OMG! I want to thank all reviewers and readers for all of your support! You have no idea how much it means to me.
Now...Damon is jealous and when he's jealous...let's just say, its not good.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
When she noticed that I was in her room, the wistful look on her face instantly turned to pure anger and that only fueled me.
"What are you doing here?" she snapped.
"I wanted to see whether you actually made it home ok or whether you were completely brainwashed by this strange guy who attached himself to you so quickly".
She rolled her eyes, "You are unbelievable…get out of my house", she sighed as she moved into her adjoining bathroom.
"Do you know anything about him?"
"Yes…I know that he comes from Richmond, his parents are both doctors, he is pre-med, he volunteers at the county hospital on the weekends and he is a great guy who doesn't have a supernatural curse or anything else…he's normal…exactly what I want".
"You don't want normal", I chuckled, "you know that's not what you want".
"Damon…you don't know what I want", she rolled her eyes, "why are you here anyway…don't you have a date with Mila…or is it Daisy…or it Angelica today, there have been soo many…I can't keep track".
"So you're jealous", I smirked leaning in the doorway as she pulled her hair up into a ponytail.
She looked at me and sighed, "Damon, why are you here?"
"Because I want to know why you think you can trust that guy?"
"Because he's nice…he's nice Damon and he makes me feel good…he makes me feel happy", she replied.
"But he doesn't make you feel the intensity that I made you feel", I stated moving closer to her.
She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, "Damon…please…"
I reached out to touch her hair, but then stopped, "Look…I just came here to make sure that you are being a better judge in character than you were with Luka…you see where that got us before", I said backing away from her.
Her eyes flew open and her mouth set in a straight line, "I became a better judge of character as soon as I stopped sleeping with you, now get the hell out Damon before I give you the worst headache of your undead life!" she snapped at me.
I smirked, "Have a nice night Bonnie".
"Go to hell Damon", she hissed as I turned and walked out of the bathroom.
SSSSS
As I watched him leave out of the bathroom and jump out of my bedroom window, I felt a fury come over me. I picked up a bottle of shampoo and threw it at the wall. Damon had a way of making me feel a hundred different emotions at once. I wanted to hate him…I wanted to not like him at all…I wanted to go back to the pure unmitigated loathing that I had for him before we even began a relationship, but the truth was…I couldn't do that, I still loved him…there were parts of me that still wanted him, but there was another part of me that knew that we were over and we would never be together again and I had every intention of moving on…and Nate is the perfect candidate to start with.
SSSSSS
The next afternoon, Nate and I walked through the woods near the site of Fells Church as I told him about the fire that had destroyed it. "Wow…this place is quite interesting…burning down a church…what was up with that?" Nate asked touching some of the charred wood.
"The founding families were a little extreme".
"Well…you know what the rumors are, don't you?"
I turned to him, "The rumors?"
"Yeah…the people at school talk about how witches supposedly lived here and they burned down the church to kill them…crazy right?"he chuckled.
"Completely", I joined in.
"Soo…Bonnie, tell me…why don't you have a boyfriend?"
"What?" I asked turning to him.
"Come on…you're gorgeous…smart…you have a great sense of humor…so what gives?" he asked.
"I don't know…easier said than done?"
"I find that hard to believe".
"I'm not as great as you think I am", I shook my head looking down.
"And why would you think that you're not?" he asked wrapping his arms around my waist.
I opened my mouth to speak, but my cell phone began to ring. "I'm sorry…I have to get this", I said taking the phone out of my pocket, "hello…."
"Bonnie…it's Stefan, we have some trouble…can you come to the boarding house?"
I looked over at Nate who was checking out of the ruins.
"Stefan, can't it wait?" I whispered.
"No…I wouldn't ask you to do this if it wasn't important, can you bring the grimoire with you?"
"Is this about Klaus?" I walked further away.
"No…its about werewolves".
I closed my eyes and sighed, "Fine…I will be there in about 30 minutes".
"We will be here", Stefan ended the call.
I looked at my phone and rolled my eyes. If I for a second believed that Stefan was on Damon's side, I would think that this was a set up.
"You have to go…don't you?"
"Yes…something came up…but why don't I come see you tonight at the dorm?" I smiled, "I will bring some Becky Brownies".
"Becky Brownies?" Nate asked raising an eyebrow.
"Oh Nate…you haven't truly experienced Mystic Falls until you've had one of Becky's Brownies…I will bring you one tonight and you will love me forever", I grinned.
"I think that's a possibility", he replied as we headed out of the woods.
SSSSS
"Is the Little Witch coming?" I asked leaning up against the desk.
"Yes…she's coming…she didn't sound happy".
"Is she ever happy…look…I'm sorry if we are butting into her time with the frat guy…but she has other responsibilities".
"You are jealous", Stefan replied.
"He deserves to be jealous", Caroline commented walking into the room, "I mean…he breaks Bonnie's heart into a million pieces and what does he expect…her to pine for him?"
"You know Caroline, you should really shut up", I said walking over to her.
