Caroline walked up to the Boarding House. Her mind was reeling over her break up with Matt. She knew she couldn't be with him, but it wasn't fair. She had found a person who liked her for her and she couldn't even control herself around him. So she did the only thing she could do, pretend that she was jealous over Aimee and ended their relationship. Knocking on the door, Caroline was surprised when Damon answered. "Oh it's you. What the hell do you want Blondie? I'm in no mood to play especially with you." Damon said clearly angrily. Caroline's fangs descended. "I KNOW!" Caroline yelled as she shoved him hard caused an unsuspecting Damon to land a couple of feet from where he was standing. Caroline's ocean blue eyes had now turned an inky black and the veins had appeared beneath her eyes. However she calmly walked into the hallway.
"Why Damon? Bonnie's my best friend. You're such a jerk." She yelled. Damon was beyond pissed. He got up and grabbed the blond by the neck and shoved her towards the nearest wall. "Listen here Blondie. You picked the wrong night to fuck with me." Caroline tried to get out of the choke hold but she was finding it futile. Just then Damon heard the front door open. "Normally, I would've staked you right now but since I'm feeling really generous, I'll let you live for just a while longer." Damon said as he released his iron grip. Caroline dropped to the floor as Stefan walked in.
Seeing Caroline on the floor and Damon leaning above her, Stefan sped to Caroline's side. "What did you do, Damon?" he asked as Damon began to walk away. "Nothing that concerns you little brother. The blond and I were having a conversation before you rudely interrupted us." Damon grabbed his jacket from the nearby chair. "I'm done with you two. I'm gone." Damon said. The elder vampire slammed the door on his way out. "You jerk!" Caroline yelled as he left.
Three Days Later
Bonnie closed her eyes as she leaned her head against the cool porcelain. Calmly she breathed in and out while running both of her hands through her hair. She didn't understand how this could be possible. For the past week and the half, she was constantly throwing up but figured it was the flu. When Caroline mentioned that she could be pregnant, Bonnie quickly reminded her that there was one person she had been with and that person was dead, literally and figuratively.
Nonetheless, she had taken the test just prove how right her theory was. Now, clutching the white stick, she wished she hadn't. It had confirmed her worst fear, she was pregnant. Unable to deal with it, Bonnie sobbed, alone, on the cold bathroom floor.
Elena was at the Mystic Grill reading. She hadn't done it in a while and it was nice to leave all of your problems and just dive into a good book. She was really into it and she didn't notice that the table she was at had gained another occupant.
She gasped as she turned to see Damon sitting in the chair next to her. "Damon what do you want?" She said as she closed her book. It was obvious that she was not going to get the privacy she wanted. "That was harsh." He said as she rolled her eyes. "So this where you spend your time when you're not stabbing people in the back." Elena sighed. "Damon I tricked you into telling me the truth. That's not stabbing you in the back. I used your own tactics against you." She said as she placed her book into her bag. "Where are you going?" He inquired.
"I thought I made myself clear Damon. I want nothing to do with you." Elena said as she got up from the table. "Oh well since you won't talk to me here, I guess I'll see you at Jenna's barbeque then." He informed her as he drowned her abandoned glass of coke.
Elena swiftly turned on her heel. "How did you know about the barbeque?" She asked. Damon smirked at Elena. "Please, it was my idea. Jenna went to high school with Mason so I simply told Alaric that a social gathering would be a good place to know the guy. You know what they say, 'Know thy enemy'". Elena was flabbergasted. "Wait, does Jenna know that you're going to be there? You're not exactly Jenna's favorite person."
Just then a pretty blond waitress handed Damon a small, white box. "Thank you, you're a doll." He said and winked at the girl. The girl smiled back at him and left. "I'm hoping that a peach cobbler might pave a way." Damon stood up and moved closer to Elena. Uncomfortable that he was moving closer to her, Elena took a step back. "What are you going to do Damon?" She asked.
Damon looked her up and down before answering. "Simple. I'm going to stab Mason Lockwood and prove to everyone that he is a werewolf. "He smirked. "See at the barbeque Elena." With that he turned and left.
This is Bonnie Bennett. Sorry I can't come to the phone right now. Please leave your name and number and I will return your call at the earliest convenience. Beep.
Caroline looked at her phone and pressed the end button. This was the third time she had called and every time she has received the voicemail. Bonnie wasn't picking up her phone and it worried Caroline. Granted she had to go to the barbeque because Katherine was threating her but she really did want to hang out with her best friend. So she made the call to drive over to her house.
