Bonnie leaves her home after showering from a very sinful night with Damon. She quickly heads to her car ready to take care of business when she hears a whoosh of air. Shoulders deflating, she turns realizing who it is before she even turns around.
"You know you didn't even stay till the sun came up...i'm hurt" Damon says with a fake pout.
Rolling her eyes, Bonnie pushes her shades on more and crosses her arms. "Yeah well there was no need to. It was just a slip up"
Grabbing her hands he pulls her close, "Bonnie" He looks down at her and gives her puppy dog eyes. "I'm sorry for the whole Katherine thing, I wanna give this a chance" Us a chance.
The intensity in his eyes makes her bite her lip looking away. She didn't know how cute she looked doing that. Damon released one of her hands and brushes her hair behind her ear and hears her heart start to race.
"I can't- I have to go" She pulls out of his hold and hops in her car as fast as she could. Without another word, she pulls off and he watches her drive away. Running a hand through his hair, he tugs at it and curses.
He really fucked up.
Damon needs her, this seems too easy. They hated each other, tried friends with benefits thing, ended it, and are just supposed to act like nothing happened. Well he can't, and he won't. Walking to his car, he hops in and drives off. Bonnie Bennett will be his.
Sipping her coffee, Bonnie tastes the sweet caramel iced coffee and starts to stir it with her straw. "Thanks for seeing me" She looks up and smiles.
"It's no problem, how have you been?" Mason sits down. The waiter comes over and Mason orders a scone and asks for it to be warmed. Bonnie orders a danish with her coffee.
Sitting up straight, Bonnie pulls her shades off. Her encounter with Damon has her heart all over the place but she'll get over it. She can't fall for him more than she already has because let's face it, anyone without the doppelgänger face of his ex is not a keeper.
"I've been better, I mean... California was way better than here" She says.
He smiles showing his gap. "Your right, I came to check on Tyler, i'm glad you called though"
This makes Bonnie curious. "Oh yeah? Whats going on?"
Mason looks around before leaning forward. "I'm afraid this cult is after Tyler. They want him to join them because of him being a hybrid"
Alarmed, Bonnie lowers her voice too. "Do they happen to be the Silver Dawn?"
Eyes raising in shock, Mason nods. "How do you-"
"I'm a witch, remember" She jokes. "How do you know that they're after him?"
Taking out a piece of paper, he shows it to her. The paper is blank though. Mason grabs one of her hands and puts it over the paper. "Feel that?" It was magic.
She nods and he guided her fingers across the page. "It's a hidden message, close your eyes"
So she does...
Opening her eyes, Bonnie stares ahead. There's some sort of meeting going on with a stage and curtains. There's a man at the podium with a cloak and he steps forward. "We must make our group stronger, what better way then to take the first successful hybrid to be created! With his werewolf and vampire abilities, we can use him as an anchor, to gain strength"
The crowd starts to cheer and clap and Bonnie sits up looking around. Everyone is wearing cloaks just as the man on stage and she grips the arm rests.
"But first, we must show him that we are not possessed of evil, but we provide loyalty, strength, and power. Unlike the so called packs he has had over the years. The next full moon we will show him"
A gasp leaves her and she stares down at the page wide eyed. "What's wrong?"
"I didn't see the message, I saw a vision. They're coming for Tyler, at the next full moon"
Masons eyes flash amber, "What?!" He lowers his voice when they gain stares. "No, the message said that they requested that he join them and listed some stupid benefits"
The two ignore their hands still united and the warmth they feel. "The next full moon is in two weeks, we can use that time to find a way to protect him and find out more about them. They won't take him, Mason"
Their eyes lock and trust develops between them. Nodding, Mason pulls away. "So what did you want to talk to me about?"
"I was hoping that you could help me with this cult. I know your a werewolf and how packs are a big deal for you guys. I was thinking that the Silver Dawn enlists werewolves from different packs in a way that doesn't look too suspicious. They must do some sort of secret meeting or messages. Have a form of contact no one knows about unless your a werewolf. Then I was thinking they also target people who want to be apart of a pack and who don't have any family" She rambles.
Listening, Mason has to agree that that's smart. "So your saying what?"
Their pastries arrive so they get quiet. When the waiter is gone, Bonnie bites into her danish. "I'm saying, that you've been packless and so is Tyler. You guys are kinda like pack orphans. The key to getting them is for them to come to you. But you have to be vulnerable"
"I am vulnerable"
She shakes her head. "I can see your aura, and i'm sure their special powers can too. Your too strong- you need to make them think you give up. Your done, you just want an out or opportunity" She didn't know how else to explain it. She honestly feels like the sun, drugs, and alcohol made her brain mush.
"How do I do that?"
Taking out her notebook, she writes something down before passing it to him. "Based off of how strong and dominant your personality is, you can't. But there's a spell. I'm gonna get it from the ancestors tonight, so meet me here at two-thirty in the morning. That's the best rotation that the moon is with the sun. It'll give me the boost I need on the spell."
This was the best plan she had. The witches came to her in a dream informing her they can help her. And she may not trust them completely, but they need all the help they can get.
