HEY GUYS! I'm sorry... my lack of updates is sad... will you ever forgive me? *Shuffles feet* PWEASE? LOL :D I do feel bad, but I'll keep going :P I was in school and had finals and EOC's so I didn't have a whole lot of time for anything! Yeah that's my excuse for the first long block of time I was out, and the second block is because I have had a hectic summer, and wasn't really in the right mood to write Nity and Damon. :( But now I'm back and BETTAH THEN EVAH! So prepare yourselves, for awesomeness! (After I get back the feel of the story) LOLOL XD What really got me into action of writing this story, and my imagination off of all of these other Twilight stories I was coming up with and pursuing, was a review for another story, asking me to please update this one! That took some serious drive to go and do that, so I slapped myself on the butt and yelled to myself to GET ON IT! Here you go, the next chapter of Destiny Gilbert... ENJOY! (4,257)

Stefan POV

I left home fifteen minutes before the School lunch would start, and sat on a table outside to wait for Elena. Elena. The thought of her beauty and kindness brought a goofy smile to my face. I had her; and now I would have to work my ass to keep her. Or keep her safe... whatever the moment asked for, I guess.

And there she is.

"Hi."

"You weren't in class. I was worried." She would be. My little angel worried about me.

"Yeah... I got your messages. Sorry I didn't get back to you... but, I didn't know what to say."

"A simple, 'I didn't kill my brother' text would have sufficed."

"I didn't kill my brother. As much as he... deserved it. He was you and Nity to thank for that." I couldn't because of two reasons. One; He was gone the whole day, and the only time I even got remotely close to making contact with him was through texting Nity. And that leads me to the second reason. Nity; there is something... off. And I'm pretty sure that she would feed me to the lions if I staked Damon.

Their close friendship bothered me in many ways. The girl was practically begging for corruption when she chose to be best freaking friends with him!

"About Nity; as you might know we had a... disagreement a couple days ago." I did not know about this, actually. But, I nodded anyway.

"And she said sorry for it today. Which is," Elena huffed a laugh, "Pretty amazing considering she never apologizes." We stayed silent for a moment as she blinked and thought on that new information. "So what did you want to talk to me about?" She asked, after gathering her bearings.

"Oh. I won't be coming to school anymore. I'm gonna back off and keep my distance. It's the right thing to do." I hoped it was.

"Back off from school? Or me?" Ummm. Uhh. Now I felt bad. She wasn't really supposed to make that connection. I broke eye contact with her, and shifted my stare to the buses.

"Thank you for telling me." Elena stated shortly.

"It's better this way." I attempted to convince her.

"Yep. I got it." Tears built in her beautiful doe eyes. Tears from anger...? Or sadness?

"Your angry; that's good. It'll be easier for you if you hate me."

And I left her then; hopefully not for the last time.

Damon POV

"Okay, this is your last chance."

The little teena- I suppose witch, now- nearly bumped into me and gasped.

I wondered if she could still smell the salt on me. I could still feel the grit; I hadn't had a chance to go home and shower since Desi and I got back.

Ahh. Desi. I had a more enjoyable day then I would care to admit with the Willow.

"I'll scream." And I'd snap your neck! I thought happily.

Apparently Desi isn't Bonnie's biggest fan... although; Destiny made no move to directly anger her. I would steer clear of a Bennet witch as well, but I need that amulet.

"Oh no! Don't do that!" I toyed with her. "Let's stay on point. I want my necklace." COUGH COUGH. MY necklace. Not YOUR necklace, bitch.

"You can't have it." Bonnie spat back, her teeth clenched.

"Well, I can't take it. But you can give it to me." Keep it nice, Damon. Get on her good side! "Look, I'm trying to help you here."

"I don't want your help."

"See, you do want my help; but you don't even know it." My temper is rising, witch. "And you know why little witch? You've stumbled into something you need to stumble out of." I gestured behind me with a jerk of my thumb to emphasize, and attempt to drill the fact into into her prissy, self centered mind.

