Chapter 3 Alone In The Forest

The day passed and Bonnie didn't see Damon again. In lunch break she learned in the library, wishing luck to Elena who had her first "date" with Stefan. Caroline hasn't shown herself the whole day. After school she went to her car, she was just tired of thinking cause she couldn't remember what happened in the toilet and although she had tried to figure it out, it didn't work. When she reached her car, she noticed an old-timer cabriolet next to hers. She wondered who had such a car, in this amazing blue green color it must have cost a lot of money. As she searched her car key she heard Caroline's extremely high laughter. Bonnie turned around and speechless watched Damon Salvatore walk side by side with Caroline to the cabriolet. She starred quite obviously when Caroline saw her too. She let go of Damon's arm and gave Bonnie a long embrace. While she was looking over Caroline's shoulder Bonnie met Damon's eyes. He fixated her with a glance full of amusement. She knew that he wanted to start this little fight. That he wanted to irritate her.

„Mr. Salvatore just asked me if he could drive me home and with that car...I just had to say yes, you understand Bon? " Caroline asked with her eyes wide and guiltless.

"A beautiful girl like you belongs in a beautiful car", he said charming and smiled at her, his eyes still on Bonnie. „I'm sure Bon is all right with driving home alone," he said using her nickname like an embarrassment.

She raised her eyebrows. „Well I hope he will really drive you home," Bonnie said and entered her own car. Damon laughed but Caroline looked confused.

„How can you speak with a teacher like that?" she whispered.

„Well, I can cause he did things to me teachers shouldn't do", she said louder to be sure Damon heard every word.

Then she closed her door and started to drive backwards. The two also took place in Damon's car. Bonnie left the parking loft followed by the old-timer. As soon as they all reached the street the old-timer drove faster to be just next to her. She glanced out of the window and saw Damon, one hand on the wheel, one on the back of Caroline's seat whispering something into her ear. The roof was open and Bonnie could hear the music. She could hit herself for feeling jealousy rising. No Bonnie, that's exactly his intention. He's just playing with Caroline, as he is playing with you, she said to herself angry about even thinking of him again. She pushed down the gas pedal violently and tried to ignore the music behind her. Damon himself watched full of satisfaction the small dark green car driving away, he has succeeded, he was sure of it. It was just so easy to convince Caroline to come with him. It wasn't even necessary to compel her; she had been seeking for his attention. Her high girlie voice disturbed his thoughts about Bonnie.

„You have to turn right there!"she said pointing on the next street.

Not really happy to lose Bonnie's car he nodded. He glanced at the young girl next to him. Her blond hair in the wind, a pink Ray- Ben on her nose, the flower dress ending just over her knee; she really was beautiful. But she was beautiful because she wanted to be, she was beautiful because she was the typical every bodies darling type. And that wasn't attractive at all. There was no dark spot on her, nothing hidden, no secrets. Bonnie on the other hand was a lot more interesting. He knew that there was desire in her, a dark lust that only he was able to satisfy. She was full of secrets, exploring her witchcraft and her character. Caroline was just a normal girl, loved by everyone, admired by normal boys of the neighborhood. Every inch of her personality could be understood within the few minutes of a drive home. The whole time she was telling him all about her, her hobbies, her marks, her mother the sheriff. And Damon listened. And all he could think about was driving his fangs into her neck. The only thing she could be for him was something to fuck and to drink. A little present for Stefan, seduce one of Elena's best friends, fucking and eating the other. The moment they arrived in front of the white house, he left the car, opened her door and smiled charming.

„Thank you a lot Mr. Salvatore!"Caroline said cheeky and went to the front door.

He followed her. „Call me Damon, please. I don't want to feel like an old men," he said laughing about the self irony.

The girl smiled back and opened the door with her key. „Would you like to come inside, drink a coffee or cup of tea for the nice ride, Mr...Damon?"she said and stepped in to the house, turning around, waiting for him. He grinned. The sheep had invited the wolf into its house. The Vampire entered and closed the door behind him.

Two hours, three fucks and enough blood to make Caroline consciousness later; Damon layed on the pink blanket of her bed. While he was taking her pale white body the whole time he had to think of how it would be to have chocolate brown skin under his hands. Green eyes watching him. Magic flowing through both bodies. He really was obsessed. He had all he could need and wanted more. Caroline was awaking slowly.

„Hey Blondie. Wakening out of your blood bag sleep?" he said looking at her naked body.

She tried to put herself up but it didn't work because she had lost too much blood. He took her head in both hands.

„Forget that I bit you. We just slept with each other and you were tired after it because it was the best fuck you've ever had. Wear a scarf every day". The compolsion worked and she smiled. „One thing more, tell me where Bonnie lives and forget that I asked you after you have answered," he added, enjoying his absolute power.

„She and her dad live in Summerendstreet, but she often visits her grandmother who lives next to the woods," she said with a weak voice.

„Thanks you a lot, Blondie", he said cocky," Now sleep again and rest your body" Slowly he stood up, took his clothes and walked down the stairs.

