Damon sat in a black, plush chair in his room twirling a glass of scotch in his hand. He had been sitting in the same place for a little over three hours watching the witch that was asleep in his bed. The steady rhythm of her breathing and the two heartbeats lulled him. It wasn't until he got up to refill his scotch when he heard Bonnie moan his name. He laughed, thinking Bonnie was having an erotic dream about him.

She moaned his name again but this time she stated to toss and turn. Damon realized that she was having a nightmare, the nightmare. This was a new experience for him. He always watched from afar but now seeing her up close, it gnawed at him seeing her in agony. He pulled the chair next to the bed and sat in it. Grabbing her hand, he came to the conclusion that he needed to see her dream for himself, to see her point of view.

A couple of minutes went by before Damon released Bonnie's hand. She had stopped tossing in her sleep, but tears had run down her cheeks. Hastily, he got and hurriedly poured himself a new glass of scotch. It burned going down his throat but he welcomed it. When it was empty, he poured himself another and gulped down in one swig.


Her screams echoed in his head. He wanted to do something, anything that could make him get rid of the pain he just experienced. But he stopped himself. Sure Stefan healed her body, but nobody could get rid of the pain she experienced.

He slumped back down into the chair again, noticing that even though she was still asleep, her hand rested over her stomach. He gladly accepted his punishment if it meant he'd get a child out of it. The vampire wanted to touch her stomach, to feel the life growing there but he, once again, stopped himself. He wanted Bonnie herself to give him permission to do so. So for now, he'd wait.


Caroline stopped by the Boarding House before she went to school. Damon had called her earlier and asked if she could pick up some clothes for Bonnie from her house. She agreed but was a little skeptical. When she asked him why he had hung up the phone on her. What a jerk! She thought as she opened the door.

Stefan was in foyer drinking his morning cup of human blood. "Morning Caroline." He said holding up a cup for her. She grabbed it and chugged it all in one gulp. "Mmmm, thanks Stefan. Is Bonnie here?" She asked holding up a bag. "She's upstairs in Damon's room."

"Really? I guess things went really well last night."

"No nothing like that. Damon told me she fell asleep in his car on the way home last night. Since he hasn't been invited, he brought her here instead."

"Oh. I don't understand. Couldn't he have asked one of us to take her home?"

Stefan finished his drink and sat the cup down on the wooden coffee table. "I think Damon wanted to talk to Bonnie about something. I can't tell you what because he doesn't talk to me on issues that concerns Bonnie."

Caroline was about to reply when Damon shouted from the stairway. "Hey Blondie, I don't have time for you and Stefan to play tea party. Throw me her clothes already!"

The blonde scoffed at his rudeness but threw the bag as requested. Damon caught it with ease and went back to his room. Sighing, the young vampire plopped down on the chair next to Stefan. "Are you glad Katherine is in the tomb?"

"I am. It feels like something in me has been set free. For 145 years, I've thought about nothing but her until I met Elena. It's different but I feel better. I just now have to work on getting Elena back."

Caroline was about to say something when she was interrupted by Damon and Bonnie coming down the stairs. "Damn it witch that was too close to my man parts." "You try that again and I would burn more than just your pants." Bonnie spotted her friend and waved. "Morning Caroline." Bonnie greeted her and sat on the couch next to the fireplace. "Thanks for the clothes."

Caroline waved her off, smiling. "No problem, Bonnie. I was happy to help."

Damon paced between the three, wanting to get to the other reason he invited Caroline. "Hey Caroline. Can we skip the teen drama and tell us what happened last night with dog boy junior. I had to hear it from Stefan that he activated the curse."

All eyes were on Caroline as she retold them what happened last night. "After I left you guys with Katherine I saw Matt and Tyler getting into an argument. They were fighting and I broke it up, punching Matt in the face. Out of nowhere, Sarah stabs Tyler in the chest with one of those letter openers. He pushed her away and she fell, hitting her head on the edge of the desk."

"Does Matt remember anything?" Damon asked.

