PLEASE REVIEW! Comments are the greatest thing in the world

OMG! Love the reviews I've been getting so far! I'm SO SO SO SO SO SO happy you like it so far! Hopefully you continue to like it!

This was originally supposed to be only two chapters but the whole Connection Thang made me want to stretch it out a bit farther. =]

"Elena." Bonnie knocked on the Gilbert's door franticly. "Elena?"

She jumped when Stefan was the one to open the door. Bonnie saw her best friend come down the stairs behind him. Elena made the 'come in' signal with her hand as she said, "Bonnie, what's wrong? What happened?"

"I'm not sure exactly." Stefan moved out the way as Bonnie came into the house. "I'm so confused right now. Um," Bonnie bit her lip and Elena seemed to read her mind.

"Aunt Jenna and Jeremy are both out. It's fine. C'mon." Elena turned and went upstairs and Bonnie and Stefan followed her up to her room.

Elena and Bonnie settled on her bed but Stefan hesitated by the doorway "I can leave, if you'd like."

"Oh! No Stefan, you'd be able to help me actually." Bonnie said. Stefan nodded once and sat himself down on Elena's windowsill. "Have you-" She took a deep breath. She wasn't sure if she wanted to hear the answer to her question but she had to ask. "Have you ever heard of a connection?" He looked confused so Bonnie tried to explain. "It's like a bond between a witch and her-" Friend? Boyfriend? Significant other? She couldn't place Damon under any of those categories. It just didn't fit him and she didn't even know what the situation was between him and her exactly. "…another person."

"Oh." Stefan mouth turned up in a slight smile. It reminded Bonnie of Damon's except Stefan's reached his eyes and didn't make you feel as if you were being looked down on or mocked. "Yes actually. I read about it a long time ago."

"He was telling the truth." Bonnie breathed. Her mind reeled. How could this be possible? What was she going to do?

"Who was telling the truth?" Elena asked. "What's this connection you're talking about?"

"It's when the witch encounters her soulmate. She is destined to be with that person. It's rare but when it happens it's permanent. Those two have an unbreakable bond. If they separate it has repercussions on the both of them. They'll both feel like a piece of them is missing and the witch will be unable to perform the simplest form of magic"

"Wow. How did you find out about it Bon? I haven't heard you talk about magic since…" She trailed off. All three of them knew what she was talking about but it wasn't something they brought up.

Since Grams died.

"I know. It was Damon actually." A look of shock passed over Elena and Stefan's face. None of them had even mentioned Damon almost as long as they hadn't mentioned Grams. "He came back. I saw him tonight."

"He found Katherine?" Elena asked. "She's not here with him is she?"

Stefan didn't comment but his expression grew instantly tense.

Bonnie shook her head. "He said he never found her. He gave up looking." Bonnie didn't look at their reactions to that bit of news but instead tilted her head back and sighed. Her body was all tense and she felt the dire need to stretch. She couldn't hear the rain hitting the roof anymore. If it had stopped she may take a quick walk outside.

"Bonnie, what happened to your neck?" Elena sounded horrified and Bonnie sat straight back up. Her slender fingers went to her throat as she turned to face Elena's vanity mirror. Stefan leaned closer and narrowed his eyes in examination. The bruise that was on her windpipe was large but very light. Her hopes of not having to go over that particular part of the evening went right out the window.

"Mm." Stefan nodded once. "Damon-"

"Oh! No!" Bonnie exclaimed before the younger Salvatore brother could jump to the wrong conclusion. "He didn't do this."

"Yes. As twisted as my brother is I couldn't see him doing this to you." Stefan said. "So who did?"

Bonnie looked at him and Elena for a minute before telling them what happened. She started from when she left the grill until Damon draining her attacker. She only left out the parts where he gave her his jacket and she launched herself at him.

Elena wrapped her best friend in a hug and murmured "Thank God for Damon's impeccable timing." Stefan just had a troubled and pensive look on his face.

"There's more to your story." He observed. His eyes studied her face intently. "What happened after that Bonnie?"

She knew she had to tell them. It was unavoidable. They both knew her too well and would never let it go. "It appears to be that Damon is the other half of my witch connection." She tried to say it with as much levity as Damon had when he was telling her about it before. "We were meant to be together."

"What?!" Stefan and Elena exclaimed.

"Are you sure?" He asked at the same time she said. "There must be some mistake."

"I thought he was just messing with me but then I used my powers. It was an accident. I was just getting so frustrated. It was like I was just starting all over again. I had no control and then- " Bonnie gazed out at the pitch blackness through the window over Stefan's shoulder. "He kissed me. I didn't stop him either, not at first anyway because it felt so right. I kissed him back." She still felt the heat of it rushing through her veins and lingering on her lips. "I knew I shouldn't have but I couldn't help it. At that moment I realized I wanted it too." She put her face in her hands "Oh, I'm so confused."
