A Black Magic Rose
Iced Violets
Mostly Elena POV
Author Note:
I wanted to thank everyone for the awesome reviews! I also want to apologize for the late update; I have been out of town and without internet the past 2 weeks. I did handwrite this chapter while I was gone and hope you all enjoy it.I said in the profile that there was going to be a small Damon POV at the end, but I'm saving it for the beginning of the next chapter. Thanks to all of you who voted in the last poll, dress number 2 won (it had the sparkly top with the jewel hanging down).Some of you might think it odd that I picked a Limp Bizkit song for the chapter's sound track (because of the visions of Damon Bonnie shares with Elena.), but if you listen to it, you will understand why. I also use a Daughtry song for when she is looking out the window of the plane. As far as Bonnie and Elena shopping, I couldn't think of a good song for. We'll, I should probably quit blabbing and let you read. Please Review, it's like blood to a hungry vampire! ;)
Elena sighed as she sat the phone down on the granite counter top in her small kitchen.
Ugghhh, why? She thought as she went to her bedroom. The one good thing about this room, it had a large window. The bad thing, there was no window seat to write in her new diary. Her bedroom had a walk in closet and a queen sized bed with a dark blue velvet comforter with a black trim and blue canopy. The walls were white and bare besides a single picture frame of her Bonnie, Caroline, Matt, and Tyler the day before she decided to leave home.
She walked to the closet and picked out her A.N.A straight jeans and her short sleeved red shirt with a white camisole underneath. She took a short shower and dried her long straight brown hair. She walked to the bed and threw on her clothes, before brushing her hair and putting on her high- heeled boots Caroline gave her last Christmas.
Okay, so what to do when your best friend shows up after 2 years saying she's marrying your ex and begging you to come back home where it is a great possibility you could run into the hot Italian pschycopath that you like , ok maybe even love , but of course, you can't tell him or he'll go all: "Why, hello, Elena, I knew you couldn't resist me." Or "Hi, Elena, I don't bite, unless you want me to." all the while smirking at you and doing that flirty eye thing he always does.
I smiled at the thought and shook it off as I grabbed my black purse, cell phone, and keys before walking out the apartment. I walked down the stairs, not even near ready to face Bonnie.
Fifteen minutes later, I arrived in front of the office building, hopping out of my red and black mini cooper, spotting Bonnie's silver car parked 5 spots over. I walked up to the front entrance and sighed for like the 200th times today before pushing open the door. I walked around the corner to my office, unlocking the door with a click, pushing the door open to find Bonnie Bennett perched up on my desk, skimming through a wedding catalogue looking up as I laid Damon's leather jacket on the back of the chair.
She jumped up and ran over to me, hugging me so tight I couldn't breathe. ", I've missed you so much! How's work? I heard you got some time off. Can you come to the wedding? Is that Damon's jacket? That's like his most prized possession, Armani, I bet." I stopped her. "Slow down, one question at a time, I've missed you too. I might come to the wedding. Yes, that is Damon's jacket, it was a gift. I have no clue if it's Armani, but it probably is. Damon is richer than Donald Trump and Lady Gaga combined. Can't you tell, you are a witch right? I finished and took a deep breath.
"I'll check", she said as she took the jacket in both hands and said something in Latin, I think. "It's Armani, bought in New York, I would tell you about the last few times he had it, but I think its best I show you."She walked over to me and grabbed my hand, jacket in the other, saying more unknown words in Latin, telling me to keep my mind clear before I could respond. A few minutes later, I saw a drunk looking Damon walk through the front door of the boarding house in my mind.
*Vision*
Damon walked through the boarding house to the parlor, tossing his leather jacket on the chair by the fireplace. He looked around as if listening for something before blurring upstairs to his bedroom. He noticed my note and walked slowly over to the bed, sitting down, taking my locket off the top, before reading the letter written on the front page of my diary. I watched, shaking while Bonnie held my hands as a single tear went down his cheek.
*End*
A sudden cloud of fog went through my head before showing me another vision.
*Vision*
Damon walked down the hallway to his room, drinking blood out of one of his scotch glasses, swishing it around before heading down to the study and sitting at the des, writing the note I had gotten with his jacket. After writing the note, it showed him taking it upstairs to put his jacket in the closet.
*End*
That vision blurred into another one showing me sitting on Damon's chair, wrapped up in his jacket before putting my diary under the old record player, before quickly flashing away.
Bonnie automatically pulled away, the jacket falling to the floor.
"WOW", we both said at the same time.
Bonnie quickly changed the subject and said"Wanna go dress shopping?" I finally spoke up, still shocked, "I'll go dress shopping and go back home for your' wedding on one condition." "What?" "Look me in the eyes and tell me you did not invite the Salvatore's, and they are not coming."
She looked at me, raised an eyebrow and said "I did invite them, but they didn't call to RVSP, The Salvatore's aren't coming, let's go get you your' dress."I almost didn't believe her as I grabbed my purse, leather jacket, and laptop bag, heading out the door to say bye to Meredith.
What Elena didn't know was Bonnie had in fact lied to her, partly, and was standing by the office door thinking:
Technically, I didn't lie, I did invite them, Damon didn't call, he just wrote a death threat, and A Salvatore *Not* the Salvatore's are coming.
"Hey, Meredith, I'm leaving." I said as I stuck my head in the office door. "Okay, don't forget to do that report and have fun." "Okay, see you in 3 weeks." "Okay Elena, be sure to send pictures from the wedding." "kay'"I said heading back toward Bonnie.
"Ready?" she asked. "Yeah, come on" I said, we went outside and got in my car.
After 1 hr., we made it to the nearest David's Bridal. Bonnie went to the front desk, where she picked up her dress that had been shipped. She went back to try it on. It was beautiful. It had lace on top of silk with a long train and a purple ribbon around the waist. She handed me to boxes.
"I think you will like the bottom dress best."
I walked into the changing room, and looked at the top dress. It had a sweetheart neckline and a black ribbon around the waist. I decided on the bottom dress. It was a long and flowy iced violet colored dress with a jewel at the top and sparkles with a halter neck design. We picked up Anna's dress. She, Jenna, Mary, and Caroline were also bridesmaids.
We left the bridal shop and went back to the office. Mary, Bonnie's sister was bringing her car to Mystic Falls. I will be staying with Jenna and Alaric the first week I'm in town, then I'm staying with Jeremy and Anna. Our flight leaves at 7:30 in the Morning. We got to the apartment to pack. It will be a long day tomorrow. I finally finished packing around midnight and put my diary in my purse.
*The Next Morning*
Ugggh, I thought as I downed the rest of my coffee, we were getting ready to get on the other flight that just got in was a flight from Italy. We were flying to the airport in Virginia, Alaric was taking us the rest of the way home. I sat down in my seat by the window, starring outside as we left ground. I swore I saw a blue Ferrari in the parking lot,, maybe I was hallucinating, I thought as we got further into the sky and closer to home.

Author Note:
I know this chapter might have been a little Blah in places , but I thought it was necessary to start off the rest of the story. Please Review. Let me know what you think, good or bad, it helps me to keep the story going in the right direction.
