There is a catch up part just after this A/N, to help you remember what had happened previously to the gang. Again Thank You Enjoy!
Last time with Bonnie and Caroline:
"Lets g..." Caroline was cut off, when they both spun around to the sudden bang of the front doors. "Um what on earth was that" Bonnie questioned, edging closer to her friend who had copied her movements, grabbing hold of each others hand.
"I have no idea, i really hope it's just the wind, what i wouldn't give for my vamp hearing about now, then at least we would know by now" Caroline replied nervously not used to being this vulnerable.
As they ran toward the noise, they quickly grabbed a hammer and lump of wood just in case they needed to defend themselves, they stopped short because they simply couldn't believe what they could see in front of their own eyes. They dropped their weapons to the ground barely hearing them hit, "No, it can't be" they said in unison.
The Reunion
NOW:
For a moment the girls just stared at the newcomers, who were standing right in front of them, after their earlier sudden outbursts. All of a sudden Bonnie found herself speaking up, unable to wait any longer, "Damon is it, is it really you" she exclaimed happily with slight teary eyes, the worry of being wherever they were was numbed a little just by seeing his face, before she got an answer she ran at him and flung her arms around his neck.
Damon stumbled backwards with this action if only a little bit, but he was surprised by the force behind the lunge of the small witch, in fact by her actions as well, but was glad she was happy to see him, as he was to see her, so he ignored whatever he was thinking, just picked her up and spun her around as they rested their foreheads together, breathing heavily from their happiness at seeing each other.
"Thank god you're okay, we were so worried about you both" she says happily, as Damon squeezes her tight right up against his chest, while she squeezes back tighter still, more so than she had realized that she could.
"Um Bon, i'm really loving the love and all, but i'm all human now, you're kind of crushing my lungs, don't get me wrong, missed you too and all but, could you go easy witchy, have another go when i get back to normal yeah" Damon said breathlessly with a small chuckle.
"Oh crap, i'm so sorry, i completely i forgot, we thought you might be, human that is, but i hoped it maybe hadn't affected you as well, because you are obviously older than Care, but it did huh?" she asked concerned, then immediately smiled as she realized what he had just said, so she continued "So um Damon, did my ears just deceive me, or did i just hear what i think i heard, did the great big bad Damon Salvatore, admit too missing little old me" she giggled at the look of disbelief and fake anger on his face as he stepped closer to her still.
"Now Bon-Bon, i may no longer be a big bad vampire, but i have many ways to stop you talking, so maybe it would be wise if you don't poke the bear" he said wiggling his eyebrows in her direction as he smirked.
She giggled smacking his arm, then she spoke to him still laughing all the time, no matter how hard she tried to stop in vain. "Hey none of that Mr Salvatore, behave yourself for a moment" she said.
"Now come on Bon, you know me better than that, don't you?" he said in a low seductive voice, as he began backing her against the wall behind her, getting closer all the time and smirking all the way, neither of them remembering where they were, or the company they were in at the present moment.
As Bonnie suddenly found herself bumping into the wall, Damon bracketed Bonnie in with his arms, stopping her attempts at escaping not that she was trying very hard, then dipping down to whisper into her ear as he did so, in the way he knew from just last night had sent tingles down her spine, "You know you love me, just. the. way. i. am. Bon" he said slowly, pausing after each word for emphasis.
"I know you do, i can feel it, bubbling just under your skin, when we're close, even now, as we stand here, it feels like your skin is on fire and you can't breathe, i know because i feel exactly the same now, before however, when i was a vampire, it was far more intense, you might say, never the less incredible, but i will say i really enjoy what i do to you, in fact i enjoy what you do to me, you my little witch are just intoxicating, a drug if you will, your incredible, insatiable" he said biting her ear lightly, unable to stop himself being as close as he was.
"Damon, stop please", she said gasping for air, "God please stop, not here okay, just calm down, we can talk later Mr big bad, okay, but yes i know exactly what you mean, in fact lets just say, i can feel how serious you are, right about now", she said chuckling at him then winking, while trying to rein in her breathing.
