I did nothing today... except study for 3 tests for tomorrow. I should have seen this coming, since I hadn't written a test for a while. Yeah, I know, you guys REALLY wanted to know that. xD I do that sometimes... so sorry... Anyways, at the beginning of this chapter, Bonnie is having a dream and Damon may seem a little OOC, but it's just how Bonnie wants him to be like. :)
Chapter 6 -
Was It A Dream?
Bonnie explained what happened at her house to Stefan and Elena and how Damon had saved her. She didn't mention why she'd suddenly left and gone home, however, since Damon was still in the room and she didn't want him to know that she'd lied earlier. However when she finished her story, Damon was nowhere in sight.
Stefan and Elena didn't seem to notice and Bonnie allowed Elena to lead her upstairs to a room. She didn't know whose room it was, but Elena led Bonnie to the bed and helped her lie down. Pretty soon the girl fell asleep, not realizing how tired she was until her head hit the pillow and drifted off to sleep.
She was in a meadow, somewhere in the woods near Mystic Falls, though Bonnie didn't recognize the place. There was mist surrounding her and the sun was trying to make its way through the dense foliage, but to no avail. Bonnie looked down at herself and saw she was wearing the dress she'd tried on at the shop.
"Hello Bonnie." A voice said from behind her. However Bonnie wasn't scared or worried, she just simply turned around and smiled at the man standing behind her. Damon returned the smile and held out his hand, waiting for her to take it. Bonnie obliged, placing her own hand on his.
Damon pulled the girl closer to him and then placed both hands on her waist, making her sway in time to some music only he could hear. His gaze remained on Bonnie's face and the girl just continued looking up at him that smile still on her face.
"It won't work, little witch." Damon said softly to her.
"What won't work?"
"Us. I'm a vampire, you're a witch. And it isn't real, is it?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Bonnie said, now frowning. Damon then dipped her and laid his lips on her neck, kissing it softly. Bonnie shivered at the touch and before she could worry about him biting her, he pulled her back up and continued dancing.
"Tell me what you know." Damon said.
"I told you, I don't know what you're talking about."
"Hhm… maybe if I go too far, you'll tell me." He muttered and then brought a hand up to her face, stroking it and brushing away the strands of hair. Damon then moved closer, kissing her cheek and then moving down her jaw line. Bonnie was frozen in place, not sure what to do until his lips found hers. Something inside Bonnie seemed to explode as she responded to the kiss, kissing the vampire back and taking him by surprise.
Damon did not expect her to do that. Nor wrap her arms tighter around him, pulling his face closer to hers. Suddenly what had meant to be a teasing kiss turned into a more passionate one, as both parties did not seem to want to break away from it. Damon felt his eyes changing as the hunger became stronger, but the witch would not let go of him. Instead he growled, which seemed to get her attention and she let go of him and took a step back.
"What… were we doing? What was I doing? What is wrong with me?" Bonnie was saying, eyes wide. "This has to be a dream… it is…"
"Not the usual reaction I get, usually girls seem to realize how irresistible I can be." Damon teased, now going back to his usual self. "And yes, this is a dream. Which I have rudely interrupted, since talking to you in the car didn't seem to be working."
"Wha… how?" Bonnie asked, taking another step back. Damon just rolled his eyes.
"You aren't wearing anything with vervain in it, so it was easy to get inside your head, little witch." Damon smirked as he said this. "However what happened does not leave your dream world."
Bonnie frowned, still confused when a howl came from the woods. The girl looked at the forest as the howl was heard again. Then she felt it coming for her.
"Damon… help me…" Bonnie said as she felt the creature getting nearer to her, running at an amazing speed. Soon she felt Damon's arms around her from behind and his breath on her ear as he spoke to her.
"Wake up Bonnie…" He said. Bonnie then closed her eyes and when she opened them again she was back in the Salvatore boarding house, in the arms of Damon Salvatore. She didn't bother pushing away from him as she knew he knew what had just happened during the last moments of her dream.
"It's coming for me." Bonnie said, eyes going wide. "It's not going to stop until it gets me."
"Well, let's just make sure it doesn't get you." Damon said and then let go of Bonnie and walking away. Bonnie then surveyed her surroundings; she wasn't in the same room as she was when Elena put her to bed. Had she been sleep walking?
Bonnie then looked at the retreating back of the eldest Salvatore brother. Or had the dream simply been real?
xXxXx
"Good morning." Elena said as she entered Bonnie's room where she slept for the rest of Saturday and all through the night. After that encounter with Damon, Bonnie managed to sleep soundlessly. However now being awoken, Bonnie remembered the howling in her dream, coming from whatever it was that was after her. And she knew for a fact Damon had heard it too.
"Hey." Bonnie said as she sat up and then took the cup of coffee Elena handed her. "Did you… stay the night?"
"Uhm, yeah. I stayed in Stefan's room… without Stefan though." She added at the end. Bonnie then looked around the room.
