SO SO SO sorry for the late update! Enjoy!
"Some weeks later"
°°.°°.°°.°°.°°.°°.°°.°°.°°.°°.°°.°°.°°.°°.°°.°°
Two weeks had passed. Damon's wounds had cured amazingly fast even with the rough-twelve-hours-of-training torture to deal with.
I must say, I was impress with Damon's progress, his fighting skills have increased even my dad was blown away. He'd done in two weeks what any other vampire took half a year to achieve. He was ready to advance to 'level two'. Now that he have learn how to fight and protect himself; it was time for some real vampire/supernatural being fight.
On Damon's free time, we've managed to search for valuable information that might help us found Elena's real murderer.
Right know we were about to cross to the human's world. We had decided to wait some weeks before crossing without asking for permission. Now that he was finally allowed to drink blood and packed up with fighting skills, he was strong enough to cross to the human's world safely.
"Please remember me why are we doing this?" He asked anxiously.
"To find some clues, any witnesses or proves that might assure us there is someone else involve"
"Are you sure no one is going to found out?" Damon asked looking behind his back and down the rooftop of the castle. It was almost midnight and the surroundings of the castle were empty and dark.
"Everyone is very busy at this hour to even notice our disappearance" I assured him. I remembered how Meredith and I used to sneak out of our rooms and went up and down when we were younger, before she got married.
"Ok then, let's do it"
"Remember to hold my hand and don't let it go, otherwise the transportation spell won't work"
"Why don't we just fly? This witchy thing is unnerving" He ran a hand through his black hair.
"It's faster this way, besides I always wanted to try this spell before"
"So this is the first time you try it?!"
I let out a low laugh, his worry face was cute.
I found myself surprised of my suddenly mood change. I've never thought I'll feel this way again after the marriage. Even Damon seemed surprised.
I cleared my throat and began to focus on the spell. I closed my eyes. "Hold my hand?" I kind of asked him.
He silently obeyed and took my hand.
The moment our skin touched, I felt an electric source running from my hand thorough my whole body.
I tried to focus on the spell and not on Damon's warm and soft hand holding mine...
Focus Bonnie! I scolded myself and started picturing the place where I wanted to go in my mind.
Suddenly I felt the floor underneath us change and the whole atmosphere around us turned from a warm spring night to a breezy and cold one.
"I can't believe it!" Damon exclaimed breathlessly.
I opened my eyes not to see if the spell has worked, but to contemplate Damon's glowing and smiling breathtaking face.
I felt my heart shrink. I've never seen him this excited before.
"Look! That's my old crappy department" He exclaimed and went closer to an old-full with graffiti painting-building dragging me along with him.
Suddenly I found myself wondering, if that simple building made him smile like that, I wondered how much happier his girlfriend made him. Now I felt sorry and a bit of sympathy for Elena. She made Damon happy. I wanted to make him happy too.
From now on I promise I'll do whatever it takes to make him happy.
I promise you Elena, he'll be happy again, I won't let you down.
"Um, witch?"
I snapped out of my thoughts and realized I was still staring at Damon like a fool. "Uh, what?"
"You're still holding my hand"
I felt myself flushing furiously, "S-sorry" I muttered and drop his hand.
"Let's get inside before someone sees us" He whispered and guided the way to the three story building.
He was right, what would people think if Damon suddenly appears? Did people think he was dead? Would they blame him for Elena's dead?
We climbed the dark stairs until we reach the third floor, and stopped in front of the third door.
"I wonder if..." Damon muttered looking both sides of the door as if looking for something, "A-ha!" he exclaimed as he stuck out a key from who-knows where and unlocked the door.
We step in without problems, "It seems no one have live here after you" I assumed not because of the humid odor or the dusty furniture, but because we didn't need to be invited in.
The lights where off, so the only light came from the windows.
Damon barely heard me; he was so busy looking around the room. The apartment consisted in a living room with a small kitchen included, a bathroom and one bedroom.
