Chapter 2: Optimism Required

Two weeks later Klaus and I were returning from our "honeymoon" and headed to Mystic Falls Virginia. We had spent the vast amount of our traveling throughout Egypt which was so magnificently beautiful that I couldn't even fathom the correct words to describe it. I just knew that I wanted to go back to Egypt again some time during my immortal life but share it with someone had loved.

Klaus had treated me like a princess, he doted over me and anything I could ever want, he'd gladly give. For the last two weeks he had submerged me with gifts and had constantly told me, how lucky he was to steal me from the other guys. I guess to some girls that would be your dream come true but to me, it was too much, too soon. I was going to live an immortal life, so I could afford to waste time, but Klaus didn't see the point. He wanted to show me everything, now as if Paris was going somewhere. I also had to get used to the fact that now I was wealthy. Although my family was well off, we were nowhere near as rich as the original hybrid and with marriage came wealth and responsibility.

The first few days, we had spent in the luxurious honeymoon suite that Klaus had booked better acquainting us with each other on a platonic level. The suite was amazing, as it was the size of two suites put together. The room had been decorated with gold and black just about everywhere and the lavishness was not lost on me. Klaus had really pulled out all the stops and it had reminded me of what he said to me on our wedding night.

Flashback

"You don't look too happy." He said causing me to spin around. I had been looking out the nearby window wondering if I had made the right decision. In the back of my mind I had hoped the Salvatore brothers would steer me in the right decision, however they hadn't and now I was left feeling like I had made a mistake. I felt like I had jumped into things and now I was left with this mess I had created.

"I was just thinking." I say playing with a necklace that my grandmother had given me. She had claimed it was supposed to link me with my guardians as they had their day walking rings, I had a necklace that would serve as a reminder of our bond. Although the Salvatore brothers were vampires and I a witch, I had always been told that three of us were kindred and that I was made just for them.

He nods his head while he places his hands deep into his pockets. Everyone had gone leaving the two of them alone before they board his private plane for their honeymoon. She was beautiful, so young, so inexperienced in the way of life but he planned on showing her everything. In two strides he was kneeling down in front of her. His hand brushed against her bare leg. " Love, I know that this isn't real for you. You don't love me-but I will do everything in my power to make you happy." He says, his rose colored lips forming a smile. "All I ask is that you give me a chance." He says kissing the side of her knee.

I offered him the best smile I could under the circumstances. I wanted to give him reassurance but I couldn't get the words out. It appears I don't have to say a word because soon his big hands brush my dress higher revealing my thigh and it's then that he starts to trail kisses higher and higher till he reaches the apex of my thighs. I watch as he licks his red lips and in a flash his mouth is on me. My hand tugs in his blond hair as my breathing hitches in my throat. I want to tell him that I could grow to love him but the words are stuck in my throat as he swipes his tongue. I hold vaguely hear the sound of raindrops as I grip his head and I can't help but wonder if his previous witches crying.

End of flashback

Before I knew it, we had arrived to our destination which was Mystic Falls Virginia. Once the pilot had announced we were about to land I had snapped out of my thoughts. We had been traveling for what it felt like days and I was eager to get to my new home and be on familiar ground. My grandmother had lived in Mystic falls and I wanted nothing more then to go to her home and be surrounded by all of her things, it would make me feel closer to her and I needed that.

"How long have I been out?" I ask stretching my limbs once we land. My canary yellow shirt rides up my midriff and I can feel eyes on me, as Klaus all but drinks me in. The look in his eyes reminds me of the first time we had ever hooked up, which was after my family had passed. We were both in a bad place he was getting over some girl who he felt was his kindred spirit and it kind of just happen, in the bathroom at her favorite place. It had lasted long enough to leave a simmer underneath my skin but not enough to make me want to delve back into things without caution, especially since I now knew he had feelings for me.

"Not that long." He says his eyes lingering on the flat tan skin of her midriff before he looked back down at his sketchbook. Every picture he had drawn had been of her, she was his latest inspiration, which had usually led to obsessions. In that way, he and the elder Salvatore were one in the same. When they found something, they wanted, it consumed them and became an obsession.

