Part 11 – Witchy trouble
"Hey Damon" Hayley said casually.
"Yeah"
"Take off your clothes" Damon's hands immediately went to his shirt and ripped it off.
"Okay stop"
"What was that?"
"The sire bond" Caroline answered.
"Sorry bud but you're going to have to pack up your essentials… I am going to take you somewhere where you can break the bond before Klaus finds out the sire bond is still active." Hayley said making her way to her room.
"Maybe you could take a break as well, go see your mom. Check on Stefan and Lena for me, and Jeremy for Bon…" Damon said removing the rest of his ruined shirt.
"What about Bonnie?"
"The witch stays with me" Damon shrugged as he went to tell Bonnie that they would be going of the grid with Hayley in some dense bush more than likely. He hoped witchy wouldn't be too put off by mosquitos and other creepy crawlies not to mention the lack of technology…. She was definitely going to witchy migraine him.
"Take Kai with you… if something happens you can use him as a human shield at least."
Caroline rolled her eyes, they always stuck her with Kai.
Bonnie was grateful for small mercies, Damon under duress from Hayley, let Bonnie stay in a cute little BnB while the 2 of them got their Hybrid on. It also meant that despite the comfort of having a roof over a head and hot water she was bored as hell.
"Stupid blood sucking leech." She growled, flopping down face first on the bed. She could have been at their home, practising spells, reading grimoires or catching up on all the shows she missed while being dead. Damon insisted on dragging her everywhere.
"Well seeing as Damon decided I had to come I will amuse myself and rifle through his stuff." Bonnie sighed and pulled Damon's bag towards her.
She first got out his toiletries, then his clothes, unsurprisingly there was no underwear.
"Surprise, surprise he likes to free ball." Bonnie shook her head in annoyance as she continued her exploration.
She found his ID which stated he was born in the 1980's and his wallet which was brimming with little pieces of paper with numbers and lipstick kisses, scoffed and threw them away. Next she moved on to a really old photo of a painted picture in it were 2 boys one in his early teens and the other a mere child.
"That must be Stefan and Damon" Bonnie smiled caressing the photo of the Salvatore brothers.
Lastly she found a picture of Elena, she felt bad for Damon. All he did on the other side was talk about what he would do when he saw Elena, how he would take her in his arms and kiss her senseless. He threw his future with her away permanently when he gave Caroline the cure that they collected in the prison world. She protested against it passionately but Damon would not listen. He wanted to return Elena's humanity to her as a wedding gift for her and Stefan. He would see Stefan again in time but he knew Stefan wanted Elena to live life fully as a human. Bonnie leapt in shock as Damon's phone rang.
"Hello, Damon Salvatore; cocky bastard and supposed sexy beast at your service" Bonnie said in a terrible attempt of mimicking Damon's voice.
"Bon?" Caroline questioned on the other side.
"Yeah, Damon isn't here. They haven't been back since yesterday morning." Bonnie sighed crossing her legs Indian style as she packed Damon's belongings back in his bag.
"Jeez, I can't imagine what Damon must be going through. I called to let you know I have reached safely as you ordered. I spent the morning with the newlyweds and handed them the cure. I told them that you led me to it through a dream and you told me that you love us and want us to be happy." Caroline sighed. She did not like lying to Elena even if they were not the very best of friends for the moment.
"What did she say?"
"Stefan was being Stefan, broody and sceptical and Elena cried and said she missed you too"
"I miss her too…"
"Yeah… Anyway. I have great news! My correspondence studies have been approved so I can come home and continue with my education and my vampucation" Caroline laughed and Bonnie rolled her eyes at her use of Damon's newest word.
"That's great! I was hoping you could continue with the semester rather than doing it all over again here. You would have lost so many months of work."
"Mom isn't too happy with me right now so I think I am going to stay here for a week or two… maybe I can convince her to hang up that sheriff badge for some mardi gras beads." Caroline chuckled.
"How is Jeremy?" Bonnie asked almost forgetting about her ex boyfriend.
"Drunk off his ass most likely, his relationship is kinda rocky with the baby included…"
"So is it a boy or a girl?" Bonnie asked composing herself.
"A girl… he named her Anna"
"I guess we know who it's been all along."