"No, he thinks he blacked out from the alcohol. But I think that they both were compelled by Katherine so that's why I told Mrs. Lockwood that it was an accident."

"When we were stuck in the room with Katherine, she told us about using Tyler as a substitute for Mason. For some reason, she really wanted a werewolf." Stefan said to the group.

"It was really good that you got there in time Caroline." Bonnie praised the vampire making her smile.

Damon scoffed at Caroline. "I don't understand why you covered from him. The guy's a tool."

"Gee, and you aren't?" Bonnie smirked at the blue-eyed vampire. "Ha-ha. I'm a dick, there's a big difference."

"Damon, I had to cover for him. Tyler getting blamed for Sarah's death opens up a lot of questions that he can't answer. Besides, he can't tell his mom he's a werewolf. She'd freak, I should know."

Caroline's face fell as she thought about her mom. It was hard on her when her mother freaked about her transformation into the one thing she hated. "Besides, I thought I did really good thinking on my feet. We all know that Werewolf Road leads straight to Vampire Boulevard and onto Witch Lane."

Bonnie and Stefan chuckled at Caroline's words while Damon narrowed his icy blue eyes. "Hey, where's your mom?"

"She left early this morning. She's leading the search party for Aimee. They haven't found her body yet."

"I can help with that one. I put the body at the bottom of the ravine. You should pass that little information on to your mom, bet she'd love that. Hey did you by any chance see Tyler's eyes change?"

"Yeah they were like gold with amber highlights. Does this mean Tyler can now change into a werewolf?"

Damon and Stefan groaned. They had another problem on their hands. "Only on the full moon. Now he has increased strength and who knows what else. I wonder if Mason told him anything about his abilities."

"I don't think so. If he did, he wouldn't have been so freaked out."

"Does he know about us?" Damon asked.

Caroline shook her head. "I doubt it. He would've hurt me if he knew what I was. I felt really bad for him, he doesn't have someone to show him the ropes. Maybe I should ask him if he knows something."

Bonnie could see Damon not liking Caroline's words. She got up and pulled on Caroline's hand. "Ok that's enough of interrogating Caroline. Come on Care bear, we're late for school." Caroline got up and followed Bonnie out of the room and to the door.

Stefan got up as well and followed the girls. Damon was mad, he knew better than to let Caroline talk to the teen wolf. He sped towards the door, appearing in front of the pair. "No we are not finished Bonnie. Caroline, you better not talk to him. He cannot know about us. A werewolf bite can kill us all. Did you not think about Bonnie either? The kid's half vampire. Who knows how a bite can affect her, vervain already does. So don't make friends with him, understand?"

Caroline gulped in fear. "I understand." Bonnie shook her head. "Caroline you don't have to say anything to him. Damon, stop being an ass to Caroline. She's done nothing wrong and you should be thanking her. It's because of her we know Tyler triggered the curse. So move out of our way, we're late for school."

Damon looked at her with his piercing blue eyes, anger radiating off him. Bonnie wasn't intimidated. She used her powers to open the door and he stepped aside. Bonnie grabbed Caroline's hand and led her to her car. The brothers watched as the white Prius drove away, leaving them standing in the doorway.

Stefan patted his brother's shoulder. "You know Bonnie's right. You're too hard on Caroline." Damon removed the hand. "Listen if you want to get soft on her, fine. But don't blame me when you get bitten by a dog." Stefan shook his head and headed to his car. Damon would come around, all thanks to a certain witch.


Bonnie sat in third period bored out of her mind. It was so hard to concentrate on Hamlet when you had other things on your mind. For instance, Damon. Because he was such a cold person, hearing him say something so truthful and honest blew her out of the water.

How was she supposed to act? Happy? Ecstatic? Overjoyed? This was new territory for her and it scared her. Scared her so much. The bell rung and she hurried to her next class, wanting to talk with Elena and Caroline about this.


