Damon: Yup
Lily 96: *Slap*
Damon: Ouch, why you little… *Runs after Lily*
Key: Well, I don't own Vampire Diaries. Enjoy the chapter though!
Chapter 5
Sleepover Madness
Bonnie POV
Last time on Love in the Time of Vampires:
"Hey, Bonnie. Do you want to go out with me tomorrow?" he asked sheepishly.
"Like on a date?" I asked excited but at the same time kind of shy.
"Yeah, if you want. If you don't think it should be a date, we could just hang out…. you know as friends." He said shyly. I smiled and reached up to kiss his cheek.
"I'd like that." I whispered still very close to him. He leaned down and kissed me. As I kissed him back, I could have sworn I heard a growl somewhere in the distance, but I was too happy to care.
Love in the Time of Vampires
One month later…
It's been exactly one month since I started dating Luka and let me tell you; it's been great! Luka is the best guy I've ever dated. He is kind, sweet, smart and best of all a witch; just like me! I was so happy wrapped in my cocoon for so long that I failed to pay attention to the other things around me. Yesterday, after my millionth date with Luka, Elena called me.
"Hey Elena, I'm kind of busy right now. Can I call you later?" I asked as Luka started kissing my neck. We were at my place on the couch, but only because my dad was not there.
"No, you can't! Something is seriously wrong with Caroline. I think we need to do an emergency sleep over/ girl time session." She said calmly into the phone. She sounded like she was already in the car. Damon was the first thing that came to my mind when the words "wrong" and "Caroline" came in the same sentence.
"I'll be right there." I told her as I tried to get Luka off my neck.
"Go? Why do you have to go? I think we should just stay here." He said huskily as he descended on my neck again.
"Sorry, but Caroline needs girl time." I tried to reason with him but it was very hard to find my train of thought around him.
"Are you sure you have to go?" he asked one more time before leaving my neck.
"Yes, but we're still on for tomorrow, right?" I asked as I got off the couch to fetch our coats.
"It better be!" Luka pouted. I stuck my tongue out at him and ran out of the house, giggling. He followed me, but we parted ways when I got to my car.
30 minutes later…
"All right; I'm here." I called out as I entered Caroline's house. The reason it took me a whole 30 minutes to get there was because when I was half way to her house, I had to go back and get some supplies. I got a pillow; blanket, toothbrush, extra outfit and then I went to the supermarket. I stocked up on chocolate, chips, ice cream and soda. Those are the things you really need at a sleepover.
"Bonnie?" I heard Elena's voice from Caroline's living room. I walked in that direction to find a lifeless looking Caroline facing away from me. She was hunched in the corner on the couch.
"What the—" I interrupted by Elena pulling my hand. She nodded her head to the doorway and I followed her, never taking my eyes off of Caroline. When we were a safe distance from the living room, Elena stopped.
"She's been that way ever since I got here, but there's something else you should know." She staidly told me. I arched my eyebrows.
"She's got bruises; a lot of them. Not to mention a lot of bite marks and I'm not talking about human ones either." That moment I saw red. All I could think about was that Caroline was hurt because of Damon. He bit her and most likely he used her as a punching bag when he was done. I was shaking with anger at how mad I was. The lights around me were flickering so badly, I myself thought they would blow up.
"Bonnie calm down; you blowing up all the lights isn't going to help Caroline." Elena's voice of reason brought me back to reality.
"You're right." I said calmly. "But staking Damon will." I turned on my heels and was just about to march to the door when Elena grabbed my arm.
"You can't." she cried. I gave her a dumbstruck look.
"And why the hell not?" I asked her with my hands on my hips.
"We need him to help fight the Tomb Vampires." She pleaded with me.
"We'll find another way!" I argued, but I knew it was a useless attempt. We tried a lot of things before we summoned Damon, but all them were futile. The Tomb Vampires were too numerous.
"You know there isn't any other way." She, again being voice of reason, replied.
"But we can't just stand by and let him do this to her!" I cried, waving my arms about.
"I know and we'll force him to stop." She rebutted.
"Oh really? And how do you plan on doing that?" I asked Miss I Have the Answer to Everything.
"We're going to spike Caroline's morning coffee with Revine, that way he won't be able to drink her blood and if he tries to compel her to stop drinking it, he won't be able to." She said in her way of confidence. Wow, that is actually a pretty good idea.
"Hum…" I hummed in thought. "Okay, but if he spills one drop of innocent blood again; I will kill him Elena. I will NOT stand by and watch." With that said, I made my way back to the living room. Caroline was still hunched in the corner, but she seemed to brighten up a bit after we came.
"Hey Caroline," I declared my presence. She turned to see me and I gasped. Her face was a mush of black-and-blues. She had one black eye and bruises everywhere else. Her neck was dotted with vampire bite marks, but she attempted to hide the marks by wrapping a thin scarf around them. They did almost nothing to conceal them.
"Hey Bonnie," her voice sounded gruff. "Um… I fell down the stairs." She came up with a really pathetic excuse for her condition. I nodded, trying to convince her I believed her. There really was no point in making her feel bad.
"Wow, be careful next time, will you?" I said in the most believable voice I could muster at the time.
"Yeah, I will. So are we going to have a sleep over or what?" she said, getting up. She winced a bit but she plastered a smile on her face nevertheless.
"Yup! I brought chocolate, chips and ice cream!"
Love in the Time of Vampires…
"Whoa, five bruises on her left arm alone? That must have been a serious fall." Luka said as we walked by through the court yard at school.
"That's just it, Luka. She didn't fall down the stairs." I said as a horde of teenagers passed us. School was out for more than 10 minutes and kids were already getting to their extracurricular activities.
"She didn't? Then why did she say she did?" he asked. I stopped walking to stare at him with wide eyes.
"Damon, Luka! Keep up!" I yelled at him. "Damon beat her up!" I cried with a loud voice.
"Oh." Was all he said. I shook my head but started walking again.
"So basically what you're saying is that Caroline's 20 something boyfriend who just moved back to town is beating her up." He gathered all his knowledge to say.
"Pretty much." I said as we got into his car.
"Well then why is she still with him?" he asked me. I sighed and decided it was time he knew; after all we could use him as an ally.
"Because he's a vampire, Luka."
Hey Guys!
I'm really sorry about the lack of updates, but school is really a pain right now. I know the chapter doesn't have a lot of events, but I wanted to get this up before the weekend's over. I have made an outline for the story so hopefully I will be more organized therefore update more. Thanks for your support and please tell me what you think.