"Really?" I asked crossing my arms over my chest after our eyes met. I wasn't a prude, nor was I naive Klaus and I were attracted to each other and I knew because of our shared history of sexing each other up that their would be times of temptation, between us- we just needed to figure out the supernatural business before we could even began to deal with our issues. "Is that why you've filled up your sketchbook.?" I questioned before twirling my necklace in my fingers.

"What can I say, suddenly I've gotten inspiration to draw." He says a smirk on his rose-colored lips.

I raise my eyebrows before chugging down some water. Something tells me that this alliance isn't going to be as black and white as I thought it would be.

Damon

He had been feeling restless for the last two weeks and for once it wasn't about Elena, but about the Bennett witch. She had turned immortal two weeks ago and yet they hadn't heard a peep from her. She was supposed to contact him or his brooding brother. However, they hadn't heard from her. It was like she had dropped off the face of the planet, until this morning. He had never been able to feel the witch before this morning. It was like she was calling out to him and the feeling was like someone was plucking the strings of his soul. His mind wanders to the night he had saved the last Bennett witch and had taken on the responsibility of this girl who would grow up to change the supernatural world. He could barely take care of himself, let alone Stefan and now he had this girl to look after, this girl who was supposed to mean everything to him. Silently he plays with the ring on his finger for a moment, suddenly mesmerized how it had changed. Where his ring once shown one white diamond now has a counterpart that is of the amethyst.

He knew the amethyst represented the Bennett witches birth month, thus reminding him the role he was supposed to play in her life. He wasn't sure if the vampire and witch elders expected him to love this girl, or protect her, he wasn't sure he was ready for either. Lucky for him, the elders had the same faith in him as he had in himself, hence the reason why Stefan was also the girls guardian and perhaps future mate.

Swallowing the remnants of his drink, he trotted to his brothers room to find Stefan scribbling furiously in his journal. "What's eating you?" he questioned causing big green eyes to look his way.

"I dreamed of her last night, the Bennett witch. I didn't see her face..." Stefan says trailing off. "I never saw her face but I knew it was her. In my dream darkness wanted to corrupt her...he wants to make her his." Stefan says while running his hand through his hair. "She was running from him and from us." He finishes.

For his part Damon is mildly interested only because he too felt something was wrong with the witch. But for Stefan to start dreaming of the possible future, or to dream at all tells him that the girl must be searching for the two of them. "Great so now your physic vampire, you just can't catch a break. You've already gotten that broody look down pact and now you can possibly predict the future, now you just need physic friends." He jabbed rolling his blue eyes.

"Damon they're something else, my ring." Stefan says holding up his finger to display the change in his ring as well. His ring now changing colors almost as if it were a mood ring.

He lets out a sigh of his own. This girl was getting closer and she hadn't been a immortal for more then two weeks before she had come around and changed their world. He could only guess what would happen when she actually showed her face. With their luck instantly they'd fall in love with her, the same way they had fallen for Elena, much like they had fallen for Katherine.

"We'll give her till tonight to locate us and if not, we're going to bring her here where she belongs." he says suddenly in need of yet another drink. He's gotten down to the library when suddenly Stefan is near a gloomy look on his face. "What is it?"

Stefan crosses his arms over his chest and leans on the doorframe. "That was Caroline, Klaus is back."

He can't help but let out a slew of expletives. "This is not what we need now!" She was too important and if Klaus got his hands on her if he intercepted them, he didn't know what would happen.

"You know when he realizes she belongs to us, he's going to want her." Stefan echos

Growling he yanks his black leather jacket. "Its time we remind your ex bestfriend that this is our town and that he isn't wanted." He says pissed off again. Just another day in the life of Damon Salvatore.

BB-KM-BB

The Mikalson home in Mystic Falls, was probably one of the best homes I had seen in my entire life. It was just as beautiful as I thought it would be and probably a bit more. The house was enough to fit probably the whole town, though I had been told that only Rebecca, Kol and perhaps Elijah would be joining the two of us. Of course that was fine with me, although Rebecca wasn't my favorite person, I loved Kol and I knew that he would bring Melissa with him, so at least I would have someone who reminded me of home. I wasn't sure if I could function properly without my best friends and lucky for me that happen to be Kol and Melissa.

