between a normal Caroline and one who wants to get something. And today Caroline wanted to get the guy she wanted to.
"You look like Mr. Salvatore is coming tonight to the party"', Bonnie said with a glimpse on her cleavage.
"Well at least he said he would think about it. And…well I just felt like taking time for my appearance today" CAroline started driving.
"And in case he is not there?"
"Well Matt would never reject me", she said arrogant.
"Oh Caroline you're playing with his feelings", Bonnie sighed.
Caroline didn't answer. We drove into the woods and the sun disappeared beneath the trees. Caroline turned on the flashlights. I looked on the road in front of us and thought about what she just said. While Bonnie knew it was wrong, she felt a mixture of anger and envy thinking of Caroline flirting with Damon. She knew that Damon fucked with a lot of girls, that he could change who he was flirting or sleeping with every day. And it was not that it broke her heart. It was just a strange feeling in her chest, saying she was uncomfortable with seeing him with somebody else.
When they arrived at the location of the party, music and the warm light of the fire welcomed them. The whole school stood on the small forest clearing with red cups full of beer. Caroline and Bonnie left the car and the second Caroline's feet touched the floor Bonnie knew she could either stand behind Caroline while she was talking to others or she could run around and hope she could talk to Matt. Cause she couldn't stand Elena and Stefan , knowing what Stefan was.
She got herself something to drink and took a position with a good oversight over the party in the shadows to search for Matt.
"You know going to a party and drinking a beer alone in the dark are kind of two opposite things, that shouldn't be combined in reality", a male voice sad behind her.
"There is nothing coming out of your mouth not being sarcastic, ironic or mean. That are three things who shouldn't be combined in reality as well, bit here you are", she said and turned around. Damon Salvatore stood in the dark, the fire reflecting in his black eyes his appearance was devilish. He smirked.
"I didn't expect you coming here", he said slowly.
" Cause I'm not social or what?"
"Well, partly yes. But also because you don't have much friends left with Caroline flirting all the time and Elena with Stefan. And of course you should be preparing yourself for tomorrow", he said completely neutral.
"Its not fair to tell me I don't have much friends",she said not really angrily.
"Well but it is true". He came closer.
"Funfact", she said dry.
"I get the feeling you don't like to talk to me?"Now he was so close that she had to look up to him. She turned back to the fire.
"You're actually dead you shouldn't be talking at all"
He giggled and she had to smile about that sentence too.
"Also true", He said and his breath caressed the back of her neck.
Fast he took her cup out of her hands and took a sip.
"That's not tasty at all"
She didn't turn around, her eyes were stuck to the fire. It was much easier to talk to him, not having to look into his eyes, smelling his sent. No fantasies could arise like that.
"That's not the sense of it. It exists to make you drunk , that's all", she said and thought about Damon being drunk….being more dangerous.
He put the cup back in her hands.
"Well but getting drunk with a tasty drink is much more fun".Behind his word she could hear the experience of a lot of decades drinking.
"So what does a hundreds of years old alcoholic prefer to drink to get drunk?", she asked and expected something like wine from 1960.
But instead he answered:" Bourbon. A nice glass of Bourbon on ice. But I would not say I am an alcoholic, Bonbon". She overheard the 'Bonbon'.
"Can you actually get drunk?", she asked.
"How could I bear an unending life without getting drunk sometimes?"Now she could feel that he was thinking about what happened in his past. Things after which he had to get drunk. Guilt?
She would really have liked to ask him about his motivation for getting drunk. Because she thought that said a lot about people. She herself drank because of her thoughts stopping to dance rock'n'roll in her head. She forgot the consequences of her doing, everything seemed to be so much easier and funnier. But than she saw Caroline walking straight in their direction. Bonnie sighed.
"And there she is I think I have to search myself friends now", she said.
Suddenly she felt his hand on her waist, without any pressure, just his hand on her naked waist. She felt his body coming closer. His lips next to her ear he said: "Who needs friends if you have me?"
Before she had the chance to reply Caroline stood in front of them and the hand disappeared.
"There you are. I searched you everywhere", she said with a much higher voice as normal.