"No…I won't shut up…I went to bat for you, I got Bonnie to forgive you when you acted like an ass after New Orleans and what do you do…you break up with her and flaunt all of your women in her face…you deserve to be jealous and watch Nate sweep Bonnie off of her feet", Caroline went on.
I looked at Caroline as I felt my fangs descend and I grabbed her around her neck as Stefan grabbed my arm, "You don't know what happened between me and Bonnie…stay out of it!" I snarled.
"Get off of me!" Caroline grabbed my hands and pushed me away.
"You keep your mouth shut then".
"I don't have to do anything…Bonnie doesn't need you making things complicated for her…you've done enough!" Caroline went on.
I started to go after her again, when I heard Elena shout, "What is going on!"
I turned to the doorway to see Bonnie and Elena standing there glaring at me, "I didn't do anything!" I exclaimed.
"Look…we need to stop arguing amongst ourselves…I heard some werewolves have arrived in town and they are looking for Mason", Stefan began as I noticed Bonnie shoot me a look.
"Who did you hear this from?" I asked.
"People who are unaware that I am a vampire…I overheard some people talking at the Mystic Grill…they are looking for vampires, they think that vampires had something to do with Mason's disappearance".
"So what are we going to do…if they find out about what happened…", Elena began.
"Where's Tyler?" Bonnie asked looking at Caroline.
"He's still at Yale, he hasn't mentioned anything about this to me".
"Ok…so we need a plan…Bonnie, do you know of anything in the grimoire…", Stefan began.
"Umm…I don't know, I will have to look through it…what do you want me to do?" she asked.
"Find a way to kill them all before they kill us", I spoke up.
"I'm not doing that Damon", she rolled her eyes, "maybe I can convince them by casting a spell that Mason is somewhere else…"
"Well whatever we do…we need to do it fast, these mutts will want to avenge one of their own".
"Fine…I will figure out something", Bonnie replied putting the grimoire back into her bag.
"You should stay here until you can come up with something", I suggested.
Bonnie shot me a look, "I have plans tonight".
"What could be more important than helping us get rid of the mutts?"
Bonnie closed her mouth tightly.
"Oooh…wait…I see…", I chuckled, "you have plans with frat guy…because that's more important than helping here…wow Bonnie…real nice".
"I said I would help", she said through clenched teeth.
"Yeah…when you get around to it…will you help after those wolves have come here and ripped us all apart…will you help them or will you still be giggling like a 2 year old?"
"You really are an ass", Bonnie snapped as she gathered her bag and marched out of the living room and of course…everyone turned to me.
"What…did I say anything untrue?" I asked looking at them, "she can't help us because she wants to hang with frat guy".
"And who's fault is that!" Elena snapped.
"Oh we're back to that again…really…look, I have nothing to do with this…"
"You killed Mason", Caroline answered.
I looked at her, "Details…details…look…you need to talk to your friend…we need her".
"And Bonnie will come through…she always does", Caroline answered.
SSSSS
Ever since I left the boarding house I felt a little uneasy. I wanted to help…I know I should have stayed there and helped; but I told Nate that I would come and for the first time in a long time, I wanted to just be for a few moments. I wanted to be with someone who didn't require me to perform a spell or perform miracles. I held tightly onto the bag of brownies and knocked on Nate's door.
I took a deep breath as he opened the door and smiled at me, "Hey…for a minute, I didn't think you were actually coming", he grinned as he let me in, "is everything ok?"
"Yes…just a small friendly crisis".
"So is it over?"
"Not exactly…but it will be soon", I replied walking in and looking around. His room was pretty nice for a single…he had posters of musicians all around and had a nice electronic piano in a corner, "you play?"
Nate smirked, "A little bit…maybe one day, I will play something for you".
"Well in the meantime…I want you to sit down", I grinned taking his hand and leading him over to the futon.
"Ok…", he smiled as he took a seat.
"Close your eyes".
"Oooh Bonnie…I don't know…we've only been out a couple of times…"
I giggled, "Close your eyes and open your mouth?"
He closed his eyes and opened his mouth as I removed the brownie from the bag and broke off a piece. I placed the piece in his mouth, "Chew".
He began chewing slowly as he opened his eyes, "Amazing", he breathed.
"Isn't it good…I told you".
"You did…you did", he replied taking my wrist and pulling me over to the futon, "but do you taste as sweet as that brownie".
I felt my heartbeat speed up, "Maybe", I whispered as he bent down and kissed me. I closed my eyes and concentrated on letting everything in my life outside of these four walls drift away. He lowered me onto the futon and I took a deep breath. I wasn't sure how far I wanted to go with this, but I was sure I couldn't stop…not now.
He concentrated on my neck as I held onto him. I felt his hand trailing up my shirt and as soon as he reached the clasp on my bra, my phone began to ring.
"I will ignore it", I whispered in between kisses.
"Good", he whispered as the phone stopped ringing.
I smiled into his kisses as I felt him unsnap my bra and then, my phone began ringing again. "I think it may be important", he whispered.
