First and foremost, thank you all for your reviews and replies...I read every single one and appreciate them! Now, will Bonnie forgive Damon? It will be pretty hard when/if she finds out. I think there will be soo many feelings when she finds out what Damon did and the reasons behind it, but that will be part of the fun!

"Bonnie…hey…what are you doing out here?" Luka asked as he appeared in front of me. I was sitting on the football bleachers outside of our high school staring down at the field. I had no idea how long I was here for or why I stayed soo long.
"I…umm…I was just thinking and I can actually think here", I smiled as I put my hands in my jacket.
Luka climbed up the bleachers and stood in front of me, "Is something wrong?"
"Luka…what did you mean a couple of days ago when you said that you used to cover up things too?" I asked turning to look at him.
Luka smiled as he lifted his hand and twirled his fingers in a circle, I watched as the leaves swirled up from the ground and twisted around like we were in the middle of a tornado. I felt my hair began to blow in the wind and suddenly Luka grabbed my hand and I felt his power flowing through me. I closed my eyes as the surge of power engulfed me…it felt wonderful.
Suddenly I felt the power dissipate and I opened my eyes as Luka gently brushed my hair out of my face. "Oh my god…are you a witch?" I whispered.
"I prefer warlock…but yes".
"I can't believe this…could you tell...", I started.
"I could feel your energy…it's not always something I can do, my father's better at it…but you, I could feel it", Luka grinned at me.
"Wow…this…this is crazy…so your father, he taught you how to do that?" I asked gesturing to the leaves which were all scattered around the field. The maintenance would have fits when they saw that.
"I actually started doing that on my own…he has taught me some other stuff, maybe another time…another place…"
"That sounds good…I need to learn new things, there's something that I need to do and if I can learn to channel my energy better, I will be able to do what I have to".
"Well…I will talk to my dad and maybe we can set up dinner at my house or something", Luka replied.
"Yes…I would like that…I don't have much family, especially not my witch family".
"Well we would be happy to help you…we all have to stick together", Luka winked as he stood up from the bleachers.
"Yes…we do", I answered as I stood up with him.
"I will let you have your alone time now…I will see you soon, Bonnie", he said touching my hand as he headed down the bleachers.
Only then did I realize that I was holding dog tags.
SSSSS
After somehow deflecting all of Stefan's afternoon questions about my relationship with Bonnie, I decided that I needed to get away from him before I staked him as I reached for the door and opened it, I was found myself face to face with a black man standing on the porch, "Oh I'm sorry…I'm looking for Zach Salvatore, does he live here?" the man asked.
I looked the man up and down, "Uncle Zach lives in Europe now, I'm Damon Salvatore…he's nephew", I replied sticking my hand out.
The man took my hand and shook it, he held on a little too tightly, "Jonas Martin…hmm…I thought that he was still in town. I haven't heard from him in awhile though, so I thought I would just stop by and pay him a visit.
"Yes…well…he's not here, he ran off with some floozie and I believe he said that he would be with her until the end of time or until everything starts to sag…if you know what I mean…but if I hear from Uncle Zach, I will let him know that you came by".
"Thanks", Jonas smirked as he turned and walked down the steps.
I watched him get in his car and drive away—something wasn't right about him, I would have to investigate that later.
SSSSS
When I reached the boarding house, Damon greeted me at the front door. "And where have you been?" he asked folding his arms.
"Damon, you can't play Daddy with me right now…it's freaky…and weird…and kind of disgusting", I frowned as breezed past him into the house.
"You were with that guy", he accused sniffing me.
"How do you…", I asked and then sighed, "yes, I was with Luka".
"Doing what?"
"Damon…I have a dad…he's in Europe, please don't try to take his place and again, after what's been happening with us…that is kind of disgusting", I whispered.
"Bonnie, I am concerned about you...in case you forgot, there are vampires out here after you".
"I'm sorry, you're right", I relented, "I met with Luka and we talked about a few things".
"What things?"
