To Catch a Vampire

The darkness of the club enveloped the vampire and witch. Damon straightened his black suit jacket and Bonnie poised her shoulders back. She slipped her hand into his and gave it a gentle squeeze.

Chandeliers topped with red lights illuminated the large dance floor and bar area.

"Remember, he should be in the roped off VIP area. Don't get too close."

"I'll be fine, Damon."

Damon lifted her chin and softly kissed her. "You know I always worry about you."

Bonnie smiled. "I'll have him outside in an hour at the most. You better be there." She turned and walked deeper into the club.

Newly changed young vampires had been consistently appearing in Mystic Falls for the past month. Female twentysomethings, clad in short club-going dresses or skinny jeans and tank tops came in the night and preyed on young men. When one attempted to suck Jeremy Gilbert dry, even Damon knew something had to be done. After the young vampire tried to attack Jeremy, the Scooby gang made her talk. A male vampire had been changing young women left and right.

Bonnie, Caroline, and Elena went to the club the week before and befriended the gorgeous green-eyed vampire. His dirty blond hair and muscular appearance screamed former high school jock. It wasn't difficult for the girls to feign interest.

This time the other two girls stayed at home; Bonnie would entice the "Vampire Maker" and Damon, Stefan, and Alaric would be waiting in the alleyway to kill him. Bonnie walked up the stairs near the VIP area. She made her way to the dance floor to grant the vampire a full view of herself. She brushed her hair to one side, exposing her neck. Glancing to her left she noticed a tall muscular man with the devil's gleam in his eyes saunter towards her.

"Hello Bonnie." An icy chill went through her body as the vampire leaned in close to kiss her cheek.

"Hi Marcus."

He grabbed her hand, "let's dance."

As they started to move, Bonnie could feel eyes on her. She looked to her right and a certain blue-eyed vampire glared at her. Damon walked towards them, his body tense.

Please don't mess this up Damon, Bonnie thought.

Damon's face broke into a smile when he reached them. "Bonnie, is that you?"

Bonnie rolled her eyes. "Yep, it's me."

"I haven't seen you in forever. How are you?"

"I—"

"Can you excuse us, we're a little busy." Marcus pulled Bonnie away by her elbow.

Go. I'm fine. Bonnie mouthed to Damon. She quickly turned so she couldn't see his response.

The next half hour passed with Bonnie and Marcus dancing or cuddling in the VIP area. Damon projected death glares.


"Marcus?" Bonnie said. "Let's go somewhere. Somewhere where we can be alone."

"Just what I had in mind." Marcus stood with his arm around Bonnie's waist. They headed toward an exit at the back of the club.

As soon as they were in the cool night air, Bonnie spotted Alaric and Stefan to her right. She walked Marcus up against the wall and expelled pain onto him.

"Aaaahhhh!" Marcus cowered forward with his hands on his temples. Stefan appeared in front of him and restrained him while Alaric plunged a stake through his heart. The hard ashy color of his skin signified his death.

"Nicely done, guys," Damon said from behind them.

Bonnie faced him, hands across her chest. "You almost ruined it all! What were you thinking?"

"I didn't like his hands all over my little witch."

"Oh please. His hands were not all over me. And I had a job to do."

"Uh, we'll take the body," Stefan said. "See you at home." He and Alaric quickly picked up Marcus.

"I know. But I still didn't like it."

"There's nothing to be jealous about, Damon. Can I have my ring?"

Damon's mouth curved into a smile and he put his hand in his pocket and removed a three-carat cushion diamond set in a diamond band. Bonnie held out her hand as he placed it on her left ring finger.

Bonnie reached up to kiss him. "As long as you still want to marry me, you have nothing to worry about Salvatore."

Damon's smile reached his eyes. He placed his arm around Bonnie's shoulders and they walked out of the alley towards the streetlights.
