Part: 6 The hunt

"I already know how to hunt Damon"

"Bunnies, and stray pets don't count as prey. You will never be strong with animal blood."

"What about donor blood"

"It's not the same as blood from the tap."

"Bonnie, say something."

"Something"

"Bon!"

"I'm a witch I honestly don't have any say in this"

"Why little bird what would your witchy ancestors think?" Damon said in mock scandal.

"Fuck em, it's their entire fault most of the shit that has happened, happened. Qetsiyah made Silas, Silas put us through hell, Emily lied to you and I nearly get killed." Damon's eyes briefly clouded with shame.

"Then they fucking torture grams for their own fuck ups and let's not start about Ester and what her actions resulted in" Bonnie huffed.

"I am a witch I will do with my witchy powers what I want, the ancestral witches can go fuck themselves with the rotten end of a pineapple!" Bonnie practically yelled out the last part to the skies resulting in some very odd looks and Damon and Caroline walking several feet away from Bonnie pretending they had no idea who she was. Bonnie gave them both aneurysms.

Damon sat between his lovely ladies. He told Bonnie to stay home but she insisted on going out to the club with them to see them as their natures intended.

"Let's dance Caro" Bonnie said pulling the blonde away as a particularly peppy song came on.

Damon's posture seemed relaxed but his eyes were on the females currently spinning each other on the dance floor. It wasn't too long until a middle aged man approached them trying to sneak his hand up Caroline's dress. Bonnie slapped his hand away as Damon joined them on the floor staring the balding pervert down until he retreated.

"So should I stalk him?" Caroline asked unimpressed.

"No, his blood would taste like crap" Damon said in annoyance as she watched said pervert leave the club. Damon spun both girls around as something more Latin came on. The girls laughed and giggled as they got into the music, whilst casually commenting on several of the very desperate looking older patrons there. Damon and Bonnie left to get themselves bourbon when a younger guy approached Caroline. He sweetly asked for a dance and told her he was glad her older brother stepped away. Caroline looked up towards Damon and Bonnie, then she heard Damon in her head.

That's the one

She was so unnerved by the sound of his voice in her head that she shrieked as if he'd caught her naked

"Something wrong?" The young man asked.

"I thought I felt a bug in my head" Caroline huffed, wishing Damon told her he was telepathic.

"Don't you mean on your head?" The guy asked with an unsure cock of his brow.

"Hey I feel like it's really stuffy in here care to join me outside?" She asked as she saw Damon meld into the shadows as he left the bar leaving Bonnie looking in every which direction for him.

If you want to make this as clean as possible compel him before you drink.

Damon spoke directly into her mind from the shadows and Caroline's pupils dilated.

"Don't make a sound, close your eyes and lift up your head" Caroline ordered, Damon emerged from the shadows and stood beside her.

"I don't want to do this I don't want to kill him."

"You don't have to. Now drink, small slow sips try not to get lost" Damon warned as Caroline's face vamped out.

Caroline lost herself as the first few drop of the young man's life blood passed through her lips, she felt the warm sweet ambrosia pool in her mouth then satiate the nagging burn that was constantly present despite the animal blood she had accustomed herself to drinking, she felt strong, powerful, like she was the night itself. She was hardly aware when Damon asked her to stop before she killed the young man.

Damon proceeded to rip Caroline off him and throw her a fair distance away, Caroline turned and hissed at him before coming back to herself.

"Oh No, did I kill him?" She asked.

"No but you came close" Damon said licking his thumb and rubbing his saliva into the wound so it closed.

"Nothing happened, you had a little too much to drink. You felt ill so you went home. You didn't see us you've never seen us" Damon said lowly as he pushed the stumbling man away.

"Well that was interesting" Bonnie said from the other end of the alley they had stepped into.

"Are you mad at me?"

"No, how was drinking from the 'tap'"

"Hard to describe, the feeling is… the power, the one ness with the night" Caroline fumbled for the words.

"Well I hope you had your fill, because I am going to need your blood." Bonnie said with seriousness.

"Okay little bird, is there a camera somewhere?"

"No but Ester is somewhere close and I doubt she would try to take my body over if it had vampire blood in it." Bonnie said as she walked straight for Caroline.

Caroline bit into her wrist and offered it to her friend.

"Sorry Caroline, thanks" Bonnie said as she took a gulp of Caroline's essence before turning to face the threat she had been sensing since Damon and Caroline left the bar.

"I guess we meet again, little Bonnie Bennet" The young woman spoke.

"Unfortunately, nice body" Bonnie said crossing her arms as she glared at the Mikaelson matriarch coldly.

"I was hoping I could take your body for a spin. Clever girl tainting it before I could hop into it."

"I guess you'll have to find another body then" Bonnie snapped raising her hand to Ester and closing her fist tightly making Ester's new body crumple into a ball.

"Bonnie, there's still a witch in there" Caroline said with worry.

"A witch who allowed her in" Bonnie said with finality as the vampires heard several bones break.

"Incendia" Bonnie incanted getting rid of the evidence.

"Bon, I told you to try and stay away from expression" Damon sighed.

"I told you I can handle it" Bonnie snapped back she was so irritated with Damon treating her like some breakable thing.

"Let's go home" Caroline suggested.

"Fine" Damon and Bonnie growled more at each other as they stomped towards Damon's SUV.

A/N: Witches are not some kind of watchers of nature or whatever shit, witches are power and strength they walk a line between dark and light. I never liked the way they presented Bonnie as this altruistic sucker for punishment who lost her powers more than she had them. I hope you enjoyed the update.
