Bonnie cursed, screamed, bit, punched and did everything under the sun to escape his grasp but to no avail. Sitting in the car seething, Bonnie looked over and noticed that her kidnapper was gripping the steering wheel rather tightly almost appearing to be lost in thought.

"You know this is kidnapping, right?" When he didn't respond Bonnie continued "Do you always go around kidnapping girls you just met?"

He sighed "We didn't just meet and I didn't kidnap you."

Damon had a timetable to keep and Bonnie showing her ass long and thoroughly enough delayed them at least an hour. He didn't really have a plan he just knew they had to get away for a while, away from the city and everyone who probably helped encourage Bonnie's dumb ass decision to erase her memories.

A perfectly arched eyebrow rose "Oh really? So you don't think taking someone against their will isn't considered kidnapping?"

"No one's forcing you to stay, you're free to leave whenever you feel like it."

Silence

"Now that we finally understand each other, how about some music? I know how much you loved the soundtrack of 94, so how about—"

Before the rest of the sentence could leave his mouth Bonnie quite literally jumped out of the camaro, causing Damon to hit the brakes and curse loudly.

"Bonnie." He yelled getting out of the car, walking a few feet down the empty road and inhaled. Once he picked up Bonnie's scent he went after her.

At hearing her name Bonnie pushed forward adding just a little more speed, she didn't think she could go any faster but she just needed to get a good distance between them.

She ran full speed before turning a sharp right and colliding into what felt like brick wall, knocking the wind out of her system.

Bonnie inhaled sharply, her green eyes widen at seeing Damon smirking down at her "How did you—"

Damon flicked her nose with his pointer "You smell sweet, like vanilla and apples."

"You smelled me?" the disgust was evident.

Damon made a face "You make it sound so creepy. I prefer following your scent, it sounds prettier."

Bonnie rolled her eyes "Yea, because the alternative sounds less creepy." she said yanking her arm out of his grasp, taking a few steps back. "You can go back to your car, I can run home."

Damon shook his head "I can't do that, not until you hear me out first and you can't do that with everyone talking to you at once and telling you what to do."

Bonnie snorted "The man that kidnapped me just so I could hear him out doesn't want me to buckle under peer pressure?"

Her sarcasm wasn't cute "If we get away for a few days everything will start to make sense and—"

"None of this makes sense, none of it. I don't know you and you kidnapping me only makes me want to kill you not spend quality time with you."

Damon saw the veins under Bonnie's eyes appear and disappear "First of all, calm down. Second of all, you need to remember how we were. We've been through way too much for you to toss it all away like it meant jack shit to you."

Silence

"I'm merely taking matters into my own hands and staging an intervention."

Bonnie gaped at him not saying anything. This dude has clearly lost it, he kidnaps her claiming she erased her memories as if he was some missing piece to a fucking puzzle she didn't know she was working on and now he wanted her to be fine with the situation he forced her into, because apparently this was his way of helping.

Bonnie nodded backing away slowly "Yea, I'm just going to go."

Damon was really getting tired of Bonnie walking away from him, he hated what he was about to do but he knew Bonnie and he also knew there was no way she would go anywhere with him willingly, memory or no memory. '

Bonnie turned her back to Damon, so she wasn't able to defend herself before Damon sped up behind her, snapping her neck.

Damon caught her before her small body could hit the ground, the last thing he wanted to do was hurt Bonnie again, but they still had a few hours before they got to their destination.

He looked down at Bonnie in his arms "I know you're probably going to kill me when you get up but that was for your own good."

Damon lifted Bonnie up and sped towards the car, once they were in and Bonnie was buckled in safely, he pulled out his phone and dialed nine on the speed dial "Is everything ready?"

The man on the other end nodded "Yea, the keys are in hidden under the third brick on the left."

Damon nodded "Thanks man."

"No problem, but what do you need this spot for? you haven't been here since 94."

Damon turned the car and taking quick glance at Bonnie who was still unconscious "Do me a favor?"

"Sure."

"Mind your fucking business." he sad before hanging up and driving fifty pass the speed limit down the empty road.

He needed to get there before midnight, better yet before Bonnie wakes up.

"He did what?" Elena asked looking in between Caroline and Stefan.