Stefan paced back and forth waiting for Damon to show. He should've known something like this would happen. When Jeremy told him Elena never came home, he got scared and called Damon to meet him at the school. He would do everything in his power to make sure Elena got home safely.

Seeing the black Camaro pull up, Stefan stopped his pacing. "Thanks for coming Damon."

"Stefan, what's wrong?

"Jeremy told me Elena never came home after the party. This has Katherine written all over it."

Damon snorted. "Ha she wishes. Katherine's in the tomb. I put her there myself."

"Are you sure?"

Damon narrowed his eyes, "Am I sure what? You're not thinking I let her go, are you?"

"I'm just saying that Katherine has a certain hold on you."

"Please, the only feelings I have towards her are anger and more anger. She's in the tomb, period, end of story."

Stefan sighed and started to pace once more. "Sorry I'm just so worried about Elena. It's hard not knowing where she is or if she's well."

Damon nodded in agreement. Then he remembered something Katherine told him just hours ago. "Shit. I thought she was lying but maybe I was wrong."

"What are you talking about?"

"When I locked Katherine in the tomb, she was telling me something but I thought she was lying, Stefan. Everything that comes out of her mouth is a lie."

"Damon what did she say?"

"She said that Elena and Bonnie are in danger."

"Damon you didn't think to tell me any of this?" Stefan yelled.

"How was I supposed to know she'd spit out the truth? Everything she says is a lie!" Damon ran a hand through his midnight-black locks. This arguing was getting them nowhere.

"Damon we got to go and talk to her."

"Fuck that, we are not going to go and ask her for shit. Let me tell how it'll go if we go down there. We ask for help, she's gonna negotiate her freedom, and you're gonna be dumb enough to let her out, then she ends up killing us. Stefan this is exactly what she wants!"

Stefan snarled. He had to get Elena back, wherever she was. He knew someone who would help. "I don't really care. It's Elena. There's only one person who can help."

Stefan started to walk away from Damon but the elder vampire stopped him. "If you're thinking about going to Bonnie…"

"What? You're going to stop me? I'm not going to force her to anything, unlike you."

Damon quietly growled but he didn't respond. Stefan saw that as an opportunity to leave. She turned his back to his brother and went back into the building looking for Bonnie.

He spotted her at her locker, grabbing a textbook and shutting the metal door. "Bonnie!" Stefan yelled loud enough for Bonnie to hear him. "Stefan, hey. Have you seen Elena? She wasn't in class so I thought she was with you."

He didn't respond which made Bonnie worry. He pulled her into an empty room. "Bonnie, Jeremy told me Elena didn't come home last night. I'm thinking Katherine had something to do with it. Is there any way you could lift the spell on the tomb?"

Bonnie sighed, sitting down on one of the chairs. She was still sleepy and she hadn't fully recovered from the seal spell from last night. "Stefan, even if I wanted to, there's no way I could lift the seal. It took both me and Grams to do it and we only held it up for so long, remember?"

Stefan remembered clearly. Bonnie's grief made it rained for days. "But I could still open the door and talk to her?"

The door opened and Damon walked in, hands in his pockets. "Why is it that every time I walk into a room, it gets quiet? Could it be my good looks, or my personal charm?"

"Maybe it's your psychopathic tendencies?" Bonnie suggested making the vampire clutch his heart, mocking her. "Oh Bonnie, you wound me with you hateful words."

Bonnie rolled her eyes at him, turning back to Stefan. "You could still talk to her."

Damon scoffed at Stefan's attempt. "Little brother, why can't you see it? Katherine's not going to talk to you unless you bargain with her."

"Stefan, as much as I hate to admit it, Damon's right. Katherine is not going to tell you anything, not for free anyway."

Stefan sighed and crossed his hands over his chest. "Bonnie, I know. Ok I know, but I have to do something. I have no idea where Elena is, who took her, or if she's not harmed."

Bonnie knew from the minute she walked in here that she was going to fight a losing battle. She hated this, but she would do it for Elena. "Ok what if I told you guys there was another way we could find Elena?"