After a tour of my new home I had taken a nice long bath, alone- although Klaus had brought up the idea of the two of us sharing it, I had declined knowing that playing with fire was not on my agenda for that day. The moment we had gotten in M.F. I had this strange feeling overcome me and I couldn't quite figure out what it was. It almost felt like I was supposed to be here. Twirling my necklace in my fingers, I looked at my reflection. I had chosen to wear a vintage teal romper with a sweetheart neckline and flip flops. I needed to blend in, not draw attention to myself, as I knew Klaus would do all by himself.

"You look beautiful love." Klaus says kissing me on the cheek. "Now lets get you fed, I know the perfect place that'll serve you all the burgers and french fries your heart desires." He says holding out his arm, which I gladly take.

I grin his way. "Well then lead the way."

The place Klaus had been talking about was the Grill, and it had reminded me of the Boathouse and the place was packed. Klaus led the way all the while people looked our way, his hand was placed at the small of my back and when I locked eyes with a blond girl. I had a feeling that the people of this town, had seen nothing but destruction from Nicklaus.

Just as we are about to find a seat, my cell rings and I notice that it Melissa. Instantly I turn to face Klaus who doesn't seem to be looking at me but smirking at everyone in the restaurant. I shuddered at the mere thought of what kind of game he was playing with these people. I had known all about the destruction of Nicklaus and hoped he hadn't planed on continuing his malicious ways because I would not stand for it. "I'm going to take this outside ok." I say flashing him a smile to which he grins.

"Of course love." He says intertwining our fingers together. Our wedding rings glisten as he does so and I look up into his eyes, just in time for him to plant a kiss to my lips. His lips are soft and welcoming and feel his tongue invading my mouth instantly. After a few moments, I push away from him.

"Behave yourself Klaus." I say spinning around nearly and colliding with the blond woman that had been watching us earlier. I mutter an apology before sneaking away. I was positive she and Klaus shared a history and was sure they had a lot to talk about.

BB-KM-DS-SS

The ride to the grill had been quick, this was not the time pussyfoot around things. Caroline had sent over a dozen texts about Klaus and apparently he hadn't come alone. It seemed like Caroline was suddenly jealous over the fact that Klaus was no longer licking her boots. He could admit, even someone like Klaus deserved more then to be toyed with. Pulling into the parking lot he had spotted a pretty young thing and licked his lips as she walked back and forth as if she were walking on a runway. His eyes had traveled the length of her and he couldn't keep them off of her legs, which were showcased nicely in the teal romper that. He continued to watch her as Stefan had tried to calm Caroline down, who was still in a jealous rage. He watched at the bronzed glow of a girl giggled at something her friend had said on the other side of the line, and then as if she had just noticed that she was being watched she raised her head and looked him in the eye.

The moment their eyes locked it was like a lifetime passed between the two of them. In the back of his mind he heard the soft purr of her laughter. He saw the green of her very green eyes and the warmth that radiated off her silky skin.

He gave her a smirk and waved over while his mind was trying to figure out if he had time to squeeze in a quickly with the beautiful girl in front of him. It had been a long time since he had looked at anyone that hadn't resembled Katherine, or Elena and the girl in front of him with the short shorts, and long flowing hair had done the trick. He felt his lower anatomy stir at the mere sight of her and only when Stefan had elbowed him did he realize that he and the girl were having eye sex.

"Damon, please" Stefan breathed out. "We don't have time for this. We have to work as a unit on this one." Stefan reminds him.

He turns to look at his brother and for the first time they agree on something. "That's what the matching leather jackets are for." He jokes to get an eye roll from Stefan. "All I need is a ten minute reprieve." he says licking his lips. "Besides Klaus likes you better then he likes me, I think it has to do with that man crush he has on you." he says causing his brother to glare his way. "Do you have something you want to tell me about the roaring twenties, I promise I wont judge." he says mockingly.

