Chapter 21

I have no excuses! I would just like to apologise for my long ass absence and thank you all for all your lovely reviews i have just re-read them and now I have a new computer I thought i better pull my finger out and get writing again.

"It's beautiful" Red announced in awe as she looked up at the perfect waterfall "But how are we going to get up there? I only have small legs" She scowled down at her legs when she heard Damy let out a laugh.

"We fly!" and before red could protest he scooped her up in his arms and jumped to the top of the falls.

The gang on the floor could hear her squeal and then laugh as Damy landed, at the squeal Damon took his own graceful leap to the top.

"Possesive much" Caroline shouted from the ground, handing off the drinks cooler to Stefano and taking her own, slightly less graceful leap.

Stefan took Elena in his arms placed a tender kiss to her forehead and took the leap.

"I think they keep forgetting that I'm human" Bonnie said with a humourless laugh looking to Stefano.

"I would happily take you up Bonnie" Stefano said with sincerity.

"Thanks Stefano, but I actually have a spell I would really like to try" She stated with a sly smirk, sitting on the ground with her legs crossed.

Stefano looked on in awe as she slowly began levitating, she got about 12 feet in the air when she lost her wording, she had a split second to panic before the earth started flying back at her at an alarming rate.

Stefano didn't miss a beat and he artfully caught her before she hit the ground.

"That was amazing Bonnie" He said as he looked down on her in his arms.

"Thank you" She was slightly embarrassed that it didn't work but she knew if she worked on it she could soar up buildings, she will just have to settle for teleportation for the time being, she muttered the incantation but nothing happened, she must have used a bit to much juju on the last spell. "So about that lift?" she asked with a coy smile.

"Of Course" he said with a small nod. "Hold on tight" and with that he was off and Bonnie felt the wind in her hair and couldn't help but smile, she felt so free, just as she started to enjoy it she felt Stefano's feet hit the ground.

Caroline had not been idle while Bonnie had been attempting to levitate over the falls, the blanket had been put down and all the food had been put out.

"What took you two so long?" Caroline asked not turning away from the picnic.

"Just a little experiment" Stefano answered cryptically handing the cooler to Caroline.

"Now the party can get started!" Damy announced stalking over to the cooler and taking out a bottle of Jack Daniels.

Bonnie rolled her eyes and sat down next to Elena who had already started on the sandwiches closely followed by an over excited Red head.

"I still can't believe I'm here with you all, it's just what I needed after the big fight with Elena." Red said instantly looking to the Other Elena next to her. "Sorry Elena" Red said holding on to one Elena's hands.

"Don't worry about it Red, I noticed she was a bit of a bitch." Elena said with a laugh, she had to admit she was shocked that her 'other self' was so selfish, but what was most shocking was that she knew that if she had carried on with her inappropriate relationship with Damon that she would have ended up the same way.

"That's the thing though she really isn't so bad, she is used to getting her own way and can sometimes be a bit selfish, but for her to say such hurtful things to me her best friend….her sister is so unlike her" Red said looking sad as Damon came to sit next to her on the picnic blanket looking rather out of place.

"What did that disgrace to blondes say?" Caroline asked ready to go to Fells church and kick her bony ass into this universe.

"She thinks I used magic to get Damon" Red said in a small voice. "Then I said something worse" she took a deep breath "I said I wished she would have stayed dead" Shame filled the little Red head how could she have uttered those words she regretted them as soon as she said them and she hoped her best friend regretted hers.

Damon pulled her to his chest as she silently cried. "Calmati Red uccello, non è stata colpa tua. Si prega di smettere di piangere" Damon cooed trying to calm her.

Red didn't understand a word he just said, all she knew was that he sounded ridiculously hot while he said it, he could have been calling her a beached whale. She stopped her crying and looked up into those fathomless black eyes that she loved so much and she decided to let it go, she would speak to Elena when she got back and in the mean time she would enjoy spending time with her boyfriend and friends. She leaned up and placed a not so innocent kiss on his plump pink lips.

Damon was just about to deepen the kiss when they heard someone clear their throat.

"some of us are trying to eat here" Elena said looking at the two with raised eyebrows.

Red looked away shyly and picked up one of her crustless masterpieces.

"I forgot that the ladies love Italian!" Damy says looking over to Bonnie. "voglio scoparti bonnie"

Stefano chocked on his drink and stared at Damy wide eyed, He knew his brother could be a little crass but to say that to a lady….he just hoped Bonnie couldn't speak Italian.

"Vai a farti footers Damy!" Bonnie replied with a smirk.

No such luck Stefano thought.

Damy tried to hide his shock. "who knew Bonnie knew dirty words, and in another language no less. You always surprise me Ms Bennett" Damy said as he sat down next to Stefan who was shaking his head at his brothers antics.

"You always have to lower the tone don't you brother"

"Sometimes the tone needs to be a bit lower don't you think Steffy" Damy replied with a wink.

"Any one care to explain what they just said?" Caroline asked looking impatient, she knew she should have carried on with Italian but as soon as she learnt the phrase 'Your hot, lets go' what more did she really need.

"You don't want to know!" Stefano stated looking at the blonde who had invaded his thoughts for the last week. The blonde who hadn't even looked at him since he arrived.

"Fair enough" She replied with a light laugh trying to avoid his gaze, she liked Stefan but everything was to confusing at the moment, Tyler may have broke the sire bond but she still didn't know if she could trust him and stefan lived in a different dimension, she used to love boy drama but now she's had more than enough.

Once all the food had been consumed and the girls were on there third cocktail everyone was relaxed and all in their own worlds.

Bonnie, Red and Damon were doing some magic training trying to get Red to close her mind to Damon and then also try and get into his mind.

Stefan and Stefano were trying to get to know each other better.

Elena and Caroline were tidying up the picnic while damon sat with his back against the tree with his bottle of JD in his hands.

"You could help you know Damy" Elena sassed with her hands on her hips.

"RIght I have had about enough of this Damy business, you cannot give a stud like me a name like that." He said standing to his feet. "I am Damon freaking Salvatore and you will all address me as such from now on."

"Whatever Damon, are you going to help us or not?!" Elena said rolling her eyes she wasn't in the mood for his usual speech so she thought she would just let him have this win.

Fells Church

"How can he have left me…me, first he wants to go on a break and then he goes to another freaking universe where that skank Caroline is how can he do this to me" She shouted looking at the boy sitting on her bed.

"Don't worry, we'll make them pay I promised you didn't I" He said with an evil laugh.

"You did but I still don't understand why you even came back?" Elena asked looking at the boy on her bed with confused eyes.

"To apologise to you and to get my payback on the Salvatore brothers and anyone else who stands in my way, you said you wanted that to after the dark haired one picked your best friend!" He said getting annoyed, 'she better not back out of this', i need to get my revenge on those brothers.

"Yes I do but your not going to hurt them are you? just mess with them." She asked she just wanted them to feel as bad as she does she doesn't want them getting hurt.

"Of Course" He replies with a sly grin, he wouldn't hurt them but he couldn't be sure they wouldn't get hurt in the Dark Dimension, hopefully they would and they would pay for what they did to him and Caroline.

"Good. So what are we going to do? they are away for the weekend?" Elena asked sitting on the bed next to him.

"We will do it next week we don't have to rush this, revenge is a dish best served cold remember!" He says getting up from the bed and making his way to the window. "Don't worry when I have finished with them they will be begging you to take them back." and with that he jumped out the window.

Elena lay back on her bed wondering again if she was doing the right thing, all she wanted is for everything to go back to normal, she wanted her friends around her and she wanted Damon and Stefan all to herself again, that wasn't to much to ask was it.