"I'd say why didn't you tell us sooner?" Damon said smirking.

The green-eyed witch glared at him and his snide comment. "I can do a locater spell but I'll need Jeremy. He shares blood ties to her. It'll make it easier for me to find her."

"I'll call Jeremy to meet us." He said stepping out of the room, leaving Bonnie and Damon alone. "You look tired. Did you sleep well?"

Damon may be an ass but he was right, she felt and looked tired. "I didn't but that's nothing new. Anyway, I'm going to need some things Damon."

"Ask and you shall receive."

"I'm going to need two white candles and a map of the country, preferably one that lists small cities and towns as well. For some reason, I don't think whoever kidnapped her took her to a place where there's a lot of people."

Damon nodded and left, leaving Bonnie in the room by herself. She breathed in and out, trying to calm herself down. She had never attempted the spell before but she had confidence in herself and her powers. She had to; it was the only thing that was going to save Elena.


"How does this work?" Jeremy asked Bonnie. When Stefan said they needed his help in order to find Elena, he quickly jumped on board. Thanks to Damon, Bonnie had everything she needed in order to perform the spell. The brothers watched as Bonnie lit the candles with a wave of her hand. "You and Elena have a blood tie. I'll use your blood for find her."

"Jeremy, I need you to cut your hand and drip the blood onto the map on Mystic Falls."

Jeremy nodded and did what she asked. Everybody observed as the droplets of blood landed on the tiny dot that was Mystic Falls. Bonnie closed her eyes needing concentration. The gradual hum of power beneath her skin flowed out and guided her to where Elena was. Once she felt it retreat, she let go, breaking her connection.

Opening her eyes, she watched the trail of blood end at a place called Reidsville. "She's there."

"Reidsville? But that's 300 miles away! Can't you get an exact location?"

"I'm sorry but that's as close as I can get."

Damon snorted, "Typical witches. You ask them to do something for them and you only get a partial job."

The group glared at him for being so callous to the person that was helping them. "Typical vampires, not grateful for the help we witches give you." Bonnie shot back.

Damon chuckled glad she could still verbally spar with him. "Ok question is, how do we find where in Reidsville she is?"

Jeremy thought for a moment. "Hey they're bound to use somewhere that isolated, right? I could get an aerial view on my Google earth. Find a place that's not surrounded by other houses or any other buildings."

"Prefect, Jeremy. Call me when you find something." Stefan moved to leave.

Jeremy shook his head, "No, you guys I'm going with you."

Damon scoffed. "Please, I don't think so."

Bonnie felt weak and light-headed. She was starting to lose her balance when Damon snaked a hand around her waist. "You ok?"

She nodded but her appearance told him otherwise. "I know it's difficult for you Gilberts to understand what stay here means, but you're going to do exactly what that means. Stefan and I can handle this."

He removed his hand from Bonnie's waist, steading her on her feet. Stefan and Jeremy watched the entire display with different expressions. "Jeremy, watch out for Bonnie. She's tired and needs rest. Can you do that for us?" The teen nodded, hating that he was being out on the sidelines but loving that Bonnie was there with him.

Damon watched as Bonnie settled herself into a chair, trying to regain her balance. "Hey witch, thanks." He said before leaving out the door with Stefan. Stefan looked at him with an odd look on his face. "Don't even start little brother."

Stefan chuckled to himself despite their current situation. "I wasn't going to say anything, big brother."


Damon steered his Camaro down a highway. Usually it would take a human three hours to get to Reidsville. For Damon and his awesome driving skills, it was going to take him only an hour and a half, maybe even less. Stefan was checking out the weapons Alaric had gave them the night before. "Who knew we would to use these twice in one day?" Damon joked.

"It seems like something is always happening in Mystic Falls. It's like a breeding ground for the supernatural."

"You're telling me."

Stefan wanted to ask Damon something that had been on his mind for a while. "Brother, do you have feelings for Bonnie?"

