I'm sooo sorry for making you guys wait so long I got caught up, but I'm back with a new chapter we have a flashback in this one yay! Oh and also I want to thank all of you for you're reviews I enjoy reading all of them. Can't wait until tonight Damon asks Bonnie for her help on the Vampire Diaries so awesome! I love Bamon!

Previously on The Vampire Diaries…

"Bonnie hey…" Bonnie heard Tyler's voice call to her.

He along with Stefan and Elena walked into the kitchen; Elena looked like something was bothering her.

"Hi Tyler…" Bonnie then looked to Elena and noticed that something was wrong with her.

"Elena is something wrong?" Bonnie asked worryingly.

Elena's brown eyes shifted to look at Bonnie. Her expression gave Bonnie the answer without any need for words.

"We told Tyler about Katherine" Stefan said his gaze motioning to Tyler.

Bonnie didn't find any words to say until Tyler spoke.

"I saw her at the Mystic Grill; she was there with some dude that I've never seen before. He looked suspicious…but what I'm really taken aback by is that Elena actually has a doppelganger."

"If you know that then they must've also told you what they really are." Bonnie replied.

"Actually Bonnie…he already knew...and he knows that we know what he is as well" Stefan said jumping in on the conversation.

Bonnie eyes grew wide as she scanned all of the faces. She hoped that the next thing that came out of Stefan's mouth wouldn't be that he also told him about what she really was.

As if reading her mind Stefan shook his head and mouthed out the words I didn't tell him.

A feeling of relief came over Bonnie when he did that. Tyler didn't know about her…good it was for the best.

There was a suddenly a knock at the door.

"Oh must be the delivery guy…Bonnie can you help me bring this stuff?"

Caroline asked as she jumped up and raced out the kitchen to answer it.

Bonnie followed right behind her, as she walked by Tyler he gave her the once over with his eyes…the way he looked at her looked like he was practically accusing her of something.

Bonnie looked back over her shoulder at him as he watch her walk out of the room.

Stefan noticed the stares and confronted Tyler about it.

"Remember don't let her know that you know about her…if she knew about that day she would never forgive herself."

"She hasn't seen it yet huh?" Tyler asked.

Stefan sighed before answering. "No not yet, she hasn't gone into town yet…but when she does see it we'll just have to tell her what other people are telling each other…it was a mysterious hurricane nothing more…understand?" Stefan said sternly.

"Yeah I understand."

Mystic Falls 1864

The night was still and the air was warm against his face, ever since his brother convinced him to drink blood he has felt nothing but hatred and spite. The woman he loved was gone maybe forever and now he was stuck in a body unable to feel the warmth of the sun and the coolness of the night's breeze.

He stared out into the distance his eyes gliding over the moonlit night, the water seemed to capture its beauty completely, it was enough to make anyone else feel at ease and relaxed, but not him not now.

"Damon dear? What's ya'll a doing out here all alone?"

Damon was familiar with this voice; slowly he turned his head noticing the dark-skinned beauty staring at him her greenish-brown eyes filled with concern. Yes…those eyes that matched her dressed so perfectly, her silky brown hair always wrapped up neatly in a scarf.

She walked closer to him cautiously knowing that he was still upset and on the edge, still heart broken and hurt even though it's been over four months since Katherine was captured and sealed away. Damon rubbed his face with both of his hands even though he was unable to shed a single tear over his beloved Katherine he still felt as though he had.

"Emily…" Damon acknowledged her presence without even looking her way; he could feel her warmth as she sat down next to him.

Emily folded her legs to her chest her soft features relaxing as she followed Damon's eye of motion out unto the lake.

"Damon…I'm a sorry alls dis is happening to ya, but ya gotta stay strong or else ya will die mentally not physically…ya'll is no longer human, but I know enough about vampires to know that after awhile if ya don't hold on to yer humanity ya will lose yourself forever…just like her."

Damon did not waver, if it was anyone else but Emily giving him this heart to heart he would probably rip their throats out, but this was Emily Bennett and even if she was still just a human, she was someone who shouldn't be trifled with. Damon glanced over at Emily who was still staring out into the darkness, he recalled yesterday the day she delivered her first born child. He had no idea that she was even with child until a few months ago when he noticed her belly becoming more plump and firm.

Damon sighed; he didn't want her to see him in this vulnerable state so he quickly decided to put on an uncaring act as he often did with others when they were getting a little bit too familiar.

"How are you feeling?" Damon asked in an unemotional tone.

