Part 12 – Magical space buns

Elena was surprised to find Klaus and Hayley on her doorstep, she was even more surprised when Caroline practically leapt at Hayley blubbering.

"Elena Gilbert… mortality suits you" Klaus greeted the now human Elena.

"Klaus." She nodded stiffly, she would never trust the original.

"You ready love?" Klaus asked Caroline who simply nodded her tear streaked face. There was another knock on the door and a human Alaric entered drenched in blood followed by Sheriff Forbes.

"Am I missing something?" Klaus asked circling the broken man.

"There was a barrier over the town that kept magic out, when Alaric passed the barrier after an accident and he lost his vampiric powers, Jo is…. was a doctor she saved him in his human form…" Matt answered from behind Elena as he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Interesting… and the barrier?"

"Jo was a witch, her old coven had a vision about her unborn twins and came here to kill her along with the babies… They were siphon witches, they absorbed all the magic from the barrier." Elena patted Matt's hand on her shoulder. Klaus noticed the absence of her wedding ring.

"I'm ready…" Caroline said leaning on Hayley looking pale.

"What's wrong with her?" Klaus asked coming to Caroline's side.

"They are siphon witches, they're siphoning the magic that makes me a vampire." Caroline began tearing up again.

"Then get them out!" Klaus growled at Elena, Matt and Alaric.

"They can't, no one can operate, how do we explain why I keep healing when they cut me?" Klaus put his hand on Caroline's flat stomach and concentrated, sure enough there was a slight pull as the twins started feeding off the magic that brought him into being. He let them have their fill and removed his hand when the pull stopped. Caroline looked at him wide eyed.

"Drink" Klaus said as he offered his open wrist to Caroline.

"We're going to have to discuss this with your witch" Klaus said offering his hand to Caroline after she took in his blood.

"Care, stay here we'll figure it out. I can call Lucy Bennett. Let us help you." Elena pleaded with her friend.

"I have people back home who need me."

"But you are home Care…"

"Home is in New Orleans"

"Where is Stefan?" Hayley asked and Elena's eyes went cold.

"We aren't together anymore… I filed for divorce." Klaus eyes flicked to Caroline and she shook her head.

"Rigggght so then let's be on our way." Hayley said wanting to leave the boarding house and all the drama that came with Mystic Falls behind.

"How can you take Klaus's side!" Davina screeched at Bonnie who was pinching the bridge of her nose to keep from slapping the young witch in front of her.

"You need to learn to understand the bigger picture." Bonnie sighed then glared at Damon and Marcel who had retired to the other end of the room for gin and B+.

"Should we intervene… it could get ugly" Marcel asked Damon.

"Let the witches handle each other, the only thing you'll achieve getting in the middle of them is a major witchy migraine…"

"Personal experience?" Marcel questioned.

"You have no idea... I wouldn't get in Bonnie's way if she's mad. She nearly burn me alive once." Damon shrugged and Marcel glared at him.

"And you're still with her…"

"I'm a masochist" Damon responded with a feral grin.

"The bigger picture! He killed my friend, he's threatened to kill me and he has killed dozens of other witches."

"So why didn't you save them?' Bonnie asked, her voice like ice.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. You're the all-powerful witch Davina, the harvest girl, the pet of the ancestors. Where were the ancestors when all these witches were killed? Watching silently right? The ancestral witches are no better than the vampires, they too will kill whoever stands in the way of their goals."

"That's different…"

"How different Davina? Do you know how many witches have fallen since Ester returned with Mikael, Finn and Kol or do you just not care?"

"I'm not the one shacking up with one of them…" Davina argued childishly and found herself flung against the wall of the Salvatore house with Bonnie glaring at her. She couldn't move, any spell she tried was simply crushed by Bonnie's expression.

"Bon" Damon murmured from his spot on the other side where he held a hand in front of Marcel to keep him from attacking Bonnie. Bonnie sighed and released the foolish younger witch who slid boneless to the floor.

