Bonnie rolled her eyes at the scene before her, she knew better than to call her but she had no one else she didn't distaste enough to sit in the same room with.

Rebekah Mikaelson tilted her head a little and smiled "So you're a vampire now? Can't say that I'm surprised or that I don't like the look on you."

She eyed Bonnie who she noticed dyed her hair in highlights but wore it in a fishtail braid. The witches style seemed to have improved as well, instead of wearing the usual rags the original was accustomed to seeing her in. Bonnie wore a pair of black leggings, a Maglione Lungo Pullover and a pair of Bandolino Pieretta ankle booties. Who knew the prom queen had to die in order to get a better fashion sense?

Naturally, Rebekah told Bonnie this.

Green eyes narrowed "Are you going to help me or not?"

Rebekah shrugged "You didn't exactly cough up enough details about this so-called favor."

"I told you I wanted you to compel away some memories. It's not hard."

Rebekah laughed "If it wasn't than you would be able to do it. But since you're not an original— "

"Oh please, you act as if being an original actually means something now. Have you forgotten I know how to kill you?"

"Good luck finding that white oak."

Bonnie smirked "I don't need that."

Rebekah raised a brow "You don't? Last time heard every witch of your line is now dead dead or a vampire. So unless you're some weird hybrid with parlor tricks, your threats mean nothing."

Bonnie dropped her eyes from Rebekah and said nothing. What could she say that wouldn't be outright bullshit and a weak attempt to be intimidating. Damon took away her power, she was at the top of the supernatural food chain as the queen of the supernatural world because of her bloodline. Now she was a vampire.

Bonnie has never felt more empty.

Rebekah waited for Bonnie's snarky comment but it never came. She didn't know the witch well but she knew she had a lot more in common with Bonnie than either of them were willing to admit. Both girls were loyal to a fault and usually to the wrong people, they had horrible parents, they were both turned against their will, they played second fiddle to Elena Gilbert and gotten their hearts broken by Salvatore's.

"Look, Bonnie I didn't mean what I said. Sometimes I come off a little high strong and I say the wrong things. "

Bonnie shook her head "You're honest. It's an art I should of practiced a long time ago, maybe I wouldn't have been in this mess."

"Why did he turn you?"

Bonnie turned and walked over to Rebekah's floor to ceiling window "I don't know."

Rebekah didn't believe that "He had to tell you why. I mean come on, he owes you that much."

"He told me a bunch of bullshit about how he didn't want to lose me and that's why he did it."

Rebekah blinked and thought about the last time she saw Damon and Bonnie in action. Damon had stayed behind on the island in Nova Scotia to find the witch. She figured it was for Elena, I mean that is what he told her and although she didn't quite believe that she couldn't refute it. Everything Damon did was inspired by Elena.

But now she was starting to wonder.

"He's a dick, but maybe he's a dick who had good intentions."

Bonnie turned to look at Rebekah her eyes narrowed "Are you defending him?"

Rebekah flung herself on her couch "Of course not. I'm saying we've all done questionable and selfish things to keep the people we love safe and with us. Obviously, he thought turning you was the only way to keep you safe."

"You are defending him." Bonnie said her mouth slightly open.

Rebekah laughed "Bonnie, I'm not defending him. I'm just saying if I had no other choice I would probably do the same."

"So you would have killed Matt?"

Rebekah heard the edge in Bonnie's voice but ignored it "No, Matt isn't like us. He's human, he's the constant reminder that we need when we think there's nothing good left in this world. He's not perfect, but he's as perfect as we're ever going to get."

Bonnie couldn't call that statement a lie if she wanted too. Matt wasn't perfect, but he reminded her of what she needed to do and who she needed to do it for.

Come to think of it, she needed to kick Matt in the balls for the way he treated Caroline when he found out she was a vampire, while she was at she owed Caroline an apology as well.

Bonnie didn't fully buy that response though "You couldn't hurt Matt because in your own way you loved him. Damon killed me because he loves Elena." She said trying and failing to swallow that hurt.

Rebekah wanted to add more of her two cents but she thought better of it, Bonnie was hurt and angry and the only way to undue this was too full fill the request, one she was sure Bonnie was going to regret.

"Are you sure you want to do this? You didn't give me much details as to what and how much you want erased."

Bonnie crossed her arms over her chest "All of it, I don't want to remember him at all. From the moment I met him to her last conversation two days ago, I want it all gone."

Rebekah's eyes widen "You'll have holes in places where he should be, What about Stefan?"

Bonnie nibbled on her bottom lip "Erase him too, if I remember Stefan than Damon will always be there in the back of my mind and I can't have that."

"What about your boyfriend?"

Bonnie sighed "Ex- Boyfriend, Enzo isn't an issue. "

Rebekah nodded "I do need to remind you Bonnie that when I do this you're erasing Damon's accountability for what happened to you."

Bonnie was silent.

Rebekah continued "and whatever I do its permanent until an original compels you to remember again."

After a while Bonnie nodded her head "I understand, now let's get this over with and if you need to replace my erased memories with new ones, make sure they're happy ones."

Rebekah smiled a little and motioned for Bonnie to sit in front of her. When Bonnie did she began "When did you first meet Damon?"

Bonnie thought for a second "We were having game night at Elena's house and he was there with Caroline and Stefan."