"Okay, thanks for helping me"
She throws down some bills and stands. Grabbing her bag, she smiles at Mason. "Thank you for helping me."
He smiles and she waves before heading out.
Damon throws his jacket on the hook and heads to his bar. Memories of last night with Bonnie enters his mind and he has to bite his lip.
His hands run over her curves and he lightly nips at her breast before taking a nipple into his mouth. Bonnie's a withering mess underneath him and it has him enjoying every minute of it. Her scent is all over the room, all over his sheets. He doesn't think he's gonna wash them anytime soon now.
When he enters the tight heat of her center, he feels her legs wrap around him. She guides him in and out of her in that controlling way he loves. Scratches his back and grips his shoulders tightly for dare life. Then she switched the position. Riding him, pinching his nipples as she whispers dirty things to him.
Damon curses when he spills bourbon all over his hands. He quickly sets the bottle down and starts to clean up. In that moment he has to roll his eyes because his brother enters the room studying him.
"Yes, dear engaged brother of mine?" He glances at Stefan with a eyebrow raised.
Crossing his arms, Stefan pokes out his bottom lip. "I don't know, why don't you tell me?"
Damon looks up at him. "I was waiting for my weekly interrogation. Guess we gotta catch up since we haven't been in the same room for months" He jokes sitting down.
Stefan joins him on the other sofa. "Your up to something aren't you?"
"What? Lil ol' me? Never" Damon waves a hand.
"Why did Bonnie leave in the middle of the night? I didn't even know she was still here" Stefan points out. He thought all the guest went home and didn't bother checking the house since it sounded like Damon too was gone. Then he heard a noise and looked out the window to see Bonnie pulling out of the driveway.
Shit. Damon figured that witchy spelled his room but forgot all about her car. Before he seduced her, he should've stole her keys and took it back to her place so she had to ask him for a ride. The elder brother quickly thinks of a lie to tell his brother.
"Little witch was drunk off her ass. I took her to one of the guest rooms cause she wasn't safe to drive and went over Ric's" He shrugs nonchalantly.
Piercing his eyes into his brothers soul, Stefan tries to think of reasons why his brother could be lying. But instead he believes him because all the other answers can't be true.
Just the thought of Damon and Bonnie makes Stefan shake his head. It'll never happen, they're too opposite and strong headed. Plus his brother does care for Elena as more than a sister in law. Now that he thinks about it, Damon hasn't hit on Elena or purposely been in the same room as her since they all came back. The first time they interacted was for maybe five seconds at the party when he told her congratulations before walking outside.
Still, Stefan questions Damon more. "And Ric will be able to vouch for you?"
Scoffing, Damon widens his eyes and nods. "Duh, cause I was there"
"Hmm" Stefan gets up. "Ok, Damon"
Looking at him suspiciously, Damon watches his brother leave. He has a feeling his brother is gonna find out sooner rather than later. Right now he can't let that happen because if he finds out then he'll tell Elena. If Elena finds out, then she'll go all protective and self centered. He really doesn't want Elena to know and not because he has feelings for her, but because she'll call what he has with Bonnie not real.
"Your using her just because you can't have me. That isn't okay, Damon"
Heading over to his bar he really makes sure he pours himself a drink this time and it stays in the cup.
Bonnie rubs her nose and stares into the mirror. Taking a deep breath, she feels her heart start to pound and closes her eyes for a second. The rush hits her head and she touches her temple lightly.
She told herself she was gonna stop for awhile now but hasn't gotten to it. There's a part of her that can't do it. So instead, she tries to do it less. Only once a day, when she's alone, and never anywhere with windows. The windows part is because of her paranoia.
Licking her lips, she leaves the bathroom. As she does she nearly jumps out of her skin at the sight. It's not her bedroom. Instead it's some dimly lit hallway with a thousand doors. She steps out of her bathroom completely and feels her feet feel heavier, the bathroom door slams and she turns.
She's losing her grip on reality.
Turning back around, she starts walking and hears whispers. Voices. They get louder the more steps she takes. Her breathing is uneven and she's curious. Wants to know what's causing this and just honestly hopes that it isn't because of the drugs. If it is, she's gonna have to find a new dealer.
"Enough Ira! I refuse to sit here and let you get hurt. Do not upset this family anymore than you have!" A accented female voice yells.
This makes Bonnie even more curious and pick up her pace. She hears the voices better at one of the doors at the end of the hallway. Twisting the knob, she slowly opens the door and peeks through. There's a mirror in her vision and a clear face infront of it. She guessed it's Ira because the other voice was a female.
"Don't upset them... Do you hear yourself?! They are the ones who took what is mine!" He steps closer to the girl and also closer to the mirror. Bonnie widens her eyes seeing his face more clearly. He's very handsome with his long dark locks and silver eyes. There's something... animalistic about him that makes her chest tighten.
The girl pushes him and she hears her heels walk to the other side of the room. "They took a stupid piece of silver from your chest. It wasn't that important. They're dangerous, Ira- if you go after them..." She falls silent.
Ira shakes his head. "I'll be fine, Kara. It's not just a stupid piece of silver, it's... it's to help me control myself."