Emily smiled at his poor attempt to start a conversation knowing that he probably didn't even want the company.

"I'm fine thanks for a askin, and the child is a sleeping and well…ya know Damon ya don't have to a keep sleeping outside why don't you come in with us for the night?"

Damon felt his body shake with anger, lately anything that included 'that man' for more reasons than one made his blood boil with wrath.

"I told you I refused to stay under the same roof with that…that…" He couldn't find the words; there were none to describe his younger brother whom he hated so much. Stefan took everything from him that he wanted. Katherine, his fathers love and his humanity. Stefan was always the one getting everything that Damon wanted, and he envied his brother while his was alive, but know that he was an undead live person he despised him unconditionally.

The only person he had to talk to was Emily and even though they weren't exactly friends it was better than nothing sometimes, but other times the majority of the times he just wanted to be left alone, so take he could drown in his hatred, self loathing and sorrow.

"Stefan cares for ya Damon he is ya brother after all, and even if you don't want to admit it now…one day ya'll is gonna need each other, he is all ya got now for an eternity, while other's will fade and die over time in the end he is all ya got."

Damon was beyond annoyed now, why was it that every time she talked that she had to give him in-sight as though she was his shrink. Damon stood up in a blink of and eye, towering over her, his eyes as black as the night.

"Don't give me that hocus pocus fortune telling crap right now Emily! There is no way I would ever, ever forgive that bastard after everything he's done, Katherine is gone and he killed our father! Everything that happens is his fault and I'll be damned if I ever again set my eyes upon his face!"

Damon was yelling at the top of his lungs, his blue eyes like fire as he stood looking at Emily who was quiet and content. In the distance Damon could hear the cries of her infant, he most likely awoke to the sound of his yelling, but he didn't really care.

Emily sighed and looked at him disapprovingly. "Now look what ya gone and did ya woke up Zachariah." Emily pushed herself off of the ground before stopping mid way in her tracks. Her body stiffened as she brought her hands to her head.

Damon noticed something off about her, he could hear her heart beat pick up tempo and her body heat rise drastically. He took a step closer to her curiously.

"Emily? What's wrong?" Damon asked. He waited for her rely but she did not respond to him. Then as he was about to take a few steps closer to her she turned around quickly her eyes filled with tears.

"Damon they are a comin." Emily said as she held herself.

Damon tilted his head not sure of what she was talking about.

"What are you-" She cut him off before he could finish his sentence.

"There's no time to explain right now follow me!" She demanded.

She turned around and ran full speed toward the cabin, Damon followed close behind her. Bursting into the door she made her way over to the bed where her baby laid. Damon entered the door next, he was prepared to be confronted with his brother but when he noticed that he was not in the cabin he mentally breathed a sigh of relief.

Emily was scurrying around the cabin picking up clothes and sheets throwing them all into a small carpet bag.

"Emily what the hell is going on?" Damon said half frustrated and half worried.

Emily not stopping what she was doing turned to look at him once before focusing back on her task.

"Someone told them what I was and a now they are a comin after me and I'm afraid that this time it's goin be for good."

Damon shook his head still in pit of confusion. "Who Emily who?"

"The town Damon, all of them are a comin…" Emily turned around to meet his gaze she was out of breath. "I need you're help Damon."

Damon step up to her placing his hands on her shoulders he shook her gently.

"Why don't you stop them with your powers Emily? I know that would be no problem for you."

Emily looked down at the ground he could see the tears well up in her eyes once more.

"I can't."

Damon blinked at her not believing the words that were coming out of her mouth.

"Why not?" Damon tried to keep calm, even though Emily wasn't exactly a friend she was still a good person.

"I used all my strength on placing a protection spell on Zachariah, and also this…"

Emily reached into her dress pocket and produced a brown stoned necklace.

"What's that?" Damon asked as she placed it in the palm of his hand.

"This-this will help ya get Katherine back…I was a planning on giving it to ya earlier, I placed a spell on it that will help ya get Katherine out of the tomb but only on the day of the comet."

Damon stepped back away from her in disbelief; his eyes grew wide, hope restoring in his cold desolate heart.

"Why didn't you give it to me before? Maybe I would've been sparred the hopelessness that I've been feeling for the last couple of months!" Damon grew angry, this whole time she knew.

"I didn't tell ya just in case of an emergency like this…I knows I could use this as a bargaining chip."

Looking up from the necklace Damon narrowed his eyes at her.

"Bargaining chip?"

Emily grinned slyly. "If ya protect my lineage I will let ya keep that necklace…if ya refuse then I can just take it back and destroy it…what's yer choice?"

