A/N: Now it's going to start making sense. Note: You'll recognize a scene from the TV show. Be on the look out. It's slightly different though.

Chapter 6

"She had claws!" Elena stated once again, anger rising.

It was unbelievable how no one seemed to listen.

"It's Shinichi." Stefan said, "It must be a distraction of some sort."

"Guys I'm siding with Elena, I mean the paint was scratched off!"

Sage was in the corner of the room; listening and so was Mrs. Flowers.

"Well we all need to stay in the perimeter of the house, we don't know what he's planning."

"We can't just hide forever!" Stefan shot back.

Elena looked at him while Mrs. Flowers spoke, "I know dear, will think of something."

Elena was tapping her fingers on the table, "We need to make sure were all well trained for this."

"We just need to find out what he's planning." Matt stated.

"Excuse me." Sage interrupted and looked at Elena, "Madame if I may?"

"Of course Sage!" Elena smiled warmly towards him.

"It's just an idea mind you but maybe we can ask Bonnie to use her powers and try and figure out what's going on for his plan."

"It's risky, Sage." Stefan said.

"It was merely a suggestion Stefan." Sage said politely.

"It's good Sage." Elena said while looking back towards Stefan, "Maybe we should all think this over, talk about it later when everyone else is awake?"

"Yes. Good thinking Elena."

Dear Diary,

Stefan is my soul mate-but we are hitting a rough patch. Is that supposed to be normal? I want to talk to Bonnie about it and when I'm done writing I'm going to go wake her, it's almost ten in the morning. Stefan is still hard and cold and I think it's because of his imprisonment, he needs to talk about it with someone. It doesn't have to be me! It could be Matt or Bonnie or Damon but someone! He's shutting me out and I need to stop him. Well today's a new day so anything can happen. Goodbye for now.

Bonnie found herself covered in a leather jacket. Collecting her thoughts she remembered whose jacket it was and why it was there. Damon was next to her and in a deep sleep with his legs sprawled on the bed.

There night consisted of discussing traveling. Damon talked about all the places he's been and there was a lot. He talked about the beauty, unusual alcoholic beverages, and all the women he's met. Bonnie specifically asked for him to not go into detail about the women and he obeyed her wishes.

The entire night it wasn't just Damon talking and Bonnie nodding her head it was Bonnie asking all different questions and commenting, smiling, and laughing in all the right places. She liked Damon, how much he had changed. She discovered how compassionate he was and when he was a vampire he blocked most of it out.

Damon rolled over then and sat up and looked down at her.

"Hey." She said, "How you feeling?"

Damon swung his feet off the bed, "When did you get up?"

"A few minutes ago." She stated.

"To answer your question I feel good. Really good." He paused, "Of course I need to change out of these clothes of I'm going to get suspicious looks at breakfast."

Bonnie nodded, "I'd better do the same." She sat up and pulled off the jacket and handed it to him, "I'll see you later."

As she headed for the door Damon called her name and she turned her head, "Yeah?"

"Last night was…fun. We should do it again."

"We should." She smiled and disappeared out the door.

When Bonnie walked into her room she found Elena sitting on her bed. Elena had that look on her face that said she really needed her advice. Her expressions changed as she stared at her, "Why are you wearing the same clothes as yesterday?"

Bonnie ignored her walking to her dresser. She somehow managed to take her entire wardrobe back to Mrs. Flowers without any crazy girls following her, "Don't ask."

"I just did." She paused, "Oh Bonnie never mind! I need you on this bed with a pint of ice cream!"

Bonnie looked at her and smiled, "I could use one of those talks. I'll go ask Mrs. Flowers if she has any."

"Two spoons!" Elena called and slumped on the bed.

At the bottom of the stairs Mrs. Flowers was there holding out a pint of chocolate ice cream and two spoons. Bonnie smiled at her.

"Oh hurry back upstairs dear, there's plenty more in the cellar."

Bonnie dug her silver spoon into the creamy chocolate. She watched Elena take an ever-bigger scoop and stuff it in her mouth.

"Elena, what's wrong?"

Elena made a face as she choked down the extremely cold amount of ice cream in her mouth, "Stefan."

Bonnie looked puzzled, "You need to go into more detail. I'm confused."

"He's so different. So closed off and angry. I thought that me just being with him would make him better but it's not working. He snaps at me and he closes himself off. I just don't know what to do."

Bonnie sighed, "Oh Elena. When something horrible like that happens to someone they shut down. Completely. They become so different because there hurt and they feel alone. When something bad happens to them they think no one else can understand but all you can do is listen."

Elena took another scoop of ice cream, "How do you know?"

"Trust me." Bonnie said, "I know." Bonnie knew. She knew a lot more than anyone.

"If he tells me everything will he be the same again?"

"I'm sure he will." She explained, "But there will be times when he'll have dark days but he'll be okay."

Elena was looking down at the bedspread and Bonnie too her hand, "He's broken but you of all people can fix him."

"Okay. Bonnie I don't know what I'd do without you." She smiled lightly.

"I have to show you something. " She said suddenly and smiled at her blonde best friend. She stood and checked the windows. Some were open but she latched them tightly. She then headed over to the door to make sure it was locked.

"Is this where you kill me?" Elena asked, smiling.

"Of course." Bonnie laughed, "Gotta go get the chainsaw."

Elena laughed, "Okay seriously, what are you doing?"

Bonnie then headed under the bed and pulled out a pillowcase. She flipped it on the bed and a bunch of white feathers came out.

"Did you kill a bird for these?"

"I ripped a pillow." Bonnie replied casually.

"Please explain why you ripped a perfectly good pillow."

"Well." Bonnie began, "All the windows are locked and so is the door. So no air in here right?"

Elena hesitated and sat crossed legged, "Yeah. Bonnie what's going on?"

Bonnie smiled, "This is the first person I'm showing this too. So just watch."

Elena raised her eyebrows but watched Bonnie as she shut her eyes and raised her hands on the feathers. Then one single feather floated it mid air. Elena gasped and smiled at the breath taking seen before her. Another feather popped up in midair and soon the entire pile was levitating in midair around the two girls. Elena stood on the bed and giggled as the feathers swooped around her.

"I've been practicing my powers, Elena."

"I can see-Oh Bonnie this is amazing! This made my day entirely better, thank you!"

"Your welcome."

Elena was laughing and smiling inside and out but deep down in her gut she knew Sage's idea might work now more than ever.

Xoxo

After laughing in the floating feathers and finishing off the ice cream Elena headed off to find Stefan. Meanwhile Bonnie found herself spiraling down into a very dark place. Today was her dark day. She steadied herself as she sunk down onto the floor and leaned against her bed, knees up to chin, staring blankly.

She wasn't sure about everything else Shinichi had said but she was positively sure that he was right about one thing. She was a murderer.

A/N: Suspense! Such a cliffhanger, I know. But this will leave you wanting more while I'm on my cruise. I'll update when I get back! Please REVIEW! thanks so much!
