~ Our dirty little secret ~

This FF takes place after Season 2 Episode 2 and it will probably swerve away from what happened in the show into an alternative reality.

AN: I know i said i would disappear from FF for this month but this story was nagging me so much to be published that i *had to* acquiesce. Since i have been a good little artist and finished one painting and started a new one, i though i could give in :)

Disclaimer: I do not own TVD only the twisted plot.


"Yeah well, maybe I'm tired of your not so veiled treats witchy!" - Damon growled at Bonnie who was so angry herself that she couldn't find enough sense to cower away from the seething murderous vampire.

Elena watched with dread the confrontation between her best friend and Damon not knowing who to be more afraid for.

"You don't scare me Damon." - Bonnie's voice was hard and steely as she stood her ground - " And it is your stupid fault that Caroline is a vampire!" – she bellowed back at him.

"Because YOU manipulated me into give her my blood. So this one is on you missy!"

Bonnie glared at him, her stance filled with self-righteousness. Suddenly, Damon winced and crumbled to the ground bringing his hands to his head as a sharp pain burst through his brain as Bonnie exacted her revenge by giving him an instant aneurism.

"I'm just about DONE with you witchy." - Damon snarled menacing – "Any last wishes before I rip your righteous throat?"- he hissed, his eyes darkening and his fangs extending.

"Damon no!" - Elena screeched.

She hurriedly placed herself between him and Bonnie. Hoping her human body would shield him from Bonnie's magic and stop him from doing something that would make her hate him forever. Elena's brain tried to point out that her actions should have been motivated by a need to protect her friend Bonnie above all else not... Elena shrugged the thought away in favor of focusing in the matter at hand. Well, the matter under her hands she thought as she pressed her palms on Damon's hard, well defined abs.

Damon cocked his head to better look at Elena. His features returned to normal, but his eyes still burnt with anger as he spoke to her eerily calm.

"I would stop that if I were you Elena." - his voice was velvety but there was menace in every syllable making Elena instinctively break contact with his body, but she didn't move an inch away from him.

"Please Damon, don't hurt Bonnie." – she pleaded with her brown eyes – "She is talking nonsense be..."

"I am NOT talking nonsense Elena." - Bonnie interrupted.

"Yes you fucking are Bonnie. " - Elena looked back at her friend glaring furiously - "Now shut the fuck up."

Damon looked at Elena curiously wondering what had gotten into the normally sunny side up girl. When she turned towards him her eyes were so intense that he would have stopped breathing if he were human.

"Damon…" - she pleaded again, placing a placating hand against his heart -" We know that Caroline is only alive as such because of you and I will always be thankful for that. So please, please don't do anything that will force me hate you forever." - Elena begged with her words and eyes and then mumbled very quiet so only his vampire ears could hear - "I couldn't bear to hate you, please, don't do this."

To say that Damon was intrigued would be the understatement of the century. Her words trapping him into deep thought as the vampire tried to decipher the meaning behind them by staring deep into Elena's doe eyes. Elena returned his stare, her hand sinking further over his heart, her breath fanning over his face.

Sensing Damon's distraction, a still vengeful Bonnie started muttering a spell. Elena and Damon were so caught up in each other's gaze that they only realized what the witch was doing when there was a violent gust of wind. Before they could understand what was happening, Damon's body was lifted up mid air, his back arching as he started screaming in soul splitting agony. Elena looked at him helplessly, dazedly, until she realized that his predicament was Bonnie's doing. With a primeval screech, Elena immediately pounced on the witch, making her stop the spell by the sheer force of the impact of Elena's body against her mid section. Before Elena could give Bonnie a piece of her mind she heard an inhuman gurgle behind her. In horror, Elena turned to see Damon's limp body on the floor, still as death. She pushed herself from Bonnie and ran to Damon's side, falling to the floor and throwing her arms around him, capturing Damon into the safety of her embrace.

Elena checked him over, up and down, looking for signs that her friend hadn't killed him. Not an easy task since Damon didn't have a beating heart or needed to breathe. So Elena looked for wounds, caressed his face, tidied up his hair and clothes expectantly.

She was so engrossed in her examination that she didn't notice Bonnie approaching until she saw her shadow looming over them. Elena looked up at her friend enraged.

"What did you do to him?" - she whispered angrily trying to fight the spilling tears in her eyes.

"He needs to learn a lesson."- Bonnie replied in a hard voice, but seeing the pain in her friends eye - "He will be fine, it is only temporary so that he has a chance to learn Elena." - she offered apologetically.

"You need to leave."- Elena said calmly turning her back to Bonnie. She took a deep breath to collect herself and continued to search Damon's face for a sign of life.

"Elena, I..." – Bonnie replied aghast.

"NOW Bonnie, you need to leave NOW." - Elena bellowed - "I can't be around you right now. GO, or I'll finish you myself."

Bonnie made to reply but Elena looked at her with so much loathing and hate that she just ran away from the pain it caused her.