"Sometimes people don't want to be found", he said but Bonnie knew he was smiling to hide the mean tone of the sentence.
Caroline didn't care. "You need a drink, Mr. Salvatore", she said, smiling. Bonnie saw in her eyes that Caroline had had some drinks in the time she and Damon were talking.
Bonnie followed them to the "bar". She needed more drinks too. Cause without alcohol she would have to leave the party in the next five minutes and she didn't know who to ask for a ride. Caroline ordered two beer and pulled Damon over to an empty bank next to the fire. Their he put an arm around her and she placed her head on his shoulder. Bonnie observed the picture and felt abandoned. Why did she feel so? It was normal for Caroline, she would never expect another behavior of her. But…she felt abandoned…by Damon.
More drinks. Like now.
She turned around and saw the barrel.
Well maybe more alcohol would let her forget that she was a witch. That Damon and Stefan were dangerous vampires. That Damon was incredibly hot and her body couldn't stop pulling her in his direction. And Bonnie Bennet drank.
Later Bonnie forgot how she actually managed to do it. She just remembered the applauding crowd. That her eyes were closed. That in that moment she just wanted to forget everything.
The vampire stood behind the trees and observed the party. All his scents where concentrated. He saw Damon sitting with the blond girl in front of the fire. He saw Stefan and the doppelgänger standing in a group of people. And he saw the little witch in front of the alcohol. He knew that it was the perfect evening to show the Salvatores that he was here. That he knew what they were here for . That he had the actual control. He smiled. They were so human, with their little feelings and dramas. So predictable. It was actually funny. It was always the older brother who had the evil plans. And Damon's plans were pretty clear while Stefan seemed to be so in love that he didn't see the danger. He smiled. Everything he needed just in front of him.
Bonnie tumbled around the fire. She didn't know where anyone she knew was. The terrible taste if cheap beer filled her mouth. She wasn't sure if she was happier now bit actually she didn't care. She danced with a few guys she didn't know. They touched her everywhere and she just laughed and turned to another. She wasn't interested in having sex while she was drunk. She just wanted to dance and have fun. The guy she was now dancing with seemed to be from another school cause she had never seen him before. He pulled her close to his sweaty body and grapped her booty. Damon watched her with growing anger. That stupid girl, didn't she know how dangerous it could be? That moment she went away from that human and went to the bar. He stopped her getting another drink.
" What are you doing Bon?", he said trying not to sound to angrily.
She laughed. "Having fun with not really tasty alcohol"
"You need to go home or someone will rape you today as much guys you have danced with ,they all think you'd like to be".There was anger in his voice, even her slow brain heard that.
"Jealous?" she said cocky.
He sighed. "Bonnie you should go home"
"You're not my boyfriend nor my father, so stop telling me what I should do"
He ignored that sentence.
"You're here with Caroline right? She is gone. I will take you home"
Bonnie shook her head.
In that moment Stefan appeared behind Damon and whispered something in his ear. Alarmed he turned away from her. And Bonnie took her chance an ran away.
She just felt observed and headed for the trees cause she felt the urgent need to let the liquid out of her body.
Darkness around her. She would never find the way back. She laughed a bit. Maybe she would be eaten by that stupid animal. She heard something strange and felt a cold wind. That was awkward cause she didn't see anything.
"Hello?", she screamed in the dark and giggled.
She didn't expect an answer."It's me", she whispered and laughed a bit about herself.
But suddenly she felt a mouth on her neck.
"Damon?", she giggled, not feeling any fear.
"Not exactly", a dark voice answered sarcastically.
She tried to turn around, but hands around her arms prevented it.
"Tell him ,love, that his little plans don't disturb me, but that I need a witch and the doppelgänger as well as another vampire"
Bonnies head spinned around and didn't understand what was happening to her.
She felt sharp teeth slipping into her neck. It did hurt but she didn't scream. She felt her blood leaving her body faster than she thought. And panic arising. She was alone. In a dark forest.
"Stop it"
That was Damon's voice she thought but she wasn't sure.
She felt that she was close to get unconscious.
"Leave her", Damon said calm standing right in front of her ice in his eyes.
