I'm back! So without further ado...the continuation.
Disclaimer: I disclaim it all.
During the ride home from the tomb, I stayed quiet going over and over everything that Katherine had said in my head; from her comments regarding the Originals to Damon and him hurting me. I didn't believe her about the Damon part, but the Originals part had me nervous. They would need a sacrifice and I was part of the sacrifice. It explained everything…it explained why my house was tore apart and why that vampire attacked me. It was the Originals coming for me.
"Don't let Katherine get to you", Damon said quietly breaking through my thoughts.
"She didn't".
"Is that why you are mute?"
"Damon, I am trying to digest a lot here…we don't even know if Stefan found Elena…some old vampires want to sacrifice us and I believe they are probably the ones who destroyed my house and sent that other vampire…it's just a lot to take in".
"And what about what she said about me…?" Damon asked looking over at me.
I met his gaze, "Katherine is trying to divide us all…by any means necessary".
"Do you think that I would hurt you?" he asked.
I looked over at him, "Not…not anymore".
"Good, because you don't have to worry about those Originals…I will protect you".
"But they are old…older than you, are you sure you can do that?"
"Come on Bennett…between me and you, I think we could rule the world", he smirked.
I smirked and shook my head, "I don't think so".
"Oh come on…you and me…we could do a lot of good".
"You want to do good?" I asked raising an eyebrow looking at him.
"If you want to", he replied.
I shook my head as I started dialing Stefan's phone, "Bonnie…we found Elena…we're heading towards the boarding house…"
"They found her", I informed Damon, "Damon and I are on our way to the boarding house, we will be there soon…how is she?"
"A little shaken up, but ok".
"We have some information, we will meet you there", I said hanging up.
"How is she?" Damon asked.
"Good…she's good", I answered taking a deep breath.
SSSSS
When we walked into the boarding house, Elena was sitting in a chair with a glass of water. I rushed over to her and hugged her tightly, "Are you ok?" I asked touching her cheek.
"I'm ok…I'm ok…Stefan said that you did a spell and that's how you found me?"
"I did…I'm glad you're ok", I said hugging her tightly.
"I tried to call you last night, I walked outside of the cabin to get a better reception and that's when I was grabbed…I thought that you would hear it in the message", Elena explained.
I shook my head. I didn't see any missed calls on my phone, "I…my phone must be broke or something, I'm just happy that you're ok".
"So what did Katherine say?"
"I called Caroline and Tyler over", I replied.
"Why?" Elena asked, "what's going on?"
"Who kidnapped you?" Damon asked standing behind me.
"Two vampires…Rose and Trevor…they said that they were going to hand me over as a sacrifice to the Originals", Elena said taking a deep breath.
I looked at Damon and stood up.
"What happened?" Damon asked.
"Well we went to the house and Rose and Trevor were already dead, there was another vampire there…he was different…", Stefan frowned, "he was strong…Jeremy and I were able to get the upper hand and I staked him…"
"But Rose and Trevor were definitely afraid of him…he killed them both right in front of me", Elena said as her hands began to shake and Jeremy wrapped his arm around her.
"Who are the Originals?" Jeremy asked.
"The original vampires according to Katherine", Damon answered.
"But why would they want to sacrifice Elena?" Stefan asked.
I heard the front door open and suddenly Tyler and Caroline were in the living room. Tyler looked less than happy to be here, "Ok…we're here", Caroline threw up her hands, "what are we doing here".
"You are all going to be sacrifices for the Original vampires and we need a game plan or all of you are going to die…and when I say all of you…I mean everyone but Stefan, Jeremy and I", Damon smirked.
"What…wait a minute…I don't have anything to do with you guys", Tyler replied.
"Oh no…well the next full moon, I'm pretty sure that you are going to lift one leg to pee…so you are in this deep canine boy", Damon smirked.
"So wait…why…are we going to die?" Caroline asked.
"Katherine said the Originals need us to do some kind of sacrifice…we don't need the details".
"Why us?" Caroline asked.
"Well apparently they need a Petrova doppelganger, a witch, a vampire, and a werewolf", Damon explained.
"So who's the witch?" Tyler asked.
"Take a wild guess mutt", Damon snapped.
"Look…we need to come up with a plan because if they sent someone to retrieve Elena, that means that they may be sending people for each of you", Stefan replied.
"And they are probably the ones who sent people to my house to tear it apart and that vampire who attacked me", I stated.
"Vampire…a vampire attacked you?" Elena asked.
"A lot has happened Elena…I will fill you in later", I replied.
"So what is the plan?" Jeremy asked.
"Right now, we don't have a plan…but each of you need to be careful, we don't know how many people The Originals have working for them or where they are hiding", Stefan answered.
"In the meantime…Bonnie, Elena…you will stay here…" Damon added.
I looked over at him.
"That would be best since you two have already been targeted", Stefan stated, "Caroline…Tyler…you are welcome to stay here as well, they have already made their moves against Elena and Bonnie…so you two may be next".