"Just leave me alone, or I swear I'll-"

"Oooh, no threats." I stood in between her and her car, now pointing my finger pretty much right in her face. "A: You hurt me last time. B: I wish you no harm." Well. Eh. Depends on the situation. The world could go on with one less witchy bitch.

"Believe it or not, Bonnie, I want to protect you." Lowering my voice to a whisper, I leaned closer to the black haired girl. "Let me help you get Emily off your back."

Bonnie's eye widened in shock, with a trace of... fear. Good.

"How do you know about her?" I took this chance to advance further on her.

"I know a lot of things. I know more about this crystal then you do. And I know that she is using it to creep inside of your head." Bonnie the Bitch was now backed up against another car. And... FLIP. There goes my seductive switch. I brushed my hand across the side of her face, and pressed my body close to hers. She looked down. Flop! And it's turned back off again as I began to mock her.

"Ha. See how scared you are? And you should be. I will get that crystal even if I have to wait for Emily to give it to me herself." I sneered. "So! Next time she comes out to play; you tell her, 'that a deal is a deal'." Swinging open the car door for her, I leaned my chin on the top of it.

Destiny's POV

Damon said he had 'stuff to do' so I took this time to shower off and change into some running clothes and go for a jog. About fifteen minutes in, a car approached me and stopped.

"Hey, Nity!" Elena's voice called. I unplugged my head phones and turned to her. A smile that mirrored hers claimed my face. So she had gotten my message from the Mr. Tanner replacement! Good.

"Hey." I was slightly out of breathe considering I had been running, so it came out as almost a sigh.

"Want a lift?" I glanced around for a second, taking in my surroundings a large field of knee high yellow grass covered the ground. Then my eyes sought the inside of the car. Bonnie was driving, and gave me a small wave as acknowledgment.

Should I stay or should I go? If I go there will be trouble... If I stay there will be double... NOOOOO. I could laugh at the lyrics my mind had wandered to.

But I do owe it to Damon to keep in the loop of the witch and her little crystal necklace that he wanted so desperatly.

"Sure."

I hopped in the back and buckled up.

"So, how was school you two?" I asked once we had started moving again.

"Good."

"Fine. But Damon found me after school." Wut. Nuh uh. He could have at least told me what he was doing. I sighed.

"What did he want?" And that's how I got a very detailed, very biased description of what Damon did after he dropped me off at home.

"He is bad news. He really scared me." Bonnie's eyes found mine in the rearview mirror, and held them defiantly.

"You need to stay as far away from Damon as possible. Both of you need to." Elena turned her head so she bossed me around also with that statement.

Ya. I'd be staying as far away as possible. Which of right now, was approximately two centimeters.

"I'm trying! He just keeps- showing up!" Bonnie exclaimed, clearly frustrated.

"I don't want you to be alone. Your both staying home tonight." It was like she new where I had been sleeping the past couple of nights.

My twin went on about making light of the situation, but I was only paying attention to Bonnie. She had taken up staring intently at the Crystal, and twisting and twirling it with curiosity.

Then she abruptly pulled over. Dammit, Bonnie! Didn't she know that Elena was still sensitive to these things? The Witchy Bitch got out of the car, and threw the precious freaking necklace into the field.

Once she got back into the car, my mouth was still agape.

"Are you okay?" Elena asked, as shocked as I was.

"Now I am. All my problems were because of that thing. I can't believe I didn't do that sooner." They went on in the conversation, and started driving again, but all I was going was taking millions of mental pictures of my surroundings. I might just be able to help Damy get his necklace back after all.

They all got out at our house, and I said I had some 'stuff to do'. They let me go without a question, considering Bonnie was still giddy from ridding herself of the necklace. They didn't even notice when I grabbed a flashlight from a drawer in the kitchen.

I took the car and drove back the way we had come, just minutes ago. Parking the car on the side of the road, I sent a text to Damon.

N- Working on getting the necklace now.

D- Really?

N- Yup. May be a while tho...