Stefan lets out a scuff. "You're an ass!" he says irritated. "But you do have a point, I'm going to gather some intel from Caroline."

He cracks a smile. "See another person who likes you better then she likes me."

Stefan squints again and says nothing as the two of them get out of the vintage muscle car at the same time. He sends a wink to his brother just as the girl who he'd been eyeing lets out a frustrated shriek.

"Ten minutes." Stefan reminds before disappearing to find Caroline.

He waited approximately ten seconds before saddling up to the girl who was now looking at hr cell phone like it was the enemy.

"Let me guess your new in town?" he asked causing the petite brown sugar coated girl to look up at him. Her eyes were so green, possibly the color of emerald and then their were those lips, heart shaped lips, with a pretty face. She was the perfect specimen to cap the night off with. She'd help rid him of the sense of anxiety he felt about the Bennett witch for the last two weeks.

I had been beyond frustrated by the amount of dropped calls I had recently gone through. I guess that was what happened when you were practically in the middle of nowhere Mystic Falls. Looking up I caught sight of glacier blue eyes and staring down at me, with a hint of mischief had me intrigued enough that I wasn't as pissed off at my dropped call. "What gave it away." I asked not being able to hide a small smile as the man before me dared to lean forward.

"Well I happen to know everything and everyone in Mystic Falls and I would certainly know if you had been living here." he says watching as she bites those heart shaped lips.

"I see!" I say nodding my head as he continues to invade my space. His eyes are so blue, like really blue and I get a slight shiver at the way he is currently looking at me. It was almost like I was the only girl in the world, or maybe this town.

"So how about we get a drink, you can tell me all about yourself, and we'll see where things lead." he says a cocky grin on his lips. He could hear her heart beating fast, and could see intrigue and desire floating in her green iris and decided to saddle a bit closer.

I had gotten the feeling that this guy was use to girls catering to his every whim. He was cute enough, really, really cute but I was a married woman and it would take a lot for me to go against my vows, even if my marriage was based on an alliance. Uh, the more I thought about my marriage the more I wanted...needed a drink. "I can't." I say simply with a tilt of my head. I watch as his mouth hangs agape for a split second before he catches himself and shuts it.

He nods his head. "Boyfriend?" he asked causing her to shake her head. "Girlfriend?" he asked hoping that it would be true. It had been a while he had a threesome and he was down for whatever as long as this chick would be apart of it, he might even let her tie him up.

I had let out a giggle. "You wish!" I say before letting him out of his misery. "Husband!" I say holding up my left hand so he could look at the rock that was on my finger.

He almost let out a scuff as he examined the ring. "Let me guess, old, fat and rich." he asks giving her an intense look, that usually had lesser girls falling on their knees to worship him in less then three minutes.

I clicked my tongue and retrieved my hand back from him, ignoring the tingle I felt at the mere contact. "Actually, he's hot, blond, and rich!" I say grinning over at him.

He chuckled at her words and soon advanced on her, which in turn caused her to take a step back into the nearby brick wall. "But not as hot as me?' he questioned before grinning again. This was the chick that was going home with him tonight, he had just knew it. As for her being married it wouldn't be the first time is dabbled with a married woman. "Would you be surprised if I said it wouldn't be the first time I was with a married woman?"

I let out a shaky breath. This wasn't a good idea, flirting with a stranger outside of a bar, with my husband who was a vampire close by. But I couldn't help but continue. It had been a long time since I had enjoyed friendly flirting. "Not at all."

He chuckled at her words and soon advanced on her, which in turn caused her to take a step back into the nearby brick wall. "So that husband of yours, I bet he's not as hot as me?' he questioned before grinning again.

I found myself chuckling. I'd give him his credit. Blue eyes was all kinds of hot, and possibly even hotter then my husband. "Does this usually work, on the girls from this town?"

"What?" he asked blinking rapidly as if pretending to be dumb.

"The smolder?" I asked a smirk of my own playing on my lips.