"So when do you come up with a plan…we can spend the rest of our lives looking over each other's shoulders?" Caroline asked.
"Give us some time…I am working on a spell to help me find where the Originals or at least…to get some background on them", I spoke up.
"So for right now…?" Tyler asked.
"We stick close together and make sure that we keep our eyes open", Stefan replied.
"Ok…fine, but we need do something and soon", Caroline nodded.
SSSSS
After Caroline, the mutt and Jeremy went home, Bonnie and Elena went upstairs to chat or cry or something. Who knows? What I do know is that this situation was not going to be easy for awhile. Stefan's second nature is to be suspicious of me and with Elena here, Bonnie would definitely think twice about being with me again.
"Why is Bonnie staying here?" Stefan asked cutting through my thoughts.
"Weren't you listening, a vampire entered her house and attacked her…I was coming by to get on her nerves and she set the house on fire trying to save herself…she didn't have anywhere else to go".
"She didn't have anywhere to go…what about Caroline…why here? She hates you".
I smirked as I walked over to the drink cart, "She doesn't hate me…anymore".
"Ok…she can look at you without setting you on fire, but something is going on and you need to tell me".
"Stefan, nothing is going on and you need to just accept that. You need to worry about Elena and what could have possibly happened to her".
Stefan shook his head, "No…no you're deflecting, what happened between you and Bonnie?"
"Nothing happened".
"Maybe I should just ask her", Stefan replied turning to walk out of the door.
I sped over and grabbed his arm, "Leave her alone, don't talk to her…she already has a lot going on right now".
Stefan looked in my eyes and smirked, "Are you falling for Bonnie or something…or is there something you want from her?"
"What could I possibly want from Bonnie", I rolled my eyes as I sipped on my glass of Brandy.
"Yeah right…you want something, you always want something".
"I don't want anything from Bonnie, so you're wrong", I said walking out of the living room with Stefan's eyes staring a hole in my back.
I did lie to Stefan…I did want something from Bonnie now; I just wasn't sure what exactly it was anymore.
SSSSS
Elena sat next to me on my bed sipping a cup of tea as I looked through the grimoire. "So what happened Bonnie…how did you get here with Damon?" she asked.
"A vampire came to my house disguised as a pizza delivery guy…he attacked me…I set him on fire and unfortunately, he set my house on fire…I was cut, bleeding and Damon came in…he saved me, gave me some of his blood and the rest is history".
"Your house…oh my god…was it a total loss?" Elena asked watching me with wide eyes.
I nodded as I felt the familiar lump in my throat, "My dad is going to have people rebuild it, but that will take some time…I plan to just stay somewhere else in the meantime".
"Well when all of this is over, you can definitely come live with me…I know that you and Damon are not the best of friends", Elena smirked.
I closed my eyes as I saw us in his bed.
"It hasn't been that bad".
Elena raised an eyebrow, "Really? Has Damon compelled you?" Elena smirked.
I laughed and shook my head, "No…he hasn't…he's been Damon, don't get me wrong, but it's been much better".
Elena nodded as she closed her eyes and sighed, "How did we get to this point Bonnie, we're hiding out here because some vampires are after us and we have no idea when they will come".
"Well I am working on a spell that won't let anyone come in, who hasn't been invited in…supernatural being or not, but it will take some time to figure out what they want and how to stop them. I don't think Emily has anything in her book about these originals".
"Well I know that you will find something".
"Thanks Elena", I smiled, "so how was the time away before you know…the snatching and all?"
Elena smiled, "It was nice…very nice, it was just Stefan and me…no one coming after us…no crying…no weirdness…just Stefan and me…it was the way it was before I found out what he was".
"I'm happy for you", I replied.
"Thanks Bonnie", Elena hugged me.
Later that night after Elena left my bedroom and I was completely exhausted from searching in Emily's books. I settled under the covers and closed my eyes, when I felt someone else in the room with me. My eyes flew open and I could see Damon standing next to the bed. "Damon?" I asked sitting up and starting to lean over turning on the light, but he stopped my hand.
"Don't…", he whispered.
I shook my head; this has to be a dream, Damon wouldn't come in here…not with Stefan and Elena down the hallway.
"Damon…what are you doing in here?" I whispered.
"I wanted to talk".
"Talk…about what?"
"What happened between us", Damon answered.
"What time is it?"
"Bonnie…I want you to know that what happened between us wasn't some fluke...somewhere along the line, we…we came to some kind of truce".
"This is a dream…right?" I asked.
He sat down on the bed next to me and took my hand, "Does it feel like a dream?"
"Damon…", I whispered.
He leaned closer to me and began to kiss me softly on the neck as I breathed deeply, "We can't do this…", I breathed.
"Yes…we can…we can do this", he said lowering me down to the bed, "we don't have to shout this from the rooftops, but we can have this…between us…there are no strings attached".
"I don't know what's going on", I said.
"You don't have to", he whispered as he pulled me to him and began to kiss me, slipping my shirt over my head.