Caroline rolled her eyes "Did you hear anything we said before that?"

Elena could recall Caroline telling her something about Bonnie erasing her memories and she meant to comment on that, but then Stefan told her Damon found out and apparently kidnapped Bonnie, that was all she could think about.

Elena swallowed "Why did Bonnie erase her memories?"

Caroline's eyes narrowed "Apparently she wasn't handling being forced into vampirism as well as people were hoping."

Stefan flinched.

Elena stood up officially tired of Caroline's fucking attitude "I get you're angry Caroline, but you need to back off. I didn't want this for Bonnie either, but she's alive and I rather see my best friend alive and with me than dead for me."

"This isn't about you, Elena. Bonnie was the one forced into being the one thing she never wanted to be all because Damon was to pathetic to live without smelling your ass for a few years."

"It was sixty years." Elena corrected.

"And he waited for Katherine for a hundred and fifty. Are you telling me you weren't worth half the wait?" Caroline yelled.

Elena's eyes widen at Caroline's harsh words.

Stefan took this moment to intervene when he saw that Caroline wasn't going to take back what she said. To be honest he didn't think she needed too, but Caroline was never one to pull punches this harsh. So he thought it wise to squash this now before someone said something they would regret.

"Everyone needs to calm down, I'm sure wherever Damon took Bonnie he's not hurting her or putting her in any danger."

Caroline's head jerked back a little at hearing that nonsense "Are you kidding me? He's the one who killed her in the first place."

Stefan sighed not in the mood to argue further with Caroline "We need to focus on getting her back."

Caroline shook her head "You two have done enough, I'll find Bonnie and bring her home myself." and with that she left.

Bonnie woke up to the sound of fire crackling and soft Italian classical music. She sat up and the throw blanket that was covering her small body fell to her waist. She groaned rubbing the stiffness in her neck.

"Look who's finally awake."

Green eyes popped open at the sound of his voice, Bonnie turned her head in his direction.

Damon was to busy placing the plates down at the table he didn't notice her glaring at him, but he did feel the heat from her stare "I know you're pissed but before you go off, I made us your favorite Italian dishes: Osso buco, Grilled salmon with tomato peach relish and to top it all off Bruschetta with roasted squash, goat cheese, dried cranberries & walnuts." he smiled a little.

Silence

Damon didn't bother moving or defending himself because he already knew it was coming, so when Bonnie sped towards him and practically rearranged his jaw with her tiny fist knocking him to the ground, he didn't complain.

"I deserved that." he said getting up and rubbing his jaw checking to see if it was still attached "It looks like someone's getting stronger."

Bonnie narrowed her eyes and kicked him sending Damon flying to the opposite wall, when she sped towards him again Damon defended himself this time, slamming her against the wall.

He grabbed her arms "Listen to me, I know you're pissed at me for taking you away for a few days and snapping your neck. But have you met you? You're stubborn. You would have fought me the entire time, I did what I had to do because there was no way you would have came willingly."

Damon wanted to smirk at the innuendo but now was not the time.

"Of course not, you kidnapped me you son of a bitch." she yelled.

Damon nodded "Fine, I kidnapped you. But did you really think I was going to be OK with you not remembering me, remembering us and everything we've been through?"

Bonnie pushed Damon off of her "How many times do I have to keep saying this? I don't know what the hell you're talking about. You keep coming at me with this garbage about our history, memories and other nonsense, I don't know you."

"That's because you erased me from your life." he picked up a glass and filled it with wine, taking a generous sip "but that's fine, you'll remember us when this night is over."

"Are you threatening me?"

Damon shook his head "I don't make threats. Now, eat. I know you're hungry." he sat down at the table "I would offer you a cup of B positive but you still eat like a human during the day, but you fill up on blood as a night a cap."

Bonnie kept her face blank "Am I suppose to be impressed that you know me so well?"

Damon snorted "Impressed? Maybe, but not surprised. Just because I kept my distance while you adjusted to being a vampire that doesn't mean I wasn't around."

"So you've been stalking me?"

Damon looked up at Bonnie who he noticed hasn't sat down "We can keep going back and forth about this as much as you like but it won't change the fact that you erased me and I'm here to help you remember."