Damon stiffened at the topic. "The elephant in the room lets out a mighty roar."

"It doesn't have to be an elephant if we talked about it."

Damon snorted, "There's nothing to talk about."

"Sure there is, there's plenty to talk about. Just get it out already. It better if you talk about it. I happen to like road trip bonding."

"Yeah well it's a cliché and it makes me itch."

"Damon, just come out with it already."

"Fine, Stefan. WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY? You want me to say that I have feelings for her, that I feel guilty and angry for what I did to her? That I saw what happened to her on that night? Or that I might want a relationship with them but she'll never probably forgive me? Is that what you want me to say?"

Stefan was taken aback by the honesty of his words. He didn't think his brother's feelings for Bonnie went that deep. "Damon, why haven't you told her how you feel?"

"Are you stupid or dumb little brother? If I tell her how I felt about her, she'd probably kill me on the spot. Besides, I don't think Bonnie can ever forgive my actions."

"You're wrong Damon. Bonnie just needs time, she needs to heal."

Damon scoffed at Stefan's words. "Always the optimist, Stefan."

"And you are as pessimistic as always."

Damon smiled; he loved when people gave him compliments. "Why thank you, dear brother."


Jeremy had taken Bonnie back to his house as soon as Damon and Stefan left. Once she was resting in his bed, Jeremy took the time to look up the aerial map of Reidsville. "Bonnie, I found something. It's a secluded house. There's nothing around it for miles."

"Send it to Stefan." Bonnie said moving herself in to a sitting position.

Jeremy did as she requested. Once he was done, he carelessly tossed the phone on his desk. He made his way to the bed and sat down facing Bonnie. "I hate sitting on the sidelines. It the waiting that's killing me."

Bonnie put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry ok. Stefan and Damon are going to rescue Elena. I'm sure of it."

"How do you know that? We have no idea who took her and if she's ok."

Bonnie hated to see Jeremy so crest-fallen. She had an idea. Getting up she made her way to the bathroom that Jeremy and Elena share and grabbed the hairbrush Elena uses. She then rummaged through her backpack to find the unused white candle from earlier and a pen and paper. She quickly wrote a short message and then crumbled the paper and the hair into a ball. "I might be able to give Elena a message."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, seriously."

Bonnie closed her eyes and with her magic, lit the candle. Silently chanting, Bonnie felt the familiar tingle in her body signaling the use of her power rising. Jeremy watched in wonder as the paper ball rose into the air and suddenly incinerated. He waited for the ash remains to rain from her hand but none came.

A gust of wind blew the candle flame out and Bonnie opened her eyes. "It's done." Jeremy sighed grateful for Bonnie's help. He turned to thank her but he watched as her normally bright green eyes clouded over, giving her a glazed look. "Bonnie?" She didn't reply still focused on nothing. Without warning, her green eyes closed and she fell back onto the bed, unconscious.

"Bonnie!" The teen cried. He shook her, trying desperately to awaken her but to no avail. He checked her pulse and sure enough her heart was beating, not as rapidly as his was, but enough to tell him she was still alive. He smoothed out the brown curls that were in her face and caressed her cheek. She was so much beautiful asleep. The teen wanted so badly to steal a kiss but was halted by her whisper of a name he so desperately did not want to hear.

Damon, she unconsciously whispered. Damon…please… stop. Those three words sent the teen into a fury. He had his questions about how Bonnie ended up pregnant by Damon. He knew Bonnie despised the vampire so he knew that they weren't at any time together. And Bonnie wasn't the kind of girl to do one-night stands. It only left one possible explanation: he forced her.

The brown-haired teen fisted his hands in anger. How dare Damon do something as ugly to someone as pure as Bonnie? He had to ask Bonnie, to make sure he was right in his assumption. If he was, who knows what he'd do to Damon.


With his capabilities of multi-tasking, Damon reached into a bag in the backseat and pulled out a blood bag. He ripped out the seal and started to drink it from it. It didn't compare to drinking from the tap but it'll do. He noticed Stefan staring at the bag and decided to taunt him. "If you want some, little brother, all you had to do was ask."