"Bonnie?" Caroline called. Bonnie had invited her in so using a little super strength she kind of broke the wooden door. The house was lonely and quite. Bonnie and Caroline had the same kind of parents, workaholics that spent more time at their jobs than with their family. The vampire trudged up the stairs and made her way to Bonnie's room. With her vampiric hearing, Caroline could hear Bonnie crying to her left. "Bonnie?" Caroline called again. No answer. Tentatively, she pushed the already opened door to find Bonnie sitting on the cool tile, crying while holding a white stick.
Bonnie looked up and saw her newly turned friend looking at her with a worried expression. "Caroline, oh god Caroline. I'm pregnant." Bonnie cried. The tall blond eye's widened. She automatically wrapped her arms around her, enveloping the brunette in a hug. "Caroline, what am I going to do? My dad is going to kill me when he finds out. And him, what am I going to do about him? I'm seventeen, Care bear. I'm not ready to be a mom." The witch sobbed.
Caroline rubbed Bonnie's back. "I know you're going to get through this Bonnie. You're stronger than anyone I know." She couldn't believe Bonnie was actually pregnant. Sure she joked about it but Bonnie was right, vampires couldn't reproduce. She had to be the best friend for Bonnie. "You know what this means, right?" Bonnie pulled her head from Caroline's shoulder and shook her head. "It means I get to be the sexy godmother." Bonnie chuckled, Caroline was always there for her, making her feel better.
Caroline stood up and helped Bonnie to her feet. She grabbed the nearest towel and started to help Bonnie clean herself up. "Bonnie you know I'll help you through this." Bonnie nodded her head in agreement. "Thank you Caroline. It really means a lot to me." The blond smiled. "Now I'm sorry Bonnie but you look horrible. I can't have you running around Mystic Falls looking that. If people found out, my reputation would plummet." Caroline always knew how to brighten up her day and Bonnie knew she couldn't win. "Fine," the witch sighed. It was going to be interesting day.
Damon casually strolled into the kitchen at Elena's house. Being Damon, he made sure he had everyone's attention. "Hey." He said to the group. Jenna, Alaric, and Mason all turned around at the newcomer. Jenna's smile was all but gone as he paraded next to her. "Damon." She said her voice taking on a hint of loathing. He placed the peach cobbler on the island. "Brought you something." He said, icy blue eyes dancing.
She turned towards Alaric and hastily drowned the shot of tequila. Giving the empty glass back to him, she threw up her hands, "I'm done." She yelled and exited the kitchen, harshly shoving Damon as she passed. Alaric shrugged his shoulders at the dark haired vampire and left, leaving the two men in the kitchen. Damon mentally smiled. He loved making people uncomfortable. Walking up to the broad male, Damon extended his hand. "I'm Damon Salvatore." The man shook the outstretched hand. "Mason Lockwood. I've heard nothing but great things about you" Damon chucked. "That's weird, because I'm a dick."
Just then Damon saw Elena walk into the kitchen, heading straight for him. Mason took that as an excuse to leave. When he left, Elena grabbed Damon by the arm and tried to drag him away. "Elena if you want me to go upstairs with you, all you have to do is ask." He smirked at her.
"Damon I need you to leave, now." The brunette said as she continued her efforts. Damon smiled and effortlessly detached her hand. "Now Elena, I have no intentions of leaving here without my proof. Besides I wouldn't want to miss out on Jenna's cooking." "Damon, you have to leave because Caroline and-"The brunette words were drowned out by the ringing of the doorbell. Damon listened as the door was opened and voices filled the house.
Caroline causally ringed the doorbell. Within seconds, the door opened and Jenna grabbed Caroline in a hug. "Caroline, Bonnie. So glad you guys could come." She said smiling. The pair smiled back. Jenna moved and invited the pair in. Once they were inside, Jenna closed the door and ushered the girls into the living room.
"Damon, Bonnie is here, okay. I invited her so you need to leave. She won't be happy you're here." The brunette said but Damon wasn't listening. He was caught up in the delicious aroma that made his fangs ache. He ignored Elena and followed the scent, leading him in the direction of the living room. There he spotted Caroline and the witch laughing at a joke.
SHIT! Damon thought as he ran his hand through his already messy hair. "Caroline, Bonnie, so nice to see you again." He said hiding his uneasiness.
Bonnie heard his voice and turned around. Apprehension was breathing down her neck. She moved to rise but Caroline grabbed her hand. Elena had appeared behind Damon and embraced Bonnie tightly. Reading Bonnie's face, Elena suggested to Jenna that the girls should go outside until the food was ready.
Jenna nodded in agreement. Elena and Caroline each took one of Bonnie's hands and led her out of the house and into the backyard, while Damon just stood there, watching each one of their movements.
