Chapter X

Bonnie was wondering if she should really delve deep into Damon's past; it may be disgusting to her. But she was getting more and more curious day by day. She decided to ask Damon at least about his love interest of past. Damon was busy rearranging her shopping bags in her room. She went to her room and approached him silently. She wanted to startle him, but Damon was not to be fooled so easily- he turned and smiled-"My lady, all the things are put in their proper place. Anything else?"

-"Damon, I want to talk with you. Will you just sit down here for some moments?"

-"Sure. Tell me what do you want to talk about?"

-"Ummm.. I don't know. You tell me something about your past, which you relish till date. I don't know anything about your past."

Damon's face darkened. He got up from the couch and went towards the window. He looked outside and said in a heavy voice- "Come here and have a look at the sky. Tell me what are you seeing?"

Bonnie got up and looked outside. It was pitch black outside; there were even no moonbeams to lighten up the sky little bit. The stars were all hidden beneath the dark clouds.

-"It's really dark, Damon. I can't see anything."

-"That is what my past looks to me my lady. I can't find anything to lighten them up.. only….."

-"Only what Damon?"

-"Nothing."

-"You can tell me. I know it's hard to live your life always keeping secrets." Bonnie silently urged Damon to spill out his guts about his past. Unknowingly she used compulsions on him. He sat down on the bed and murmured a name-"Vanessa."

-"Vanessa? Who was she, Damon?"

-"That was the girl whom I loved very much. You know, she was also a Bennet. I wondered the first time I heard your name that if it could be possible that she was your ancestor. You know anything about her?"

-"No. I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm hearing the name for the first time"

-"Vanessa and me were getting married. We were so happy. But everything changed with that misfortunate evening. She was snatched away from my life by destiny. No No No… why I'm blaming destiny! It was all Katherine. That bitch made my life a living hell."

-"Now how did Katherine came into the scene?"

-"well, she is the vampire responsible for my turning. She made me a monster. Stefan and me was the son of a baron, Lord Luciano Salvatore. We were very famous for our ruling in this state. Vanessa was my fiancée. She had bloomed my life with her amorous fragrance. We were a "happy couple", you can say so in so very romantic way! But Katherine ruined everything- my dream, my family, all that meant a lot for me. I never got a chance to meet Vanessa again in my life. You know she also used to wear a sapphire ring like you. You reminded me a lot of her, especially your eyes. They are so alike her"

-"This ring is indeed a family heirloom. I got this from my mom. I don't know where did she got this from!"

-"This ring looks nice on you my lady."

-"Thank you." She was going to say something more, when Stefan entered into the room and said loudly-"Knock knock.. can I disturb the lovely couple?"

Both Damon and Bonnie exclaimed at the same time "Shut up".

Stefan smiled and pointed at the watch. –"It's late Bonnie. You should go to your room and Damon need some food I think. Don't push him so much."

Bonnie nodded and left the room. But she could not just rest. She knew that she had told Damon a big lie; Vanessa was really her ancestor. She had learnt the history of her family well from her gramps. Vanessa was a great witch. She had created herself the sapphire ring and this ring held immense power. If any witch wears this ring her power just nearly got doubled. But she could not tell Damon about Vanessa. Bonnie was afraid what Damon might say, how he might react? Moreover Damon did not know that Vanessa was a witch and Vanessa did not wanted to meet Damon. She was repulsed by the fact that his love had become a monster. Bonnie knew about her feelings from the stories she had heard from her gramps. She did not knew till now that the love of Vanessa that was lost from her and which she lamented and hated at the same time was Damon- the person with whom she is now staying! But she decided that one day she will definitely tell Damon about the true identity of Vanessa but now was not the right time.

Stefan was so very happy- he was rejoicing the days as Damon was behaving like old days. He did not have to worry about the evil side of his brother at least for a whole week. It was a huge relief and at the same time blessing in his unmerciful life! He had never thought that he would get a chance to get the glimpse of his loving and well-behaved brother. He laughed at his own thoughts- "yeh, 'well-behaved', this term really suits Damon now." He thanked Bonnie silently both for gifting him back the memories of his past days in present day and also for keeping his secret from Elena.

He really loved Elena very much, but was too shy to tell her. Today he had decided to tell her. Now he got cold feet; he tried to talk with Bonnie about this. But she had laughed hard exclaiming that-"Now vampires are having cold feet. What an irony! Tell me, from when did you folks are warm-blooded animal? If vampires are nervous these days what will happen to normal ordinary poor people Stefan. Just think about that" and Stefan was so embarrassed. Now it was a challenge to him; he could do it and that too without Bonnie's help. He had texted Elena to meet him in the park. Elena had become very good friend of him, but he wanted to tell her about his true feelings.

Stefan saw Elena entering into the park. She was wearing a blue dress; it looked like a sky fairy was coming towards her. She looked so beautiful; Stefan was opening staring at her. Elena noticed that and said in a chiding tone-"Hey, stop ogling me like that. You are making me self-conscious. What! Is there something wrong with me?"

-"No, you are looking so beautiful, Elena. I was appraising your beauty."

-"Stop it Stefan!" and she blushed deeply. Her cheeks became nearly red and Stefan became conscious because his fangs were elongating involuntarily. With great mental strength he controlled himself. He reverted the topic and said in a joyful tone-"You know, any boy can murder me just to be with you now."

-"You called me to say these nonsense! Okay then I'm leaving."

-"No no, please wait. I have to tell you something important."

-"Then come to the point."

-"Yes. Umm… I.. I… "

-"Why are you stammering?"

-"No.. yes.. I mean I wanted to invite you in dinner to my house. Will you honour me?"

-"Sure Stefan. I'll come definitely. You were taking so much time to invite me to a dinner! OMG! How much time will you take to propose a girl!"

Stefan mentally sighed; no he was definitely not acting to his standards! He was stammering before a human girl; what was wrong with him. Now he had to again ask for the favour from Bonnie. But he knew Bonnie would help him. The main problem was to control Damon, which was now not a problem at all. "All thanks to Bonnie" Damon would behave like a proper host and entertain them all. But he remembered the next day was the last day of Bonnie's compulsion and the hell would break loose after Damon got back from this pathetic state. He had definitely something to seriously worry about, but for now he would concentrate on the dinner.
