Bonnie opened her eyes and was immediately met by a blood red ceiling covered with rays of sunshine. She froze and alarms went off in her head. This not her room and this was most definitely not her bed. Propelling herself into a sitting position, Bonnie looked down and noticed for the first time that she was wearing a black shirt was way too big for her….and nothing else. Noticing that the shirt belonged to a male freaked Bonnie out even more. She had to get out of here, wherever it was. Scrambling out of bed, Bonnie let out a silent cry of pain once her feet had touched the red carpet. The apex of her thighs had painfully throbbed and a look of shock passes over her facial features.
She remembered.
She remembered everything.
Suddenly she started to cry and felt a breeze pass over her. Opening her eyes, she found a worried Stefan looking at her. "Stefan?" she asked between sobs. When he didn't respond, realization dawned on her. He knew. Knowing that, Bonnie cried even harder.
Stefan wanted to say something, anything that would erase her pain. But he knew, in this moment, words were useless. So instead, Stefan enveloped Bonnie with a hug. She flinched at the initial physical contact at first, but gradually relaxed in his arms and continued to cry.
Unbeknownst to the couple, icy blue eyes silently watched the pair from afar. Damon didn't know why but suddenly he became angry when his brother hugged Bonnie. He wanted to storm over there and rip Stefan's do-goody arms off her but he stopped himself. She would not be happy to see him and he wasn't in the mood to be burnt today. So, for now, he would stick to just watching.
"Why Stefan?" Bonnie sobbed. "Why did this happen to me?" Stefan wanted so badly to lie to Bonnie but he couldn't, not to Bonnie. She had helped him and his ungrateful brother many times over. She deserved the truth, even if it was an ugly one.
"Bonnie, first of all I want to know that none of this was your fault, ok?" Bonnie simply nodded. Stefan sighed before continuing. "Bonnie, Damon went through what we vampires call a Bloodlust. It's sort of a backlash from drinking human blood. Every 50 years, the true monster comes out. Last night…." Stefan didn't continue, aware of the pain-stricken look Bonnie was giving him. "I'm sorry Stefan but I can't be here. I want to go home. Please, I just want to go home."
Stefan had a really bad feeling about letting her be by herself. Who knows what she could do? While he was pondering this, he didn't notice that the sky outside had turned from a bright blue to a gloomy grey. Only when he heard the booming thud of thunder did he snap out of his thoughts and focus on the witch in front of him.
Stefan understood that Bonnie was not in control of her powers. He had to calm her down before she conjured up a literal storm. "Bonnie, do you want to go home?" Stefan queried. Bonnie nodded and the grey sky turned automatically blue. Stefan abruptly sped out of the room and returned seconds later holding a pair of green shorts. "They are Elena's." He said. Hesitantly, she grabbed them and the vampire turned around to give her some sort of privacy. The minute she was finished, he turned around and led her out of the room.
Damon used his speed to maneuver himself away from the room and down to the study. He hastily removed the cork from the decanter. Pretenses aside, Damon drank greedily. The burning of the scotch did nothing to quell the insufferable emotions that now ran through him. In a rage, he threw the crystal container against the wall across the room and watched it violently shatter into thousands of tiny fragments. Overwhelmed, Damon slumped to the floor attempting to bury the onslaught of the rage.
Why was he feeling like this? Because of her? It was not his fault! If anything, he should blame Katherine. It was because of his rejection that set off the chain or events that led to the event with Bonnie. So truth be told, none of this was his fault. Nonetheless, why did he have a nagging feeling that said otherwise? Shaking it off, Damon stood up and ran a hand through his midnight black hair. He had to fix himself up; he had a tea date with Mrs. Lockwood to attend.
Stefan returned to the Boarding House a couple of hours later. After dropping Bonnie at home and taking to Elena and Jeremy at school, Stefan was exhausted. Cleaning up Damon's messes was tiring. He hated being the serious brother but if it meant keeping Damon from hurting others, then it was a small price to pay. Walking up to the house, he thought about all that had took place in the last two hours. Bonnie was dazed and disoriented during the course of the car ride home. When he had finally dropped her off, she only spoke four words, "please don't tell Elena" He understandably nodded and she quickly opened the car door and he watched her enter into her house.
Jeremy, on the other hand, was a little bit easier to deal with. Giving him the vervain seemed to help Jeremy with his troubles but that didn't mean the score between him and Damon was simply over.
Running his hand through his sandy brown hair, Stefan opened the door and was welcomed with Damon pouring himself a drink. "Care for one?" Damon asked. "No thank you. Not hungry."
"Aren't you worried that one day all the forest animals are gonna band together and fight back? I mean surely they talk."
Stefan sat down at the nearest chair. "I'm just happy that's a blood bag, and not a sorority girl, is supplying your dinner." Damon paced in from of his brother. "You know little brother; I like this, you walking on eggshells around me because you're thinking I'm going to explode." Damon smirked.
"Damon, we have to talk about what happened. From what I've seen, Bonnie is very emotionally unstable right now."