Outside Bonnie sat at the picnic bench, immediately laying her head against the wooden table. "Why is he here?" She asked. Elena sat next to her. "Ugh, he invited himself. I tried to get him to leave." She said rubbing Bonnie's back. Bonnie, yawned, already the pregnancy was taking its toll on her. She felt bile rise in her throat. Excusing herself, Bonnie moved from the table and headed into the house, leaving a confused Elena and a worried Caroline behind.
Bonnie found the bathroom easily. She, along with Caroline, had spent many years playing hide and seek with Elena when they were younger. Hurriedly, Bonnie entered the bathroom and closed the door, throwing up the contents of her stomach.
Damon had saw the witch reenter the house and noticed that she was in a hurry. Curious, Damon excused himself from the group to see what was so interesting. He followed her scent and ended up at the bathroom. The vampire cursed himself. Why was he even interested? He turned to leave but the sound of vomiting stopped him in his tracks.
The vampire saw that in her haste, she forgot to close the door completely and slipped inside. Bonnie was on her knees, clutching the porcelain bowl. He waited until she was finished before he began to talk. "You know if you wanted to be skinner, all you had to do was exercise a little. Besides there's nothing wrong with a girl with a little meat of her bones." The vampire said hoping to get a rise out of the witch. She acted like she didn't hear him.
Bonnie closed her eyes. She wanted to leave, to be anywhere besides here, but she couldn't gather the strength she needed to propel herself from the bathroom floor. "Please leave Damon. Haven't you done enough to me? First you killed Grams and then brutally attacked me twice without cause." She stopped there, feeling the bile rise once again.
Quickly she ran back to the toilet, making it just in time. To somebody else, it would their cue to leave, yet Damon stayed there, watching. When Bonnie finished, Damon handed her a cup full of water and a towel. "The smell is horrible, and I don't want to suffer because you ate something bad." "Please leave" Bonnie silently whispered but Damon heard it all the same. He shrugged his shoulders. Placing the items back where found them; he turned and reached for the door. "Fine witch but trust me, this conversation is far from over."
As soon as he left, Bonnie struggled to get up. Once she did, she unsteadily cleaned herself up. Her mind was boggling. What did he mean? She had enough to deal with already. Composing herself once more, Bonnie opened the door and headed out, happy to see Caroline waiting for her. "Bonnie are you alright?" Caroline asked. Bonnie was guessing she didn't see Damon leave. "No, I'm really not. I feeling like I could faint at any moment. I think I'm going to head home, Care bear."
Caroline looked at Bonnie. She smelt Damon's lingering scent on Bonnie but she didn't press the issue. Besides, she had to do what Katherine wanted and if Bonnie was there, she'd find a way to stop her. "Do you want me to take you home?" Caroline queried. Bonnie humbly turned the offer down. "It's okay Caroline. You haven't been around others in a while. I'll just ask Elena or Jeremy to take me home." Bonnie said already making her way towards the backyard. Caroline suddenly grabbed Bonnie's arm stopping her from moving.
"Elena's helping Jenna with the food. But Jeremy's free, you should ask him." Caroline said in a not so subtle high voice. Bonnie knew something was wrong but she let the issue slide she since she was so tired. She would get to the bottom of it later. "Okay Caroline, I'll ask him." Bonnie said watching as the blond let go of her arm. She gave her a hug as she left to go find Jeremy upstairs. Oblivious to the pair, a set of icy blue eyes was watching the entire discussion.
Damon grabbed the shot glass and brought it to his lips. He had just finished his tenth shot. He felt like shit. He really thought that silver would kill the werewolf; instead it only made him another enemy. Now he had to find a different way to bring the dog down. Setting the glass down, he sighed. And all through the day he had been thinking about her, the witch. Seeing her helpless brought back all the memories he was trying to suppress.
Bonnie knocked at the hard, redwood door a few times but no one answered. She turned the knob and to her surprise it opened. They have got to lock their doors, Bonnie thought as she pushed open the door and walked in. The foyer looked impeccable as always but from the looks of the now dead fire, it seemed that no one really was home. She had no idea where Stefan was, but she needed to talk to him.
Bonnie stopped and looked around. She never took the time to actually look at the mansion. Every time she was here, she was always needed for one purpose or another. As she walked down the foyer into the adjoining room, she saw the many pieces of art that they had collected throughout the century. Ending up at the library, Bonnie took her sweet time going through some of the books. It had been a while since she read anything other than her grimoire.
"You know breaking and entering is punishable by the law here in Virginia." The blue-eyed vampire drawled. Bonnie gasped, startled by the voice and in the process, dropped the book she was previously reading. The vampire chuckled as he blurred from her sight and reappeared in front of her, holding the book. "Pride and Prejudice" He read. "Hated it." He said as he threw the book over his shoulder.