"Oh come on Bon you have this thing with Damon now. I must say I found it unsettling when you started seeing him. It was like my 2 younger siblings turned into Cercei and Jaimie"
"Who?"
"Gosh you are so watching that show with me and Damon, from the beginning!"
"So I need to jet. I am meeting Matt and Tyler at the grill for drinks. Then I am having dinner with my mom. I am hoping she finally met someone! By the way Enzo is still moping around town, he's been following me it's creepy."
"Be careful Care, I don't get the greatest vibe from him."
"If he pisses me off I'll just ask Damon to bite him. Take care!" Bonnie sighed as her stomach rumbled in hunger. She finally hit the jackpot in one of the pockets on Damon's bag she had never felt so happy to see an energy bar in her life. It was at that moment when she was making foodgasm sounds that Hayley and Damon decided to return – naked…
"What the hell is wrong with the 2 of you!" Bonnie yowled blocking her eyes.
"Well we can't exactly wear clothing as wolves." Hayley said coming out with a towel thrown over her shoulder along with a little cosmetic bag with her essentials and clothes. Damon followed behind her with his black jeans on and some clean clothes thrown over his shoulder and Bonnie's bag in his hand.
"We're going to commune with nature and go skinny dipping" Damon shrugged and emptied Bonnie's bag out on the bed, grabbing a simple dress and throwing it at the young witch.
"What makes you think I want to go skinny dipping with you."
"You're coming skinny dipping with us" Hayley grinned using her vampire speed to strip and throw the dress over Bonnie in 2 blinks of an eye.
"Hey Damon did one of your relatives marry one of Hayley's ancestors? The two of you a too much alike" Bonnie snorted then yelped as Hayley threw her over her shoulder in a fireman hold and vamped off with the screaming witch.
Day had almost completely faded to night by the time the trio returned, they stopped by a diner a little ways away from the BnB and got themselves (mainly Bonnie) some food after which Damon and Bonnie returned to their lodgings whilst Hayley went out to meet Jackson for some nookie.
"How is the breaking of the sire bond coming along?" Bonnie asked as they played black jack on the floor.
"Not as great as I hoped but we are making inroads" Damon huffed.
"Do you feel any different?"
"My senses are sharper and the taste of human food is a little more palatable, I hate that I now have to turn into a dog"
"On the bright side, you can kill vampires with a bite and you won't be affected by a wolf bite"
"And I have to do all this strange new pack stuff, it's embarrassing having to lose yourself like that… the wolf is like this other being, you're kind off awake but you're taking a back seat in your own body for some kind of body snatcher…"
"You could have been dead..."
"Hayley told me about the stunt with the glass piece" Damon's eyes burned into Bonnie.
"I need you to put yourself first my little bird, I don't want you throwing your life away especially not for someone as undeserving as me."
"What point is there to live without you Damon, was all that shit we went through for nothing?" Bonnie almost growled.
"I have lived a long life Bon, I've seen many places and I got to see two people I care for so deeply be happy."
"It's not so happy if Elena isn't whole" Bonnie argued.
"Can't you just let me be happy instead of going on and on about Elena's happiness?"
"Sorry…"
Bonnie looked away and Damon sighed and held his arm out to Bonnie pulling her to his side.
"We have a new lease on life without the old bullshit and baggage, let's just be in the now." Damon said into her hair as he kissed her temple.
"Jeremy had a little girl… he named her Anna… I am actually not surprised. I guess I'll always be the girl the guys settle for or want to use for her witchy powers." Bonnie laughed humourlessly.
"Hey, what did I say? New lease none of that old crap. You are a wonderful, sexy amazing woman with a banging bod" Damon gave emphasis by squeezing Bonnie's ass cheek and grinned as she shrieked and slapped him on the chest.
"I am so grateful to have you around."
"Me too Bon, me too"
It took three more days for Damon to break the sire bond completely. Bonnie was grateful to be back in her own bed in her own home with all the comforts of the modern world.
"Bon, I'm going out for… pack business" Damon called out, the term feeling strange and foreign in his mouth but he had to stand by Hayley.
"Don't forget Marcel is coming by with his witch friend for dinner, we're running low on blood. Caroline usually does the blood runs, but she's away."
