A/N: I am so sorry for taking so long to update. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed and mad this story a favorite. =)
Damon and Stefan stared at each other for what felt like hours, but were only seconds. Damon wanted to kill Stefan….no he wanted to torture Stefan for what he just did.
"Damon, we need to get out of here, the tomb is about to fall down." Stefan said, as he knelt down to pick up Bonnie.
Damon appeared in front of Stefan and pushed him away, watching as he hit the wall of the tomb. He didn't want anyone, especially Stefan to touch Bonnie. But he wasn't blind either, he knew that the tomb was about to fall down, so he quickly picked up Bonnie and made his way out of the tomb.
Stefan quickly followed, but when he made it out, Damon and Bonnie were nowhere to be found.
He knew that Damon was angry with him and hurt, but he had to do this. Bonnie wanted him too.
Damon took Bonnie back to her house, and laid her down in bed. He knew her house was a wreck because of her powers, but that would be dealt with later.
He bit into his wrist, and as the blood escaped he stuck it to Bonnie's lips, and let it ease down her throat. Her heart was not beating and the color had left her features. He wasn't going to admit out loud what was going through his mind.
That his Bonnie was dead, and giving her his blood wasn't going to bring her back.
The tears threatened to escape his eyes, but he would not let them fall. He was going to bring Bonnie back. This was not going to be the end for them.
Bonnie's eyes instantly opened and once they adjusted to the light, she realized she was in a place unfamiliar to her. All she could tell was that she was in a place where all she could see was white. Almost like Charmed when Leo would visit the elders. She also noticed that she was dressed in a white flowing dress.
"Where am I?" she said aloud to herself. The last thing she remembered was being stabbed by Stefan, and then everything went dark. Am I dead? She thought. Not just because of the setting and clothes she was in, but she felt free and relaxed; like a giant weight had been lifted off of her.
"Hello, Bonnie," A voice that was all too familiar to her. She turned towards the voice, and came face to face with her ancestor Emily.
"Where am I?"
"You are unconscious in Damon's arms, in your bedroom. Your spirit is in the realm I like to call the in between." She said like it was nothing.
Before Bonnie could respond, Emily beat her to it, "No, you are not dead….well not really."
"I don't understand."
"Well to Damon, Caroline, Elena, Stefan, and everyone else you are dead. Your heart isn't beating, but your soul; your spirit, is still alive. That's why you are here."
A tear slid down her cheek. "Do I get to go back?" This couldn't be where it all ended. She needed to apologize to her friends….she needed to apologize to Damon. She may have told Stefan to kill her, but that was to stop that black magic. Now she wanted to go back to right her wrongs.
"You have two options, you can stay here and live a life of no worries, or you can go back and work on yourself and your magic."
Of course she knew what option she would choose.
Emily knew as well, "But do understand when you choose option 2, that it is not going to be easy. The feeling of contentment that you are feeling now is not going to be the same when you go back. It's going to be hard. You killed innocent people Bonnie, you let magic that was suppose to be good turn evil and consume who you were."
Bonnie was crying as she thought of it all. Emily was right, it was going to be hard, but she needed to go back. Her heart and her soul would not let her be away from Damon. Even through death, she had to be there with him.
Emily grabbed Bonnie's hands gently, "Don't shut your friends out when they try to help you. I'm letting you start over with your magic. Slowly you will get all of your powers back, but not all at once. Do you think you can do this Bonnie, I mean really do this?"
For a moment, she didn't think she could, but she was a Bennett witch. She could do anything. She could right her wrongs. But there was one thing she needed to know before she told Emily her decision was final. "Wait, this thing with Damon and I. Is it real? I know you had something to do with this, but is it real? Will it last?"
"It's real. Will it last?" She smiled softly, "You both are destined to be together. Will it be hard? Sometimes. But every relationship isn't always going to be easy."
Bonnie needed to hear that, but even though she was feeling a state of bliss right now, she knew that once she went back, the feeling was going to be done. She then took a deep breath, "I'm ready."
Emily softly touched Bonnie's face, and looked into her eyes.
Elena walked into Bonnie's house and sat on the couch beside Caroline. It had been a two days since everything had happened with Bonnie, and Caroline and Elena were a mess. A small part of them wanted to believe that Bonnie was going to wake up, but a big part of them knew that it wasn't going to happen. She didn't even have a heartbeat.
"How did we end up like this, Elena?" Caroline cried, as she laid on Elena's lap.
Elena was just thinking the same thing. She couldn't even remember when there was a small ounce of normalcy in their lives.
"And if Damon doesn't let us up there to at least see her, I'm going to kill him." She said.
Elena had to agree. When Stefan told Elena and Caroline everything that happened that night, they rushed over to see Bonnie, but Damon wouldn't let them near her, and he almost staked Stefan. And now, Stefan won't even come into the house. The main reason because he felt bad for what he did to Bonnie.
"I tried to get Stefan to come inside, but he won't. He's still sitting outside on the porch." Elena said, as tears escaped her eyes over her best friend.
Caroline sat up and looked at her friend, "After what he did to Bonnie, he should stay out there…"
"Caroline….as much as I hate what happened. Bonnie asked him to do it."
"It doesn't mean he had to listen. And I can't believe you are taking his side!"
"There are no sides. Caroline, Bonnie is going to wake up okay." She didn't want to argue with Caroline. They were both grieving and they always relied on Bonnie to make everything okay.
Living without her wasn't an option they could think about at the moment.
Damon had been trying to get into Bonnie's mind for the last two days, but he couldn't. He still was not going to accept that she was dead.
He was either sad or angry, and right now he was angry, "Damnit little witch, wake up! Stop being so stubborn and come back to me."
"You don't have to yell," Bonnie's voice drifted to his ears. It was just a bit above a whisper, but with his vampire hearing he could hear her perfectly.
For a moment, he stopped breathing, and looked at her afraid that he was dreaming. But, when Bonnie's eyes fluttered open slowly, and the color returned back to her, he was able to breathe again.
Damon hugged her to the point where Bonnie couldn't breathe, and when she told him so, he let her go, "Don't you ever scare me like that again."
Bonnie saw the sadness in his eyes as he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her, and continued to kiss her. She knew that he needed to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
She wanted to say so much to him, as the tears threatened to fall from her eyes, but she didn't know how. "Damon, I…"
"It's okay, I know." He could tell by the look in her beautiful green eyes what Bonnie was feeling.
She stood out of bed, and Damon had to help her regain her balance. She really needed to take a shower and burn her clothes. But as soon as Damon held on to her, everything came back to her; being in the in between with Emily, killing innocent people, the fight with Katherine, hurting her friends; everything.
With all of that clouding her mind, she broke down. And as she leaned into Damon for support; she cried.
As Bonnie said sorry continuously, Damon just held her in his arms. It wasn't going to be an easy rode for Bonnie to recover from everything. But he would be there with her every step of the way.
A/N: Okay, I'm so sorry for such a short chapter after not updating in forever. I hope you guys aren't disappointed in me. I'm just trying to get things in order with this story. I still have ideas, but its just about getting it all in an order. I really hope you all review and stick with "Destined."
Did you all see the last episode of the vampire diaries. I don't know if I was the only one who thought this was funny, but when Damon and Katherine hit each other, I couldn't help but laugh. I'm glad Bonnie got her powers back. And I am so mad it's not coming back on until April! What kind of mess is that. I'll probably be going through withdraws soon lol.