The whole time Damon had his fun with Caroline; Bonnie was driving away from Mystic Falls into the woods. She should have visited her Grams for dinner but she had to cool down her mind, her thoughts. And from time to time she needed a little while out in the nature. All alone. Since she was a child she has loved the feeling of being bond to the earth, natural things like wind, fire, water. So when she got a car she drove away from the city, away from parts of the forest where she could meet someone.

She stopped her car next to the road, put her music in and walked into the deep green of the trees. While she listened to the 1975 her steps started to be on the beat of the song. She breathed deep in the clean fresh air. She just had to talk to someone, someone who would understand her, who could help her.

As her legs took her deeper and deeper in the forest she knew that she had to either talk to a psychologist or to her Grams about the weird things happening to her. And about her desire for an older man, a teacher she barely knew she had to talk to a friend. Caroline was out of question, all impressed by his charming behavior she wouldn't understand her. It was interesting how he could change his character within a day. And Elena? No, she would tell Caroline or she would start a Salvatore -Relationship-Campaign to forget her sadness and her problems. But who, who could she talk to about that? That feeling she didn't even know of. This burning lust he had awoken in her body. This fire burning in her blood, when he looked at her with these eyes.

She stopped and sat down on the silky moose. That was it with her friends, a sad number of two best friends she couldn't talk to about her inner thoughts.

„Well then guys, I'll talk to you, "she said loud and clear to the needle trees in front of her." You'll listen now. And don't interrupt me!" She had to laugh about herself talking to trees.

"So I've never felt like that for a man before. Maybe it's because I never wanted to raise false illusions, follow rainbows where some aren't. Yes, there were boys who thought I had been the one. Am I a bad friend to have never told Elena that Matt came to me, one night last year, and told me that he had fallen in love with me? No, I don't think so, because that night I told him that I didn't fell for him, but someone else did. And I made him ask Elena to go with him to the homecoming party. And they both were happy for a time! Well I think I am like your roots. The world doesn't see me, but I am there, being the foundation of everything. Honestly I think Elena and Caroline wouldn't be friends without me, I always reunite them after a fight. I don't want to be selfish, but I was also named to be Cheerleader Captain. But I knew it was Elena's dream so I refused the leadership. And the job made Elena what she is today, popular, beloved and a bit selfish, an attribute I need also a bit more. And after all this sitting still, waiting, someone comes and surprises me. My calm head. My thoughts. And looks like god. Yes he does, I mean how can a man be completely perfect? Every bone and muscle on the right place, his voice so dark that your chest is vibrating...well you can't be able to understand that. You are just trees. But...I am sure that he is doing a lot of this show for Stefan. He said brother, is he really his brother? Let's say he is. And what was he speaking of when he talked about being stronger than Stefan? Is he taking drugs? Drugs making him stronger? Well that would be an explanation. Damon takes some drugs making him perfect and Stefan refuses to take them. Okay, I promise you that I will talk to him as soon as there is the possibility. First a teacher shouldn't take drugs. Second he shouldn't seduce one pupil, and then another. So I'll tell to him stop this game. And if he refuses I can go to the headmaster. Yes, that's a good idea...thank you for your help, friends" Bonnie had spoken half of her problems of her chest, proud of having found a good solution she stood up, following her trace back.

But why did she have the feeling that her plan wouldn't work out? Suddenly the music had been stopped by a call. She took it.

"Bennett? "she said.

„Dear child, I am glad to hear your voice. Where are you? I thought you'd come for dinner," the warm voice of her grandmother filled her ears.

„Oh grams I'm sorry, I really am. But I needed some fresh air and went to the woods to calm down, have you already eaten? "Bonnie began to feel bad about not messaging her in advance.

"Bonnie Bennett, didn't you hear of the animal attacks in the past few days and weeks? You can't go alone into the woods right now! It's dangerous! Please say that you're sitting in your car on the way back"

Bonnie looked on the way in front of her. „Actually...Yes I am, should I come over for a very late dinner?" she asked while going a bit faster.

„Yes, sure you can, dear," her grandmother said. „Well, see you in a few minutes, love you," she said and cut the connection.

After the warning of her grams the forest seemed a bit darker, more dangerous. The trees that just had listened to her self-reflection now were huge creatures watching her, standing in her way. The wind that had just blown up her hair a bit now let her freeze and goose bump appeared on her bare arms. Stop your fantasy Bonnie. She speeded up. With the last sun she left the forest and entered the car.

She turned on the radio, louder than usual, her light cut through the sudden darkness of the street in the woods. She could hit herself for her fear, but she had also heard about the terrible attacks in the last few weeks. Bodies, torn apart, blood everywhere. Hands or feet found by jogging people days later. How could she have forgotten that, when she decided to go into the forest? Thinking First, Bonnie! she said to herself. While the fulfilling, deep and beautiful voice of Beyoncé singing Haunted filled the car, Bonnie started to feel better. The sign of Mystic Falls appeared in front of her and she looked forward to see her grandmother, eat something and just enjoy being in the house where she had grown up. Even if her Grams would see the happenings as a proof for her crazy theories, she just needed some explanation.
