Chapter 10: Whatever It Takes
Damon wasn't going to give up, not when you felt her respond to his kiss a mere few hours ago. He would get her to forgive him if it took everything that he had inside. Bonnie was stubborn though and she was intent on staying away from Damon. She would have already left but her father finally decided to show up play parent for the first time in her life.
He told her to stay until at least until the summer came and she agreed against her better judgment. His plan would take place soon because he had to get Bonnie back whatever it takes. He had finally got Klaus and Stefan both on board with his crazy ass plan as they both put it. They finally agreed on something and as usual it was against Damon.
There were a few kinks in plan because no one told Matt, Caroline, or Tyler about the plan, therefore this left them open to mess up Damon's plan. If something can go wrong for Damon it usually does go wrong for him, that's why he didn't want to leave anything up to chance, not when his whole future with Bonnie was on the line. Damon knew that he couldn't take the chance that something could and would go wrong. Therefore he had to make sure that Matt, Caroline and Tyler didn't mess up his plans for Bonnie. He had forgotten about Bonnie's cousin Lucy though.
He compelled Matt to not talk to Bonnie the day that he was going to implement his plan. He convinced Stefan to talk to Caroline and have her talk to Tyler; he convinced them that they were going to play an innocent prank on Bonnie and to not respond to her calls for help. It all seemed to be coming together for once for Damon. Klaus, Elena, and Stefan were all doing their part but there was something that none of them realized, how powerful Bonnie was now and how much her cousin would interfere with their plan.
Klaus decided on this old warehouse outside of town for the plan to work. He had Elena tied up to make it look good but getting Bonnie proved to be more of a challenge for Klaus but he was always up for a challenge though. He tried to abduct her after school but Lucy was there picking her up and he didn't know what power they both had together. He tried several different times but it seemed that Lucy was with Bonnie all the time.
Finally he called Damon, he picked up on the second ring, "Yea, what do you want now Klaus?"
"Well, I want you to distract Lucy and get her away from Bonnie unless you want your plan to go down the drain?"
"Fine, I will take care of the little witch, just be ready to abduct Bonnie ok?"
"Fine, I am holding up my end of the deal but you better make sure that Stefan up holds his part of the deal too?"
"Don't worry, my brother always keeps his word, he's loyal to a fault."
They both hung up without another word to be spoken to each other. Damon called Lucy on the phone and told her that he needed to see her alone. He told her that it was about what happened between him and Bonnie. Since she didn't know the whole story about what really happened between them and she was curious about it, so she agreed to meet him alone, which meant that Bonnie would be all alone in her grandmother's house. This house was of course open to any vampires and since Klaus wasn't a vampire but a hybrid, there wasn't any house that she could hide from him in. He waited for Lucy to leave and as soon as she did, he went inside to abduct Bonnie.
She was asleep but he didn't want a magical fight; therefore he quickly said a spell that kept her unconscious until the time was right. The only reason that he agreed to this plan with Damon was because he wanted Caroline whatever it took. A few hours later Bonnie awoke in a dirty room, tied up hanging from the ceiling; she looked over and realized that Elena was in the same position that she was in now. She reached for her magic and realized that there was a circle of something drawn on the ground preventing her from using magic at all. Bonnie felt like she was in panic mode because they were both in a dangerous situation, it didn't look good.
"Elena, please wake up, do you remember who brought us here?"
As Elena pretended to wake up and look confused, then she said, "I'm not sure but I think it was Klaus though. I don't know why but I'm sure that it has something to do with either Damon or Stefan though."
Bonnie noticed that this was the first time that she and Elena have seen each other let alone spoken to each other since the incident that happened between Elena and Damon. Bonnie knew that they would eventually see each other again and talk again but she didn't think that it would happen like this though.
"Why do you think that?"
"Well because they both care about both of us or do you not believe that anymore?"
"No, they do care about us but they both love you, not me."
"Is this really the time that you want to talk about Damon now?"
"No but there may not be a later for us, I think that we should clear the air now."
"Fine, ok, I let Damon kiss me and that was wrong. Stefan forgave me because he knows that it was a mistake. I don't love Damon and it was a huge mistake letting him kiss me. The only reason that I think it happened was because my emotions are intensified now that I'm a vampire. I don't have feelings for Damon and he doesn't have feelings for me either, we talked about it. He told me that he merely projected what he felt for Katherine all those years ago. It wasn't real though."
"I don't care about what Damon does or doesn't feel for you because that doesn't matter anymore to me."
"If that were true than you would have talked to me long before now and why won't you forgive Damon then, I mean if you really feel nothing for him now?"
"I need to be free of this drama, the only reason that I haven't left yet is because my father wants me to stay here and finish the school year out. I don't care how you've convinced yourself and Stefan that you will be faithful but I know that it's only a matter of time before you let Damon consume and destroy you because he will. Take it from me, I know all about the ways that he can seduce and destroy a woman."
"It sounds like you are talking from personal experience, why don't you just admit it, you Bonnie Bennett, fell for the bad boy Damon Salvatore?"
"Because I was supposed to be better than you and Caroline, I wasn't supposed to let it get that far but it did and now I can't seem to stop myself from caring about him. I mean no matter what I do, I can't get Damon out of my system. What's wrong with me Elena?"
"Nothing, you're in love with Damon and that isn't a horrible thing as you think it is. He made a mistake and threw away something that had the potential of becoming something great, why do you think that he did that?"
"I don't know because he's a stupid guy?"
"Well, yes he is that but he is also a self-destructive guy as well, I mean whenever something good happens in his life he assumes that it will never last. If by chance it does, he finds a way to destroy it before it destroys him. You know that Bonnie and yet you still got involved with him, why?"
"I don't know, I was lonely and he was there."
"No, come on, be honest, you never did casual sex before, why did you hook up?"
"Fine, I have always kind of had a thing for him but he never noticed me until that one night. I thought that it was the best mistake that I ever made but I was so embarrassed the next day. I didn't know what to say to him but he did all the talking and I didn't have to do anything."
"Wait a minute, are you telling me that he seduced you but you let him think that you didn't want to be with him, when the whole time you really wanted him?"
"Well, it sounds bad when you say it like that, but yes. I wanted him for a while and I thought if I spent one night with him that it would be enough but it wasn't enough. It was like he was a drug and I was so addicted that I couldn't see straight."
Suddenly they both noticed that they weren't alone any longer but that Klaus was there.
"Is that right, you were addicted to sleeping with the enemy, wow Bennett, I would have thought you liked the good guys more like Jeremy Gilbert, what happened with that one?"