Damon looked at her questioningly, if he said no his hopes of seeing Katherine again will be all but lost…but if he said yes his hopes of recovering his love will be even more prominent.

"So…all I have to do is protect your family and wait until the next comet arrives in order to open the tomb? I'm not a witch though how could I-?"

Emily brought her finger up to her mouth signaling him to stop talking. "All ya have to do to open the tomb is use the powers of my chil'ren and their chil'ren, then and only then will ya be able to open the tomb…my blood is the only thing that can over ride the spell I cast."

Damon nodded, but something was troubling him. "Why don't you let us help you?"

"Because! You're suppose to be dead and also if they lay eyes on my child they'll hurt him too, I just need ya to get out of here as a quickly as ya can…please Damon just listen I've seen what happens and this is the best solution."

Emily picked up the infant and motioned for Damon to hold out his hands. Damon complied and reached for the child who was almost weightless in his arms.

He was wrapped in a tattered piece of grey cloth his green eyes were big and for some reason he was unusually cheery.

Damon tried to concoct a smile but even though it was suppose to be a fake one it still failed to appear on his stern face.

Emily grabbed her jacket and pushed Damon toward the door; once they were outside she placed the carpet bag in his free hand.

She looked around franticly before shifting her eyes back to him.

"By the way if you fail to hold true to your promise the necklace won't work…ever…so make sure you choose what you do wisely."

Damon nodded his head it was always like this, for some reason she knew Damon better than anyone else ever had...his thoughts and his mannerisms… it was eerily weird to him.

"I understand…" Damon would be lying if he said he was worried about what will happen to Emily, she knew what was best for her so how could he argue…right now all he could think about was where to take the child so that he could hold up his end of the bargain.

Emily smiled before leaning down to kiss her baby on the forehead. She then looked up at Damon and nodded.

"Run…and don't stop until you're tired." Emily said sternly.

Giving her one more once over Damon winked at her before speeding off into the night.

Once Damon was out of eye shot and once she was unable to feel his presence she sat down on the porch, reciting a small prayer in Latin tongue. She could hear the shouts and the footsteps heading her way…there was no point in hiding or running she was too tired to fight her fate any longer.

Their shouts grew louder each second. "Kill the witch! Burn her alive, kill the Witch!"

Taking one more deep breath she looked up to the sky the moon reflecting into her pools of green before a large rock came hurling toward her knocking her unconscious.

Present day Mystic Falls

Bonnie awoke suddenly from a frightening dream, or at least that's what she thought it was…if it wasn't she wouldn't be on high alert right now, but try as she might she could not remember what it was about.

Last night after they ate dinner, Caroline and Tyler left for home leaving her Stefan and Elena alone in the house. They stayed up for a little while longer before Stefan and Elena decided to head upstairs to bed. Too tired to leave for home Bonnie decided to sleep on the couch instead of Damon's room, why would she sleep in there willingly anyways?

Who knows what lurked on his bed sheets.

She remember her eyes stinging with pain as she turned down Stefan's offer to drive her home; she told him that she would stay for one more night before leaving in the morning.

Looking at the old grandfather clock she noticed the time on it read five-thirty she sighed again she wasn't able to sleep, the last time she awoke was at three, unable to get back to sleep she decided to go ahead and make a ring for Caroline. She looked at the table in front of her there on the surface laid the blue ring; Bonnie felt no need to test the ring to see if it worked, she had confidence in her powers and knew for a fact that the spelled worked.

She sat there for a moment slowly letting her head drift down, she was tired…tired of fighting…tired of running…just tired. All of a sudden decided she needed some time alone to herself before she lost it.

She knew that Stefan and Elena would get on her case later when they found out that she left the boarding house without telling them, but she was a big girl and could handle herself.

Bonnie stood up from the couch and stretch out her arms and legs; the past couple of days have left her stiff she couldn't wait to get back to her Grams house where she was most comfortable.

Slipping on her shoes and jacket she hurriedly looked for some paper and a pen to write Elena and Stefan a note.

She found a pen in a nearby drawer and a piece of paper in a stack in the library.

Taking the pen in her hand she carefully wrote a clear note that would explain to them where she ran off to.

Elena and Stefan

I went home for the day, so don't worry when you find me gone. If you need anything call me and I'll eventually get back to you, but don't bother to come over because I won't answer the door… I need to be alone for awhile; I promise I'll stop by later in the day. Also, tell Damon the same thing because if I find him at my front door step at any time today I'll make him wish that I would have 'only' set him on fire.