When Damon went straight to his room, I had a look at the abandoned kitchen. Even thought everything had dust, I was sure Damon was a very organized person or maybe he didn't have much to organize. I took a look at the fridge and found myself grimacing, everything was lapsed and it stunk badly. I closed the fridge immediately.
After looking everywhere I notice Damon didn't have photos at all. No family or school photos. No paintings, only the plain beige walls.
I wondered how his bedroom was; did he have posters with girls on bikinis? Or it was more of a geek room with a bunch of books tossed everywhere?
Unable of keeping my curiosity away, I stepped into Damon's room only to hold my breath. His room was as organized as the kitchen, sure it was dirty because of the time it had passed but that couldn't outshine the best organized closet I've ever seen, both the well organized shelves and desk.
But that wasn't the reason I held my breath. Damon was sitting on his bed looking to the only picture frame I've seen in the whole apartment.
He was looking at it with such a... I don't know how to name it. Love? Fond? Care?
It warmed my heart to see him like that. How his eyes shimmered...
I went and sat down next to him to discover what he was looking at.
"What's th-"
He shoved it away and stood up quickly before I ended my question. But even with ultra vampire speed, I saw what the picture was about. He and Elena smiling widely to each other.
He started searching for something in all the drawers and desk, he found a little box and opened it. It was a beautiful and shiny ring. He tossed it aside and continued his searching.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" I mumbled.
He simply shook his head, "I've found what I was looking for" he replied while he extracted a bunch of money and what looked like papers and ID's.
"Let's go" He said and left the room. Why did he need the money for?
I started following him but then stopped myself. I turned around and quickly spotted the little box resting on the floor. I went for it and for the picture frame and stuck them into my purse before heading out.
He would thank me for this, eventually.
There it was. After an hour of walking under the shadows dressed in all black, we've finally found the house.
It was big and luxurious, and I was pretty sure it looked beautiful before. Now, the house looked abandoned and unattended, it had police bands of 'Do not cross" and 'Crime scene' all over.
But that wasn't the worst, a weird air of lost and sadness surrounded the frame of the house like dust.
We walked silently until we reached the front door. Damon tried to open it. It was locked.
"You can force the lock, you know that right?" I murmured.
"I know, but I don't want the police near this house just because someone tried to break in, the alarm system's still activated"
"Is there another door? A back door or a window maybe that remains unlocked?"
"Let's find out"
We rounded the house until we reached the backyard. There was a door and he tried to open it but it was locked too. He let out a low growl.
Damon started checking the windows without much luck while I looked up at the second story of the house and then was when I saw it.
"Damon look!" I pointed to the second floor. There was a big whole in which I assumed was once a window.
"Uh and how do we get up there?"
"Now is when our vampire skills come in handy"
He frowned at me for a second and then his eyes narrowed.
"We can do it together" I offered when I noticed his hesitation. As far as I was concern, he hasn't made full use of all his vampire skills.
He shot me a confuse stare.
I offered him my hand. "I'll help you"
He thought about it for a second, and then took my hand.
"When I count to three we'll jump" I told him staring right to his black eyes. "One, two... And three"
In a blink of an eye, we were standing side to side on the second floor.
As fast as my eyes trailed all over of what was left of the room, I gasped in horror. Even Damon let out a low gasp too.
Almost every inch of the room had dried blood splattered all over, every furniture and walls were destroyed, glass scattered on the floor with more blood.
I backed away instantly to the edge, until the floor ended. Thankfully Damon was still holding my hand and I didn't fall, but I tried to free myself and run away from there. I couldn't handle the terrible atmosphere and the obnoxious reek. My psychic senses were screaming at me to get out of there.
"Hey, calm down!" He whispered in an anxious tone before pulling me into a tight embrace. I couldn't take out the horrendous image out of my head.
I started sobbing quietly against his chest. His body felt tense and a little shaky.
I wondered how he was taking in all of this and suddenly felt guilty and selfish. He was probably feeling worse than me.
But he was hugging me as if he needed something to hold onto so he wouldn't break down too.
I obliged myself to be more rational and brave. We needed to end what we have started.