"I'll take you up on that sweetheart, i know you can beautiful, i'm a little surprised it hasn't made a hole yet" he practically purred, before a stern voice interrupted them.
"Okay you two, how about we break up the foreplay and get moving, you know, get ready for tonight and we need to talk right Damon" Dean said smirking at the sight before them. Damon growled but nodded in his direction all the same.
Meanwhile while Damon and Bonnie were getting cozy, Caroline watched as Bonnie ran into Damon's open arms, she and Dean were just staring at each other silently, if only for a moment, then glancing at the happy chatting pair beside Dean, then without even realizing it, they had both began to walk towards one another, as if an unseen force were pulling them together, when finally they met in the middle, they were mere centimeters from touching.
Dean grabbed Caroline's hips and he dragged her towards him, resting his hands on her lower back as he hugged her tight. She proceeded to fling her arms around his waist and rest her head against his chest squeezing him tight, thankful in this moment that she wasn't a vampire, or they just may not be a lot of Dean Winchester left, but as she got comfortable he began to talk.
"Well you're a sight for sore eyes sweetheart, looking good considering, well everything, i'm really glad your okay" Dean said his chin resting on the top of her head, then Caroline quickly replied, feeling the vibrating of his voice where her head lay on his chest, feeling somehow the safest that she had felt in a long time. In his amazing warm embrace and strong comforting arms.
"I was so worried about you Dean, but i knew you were okay, i somehow managed to see you, although it was as if i were you, i had this kind of vision thing, where i could see through your eyes, at least it felt like that, i could see Damon and hear you shouting about something, which made me smile for some reason, i couldn't understand you, but just hear you, that was still comforting because at least you were okay, sorry i'm rambling again, i hope Damon behaved himself though" she said turning serious towards the end, Dean looked taken aback for a moment, but he smiled at her, touched by her concern for him, thinking about what to say before he spoke.
"How is that possible, i mean, even before this, you were a vampire, not a witch, how can you even do that, it's pretty cool, but even still how?" Dean asked confused.
"Bonnie says it's like her grams said, there's a connection between us remember, if the vision was anything to go on, she was right a seriously strong one, Bonnie and Damon have one too, but ours is apparently stronger or something, it's complicated i guess, hey maybe if we ever get out of here we can ask her" Caroline said beginning to get upset again, about their situation and the thought of never getting out of this place and seeing her mother again.
"Hey look at me sweetheart, we've got this okay, all of us are getting out of here, together and alive, it's all gonna be okay, i promise you, you've still got me right, you are incredible you know that" he said looking into her big beautiful blue eyes. Caroline believed him and she couldn't put her finger on why, but she knew she could trust him, he wouldn't lie to her, she was wondering if she had sounded crazy with what she had just said however.
Dean couldn't take his eyes off of her, gently brushing the hair from her face, she looked up at him while he looked down at her, with those big blue eyes, blue meeting green, but he found himself looking at her perfect, plump pink lips and he absentmindedly ran his thumb over the bottom one faintly, he noticed her glancing up at his lips as well now, they both began to breathe heavily, feeling the sexual tension and desire between them hit them like wild fire, Dean began to lean in and down towards her, when all of a sudden Caroline clears her throat and steps back slightly, looking away from him.
"Hey so um Dean, get a load of those two over there huh" she says nervously and a little awkwardly, after what just almost happened, causing Dean to then clear his own throat, hoping to get rid of some of the awkwardness, but failing miserably, god he felt like a dick, "Um yeah right, i guess we all need to talk and get set up for the night, we can um talk later maybe" they nodded at each other with Caroline now beginning to feel bad, like she had turned him down, it's not like she wanted too.
God she wanted to kiss his beautiful full lips, all day in fact if she could, what if she'd ruined it now, he looked sort of hurt that she'd backed away from him, but Caroline hadn't meant it, not like that and she definitely didn't mean to hurt him. However she didn't want it like this, they hadn't known each other long after all, it wasn't fair on either of them, because she had a bad feeling the second she went back to being a vampire, that his feelings would change, to the first time they had met.
