Damon Logic

A.N: I was listening to the Demons by Imagine dragons and it put me in the mood to write this chapter, I have deprived you guys of Bamon for two chapters straight, yes I know I'm evil…but it was necessary, but the Bamon drought is over so sit back and enjoy…

Chapter 27

Bonnie woke up with a gasp and searched around the dark room frantically. She shrieked when a hand shot out of the darkness and grabbed her shoulder but calmed down when she saw the blue eyed vampire.

"Damon? what the hell is wrong with you?!" she asked grabbing her pillow and hitting him with repeatedly with it.

He groaned annoyed and grabbed the pillow from her.

"Well, I was trying to sleep until you woke me up screaming and decided to assault me with a pillow" he said turning on the bedside lamp and turning to face her with a raised eyebrow.

She took a deep breath to calm her accelerated heartbeat and pushed her bangs out of her face.

"Hey, you ok? You look a little…spooked" he asked sitting down next to her on her bed.

"I'm fine, I just…had an intense dream." She said resting a hand on her slowing heart.

"About what?" He asked going to lay down next to her on the bed with his hands behind his head.

"I…I'm not sure" she said but sighed when he rolled his eyes in annoyance "It was cold, and it was…dark. It was a memory, I was supposed to be staying over at my grams house that night, when my dad came to pick me up. I remember hiding behind the couch while they argued" she said looking at him as he visibly stiffened. "I was about six years old, and I remember that day I was crying to grams about how the other kids made fun of my height, I was a lot smaller than the other kids and they made sure I knew it. Anyway my grams called my dad because I was so upset and asked him if I could stay over and he said yes, but I guess he changed his mind because he came to get me.

I didn't wanna go so I went and hid behind the couch while grams tried to convince him to let me stay. But they started arguing and my dad was shouting at my grams so loud that I got scared and ran off" she said pulling her knees to her chest.

"I remember running into the woods, and falling I guess that's when I realised I didn't know where I was. I was so scared and it was so dark and cold that I started crying and I guess a stranger must've heard me because he picked me up and carried me home. I remember thinking that he must've been one of those superheroes Matt always told me about because he was so fast and…" she stopped talking as a realisation came over her, she looked into his eyes and the memory of Damon compelling her to forget him saving her hit her like a ton of bricks.

"You compelled me?!" she yelled outraged and punched him in the arm.

"Ow!,I couldn't let you go blabbing to your witchy grandma about some stranger with super speed saving you from the woods, so I compelled you into thinking you were in your front yard the whole time" he said shrugging and dodging the textbook she threw at his head.

"You compelled a six year old?!" she yelled giving him an aneurism making him wince.

"Hey Damon, what's with the glasses?" Betty asked from her seat at the kitchen island while pouring milk into her rice crispy's enjoying the snap, crackle and pop.

He ignored her and stepped around Bridget to grab the cup of warm blood offered from Bianca.

"Mom says there's trouble in paradise" Alice said taking her seat next to Betty with an amused smile as she poured cereal into her bowl.

"Really?" Betty asked intrigued as she passed the milk to Alice completely missing the way Damon's jaw clenched.

"Yeah, now I don't want to speculate, but it looks like the two are heading to Splitsville" Alice continued pouring milk into her bowl completely missing the way Damon tightened his grip on the cup.

However the shrill of his phone snapped him out of his murderous thoughts.

"Sherriff" he answered in a bored tone but soon grew tense when he heard her speak.

….

"Just missed the doughnuts" Damon said when he caught Stefan entering the hospital in his peripheral vision.

"Yeah I was with Elena burning off a few hate filled calories" Stefan answered wearily as his brother walked toward him.

"Still? I thought she was over the whole revenge thing after our little heart to heart" Damon said raising a confused eyebrow.

"Yeah, she's trying but she's struggling with Katherine being around 24/7, what happened to you helping me?" Stefan asked amused as he looked around for Sherriff Forbes.

Damon snorted and looked around for the blonde Sherriff as well.

"Help? Yes, prolong the inevitable? Waste of my time" he said rolling his eyes in boredom.

"Hm you're avoiding" Stefan said smirking "How unexpected" he said sarcastically.

Damon almost laughed at his brother's judgmental joke but decided not to as the headache Bonnie gave him still lingered behind his eyes.

"I'm not avoiding, I just don't think preaching to my ex-girlfriend about anger management would be the smartest idea right now or…like ever" He said rubbing his temples so the pain could disappear.

"Hey guys" Sherriff Forbes greeted from behind Stefan. "Thanks for coming" she said as they turned to face her.

"Why were we invited?" Damon asked as she looked around nervously.

"Well the hospital has kept the blood banks empty ever since they were raided last month, we thought at the very least they would help keep the vampire population away" she said looking up at them expectantly.

"And, it didn't?" Stefan asked glancing at Damon.

"See for yourself" she said leading the way to a hospital room as they followed.

They walked into the room and found a dead patient on the hospital bed completely drained of blood.

