Chapter 6

My Heart Goes Flip- Flop

Bonnie POV

Last time on Love in the Time of Vampires:

"So basically what you're saying is that Caroline's 20 something boyfriend who just moved back to town is beating her up." He gathered all his knowledge to say.

"Pretty much." I said as we got into his car.

"Well then why is she still with him?" he asked me. I sighed and decided it was time he knew; after all we could use him as an ally.

"Because he's a vampire, Luka."

Love in the Time of Vampires

"A vampire?" Luka looked at me with his eyebrows raised. I would think he looked hysterical, but under the circumstances we were in, I wouldn't dare.

"Yes, a vampire." I replied simply. Hopefully, simple answers will help my cause of him believing me. Then he does something unexpected, he sighs. I scrunch my face up in confusion.

"I was hoping you didn't know." He said looking at me.

"You were hoping I didn't know Damon was a vampire?" I asked him, not wanting to believe he was somehow involved in all of this.

"No, I was hoping you didn't know there were vampires in Mystic Falls, or better yet in the world." He replied as he pulled out of the parking space. The reason he did this, I realized, was because he didn't want me to try to leave before he explained.

"Okay, so my father and I, as you already know, are witches." I nod for him to continue.

"Well, there is this really powerful vampire, an Original, names Claus. His evilness is peerless. He's been around since the beginning of time and he is the most stalwart vampire out there." He starts but I cut him off wanting to know what an Original was.

"It's a vampire that was born not made. There are only about a handful but they are the ones who started the Vampire race." He answered my question easily.

"Anyway, he wants to break this curse; the sun and moon curse that was put on Vampires and Werewolves a long time ago. It hindered Vampires from walking in the sun and forced Werewolves to only turn on the full moon." He continues.

"Right, I read about that curse in Emily's book, but how can he break it? It takes a pair of Doppelgangers and the moon stone, not to mention some other stuff to break it." I asked him. That's when he told me the most horrible thing. Elena was Katherine's Doppelganger and that Claus needed to sacrifice her to break the spell.

"We can't let that happen!" I cried out.

"Don't worry; that's what my father and I are here for. We're going to protect you guys. Elijah, he's another Original vampire but he is on our side, sent us here so we could keep an eye out for Elena and you guys." He told me. I was skeptical about the part where there was another Original vampire.

"Are you sure this Elijah fellow is good?" I asked, shaking my head at the idea of another vampire being our ally. As far as I can tell, I don't count Damon as an ally, not after what he did to Caroline, but Stefan was defiantly an ally. He and Lexie were the only vampires I knew that weren't evil. I assume her boyfriend too was nice, but he was gone before I could really form an opinion about him.

"He's been with us through everything." He declared. I was too absorbed in my thoughts to hear him, but when he called my name and got my attention, he repeated his answer.

"Everything? What do you mean?" I asked him. He looked down at his hands which were in his lap. My mind suddenly registered the fact that he was not driving. I looked out the window and realized that the car had stopped. We were parked somewhere deep on a forest road. I didn't recognize the road, which was weird since I lived here my whole life.

"Claus needs a lot of witches to be able to perform the sacrifice for the curse to lift so he took my sister." He said in a voice just above a whisper. My mouth formed an O.

"Oh my, I'm so sorry Luka. Can we get her back?" I asked immediately. He turned to look at me.

"That's what we've been trying to do. Elijah, my dad and I; we've been trying to form a plan to kill Claus so we can get her back. One part of the plan is to make sure Elena stays safe." I was amazed at his stalwartness. I nodded my head and said I'd do whatever I could to help. He nodded his thanks and then started driving again.

Love in the Time of Vampires

"Are you sure you put enough Ravine in her coffee this morning?" I asked Elena as we walked into school.

"Yes, I'm sure." Elena replied to me as Caroline walked into the hallway.

"Caroline!" I called out. She seemed so much better! Her eyes had that glow of life in them that was absent for a while. Her face was brighter than it had been in a while. She turned to us and smile. A real smile from Caroline! Wow!

"Hey," she called out to us. I smiled and walked up to her, Elena right behind me.

"You look so much better." I commented as I kissed her cheek hello.

"Thank you." This made her smile and she really did look happy, but that's when it all crashed. The one and only Damon Salvatore walked into the hallway and put his arm around her waist. I immediately started glaring daggers at him. What the hell is he doing here?

"Hello Bonnie, Elena. And how are you two this fine morning?" He leans in to kiss Caroline on the cheek. She gushed over his manners and then told us he dropped her off this morning and they were going on a date later today. I smiled with fake enthusiasm at her cheerfulness. The minute the bell rang, Caroline and Elena went off to their classes, but I pulled Damon aside.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!" I yell at him the minute we are outside the school.

"Being a polite boyfriend. Did you honestly think I wouldn't realize I couldn't compel her before long?" He cornered me. His chest pressed my chest as my back hit a wall. I took a deep breath at how close we were. I didn't know why my heart did this weird flip-flop whenever he was this close to me, but I did know that I was attracted to him. I finally let that sink it. That feeling has been with me since the day I first met him, but I suppressed it. I tried to think my attraction was just based on his vampire powers or something.

"I don't want you hurting Caroline anymore. That was my one and only reason for spiking her with Ravine." I answered him truthfully, trying to maintain my glare. Something I clearly did not accomplish since he leaned in and kissed me. He KISSED me. I was so shocked I didn't react, but then I felt the urge to kiss him back and that's what I did.
