Enzo barged into the boarding house and slammed the door behind him with enough force to shatter the windows. Stefan merely looked up from his book annoyed but made no other move to acknowledge him.

"Bonnie's missing and you're here reading Beowulf." .

After what felt like forever to Enzo, Stefan finally lowered his book an inch "Bonnie's not missing."

"Are you fucking kidding me right now? She hasn't been at work or at home in the last twenty four bloody hours and you don't think she's missing? That something's wrong here?"

"Have you tried calling her?" Stefan flipped a page.

Enzos prolonged silence told the story.

Stefan nodded "Of course if you did call she probably wouldn't answer anyway, right?" The younger Salvatore stood to his feet and stared at Enzo for a beat "But like I said she's not missing."

Clearly Stefan knew something he didn't "Where is she?"

Stefan shrugged "I don't know where she is." which was true, he didn't know where Damon had taken Bonnie. But after talking to the Geckos, Caroline and Stefan learned that they knew someone who could track them down.

However, Caroline assumed a simple locator spell was enough to find Bonnie so they found a witch and was able to convince her to do the spell for them. Deciding to give the witch one of Bonnie's favorite shirts since they didn't have access to blood or a relative, they waited. But something strange happened,

Esmerda grabbed onto Bonnie's shirt and upon immediate contact she stiffened "What have you done?" her eyes narrowed accusingly "a Bennett witch who now walks the living as one of you?" she hissed "Get out."

Caroline looked at Stefan and back at Esmerda again "Wait, what?"

"Get out I said" she yelled throwing the shirt back at Caroline.

Confused but determined Caroline carefully approached the witch "I 'm not sure what just happened but you can hate us all you want but Bonnie is still one of your own, please help me find her."

Esmerda shook her head "Not anymore. The spirits have rejected her three times before and now she's a vampire. Leave."

Stefan rushed to intervene "It's not her fault, she didn't want to be turned but... I forced her."

Silence

More Silence.

The older witch moved closer to Caroline grabbing a hold of Bonnie's shirt admiring it "Bennett witches have been seen as royalty amongst us for centuries. The blood of a Bennett runs through the veins of the supernatural world and because of them the impossible, is possible" and before Stefan could prepare himself she grabbed ahold of his head reading his thoughts and letting go"Twice you've turned a Bennett witch, spat on their name, our beliefs and everything we hold dear. You're also a terrible liar Mr. Salvatore."

Stefan swallowed not liking where this was headed.

"The spirits talk Mr. Salvatore and we talk back."

Caroline squinted "What does that mean?"

"Sævitque animis ignobile vulgus, jamque faces et saxa volant; furor arma ministrat." she switched to latin closing her eyes and clutching Bonnie's shirt tighter.

"What does that mean?" Caroline repeated.

The sign of danger licked his spine like a cool breeze prompting Stefan to move Caroline behind him.

"Patientia laesa fit furor." Esmerda opened her eyes which for a second were freakishly white before turning back to their normal shades of grey. "We all have our sins Mr. Salvatore , unfortunately your sins and the sins of Mr. St. John and will cost someone else their most coveted gift."

Stefan looked at Caroline.

Esmerda laughed "I wasn't referring to her."

"You played a part in creating a monster now you'll have to live with one."

Caroline frowned in understanding "Where's Bonnie's shirt?"

"Gone, just like the Bennett you once knew" the witch said walking over to the fireplace "One last thing, send Damon Salvatore my best." she bowed before vanishing completely.

Caroline hands balled tightly into a fist, fighting to keep the tears at bay. All she wanted to do was bring Bonnie home safely and now . She shook her head, she didn't know what was happening to Bonnie but whatever was happening, it was happening while in the company of the man who killed her.

Stefan turned and saw Caroline's vampire face on full display "Caroline, we'll find Bon—" Before he could even finish the sentence he neck was snapped.

Enzo swallowed "I should have known better than to.." he sighed "I thought I was protecting her."

"We made a decision that Bonnie had no say in and now she's paying for our mistakes." A part of Stefan was hoping the witch was playing them. Luckily for them the chances of that happening were still looking good since he haven't heard from Damon yet.

Damon was a lot of things but he would never do anything to put Bonnie in danger or stand by when she's in trouble.

Enzo on the other hand didn't trust Damon to keep Bonnie safe "Well, you always had blind faith in your brother I on the other hand—"

"Allowed him to kill the woman you love."

Enzo and Stefan turned to see Elena standing in the doorway with her phone in her hand "Caroline isn't returning my calls. I would ask where she is but if my hearing is correct you don't know that either." She said looking pointedly at Stefan.

