Chapter Two

It actually took a few days for Bonnie to gather all of the ingredients together. When the potion she concocted was done it looked very disgusting indeed and he made a face when she handed it to him.

"I still don't know where you came up with this crazy plan, Damon," she asked him.

Damon shrugged trying not to sound excited as he was. "Alcohol."

Bonnie rolled her eyes.

He had spent so long feeling hurt and angry at the world and in pain. This was the first time that he actually felt a bit of hope. He was nervous too. The spell was highly unpredictable and he could end up anywhere. "So explain it to me again," he wanted to be sure about everything. "Is this going to be like back to the future? Two of me running around everywhere? That would be confusing and weird. "

The witch laughed at him and he suddenly felt like a child asking all these questions. "It's not like I know anything about this spell either. It's not even recorded anywhere. I'm kind of making this up as I go along. Which is why I think you should seriously reconsider this," she warned.

"There's a possibility of this working though right? So if there is there's no chance of me not doing this. I want to make things right."

There was a silence and Bonnie finally nodded. "There's something I never thought I'd here you say Damon. But in magic anything is possible. So, what I'm hoping in this spell is that you will wake up in the past as your past self. There will only be one of you...it's just you'll have a whole new set of memories inside your mind. You'll know all about the future and it will be easier for you to interact with people in the past that way without having to worry that there is two of you all the time."

"And that's going to make me sound like a crazy person," Damon muttered.

"Look at it this way. You'll sound crazy either way. I don't know how you're going to be able to change things or if you should tell people the truth or when you should. You're going to have to work that one out on your own. And you're stalling?"

He shook his head. "No, it's just the smell of that thing...do I really have to drink it."

"Yep. And once you do you realise that this is a one way trip. There's no coming back ok? You change things or you don't. But anything you do, even something that may seem insignificant will change this future. I won't be the same as I am now. Everything will change."

Damon took in the big picture of what he was doing and sighed taking the potion. "I know what I'm doing Bonnie. And I'm sorry about how and if this will be affecting you."

"It's ok Damon. I understand what you're doing. And anything is better then this future where I've lost most of the people that matter to me. I want you to bring them back ok? Bring Elena back."

Damon took a deep breath and took a sip of the potion to prepare his taste buds and it almost made him want to be sick. But he summoned every ounce of his courage because he sure as hell wouldn't admit that doing this scared him, and he downed the whole potion in one go.

He started to feel dizzy and everything went blurry. Then there was nothing but darkness.

Stefan had been in the tomb for months before they finally agreed with Elija that he lift the curse from the tomb and release him.

Katherine had been poising him with her words of hate and confusion. First of all despite everything Elena had gone down to the tomb to visit him and he hadn't even seen her. Soon the only time he had talked to Damon was when he wanted a supply of blood.

Instead of blocking out that manipulative bitch's voice he let them into his mind and he let himself be brainwashed by her.

When he was released things seemed normal at first. Things between him and Elena where still strained. She still felt that they were better off apart that way no one could black male them.

But then one night Stefan disappeared seemingly off of the face of the earth. The deaths in the town started to mount up. People disappearing once or twice a month, being found drained of blood. No one wanted to believe that it was Stefan but Damon was the very first to suspect it and he went back to the tomb to find that Katherine was gone also. This was a year after Stefan had vanished.

So Katherine and Stefan had teamed up. But at that point Damon had no idea just how bad things would get.

Not only had they teamed up but they had teamed up with Elija and Klaus. At first persuading them they wanted to join them.

Damon had been patrolling the town every night since the deaths started and he caught Stefan in the act of killing by the town's waterfall. A couple out taking a romantic walk.

"It must be nice to feed on human blood again after all this time trying to avoid it," he had snarled at his brother, after fighting with him and scaring the couple away. He would have to find them later and compel them to forget but there were more important things to worry about at that moment.

"You're such an idiot Damon. Those people were better off dead before they tell the world about us!"

"Why are you doing this?" Damon asked, trying not to show any emotion or weakness.

"The same reason you were. Because it's fun!"

"That's not it brother. I know you. You wouldn't..."

"I've stopped trying to be someone I'm not Damon," Stefan had a cold look in his eyes that actually made Damon afraid. "It's too hard. Katherine and I are together now. It's easier this way."

"I figured out that much," Damon hissed at him, taking a step forward. "But you can't love her. She isn't capable of it."

"Oh, she is. But me? More like I'm in lust with her. But you don't have to worry about Klaus anymore I took care of the problem for you."

He has no emotions. I'm trying to hide mine but he really doesn't have any anymore, Damon realised in shock. And then he registered what Stefan had said.

"You what?"

"Yes. We tricked them into thinking that we were working with them but Katherine has powerful friends. Witches. With binding spells so powerful we managed to trap Klaus and kill Elija...I'm surprised you didn't wonder at that fools disappearance. And I learned everything I needed to know about Klaus. We found a special kind of wood that can harm and kill him and he's gone. Now it's me you have to worry about."

"Stefan..." Damon knew then that there was nothing he could do about his brother and it scared him. No matter how much he had hated him, he had always been able to count on Stefan being the good one. Now nothing was the same.

Stefan smiled evilly. "You can tell Elena that this is all her fault, She shouldn't have played me. She shouldn't have started to fall in love with you!"

"Stay away from Elena! I will Kill you."

"I don't think you're capable of that yet."

When Damon woke up it took him a moment to focus. He was trying to remember a dream...something about Stefan...

He was sure he would remember things eventually. But now he needed to figure out where he was. A cemetery. What was he doing there? He didn't remember...it was all blurry. There was fog and the sound of a crow.

He sat up and could see a girl with brown hair and brown eyes quickly gathering up her things. She hadn't seen him. She was scared of the fog and the crow...they should really go away. Could he make them go away?

The girl was very pretty. And then as he watched her running away from him he remembered everything. "Elena..."