"How did you do that? You didn't even call to the powers of your ancestors…"

"I don't need to. I broke away from them because all of this bullshit is their fault. You think witch ancestors care about you? Think again. I died more times than I care to count, I had the guilt of the ancestors torturing my grandmother for trying to keep my friends alive. You know how I came back each time… It was Damon, we never saw eye to eye but he was always the one who rescued me not the fucking ancestors. The day you stop thinking of the ancestors as some sort of shield and start seeing them as the true danger they are, on that day come see me."

"Damon, I am going to bed. I'll see you in a bit. Please clear up for me." Bonnie smiled at Damon then trudged up the stairs.

"I guess we should go." Marcel said draining his drink.

"Probably for the best… Listen; don't tell Bonnie I said this but she's right. I nearly kill her because of one of her ancestors… never trust witch ancestors, they will use you to their own ends and once you're on the other side they will use you some more. The girl is very young and naïve, Bon was different. I feel for you brother, you're going to have a hard time keeping her from causing her own life to terminate prematurely." Damon patted the chocolate (A\N: Fuck it I would drink Marcel if I could he is just hot hot HOT, OMFG it should be illegal to be that yum!) vampire on the shoulder. Tossed the leftovers and the dishes into the trash because he wasn't a homebody who was going to clean up and all the other domestic shit.

"Close the door on your way out" Damon said as he raced up to the master bathroom to find Bonnie up to her neck in bubbles with a very suspicious looking muffin in a saucer in the side.

"They gone?" Bonnie asked as she played with the foam. Damon listened for a second waiting to hear the click of the front door.

"They have now." Damon shrugged and turned around.

"Want me to close the door on my way out?"

"I left if open for you."

"My my little witch, aren't you playing it on the edge tonight."

"Join me" Bonnie smiled lazily rising slightly so Damon could see the tops of her firm young breasts as she crossed her arms on the rim of the tub and held her hand out to him.

"I don't think that's such a good idea…"

"Bah humbug, just strip and get in. I put a new bubble bath in."

"Are you trying some new potion on me, cause if I come out looking like the red woman when she removes her necklace I'm going to be pissed." Damon walked towards the tub only to be pulled in with his clothes on by the witch.

"The hell Bonnie."

"You were taking too long."

Damon took out his drenched clothing as Bonnie opened the hot water to reheat and replenish the lost water.

"Happy now?"

Bonnie turned around and slowly lay against Damon's chest. Damon wasn't too sure of what the witch was up to

"Much better" She purred as Damon enclosed her in his arms.

"Bon, what is that" Damon said pointing out the questionable muffin.

"It's a space cake! I baked it!" She said with glee as she tried to dive towards the muffin.

"Please tell me you aren't going to eat it."

"No, no, no, this one's yours I already had mine" Bonnie sighed happily then held it to Damon's mouth.

"I found the recipe in Grams stuff… Have it!"

"This won't have much of an effect on me you know…"

"You're rejecting it… you're rejecting me." Bonnie said with teary eyes.

"Bon you know I'm not."

"Is that why you didn't fuck me in the prison world?" Bonnie pouted cutely and Damon didn't know what to say.

"Why would I do something like that to you!"

"You don't find me attractive…" Bonnie said sadly as she moved away from him.

"Bon, you are beautiful, and a sexy kitten to boot."

"Then why didn't you feel anything for me"

"Bon, you are so important to me, I could never use you for your body. I respect you too much for that! You are kind and brave and the most selfless person I know." Damon said cupping her face and placing a kiss on her forehead. Bonnie slid her arms around his neck and lay on top of him. Damon's fingers strummed against her spine in soothing manner, he kept his hands to her safe parts, her back her ribs and her head. It was torture mentally controlling his soldier. Soon Bonnie's heart rate slowed as she slipped into a light sleep. Damon carried her to her room and lay her on the bed bubbles and all. She grabbed his hand as he turned to leave.

"Stay, hold me"

Damon knew he was fucked at this point, either the witch would complete her Damon barbecue plan from all those years ago or they were going to be in for a very awkward awakening the next morning.

A/N: Another one done... It was that moment when Bonnie was in pain and trying to fry Damon that I became a Bamon fan... What was your Bamon fan moment?