"She needs time."

Elena shook her head "Time for what Stefan? We need to bring Bonnie home before whatever happens happens."

Stefan didn't think Elena's motives for bringing Bonnie home were all unselfish but Bonnie was still her best friend so who was he to say otherwise.

"Don't you think you've done enough?" Enzo narrowed his eyes at Elena.

Elena looked at Enzo "Excuse me?"

Enzo never liked Elena, never saw the appeal to the girl but seeing her walking around at Bonnie's expense made his skin crawl "Damon likes to fool himself into thinking he turned Bonnie because he simply wanted to protect her, but let's be honest with ourselves for once, this was about you" he pointed "getting you back and into his bed. Even though that would be premature considering he had Krystal to keep him company."

"What are you talking about?"

"Enzo" Stefan warned but was swiftly ignored.

Enzo smirked "Don't tell me you actually believed Damon would wait for you?" he laughed "Yeah, right. He fucked Krystal sideways and came back for seconds."

Elena tried to attack Enzo but was held back by Stefan.

"We can't do this now." he held onto Elena tighter.

Elena shoved Stefan off her, he barely moved an inch "You knew about this?" she nodded when Stefan suddenly went quiet "Of course you knew." she said turning and walking to the door "Don't bother following me, I can find Bonnie on my own. The last thing she needs is for the two men who stood by and watched as Damon snapped her neck show up as the so called cavalry."

"Bitch" Enzo growled when the door slammed he turned to look at Stefan who practically knocked his head off his shoulders with the punch to his face "What the hell was that for?"

"You just reminded me how much I hate you."

Silence stretched between the two supernaturals as Bonnie merely blinked at Damon while opening and closing her mouth like a fish out of water.

Damon kept his eyes on Bonnie the entire time waiting for her next move. He knew he couldn't put it off any longer and if he wanted Bonnie to remember him, them. Then she would have to remember the bad and the worse.

He watched as her green eyes turned a shade darker and her small hands balled into a tight fist a sure sign of anger. When she took a slight step forward Damon didn't move an inch as far as he was concerned he deserved everything she was prepared to dish out and then some.

However, he wasn't expecting the slight smile that graced her cupid's bow shaped lips "I'm going home." she said walking towards the door.

"Did you not hear what I just said?"

She answered with a few questions of her own "Can I use your car? or are you coming with me?"

It didn't escape him that her last question was asked reluctantly. Damon narrowed his eyes "You're not going anywhere until we talk about—"

"Talk about what?" she yelled "I don't know what the hell you're talking about and it's pointless to keep going over this. Whatever it was that you think you did to me maybe its best if I don't remember. Kidnapping is one thing but murder is something else entirely."

"You don't believe that." Damon shook his head "I wanted to protect you and I couldn't do that with you sacrificing yourself on a fucking whim for anyone who got a damn paper cut."

"You wanna know what I believe? I believe you're insane." she nodded "and you're desperate to believe that we were something to each other and you want to get whatever it was we had back, but it's not going to happen."

Damon disagreed "I will get that back. We've been through way too much, Bonnie. I can't give up on that."

"Even if means me hating you for the rest of my life? Is that what you want?"

No, it wasn't what he wanted but at this point what did he have to lose? Bonnie living a life where he didn't exist as far as she was concerned or Bonnie remembering him and hating him for eternity? Damon went for the latter, it was selfish but that was the only way he knew how to be with Bonnie.

That gave him pause.

Up until now Damon could only be selfish with Elena and his brother but Bonnie was unexpectedly new. The thought of Bonnie moving on with her life without him didn't sit to hot with him.

Then it occurred to him that, that wasn't entirely true for Elena.

With Elena he would gladly move aside and let Elena live the life she always deserved especially after the hell she's been through losing her family and being thrusted into the supernatural world without a say or a way out simply because of who she was and the company she kept.

But was Bonnie a victim in this as well, he reminded himself. Bonnie lost and sacrificed more than that to protect Mystic Falls and her friends. She never asked to be a witch but because of his appearance in town she was forced into one , just like she was forced into becoming a vampire because of him.

Damon combed a hand through his hair "I'll drive you back."

Bonnie shrugged only a little surprised she didn't get any further arguments from him, she turned to open the door and stilled when a sharp pain pierced her head, she bent over awkwardly clutching the doorknob and screamed.

Damon's brows furrowed "Bonnie?" when she started screaming he was instantly by her side "Bon? What's wrong? Tell me what's wrong."