SSSSS
I wanted to stay with Bonnie, but I knew that she wasn't ready to allow Elena and Stefan know about this new…development. As soon as they found out, there would be a multitude of questions and a bunch of 'Stay away from hims' and I knew that Bonnie would start to rethink everything. This entire situation started with a dream, I did some horrible things to get her to trust me and all because I wanted her blood. Her blood, that I have yet to taste again.
To be perfectly honest, I wasn't sure what I wanted from Bonnie or how I felt about her. I did know that I loved her energy, I loved the way she would go from rolling her eyes at me in annoyance to closing her eyes in ecstasy. I knew that she could never find out the truth about what happened before she moved in with me, if she did, that would mean the end of this and the end of me.
It was dawn when I walked into the kitchen and Elena was sitting on a stool staring down into a cup of coffee. "What are you doing up soo early, I thought you and Stefan would be savoring all of your moments together", I smirked putting some blood in a cup.
"I couldn't sleep".
"And why is that, because if this is about those pesky Originals…I wouldn't bother".
"That's because they're not after you Damon, you made that clear".
"Oh come on…I was just being my usual fun self".
"But you were closer to the truth than usual…Bonnie can't find anything in the grimoire about these Originals and if she can't do that, I have no idea how we are going to fight them".
"We will fight them Elena, you don't have to worry about that".
She nodded "So you and Bonnie called a truce, huh?"
I closed my eyes as I had a flash of Bonnie on top of me with her eyes closed and her head back, "You could say we did".
Elena raised an eyebrow, "Is something going on?"
"No…nothing is going on Elena, don't be so paranoid".
"Damon, I know you and you suddenly being nice to Bonnie…"
"I'm nice to Bonnie because she could set me on fire and I'm nice to Bonnie because she is very useful to me".
"Oh she's useful…so you're using her?" Elena asked narrowing her eyes.
"Look…can we just drop this…I am helping Bonnie out, she lost her house…vampires are after her, can't we just leave it at that without giving me ulterior motives?" I stated completely exasperated.
"Fine…if you say so", Elena replied as she slid off the stool and left the kitchen.
I watched her disappear and rolled my eyes.
SSSSS
After convincing the gang that I needed to go to my Grams' storage where my dad put all of her stuff after I begged him not to throw it away (and threatening Damon, if he followed me), I found myself at the tomb. I stood in front of the boulder holding onto my bag. I needed some answers from Katherine. Ever since I opened my eyes to Damon in my bedroom last night and we…every time I think about what we did, I feel something come over me and I'm not sure if its good or bad. I don't know why Damon and I are engaging in the relationship that we have right now, but I just find it hard to resist him now.
I sat down my bag and closed my eyes as I moved my hand across the boulder moving it away from the opening of the tomb.
I peered down the dark opening, "Katherine", I replied in a normal voice.
I saw no indication that she was moving towards me, "Katherine!" I said louder.
"Well…well…the witch comes alone…have you come to free me?" Katherine asked with a smirk.
"It depends", I smirked folding my arms, "if you give me the answers to my questions".
"What questions…oh…let me guess…this is about Damon and how you two have become much more than passing enemies".
"What did you mean when you would say he would hurt me…what do you know?" I asked as I wondered to myself, why I was here asking Katherine any of these questions.
"What do I know…what do I know…", Katherine marveled as she looked around, "I know that I'm hungry…I know that I want some blood, your blood preferably".
I bent down and took out a bottle of blood from my bag, "You will get the entire bottle once you tell me what I want to know…and yes, it is my blood", I replied lifting my jacket sleeve revealing a bandage.
"Oooh…then I guess you are desperate, he must really make you crazy…and the fact that you want him makes you even crazier".
"I don't want Damon", I stated.
"You don't? You could have fooled me, coming here and bringing blood…asking me about how he could hurt you".
"Well?" I asked raising an eyebrow, "answer my question, how can he hurt me?"
"I taught Damon everything he knows…even when he was human, he was a very eager student…do you know that he would help me find my prey, he couldn't wait to become a vampire. When I say I taught him everything he knows, he knew that I would do anything to get what I wanted…I would lie…kill…and compel to get what I wanted and I believe Damon would not hesitate to do the same…now the question is, what could he want from you, witch?"
I shook my head, I wanted to end this conversation, "What about the Originals…how do I find them…did Emily ever mention them?"
Katherine smirked, "Changing the subject…did I hit a nerve?"
"Did Emily ever say anything?"
"No…never said a thing…now where's my blood?" she asked.
I threw the bottle of blood into the tomb and Katherine snatched it up, screwed the top off and began to drink. She spent a couple of seconds drinking and then she spat the blood out on the ground, "You brought me animal blood…you little bitch!" she shrieked as she vamped out and ran towards the seal and bounced back, "when I get out of here, if the Originals don't kill you, I will!"
I turned around and walked towards the stairs as Katherine screamed behind me. She gave me absolutely nothing to make me feel better.
Katherine is doing a number on Bonnie. The question is, will Bonnie find out on her own or will Damon confess all?