And than nothing.
When she woke, her head felt like it was exploding.
She felt like puking would be an awesome idea.
She tried to open her eyes but it made her headache worse. She tried to turn to her side for not puking into the bed.
"Inside here"
She opened one eye and saw a white bowl held directly under her head.
That someone hold up her hair the whole time she left the rest of the beer out of her body.
"Take that and drink"
A pill and a glass of water were given to her, than she fell back to sleep.
The next time she woke up, her head was not hurting anymore. Sunshine warmed her legs under a white blanket. A blanket that wasn't hers. A bed that wasn't hers. She turned around and found herself in a big room with not much furniture in it. The walls and the floor were wooden and seemed to be really old. Sunlight broke through large windows with thick glass. She put her feet on the floor and stepped through a glass door into a modern bathroom. Next to the lavatory a new tooth brush awaited her. She brushed her teeth and didn't dare to look into the mirror. She tried to remember what happened but the whole evening seemed to be a great soup of happenings. She put one hand to her neck. Nothing. Did she dream that another vampire got her in the forest?
The shower was the double of hers at home. She got out of her clothes and noticed blood on her shirt. Curious she stepped under the hot water. She searched for shampoo and found one for men. So….with whom had she gotten home?
Please not Damon. Just not.
The water flowed down her body and left a light red trace on the shower ground.
Naked she stepped out of the shower and took a towel hanging next to her. She threw her clothes into the shower and put only her panties back on. When she opened the closet it was clear. Damon.
Black T-shirts, leather jackets and a strong smell she knew to well. She pulled a black Shirt over her head which nearly reached her knees and closed the closet. Suddenly she felt dizzy and nearly fell while trying to get back to the bed. She felt like after having drank not enough water. She sat down on the mattress when the door opened and Damon stepped in with a cup and a plate in his hands.
"Good morning", he said smiling and gave her the cup. The sent of coffee got into her nose. She tried to ignore that she sat on Damon Salvatores bed with only her panties and his T-shirt.
"Damon, what happened?", she asked nipping coffee and feeling better with every sip.
"Thank you Damon for taking me home, holding my hair while I was vomiting and bringing me breakfast would be a start"
"Damon who was the other vampire?", she said instead.
"Sorry for being a drunken idiot would be the next step,"he said very calm and put the plate next to me.
Bonnie sighed.
"Thanks and sorry", she said trying to not be embarrassed to sit half naked in his room on his bed not knowing much if the last night.
"You look quite sexy in my shirt", he said with his normal voice again.
Bonnie felt to weak to answer ironically.
"And if I analyze it right that are your clothes in the shower..your brah…so you are naked under that shirt", he said and she did not dare to look into his eyes.
She closed her eyes.
"I am wearing my panties", she whispered and got red.
He took the cup out of her hands and when his fingers touched hers she jerked.
He put the cup aside and raised his hands to her chin, than he slowly forced her to look into his eyes.
"You are embarrassed because you were drunk, because you were stupid and because you puked in front of me. But do not think for a second, Bonnie Bennett, that would change anything. I see you the way you are. Everybody makes mistakes. And I saw a lot of girls puking in front of me and fucked them anyway", he said and grinned at the end.
"And I thought you were trying to be cute", she said and shook his hand off. That fast movement made her dizzy for a moment.
"That's not just a normal morning after drinking. I'm feeling so strange Damon"
"Well you lost a lot of blood lately", he said seriously.
"Who was that?", she asked.
"I don't know"
"That's a lie. He said I should tell you that your little plans don't disturb him, but that he needs a witch and the doppelwhatever as well as another vampire", she said and fear rose again in her body.
"The lesser you know the better". Now he avoided her eyes.
"Damon. He said he needs a witch. Does that mean my grams is in danger?", she asked thinking of Sheila sitting on her terrace.
Damon laughed dark.
"Bonnie your grams is the best protected person in this city. No vampire is able to enter her house and she won't leave it with that stories going around. There is only one witch walking around under the sun unprotected and innocent". He played with his fingers and Bonnie understood. "Me. He wants to do something with me", she said and her voice was very weak.
"Damon what does he want from me?", she asked.