Then they both looked away, before they could feel any more of a pull toward each other, instead they looked towards the other couple, as Damon appeared to be whispering in Bonnie's ear, he had her pressed right up against the wall, Caroline couldn't help but wonder what Dean would have done, if she had just given in a moment ago and kissed him, if maybe that could of been them, as her mind started to wonder.
That's when Dean decided to speak up, the air was becoming thick around the four of them, he'd be fucked if Damon got anywhere before he managed to, "Okay you two, how about we break up the foreplay and just get moving for now huh, you know, get ready for tonight and we need to talk, right Damon" Dean said smirking at Damon, knowing that Damon would more than likely have to agree with him, he couldn't help that be happy that at least he wasn't alone in the frustrated department now, he heard Damon's growl of frustration, but he ignored it smirking at Damon, as Damon begrudgingly nodded at him.
Bonnie and Damon walked back towards where Dean and Caroline stood, so that now they all stood together, waiting for someone to take the lead and talk, then suddenly someone broke the tension, tension that could of been cut with a knife, the electricity still buzzing through the air.
"Well i have to admit, i never thought i would be pleased to see you Damon Salvatore, but i'm actually relieved that you're okay you dick" Caroline said smiling a wide smile at him.
"Yeah you too Blondie, my life would be boring without you annoying me constantly" he said pulling her into a quick hug.
"Okay Bonnie, i'm just gonna ask you something, because i'm guessing Mr inappropriate forgot, but please tell us that you still have your powers, we're gonna need all the help we can get" Dean asked a suddenly gloomy Bonnie, who sighed and quickly looked in his direction, before she answered his question.
"I'm sorry guys", she said looking mainly at Damon and Dean, we're all just human, because whatever effected Damon and Caroline, has also somehow affected me, which i'm not gonna lie, is really worrying to me" she said, glancing quickly at Caroline, who had put a comforting arm around her, she smiled with gratitude at her friend, they really could read each other like an open book.
"Oh crap, we were hoping maybe nature would of been on your side at least" Damon sighed.
"Nope sorry afraid not, although Care and i had hoped much the same, but i can't even do a simple levitation enchantment, nothing at all" she sighed sadly.
"Hey" Damon said taking her face in his hands, "It doesn't matter, we will figure something out, between the four of us alright, i'm just really glad that your okay, we'll get your powers back" he said tenderly stroking her cheek with his thumb, she smiled at him as she laid her hand on top of the hand he had rested on her cheek.
"And who knows it might be fun being all human together, lets face it, it's been a while for me, so maybe i'll need a teacher to tell me if iv'e been a bad boy" he said giving her a wink then he smirked at her, as she blushed at his words, although even as he said it she could see the worry and anger flash through his beautiful crystal blue eyes, before the mask was back on for the world to see, but somehow, strangely lately she could still see through it, as if he was letting her in, or maybe it was the fact she could read every expression on his face just lately and every look he gave, as if they were her own.
Caroline spoke up suddenly, "I'm sorry Damon, it sucks enough for me, i can't even imagine how hard it must be for you, after all almost two hundred years is a long time." Damon just looked at her and nodded, not wanting to talk about it, which she understood completely so she smiled and looked away from her sire.
"Well we're all vulnerable then, but that's okay, we just have to be prepared for whatever is out there, anything at all, we're also we are going to need a barricade up blocking all accessible doors in the building" Dean said, then remembering they hadn't told Caroline and Bonnie anything that Cas had said yet.
"Wait Dean, i thought it was only the four of us here, Bonnie and i have gathered about as much as for the fact that we're in some kind of dreamworld, but what do you know that we don't," she asked him worriedly.
"Dean, Damon what is it, oh crap this is bad right" Bonnie asked.
