Thanks for the reviews. I'm still working through this one, so please feel free to leave reviews. :-)

I opened my eyes to the alarm clock screaming at me the next morning. I shielded my eyes from the sun and sat up in bed. It took me hours to fall asleep last night after waking up with the marks and the blood. I looked through the grimoire and could not find one thing to explain how I ended up with those puncture marks. The only thing I could think of is that I scratched myself in anger…in anger that I was having a nightmare that included having sex with Damon Salvatore. I think that part bothered me more than the unexplained marks. What about yesterday made me want to have sex with Damon Salvatore? We basically kidnapped Mason Lockwood and I am sure with Damon's jealous streak, he probably killed him. What about that turned me on…I think I should vomit about ten times before I leave the house.
As I slipped out of bed, my cell phone began to ring. "Hello", I answered.
"Bonnie, its Stefan…can you come over?"
I closed my eyes. If he wanted me to come over, that mean that he needed me and my powers…and if I went over there, I'm sure Damon would be there.
"Bonnie…are you there?"
"Umm…yes, I can come over…I will be there soon", I replied.
"Good and bring Emily's spell book", Stefan added.
"Of course…wouldn't come without it", I said ending the call.
By the time I reached the Salvatore boarding house, it was filled with people. Jeremy Gilbert, Alaric Saltzman, Caroline Forbes, Stefan Salvatore and of course much to my chagrin, Damon Salvatore were standing around the library.
"What's going on?" I asked looking around.
"We're going to kill Katherine", Jeremy answered happily.
"What?"
Stefan walked over, "Let me explain…"
"Please".
"We're going to kill Katherine", he stated.
I shook my head, "Are you kidding me…people will get hurt…when do you plan to do this?"
"At the Masquerade Ball, it will be the perfect time…she wants the moonstone, we will agree to give it to her, but we need your help".
"My help…what could I possibly do?"
"We need you to do a spell…one like the tomb spell to keep a vampire in a room", Stefan replied as I looked around the room and noticed Damon's crystal blue eyes on me.
I instantly touched my neck where I carefully applied some cover up to cover the wounds and what did he do? He grinned at me and winked. What the hell?
"Bonnie, do you think you can do that?"
"Do that…well I don't know, it took me and grams to attempt to break the seal…I don't know if I can break the seal alone?"
"But you can try?" Stefan asked.
"Yes…I can try…but…"
"That's all we need", Stefan answered, "Bonnie's in".
"Good!" Jeremy grinned.
"Hey Judgey…thank you", Damon winked as I shook my head.
After spending hours at the boarding house attempting to perfect the plan, I packed up my stuff and headed out towards my car. "You know, you really shouldn't go out at night by yourself…there are all kinds of creatures out here…those that may do very bad things to you", Damon's voice drifted from behind me.
I rolled my eyes, "I can handle myself…need a reminder?" I arched an eyebrow.
"Oh no…I don't…but I have question for you, is there a reason why you avoided me today?"
"I avoided you because I hate you".
"Oh no…you don't hate me as much as you claim", Damon smirked as he wiggled his finger in my place begging me to bite it off.
"Oh but I do hate you".
"Then why we were rolling around on your bed last night…why did you let me bite into you…and why are you covering it up today?" he asked lightly touching my neck causing me to shiver inside.
"I…I don't know what you're talking about", I mumbled as I opened my car door hitting him in the legs, causing him to grimace and sliding inside.
"See you at the Ball, Bonnie", he waved as I started my car and drove away.
SSSS
I could hear her heartbeat speed up as soon as I mentioned being in her bed and biting her. This morning, I was sure that the dream was just my imagination, but when she walked in today barely making eye contact and I noticed the make up covering something on her neck, I knew that the dream was not just a dream.
Her heartbeat told me that she wasn't quite sure what happened last night, but she was definitely playing ignorant about the entire thing. I plan to have lots of fun with this.
"What are you doing out here?" Stefan asked.
"I was just saying goodbye to Bonnie".
"Damon, don't piss her off…we need her for this to work".
"I was being perfectly kind to Bonnie, but you know she's soo sensitive about everything".
"Then you need to stay away from her. We have a common goal here, don't mess it up by messing with Bonnie".
"Your concern over Bonnie is pretty interesting; does Elena know that you care soo much about her best friend's well being?"
"Leave Bonnie alone, we need her to be on our side for this?"
"I know that and she will be…nothing means more to me than making Katherine suffer for everything she's done to us".