D- It's k. Thx 4 ur help.

N- Np, bro.

And with that I set off into the field, having only the waning light of the setting sun an the trusty flashlight to guide me.

Fucking dammit. I have been searching for three freaking hours. No necklace. How far could this teenager witch had thrown it?! I give up. Damy can come help me tomorrow if the necklace means this much to him.

N- Not here. False alarm :/

D- Damn

N- Ya. Sorry

D- No worries

But something told me it meant a lot. And something else told me not to inform him that the crystal was lost in this apparently ginormous field. I drove back home in silence, and I realized that I was still in a running sports bra and spandex shorts. Whoops.

I walked into the house, already hearing voices.

"I'm sorry. There; I said it. If you want the ugly ass necklace then fine. Keep it, it's yours." Wow. I'm surprised at how utterly NOT sorry that apologiy sounded.

"Would you hate me if I said I threw it away?" No! No, of course not! It gives me the perfect opportunity to steal it! I wanted to hug her, which was totally out of character in my regards to Bonnie the B.

"You threw it away?!" Well... Caroline isn't as psyched as I am about this new turn of events but really; who cares?

"I know it sounds crazy but it was giving me nightmares." Bonnie said, rushed, as I slowly made my way upstairs to get changed.

Finally at the top of the stairs, I smiled and skipped to my room.

"Why are you such a little liar Bonnie?" Was the last thing I heard before I shut my door to get dressed.

...

YUS! I was squeaky clean, and dressed for bed. And man, was I tired. Beach + Running + Searching for stupid necklace ALL DAY = worn out Destiny.

Literally all I wanted to do was go lie down in bed and sleep, or wait for Damy to come and then sleep.

Well apparently fate wasn't cool with either of those spectacular options because, it decided to throw me a nasty curve ball.

The lights were out and it was cold. What the heck? Doors were slammed.

Screams ecoed off the walls as I snagged a stake and a knife from under my bed. Shit shit shit shit shit!

With the knife gripped in one hand, and the stake in the other I came down the hall to Elena's room where all the ruckus was coming from.

I flung open the door to see candles on the floor and saw my sister and Caroline hitting the door to the bathroom, and screaming Bonnie's name.

"AHHHH OHMYGOD!" Oh sheee-iiit.

"Move!" I shouted at the two girls and they complied, stopping their rapid and useless beating on the door.

I kicked at it, and felt it budge. I kicked again and the door flew open with a BANG. I was prepared to through my knife at the form in front of me, but figured out it was Bonnie.

"What the actual fuck?" Bonnie? What is going on? The witch was holding her face in her hands, standing in the light of the bathroom.

"Bonnie?!" Both girls tried to enter but I blocked the door way.

Something was off.

This wasn't the OCD 'off' where something wasn't perfect or straight, this was freaking 'willow sixth sense tingling' kind of off.

"Bonnie!? What happened? Are you okay?"

"Nity- What the hell? Why do you have a knife and pointy wood?" Caroline asked frantically.

"Destiny! Let us through!"

"Uhh. First thing I could grab. Just wai-" I tried to tell them to hang back for a second when Bonnie spoke.

"I'm fine." What? Well hun, sorry to inform you; but you totally look anything but fine.

"Unbelievable. You were totally faking it." Caroline didn't see the difference in 'Bonnie's' eyes.

"Caroline, c'mon." That was Elena talking, but I wasn't really here right now, if you know what I mean. All of my energy was focused on 'Bonnie'. But I did take a second when they started speaking again to glance in the mirror, curious as to the color of my eyes.

Orange.

Not yellow or hazel, not even red. Nope. Orange. I guess this was my fight color. I wonder if that's what my opponent sees at the fighting classes when were about to brawl.

I looked to the right a little bit at the mirror and almost screamed. Instead of our curly headed Bonnie standing in front of me was a girl with dark skin and some old looking clothes on, and a head thing that covered her dark hair.

Caroline said something and left the room.

This Bonnie-or-who-knows-who tried to get by me, but I stopped her. Her eyes scanned me, and widened when they reached mine.