"You mean-"
"Yes, it is the key to letting any werewolf control their transformation. It was crafted by a witch for great grandpa William, and it's been passed down ever since"
Kara sounds confused. "T-then why would they need it?"
'Bonnie!" Bonnie jumps at her name. She quickly closes the door and looks around.
"Bonnie!"
"Wake up, Bonnie!" Her green eyes open and dilate. She sits up and holds her warm chest. Getting back to reality, she looks around and sees Stefan looking down at her worried.
She opens her mouth ready to ask him what he's doing in her house when she feels thin but strong arms wrap around her. "Oh my god, Bonnie! I was so worried you weren't moving and when Stefan said you weren't breathing I-"
Elena hugs her tightly and Bonnie pats her back. She must've passed out or something. "I'm okay, Elena."
"Bonnie you were unconscious for who knows how long. And who knows how long you weren't breathing, I mean how could that happen?" Elena rambles again.
Stefan touches her shoulder comforting and Bonnie looks between the two of them. "I don't know, maybe it was what I saw"
This catches their attention. "What did you see?"
"It's hard to explain, but there was this hallway and then I heard these voices. I opened one of the doors and this guy named Ira was talking about something preventing a werewolf from turning against their will to someone named Kara" She explains it the best way she can.
Stefan puts a hand up. "Ira and Kara you said?"
She nods.
Elena looks curious. "Do you know them?"
Shaking his head, Stefan lets them know he hasn't. "Someone has to have. I'll fill Damon in and let him and Ric do some research. In the meantime, we're taking you to the hospital to make sure your okay"
Her anxiety raises at this. "No!" She quickly lowers her voice. "I mean, I can't. If there is something wrong with me it must be magic related meaning the hospital can't help me. I'll just mix up some herbs and heal my body that way"
She can't go to the hospital because then they'll find out about the drugs she's taking. When they find out, her dad will know, her friends will know, and bye bye Mystic Falls, hello rehab.
Brown eyes look at her with slight suspicion. "Are you sure, Bonnie?"
She slaps on a fake smile. "Of course, I know what i'm doing. Also- can we keep all this except the vision between us?"
Reluctantly they believe her and agree. But they don't leave her alone for a couple hours and watch her make herself some healing tea. The tea is actually for healing and will also give her a clear mind sleeping. After about two hours of Stefan and Elena smothering her, she tells them she's drowsy and wants to sleep and will see them tomorrow at the Lockwood brunch.
She lets out a breath she didn't know she was holding and heads to her room to actually go to sleep. She'll find out some answers tomorrow. Right now, she needs to rest before she does this spell to help them get one step closer to getting rid of the Silver Dawn.
If only things went so much easier for her.
Sitting down, Bonnie opens her palms and stares up into nothing. She senses the spirits around her in the witches home and closes her eyes.
The wind picks up and she tries her best to push the connection. To get through. Her body pushes and she starts to squeeze her eyes tight. As she does, she feels pain in her temple and something warm trickle down her nose.
She's bleeding already.
"Please! You have to help me. You said you had the answers!" She yells into the air.
The wind gets stronger and her braids start to move. She hears voices and they echo against the walls. They talk fast and almost mumble as she tries to decipher it.
Bonnie decides to explain. "I need your help, to getting rid of the Silver Dawn. They want to get their hands on my friend Tyler, he's the first successful hybrid! We can't let it happen, I know your mad at me but please" The voices stop.
For a while it's quiet.
"The key, she must have the key" Opening her eyes, Bonnie looks up and swallows.
Suddenly, something drops in her lap and she picks it up. A wrinkled piece of paper that feels so fragile she fears it's going to turn to dust just by touching it. It's written in cursive and latin but she can read it.
It's a spell, a spell that should help her.
Getting up she thanks them and leaves the witches home just as Mason comes into view. She jogs to him and shows him the paper. "I got it, let's go"
Without thinking she grabs his hand and leads him behind the witches home. Their energy is strong and she can feel the cool air make her shiver. The moon is at its peak and she looks at the time. Perfect.
She sets up and is shaking the whole time. Mason helps her draw the symbol because the lines weren't straight enough due to her shaking. When their all set up he looks at her worried.
"Are you sue you got this?"
"I'm sure. Here, sit down here and cross your legs while lacing your fingers together." Bonnie instructs before sitting across from him. She lifts the page up to look at the spell. This should draw the Silver Dawn to Mason wanting to get his attention.
With that in no time they'll find out who it is.
The usual happens as she takes the spell. The wind blows, flames dance around them, and she feels the power. It's addictive and hugs her body in that way she always loves. Something pulls at her, as a power source and she latches onto it. Messes with it to where it does her bidding, gives her the power she needs. She connects with it, it feels good, familiar.
Unbeknownst to her, her eyes flash the familiar silver and glacier blue.
Then it's done. She stops chanting cause theres no more words. Opening her eyes, she only gets to see the world for a second before everything goes black.
Mason reaches for her making sure she doesn't hit her head. He cradled it and stares down at her soft face. Blood pools out her nose and her body twitches lightly.
This can't be good...