"Good…now we have a few more things to go over, so follow me", Stefan said walking towards the house.
Damon followed Stefan, but also turned around to look at the road. He would have plenty of time to be with Miss Bennett after they were done giving Katherine her due.
SSSSS
I straightened my tie as Stefan and I walked down the stairs into the garden at the Lockwood mansion. I have to say, the town of Mystic Falls knew how to throw lavish affairs with women dressed in very lovely dresses. I scanned the crowd and located Bonnie. She was moving towards us. I locked eyes with her and she nodded.
"Well Tabitha's here, I'm going to meet her in the room…find Katherine", I spoke up.
Stefan nodded as he walked down the stairs and I turned to walk up towards the house. Originally, Jeremy was to serve as the lieutenant to Bonnie's mission, but unfortunately (or fortunately, in my case) he was stuck making sure that Elena did not show up and throw a wrench in all of our plans. I am now serving as her assistant in her little endeavor.
When I walked into the empty room, Bonnie was sitting with the grimoire open. "You were supposed to wait for me", I walked in and took a seat next to her.
"I haven't started…I was waiting for you".
"Well I'm here".
"Good…now just be quiet", she said closing her eyes as she began to chant. I watched as the room began to glow slightly and then I turned my attention to her and watched her intently.
This was not the same Bonnie that I attacked in the woods or even the same one that cast that spell with her grandmother. This was a different Bonnie, a more powerful Bonnie and her power was intoxicating. I moved closer to her as she finished chanting and then opened her eyes, "Why are you so close?" she asked staring at me and moving over.
"I was helping you".
She eased away from me, "Thanks…so it's all done now".
"Good, so I will just wait for Caroline to do her part and Stefan to come up here".
"And I will stay in the other room and after you kill Katherine, I will break the seal".
"Can you do that?"
"Do you doubt my powers?" she asked with her eyebrows raised.
"How could I when you remind me that you could kill me at any moment and you've tried at least once".
"Well you deserved it".
"And what do I deserve now for being soo good?" I asked with a smile.
She looked at me with an intense glare as my cell phone began to beep. I looked down and saw Stefan's message, "It's time".
"I will go into the other room, let me know when its time to break the seal", she replied standing up and heading towards the other room. I watched her walk away in that very nice, body clinging dress that left little to the imagination. Right after we finished with Katherine, I would have to find a way to make that dream come true.
SSSSS
I sat down on the bed right outside the ready room where the guys planned to trap Katherine and kill her. I can't deny that my nerves are at an all time high. While I was confident that Stefan and Damon could kill Katherine and all of this would be over; there was still a part of me that held some apprehension. Katherine was smart…she was cunning and she could manipulate them to do whatever she wanted. I also had to admit that I'm not sure if I can break the seal alone. It basically killed Grams to break the seal with me. I was doing it alone now and although no one knew, I was starting to have problems performing magic. If I over exerted myself, sometimes I would find my nose bleeding and other times, I find myself blacking out. However, there was no time for me to get scared now, everyone was counting on me.
I listened intently as I heard Caroline speaking with Katherine outside in the ready room. She was taunting her with the news that she had tricked her. I could hear Katherine's growls as she screamed at Caroline and realized that she could not get out. I couldn't help but smile at Caroline's obvious glee in trapping the woman that had murdered her.
Suddenly I heard Caroline walking away and Damon and Stefan confronted Katherine. They exchanged a few words and that's when I heard the tussling and furniture breaking. I wanted to jump off the bed and rush in and help, but I knew that I needed to stay here…hidden…and then I heard Jeremy's voice…what was his doing here?
"Stop everything that you're doing to her is happening to Elena!" he yelled.
Suddenly the tussling stopped. Elena? What was she doing here…how would we know that something was wrong with her and what was going on?
I jumped up off the bed and headed into the other room, "Where is Elena?" I asked my eyes wild looking at Jeremy.
"Outside…outside", Jeremy called.
I started to run to the door but Katherine grabbed me around my neck, "Ooh…lookie here, what do we have the witch…I guess she's the reason why I'm stuck in this room…well I guess, my witch is better than yours".
"Get off of me", I hissed.
Katherine tightened her grip, "What would you two do if I just snapped your witch's neck, right now?"
I watch as Stefan and Damon started to advance towards her and I built up all the energy I had and place my hand on Katherine's face sending fire from my hand burning her as she let me go and screamed in pain. Only after I did it, did I realize that Elena felt that as well—I ran out of the room.