"My head." was all she could get out before images of different things filled her vision, hitting her at once.

Images of her being in the car with Elena and a crow suddenly hitting her window.

Damon asking her for a necklace "Believe it or not Bonnie I want to protect you."

The decades dance "Careful Damon I might start think you actually care."

"We wouldn't want that."

When Damon turned Abby "There's always a choice whenever you make one someone else suffers."

When he found her on the island "I could hug you right now."

The prison world "I bet there's a million other people you would rather be here with right now."

"Not Exactly."

Damon killing Kai and saving her "You thought I was going to leave you all alone, huh? No way. I'm not out of nicknames for you yet."

"You're my best friend Bonnie if anything ever happened to you I would lose my mind."

When he desiccated "This hurts me."

Damon's letter to her:

Dear Bonnie,

I'm a coward. I should be saying this to your face not writing this letter but, I know if I do you'll talk me out of running away from all my problems. You're gonna make me face a future without Elena, and you're gonna help make me the best man that I can possibly be. Same way she did. And I'm absolutely terrified of failing you both. So I'm leaving. Because I'd rather let you down once then let you down for the rest of your life. And I hope it's the happiest life because you, Bonnie Bennett, are an amazing woman, mediocre crossword player, and my best friend.

With great love and respect, Damon

The night he turned her.

"What are you doing here?"

Damon tried to look offended "I need a reason to see you?"

Bonnie laughed "No, of course not. I just thought you were hanging out with Stefan and Enzo tonight. Enzo said he was meeting you."

Damon cleared his throat "Change of plans."

Bonnie walked into this kitchen, she hated beers but since she was out of bourbon this would have to do "Oh yeah, what changed?" she said walking out the kitchen to see Stefan and Enzo.

Bonnie looked at all three men "What's going on? Where's Damon?"

Damon grabbed Bonnie from behind and placed his wrist over her mouth, prompting the beers to fall and break on the floor.

Bonnie struggled to get free, tears leaked from her eyes as she pleaded with Enzo to do something "I'm so sorry, love." he whispered.

Bonnie then turned her pleading eyes on Stefan but it was pointless because the last thing she heard whispered in her ear before everything went black was Damon saying "I love you."

Bonnie gasped trying to catch her breath when the suddenly the pain stopped and the images faded. She looked around the room and noticed she was no longer in a hideout in New Orleans but at the boarding house in Mystic Falls.

She sat up, looked around the room and saw Damon, Enzo, Caroline, The Gecko's, Stefan, Elena, Alaric and Matt all surrounding her.

Caroline and Elena rushed to her side "I'm so happy you're awake."

"You scared the hell out of me Bonnie." that was Caroline.

Matt handed Bonnie a glass of water "Here, drink this."

Bonnie chugged the glass and handed to Alaric "What happened?"

"You don't remember?" Alaric asked.

Bonnie shook her head "I just remember feeling like someone was giving me an aneurysm and then I got my memories back."

Damon closed his eyes at hearing that "You blacked out after that so I brought you back here."

At the sound of his voice Bonnie removed the blanket from her body "I should thank you." she said trying to stand while ignoring any help Caroline and Elena offered her.

"You know you don't have to thank me."

Bonnie disagreed wholeheartedly she smiled "Of course I do. I mean without you none of this would be possible."

Damon immediately noticed something was off "Maybe you should thank me by staying off your feet for a few days."

Enzo walked towards her cupping her beautiful face "He's right, love. You've been unconscious for three days. I was driving myself insane worrying about you."

Richie rolled his eyes "We all were."

"We're happy you're alright, Bonnie." Stefan finally said.

"My degenerate brother was on the verge of ripping this town apart if you hadn't woken up." Seth said hitting Richie on the shoulder.

Damon once again kept his eyes on Bonnie who was busy staring at Enzo with what he could only describe as a blank expression "Bon, are you ok?"

Caroline noticed something was off too, she looked at Stefan "Enzo, maybe you should give Bonnie some space."

"Why? it's not like I'm gonna rip his heart out of his chest" Bonnie's fist punched through Enzo's chest capturing his heart before violently ripping it out. Enzo's body fell to floor with a thud "My hand slipped."

Elena screamed while everyone else's jaws collectively hit the floor.

Bonnie licked her blood stained hand and looked around the room "Oh come on, you guys hated him." she looked at Caroline "Since you want to be apart of the A plot for once, have fun cleaning up my mess." she said before speeding off.

Damon's jaw clenched silently wondering how Bonnie's humanity switch was flipped off.