Stefan took the bag from him and started drinking it which surprised Damon. "Since when have you started back on human blood? Does Elena know?"

Stefan smirked at his older brother. "Of course she knows. I've been drinking from her."

"How romantic. You know I miss the good old days. You know the days where we were the big bag things that crept in the night. We went pillaging and maiming for the fun of it, the thrill of the kill, and the chaotic bloodlust. You were more ruthless than I was, since you were the one that helped turn me into what I am now. What happened to that guy?"

"He found something to live for. And even though you try do deny it, you have as well."

Maybe Stefan was right. Maybe Bonnie is like what Elena is to Stefan, minus the whole lookalike thing. The question was, was he the Stefan to her Elena, the Romeo to her Juliet?


Jeremy handed Bonnie a glass of water. She had woken up and was a little disoriented. "Thanks." She said before drinking the entire cup. She knew that her dizziness had gotten worse. She came to the conclusion that she was fainting more because she was using her magic more often than she was before. "Are you okay?" He asked sitting next to her. She tried to smile but it didn't reach her eyes. "I'm okay, just a little tired. I'll be okay once I get more rest."

Jeremy knew her long enough to know when she was lying. "Bonnie, when I'm tired I take a nap. But you were unconscious for three hours!"

Bonnie looked away, aware that he was right. "Jer, you're correct. I think Stefan and Damon have figured it out already. I think my pregnancy is affecting my magic. I'm assuming that it is a backlash. Pretty soon, I don't think that my body can handle any more spells. When that happens, I going to be expendable and when something happens to Elena or someone, I won't be able to help them. I'm not immortal Jer and this backlash or whatever it is, reminds me of that."

"Speaking of your pregnancy, you and Damon?"

Bonnie sighed, running a hand though her hair. "There is no Damon and me."

"Were you two together and broke up?"

Bonnie felt uncomfortable with where the subject was heading. "We've never been together."

"I heard you in your sleep Bonnie. What did Damon do to you? Did he force you?"

The young witch could not respond but that was all Jeremy needed to know. "That bastard, he forced you! I'll-"

Bonnie cut him off, "Can we please not talk about this? Also can you not tell anyone else about me fainting? I don't want them to know, because they'll worry and watch my every move."

Jeremy nodded agreeing to keep her condition a secret but Damon was still going to pay for what he did to Bonnie. "How are you holding up with everything?"

"It's hard but I'm glad you, Elena, and Caroline know what I am. My dad he's barely even home and when he is, he doesn't want to know about witchcraft. The only person who helped mentor me is gone and now I'm a little lost."

Jeremy's hug took her by surprised. She stiffen at first but she relaxed into it. "I know how great lost it. It's not easy especially if it's a loved one. I'm here for you Bonnie."


Caroline had an unusual day today. First Tyler tried to confront her about last night then he tried to attack her. Tired, she opened the door to her house and walked in. She was greeted with an empty house and a certain wrongness she couldn't quite put her finger on. As she looked further into the house, the stronger the feelings got until it washed over her like a tidal wave.

She entered the living room when she was cornered by Tyler. "I know Caroline. I know what you are. It was so easy to figure out when I saw your unnatural strength. You're a werewolf, just like me."

Caroline knew this was a bad time but she had to laugh, he was just so far off. She stopped when she saw Tyler get angry. He abruptly pushed her into the living room wall. The monster in her roared against being manhandled especially by someone she could take down. She snarled and felt her fangs and veins protrude. The young vampire grabbed the werewolf by the neck and slammed him against the wall across from them.

"What are you?" he asked terrified. She growled and threw him across the room. The fearful look he was giving her made her calm down. Her vampiric features faded as she breathed in and out. Damon was going to kill her once he found out about Tyler.

"I'm a vampire." The way she sounded so casually freaked Tyler out even more. "How can you be a vampire?" He asked her, his voice trembling.