Holding eye contact with the former witch and watching as her pupils dilated "Bonnie, Game night was fun but instead of Damon and Stefan being there Caroline brought over two guys from school."

Rebekah watched as Bonnie nodded. She thought it was best to prepare herself, because it was going to be a long night.

Damon walked over to his claw bathtub where Elena was submerged in with bubbles and sat down. "I was thinking we should do something today. We haven't officially gone out on a date since you returned and I think we should change that."

Elena tilted her head to the side smiling a little "Are you sure?"

Damon furrowed his brows "Sure about what?"

"As of late you've been distracted a lot lately. I know it's because of Bonnie and the fact that you killed her to bring me back." She said bluntly.

Damon flinched at her brashness "I didn't kill Bonnie to bring you back Elena."

"Damon, I'm not mad at you even though I should be. But I get it. I read some of the journals and I know you were going through a difficult time and you needed me, everyone knew and understood that."

Damon's head jerked back a little "I don't need a babysitter Elena."

"I know that Damon, I also know you were making bad decisions again because you couldn't handle losing me. But I'm here now and we're going to make things better."

Damon pulled his hand out of Elena's bath water and stood up "I told you to stop making excuses for me Elena. I don't need you to be ok with every fucked-up thing that I do."

Elena frowned and watched him leave the bathroom she got out of the tub and wrapped a towel around her body. She followed him into their bedroom "That's not what I'm doing, Damon. Where is this coming from?"

Damon stopped and faced Elena "You really don't see it? Did I ruin you that much?"

Elena felt like someone had slapped her cleaned across the face "Ruined? I love you and want to get things back on track in our life but apparently, I'm ruined to you?"

"I killed Tyler." He blurted out.

Elena knew this, it's all Matt talked about in most of his journal entries that were dated back in 2016.

When Elena didn't respond Damon snorted "Of course you knew this and have no outright reaction to love of your life killing your childhood friend."

"I'm not condoning what you did Damon but—"

Damon interrupted her "You know what Bonnie did?" Elena's silence meant he could continue "After she almost killed me, she practically chased me out of Mystic Falls for almost a year." He laughed thinking about this tiny slip of a girl kicking his ass at the boarding house "She said if I didn't leave now she was going to kill me and if I loved her I would spare her of ever having to do something like that. So I left."

Elena froze at hearing that "You love her?"

Damon gaped at Elena "Is that seriously all you heard?"

Elena only glared at him "Answer the question Damon?"

Damon looked at her for a while remaining silent "I love you Elena."

Elena snorted "You're still not answering the question."

"I love you Elena, and I'm with you. For now, that's going to have to be enough." He said leaving her alone.

Tears fell from Elena's eyes. For the first-time since finding out Damon was in love with her, that wasn't enough.

Caroline eyed Bonnie a little, something was different about her but she couldn't figure out what it was. I mean sure she was smiling more, which after the last few months was hard for Bonnie to do so she wasnt complaining. But something was different, she just couldn't tell what it was.

"Care, guess who's coming to club infinity next weekend?"

Caroline popped a grape in her mouth "Who? And if you tell me Bow wow, I'm going to have to give that one a hard pass. "

Bonnie laughed "No, think actual celebrity."

Caroline thought for a moment "I don't know, who?"

"Chance the rapper."

Caroline's eyes widen "Seriously? What the hell is he doing in Mystic falls?"

Bonnie laughed again "I don't know, I thought it was a joke because who the hell ever comes here? But I guess he's throwing a after party and wants to keep a low profile. So, are you in?"

Caroline grabbed a handful of grapes "Hell yea I'm in."

"Great, let me call Elena." Bonnie said reaching over Caroline to grab her phone.

Caroline grabbed her arm "What? You're calling Elena?"

Bonnie's eyebrows furrowed "Of course" Bonnie rolled her eyes when Caroline's eyes widen "I know we had our differences recently but I'm over it. It's time to get things back on track."

"Differences?"

"Yes, Differences. We have them and we move on."

Caroline sat forward a little more "You can't move on from what happened to you Bonnie and you shouldn't have too."

Bonnie sighed "I know, but what's done is done. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and let's be honest was young in my craft. I didn't know what the hell I was doing."

Caroline looked at Bonnie questionably "What are you talking about?"

Before Bonnie got a chance to respond her doorbell rung, she got up and opened the door revealing Stefan Salvatore.

Stefan tucked his hands in the pockets of his leather jacket "Bonnie, can we talk?"

Bonnie frowned "Sure, but do I know you?"

Stefan's eyebrows flew to his hairline "What?"

"Your name, everyone has one and clearly you know mine, so it's only fair if I get yours."

Caroline stood up from the couch "Bonnie what the hell is going on?"

Bonnie turned to look at Caroline "This guy wants to talk me but he won't tell me his name, which isn't creepy at all." She mumbled that last part with Stefan still standing outside in front of her.

Stefan eyed Bonnie a little "Bonnie, are you ok?"

She was getting annoyed now "I will be once you tell me who the hell you are?"

Caroline and Stefan looked at each other, thinking the same thing. Something was wrong.

AN: Bonnie pulled an Elena and erased everything about Damon in her mind including his brother? Was she right to do that? Or did she take the easy way out? Leave me a review and let me know what you think. Until next time Have a Happy and Safe Holidays!