"Usually." he says looking her up and then down before biting his lip. "Its my specialty." he says grinning madly my way. "And if you'd like I could properly show you all of my special moves." he says with an eyebrow wiggle.

I didn't have a chance to say anything because soon his friend had come out of the building saying something about ten minutes. He reluctantly moves out of my space.

DS-SS-KM

Instantly they spot Klaus who seems to be waiting for the two of them. He wants to make this quick because, that girl was hot and while they had locked eyes he had practically seen her underneath him. It was like a lifetime had flashed between the two of them and he hadn't even known her name. It was strange but he liked to walk on the dangerous side of things.

"Ahh the Salvatore brothers," Klaus says beer in hand. "I've been waiting for the two of you- what was taking you lot so long?" Klaus asked with a grin. "I'm guessing it has to do with your matching jackets!"

Grinning he leans on the bar. "We were killing the last of your hybrids." He says causing the original hybrid to bare his teeth.

"Damon, you're lucky I'm in a good mood." Klaus says jovially. "Or else you'd be dead on the floor."

It's then that the brothers share a look, as Damon tilts his head signaling for Stefan to take the lead. "What are you doing here Klaus? Caroline doesn't want anything to do with you." Stefan bites out annoyed.

Klaus chuckles as he downs his beer and signals for another round, this time of whisky. "The way she's looking over here says differ." He says a grin on his lips. "Actually I am here because this is my new home, and the two of you are here just in time to celebrate with me." He says handing the two of them a drink.

"Celebrate your death." Damon calls out causing the original to glare his way before a smile once again appears on his lips. He frowns at the original as he once again sets his sights on Stefan. Its times like this when he wonders if his brother and the original vampire were more then friends in the 20's.

"My marriage." Klaus says looking over to Stefan. "You missed it. Stefan you could have been my best man."

Stefan furrows his brows. "When are you gonna to get it, our friendship is over!" Stefan calls out although his voice is starting to sound hysterical.

Ignoring the way his brother is suddenly sounding like someone who has just broken off a bromance or romance whatever he interrupts. "What kind of idiot would ever marry you-clearly this girl or guy," he says with a smirk. "Is dumb, blind and stupid? Who in their right mind would ever marry you." He says again his eyes going wide.

I had been listening to the conversation between the two men and my husband for a little bit and only decided to make my presence known when it appeared I was needed.

"That would be me." I say just as Klaus and I lock eyes. In a split second the men turn my way, and I catch sight of the guy from earlier, the same guy who was giving me the eye earlier. I rake my eyes over him realizing just how handsome he is. With dark hair and light eyes, he was probably a girls dream come true, in fact he had been on my wish list years ago for an ideal guy. I had always said that dark hair and light eyes were my panty dropper. And then there was the look that had crossed us when our eyes met the first time, I felt heat deep within my soul at the way he had been looking at me. Too bad I was married and he was most likely an enemy of my new found husband.

He had turned around fully prepared to insult the twit who had married Klaus but stopped upon seeing her. Once again their eyes locked and this time she was all but daring him to say something else. Before he got a chance to say anything, Stefan had soon zipped out of his seat and had garnered her attention.

Sheepishly Stefan had stood in front of the girl ready to defend his brother however the sight of her necklace had thrown him, he had seen that necklace before he just couldn't figure out where. Shrugging his shoulders, he spoke. "I'm sorry about my brother he doesn't think before he speaks. I'm Stefan." He says reaching out to shake the girls hand and to his surprise she does so. "And this is my brother Damon." He says as Damon sends a wink in the direction of the girl.

"Bonnie" I say, removing my hand from his. I noticed that the man in front of me was equally handsome, he had this calming way about him and I couldn't help but to think that he had saved his brother many times. I looked between the two brothers seeing that the two didn't look alike at all where the one whose name was Damon had glacier blue eyes, Stefan had meadow green eyes. If only I had met either one of them before I had entered this agreement with Klaus. Green eyes had a hot back and blue eyes, well he was dripping sex.

As if Klaus could hear my thoughts he speaks causing me to look his way. "Love," he grits out in his musical voice. " How is everyone back home?" he asks and for the first time I thought I heard a hint of an underlining threat.

