I do not own anything in regards to the Vampire Diaries

Chapter 10

It had been over a month since Bonnie had been at Damon's beck and call, dropping everything to attend to his wants and needs. If she had to describe her "relationship" with Damon, Bonnie would say it was some freaky from of companionship. She accompanied him on outings such as shopping, whether for clothes or cars, they dined together, went to sporting events…which came as a surprise because Bonnie never pictured Damon as a sports fan. He even took her to the Kentucky Derby and dressed her in the most outlandish attire. She thought that Damon had lost his mind especially when he demanded she wear the most atrocious hat that she had ever seen. When they got there, her jaw dropped when she saw that there were other women dressed just like herself…she fit right in…it blew her young mind…she had never seen anything like it. Damon was opening up a whole new world to her.

But, what was confusing Bonnie the most was the fact that Damon had yet to touch her or demand sex from her. Every now and then he would corner her, backing her against the wall and kiss her senseless. He would invade her personal space and come as close as possible to her without touching any part of her body, and gaze intently into her eyes, pinning her where she stood with his heated penetrating icy blue eyes. And, he would stand there in front of her, blocking out everything around her, inhaling her scent and when her heart beat would accelerated, he'd walk away. Bonnie knew his game…he was trying to seduce her. Bonnie would go home every night with her body quivering with need and desire and then take a cold shower to try to alleviate the tension that Damon had aroused within her body.

Now, it was getting really difficult to even be in the same room as him. Her body hummed every time he was near. But, she refused to give in to him because she wasn't fooled, no matter the effect he was having on her traitorous body, she knew who she was dealing with… an unstable, temperamental homicidal vampire. She was always waiting for him to flip the script and turn on her in an instant. After that night with Julie Carmichael, scary Damon was never far from her mind. And, Bonnie was scared of Damon when he showed his evil, dark side; she couldn't help it. Her mind would always go back to the night he attacked her, viciously biting into her neck…trying to kill her.

Damon came to pick Bonnie up from school. He waited against his car for her to come out. His eyes narrowed when he spotted her talking to Tyler. He didn't want Bonnie talking to Tyler anymore because he wanted to sever all ties to Mason Lockwood, and that included Tyler. When they got to the boarding house, Damon informed her that he no longer wanted her to see Tyler. At first, Bonnie laughed because she thought he was joking. She had known Tyler all of her life; they had grown up together. She quickly realized that Damon was serious and when she told him no that she would not stop seeing Tyler, his intense blue eyes became huge and crazed looking as he got in her face and threatened to rip out Tyler's heart if he caught her so much as looking in his direction. Without warning, Damon suddenly grabbed her arms, shoving her against the wall, hurting her. Bonnie swallowed hard as tears pricked her eyes.

"Damon let me go, you're hurting me." She tried to keep her heart beat steady and not show fear.

Damon knew he was hurting her and there was a sick part of him deep down inside that liked towering over the most powerful Bennett witch in history and having complete control over her. He tightened his hold, and Bonnie gasped in pain. Bonnie's powers shot out of her sending Damon flying across the room. He crashed hard into the wall, sliding down to the floor.

Bonnie slowly walked towards Damon with her tiny hands fisted and her green eyes hard. "Don't you ever put your fucking hands on me again." Bonnie stood over Damon's prone body. In an instant he was rushing at her in vampiric speed with his hand wrapped around her slender throat pushing her against the wall.

"Didn't I tell you what would happen if you used your power against me?" He gritted through his teeth, slightly disoriented.

Bonnie's furious green eyes narrowed, she released her powers again on him with a crippling aneurysm. Damon fell to the floor clutching his head in agony.

"S-S-Stop… Bon-nnnie!" he screamed in pain. Bonnie stood over him and waited. She had never made him suffer this long before, but she had to punish him for what he did to her.

Elena and Stefan walked into the boarding house and stopped cold when they saw the scene in the living room. Elena screamed, rushing to Bonnie as Stefan ran to his brother who was couched down on the floor in debilitating pain.

"Bonnie…what are you doing…you're killing him!" Elena screamed at her in fear. She grabbed Bonnie's arms, trying to get her attention, and Bonnie winced in pain causing her to break the hold she had on Damon.

Damon fell back on the floor in relief. He took a couple of deep breaths that he really didn't need and with every breath that he took in and then released he felt surprisingly better. He got up to his feet and stared at Bonnie; his glacial blue eyes dangerously cold.

"Witch…you are going to pay for that." His voice was chilling.

An icy chill ran down Bonnie's spine as she watched him leave the room. Elena and Stefan looked at her, demanding to know what happened to make her hurt Damon. But, Bonnie tuned them out. She was too focused on the fact that she now had blood on her hands because she knew without a doubt that Damon was going to go out and kill an innocent person and there wasn't a damn thing she could do about it.

Bonnie woke up the next morning to find her arms bruised and discolored; she could even see the imprint of Damon's hands on both arms. She ran a shaky hand through her hair. Her heart was heavy and troubled. She didn't sleep much because her mind kept thinking the worst. But, maybe she was wrong, and Damon wouldn't do what he threatened. This was all a game to Damon; maybe he was just messing with her mind and trying to get her to think the worst and not follow through on his threat. Bonnie took a deep breath hoping that this was the case.

After getting out of the shower, Bonnie went to her closet and put on a long sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans. She really didn't feel like going to school, but she had no choice. She sighed as she gathered her things and headed out the door. Bonnie pulled up in the school parking lot. She sat there for a minute preparing herself for the onslaught of questions that she was sure to get from Stefan and Elena. She didn't want to talk about Damon and the mess he had pulled her into. She had vowed not to let Damon take over her life, but somehow he had managed to do it anyway without her even realizing it.

Bonnie got out of her car and walked towards the school. There was a vibe in the air. Students were huddled in groups throughout the campus, everyone talking in hushed whispers, some even crying. Bonnie saw Caroline and walked up to her. Caroline's back was turned to Bonnie so she didn't see that her friend was crying until she stood beside her.

"Hey, hey Caroline what's wrong?" Bonnie asked worriedly, rubbing Caroline's back.

Caroline sniffled, looking at Bonnie with wide tearful red rimmed eyes. "Oh my god…Bonnie, you didn't hear." Bonnie shook her head no, fear ceasing her heart. "Julie Carmichael was found dead in her house this morning. Her father came home from work and found her laying at the bottom of the stairs…her neck had been broken."

Bonnie heard this roaring sound in her ears before everything went black, as her little body crumbled to the floor.

AN: Hey guys, sorry for not updating, but my schedule got changed and now it's a little harder setting time aside to write. But, don't worry, I will not leave you hanging and will continue this fanfic. However, the chapters are going to be shorter, that is the only way I will be able to continue, at least for now.
