Request...
I was watching the news; the number of animals attacks was rinsing at an alarmingly pace. Liz had called me several times about the killings. We checked up the bodies. They were definitely vampire killings. As the leader of the Council I was forced to issue an official search for the vampire or vampires attacking our town. If the unaware people of Mystic Falls knew better the reality of their situation they would just flee and leave town.
I was sipping my blood thinking about all this. Tonight I was supposed to visit the killing ground again with the little witch. Since our blood exchange I felt connected to her. I couldn't remember this happening to me before. I still could smell her and taste her. I knew when she was near me. It was maddening! All these conflicting feelings were messing up my mind when I least expected them. Only three nights ago I told her my secret and I drank her life source. It was an extraordinary exchange between us. I could swear that she enjoyed the exchange too.
Why? That question kept popping out around and pestering my thoughts. I hated it because my concern for her was growing by the minute. I need to clear my mind! This was because of her powers... It has to be! It wasn't my first time drinking witch blood; but it was a first of drinking Bennett blood offered to me willingly. It was sweeter than that night that I'd bite her from anger and desperation. I was so foolish back then, doing everything for Katherine. The woman that I gave her my heart to and she just squashed it.
Now I was certain that what I felt for her was an obsession; it wasn't love. Now I was able to differentiate, love was totally different. I loved Elena but; what bothered me about all this was that I kept comparing my feelings for Elena to the turmoil that Bonnie provoked within me. To a certain degree I cared for the witch. Why was I continuously comparing them?
Now I know that it was my mistake back then. I let my heart doubt everything...
"Damon"
"Elena"
"Are you ok? You seem distracted."
"Do you really want me to answer that?"
"Damon please. Could we have a normal conversation?"
"Normal? Define that word."
She rolled her eyes at me. I knew clearly what she meant but I couldn't help myself. Why should I waste the opportunity to make her nervous?
"Damon"
"Ok, you should tell me already. I don't have all whole day for you Elena. I have things to do."
"I'm just worried, Damon. I can't reach Bonnie. I know she is not feeling all right."
I looked at her curiously.
"What do you mean by that?"
"She is acting different at school these days and she keeps avoiding me. I know that she found the site with you, but neither she nor you had anything to tell us. Did something happen?"
"Elena... curiosity killed the cat. Leave her alone."
She looked at me surprised by my words. I should be more careful when I talk about the witch. I had a good idea why the witch was acting weird. I wasn't my usual self. I was out of my comfort zone too.
"Damon, come on. Help me with this."
"Why me? Ask my little brother or Baby vamp. They are closer to her than me."
"I don't know how to explain it Damon. It's a hunch. You should be the one talking to her. At least if she gets mad at you she will wake up from that strange haze surrounding her."
"Now I am Elena's guinea pig."
"Please Damon... do it for me."
I glared at her. At moments like this I wanted to kill her.
"Don't do that anymore."
"Do what?"
"Don't assume that I am the good man. I'm not."
After that I left her standing there. I didn't look back because at the moment I hated her. I was pissed off at her. She knew which buttons to press. She knew how to get me to do things for her. I was walking without directions. That was what I wanted to believe. I ended up at the Grill looking at Bonnie eating with the little Gilbert. Now I wanted to kill her too.
At the Grill...
I was picking at my food. I wasn't hungry at all but here I was with Jeremy. He wanted to talk about us. He wanted to apologize for our fight. He was asking for an opportunity. I agreed to come to the Grill with him. I honestly thought that he deserved the truth. We ordered our food after that an oppressive silence descended upon us. My mind was acting crazy. At one moment I was gathering the courage to tell him the truth and at the next moment I was thinking about that night. The night that I exchanged blood with my used to be enemy now my so called friend.
After that night I just ran away from him. I avoided everybody including Elena. I felt so much stronger and alive. I hadn't felt like that in so long that it took me by surprise. I didn't know how to handle it. I thought that it was a direct effect of the vampire blood running through my system. Now I was able to understand what Stefan told me once about the vampire blood. I'd never thought or expected that it would have so much of an effect on me. At certain times I thought that I felt Damon near me. It was crazy. I was slowly walking the thin line of sanity and craziness.
I was terrified by this all confusion and turmoil. I didn't want to be near him but I missed him at the same time. I didn't want to drink his blood again but I was craving him. I was nearer to him than ever and sadly I cared for him more than before because of that same night. The night that I shut down my mind and my sanity. The night he let me know the truth about himself. He let me know his human part. That part that I always doubted that existed. The part of him that ended up sinking my heart further into the madness of my feelings. That night I knew that I would never be the same person as before.