He broke our embrace and we both were a bit more relaxed.
"You don't have to see this again; this was a bad idea... Let's head back" He said casting a glance around once again.
I leveled my eyes to his, trying cautiously to only look up at him and nowhere else.
His facial expression was severe and hard.
"We can't go, I told you I was going to help you and I'm not leaving until I give you some answers" My eyes were watery but full with determination.
"What kind of answers we can find? The police already checked everything"
"Believe me there are things police would never found here" I assure him "I can seek Elena's aura, after a death like hers a part from her must probably have stayed here" A shiver ran down my back when I said those last words.
He frowned at me but did not argue he managed to get me some candles and a clean place on which I could do the spell.
I stuck out the photography and the ring I have collected from Damon's apartment, these personal items are fundamental for the spell.
Damon raised his brows at me confused, "How-"
"I thought they'll be useful someday" I muttered before he ended his question.
I lit the candles and started chanting under my breath.
"Umm... Bonnie?" Damon interrupted me when I was on the middle of the chant, "What exactly are you going to do?"
"I'm going to open up myself so Elena's soul can talk to you through my body" When I said that I felt how my body trembled unconsciously. It really sounded creepy but I was pleased with how firm I sounded.
"She's going to posses you?" He exclaimed.
"Kind of, and that is why you need to hurry and ask her essential things only because the more time it passes other mourning souls nearby can have access to me" I trembled again but this time very conscious of what I was about to do, "Please be fast"
He nodded a bit overwhelmed and then I started chanting again.
As I said the last words of the chant I fell how I was been stripped from every limb of my body until I couldn't move at all, I have confined my soul into my brain, the last organ I was still in charge of.
Then immediately I felt an intruder taking command of the rest of my body.
"Damon? Oh my God!" Someone was talking through my mouth.
It took a long minute for Damon to react.
"E-elena? Is that really yo-you?" Damon's handsome face was pale and confused.
"Yeah it's me! How-how this happened? I-I thought I was dead, wait... This is not my body" The intruder was looking and touching my body. This was so weird I could also feel her fear and horror. "Am I dreaming all of this? Is this one of those horrible nightmares?" Tears began to stroll down my cheeks, now I could feel her pain.
"No-no is not a dream," Damon got near and hugged me -or should I say Elena-; "I'm here with you this is real" he cupped my face with his soft hands while he looked straight to my eyes.
Now I've witnessed his love for Elena, I've never saw that look on his eyes before.
I felt like if a volcano of jealousy has just erupted inside of me.
Damon focus on the main subject, I sent him mentally- ask her if she remember who killed her.
His eyes widened a little when he received my message -as if he has just remembered my existence- and then he backed away from us.
"Uh, Elena do you remember who did this to you? Do you remember seeing someone else that night?"
"So is it true? I'm really dead..." My hands were grasping my head and my body was pacing back and forth around the room.
"Bon-I'm mean Elena, please I need your help we don't have much time I need you to help me find your murder" He grabbed firmly onto my shoulders so Elena could stop pacing.
"Damon you're confusing me more! What's happening?"
"Elena I'll explain everything to you later" He lied to her, "right now I need you to be strong and tell me what happened when I passed out"
"I... I was attacked by... By-I can't it's too painful" Another rush of fresh tears ran down my eyes.
"Yes-yes you can" Damon caressed my face softly, "You're strong, really strong"
"It was a big wolf... A really big wolf, it hurt so bad Damon" A sob escaped my lips and shivers ran down my back.
Whatever Elena have felt that night must have been worse than what she was sharing with me right now.
"Shhh, nothing is going to hurt you not anymore, I won't allow it"
"I-I'm remembering something else... Be-before I blacked out and the wolf left... A tall man stood out of that window" My hand was pointing to what was left of a window.
"How did the man look like, princess?"
"He was wearing dark clothes and his hair... Or at least the faint hair that was covering his head seemed blonde..."