"There are eleven other victims in this wing all completely drained of blood, you think its Silas?" she asked not noticing the way Stefan clenched his jaw.

"Or a doctor with very questionable bedside manners" Damon said snapping his fingers in front of Stefan's face.

"But, twelve victims? That's a lot of blood, and it's not like he could take it with him." She said not convinced.

"Unless….it's not Silas at all" Stefan said sighing and crossing his arms across his chest.

"You have got to be kidding me" Damon said as the realisation came over him.

"Looks like their M.O" Stefan said looking at the bite marks on the victims wrists.

"Any details would be helpful considering I'm dealing with twelve grieving families waiting out there, an ancient coven and a psychic killer on the loose" she said waiting for an answer.

"The Phoenix want Bonnie and her cousins to hand themselves over so they can drop the veil" Damon said sarcastically.

"I have no idea what that means" she said in a 'duh' tone.

"It's an invisible wall that separates our plane from the plane of all supernatural dead creatures" he answered in a bored tone " Silas wanted Bonnie to use expression to make it go away so he could take the cure, die and not end up in a supernatural purgatory. We thought that we avoided that problem when we got Bonnie off the expression but in a plot twist Joshua found a way to combined his powers with theirs in order to bring his dead parents back" he facial features changing from bored to vengeful.

"And when do you suppose he wants to do this?" she asked.

"Next full moon…tonight" Damon answered clenching his jaw at the thought. 'This plan better work' he thought to himself as he left the hospital room.

Bonnie realised that she should've been packing her survival kit like Alice suggested but she couldn't for the life of her move away from the spot by the window or put down the picture she had been staring at for the past half an hour.

Doubts flooded her mind as she stared at her grandmother's smiling face. What if she wasn't strong enough? What if someone got hurt trying to protect her? Now she seemed to know what it felt like to be in Elena's shoes, having everyone band around to protect her and her cousins made her feel important but it also put her in a position where she felt powerless to protect everyone.

"What's taking you so long?" Damon asked stepping impatiently into her room and found her standing by her window with a picture of her family in her hand.

"Oh yeah I'm coming" Bonnie said, startled, hurriedly wiping tear from her eye before turning to face him with a smile, a sad smile.

"Hey, I told you I'd protect you remember?" he said walking toward her with a determined look on his face, before breaking out into an amused grin. "Quite frankly I feel insulted, that you don't think my plan will work" he said pouting while taking the photo from her hand and putting it in his jacket pocket.

"Give that back Damon, I'm not in the mood for your jokes and I'm still mad at you" she said defiantly planting a hand on her hip and the other stretched out to receive the picture.

"Always holding a grudge" he said sighing and stepping closer to her making her step back "Do you ever get tired?" he asked seriously lifting her chin with his hand and searching her face.

"Of you?" she asked teasingly "Never" she finished stepping around him and walking toward her door as he smirked.

"I'm still mad at you though" she said with a short wave leaving her room, her photo long forgotten.

"Everyone remember their flashlights?" Bianca asked as the wind at the entrance of the caves picked up.

Caroline, Betty and Alice shook theirs in the air eagerly while everyone else just nodded.

"Ok, let's go" she said eyeing the camping gear David and Bridget carried on their backs before turning and entering the cave.

"Urg this place reeks of wet dog" Katherine said grimacing "I think I'll just wait out here" she mumbled to herself as everyone else entered the cave.

Bonnie turned around and smirked before glancing curiously at Betty who just shrugged and kept walking.

"Clearly you don't know how this works" she said rolling her eyes at the doppelgänger before continuing into the caves alongside Damon using her powers to pull Katherine behind her.

"This place is so creepy" Caroline said turning on her flashlight and keeping close to Stefan who just smiled reassuringly.

"You think this place is creepy, have you ever been on an excavation in the underground tombs in Egypt?" Alice asked looking around the caves using her flashlight to see clearly. When Caroline shook her head she continued her story.

"When I was 13 and my mom had just gotten over her broken heart with her new boyfriend on her side, she went through a little phase where she wanted to travel the world and learn different kinds of magic. It was great until we visited Egypt, great place until you decide to go digging around in ancient tombs." She said rolling her eyes at her mother's sheepish expression. "Anyway, needless to say this is a walk in the park compared to that" biting her bottom lip at the memories.

"But it was so much fun" Ruby said defensively "Besides if I remember correctly it's where you first used your powers young lady, so a simple thank you would be nice" she said raising her nose in triumph.

"I was running for my life!" Alice yelled angrily surprising everyone including the bats on the ceiling of the tunnels.

They were so startled that they descended on the gang. Damon scowled at the bats and waved them off while the girls squealed and flailed their arms trying to chase the bats away.

All the girls that is, besides Bonnie, Rebekah and Bridget who just looked curiously at the others.

When the bats flew away, the girls breathed a sigh of relief while Stefan, Matt and David chuckled in amusement. They continued their trek through the tunnels in search of Joshua while the girls scolded Stefan and Matt leaving Bonnie and Damon to trail behind.