I Hate him! I must hate him...
"Bonnie"
"Huh?"
"You didn't hear anything that I just said, did you?"
"Sorry... I..." I let out a sigh filled with a lot of stress.
"No, I didn't hear you. I am sorry. I'm so sorry."
Jeremy took my hand and squeezed it a little bit.
"Bonnie you know you are important to me. I like you."
"Jeremy please... just don't do it. I need to be honest with you. I..."
"Bonnie."
"Jer... I thought...I truly and honestly thought that we could be something. That you were the one for me but I can't lie to you anymore. I care for you but I don't love you. You are very handsome and attractive. I am not blind I can see that easily. I just can't love anyone right now." I am such a liar. My heart leans toward another person...
I was stammering my words. I wanted to say so much but I couldn't find the right words. I just kept talking like there was no tomorrow for me. Probably that was the case for me. No tomorrows, no futures, no possibilities for love, no nothing.
"I knew I was taking the risk Bon. I was the one who asked you to take the risk too."
"You deserve someone who truly loves you Jer. Someone to have kids with and to be a parent. Someone who you can grow old with. I am not that person."
He nodded at me. He understood what I'd said to him. I felt a little bit better after that. I wanted so much to let him be free. I didn't want to harm him. He didn't deserve it. After that we tried idle chit-chat. It didn't work. Both of us wanted to be alone and apart from each other.
"I will ask for the bill."
"Wait! Let me give you money for my food."
"No. I invited you, so I pay. No discussions."
I gave him a sad little smile. I watched him go to the bar when I felt another presence. My skin filled with goose bumps instantly. I knew who was watching me right now from outside of the Grill. I was able to feel his anger. I turned my head around my head and held his gaze. It was Damon. My phone rang immediately.
"Come out!"
"Why are you ordering me?"
"We have an appointment."
"You are a little too early. Damon, we agreed to go to the site at midnight."
"Witch"
"What? Damon you are pissing me off. What is wrong with you?"
"If you don't come out I will go in. I am not sure if I will be able to handle myself among all those humans."
"I will kill you if you do something."
"But we are friends Bennett. How come you threaten me like that? I am serious and I am not joking."
I let out a tired sigh. This discussion would continue for a long time. I was tired of fighting and I was drained from my meeting with Jeremy. He began to walk to the Grill's door.
"Ok. I'm coming out."
After that I hung up. I was angry at him but at the same time I was happy to see him. Yes, I must be totally crazy. I walked out of the Grill. He looked angry and was staring at me like he wanted to kill me.
"I'm out. Happy?"
"Let's go."
He grabbed me by my wrist and pulled a little.
"Where are we going?"
"Everywhere and nowhere."
"What that means?"
"I don't know about you witch but I need to have some fun."
"Are you crazy? Fun! I'm not going with you."
"Why? Are you scared that you will actually have some fun?"
"It's not that. Jerk!"
"I am having fun already. Let's go."
"No. Leave me alone."
"Bennett!"
My phone rang again. I answered without hesitation. It was Elena.
"Bonnie, I sent Damon to look out for you. I was so worried because you were acting weird. I'm sorry. I think I made a mistake."
Now I totally comprehended why he was here bothering me. He was sent. He was doing this for her.
"No worries El. Damon is right here in front of me. I call you later."
I heard her weak ok before I hung up my cell.
"You can go now Damon. I know why you are here. You don't have to do anything if you don't want to."
I began to pull my wrist. I was trying to free it from his strong grasp.
"Where do you think you are going?"
"I am going home."
"No I was serious earlier. Let's have some fun."
"I know you heard clearly that Elena called me. I know the truth. Just leave me alone please."
I was trying so hard to not let my voice crack. I didn't want to show him more weakness than he already knew about me. I didn't want him to figure out that I was so pissed off at him and lets face it I didn't want him to know that I was so sad. He looked at me for some seconds. It was like nothing else mattered or existed.
"I want to make it clear, Bennett. I never do anything that I don't want to do. My reasons for me being here are a lot more that a mere request from our friend. So stop guessing what I am thinking."
I blinked at him. He had a strange and brutal way to be honest. He pulled me again. This time I didn't fight him. This time I followed him to his car. This time I really wanted to have some fun.
I shut down my mind. I decided to just live the moment... Big mistake!