"Blood, no problem. Call Caropire, tell her to come home soon" Damon called and vanished from the porch after closing the door.
It was well after noon when Bonnie finished cleaning their home from top to bottom and got started on dinner when she got a call from Caroline.
"Hey Caro, how was the wedding? I was just about to call you!" Bonnie waved at Hayley and Damon as they entered the kitchen.
"What! How is that even possible?" Damon and Hayley's ears perked as they overheard Caroline hysterical on the other end. Bonnie not knowing what to do handed the phone to the oldest person in the room at that moment… Damon.
"Care bear, we will figure it out later we need you to get home for now… then we'll figure out a way. Where are you? Good stay at the boarding house. Help is on its way" Damon turned to Hayley who raised her hand to him.
"I'll go you don't need to ask… You realize I need to take Klaus… He's the only one the witches will have trouble with, he can keep them occupied while I escape with Care. I'll bring her home safe."
"Thank you, be careful. I would go but Caroline said she doesn't want me or Bon there as we heard."
"I am going to go get Klaus. You two need to start prepping. I guess it's a good thing you're meeting Davina. She's cool, she's just been dealt a raw deal by Klaus… I hope you're able to sway her to our side before she becomes a host body"
"We'll do our best. Good luck with Klaus" Bonnie said coming to stand beside Damon whose arm automatically went around her waist.
When Hayley left Bonnie let out the breath she was unintentionally holding and turned to Damon wide eyed.
"How the fuck is Caroline a surrogate for Alaric and Jo's kid?" Bonnie panicked and Damon shrugged, he knew absolute fuck all about witches, sure he'd fucked a good few but he'd never bothered to study the craft, maybe it was time he started enlightening himself seeing as the most fucked up witchy crap happened either to him or the people her knew.
"If Alaric is an original how was he able to procreate…" Damon wondered…
"What exactly has been going on in Mystic Falls while we were dead…?" Bonnie sighed. She felt a headache coming on with the shit storm she felt approaching.
"I swear the place is cursed" Damon sighed and unconsciously slid his hand further up Bonnie's shirt, fingers strumming on her ribs below her breast while her heart pound and pulse raced.
"You okay Bon?" Damon asked felling the change in the rhythm of her heart beat and raising a brow in confusion as his partner had her eyes closed he head tilted towards the heavens as the blood racing through her vein brought his gaze to her supple neck.
"Yeah, it's just we never get a break you know… Can you finish up with dinner while I go get ready?"
"For Marcel?" Damon tried very hard not to spit out the name.
"Are you crazy, after what the 3 of us did to him I don't know how I am going to face him! He must think I'm such a tart, Goddess I met him like 5 minutes and tried to lick him…"
"As I recall Caro did the same, and Hayley was pretty much trying to rape the guy…" Damon teased and Bonnie threw a dishtowel at him then raced to her room.
A/N: Annnd done... Sorry for the delay guys, I had three different ideas for this chappie... one involved Stefan and Enzo but I scrapped it, the second involved Liz's cancer and I scrapped that too because they just gave Liz a dread disease to make Caroline loopy so she'd fall into Stefan's arms and Stelena would be dead for good, sadly Steroline was a huge fail...Thanks for the kind words Dawnkind!
Dawnkind: I did enjoy it! Bamon's slow burn is driving me crazy. More, please?
I don't want to rush the Bamon and do the whole jealousy angle I want them to be as natural as possible...
Kai is not Jo's twin brother in this fic, he is just a weird guy named Kai as was my initial impression of him when I stopped watching VD which was when they decided that Damon shouldn't give a rats ass about Bonnie when he made it home because of her sacrifice... that was just it for me. I had been watching it in drabbles before but that particular moment destroyed it for me, Bonnie's always getting tortured and having to sacrifice the few people that do truly care for her and what do they give her in return? The Damon knock off, seriously WTF! Okay rant done I hope that bitch Julie Plec and her dumbass minion Caroline Dries end up in a special place in hell... I am going to my good place which involves Eric Northman... sigh... I miss True Blood... Anyway. BTW there was an author here, KazumiXHeartless, not sure if she's switched accounts but hun if you are still following my fics drop me a PM just so I know you're okay :)
Love
