Bonnie Pov.
I woke up tightly snuggled into Damon's chest, his warm arms wrapped around me protectively, sleeping soundly.
Planting a small kiss on his cheek, I quietly crept out of his arms, and snuck to my feet.
Without warning, my arm had grabbed and I was now spun around and flung back into Damon's arms.
"Trying to sneak away, I see?"
His voice was husky but light, a smile crept onto his lips as my face was now inches away from his.
"You were meant to be sleeping!" I protested, in a fit of giggles.
He pressed his lips to mine.
"How am I meant to sleep, when I've got you who just doesn't stop bloody sleep talking? Do you ever shut up, geez?"
His lips were now curved into a smug grin.
Glaring at him, I jabbed a finger into his chest and now stood up properly, flattening out my jeans and t shirt.
Groaning, Damon stood up and stretched before snaking his arm around my waist.
"I've got to go home; my mum will be having a fit."
He rolled his eyes, and now his small chuckle faded into a flat expression. He looked concerned.
"I don't want you to go back..." His voice trailed off silently.
Confused, I turned to look at him in the eye, having to arch my neck up slightly from the height difference.
He knew I wanted an explanation, he just didn't want to give it.
"because..." I pressed on.
"It's not like your parents will even notice, if they are back to their normal self, you know that they will just be too busy at each other's throats to even notice you were gone."
Damon Pov.
After the words left my lips, I soon realised how harsh they could be interpreted.
Bonnie's eyes began to well up, and she stared at me, embarrassed.
"Am I really that unnoticeable? You know, maybe they don't notice me all the time, and I do realise I'm not the most stunning thing around, but I'm not invisible Damon!"
I flinched at her rare tone.
"No, Bonnie. Oh don't, you know I didn't mean it in that way!"
Her face was now almost a scowl, and I could do nothing but stare, bewildered at the state she had gotten herself into, not like Bonnie at all...
She threw her hands up in the air, and was now glaring at me.
"Of course you didn't mean it that way, did you Damon! You never do!" She spat.
Storming out the room, I followed her quickly.
"Bonnie!" I growled after her.
Exactly what I expected to happen, did happen, I was not all that astonished, when Bonnie went tumbling back into my arms.
"Stefan!" I yelled out.
I stared down at my little bird, unconscious in my arms. Slowly, I took her back to her place on the sofa were she was just a few mere minutes ago. Placing her down, I waited for the action to begin.
"Oh, Carra." I whispered.
In a few short minutes, Stefan was at my side, staring puzzled at Bonnie.
Anxious silence had surrounded us, but it did not stay for all too long.
Bonnie's frail body, rocketed up faster than I have ever seen her move before.
In a robotic motion, her legs flew to the side, and landed firmly on the floor, she stayed seated though. Her eyes staring firmly into mine. The person I was staring back at though, was not my Bonnie, it was somebody completely different, in her body.
Steadily, Stefan edged closer towards me.
"Well hello, the Salvatore brothers, it is an honour."
Her voice was coarse and croaked, she sounded like an elderly lady, in the body of a eighteen year old.
"Who are you?" Stefan said quickly, before I had the chance.
Her head shot towards him.
"My name is Erica, Stefan, I am an ancestor of Bonnie's a very old one at that, thus making myself a druid. I have been dead many long years, my boy, but seemed to have been called up to send you young fellows this message."
My patience was running out, with this woman.
"Well! Get on with it!" I snapped.
Stefan placed a firm had on my shoulder, I gritted my teeth.
"My message is, Damon. Bonnie, your Bonnie, is in grave danger, there is a snake in the grass seeking for this fine girl, you must be careful, boy. Young Bonnie, with a heart so pure, you must not allow her to be taken by this thing, never, you must not! He already has the power to grasp her personality, he had done it before I had taken over her, do not let him take over her, brothers, YOU MUST NOT!"
Her voice had turned into a shriek of pure terror.
"WHO! WHO IS AFTER HER!" I roared with all the might I had.
Before I could receive a reply, Bonnie's limp body, fell backwards onto the sofa.
A shrill of anger washed over my body, and I began pacing, screaming out any word that popped into my mind.
"Il bastardo! Io li ammazzo, nessuno, nessuno prenderà la mia ragazza. Io non lo permetterà ! I bastardi, io li ammazzo, nessuno di loro, tutti loro, io li ammazzo subito!"
Stefan told me to be quiet, and I turned on my heels, to snap at him right away, but I couldn't.
Bonnie's fire cracker red hair, had now caught my eye, as I noticed her attempting to stand up.