Willow she murmured, almost to quiet for me to hear.

"Damn right. Emily." I spat as it clicked in my brain.

"Nit- wha.. Emily?" Elena whispered the last word.

"I must go." Bonnie/Emily said, rather formally. Still blocking Elena's entrance and Emily/Bonnie's exit, I spoke.

"Elena, go to your room." I would handle this... somehow. Someway which included Elena being safe and in her room.

"What?! No!" Oh my gaaawwddd. I would not deal with this right now. I turned to my sister, with eyes that were dangerously wide.

"Elena." I growled. Of course this was enough time for a swish to sound behind me, and for Emily to take that moment to flee.

"Hey! Bonnie!? Are you leaving? Because if your going, I'm going." Caroline rattled off to Bonnie's body as it ran down the stairs, Elena and I chasing after her.

"You guys can't leave!"

"Oh yes I can! I've had enough freaky voo-doo stuff for one night!"

"Thank you for having me... I'm off to where it all began." And then Bonnie was out the door. SHIIIIIT.

"Bonnie! Bonnie...? EMILY?" As it clicked in her head, Elena shouted into the night after Bonnie who was already down the road.

Bonnie/Emily turned her head for a moment and shouted, "I won't let him have it!" But I was already sprinting after her, in all of my tiny pajama shorts and thin cotton shirt glory. The phone I had stashed in the top of my bra was jiggling in it's place and I pulled it out to hold it while I ran.

When I made it to the turn of the street, I glanced back at the house to see Elena pacing and holding a phone to her ear, and Caroline storming off in a different direction.

I kept going, but dialed Damy.

"Hola. What's up, Desi?"

"Damon! Holy barnacles! Emily freaking possessed Bonnie!" I rushed out when I heard his silky voice.

"Oh shit! Wait- are you running?" He must have heard my heavy breathing and rapid footsteps.

"Hell yes! I'm freaking chasing after her!"

"Shit! Where is she going?" How the fart would I know? HMMMMM? Oh- wait! Yes!

"She said she was going back to where it all began!" I panted. Sprinting and talking was not a good idea; especailly since I just lost Emily around all of two seconds ago.

"Dammit! I lost her!" But I got no response.

"Damon? Damon!" I shouted at the phone. But it was no use. He had hung up and I was panicking.

I just kept running to the only landmark I knew of. Fell's church.

When I go running in the woods, I normally stop here for a rest break. The trees and soft wind calm me to the point where I can actually take a nap here.

But this was different. Tense. I ran into the small clearing where the old place was crumbled, to see Damon and Bonnie/Emily. I noticed that she had the damn crystal in her hand.

"I won't let you do it." Emily stated. I made my way cautiously to Damon, and grabbed his hand.

"We made a deal."

"Things are different now. I need to protect my family." I just realized something. I was immune to the supernatural. Okay, so my fellow Willow had said that, but I hadn't realized the extent to that ability. That's why I could kick down the door when Elena couldn't open it.

And it's why I can protect Damy against the Bitch right now.

I made a protective stance in front on Damon.

Don't question it. I told him in his mind. He didn't respond to me, but he didn't move me or himself either.

"I protected your family. You owe me."

"I know... and I'm sorry."

"It's going to have to be a lot more than that." Damy spat, and he blurred foreword. No! Emily thrust he hand out, and Damon went flying into a tree. A branch now pokes out of his ribs, right under the heart.

This 'Emily' was going to pay. By burning in fiery hell for the rest of eternity. Well maybe I couldn't actually do that, but I could at least rid Bonnie of Emily's soul or something. Stefan showed up and helped me get Damon down. I might be a 'Superior Supernatural' but I still wasn't strong enough to lift Damon up.

"Hello Stefan." Emily acknowledged. I rounded on her. Now she had Bonnie's body in the middle of a circle, and held a tall stick in her hand.

"Hello Emily." Stefan called.

"These people don't deserve this. They should never have to know such evil."

