Chapter 5

Here it is =) I humbly ask for you reviews. God bless=)

For someone who'd probably should be approaching her concerns on the current boyfriend that makes her feel safe and somehow worries her, she spends her time thinking about why she even approached the vamp with an attitude and why she turned back and looked at him in her time of confusion. That was the state she was in. She was sure about Eric but then again it has only been a week. His kiss makes her feel loved but his attempt at going further sent chills down her spine.

Of course, his sudden appearance at The Grille when she was looking for Matt, freaked her out quite a bit. Maybe he was afraid Damon would bother me and came to protect me. She thought to herself as she was thinking through about the whole event that happened that night.

She received a text from Eric, greeting her a good night. She replied the same thing to him and shut her cell off. She went back to another night of constant reminders of pain and more painful nightmares. A loud thud on the front door woke her up and she went down to see who it was. She had a thought that maybe it was her dad but he never said he was going to be coming around so soon.

"Dad? Is that you?" She calls out as she walks towards the door to see who is it.

She looks through the hole and sees that there is no one there. So, she walks back towards the direction of her room but there is a loud thud again on the door.

She is a little bit annoyed, that the sound is causing her to get sudden panic attacks that she opens the door so wide and says "I swear whoever you are, I will call the police on you!" There was no reply from anyone and there was not a soul at the door. She walks out of the door, which is the biggest mistake she had made because she was knocked unconscious. She woke up after a while to find herself in the woods, sitting on a partially broken, wooden chair.

"Hello? Is anyone there? Damon if this is your doing I will burn you!" She screamed out to no respond. Her heart was racing and she felt numb. She tried to get up but she was too dizzy to catch her balance as she had been hit on the head so hard that it felt like a whole log had dropped on it. She sat back down and just started rubbing her head with her hands running up and down through her long, wavy hair.

" Little witch." She heard a voice say from behind. There was only one person who called her that and that was Damon but the voice didn't sound like his, cause it wasn't him.

"Eric! Eric, did Damon tell you I was a witch?" Eric tied her up from behind all the way around the chair. Then he came in front of her and leaned towards her.

"Damon, does not need to tell me anything. I knew who you were from the start."

He said to her, with his face filled with rage that scared the petite girl into pieces.

"Eric, what did I do to you? Why are you doing this?" She trembled and teared as she asked him this.

"Your witch family killed mine back then, so now this crazy vamp, as you like to call Damon, would like to avenge his family's death by slowly sucking the life out of you."

"No wonder, I felt what I felt, the moment you tried to.." She was cut off by him.

"Yeah, kiss your neck? Smart girl. You are as Damon says you are." He says and she just keeps silent and ignores him.

"I can burn you too, you know that right?" She threatens him.

"Why I am not genuine enough for you? Can't you see nothing good can happen for you. Nothing genuine. A little annoying witch like you, by the way, that's what Damon referred to you as, can never have anything good for long. Like your Grams You lost her too."

"Shut up!" Bonnie screams. Eric rushes towards her and stops halfway and falls to the ground when she uses her mind to weaken him.

Caroline suddenly feels like calling Bonnie's phone but her phone was shut off earlier so she could not get through to her. She is asleep. Duh. She reminds herself and goes back to bed.

Eric gets up and rushes towards her fast and hits her unconscious then slowly moves closer to her neck and bites her but is stopped halfway when someone drags him and hits him against a tree and he falls to the ground and gets up.

"I told you not to hurt the annoying little witch you didn't listen to me. By the way only I get to call her that." Damon Salvatore says standing opposite him within a distance away from him.

Eric rushes towards him with a stick in his hand ready to pierce it through Damon's heart when he is suddenly surrounded by fire that is shaped in a circle.

"Eric…" A weakened voice calls out, " I promised you that I will burn you." Yet too weak to continue, a bleeding Bonnie gives up and falls unconscious .

Eric had drop the stick and Damon then rushes towards him and grabs him and right after that stabs right through his heart with a thick stick that Eric had initially wanted to use against him and kills him. He quickly rushes to Bonnie and unties her. Even though he notices the blood on her neck he tries to control himself. He wasn't going to hurt the little witch again.

"Bonnie, Bonnie wake up!" He is reminded of the day he tried to kill her in that very woods. He carries the weak girl and brings her to his home. Stefan and Elena quickly rush to them when they see Damon carrying Bonnie in his arms.

"Damon! What did you do?" Stefan screams out. Elena looking more shocked than ever.

"I didn't do anything. Eric, the sick revengeful vampire did. Well that kind of sounds like me but he attacked her. I was just passing by." He puts on the sofa in his living room and walks away.

"Stefan, do something!" Elena cries out.

"She is alive, better than the last time. She will come around. Why don't you call Caroline? We may be the last people she would want to talk to, when she comes around." Elena does as her boyfriend says.

Damon just sits at a corner drinking away, acting once again, like he does not give a damn. He then finishes his drink and goes out again for God knows what reason.

An hour later, Bonnie comes around and wakes up to see Caroline in front of her.

"Where am I?" She notices that she is at the place she least wants and needs to be right now.

"I am so sorry Bonnie, I should not have led you to Eric. I am so sorry."

Caroline cries out.

"It's not your fault, it's my stupidity." Bonnie assures her.

"Bon, how are you feeling?" Elena approaches her.

"I am fine and thank you, for always caring, Elena. I am sorry I pushed you away." Bonnie says to her friend. Elena says nothing and just hugs her both crying and Caroline joins in.

Stefan brings her a cup of water and offers it to her. She takes it with a smile and thanks him. She then looks around the room and sees that there is no one else around, in particular, the unfriendly vamp, who saved her from the psycho one.

"Where is Damon?" She asks his younger brother.

"I have not got a clue. He always wanders off without a trace." He jokes.

"Well, why don't you have a good rest and we will talk more in the morning." Elena says as she covers Bonnie with a warm blanket. Bonnie agrees.

Caroline leaves for the night and Elena stays by Bonnie's side just in case she needed anything. The next day Bonnie and Elena have a chat over breakfast. Still groggy and weak but Bonnie being the strong little feisty witch is still able to keep herself going.

"I thought he was for real. I was way past wrong." Bonnie says to Elena.

"You are too strong Bonnie to even hold on to something like that. I mean though it has been hard you faced loss and the truth about yourself and your powers."

Elena reminds her friend.

"I have been having nightmares and it's been crazy. It's like I was reliving losing her in all the painful ways possible. Damon was in it too."

"Ooookay, Damon? That's just weird."

Both girls laugh at Elena's comment. Bonnie realizes that she had not seen him since last night. Why the hell, would I want to see that unfriendly freakshow? She asked herself.

Damon is sitting in the study room all alone just relaxing his mind. Overhearing the conversation until his brother interrupts.

"Why are you brooding while eavesdropping?" Stefan asks his older brother who gives him his ever present smirk.

"Little brother you should really learn not to try and joke with me. I am funnier." Damon boasts.

"So, the last time you wanted to kill her, why did you save her this time?" Stefan asks with a curious expression on his face?"

"It doesn't matter does it? It's not going to redeem me. So I could not be bothered." Damon replies.