Bonnie opened her mouth but stopped when she remember she still had her cellphone, she reached in her pocket.

"Don't bother, I took your phone before we got here and since there's no phone here either I think you might as well dead that idea too."

Bonnie laughed bitterly "You're not keeping me here."

"You're free to leave whenever you like. But you have to admit you're curious about the things I know. Elena was."

Bonnie's eyes narrowed "How do you know Elena?"

Shit.

Damon swallowed his food trying to decide what was the best response to this question. Elena was his girlfriend, the love of his life and although he wanted Bonnie to get back her memories he didn't want them to start off on the wrong foot. So admitting he was fucking her best friend on a daily basis was crossing a bridge they didn't need to cross yet.

At least that's what he told himself.

Damon looked at Bonnie after a while "She's your best friend, she has been since you were kids and she use to be Stefan's girl when you were all in high school."

"Elena and Matt dated throughout high school." She said it like she had caught him in a lie "They broke up senior year because Elena wanted to leave Mystic Falls and Matt didn't. Shortly after that he started dating Rebekah."

Damon froze "What?"

Bonnie tilted her head "I thought you knew everything about my life."

Damon rolled his eyes "Your real life, the one you erased. I know nothing about this pod life you made up for yourself. Is that how you know Rebekah? Through Matt?"

Bonnie didn't know why she felt compelled to answer but she did anyway "Yea, Rebekah was the best thing to happen to Matt."

Damon wanted to laugh but looking at Bonnie he realized she actually meant what she said "You do know you hate Rebekah, right?"

"I don't know her well enough to hate her, but the little that I do know I can see after his break up with Elena she was the best thing that ever happened to him."

Damon couldn't recall a time outside of prom and the island where he even seen Bonnie and Rebekah in the same room together let alone them speaking more than two words to each other, they weren't close. But the way Bonnie talked about barbie Klaus it was obvious the two of them spent enough time in each other's presence and since originals are the only ones capable of compulsion outside of maybe witches. He guess he had Rebekah to thank for erasing Bonnie's memories.

Damon dropped his fork on the plate "You sound sympathetic to her."

Bonnie shrugged "I am, I can't imagine what it's like to be turned against your will by someone who was suppose to love and protect you. The family she has uses her and expects her to clean up their mess even though she's always on the receiving end of any and all fuckery that happens because of them."

Bonnie shook her head, happy she couldn't relate.

The irony wasn't lost on Damon and naturally the guilt slammed into him like a freight train. He took another swallow of wine deciding it was best to change the subject "How did you become a vampire?"

Bonnie took a bite of her salmon "I thought you knew."

Damon shrugged and smiled happy she was sitting down and eating the food he cooked for her "I do, just entertain me."

"Not that it's any of your business but I overexerted myself by using too much magic because of that my heart stopped."

"How did you get blood in your system?"

"Great, another interrogation. But this time it's by my kidnapper." When Damon only piled more food into his mouth Bonnie sighed "Caroline, she didn't want to take any chances so she gave me some of her blood."

"That Caroline Forbes always the helpful one. So you got too cocky and killed yourself and for what to bring back baby Gilbert?"

It was disconcerting that he knew so much about her, even if he claimed it happened differently. "I loved him and I wanted him back. The end."

"It costed you your fucking life, so, no that's not the end of it Bonnie." he gritted out "But luckily for you I helped to undo your stupid mistake by bringing you back."

Bonnie laughed taking a sip of her wine "You brought me back? How did you do that?"

Damon stood up from his seat "I made a deal with devil."

"Is this the part where I thank you for saving me?"

Damon shook his head and walking over to the flat screen "Nope, you can do that later. Until then how about I tell you the story about how a vampire met a witch?"

Bonnie looked at him brow raised "and what? they live happily ever after?"

Damon and Bonnie stared at each other for a while, it was Damon who broke eye contact first. He grabbed the remote, turning on the bodyguard.

Bonnie tried and failed to hide her squeal, before she could stop her feet from moving she ran to the couch to get more comfortable.

Bonnie was so excited about the bodyguard that she didn't hear him say...

"I'm working on it."

AN: Damon's going to work hard to get Bonnie to remember him. Do you guys think he'll succeed? Drop me a line and let me know what you guys think. Thanks for reading!
