Chapter 2:
Bonnie woke up earlier then she normally would have for a Saturday and dressed quickly without waking the rest of the household and left for the Salvatore boarding house. She rehearsed her speech during the short drive and kept reminding herself to firm. She was the one in control, she was the one with all of the power and beside her grandmother had said that she had the ability to make men do whatever she wanted. She hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door before laughing at her self and banging on of the gargoyle shaped knockers.
She waited patiently for the door to open and almost gave up until Zack Salvatore opened the door. "Can I help you?" He asked. He knew the girl who was standing before him. Her name was Bonnie and she was one of the girls who help out with the Halloween ball every year. It made him nervous to find her at the door. With Stefan pining away for Elena Gilbert, Bonnie presence could only mean that she was here to see Damon.
"Hi, Mr. Salvatore I was wondering if I could speak to Damon?" When she did get an answer she rushed to continue. "If its to early I can always come back later, I didn't mean to wake you."
"No, I was up I just don't think it's a good idea for you to see Damon." He needed to get her out of here before Damon found her.
Bonnie was confused, she didn't understand why he wouldn't want her with his nephew. She couldn't think of how she may have offended him and was saved from answering by the arrival of Damon.
"Uncle Zach, is that any way to treat a guest? Especially one that is so lovely and looking for me?" Zach bowed his head and left Bonnie and Damon hoping that he would leave the girl alive and relatively unharmed. Damon stepped aside extending his hand as an invitation for Bonnie to enter. "May I take your coat?"
Bonnie took off her coat and followed Damon into the living room. " I was wondering if there was any place we could speak in private?" Bonnie pulled at the bottom of her sweater never taking her eyes off of her shoes.
"Bonnie if you wanted to come up to my room all you had to do was ask." Damon joked. He was enjoying toying with her and was going to keep the game going for as long as he could.
"That's not what I meant. I just want to go somewhere so that no one could over our conversation." Bonnie was red by now and was losing her nerve as time went on.
"No one will bother us here. So what do I own for the pleasure of your company?" He knew why she was here he just wanted to hear the words from her mouth.
"I want to know how you know?" Bonnie decided that if she was ever going to ask the quest that she came here to ask then she needed to do it as her first question before she lost her nerve.
Else Where in the House
Zach went to find Stefan to see if he knew what was happening and hoping that he would give him away to stop it.
Zack found Stefan in his room writing in his journal. "Uncle Stefan can I speak to you for a minute?" Even though Zach knew that Stefan had a different diet then Damon and that he was suppose to be less dangerous it still didn't stop the fear that he felt every time he was near his vampire nephew.
"Zach how many time do I have to tell you that you don't need to be so formal and yes I have a minute for you to tell me what is on your mind." Stefan did his best to make his nephew comfortable around him but deep down he knew that he would always be afraid of him a little after all it was human nature to be afraid of monsters.
"Its Damon." Zach said simple.
"Zach I can't control him, now that I no longer feed on humans he more powerful then I could ever be."
"I know that. Its just he's down there with Bonnie, on of the girls from the high school and I am concerned for her. I was hoping that you knew what was going on and that maybe you can talk him out of hurting her." Truth was Zach always felt something for Bonnie but never acted upon because she was so much younger then him. Five years was a lot and Bonnie was still in high school. Zach had resigned himself to the fact that he would never have a family. He would never bring children into a world with Damon still in it.
Stefan laughed, humans were so amusing when they were in love and Stefan could smell the pheromones on Zack. "I can assure of two things. One Damon is not going to hurt her and two he couldn't hurt even if he wanted to."
Zach was a little put off at Stefan not taking this more seriously then he should. "I don't understand why your so nonchalant about this?"
"Zach Bonnie's a witch alright and not just any witch but a Salem witch. If with her new powers she can still control Damon. Honestly I would worry."
Bonnie and Damon
"Oh, is that all you want to know?" If she thought he was going to give up that information so easily then she was dead wrong. "What do I get if I tell you?" Damon replied in his most seductive voice. He looked her up down and enjoyed that he made her red again. He knew that if he was going to seduce her blood from her then he was going to have to do it the old fashion way with out any of his powers.
Bonnie was not going to give him and decided that it was time she stopped being nice and just force the information out of him. "Damon look into my eyes." She commanded him in a voice above a whisper.
So the little witch did know a thing or too. For instance she knew how to bend men to her will to bad Damon was no longer a man….well not in the traditional sense. "That little witch polar trick doesn't work on me though but I give you A for effort." Damon laughed as walked past her to the doors that would lead him to the main hall. "Like I said you want information… I want something in return so as soon as you name the right price then we can talk." Damon opened the doors before the slammed shut sending him flying back into the room.
Bonnie stood there in a trance like state looking at Damon. All the doors and windows in the house slammed shut and no one was going to be leaving or entering until she got what she wanted.
Zach and Stefan heard the commotion and made their way to the source of the noise. They made it to the polar and began pounding on the doors and shouting to be let in. "Damon let us in." Stefan yelled in real fear of his brother.
The noise snapped Bonnie out of her trance and all the doors and windows opened in the house. Bonnie looked terrified at what she had done and ran out of the house without saying another word to anyone.