P.S I made a ring for Caroline you can find it next to this note; give it to her as soon as you can. Thanks for everything ttyl.

Love Bonnie

Bonnie scratched her head as she placed the pen down next to the paper, she considered writing a thank you note to Damon too but she thought that he already got his reward last night and that there was no need to further express her gratitude. A memory of Damon immediately flooded her mind as she recalled his soft gentle lips on hers, and the way he held the small of her back pressing her closer to his board hard chest.

Bonnie shook her head knocking the memory from her mind. She couldn't think of Damon like that, anyone but him she despised him with all her heart…right?

Not wanting to confront the issue any further Bonnie gathered her things and made her way out of he front door quietly. Once she was outside she smiled as the cool breeze hit her nostrils. Feeling better already she swiftly made her way in the direction of her home admiring the singing of the birds and the sun as it peeked over the horizon.

Damon was still pissed as he walked down the empty streets of the town. The stupid birds were up early chirping there asses off, and the sun was annoyingly bright.

He stayed up all night at a night club, drinking away all of his frustrations that he had. If it wasn't that little witch that was making him feel this way he would have snapped their neck by now.

Up again all night…Damon thought about the last two nights he stayed up caring for the little witch…sure he was a vampire but he still felt the urge to sleep, it was a good way to past the time…but then again so was drinking.

As Damon rounded the corner he spotted a familiar face. Not believing his eyes he rubbed them, squinting even harder until his doubts were cleared. He frowned as he made his way over to the dark-skinned beauty, who was clearly unaware of his presence.

"You must be lost, little girl can I help you find your mommy?" Damon smirked as he always did in either funny or tense situations.

Bonnie stopped abruptly in front of him surprised that she didn't notice him first.

Her eyes filled with anger as she used her powers to slam him against a concrete wall.

Damon groaned in pain as he fell to the ground, Bonnie took small steps toward him before speaking.

"What the hell…happened to the town…and why didn't anyone tell me?" Her last words filled with pain and hurt.

Damon steadied his self as got to his feet. Dusting the dirt and dust off of his clothes.

"You use any excuse you can just to throw me against a wall huh? It's getting really old little witch."

Bonnie didn't move as Damon walked closer to her, his face twisted in what seemed to be regret? Disappointment? She couldn't tell.

"Hmmm…you were headed home weren't you? Want me to run you over to the school so you can get you car?"

Bonnie eyes darkened but then settled as she remembered her previous question.

"That's not what I asked I asked what happened here, why are all the buildings destroyed and why…why didn't you tell me Damon?"

Damon could see her expression change again from one of anger to one of sadness. He couldn't bare that look so he adverted his eyes else were unable to meet her gaze.

Bonnie grew impatient as she waited for an answer, her blood started to rush and her chest tightened.

Damon knew that this would happen, but as much as he wanted to protect her he couldn't protect her from this, the truth. Damon didn't talk as he walked past her. Stopping before he strayed to far away from her.

"Follow me and I'll tell you… exactly what happened."

Stefan was still asleep as Elena got up from the bed. The day was just starting but she couldn't sleep any longer her stress level was way too high. She wore only a silky blue night gown. She roughly combed her hair with her hands before quietly standing up and making her way out of the room.

A while later Stefan woke up rubbing his heavy eyes with the back of his hand, the rays of light filtered into the room warming the side of his face. In the corner of his eye he could see the brunette head sticking out from underneath the covers her white shirt revealing some of her soft skin. Stefan reached over and wrapped his arms around her torso pulling her close.

She responded by turning around and quickly burying her head into his chest and underneath the covers.

"Good morning sweetheart did you sleep well?" Stefan asked with a smile.

She nodded her head in reply as she kissed his bare chest with her soft lips. Stefan moaned at her sudden actions stroking her hair with his free hand while he used the other to prop his head up.

"Elena you're awfully lively considering it's so early in the morning."

She giggled as she continually kissed his chest and let her hands roam free over his half nude body.

"Elena c'mon what are you doing?" Stefan asked playfully.

She just continued to giggle as her hands slid down the back of his neck and the opening of his boxers.

"Elena." Stefan called her name once more as he pulled back the covers.

His eyes widened in shock and his fangs descended as he jumped up from the bed in an un-human type of speed, positioning himself in front of the open door way.

Lying in his bed was Katherine of all vampires, gleaming happily and smiling as casually she waved at him.

"And a good morning to you too… sweetheart."
