Chapter 6: Decisions
"Truth or shot," Damon asked as he smiled flirtatiously at Bonnie.
"Really? Damon, we've been playing this game for two hours. Can we please play something else? You're wasted and I'm borderline drunk. Not all of us have the ability to wake up hangover free," Bonnie replied.
"You're doing it again."
"Doing what?"
"Being judgy. Don't be a buzzkill. Besides, it's not like you have class tomorrow. Remember, we're stuck in my own personal hell. Tomorrow will be just another boring supernaturally repeating day."
"Well, unlike you, I try to be productive. I've been studying Grams' grimoire and I know I'm close to awakening my magic. I just need to-what's so funny," Bonnie asked as Damon was consumed with a fit of giggles.
"Your optimism. We've been stuck here for four months, Bon. If you were going to get your magic back, I think you would have gotten it by now. Aww, come on, don't look like that. You're going to make me cry. Come on, truth or shot?"
"Shot," Bonnie replied as she rolled her eyes and thought, Maybe if I get drunk enough I won't feel the overwhelming urge to set him on fire.
"Shots, shots, shots, shots," Damon sang in the tune of LMFAO's song as Bonnie downed the shot.
"My turn. Truth or shot, Damon?"
"Truth."
"Do you think we'll ever get out of here?"
Damon's gleeful look transformed into a solemn expression. His mouth moved as if to answer the question, but he closed it and looked down.
"Damon," Bonnie nervously asked.
"I-we need more tequila. We're out," Damon said as he stood up and headed to the dining room.
Good move Bonnie, way to ruin the mood. Should I go after him?
Swoosh.
"I'm baaack. Lucky for us, we still have three bottles left," Damon said as he filled his shot glass.
He downed it. Then, he started drinking straight from the bottle.
"Damon," Bonnie cautiously asked.
Damon kept drinking.
"Damon?"
He kept drinking.
"Damon?"
"What? What do you want me to say, Bonnie? 'Of course, we'll get out. I just know it.' Well, I won't. We've be stuck here for months. You don't have your magic back and I don't even know if we're dead or alive. I-" Damon said as his voice cracked and his eyes filled with tears.
Bonnie ran over to Damon and pulled him into a hug and gently said, "It'll be alright, Damon. I know it will. We'll get out of here before you know it. Grams and the witches wouldn't send us here unless there was a way out."
"How can you be so hopeful?"
"Because hope is power. Hope is what keeps people moving forward," Bonnie said as she looked into Damon's eyes and placed a hand on his cheek.
Damon reached down and placed both his hands on Bonnie's face gently grasping both her cheeks.
"Damon?"
He moved his face towards hers and he gently kissed her. At first, Bonnie was in shock and her lips didn't move. Then, she began to kiss him back. As their kiss grew more passionate, Damon lifted Bonnie up and vamped them to a nearby couch. He gently placed her down and they continued kissing. Bonnie pulled Damon's face closer to hers and deepened their kiss. Then, Damon's lips left hers.
"Damon," Bonnie breathlessly said as he started leaving a trail of kisses along her neck.
Then, he began unbuttoning her blouse.
"Wait, stop. What are we doing?"
"Making out," Damon replied as he began kissing Bonnie again.
"No, we need to stop," Bonnie said in attempt to sound stern.
"Why," Damon asked as he continued kissing her neck.
"Because..."
"Because?"
"Because, Elena," Bonnie said as Damon's lips froze.
"Right..."
They both awkwardly stood up and began to walk away from each other.
Oh my God. I must be drunker than I thought. I just made out with Damon. What is wrong with me? Man, things are going to be so awkward...
Bonnie slowly turned to look at Damon and said, "Listen-"
"Truth or shot?"
"Excuse me."
"Truth or shot? This will be the last round."
"Are you being serious right now? I think we have something more important to discuss."
"I know, but we can deal with it later."
"Truth," Bonnie said as she rolled her eyes.
"Since this is the last round, I get to ask two questions."
"Fine, whatever."
"Would you ever consider becoming a vampire?"
"What?"
"A vampire, you know, like me. And the rest of your friends."
That was random...
Bonnie looked down and said, "I've never really thought about it...I like being human. To be honest, being a vampire would be the worst thing that could happen to me... Uh...no offense."
"None taken."
"I like being human. There something very fulfilling about having a finite life."
Bonnie awkwardly cleared her throat then asked, "Next question?"
Damon looked down and cleared his throat. Then, he asked, "Can we pretend us...uh...kissing...never happened. I-"
"Sure."
Shocked, he looked up and said, "Well, that was easy."
Bonnie laughed and replied, "We're both drunk. That's the only reason that happened. It's not like we have feelings for eac-"
Then, Bonnie's eyes flew open.
My throat hurts...
"You're finally awake," Matt exclaimed.
"Matt, what-Oh my God, Kai he's-"
"He's gone, Bon. But he left this," Matt said as he showed Bonnie the camcorder with a small note that said, Watch me :), attached.
Bonnie removed the note and turned on the camcorder.
Why was I dreaming about that? That was so random. I haven't thought about that night in months. I- why does my throat hurt so bad...
The screen turned on and Kai appeared.
"You found this. Yay! This recording will self-destruct in 5...4...3...just kidding! So, Bonster, you're probably wondering why you're still alive. I'm in a good mood so I'll give you thirty seconds to guess. Bum, bum, bum," Kai said as he hummed the Jeopardy song.
Matt and Bonnie stared at each other in abject horror.
"Time's up! You see, the thing is, killing you as punishment for leaving me behind is boring...predictable even. So, I wanted to do something a little different. Then, it hit me. I remembered a night I was spying on you and Damon, and I saw you making out-excuse me-playing Shot or Truth. Oh, don't look so shocked Matt...at least that's how I predict you'll react."
He couldn't have turned m-
"Anywho, I remembered that short conversation you two had about you becoming a vampire. And I remembered the look of horror that crossed your face at the thought of becoming a vampire. Then, it hit me. Turn her into a vampire! Lucky for me, you made it so easy by coming here with just Matt on the one day this house would be empty and you didn't even tell anyone where you two were going."
That's why my throat is so sore...
"By now, you're in transition. Lucky for you, I left a nice snack for you to nibble on. No need to thank me. Oh, I should probably mention, I spelled this room. You and Matt can't leave until you complete the transition or you die. You only have a few hours left to decide. Tick tock, Bon."
Then, the screen went blank. Matt and Bonnie sat in silence as they stared at the blank screen of the camcorder.
"Bonnie, what will you do?"
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Bon?"
"..wrry...m..," Bonnie attempted to reply but her words were slurred by her tears.
"Bon," Matt apprehensively asked.
"I'm sorry, Matt. But I have to live," Bonnie said as she vamped towards Matt and plunged her teeth into his neck.