I shrugged as I walked into the kitchen, "Things…trust me, Luka Martin is not a threat".
"Martin…is that his last name?"
"Yes…why?" I asked taking a sip of water.
"Someone came here today looking for Zach…his last name was Martin, Jonas Martin".
"Zach?"
"One of our relatives…I killed him...anyway…this Jonas Martin is probably related to Luka".
"And what makes you think that?"
"Well they look alike".
I raised an eyebrow, "Was Jonas black?"
"Well yes".
I rolled my eyes as I left the kitchen, "Well his father is the new professor at the university; he probably wanted to talk to Zach about something".
"Well that's clear…but what did he want him for?"
"I don't know", I answered as I walked into the living room with Damon on my heels.
"I don't like this".
"Why am I not surprised…Damon, really…I don't get why you're jealous…"
"Jealous…why would I be jealous…just because I don't trust some guy and his father popping out of nowhere right after your house is vandalized, some vampire tries to attack you, and we found find out that there are a group of vampires wanting to sacrifice you…that doesn't make me jealous, it makes me smart and you need to be too".
"Well I am pretty sure that they are not behind any of that", I answered.
"Why?"
"Because they're warlocks", I snapped before I had a chance to think about what I just said. As soon as the words left my mouth, I closed my eyes and sighed.
"Warlocks?"
"Don't you…"
"Warlocks…why don't you see that this is a set up?" Damon asked moving closer to me.
"Why would this be a set up…you're paranoia is really scary".
"We throw Katherine in the tomb, we know that vampires are after you and up pops a family of warlocks and they happen to have a son that is your age?"
"Sooo…"
"Oh come on Bennett, you are smarter than this…they are trying to get you on their side".
"Why would they need me on their side if they're evil?"
"Warlocks cannot be trusted".
"Says the vampire", I scoffed.
Damon grabbed by arm, "Can you just trust me on this…Bonnie, you've trusted me with a lot of things lately, trust me on this".
I looked at him and I noticed his eyes soften, "Damon…Luka is good, I would have known if he wasn't…Damon, I don't have anyone like me here…my Grams is dead…Lucy…I don't know how to contact her…my father….he believes that this witch stuff is crazy…Luka understands".
"Bonnie, people are after you…we don't know these warlocks".
"Then fine…what if they could help me get more power?" I asked raising an eyebrow and folding my arms.
"What do you mean?" Damon asked.
"Luka taught me something today".
"What did he teach you?" Damon came closer to me as I almost forgot what I was going to say as I looked into his eyes.
"How witches can share powers…draw off of one another…"
"And who was drawing off of who?"
"It was a shared thing…", I shrugged walking away from him.
"A shared thing?" Damon asked following me as I started walking up the stairs, "what does that mean?"
"It means that we were drawing off of each other", I walked into my room starting to close the door but Damon was right behind me and he closed the door behind me.
SSSSS
Sometimes I think that the little witch is soo smart and perceptive and others…I think she's just as naïve as they come. A warlock was suddenly attaching himself to her when we find out that a group of vampires are after her and she sees nothing wrong with it. I also don't like the fact that they were sharing….bonding…WHATEVER.
"Damon…what are you doing in here?" she asked with wide eyes looking at me.
"Oh don't worry…Stefan and Elena went to get some clothes from her house…Bonnie, you're drawing off of him…that means he can draw off of you, don't be stupid about this".
"Stupid…so I'm stupid now?" she asked narrowing her eyes.
"Ughhhhhh", I screamed as I grabbed the sides of my head, "stop it…stop it!" I screamed as the pain began to lessen, "look…I just want to protect you, ok…I've been doing it for weeks now".
"I know that…but Luka is just a friend, he makes all of this less weird for me…I mean, there is nothing normal about anything anymore for me and I feel alone Damon…I may be here with you, Elena and Stefan…but I feel alone".
"Bonnie, I just don't want these people to hurt you…you've been hurt enough", I said quietly.