Bonnie tried to push him away from her but Damon grabbed her hands, preventing any movement. The caramel witch eyes widen, full of fear. Damon saw this and released her hands but didn't move away. Bonnie calmly inhaled and exhaled. She was not going to rise to his bait.
"Damon, move." She said evenly. She didn't know if her powers affected the baby or vice versa so she tried to use them as little as possible. "No, no, no. Bonnie you didn't use the magic word." He said in a sing-song voice. "Damon move or I'll light you on fire." Yet the vampire made no effort to budge and his frosty blue eyes continued to stare at her intensely. He decided to call her bluff. "I double dog dare you, witch." He said.
Bonnie was weary. She just wanted to go home! "Just move please! I just want to go home. Do you like causing me pain because that's all you do! You're nothing but a selfish bastard! You and Katherine are just the same! " Bonnie yelled near tears. She moved her head away, accidently exposing her neck to him. She wouldn't let him see her cry, she couldn't.
The vampire's face shifted. In anger, Damon grabbed her waist and pushed her forcefully into the bookshelf behind her. "You Bennett witches are so goody-goody when in reality you're nothing but selfish hypocrites. 'Protect your own'? You're just like me Bennett." Seeing the witch clutching her stomach in pain, Damon realized what he had done. He moved to leave when he heard a third heartbeat coming from the witch. It was subtle but he was sure he heard it.
The abnormally of it calmed the blue-eyed vampire down. He listened and sure enough he heard it again. Suddenly everything clicked. "You're pregnant." He revealed. Bonnie was stunned and gripped her stomach protectively.
Her emerald green eyes looked defiantly into his piercing arctic blue ones. "And what would give you that idea?" She asked coolly. "Stop feeding me bullshit, little witch. It's unbecoming."
Bonnie avoided the subject like the plague. "I will tell you for the last time. Get out of my way before I light your homicidal ass on fire.
"And what a gorgeous ass it is." Both supernatural s turned and saw Elena standing there. Only the aura didn't match the person. The person was darker, with a malicious glint in her eyes. It had to be Katherine. "Damon, Damon, Damon." She taunted. "Slutty, slutty Katherine." The younger vampire said as he unconsciously moved to block Katherine away from the witch. "What brings you here?" He said, eyes twinkling. "The curly brunette moved closer, swinging her hips as she walked. "Oh, you know. My eternal love for Stefan and, oh I don't know, the Bennett witch. Hi Bonnie."
Bonnie cringed at the mention of her name. Katherine wanted her, why? Damon put his hands in his pockets and shrugged. "Didn't you hear the news, Katherine? The Bennett witches belong to me, especially this one. I'm sure you already realize this but I don't like to share." Damon smirked yet his eyes and his demeanor contrasted his lighthearted words.
Bonnie's couldn't believe what she was hearing. She didn't belong to anyone, especially not to Damon Salvatore. "I belong to one." Bonnie firmly said. The copper skinned witch's eyes blazed with fury. How dare these vampires lay claim to her?
Katherine sat down in the nearest chair. "You hear that Damon? She's a free agent. You're stubborn, witch, just like Emily. Let's hope you don't end up like her."
Bonnie seethed." I may be stubborn Katherine, but least I'm not a heatless, cold, manipulating bitch!"
The 500 year old vampire stopped smiling. She bared her fangs and sped towards the witch. Damon intercepted but Katherine swatted him into the bookshelf as if was a pestering fly.
Katherine grabbed the surprised witch by the throat and held her there, fangs bearing. "Listen witch you either come with willingly or by force. I'm nice enough to let you have a choice."
Bonnie struggled, trying to free herself but the vampiric strength was too strong. She closed her eyes and felt the magic within her rise. She truly feared the use of her powers but she had to show Katherine what she could do.
The magic throbbed and flowed, coursing from the witch and onto the cold hand that immobilized her. Bonnie knew she had done her job when Katherine released the witch and clutched her burnt hand. The witch sank to the floor, disoriented from the use of magic.
"This isn't 1864 and I'm not your handmaiden." Bonnie said as she stood, weakened. Damon recovered and grabbed the vampire by the neck, veins protruding from underneath his eyes. "Leave, Katherine." He said through gritted teeth. Katherine smiled, "This isn't over Damon. I will have the witch. It's only a matter of time." She effortlessly removed Damon's hand from her neck and sped off.
Damon watched the elder vampire leave, anger building up inside him. He turned just in time to see the witch collapse. Using the vampiric speed, he easily grabbed her and kept her from falling. "I belong to no one." She whispered as she closed her eyes, losing herself to the blackness. Damon picked up the witch bridal style and carried her back to his room, apprehensively waiting what the next day would bring.