She scoffed. "How can you be a werewolf?"

He got up and slowly came closer to her, dodging the question. "Who else is like you?"

"Just me. It's a really long story meant for another time. How many other werewolves are out there?"

"Just my Uncle Mason and I but he left town."

Caroline sighed. "Look Tyler no one else can know about me or you. My mom is the sheriff and your mom is the mayor. They will freak if they found out."

Tyler understood what Caroline was saying. They were stuff of legends. If anyone found out that they exist, who knows what they would do to them. "I promise besides I have no one else to tell." He ran his hand through his hair. "I'm sorry about earlier. It's just that the only person I had to ask about this stuff left town. Now I'm going to turn on the next moon and nothing I can do will change that. I'm scared Caroline."

Caroline felt really about lying to him but this is what she had to do. She hugged him tightly letting him know she was there for him. Tyler relished in the hug. If he had to go through with the change, at least he had Caroline to confide in.


It was a while before they heard footsteps of someone coming up the stairway. Bonnie and Jeremy both went to see who it was. Sure enough it was Elena meeting them at the top of the staircase. Bonnie ran into Elena hugging her fiercely. "Elena, I'm so glad you're okay!"

Elena hugged back, missing her friend terribly. "Thanks to you, Bon. I was going to lose hope until I got your note." Both girls started to cry which made Jeremy start to tear up. It seemed like eternity passed before Bonnie eventually let go of the brunette.

Jeremy took his cue and hugged his sister relieved that she came back unharmed. Elena was grateful she had people like Bonnie and Jeremy in her life, people who loved her and vice versa.

Bonnie wanted to give them space. They needed to spend time with each other. Bonnie slowly made her way down the stairs. She was almost to the door when Elena stopped her. "Bonnie, you leaving already?" the brunette asked slightly disappointed that she wasn't staying longer.

"Yeah, I'm tired from today's activities. I'll see you tomorrow okay?"

Elena nodded, "Okay."

Bonnie smiled and walked out the front door, shutting it behind her. The wind was picking up before she realized she left her car at school. Mentally reprimanding her, she turned to knock on the door when she heard a whistle.

"Care for a ride, Ms. Bennett?"

Bonnie didn't even have to look up to know Damon was standing behind her. "You won't leave me alone until I say yes right?"

"Oh you know me so well."

Bonnie sighed but followed him to the Camaro nonetheless.


The ride to her house was quiet. Both of them were lost inside of their thoughts. Bonnie didn't even realize that Damon had pulled up into her driveway and had shut off the engine. "Thank you for finding Elena. I don't know what I would've done without her."

"About what you said last night, I hesitated only because I don't know how to respond to that. I still don't. I do know that you're tying and I should acknowledge that."

Damon didn't respond. Bonnie waited for a reply but it never came. Furious, she hastily got out of the car and walked up to the porch. She was about to open the door but was stopped by Damon's hand.

She turned towards him, ready to yell every obscenities in her arsenal but he stopped her. He roughly grabbed her by the waist and pushed her against the door. Damon lowered his lips to hers, kissing her passionately but gently.

The young witch was stunned by the intimate gesture. The vampire released her from the kiss but breathed harshly into her ear. "I want you. I want you both so bad that it hurts. I'll understand if you can't forgive me. Just know Bennett that I never give up."

He sped to his car and quickly drove away leaving the witch stupefied. She opened the door and walked in shutting it behind her.

"Bonnie? Is that you?" Richard Bennett asked.

Bonnie eyes widened. "Dad, it's me. What are you doing here?"

"I have a week off before I have to return to work. What are you doing here so late?"

Bonnie falsely smiled. "Oh I was hanging out with Elena and Caroline."

Richard smiled; thankful that Bonnie had friends to spend time with when he was gone. "That's great but you have school tomorrow."

Bonnie headed up the stairs to her room, her head jumbled. She now had to tell her father that she was pregnant so he wouldn't hear from someone else. Jumping on her bed, she started to cry her eyes out. First Damon and now her father, could her life get any worse? It was Mystic Falls; something was bound to go wrong.