I found all eyes on me as the brothers watch my interaction with my husband and Klaus watches as I dart my eyes between the brothers and him. I can feel my heartbeat speed up and I know the three vampires can hear it to. There is a strange energy that is flowing through the air as I stand almost in the center of the three vampires and it's something that has left me feeling unsettled.

I lick my dry lips as my voice finally resurfaces. "Everyone is safe." I say simply as Klaus pulls me close to him. I watch as the brothers look my way and there is something about the way they are looking at me, and the way that Klaus is holding me that makes me want to flee. Turning in his arms. I speak. "I'm gonna go, I'm gonna let you chat with your friends." I say as he holds me to him for a second too long, which tells me this is for show.

"Do you want me to go with you love?" Klaus questions his lips dancing on her flesh.

"No." I say pulling back. "I'll see you at home." I say before placing a kiss to his cheek. I turn around and note that glacier eyes are staring me down as if I'm the bad person. I don't know him and he doesn't know me, so I push past him. Whatever moment we had earlier is now a memory.

I get halfway out of the grill when suddenly someone has grabbed my arm. Turning around I see glacier eyes and turn my head in the direction of Klaus and Stefan and see that they are still talking.

"Let go of me." I say startled. Of course he doesn't do so and forces me into the wall as he blue eyes bead down on me. All of the playfulness from earlier is now gone as we look at each other.

"Listen witch," he almost sneers. "Your husband isn't a good guy- you picked the wrong team to join." He says as his eyes go wide. He pushes her tiny body against the brick and towers over her. His eyes dart over everything that is her. He notices that her lips are heart shaped, pinked and ripe for the taking but resists the urge to do so. She was in bed with the enemy. Therefore, she was the enemy. That of course didn't mean- they couldn't have their fun before drawing the line in the sand.

I smile his way my most dazzling smile. "And you picked the wrong witch to corner." I say sweetly before placing my palm on his chest for a moment as I stop his heart. I wait for a few seconds before restarting it and then when he's wheezing I walk away.

BB-BB-BB

After my encounter with Klaus and his "friends" I was left feeling slightly shaken and bit charged with this unbelievable energy. I wasn't sure if it were nerves or adrenaline that had been running through me. The only thing I was sure of, was when I had placed my hand on the one named Damon I had gotten a glimpse of the two of us in the throes of passion, fighting each other and loving each other, almost like a premonition. The last thing I needed was trouble and I feared that Damon was nothing but trouble.

Pulling up to my grandmothers, houses, I smiled at the mere sight of it. Everything was just the way I had remembered it. Pushing open the door, I was assaulted with memories of when I was younger. I had visited my grandmother every summer and the two of us had worked on my witch craft. At first she had taught me, little things, floating feathers and how to become one with the elements of nature around me. But as I got older she had taught me the fundamentals that had led me to become the witch I am today.

As I continued my way through the house, a wave of nostalgia hits me and the only think I want is to be close to her again. I had never missed anyone as much as I had missed my grams, she had meant everything to me, and sometimes more of a parent then my own parents. My fingers trace along our faces in a photograph and it's then that I decide to connect with her the best way I know how to. With a white blanket in hand and a photograph of the two of us, I head for the backyard, which had always been the best place for me to practice my magic. My bare feet hit the ground as the grass that looks to be taken care of tickles my feet. Once I've found the perfect spot, underneath the maple tree.

A cool breeze brushes past my skin as I sit down and close my eyes. I can hear the sound of running water by the nearby stream, birds chirping and crickets singing. Once I've finally relaxed my mind I search within the depth of my soul for my grams, hoping to make connection with her.

"Grams. I came back home. I need you." I say whisper out. And behind my eyelids I see her face and her smile. "I need to know that I've made the right choice and that you are proud of me." I say again

The wind picks up and through the rustles of the maple leaves I can hear her call out my name. She is saying something about guardians, saying I need to trust them and before I can make full contact with her something hard knocks into me, breaking our connection. Startled I open my eyes to see that I am flat on my back with the devil looking down at me his glacier eyes are hard as his solid body hovers over my own.