"And they won't hurt me", she said matching my voice.
I looked down at her and brought her body towards mine. She looked up at me as I closed the space between us with a kiss. She wrapped her arms around me as I picked her up with her legs wrapping around my waist and I sat her down on the dresser in her room, I pulled her shirt over her head and took a moment to check out the lacy black bra that she was wearing before I captured her lips again.
"What…what are we doing?" she panted as I went for her neck.
"You know exactly what we're doing", I said looking down at her.
"But why…how is it we can't keep our hands off of each other…first the dreams…"
"And now reality", I answered as I stopped her from talking with a frenzied kiss.
She lifted my shirt over my head and grabbed on to me as she wrapped her legs tighter against me. I lifted her off of the dresser and walked over to the bed, when suddenly I felt a pain in my head as I dropped Bonnie onto the bed and bent down on the floor.
"Bonnie…stop it…stop…!" I screamed.
"I'm…I'm not doing it", she said scrambling off of the bed holding onto me.
"Tell her!" a voice screamed at me.
I gripped onto Bonnie's hand.
"Tell her!" the voice repeated.
"I…I can't!" I yelled.
"Damon…what's wrong…what's going on?" she asked.
I gripped the side of my head feeling as if my head would explode as Bonnie scrambled over to her bag and opened the grimoire. I could hear her chanting, but the pain was so intense that I could barely keep conscious, let alone hear or speak.
I noticed that she stopped chanting and that's when everything went black for me.
SSSSS
I opened my eyes to Stefan standing over me, I sat up and grabbed the side of my head as the room began to spin. I was on my bed, Stefan was frowning and Bonnie was nowhere to be found. "Where's Bonnie?" I asked looking around. I felt as if I was just hit by a truck.
"She and Elena went out to get food…I made them leave", Stefan answered.
"You made them leave…with vampires running around after them…", I got up from the bed and headed for the door.
"What is going on Damon?"
"Someone apparently is messing with me…someone gave me an aneurysm".
"Yes, but who…Bonnie didn't do it".
"I don't know", I clipped.
"Damon, tell me what's going on".
"Nothing is going on…leave me alone".
"You know…when Elena and I walked into the house, Bonnie was screaming your name…when we walked into the room, she was standing in her bra and you didn't have your shirt on…that was a picture and I think we are all old enough to figure out what was going to happen or what already happened".
"What do you want to know, Stefan?" I asked tiredly.
"Are you and Bonnie sleeping together?" he asked.
I rolled my eyes. Someone was in my head and someone was screaming at me to confess to Bonnie. That wasn't going to happen, so I can confess to Stefan and things would be ok…"Yes, Stefan…Bonnie and I have embarked on a new relationship…isn't it wonderful?" I smirked as I found myself up against the wall with Stefan's hands on my neck.
"And how did that happen? When we left, she could barely stand you".
"Things change".
"Yes…she was attacked by a vampire…her house caught on fire and she was forced to stay here with…you did this…you did it all", Stefan said looking at me and letting me go, "the vampire…did you have something to do with that?"
I closed my eyes and sighed, "It wasn't supposed to happen the way it did".
"What wasn't supposed to happen".
"The vamp…her house…it wasn't supposed to be that bad".
"So you did send that vampire after Bonnie…the originals had nothing to do with it?" Stefan asked.
"No…the Originals didn't…I…these dreams…somehow, Bonnie and I started to have the same dreams and in these dreams…we were…let's just say, we were very close…she let me bite her and I wanted her blood…you know how witch's blood can be, its addictive…soo…I did some things to get me her blood".
"You sent a vampire after her…what is wrong with you…why would you do that!" Stefan asked in disbelief.
"Because I wanted her on my side…I wanted her to trust me and when she did…I was going to get her blood, that's what all of this was about".
"And then the vampire didn't follow your plan, did he?"
"No…he attacked her and she set him on fire, he in turn set her house on fire…it was never supposed to happen like that...I am sorry for the way it happened, but things are good now".