"Where's Elena?" I asked Jeremy.
"Come with me", he said leading me down the stairs.
He brought me to the woods surrounding the mansion where Elena was on the ground screaming in agony, I could see the burn mark on her face. "I'm sorry…I can take it away…I can", I said holding onto her arms and closing my eyes chanting.
Her screams of agony lessened as I felt the pain start to dissipate. "Jeremy stay with her, there's another witch here…I have to find her", I yelled running towards the house.
SSSSS
"Soo…what would you two like to talk about while we wait for my witch to bring me the moonstone?" Katherine smirked as she sat down crossing her legs, "would you like to thank me for giving you such a wonderful life…would you like to talk about which one of you were better in bed…or would you like to talk about why you two both have an attraction to my doppelganger?"
"I want to talk about what you will do when you're burning in hell", I answered as I poured a drink.
"Oooh Damon…touchy", Katherine purred, "Stefan, you really are the kinder brother…that is why I love you more".
I don't know what came over me then, I grabbed Katherine up from her seat and held a stake up to her. "Damon…no!" Stefan called holding onto my arm.
I looked into Katherine's eyes. She was taunting me…daring me to stake her and I wanted to badly.
"Katherine!" a voice said from the doorway.
I backed off of Katherine and looked over to the door where a tall, caramel colored woman with long brown hair stood. "Lucy…you have the moonstone", Katherine grinned as she pushed me away and headed over to Lucy.
"Yes, I have the moonstone".
That witch gave away the moonstone to Katherine's witch…how could she do such a thing? When I get my hands on her…
"So after I hand over this moonstone, my debt will be paid", Lucy asked.
"Yes…completely…now, give it to me", Katherine ordered.
Lucy handed over the moonstone and immediately Katherine began to choke.
"You didn't tell me that another Bennett witch was involved…", Lucy began, "but I am sure that is exactly why you didn't tell me".
I watched as Katherine convulsed on the floor.
"Sorry for my part in this mess", Lucy said starting towards the door, "Elena is fine".
And with that the other witch walked out of the door.
SSSSSS
I waited until Lucy walked down the stairs and I caught up with her, "What happened…is Katherine dead?"
"Everything is fine…I'm sorry, I had no idea that this was going on".
"Who are you…I knew that I could trust you, but how…why?"
"Do I remind you of anyone?" Lucy asked cocking an eyebrow.
"No…"
"Well I am actually…Angelica's daughter, sister of Shelia…we're cousins, Bonnie".
"Cousins…really…please, stay…so we can talk".
"I can't stay…but I will be back if you ever need me".
I felt tears spring to my eyes. This was all too much and I had no one to help me, "I need you now".
Lucy looked at me and frowned as my cell phone went off, "Actually the vampires need you now", Lucy stated.
I looked down at my cell phone and saw Damon's text, "Around back".
I sighed and looked up, but Lucy had disappeared. I wiped my tears as I headed back into the house.
SSSSS
I watched Damon carry Katherine into the tomb as I clutched the grimoire, "I don't understand why you didn't stake her", I shook my head looking around.
"Well because Katherine specializes in torture and now we are delving out some of our own torture, now is the seal up?"
I nodded.
Damon threw Katherine into the tomb and threw the moonstone along with her, "Why did you do that?" I asked moving next to him.
"It doesn't do anything anymore…she can have it".
"What…what's going on?" Katherine asked as she opened her eyes and stood up.
"Well I just thought that you would like to be in the home that alluded you for over a hundred years", Damon smirked.
Katherine charged towards the opening and bounced back against the seal, "You…you the witch…get me out of here, do you think that you can trust him…he will betray you, he will hurt you…you can't trust him".
"I can trust him more than I can trust you!" I spoke up.
"You don't know what you are doing witch".
"I know that you tried to destroy everyone and this is a way to stop you", I answered.
"Goodbye Katherine", Damon said moving the bolder in front of the opening.
"Damon…you can't do this…Elena's in danger…you can't…"
"I will protect Elena", Damon said closing the opening.
I leaned up against the wall as I felt a trickle of blood come from my nose that I quickly wiped away.
"Are you ready, witch?" Damon asked looking at me, "hey witch…is something wrong?"
I nodded, "Yes…I'm fine…we can go", I started to take a step out of the tomb when suddenly I lost my footing and fell to the ground and that was the last thing I remembered.
As you can see...some things will change and some things will stay the same. Damon's obsession with Bonnie will start to become very dangerous.