"What do you mean 'evil'?"

"Emily... I swear to god I'll make you regret this." Damon sounded the complete opposite of scary as he got back onto his feet, which I helped him do.

"I won't let you unleash them into this world." Bonnie's voice sounded cold, it was unnerving.

"Them?" I asked, supporting half of Damon. I knew that he was getting Katherine out, but I had no recolecction of him mentioning more vamps in the tomb.

"What part of the story did you leave out, Damon?" Stefan asked his brother.

"Doesn't matter..."

"Emily. Tell me what you did." Stefan demanded in a confrontational manner that told me that he meant business.

"To save her; I had to save them."

"You saved everyone in the church?"

"With one comes all."

"I don't care about that. I just want Katherine." Damy breathed.

"I don't know why I should believe a single word that comes out of your mouth. This isn't about love, is it? This is about revenge." What was Stefan going on about? Revenge?

Damon preceded to say something about them being mutual, but I was paying attention to Emily. She was doing something with the stick.

"Damon you can't do this!"

"WHY NOT?!" Damon shoved Stefan and me away from him. "They killed twenty seven people! And they called it a war battle! They deserve whatever they get!" My best friend spat.

"Twenty seven vampires Damon! They were Vampires! You can't just bring them back!"

"This town deserves it."

"Your blaming innocent people for what happened one hundred and forty five years ago!"

"There is NOTHING innocent about these people! And don't think for a second it won't happen again! They already know too much, and they'll burn your little granddaughter when they find out!" He pointed his finger at Bonnie. "Trust me." Damon breathed angrily.

"Things are different now." Emily spoke up.

"Don't do this." Damon seemed drained.

"I can't free them." Emily paused. "Incendia!" The circle star thing she had been drawing with the stick burst into flames that reached up to her hips, and went as low as Bonnie's ankle.

Emily began taking the crystal off, and I kicked into action. My legs drove me foreword, and my knees bent to throw me into the air. The heat that should have been from the huge flames was non-existent. I caught the necklace mid-air, and landed with it safely in my hands. YES! I felt great about myself until the talisman shattered into a million pieces, gashing me along my hand, arm and stomach.

"BONNIE!" Elena called as she ran into the clearing. Little late, don't you think, Lena?

Then that heatless flame died out at a rapid pace, and within seconds Bonnie stood there with a disoriented expression on her face.

I barely had time to blink before Damy growled loudly and lunged at Bonnie, sinking his now visible fangs into her neck.

My eyes widened as Stefan pulled Damon off of Bonnie, and they all approached Bonnie's form cautiously.

My eyes flickered from Damy to Bonnie, then to the chain with no crystal in my hands, and finally to the miniscule amount of blood soaking through my night shirt.

It passed by in a blurr when Stefan fed Bonnie his blood to revive her, and she woke up. All I know is how to move my feet.

And that I did. They brought me to stand, and sit next to my best friend.

I looked at him, and his expression saddened me; his eyes looked lost, his mouth slightly open in confusion, and his eyebrows set into a broken state.

I moved his head to lean on my shoulder, and he didn't complain. Damy just shut his eyes and left his weight on me. And I could handle this; I would. I needed to be strong while he was weak. I rubbed his back, and drew soothing circles on the back of his hand.

"She never compelled me. I knew what was happening every step of the way."

"I didn't doubt you for a minute." I laid down, and pulled him down next to me. I let his head re-rest itself on my shoulder, and didn't comment on the tears that were finding their way into into his steel eyes.

I heard Stefan come up, and glared at him. Go away! I wanted to shout. Didn't he see the state his brother was in?

"I'll leave now." Damy murmured, staring at Stefan. No. He can't just up and leave! I would be so lost without my best friend.

I'll follow him; that's what I'll do. Wherever he goes, I go. Stefan moved on and left, but I stayed. Oh; I stayed. All night long, I lay with him. I didn't allow myself to fall asleep in both fear of him leaving, and the want to be awake to comfort him even when he fell asleep.