Damon took a swig from the tumbler, purposely trying not to make eye contact with Stefan. "I think the Lockwood's have a family secret. The Gilbert device affected them but vervain didn't so they're not vampires. They're something else. "
Stefan looked unfazed by the way his brother was deflecting. "Damon, we have to worry about Katherine and we have no idea what she's up to. You have to start taking responsibility for the consequences of your actions. Bonnie and Jeremy are hurting for what you did to them."
Damon refilled his tumbler then turned from Stefan. "You don't want to hear about the strange supernatural element running around our town? Fine it's cool but Katherine is here to confess her undying love for you. So I'm going to let you deal with her because I have more important things to do like explode." The older vampire walked away with the tumbler in tow. "Damon, this won't go away." Stefan said to a now empty hallway. Stefan silently cursed. He knew things like this only escalated and it would end badly.
Bonnie suddenly screamed and woke up to a dark room. Breathing heavily, Bonnie reached over and turned on the lamp beside her bed. Running her hand through her hair, Bonnie started to cry. She relieved her nightmare. It was horrible and she didn't know if she could get over what happened. For heaven's sake she couldn't even say the word out loud. Just then, her cell phone started to ring. Groaning, Bonnie looked at the messages she missed. Not surprised, all of them were from Elena.
2:10 Bonnie where are you?
3:56 Bonnie are you ok?
5:43 Bonnie please respond.
6:22 Bon, please come to the carnival. It's not as fun when you're not here.
Bonnie almost had forgotten about the carnival. Caroline was supposed to do it but since she was in the hospital, Elena had taken over. She was supposed to go and help but...other things had happened. The witch was hurting but she owed it to Elena to go and help. Donning on a change of clothes, Bonnie checked herself out in the mirror. She didn't want to let Elena or anyone else know what was wrong with her.
Bonnie walked up to the heart of the carnival. Everyone around her was smiling, enjoying the fun and entertainment the fair provided. How she wished to be normal once again. But by her birthright, she was never normal to begin with. She walked little more until she felt her magic rise within her. It was trying to pull her somewhere. Trusting it, she let it steer her, hoping with all her might, nothing was wrong.
The scene in front of her made her stomach churn. She walked over to Caroline not even registering the others. She saw the blood smeared on her face. "Caroline?" Bonnie asked, confused. No, she couldn't be, Bonnie had to know for sure. Grabbing her arm, Bonnie felt the cold touch of death. She was a vampire. "Oh god no!" Bonnie flinched back, instantly repulsed by the thing in front of her. Caroline was upset even more. Bonnie was rejecting her, afraid of her. "Bonnie? Bonnie please say something? Anything, please!"
Bonnie turned away, unable to say anything else. She was unaware of Stefan taking Caroline away or saw Damon walked up. It was then she saw the body on the bed of the truck. She had killed him. Caroline had fed on an innocent man. She was a monster now. Incapable to deal with it all, Bonnie cried. "Suck it up, ladies we've got a body to bury." Damon said. Bonnie moved away from the truck, hearing the voice that brutally attacked her. Fury rose from within her. How dare he act indifferently towards her after what he done. She would make him pay. Using her powers, Bonnie gave Damon a painful headache and made him dropped to his knees. "Bonnie?" Elena asked curiously.
Seeing him in pain gave her a sense of contentment but it was not enough. He needed to suffer. Maintaining her concentration, Bonnie saw the fire hose to the right of her. "It's your entire fault! Everything is your fault and for that, I have to make sure you suffer. It's the only way." Bonnie said as the water gushed from the hose traveling towards Damon.
Elena watched in fear as the water ignited, creating a trail of fire that led to Damon. She had to stop it, stop Bonnie from hurting Damon. "Bonnie, stop this." Elena screamed. In spite of that, Bonnie could not hear her. It was as if she was in some sort of trance. "Bonnie, stop this please!" Damon was on fire, trying desperately to put out the flames. Hearing him cry out in pain, Elena did the only thing she could do; she jumped through the fierce wall of flames to get to her best friend.
Bonnie's concentration broke when Elena shook her. Bonnie didn't understand why Elena of all people would defend Damon. "Why did you stop me?" Bonnie asked anger radiating off her. Elena looked at the witch as if she had grown two heads. "Because this isn't us, Bonnie. This can't be us." Elena tried to put a comforting arm around her but Bonnie furiously pushed it off. "He has to suffer, Elena. He RAPED me! Does that mean nothing to you?" Bonnie sobbed and she backed away from her realizing what she had just confessed. Elena couldn't believe what she just heard. "Damon raped you? Oh god Bonnie!" Elena pulled Bonnie into a hug, letting the witch cry on her shoulder. She turned and gave the forgotten Damon a glare that mirrored all the hate she now had for hm. She led Bonnie to her car and drove to her house all the while taking in the new developments that had taken place during the course of the day.
A/N: Sorry, this chapter was really hard to write so it took me a while. Whoa, there were a lot of new developments. Please tell me what you think!