Through my eyes appeared what it seemed like a faint piece of hers memories, it was like watching a very old and bad quality movie. I saw through her own eyes how that werewolf attacked her and Damon, when she was laying numb on the floor and then through the window she have pointed seconds ago, a man was standing just like she described him.
Suddenly remembrance hit me. That man! He looks a lot like... A lot like Klaus.
"Damon I don't want to talk about this anymore, I just want things to get back the way they were, I want to be with you please I don't want to be dead"
The hold I still had on my body started to feel less strong and my vision started to faint, I was losing control of my body.
"I'm not going to left you, princess" Damon pressed his lips on mine sweetly but demanding.
I held strong to that sweet feeling and regain the control of my body before I sealed the spell.
Damon lips were still on mine and I couldn't help but kissed back. Now I felt the emotions stronger and overwhelming.
Suddenly Damon's body went stiff and he back away roughly.
"Bonnie?"
"I-I'm sorry... I almost lost the hold of my body so I-I had to end the spell" My face flushed furiously and I couldn't look at him directly, I was too ashamed and scared.
"She's gone?" He mumbled.
I couldn't talk so I only nodded.
He fell down on his knees defeated, "Damn it! I should have been the dead one and not her! They were after me they were supposed to kill me" He perforated the floor with his fist with angriness.
My previous stupor vanished instantly, "No Damon, they weren't after you that night, he didn't want you dead he was just trying to hurt you by making you witness Elena's brutal death"
I've got his full attention now, "What are you saying?" He stood up and came to stand a few inches away from me; I shuddered under the hatred of his eyes. "WHO wanted to hurt me, witch? Do you know who this guy is? If you do tell me-tell me before I lose my temper, TELL ME!" He grasped my shoulders and began shaking me brusquely.
I gasped in pain but manage to speak, "You're hurting me, Damon" tears of pain clouded my vision. He wasn't loosing the hold on me, I groaned "It was Klaus ok?! He ordered Matt to kill your girlfriend!"
"What? That leech? What makes you think he is the one? They are tons of blonde and tall bloodsuckers!"
"I recognize him from Elena's memories, now please let go off me before I lose my arms" I breathed out.
"Sorry" He apologized dryly and let me free. I moaned a little and stroke my aching shoulders.
"Did I hurt you bad?" He asked me with concern and guiltiness.
"You almost broke my bones" I muttered with a hint of resentment.
He stroke his forehead roughly, "I'm sorry I really am it's just that... This has been really hard for me... And God! I need to kill that bastard!" He made an attempt to jump off the house, but I grabbed onto his arm tightly.
"Damon don't! You can't kill him, at least not now"
He frowned at me exasperated, "And when would be the right time, Bonnie? When he kills another person I care deeply for? Sorry but I'm out of those he have killed the last and only person I have cared for in a long time"
I let his arm fall free and looked away from him.
His words had hurt me even more than what I felt while witnessed how he looked and loved Elena.
"You're right, go ahead and kill him do it for Elena" I turned my back on him and jumped off the house walking fast as I felt hot tears falling down my face.
"Bonnie! Bonnie wait" I heard him shout as he ran after me and grabbed me by the arm, "Hey why are you crying?"
"Let go off me" I shook off his hand and continued my pace.
He planted himself in front of me with supernatural speed.
"Did I say something to hurt you?" He appeared genuinely puzzled.
"You know that's the problem with men, they don't give a damn if they hurt people with their words" I raised my chin up high, right now I didn't care if I was disrespecting my so called husband, "in fact; in your case you not only just hurt me with your words, but with your actions too"
He appeared speechless, "I don't understand... I didn't know-"
"You know what?" I snapped at him, "I'm tired of trying to be a wife for you, I'm tired of you treating me like I don't deserve you... well GUESS WHAT? You don't deserve me"
I wiped the tears off my face furiously as I walk-passed him and felt how everything inside of me was ripping apart. "I can't believe I have dreamed that someday we could form a family, that you could be the father of my children... I can't believe I have fallen in love with you Damon Salvatore"
"Bonnie I-"
That was the last thing I heard from him before everything went black.
