Hey all! Thank you for the comments, I really, really appreciate them! This one is short, but I think you will like it...A LOT! One thing I noticed is that my breaks don't transfer here, so I have to put them in manually...you will notice below (S means scene break). Thanks for the comments and please leave more.

Damon tossed and turned in the guest room bed that he was regulated to. It was something weird about being in the Bennett house. It was a simple home, not at all like the Salvatore boarding house, and being there with Bonnie made him feel…kind of domesticated and it was driving him crazy. He wasn't sure why he said those things to Bonnie earlier that night and the sexy stuff…where did THAT come from? He had to admit though, ever since Bonnie Bennett turned into a vampire, she had become much more appealing…if not only for a roll in the hay. He wasn't quite sure where the feelings are coming from…well…he knew where they were coming from (down below), but Bonnie Bennett? Not even an option.
Damon sat up in bed and stood up. There was another reason why he couldn't sleep and her name was Katherine. She was back in town…she was never in the tomb and not once had she come to him to let him know that she was free. "That Bitch!" he growled as he walked out of the room.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Damon found himself standing in front of the door to the tomb. He touched the door that had yet to be opened by anyone…but was there any reason now to open it? Katherine was walking around free and that had been the only reason why he wanted the tomb opened.
"I feel soo sorry for them", a voice cooed from behind him.
Damon stiffened as he refused to turn around, "I heard you were back in town", he replied as arms snaked around him.
"Yes, but not for long…only a couple of days…"
"When did you show up?"
"I don't know it all runs together", Katherine shrugged, "but you look good…tasty", she smirked licking her lips.
Damon turned around to face Katherine, "Still a liar…so tell me Katherine, why are you not behind this door…how did you get out or were you ever inside?"
"I wasn't…one of the guards was nice enough to let me out".
"Of course…and for some reason instead of coming to me, seeing how things turned out after I was fed your blood, you left me…the person that you supposedly loved!"
"Oh Damon…I had to go…your father was the one who helped to capture me…how could I have stayed?"
"I would have went with you!" Damon exploded, "I loved you!"
"Loved me?" Katherine asked raising an eyebrow, "and you don't love me anymore?"
"Why would I?" Damon answered.
"Damon…", Katherine pouted, "we meant soo much to each other…see…I saved you, if I hadn't fed you my blood, you would be dead right now".
Damon chuckled, "Wow…amazing", he said walking away from her.
"Damon don't turn away from me", Katherine said rushing over and pushing him over to the door, "you really shouldn't be this way…I came back for you".
Damon pushed Katherine off of him sending her flying into a wall, "You came back for me…really…well explain why you were the one in the middle of the road when the car Bonnie Bennett was in crashed".
Katherine rolled her eyes as she rose from the floor. She walked over to Damon, looking at him intensely and then her eyes widened, "You did it, didn't you?"
"Did what?"
"You turned her".
"It didn't happen like that…"
"What a fabulous idea…I mean, it's almost ingenious…you turned the witch into a vampire and now, you have her under your thumb…what a great idea Damon!" Katherine grinned as she rushed over and kissed him passionately, "I didn't know you had it in you…this is perfect…we have her right where we want her".
"You stay away from Bonnie", Damon warned.
Katherine raised an eyebrow and backed up, "Stay away from Bonnie…you and the Bennett witch?"
"It's not like that", Damon sighed.
"Oh it's not?" Katherine folded her arms and narrowed her eyes, "I find that hard to believe".
"I don't care what you believe…you lost that right when you walked all over this earth not once letting me know that you were not in that tomb…I don't care what you think or what you want anymore Katherine, you may as well be dead to me!" Damon barked.
Katherine smiled, "Ok…then kill me then", she replied picking up a stick, "since you obviously have found a new object of affection".
"Leave town…now", Damon growled.
"I' m not leaving…stake me Damon…since you're so angry…stake me", Katherine teased him handing him the stick.
Damon looked down at the stick in his hand and then at Katherine.
"You're not worth it", he stated before jumping out of the hole.
"You will regret not killing me!" Katherine called after him, "I will ruin you and your brother".
"Do your worst!" Damon called over his shoulder after he disappeared into the woods.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
When Damon walked into Bonnie's house, he could hear her screaming upstairs. He ran up the stairs to find her in her room alone thrashing around with her eyes open. "Bonnie!" he said grabbed her, "wake up!"
She continued to fight, "No…Grams…no…don't!"
"Bonnie!"
Shouting her name again made her snap out of her nightmare, "Damon", she replied confused.
"I'm here…it was a nightmare".
"It wasn't a nightmare…it was real".
"What happened?"
"Grams and I…we were chanting in front of the tomb door…I don't know, it was weird…and then Grams just disappeared".
"It's ok…you are not opening the tomb…so that won't happen".
"But it was real Damon…part of my powers is that I can see things before they happen".
"But that's something that won't come true…Katherine is not in the tomb, no one wants the tomb open anymore".
"But the nightmare…"
"Was just that", Damon replied, "trust me on this".
Bonnie looked at Damon, "I can trust you…can't I?"
"Haven't I shown you that?"
"You have", Bonnie nodded, "you've helped me a lot".
"Why thank you…that's almost sounds like a thank you".
"It was…thank you for helping me, Damon".
Damon touched Bonnie's face pushing a strand of hair out of her eyes. Even though she was a vamp like Katherine, there was still something so vulnerable about her…something pure…and it made him believe that things could be different. He cupped her cheek as he brought her face closer to his. He wasn't sure what was making him draw her closer; but he couldn't stop himself. He could see her closing her eyes as they moved closer to each other and then their lips met. He wasn't sure want to think about the kiss, but it was definitely different…there was something about kissing Bonnie that made him think about other possibilities. He wasn't aware that the kiss had ended until Bonnie spoke, "Wow", she whispered, "what was that?"
"Something to give you new nightmares", he smirked standing up, "enjoy".
"Right", Bonnie smirked, "good night Damon".
"Good night Bonnie", he stated walking towards the door and closing it behind him.
As Damon walked down the steps, he touched his lips, "Well that was different".
