Chapter 21:
Bonnie was annoyed, seeing Katharine hadn't really helped. She could feel Damon watching her as she fidgeted in her seat. He hadn't said anything to her since they left Katharine's and for that she was grateful. She needed to think.
Damon pulled up to a hotel just outside of New York.
"Let's go find a room then we can talk." He said as he opened the car door for her.
Bonnie nodded and took his hand following him into the hotel. Once he spoke to the women on the front desk he took her to their room.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
Bonnie sighed as she sat down on their bed.
"I thought going to see Katharine would help but it just made me more confused than ever." Bonnie replied.
She felt the bed shift as he sat down next to her. He laced his fingers through hers.
"I'm sorry." Damon said softly.
Bonnie was annoyed and tired. She was tired of having to be so strong. She sagged and rested her head on Damon's shoulder. He sighed as he wrapped his arm round her.
"What do you want to do now?" Damon asked after a while of them siting there in silence.
"Find Matthew?" he suggested.
"What am I going to say when we I see him? Hi I'm your great great whatever it is granddaughter and I need your help to take out the man who turned you into what you are." Bonnie replied sarcastically.
"But what other choice do we have? Ask Klaus?" Bonnie continued.
She felt Damon freeze.
"Like hell are you doing that." Damon shouted.
Bonnie looked up at him and he looked back. He was worried she could see ever emotion his face. He normally hide his emotions from everyone but right now as she looked up at him and he looked down at her she could see everything he felt; tired, sad worried and love. It surprised her but she didn't look away. Damon had been amazing the last few days better then she had ever imagined and slowly somewhere along the line she had begun to fall for him. She just hoped he didn't break her heart.
Damon bent down slowly and captured her lips. He lifted her to sit on his lap so he could be nearer to her. He broke the kiss.
"I's serious Bonnie stay away from Klaus. I don't won't him anywhere near you." He told her placing his forehead on hers.
She kissed him softly.
"Ok." She said and she got of his lap.
"What are you doing?" he asked as she searched the hotel room's drawers.
"Looking for a map to do the locator spell." His little witch informed him.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Damon asked as he handed her a map he found in the first draw he opened.
His little witch stopped and looked at him.
"No, not really but I need to do something." She replied.
Damon nodded.
She cut her finger, the smell of his witch's blood was intoxicating, and it always has been. All witches blood was but there was something different about his witch's blood that made her want it more and more.
Damon knew he needed to feed before they left to wherever this location spell would lead them but he didn't want to leave her.
"New Jersey." His little witch said.
Damon nodded.
"Go." She whispered.
Damon smiled. She knew him better than most people. Over the years they had spent so much time together.
"What about you?" he asked.
She smiled.
"I'm ok. I promise." She replied.
"I'm going to skim through the rest of Emily's diary before we see Matthew I want to be prepared." She added.
Damon nodded he understood.
"Be careful," she whispered like she had done the night before.
Damon kissed her gently. Those words were starting to mean a lot to him.
He left to feed again not going far. On his way back he called Stefan, if she was going to be prepared so was he.
"What's wrong?" Stefan answered.
"What do you remember about the time Emily was pregnant?" Damon asked.
FLASHBACK;
Damon walked in the garden trying to gather his thoughts. He loved his brother but he was also in love with Katharine and the idea of losing her to him was not something that he felt he could cope with.
Damon walked to the small pond in their garden. That's where he heard it.
"I wish I could tell the truth." A feminine voice whispered through what sounded like tears.
Damon moved quicker until he saw who the voice belonged too.
Emily was Katharine's ladies maid. She was petit black women with long dark hair; it was the first time Damon had seen her hair down. She was beautiful; her dark eyes were warm and friendly. She sat underneath a tree her hand resting upon her swallowing stomach. Emily was about five months into her pregnancy but Damon still thought she worked too hard.
"Are you well?" Damon asked as he approached her.
Emily looked up. Tears ran down from her eyes. She stood up quickly and whipped her eyes when she heard him before placing a smile on her face and looking at him.
"Forgive me," she started.
"I didn't hear you." She continued.
"Please sit back down you looked peaceful I don't want to disturb you." Damon replied.
Now he was closer he could see her tiredness.
"No its ok I must get back to Miss Katharine," she said.
"Well allow me to walk back with you?" Damon suggested and she nodded.
The walk back to the house was quite.
"Mr Damon, have you been well?" Emily asked sparing him out of his thoughts.
Damon smiled.
"Yes thank you Emily, how have you been?" Damon replied.
"I'm a little tired." She confused.
"There you are Emily, I was getting worried." Katharine called from the house.
Damon looked over at Katharine and smiled before turning to face Emily. She was watching Katharine. Damon watched her surprised by her face; normally she looked at her like Katharine was the greatest person alive now Emily looked at Katharine with hate. She must of sense him looking at her because she went back to her normally smile.
"Forgive me Miss Katharine I was lost in my own thoughts I did not mean to worry you." Emily replied as she had rehearsed it.
Katharine looked between him and Emily.
"Are you ok?" his brother asked Emily as she quickly placed a hand on her stomach.
Katharine looked over at Emily her eyes wide.
Emily laughed, it was a pretty sound.
"What is it?" his brother asked again, light confusion and laughter in his eyes.
Emily smiled at him.
"Forgive me; it's just the baby it's moving." Emily said.
Emily took both his and his brothers hands and gently placed them upon her abdomen. They waited for a few moments before Damon laughed lightly as he felt a little poke on his hand. His brother laughed also.
"That's amazing." Stefan said.
Damon watched Emily as the smile fell from her face as she looked over at Katharine.
"Forgive me I shouldn't have done that." Emily said.
"There is nothing to forgive that's amazing." Stefan replied.
Emily still looked down.
"Honestly Emily, Stefan's right there is nothing to forgive my brother and I were honoured to feel such an experience." Damon added and Emily smiled lightly before nodding.
END OF FLASHBACK.
"Emily looked tired a lot then." Damon remembered.
"That was when Katharine and Emily were disappeared a lot during the day." Stefan added.
"I wonder where they went." Stefan said more to himself then to him.
Damon said his goodbyes before putting the phone down and heading back towards the hotel room.
Damon opened the door and found his little witch curled up a sleep the dairy tossed aside. Damon smiled to himself before joining her.