"You need to drink water", he said and gave her battle which apparently stood next to the bed.
"Damon answer me!", she said close to tears now.
He gave her the bottle.
"Bonnie I really don't know. I am sure it is nothing good, but at least he needs you alive for now and he is nit ready. He loves to hunt that is why he showed his power. But he doesn't want to fight yet. He is waiting for something. Waiting till he has everything. And he wants to get me and my brother angry"
"Get you angry how?", she asked drinking a bit of water.
He smiled. "You understand exactly how, Bonbon".
He looked again in his eyes and she could see something inside them. She saw deep inside he would like to drink her blood like the vampire yesterday, but there was also something strange…something like real concern. And on top of all, she could see that he thought of a lot of things he could do in that bed.
She noticed their position. Her embracing the bottle like an anchor, and Damon perching in front of her. His hands on the bed on both sides of her body.
"You know", he said like talking about the weather, "You stole me a night with Caroline yesterday….even if it wasn't all your fault….I think you owe me for saving your life and all that" .While he was talking his hand slipped onto her thigh and caressed the brown skin in little circles moving upwards and on the inner side of her upper leg slowly. His fingers touched the lace of her slip and her lower body parts began to pulsate. Her blood rushed in her ears. Her body reacted with her brain screaming no. Her hips raised a bit in his direction and his fingers landed on her . Only the thin fabrics separating his fingers and her wet skin. His other hand embraced her hip.
If Bonnie hadn't heard Elena's voice at that moment she knew she would not have been able to resist.
But that well known voice somewhere in the building got her back to reality. He was a vampire. He was not nice. He was dangerous.
"I owe you nothing. You said yourself he did not want to kill me" she said and got distance between her and his hands, escaping further on the bed.
He smiled knowing she tried to resist him.
"Elena stayed here too? Does she know now?", Bonnie asked innocently trying to change the situation.
He sighed. "No. Not yet"
She got out of the bed on the other side.
"Well than I have to think about how I tell her that I am a witch , maybe it won't be that hard for her than that her boyfriend is a vampire"
She stepped into the bathroom and didn't turn around.
"So thank you for everything I just get my clothes and…"She could not end that sentence because he suddenly stood behind her. His hands on her hips he turned her around and pressed her against the glass door. "Stop running away and resisting me", he whispered, his face only centimeters away from hers. And than he kissed her. He kissed her like he has wanted to from the first moment. With passion, with fire, with anger about her fight against him, with lust and hunger. At first her lips were closed and she tried to escape. But than he felt her body becoming softer, fitting his , her mouth opening. His tongue slipped into her mouth, dancing with hers and he could feel her suppressed desire.
His hands embraced her face while hers closed around his back pulling him closer to her.
Bonnie lost her control. She would have done anything at that moment. Everything in her body burned and screamed to be satisfied.
Knocking disturbed them and Damon was faster away from her than she could hold her balance. When Stefan stepped into the room she nearly fell to the ground with her knees shaking like hell.
"Elena asked if she should take Bonnie with her she's driving home now", Stefan said trying to understand the situation.
Damon standing on the other side of the room. Bonnie pressed to the glass door, red cheeks and chaotic hair.
"Well yes I think it would be the best if they stay together, so we can have an eye on them", Damon said and sounded like a father allowing his child to stay with a friend over the weekend.
"You want to babysit us?" Bonnie said organizing her body and mind.
"Yes cause your are only a babywitch. So please find a reason to get you two together in either your or her house and stay there", he said back to his normal asshole voice.
"Well, I needed time to talk to her anyways. But somebody will explain what is happening here tomorrow", she said and stepped outside the door with her head held up.
"Ah and Damon, I think we do not need to meet anymore, I just got the idea that I can also ask your brother anything I want", she said with every self confidence she had left after the kiss. She didn't want to get involved with Damon Salvatore. He could take care of her. But she needed distance. Distance to calm her body. Get control of her feelings. Or that whole thing would escalate, she was sure of it. But how could she be able to hold distance if some crazy vampire was chasing her? And the only ones standing between her and this threat..were the Salvatore brothers. Was Damon.