Both men sighed loudly, Dean rubbed a hand down his face before he spoke, "Oh yeah, it's bad alright" Dean then went on to explain about the trickster (the angel Gabriel), then he asked if they had witnessed the visions contained his run in's with him, such as the never ending Tuesday's he and Sam had got stuck in thanks to him, they nodded briefly that they thought so, he then explained that was in fact was him, then he continued to explain how they eventually got out of it, but Gabriel still had it in for them and unfortunately mainly Dean and that he was an angel.
Dean then revealed how he believed it was Gabriel, behind this whole thing and Cas had agreed with Dean, that he was the most probable culprit and that Dean thought that other than him, the other three may of been dragged in by accident or something, as a way to trap them.
"Okay so that's the history lesson, also i think there is something else that you girls should know, which we were told briefly by Dean's angel friend Castiel, that if we die here, then we die for real, so we need to be really careful" Damon said seriously.
They all nodded then, Caroline and Bonnie looking a little more concerned, although they had expected this it was another thing hearing that it was true.
Bonnie and Caroline looked at Dean expectantly, waiting for him to explain who Castiel was and how they had spoken to him.
So he did, Dean then went on to explain how Cas was his and Sam's angel friend, a good angel, who had always been there for them and he was like family, Dean told them about the conversation they had when he had called Cas, also adding in Damon's reaction, much to the annoyance of the elder Salvatore.
Then Dean elaborated on part of the conversation with Cas, "According to Cas, there are supernaturals here other people, they are likely to be people or things we have killed, or maybe people we know or have known, so maybe, even including people or things that we have failed to kill, that's just by going on what i know about this dick, it's the sort of thing that he would do, i'm guessing that they will still possess their powers unlike you guys, you know to make it fun" Dean said sighing again.
"Well isn't that just fan-fucking-tastic, the name Klaus springs to mind" Damon said glancing meaningfully at the girls who audibly gulped at the thought, "And he can't be killed, so that's another fun thing to add to the list, the original fucking hybrid, so when he does come and i'm sure he will, we're powerless to fight him, even if we had still been supernatural" Damon said becoming exasperated.
They all agreed obviously, Klaus was not someone they wanted to tangle with, especially while they had no powers to help them.
"Well let's hope this dick was only planning for you Dean, so that maybe he would expect you to be alone, but maybe with all of us touching, well falling on top of each other when it happened, it put us all here together or something" Caroline said.
Bonnie nodded "Actually, that would make sense, think about it, i mean he doesn't know us three, maybe if we're lucky there will only be Dean's foes to compete against here" Bonnie said hopefully, looking at Dean.
"Huh yeah trust me, you would prefer to have yours, just one of mine happens to be the king of hell" Dean said.
"Well he sounds like a swell guy and major fun" Damon said sarcastically, he was starting to get pissed off with being and feeling powerless.
"How about we leave the rest of this charming bonding for now anyway, at least until we get this barricade up, we get a camp organised on the roof and get armed and fed" Damon said, beginning to feel the human needs kicking in.
He was getting angry with the hunger for food, it was strange after all of these years not to need blood, but instead need food like a normal person, but it felt good in a strange way.
"Well me and Care can grab the food and drink, i think we need both water and booze tonight, the food we will get stuff just for tonight, you know stuff that we can just eat straight away, for now anyway, all the camping equipment we need" Caroline suggested.
"Fine with me, just get me a pie please and for the love of god, try and find an oven, i could do with a nice warm pie, i'm gonna need my strength and all" Dean said giving Caroline a smile and wink.
"Yes dear of course" Caroline replied smirking back at him, trying to hold in her laughter he was truly adorable.
"You better do Missy, or i'll just sink my teeth into that fine little ass of yours" Dean replied playfully, making her blush much to his delight, then he continued, looking away from her.
"Damon and i will grab weapons and stuff to make the blockade up, we really don't want any visitors tonight, maybe we'll grab a few extras, then we'll meet you girls upstairs in say, an hour, well what we assume to be an hour, what with no clocks and all" Dean explained, receiving nods all around as they walked in different directions.