"Good…you sent a vampire after her and that's why she doesn't have a house…how can things be good and how does this lead to her sleeping with you…Damon, I know that you don't have much humanity left inside of you, but Bonnie is homeless because of you…she was attacked because of you and all because you wanted her blood…and do you think that she will just shrug all of this off…and now you are sleeping with her…this is not good…not good at all", Stefan shook his head.
"Bonnie will never know what I did", I stated.
"She needs to know Damon, especially since you insist on being with her".
"I'm not with her…we have sex…casual sex…its not a big deal".
"You didn't see Bonnie in here when you were passed out on the floor…it is a big deal to her", Stefan stated.
Those words stopped me… it is a big deal to her…Stefan couldn't know that. He had no idea what Bonnie was thinking or how she felt. She agreed with me that there was no need to over think what was happening. He wanted me to feel bad…he wanted me to tell her the truth…I couldn't do that. She would kill me and most of all, I would lose whatever it is I have with her.
"Stefan, I will not tell Bonnie…"
"If you don't, I will…I won't let Bonnie continue with you while you lie to her", he started towards the door and I blocked it.
"You can't tell her…you know she would lose it and we need her head in the game".
"You are trying to save yourself", Stefan replied.
"I'm trying to save everyone", I answered.
SSSSS
"So you want to tell us what Stefan and I walked in on?" Elena asked as she and Caroline sat across from me at the Mystic Grille.
After Damon passed out, I screamed for help for some reason. I had no idea that Stefan and Elena had just entered the house. Stefan came bursting in the room and ran over to Damon. I was so upset that I didn't realize that I was standing in my bra, until Elena handed me my shirt. I wasn't sure what was going on with Damon, but it scared me. Maybe he was right about Luka and his father…I didn't give him the aneurysm, but someone did.
After I was sure that Damon was ok (still unconscious), Stefan basically ordered Elena and I out of the house and we had to bring Caroline with us as a bodyguard. I was slightly hesitant to be alone with them because I knew I had to answer some questions.
"What do you mean?" I asked concentrating on the soda in front of me.
"Well from what Elena tells me, it appears that you were standing over Damon in your bra and he didn't have on a shirt…sounds like something very freaky was going on", Caroline replied.
"Ok…ok…I will be honest…remember when I told you about the dreams, Caroline?"
"Yes…".
"Wait…what dreams?" Elena asked.
"She was having sex dreams about Damon…", Caroline answered and then her eyes went wide, "you didn't…"
"One day I went to my house…or what's left of my house and I just felt sad…my house was destroyed and I didn't have anywhere to go, Damon was there and he made me feel better. Look, I don't understand the dreams…I don't understand why he and I share them…but what I do know about the dreams is that I liked them and as much as I may have hated Damon…in those dreams, I didn't…I felt good and I liked feeling good…I needed to feel good…"
"So sleeping with Damon makes you feel good?" Elena asked.
"Well yes…he's still the same Damon, but it doesn't make me want to set him on fire as much".
"Bonnie, you know you can't trust Damon…and I'm not convinced that he's not taking advantage of you in some way", Caroline reached across the table and took my hand, "I don't trust Damon…all of this is just too perfect".
"Care…Damon can come through when he needs to".
"Elena, we can't forget everything Damon did in the past…", Caroline argued, "and Bonnie, I don't want you to get hurt".
"I don't think I will get hurt…while I don't know what this is, I don't think he will hurt me".
"You two have lost your minds", Caroline answered.
I wasn't sure if I lost my mind, but what I do know is that I want to see Damon and make sure he's ok.
SSSSS
I walked out of the bathroom drying my hair to Bonnie standing in my bedroom. "Back so soon?" he asked.
"How are you?" she asked walking over to me, "do you have any idea what happened?"
"No…it was just a fluke…maybe the fact that I had you some overcome with passion, you couldn't control your powers", I smirked.
She grinned and hit me on the chest, "I'm serious".