I sighed as I sat up and grabbed the phone out of my bag, "Hello!" I hissed.
"Bonnie…I'm sorry…but the wolves have Caroline, they took her", Elena said panicked into the phone.
I gripped the phone tighter, "Where are you?"
"I'm at the boarding house…can you come here please?"
"I will be right there", I replied as I ended the call and got up off the couch.
"You're leaving?" Nate asked.
"I'm sorry…one of my friends is in trouble and I need to go".
"You're friends are interesting", Nate smirked cocking his head to the side.
"That's one word to describe them…I'm sorry again…raincheck?"
"Sure", he replied as he kissed me on the cheek and I opened the door running out.
SSSSS
When Bonnie arrived, I instantly smelled that dude's cologne all over her and her cheeks were flushed and my blood started to boil. She was in the middle of 'something' when Elena called and that something was definitely not G rated.
"What's going on?" she asked out of breath.
"Caroline…she left her shift at Mystic Grill and she was grabbed…we got a phone call from a female telling us that she would exchange Mason for Caroline", Stefan explained.
"Where are they…do we know where they are holding her?" Bonnie asked opening the grimoire and I thought I noticed a small purple mark on her neck, but that couldn't be…she wouldn't dare…
"No…we don't know, but I am sure that you could find them somehow…right?" Elena asked hopefully.
Bonnie nodded as she closed her eyes and my fists began to ball up. I honestly don't care if we find Caroline or not, but the fact that it ended whatever was going on with Bonnie and that random dude…it was worth it.
"Get me a map", Bonnie whispered with her eyes still closed.
Stefan rushed over with a map of Mystic Falls and Bonnie's instinctively moved her hands over it, until her finger landed on the woods. "There", she replied opening her eyes.
"That's near the tomb", I replied.
"Then that's where they have Caroline", Bonnie answered.
"Ok…so what's the plan?" I asked stepping forward and standing beside Bonnie.
She glanced up at me for a moment and then quickly back at the map.
"Well they're wolves, so we can't exactly go in and attack…Bonnie?"
"I can incapacitate them for awhile…it will take a lot of energy, but I can do it…for Caroline".
"Good…we can get her while you are handling the wolves…but we need a way to get rid of them…", Stefan replied.
"I can cast a spell making them believe that they saw Mason and he told them to leave it alone".
"Bonnie, are you sure you can do all of that?" Elena asked.
"Yes…I mean, I may be a little weak after…but the meditation and everything has helped alot…I can balance everything much better", she nodded.
I could tell that she was a little weary of her powers, but refused to let it show in front of Elena…the little witch was always too brave for her own damn good.
"Ok…let's go…and if you don't feel right at all Bonnie, stop…we will improvise", Stefan answered.
She nodded as she picked up her bag following Elena and Stefan out of the room.
I grabbed her arm as she crossed the threshold, "What!" she snapped.
"Look…listen to Stefan…if you feel overwhelmed…"
"Don't worry, you won't have to save me", she hissed ripping her arm out of my grip and walking out of the door.
SSSSS
When we reached the woods, Bonnie stopped as we looked over a trailer parked in the middle of the trees. People were standing outside of it talking, whispering about the vampire that they had locked inside and how long would it take for her friends to come get her. They talked about slaughtering us in 15 minutes. Apparently they had no idea about the little witch we had on our side.
"Ok…Bonnie, are you ready?" Stefan whispered.
"Yes".
"Elena…stay here, if anything happens to Bonnie we need you to let us know".
Elena nodded.
I looked over at Stefan as he nodded. Bonnie closed her eyes and within seconds every mutt standing outside of the trailer began to grab their heads and scream in agony. Stefan and I took off towards the trailer. I could see the mutts trying to turn into their wolf form, but couldn't due to the aneurysm that Bonnie was giving them…that's my girl. Stefan rushed inside and got Caroline, as I made sure that not one mutt moved from their spot on the ground writhing in pain.
"We have Caroline", I called.
Then I noticed the air change and I could hear Bonnie chanting. Following her chant, I heard Mason's voice, "Why are you in Mystic Falls…guys…I went To Europe, met some crazy sexy chick here and she took me on a little trip…get out of Mystic Falls, I'm not here".
The mutts all laid paralyzed on the ground with their eyes closed and I smiled, the little witch had done it.
As Stefan and I began to make our way to the clearing where Elena and Bonnie were, I heard Elena and Bonnie scream and I took off running. Elena was wielding a tree branch beating on a wolf that was attacking Bonnie. I could see her trying to hold up her bag to stop the wolf from biting her, but I could already see that he had taken a bite out of her arm. I raced over and threw the wolf off of her, as it charged back over and thrust my hand into its torso and brought out its heart, sending it crashing to the ground in a heap as it morphed back into a human male.
Bonnie was holding onto her arm as blood gushed in between her fingers, "Let me help you", I said reaching out to her.
"No…I will go to the hospital…let me…", she stood up, but already weakened by the power use, she toppled over as I caught her in my arms.
Damon's feelings are poking through...but will Bonnie see them?