"What the hell?" I screech as he dares to lick his lips as he looks down at me. I make a move to push him off of me when he grabs a hold of both my hands and holds them over my head.

"I can say the same." he says an edge to his voice. She had stopped his heart, that bitch! He didn't know what was worst, the fact that she had scared the shit out of and that didn't happen ever or that he was still insanely attracted to her. He would bet his day walking ring and his car that she was on fire in bed, she was probably the type of girl that liked to tie her man up, she had a kinky side to her, he just knew it. If her pouty lips didn't say so the way she took him down and had the nerve to smirk about it afterwards hadn't told him that this girl was a firecracker then he didn't know what would.

"Get off of me." I say squirming beneath him, before letting out an annoyed sigh. "What did you do, follow me here?' I asked causing him to chuckle.

"Don't flatter yourself firecracker." he said darting his eyes from her lips to her eyes. As much as he enjoyed having her pressed against him, under him, he needed to extract information from her and he doubted flirting would work with this firecracker. "Ok, im going to let you up but I need your word that you wont attack me, or I'll be forced to defend myself, and I wont attack you the way you think." he says as his glacier eyes force contact mossy green eyes.

"Fine" I relent. I'd let him state his piece and then I'd get him where it hurt most, his ego.

In a flash he was leaning against the nearby maple tree with a smirk on his features, and I knew just by looking at him that he was used to getting whatever he wanted. I bet women had tripped over themselves trying to please him. "I get it." he says causing me to raise my brows. "You're a new witch in town, and of course your husband wants you to try and tap into the strongest witch line." he says before zooming over to me. "I wont let that happen though." he says reaching out to stroke my face. "Your husband is a bad man Bonnie." he says lingering on my name. "And if your not carful his enemies will become yours."

"Are you threatening me again?" I asked surprised by his nerve. He had slithered my way like a snake and practically wrapped himself around me. I guess he thought he was using his sex appeal as a weapon against me, he thought wrong.

"Not at all." he says with a glint in his eyes. "Believe it or not, I'm trying to help you Bonnie...I want to help you." he says quickly changing their position so that she was against the tree with him pressing against her.

I pushed back against him, not missing the surprise in his eyes. "What you want, is to get me into bed." I say trailing my finger along his jaw line. I let out a smile as he all but melted into my touch.

He grinned liking her style. "Is that what you think, that I want you in bed?"

I clicked my tongue and brought my arms around his neck. I stood on my tip toes and he brought his head closer to mine. "I know so" I said pulling back as he dared to try and kiss me. "Now tell me who are you and what are you doing on my grandmother property?"

The smirk on his lips dies as she mentions her grandmother. "Grandmother?" he echos taking a drastic step back. "This...this can't be?" he says as eyes going wide as he looks at her from afar before zooming up to get a good look at her eyes. Her eyes had drew him in, they had been on his mind, along with the rest of her, but those eyes...they had been haunting him for the last two weeks.

"Yes grandmother. I'm Bonnie Bennett." I say as he holds onto my hands as if something is supposed to happen. "Who are you?"

He swallows thickly needing a drink. The girl they had been looking for had been right under their nose and what made things worst was that she had been in the clutches of his worst enemy.

Bringing his eyes back to her he finally speaks. "Damon...Damon Salvatore."

"Oh my god!" I said feeling as if the world was beginning to spin. My head begins to hurt as the sound of the witches whispering savior in my ears. I feel like I'm about to pass out and I guess Damon can tell because soon he's zoomed over to me. Our eyes lock briefly before he slings an arm around my waist.

Suddenly a breeze flows through the backyard and soon Stefan Salvatore is standing before the two of us. We all share a look when a strong wind blows causing the wind chimes to sing, the wind picks up and I'm watching as it glides Stefan so that he is now in front of me and his brother. A tornado of some sort soon engulfs the three of us and that's that last thing I see before I'm blinded by the sheer force of a white light. In the background I can her the vague cries of the brothers but temptation is calling my name and I must succumb.