"So am I…hey…I was surprised that Caroline and Elena brought you back after what they discovered today".
"Yes, they did give me the third degree…but I let them know that this wasn't about you manipulating me or anything like that, it's about how you have been really good to me since everything happened and the fact that something definitely happened between us…maybe it started with the dreams, but its moved away from them…like you said, we're dealing in reality now and the reality is that I like being with you now, you are definitely not as bad as what I thought".
"Thanks", I mumbled as she walked closer to me and with a flick of the wrist sent my towel to the floor and then she smiled at me with a devilish glint in her eye.
I smiled back at her, "You sneaky little witch".
She giggled.
"And aren't you afraid that Stefan and Elena won't approve?"
"Then I guess you will just have to be quiet then", she smirked as she placed her hands on my chest and paused looking into my eyes, "thank you", she whispered before she kissed me softly on the lips.
We walked backwards over to the bed and I laid her down looking into her eyes, while caressing her cheek. She slowly slipped her shirt over her head as her curls cascading over her shoulders and then slipped off her jeans as I watched in amazement. She closed her eyes as he held her head back allowing me access to her neck. I kissed her softly and within moments we were moving in a steady rhythm after all barriers of fabric had been removed.
I placed kisses all over her neck and kissed her hands as ours joined together.
She moaned in ecstasy as I felt her heartbeat speed up and I looked down at her, she had her eyes open and they met mine. She smiled and then moved her head to the side. I could hear her thoughts almost in my head.
"Damon…you can do it", she whispered as she held onto me.
I felt my fangs descend and I felt like this was the moment…the moment that I had waited for. I kissed her softly on the neck as I held onto her hands as I bit into her. She gasped as she wrapped her arms around me as her sweet, invigorating blood flowed into my mouth. I placed my hand on the side of her head so that I could drink her. I could feel her blood coursing through me and it felt amazing.
"Damon", she whispered and that made me look at her with her blood dripping from my fangs. She looked so innocent, so trusting and so beautiful right there staring at me in the moonlight. I bent down and kissed her as continued to say my name over and over again.
SSSSS
"We had a deal!" a voice declared in the darkness.
My eyes flew open and I looked around. Bonnie was still sleeping next to me and it didn't appear as though she heard anything. I adjusted my eyesight to the dark and that's when I saw her standing in the corner glaring at me.
"Deal? I believe you broke that deal when you destroyed the amulet", I said sliding out of bed and facing her, "and how are you here anyway".
"You know better Damon", Emily answered.
"Was it you earlier…the one who was in my head?"
"You need to tell her what you did…I didn't do everything with the dreams for you to destroy all my hard work".
"It was you…you bonded us in the dreams, that's why we both experienced them…you are a crafty one…but the question is why?"
"Tell her the truth", Emily stated.
"Are you kidding me…no…she will kill me and I think we are getting along pretty well now".
"And you will continue to get along…after you tell her", Emily replied.
"She will hate me, you know that!"
"Yes, there will be some trials…but in the end, this will work itself out. I bonded you two for a reason and my hard work will not fall by the wayside".
"How…how am I supposed to tell her that I set her up to be attacked and that caused her house to burn down?"
I shook my head, Emily was wrong; Bonnie would never forgive me for what I've done.
"Damon, do you care for Bonnie?" Emily asked.
"I like her well enough…I don't want to kill her or anything…"
"Damon, be honest…"
"Look…I care enough to not want this to end".
"Then you tell her the truth, because if you don't…this will end…because I will tell her…I swear I will Damon", Emily threatened.
I looked down at Bonnie sleeping in my bed, "I will tell her", I said defeated.
"Good…Damon, trust me…this can be salvaged", Emily replied.
I looked down at Bonnie as Emily disappeared, "Yeah…sure", I mumbled.
So Damon agrees to tell Bonnie and Emily has reassured him that everything can be salvaged...hmm...is she telling the truth? What does SHE know? Also, Damon got his blood, but he doesn't seem happy about it.