Within seconds, I had shoved Stefan out of the way and was standing at Bonnie's side, her brown orbs melted into mine.
Stefan gave a small chuckle at my expression to see Bonnie awake, and slowly left the room.
Confused, I brushed away a stray tear that was sliding down her cheek, with my thumb.
"Carra?" my voice was laced in puzzlement.
She hung her head in shame, now my hands cupped her heart shaped face, and scanned her eyes for a source of what was wrong.
"I, It wasn't me, Damon. Shouting at you like that, before everything went black, when you mentioned my parent's, it wasn't me, I couldn't control it- it, I could feel it coming out of my mouth, but it was not me! Damon, I, I'm sorry! I didn't, It-"
Her voice was shaking, she seemed distraught. Oh, how Bonnie McCullough, worrying about upsetting me after being taken over by a thousand year old druid!
I pulled her small body into my arms, holding onto her as tight as I could. For that moment, nothing else mattered, just that I had her, here, in my arms, clutching onto her, as if to let go would mean to be parted forever.
"I love you."
I whispered into her ear.
She pulled her head back, and looked me in the eye, tears still pooling over her translucent skin.
"You really mean it?" She sniffled.
"Forever and ever, Carra."
"I love you too."
She wiped her tears quickly.
Reaching up onto the tip of her toes, she pressed her lips to mine, I responded passionately.
Tucking a hand under her thigh, I lifted her body up off the floor, to give her more freedom.
She clutched tightly onto my hair, and I continued to hold her close.
"I'll protect you; I won't allow a thing to happen to you, Red. I promise."
Once again, I crushed her lips to mine.
Michael Pov
I couldn't help but grumble down the phone to my smug nephew.
".. I told you, I told you that you would need my help."
"I do not need your help; it would just be useful having you here!" I snapped at the obnoxious twit of a nephew, unfortunately, he is unbelievably powerful and useful.
I was practically glaring down the phone.
"Listen, Julian. Just be down here before midnight, she will be mine, or ill die trying." I spat.
"Fine, whatever, but be grateful, I could be searching for my own companion, instead of wasting my valuable time with you."
Straight after, he hung up on me.
Shoving my mobile into my pocket, I headed away from the McCullough front door, and into the forest, my place to think.
As soon as I had her right where I wanted her! Right in the palm of my hands, taking over her entire body, about to leave that retched bloodsucker, that damn druid had to get involved. She's dead, why can she not stay dead! Fells Church is just full of idiots.
My thoughts were stopped, and my body froze.
Just minutes away, sounds of twigs snapping could be heard, slowly creeping in the direction of the sound, I realised a good couple of meters away was the younger leech, Stefan or something like that. He was climbing into a car and from the gist I caught of his weak thoughts he was travelling to see his girlfriend, who I sensed was a human, Elena.
If all else failed this Stefan boy could come in handy, in the near future.
Without warning, my body was sent flying backwards, crashing into a near tree.
Already back on my feet, in a crouched attacking position, I was ready to grab for the predator, who dared to touch me, without my noticing.
Groaning, I relaxed my body as I realised who was standing in front of me.
The seventeen year old, cocky, ignorant, obnoxious nephew of mine.
His electric blonde hair that could be easily mistaken for a white. The completely unique and enchanting green eyes, not so much a soft pale green, or a simple dark green, but a piercing, bright colour, dazzling. His looks were enough for any girl to fall straight in love with them, that's how he was designed, everything about him invites them in, that's how Warlocks are built.
Sighing I instantly regretted allowing this little twit to get involved.
"Well, hello uncle dearest. The years have not treated you kindly, now have they?" The annoying swot smirked.
"Oh wait, he don't age do we? Sorry, you must have looked like that in the first place, my apologies dear uncle of mine."
Rolling my eyes, I began to lose my patience with this boy already.
"Julian, it seems like you have not changed yourself, looks or personality. Now stop with the snide remarks, boy, we have things to discuss."
He tapped his chin three times, giving off a wise look.
"Ah, indeed we do, let's speak about this little red head of yours, she goes by the name of Bonnie, I hear. The dear McCullough, how legendary this one shall turn out to be.."
Mm, I realise it was not the best, especially considering the wait, but yeah. Things are speeding up a bit now, it's just that every day for the past two weeks i've been in school till six, doing the Alice in Wonderland production in school, and then it takes a good half hour to get home, so yeah, I've been very worn out. Anyway, enough about me, what did you guys think of it?
Please do review, it would mean the world!
Much love,
Charl