Damon sat in the study drinking another glass of scotch. That did not go the way he planned it. Sure he wanted to kiss her but he wanted to do it slowly, sweetly, passionately not rushed. She probably hated him more now. To Damon, it was okay. He deserved it and more.

Stefan walked into the room and sat down in the red chair and faced Damon. The elder vampire poured a drink for his brother and refilled his own. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Elena?"

"She's at home. She wanted to be with Jeremy and I happily obliged."

"Hmm."

"Listen Damon what Rose told Elena about the curse…."

Damon didn't need reminding. "I know. We'll keep them safe."

"You know the only way we're going to do that is if we work together. Both of the people we care about are in danger. We messed up our relationship by letting Katherine come between us and she drove us apart."

"Did you know I took your advice and went to Bonnie's?"

Stefan was stunned. He wanted to know how it went but judging by the amount of alcohol Damon had, it looked like it didn't go that well. "How did it go?"

Damon chuckled and sipped his scotch. "I kissed her and did a Stefan but she didn't kiss me back. I was expecting it though. This is my punishment, I've wronged a Bennett and this is my penance. Don't worry though, I'll still fight for her whether she wants me to or not."

Stefan hung his head down in shame. "I'm sorry Damon. "

"About what little brother? My thing with Bonnie? Pfft, don't be. It was my doing, so I'll live with the consequences."

The green-eyed vampire gulped his liquor down in one gulp. "For that and being the guy who made you turn 145 years ago."

Damon waved it off by getting up to refill his glass. "Enough Stef. It's late. No need to bring that up again."

"Well I don't think I ever said it out loud. I need to say it and you need to hear it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I did to you. I was selfish and I didn't want to be alone. I guess I just needed my brother."

Stefan got up and hugged his older brother. Damon didn't know how to react at first. Shocking them both, he let his guard down and hugged him back.

Stefan released him, chuckling. "I'm glad we're brothers again."

Damon nodded in agreement. "Thank you Stefan."

"What for?"

"That night in the woods. Thank you for taking care of Bonnie. I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't come when you did."

"Bonnie's become a good friend to me. She's helped us out on numerous occasions."

Damon smirked. He went to go refill his brother's cup when he heard a sound. He looked at Stefan and sure enough he had heard it too. Damon sped towards the fireplace and grabbed a stake that was hidden there.

Rose, the woman from earlier had appeared and held out her hands, signaling that she had no weapons and that she meant no harm. "Look I'm not here to fight. I knew Lexi. She was a good friend like Trevor."

Stefan's undead heard dropped at the mention of his best friend. "You knew Lexi?"

Rose nodded. "Yeah and like Trevor, she's gone. I have no one, nowhere to go."

Damon rolled his icy eyes at this sentimental stuff. "Look life sucks, I know but we can't help you."

Rose slightly chuckled. "I don't need your help but I think you need mine. Sure you killed Elijah but this isn't over."

Stefan slightly moved Damon out the way, "What do you mean it's not over?"

"Like I said, this isn't over. Elena and the Bennett are both in danger. The Originals will come for them both. They have to. They're doing it for him."

Damon's interest in this conversation suddenly peaked at the mention of Bonnie. He blurred and reappeared in front of her, stake in hand. "Who the hell is coming after them?"

"Klaus."

A/N: Ahh I finished another chapter! Omg Jeremy found out about what happened. Man he sure was pissed. Oh and WHAT about that kiss? Bonnie' dad is home, how will he react to the news that his only daughter is pregnant? Oh and the Stefan and Damon scene, how cute! Did you guys see Daddy Issues? The fight scene between Damon and Stefan vs. the werewolves was awesome. Poor Caroline, I cried when she was being tortured. To top it off, I just can't wait for the next episode! I CANT wait to hear your thoughts on the chapter… Reviews are like pictures of half-naked Damon coming out of the shower, they are so awesome!
