Chapter Three
As the trio stepped off the lift on to the C deck an anouncement came over the intercom. "Will all personal S-U requiring treatment please report to Med Lab. I repeat, will all personal S-U requiring treatment please report to Med Lab." Stopping infront of the door to Med Lab Bonnie took in a deep breath. "That's us." She said in a resigned sigh as the door opened. She felt Stefan's hands on her back as he gently pushed her into the Med Lab waiting area. "Ladies first." He said in a teasing tone. "I swear Stefan if you weren't captain I would seriously consider kicking your ass right now." Bonnie told him through clinched teeth. She heard Stefan's softly chuckle and turned to glare at him but one of the medical officers ushered her into the other room before she could throw a scathing remark his way.
Hoppig up on the table she waited as the slender blonde haired med officer prepared the syrum for injection. "You should be used to this by now." She told Bonnie in a reassuring voice that served in just making Bonnie even more agitated. "No matter how many times I go through this I don't think I'll ever get used to it." She replied as the girl turned to her, Vitae filled syringe in hand. Even though the style of syringes had changed through out the years, the needle equiped object still frightened her. The injection itself was over in a matter of seconds but the pain lingered a little longer. "See that wasn't so bad now was it?" Bonnie would have loved nothing more than to rip the smile right of the perky girls face but she reminded herself that violence wasn't the answer, after all wasn't that what she had just told Gregory earlier that morning?
Hopping down from the table she excited the room hold her arm. "There's our brave wittle soldier." Stefan crooned and gave Bonnie a little wink as she walked past him grumbeling to herself something about sadists. She still remembered the first time the three of them and Damon had gone in for their first treatment. Stefan had volunteered to be the first one to go. Knowing full well of Bonnie's aversions to needles Stefan had still decided to play a little trick on her. He had come out hold on to his arm speaking of a burning sensation and had suddenly dropped to the floor in convulsions. Bonnie had been near tears and almost fainted when Stefan had stopped, smiled up at her and said, "Got ya." Bonnie didn't speak to Stefan for the rest of the day and it had taken Stefan a whole week to recover from the beating Damon had lain upon him.
Bonnie smiled at the memory and Elena gave her a curious look. "What are you thinking about?" She asked her, bringing Bonnie back to reality. "Oh, I was just remembering how Stefan looked after Damon beat the crap out of him the first time we received the treatment." Elena's eyes softened and she patted Bonnie reassuringly on the back. "We'll find him Bons." Nodding Bonnie gave Elena a small smile before walking out of the door and to the lift. She had about an hour left till she had to be back in her office and she wanted to spend it in the illusions chamber. There she could pretend that Damon was still with her. The computer facimille of him was just enough to soften the ache of loniliness she felt for a while.
Usually the illusions chamber was used for training ut Bonnie would go there from time to time to visit the illusion of Damon. She had used every summoning spell known to man, witch, and vampire but none of them had been successful. She had tried to sense him several times but came up empty handed ever time. Walking into one of the illusion chambers Bonnie drew in a shaky breath and pushed a button on the consol beside the door. "Damon Salvatore, Fells Church Virginia program please." She said into the speaker. The room changed around her from a bare, greyish room to the yard infront of the boarding house and Damon appeared beside her. "Hello Bonnie." He said with a smile and reached for her.
Becaise he was there in her mind and in the program he was solid but only until the program was ended. Going into his arms she closed her eyes as she felt Damon close his arms around her. "No tears today okay?" He asked her gently and nodding her head she fought the tears that threatened to spull down her cheeks. Even though it was a computer image of Damon she still wanted to be bravefor him. Resing her head on his chest she gathered the material of his leather jacket in her hands and clung to him. "I miss you so much." She told him in a strained voice. "I know, but you can't give up hope." He replied pulling away form her slightly to look down into her brown eyes.
Lifting her face to his her breath caught as his head desceneded towards hers. A beeping sound from the consol ruined the moment and the program stopped, Damon disappeared in fron ofh er eyes , leaving her arms empty. Stifiling a scream of frustration she walked to the consol and pushed the intercom button. "Yes?" She questioned as she lent her head against the wall besided the consol. "Bonnie, there's something you need to see. Stefan says to come to the bridge as soon as possible." The urgency in Elena's voice brought Bonnie out of her saddened state. Straightening up she pushed the button and said. "Be right there." Before exiting the illusions chamber.
Making her way quickly to the bridge Bonnie was a tad breathless from her run up the mantenence stairs, the lift had been occupied and Bonnie was to impatient to wait. From Elena's seat infron of communications she gave Bonnie a small smile before removing her head set. Bonnie stood, rooted ot her spot till Elena came up and took her hand. "We've found him Bonnie." Bonnie's breath caught in her throat and her eyes widened in surprise. "Where, where is he?" She asked Elena in a shaky voice. "We received a satelite image from one of the colonies and he was in it." Stefan told her coming up to her other side. "But there's something elese." Elena told her as she and Stefan exchanged worried glances.
"What? Is he hurt? Tell me what's wrong!" She demanded and as she looked from one friend to the other a chill ran down her spine. "The image was of a colony being taken by the Fallen." Stefan said gravely. Paling Bonnie closed her eyes as various scenarios ran through her mind. "The Fallen have taken Damon prisoner?" "Not exactly." Elena replied and opening her eyes Bonnie saw a sad look in the blue depths of her tall blonde friend's eyes. "What do you mean not exactly?" She asked stepping away from them. "What Elena means Bonnie is that Damon wasn't taken by the Fallen, he is part of the Fallen." Bonnie couldn', wouldn't, believe her ears. "No you're wrong. Damon would never join with those savages." She watched as a look of sympathy appeared on both Elena and Stefan's faces.
"I want to see the picture." She told them softly walking to one of the unoccupied chairs on the bridge. Stefan disappeared into his office as Bonnie sat down and returned with the satelite image. Looking down at the image her heart felt a familiar ache as her eyes gazed on the familiar image of her beloved Damon. He was dressed all in black and pointing a gun at one of the clonists. "No." She said softly as the tears began to slip down her cheeks. Damon was dressed the same as the members of the Fallen around him. "It seems he usues his distress calls to lure the ships in the area to the colony and he and the other members of the Fallen take them along with the colonists captive." Stefan moved to take the image back but Bonnie wouldn't relinquis it.
"Let her keep it Stefan." Elena implored him and he nodded once more stepping back. Bonnie sat in silence, staring down at the image as her heart filled with ice cold dread. 'Why Damon? Why?' She asked his image silently as she stood up on shakey legs. Turning her gaze back to Stefan she straightned her shoulders. "May I be relieved of my duties for today Captain?" She asked him and he replied with a nod. I'm going to retire to my quarters for the remainder of the day." She stated flatly, walking past them to the lift. As she road the lift the short distance to B deck several emotions warred with in her.
Arriving in her quarters she pushed the lock button as the door closed behind her, walked to the chair infront of the window she had left earlier that morning and sat down image in hand. The anguish she had felt the day Damon had dissapeared was nothing comparted to what she felt looking at the image of him hold a gun to an innocents head. This wasn't the way she had pictured finding him and curling up in a ball in the chair she gave into the sobs that began to rack her body as she clasped the image to her chest.