"Not afraid of bats Judgy?" Damon asked and Bonnie didn't have to shine the flashlight on his face to know that he was smirking.

"Not unless the stories are true and they do turn into vampires" she said rolling her eyes knowing he could see.

"Hey, you never know" he said shrugging then stepped in front of her making her sigh.

"What now Damon?" she asked in a disinterested voice.

"You still mad at me?" he asked and Bonnie could've sworn she saw him bite his lower lip in anticipation. She decided it must have been her imagination, because a) Damon doesn't get anxious and b) It was too dark to be sure.

"You compelled me" she deadpanned and started to step around him but he gently grabbed her arm and moved her back in place.

"Do you always answer a question by stating the obvious?" he asked smirking but stopped when he noted her angry stance "Ok, I'm sorry that I compelled you when you were six, I honestly thought I was doing a good deed" he apologised like it was a big chore but Bonnie could sense his sincerity.

"Will you let me by if I accept your half assed apology?" she asked her voice brimming with amusement.

He smirked and stepped out of her way allowing her to pass.

"For the record that apology wasn't half assed, It was chick flick material" He said walking behind her, at which she laughed sarcastically.

"Might wanna work on it some more Romeo" she said walking in front of him completely aware that he was staring at her butt.

….

Joshua and Andy sat cross legged across each other and started chanting the spell making the flames in the candles that surrounded them reach up into the ceiling of the cave.

The ground shook and the entrance of the cave closed. Jamal stopped his argument with a female vampire and looked over at Joshua and Andy who looked exhausted but kept chanting making the ground tremble even more. They could hear rocks and boulders falling throughout the tunnels.

"What are they doing?" the female vampire asked frowning at the shaking ground.

"Making sure no one leaves before Joshua gets what he wants" Jamal answered clenching his jaw.

"And why exactly are we doing a little kids bidding?" she asked glaring at the pair on the ground.

"He got permission from Leo to lead on this mission" Jamal answered shrugging as they stopped chanting and the candles went out.

"I don't know Jamal, don't you think if Leo knew we were this close to getting the trinity that he'd want to be here to take them back himself?, this whole thing seems kinda fishy to me" she said as Andy and Joshua got up and lit lanterns around the cave.

"The pack and I are just following orders Lacy, I suggest you and the rest of the leeches do the same" Joshua said walking away, leaving Lacy to seethe at his comment.

…..

"Is everyone ok?" Matt asked helping Betty up as everyone else groaned and got up to dust themselves off.

"What was that?" Elena asked dusting herself off helping Stefan stand making Bridget raise an astonished eyebrow. 'on to the next one' she thought chuckling.

"A spell" Bianca answered touching the walls of the cave "To keep us locked in here I guess" she said shrugging.

"Wait you mean we're stuck in here?" Caroline asked in a panicky voice making Bridget smirk.

"More importantly where's Judgy?" Damon asked looking completely pissed off.

"She was with you wasn't she?" Alice asked looking around the tunnels to find Bonnie indeed missing.

"She disappeared during the rock fall, last I saw her teleporting Katherine away from a boulder" Damon said trying to think of where they could have gone.

"She's gone missing with that psycho?" Matt yelled angrily walking up to Damon who hadn't bothered to look up and regard his threatening stance.

"She's probably somewhere back there, behind the rocks" Bridget said walking up to the rocks that blocked them off from the tunnel that lead to the entrance.

"Why do you say that?" Caroline asked worriedly walking up behind her to stare at the rocks.

"She will have had to teleport to somewhere she's seen before" Bridget said trying to sense Bonnie's aura throughout the tunnels.

"Not necessarily, I mean Bianca teleports to places she's never seen all the time" Stefan said crossing his arms.

"That's a gift only Bianca has perfected I'm afraid. Every witch needs to know where they going or they could end up getting stuck between dimensions. Bonnie would have teleported to a place she's seen in these tunnels before" Betty said biting her lower lip in frustration.

"So let's just retrace our steps" Matt offered stepping forward.

"In case you haven't noticed prom king, there's a giant wall blocking our way and a spell making it impossible for us to break through, am I right?" Damon asked angrily turning to face Bianca who was staring at the rocks with a thoughtful expression.

"You felt it too then?" she asked still staring at the wall as Damon nodded gravely.

"Then its settled" she said turning around and grabbing her backpack, "We go around" she said walking toward a tunnel next to the blocked one.

"What are you people waiting for? an invitation?" Damon asked angrily as he turned to follow Bianca making everyone scramble for their bags and follow behind the two.

"Geez what's his problem?" Alice asked her mother in a low voice.

"His girlfriend just went missing with his murderous ex-girlfriend; I can see why he would be a little upset" Ruby said shrugging completely missing Elena's surprised face.

A.N: Short chapter I know but I had to stop here. I feel like this chapter sucked? It probably did but I tried guys I really did. Where did Bonnie and Katherine disappear to? Damon seems freaked out poor guy. Let me know what you think? Review? review? review? review?.
