Chapter 6: Flashes

Bits and pieces were slowly coming back to Damon but everything was still a blank to Bonnie for some reason though. It didn't take her very long to find the vampire in question. They practically ran into each other outside of town by the old woods where this whole thing started; it seemed that they both had the same idea.

"What are you doing here?"

They both asked each other at the same time.

Damon answered first, "I remembered that it started here. I lied, some of the last two days are coming back to me but you are not going to like it though."

"Why not, what did you remember and try not to leave anything out this time?"

"What are you talking about? I didn't forget to tell you anything?"

"Really, well according to Stefan we obviously did have sex because he could smell it all over us. Care to explain, why you lied?"

"Oh, that's simple because I knew that it would freak you out; if you knew that we really did sleep together again and more than once. I was only trying to spear your delicate feelings but to be honest; I do know that we slept together but it kind of disturbs me that I can't remember defiling you over and over though. I do remember some of the first night; it's starting to come back to me like a fog is lifting from me. It feels like I have been compelled or put under a spell. Just what did you do to me last night?"

"It wasn't me; it was Emily, she tricked me and I fell for it because I really thought that she wanted to help. I should have realized that she was up to something; when she asked me to involve you."

"She told you that, did she actually mention me by name?"

"Yea, so what does it matter if she said your name?"

"I guess not but she is always trying to mess with me even from the grave. I mean she acts as if it's my fault that she's dead, I did try to save her doesn't that count for something?"

"I guess it doesn't matter to her; if you tried to save her or not. What do you remember now?"

"Well, I remember us standing her in that circle burned into the ground. Lets try to recreate the scene; maybe it will jog our memories?"

"Ok, anything is worth a try."

They walk over to where the grass is all singed off and stand in the middle of it. He takes her hands; the minute he touches her; more memories come back in flashes to Damon and Bonnie both.

"Wow, did you see that?"

Damon asked her.

"Yea, I saw it but it was blurry and it was like watching someone else doing those vile things with you. It wasn't me and I thought that it was Emily maybe but that did not seem like her at all? Do you have any idea who it was that came across and possessed me?"

"No, not a clue I really wish that I did know because then maybe I would know what her motives are. I know that there is no way that Emily wanted to have sex with me; so it had to be someone else but who? Bonnie, you must have some clue and why would she do this to me?"

"I don't know any more than you do Damon. I certainly didn't ask to be violated or defiled in such a way either you know. Trust me there is no way that I would have picked you to be the first vampire that I had sex with. I mean you have been through literally all of my friends; which makes you practically a walking and talking disease factory, I would never have picked you in a million years. Oh, my God, I just thought of something?"

"What is it now?"

"Caroline is never going to forgive me; she will hate me forever. If she ever finds out; which I know she will; because Stefan just can't keep a secret from anyone. How long do you think I have before he cracks and tells her?"

"Wow, you seem real concerned about what Caroline will think about your part in all this? Why do you figure she will hate or even blame you? When in fact this will most likely give her even more of a reason to hate me. She will blame me and say I tricked you or seduced you against your will; yet again painting me as the villain in the story, don't you get that?"

"I would never let her do that, besides we were both under a spell it wasn't our fault and you know it. We were not ourselves therefore it wasn't our fault, right?"

"I'm sorry Bonnie but no; that's not true, when we touched just for a few seconds in the burnt circle I remembered almost everything. I remembered how you touched me and oh, how many times we were together. I wasn't under any spell except a lust filled one set aflame by you."

"Oh, my God what are you talking about we were only together once?"

"No, I'm afraid not Bonnie; we slept together many times, so many that I lost track of how many times that I was inside you and I'm not talking about just my biting you either. I mean I did devour you in more ways than one if you know what I mean. You were so amazing right here in that spot over there, you just gave yourself to me completely. Do you want to do a repeat of the other night again?"

Bonnie backed away as if his mere touch of his hand on her arm burned her.

"Um, no that will not ever happen again, Damon you should stay away from me in fact."

"What if I don't want to stay away from you; what if I want to be as close to you as two people could possibly get?"

Bonnie started to back away again; but she wasn't paying attention to where she was going. She almost stumbled over a rock behind her but just as she started to fall before she could hit her head; she was in Damon's arms as if she always belonged there. He didn't know what possessed him; but after staring into her beautiful eyes for only a moment; he bent his head and kissed her deeply. Her first reaction should have been to pull away; but it surprised both of them when she only pulled him even closer to her.

Neither one of them was thinking about anyone or anything; except for this moment in time between them. For the first time Bonnie just let go and let Damon take this wherever he was going to take it to. They were kissing each other so fanatically; that neither of them noticed a passer by watching them in the near distance. It was Caroline; who stood there in shock unable to move or speak out to either of them.

She wanted to call out but by the time that she found her voice they were long gone already. They barely made it to the car before their clothes laid in a heap at their feet. He was touching her as if he was afraid that she would disappear at any moment. Bonnie was not the type of girl that had sex in her car with a boy; but he wasn't any ordinary boy; this was a vampire. He knew exactly what he was doing; because he had more experience than every male that lived in town.

Right before things went too far; he stopped and asked, "Are you sure that you want this?"