"Then whose room am I in?" Bonnie asked.
"Damon's." Elena said and then made a worried face. Bonnie just shrugged and looked at her friend. "He didn't bother you, did he?"
Thinking back to the dream, Bonnie blushed, but shook her head. "Nope. Everything was fine."
"Good. Because he has been acting strange lately. When I left you yesterday, he wouldn't talk to me or Stefan."
"Uh huh." Bonnie said.
"You're not interested in this, are you?"
"I'm sorry, I'm still freaked out about the almost attack yesterday and… Damon saving me."
"Bonnie, there was something that I wanted to ask you. About Damon." Elena started, looking away from her friend now. "Is there… something going on between the two of you?"
"NO!" Bonnie said, probably a little bit too quickly. Elena looked back her, a 'I-don't-believe-that' look on her face and then Bonnie sighed. Guess it was time to spill the beans.
"Ok, so three nights ago I cast this spell to help the pain with losing Grams, however I didn't really see what it would do. I was also mad at Damon when I cast the spell and since I had pretty strong feelings for him at the time, it affected him too. Since then he's been around me all the time and he thinks something is up, that I did something since he's never… well, thought of me like this before."
"Wait, are you saying you cast a love spell?" Elena asked and Bonnie shrugged.
"I was looking up the spell when the creature came. But I think it does have something to do with why Damon seems to be drawn to me and why… it doesn't hurt anymore when I think of Grams."
"Is there any way to undo the spell?" Elena asked and Bonnie opened her mouth to respond when the door opened and in strolled Damon, who did not look too happy. And then Bonnie remembered something Elena had told her, about vampires having good hearing.
"You lied to me, little witch." Damon said, walking towards her. "Now I suggest you undo the spell now."
"Damon." Elena said, standing in the way of the vampire and her friend. Bonnie got off the bed, watching Damon as he watched her. He didn't look too mad, however he did seem hurt that she hadn't been truthful to him.
"Damon, if you wanted to get rid of your feelings for me, you would have done so long ago." Bonnie found herself saying. "It's not that strong of a spell and since you knew something was up, you would be able to fight it."
"Stop playing games, little witch." Damon said, watching her as Bonnie came closer to him.
"No, I think you really do care about me." Bonnie said, taking a step closer to him, her heart beating faster out of fear and excitement.
"Keep dreaming."
"I'll try." Damon couldn't help but smile at her retort, but then it quickly disappeared.
"If I was you, I'd leave. I don't need you to help me get over Katherine." Damon said to her, looked over at Elena, and left the room. Bonnie stood there, looking at the door until she felt Elena's hand on her shoulder.
"Bonnie?" Elena said, worry now in her voice. Bonnie looked at her friend and saw concern in her eyes. Only then did she realize she was crying. "Oh Bonnie."
"I have to go." The witch said, running out before Elena could hug her. She hurried down the stairs and out the house, not running into either Salvatore brothers. Bonnie just kept on running, taking a short cut through the woods. Not the best choice, but she didn't care anymore. She stopped when she reached the cemetery again and fell down in front of a tombstone. Bonnie looked up and saw it was Grams' grave.
"Oh Grams…" Bonnie started to say and then cried, throwing herself onto the ground and sobbing her heart out. "I made myself fall in love with him." She said to herself. "In the past three days he's all I've thought about, and because of a stupid spell. But I can't help it; he's always there! Oh Grams, what have I done?" She just lay there, letting all the feelings she had been holding back the past three days come flooding out. She could not believe how she had managed to keep all this in, thanks to that spell. Bonnie's heart felt like it was being ripped out as she sobbed, but as she started calming down, so did her heart. This was her finally moving on, a week had passed and she couldn't be the sad little girl who had lost her grandmother. It had taken Elena months to recover from her parent's death, but Bonnie was going to get through this, she still had her father, her best friend and… She wasn't going to finish that sentence.
Finally Bonnie lifted herself off the ground and then sat crossed legged in front of the tombstone. It was peaceful in the cemetery, no one was there… no, wait, there was another presence there… and it was coming for her.
"Oh no…" Bonnie said and quickly jumped up, looking around her. This was not a good idea, running off and telling no one where you are going… And nowhere out except in the forest. But it could catch her if she ran.
Bonnie stood her ground, getting herself ready for when the creature appeared and she would have to use her powers. It was getting closer now… it was almost there…
"Bonnie?" The girl let out a shriek and turned around. There stood Tyler Lockwood, looking confused as ever.
Dun, dun, DUN! :) I love cliffhangers... however I hated the confrontation between Bonnie and Damon. It wasn't... the best thing in the world, but whatever. Question time:
What is your favourite colour/animal/food? :) RANDOM!
Ok, so my favourite colour is red. But proper red, not dark or too light, just plain old normal red. Favourite animal is a monkey. I actually don't know why I love monkeys so much, I just do! And favourite food is by far pizza. I like Italian food... :D
