Hello All! Thank you for reading and leaving reviews! I really appreciate them and I read each and every one! Now, here we are...at the chapter where Damon comes clean...

Disclaimer: I own nothing

When I opened my eyes the next morning, I was lying in my bed alone. I knew that I didn't go to sleep in my bed, but somehow I must have ended up here by Damon's arms. I gently touched my neck to feel the holes where he bit me last night and realized that they were gone. He must have healed them while I was sleeping.

I'm not exactly sure what made me approach Damon the way I did last night. Taking off my clothes, allowing him to bite me, it was something that I never imagined myself doing with him or anyone. I wish that I could understand why I found myself so attracted to Damon beyond the dreams. It was weird. I could barely stand Damon a couple of weeks ago, but now…he was someone that I wanted to be with and instantly feel better. I smiled as I walked over to the shower…

SSSSS

I could hear Bonnie walking around upstairs as I stood in the living room sipping on brandy. I had been sipping on brandy since I made Stefan and Elena leave the house. Elena was full of questions, but Stefan looked in my eyes and he knew that I was planning to tell Bonnie the truth. He quickly pushed Elena out of the door reassuring her that everything would be ok. I stood in the living room wondering how things would be ok. Emily stated that Bonnie would move on and I wouldn't lose whatever it is that I had with Bonnie; but that only proved to me that Emily doesn't know her great, great grandwhatever daughter. I heard the shower stop as I refilled my sniffer and stood by the window. I wonder what Bonnie will do to me. Maybe she wouldn't set me on fire since that didn't go so well before…maybe this time she will just stake me and get it over with. It was nothing short of what I deserved for wrecking her life.

I gulped down the brandy and placed my hands on the drink cart. When I started my little quest, I didn't care about the consequences. I wanted Bonnie's blood and that was the end of it. I didn't care if she got hurt in the process or what she lost, it was only about what I wanted…which is the usual.

"Hey…where is everyone?" Bonnie asked walking into the living room dressed in some very nice jeans and a white t-shirt that accentuated all of her assets.

I poured another glass of brandy and gulped down, "I asked them to leave".

"To leave?"

"Yes, I wanted to uh…talk to you", I said turning to face her.

SSSSS

I could immediately feel Damon's energy when he turned to look at me. His usual bright blue eyes were dulled and it immediately put me on edge. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"I have something to tell you…"

"Did something happen to Elena…Caroline…Stefan…what's going on…is it my dad?" I asked as tears sprang to my eyes.

"No…everyone is fine".

"OK…then what's wrong…this is about last night, isn't it…it was too much".

"What?" he asked raising his eyebrows at me.

"I rushed things…I don't know…maybe it was some crazy result of sharing energy with Luka or maybe I'm having a nervous breakdown", I smirked as I noticed he didn't share my smirk, "ok Damon, you're scaring me…what's wrong?"

"Bonnie…when these dreams started a couple of weeks ago, I didn't know what to think of them…I mean, I didn't know how to feel about them, but there was one thing that intrigued me the most about the dreams".

"Let me guess…the sex", I answered.

"Your blood", he replied.

I looked up at him, "My blood?"

SSSSS

The way she looked at me made me want to just stop this…find a way to compel her to forget that I even started down this road, "You…you wanted my blood?" she said slightly above a whisper as I noticed her eyes water even more.

"A witch's blood is powerful to a vampire…it's intoxicating…its worth ten human beings…it can be like a drug"

"You wanted my blood", she repeated as if the wind had been knocked out of her.

"I did and I was willing to do anything to get it", I confessed.

SSSSS

As soon as he stated he wanted my blood, I felt my stomach turn and a lump in my throat form. The room started to spin and I gripped on to one of the chairs, "You would do anything…you would…you would sleep with me to get my blood…you would make me think that you care…to get my blood?" I asked as I fought for the tears not to fall from my eyes. I wouldn't cry in front of him; he didn't deserve it.

"Bonnie…I do care", he answered, "but there's more…"

"How could there be more?" I asked unable to even understand how much more could there be.

"Bonnie, you have to understand something…I am everything that you always thought I was…I can be selfish, I can be vindictive…I can be arrogant…I can be self-centered…I do things that hurt people for my own benefit…"

"What did you do?" I asked already fearing what he would say.

SSSSS

"That night…after we locked Katherine in the tomb, when we came back to your house…when it was ripped apart…", I began as I noticed her tighten her grip on the chairs, "I compelled two teenagers to do that, I wanted you to start to trust me…"

Her eyes widened as she shook her head.

"And…that vampire…Bonnie…that vampire who came to your house and attacked you, I sent him there…"

"You sent a vampire to my house?" she said shaking her head, "you sent teenagers to my house…and you sent a vampire after me…for what…my blood…you wanted my blood that bad…you would risk my life for my blood…what…how sick are you!" she exploded as she walked away, "and oh my god…I set my house on fire, I got cut…and what…you rushed in and played hero and I let you…I believed you…I believed that you cared…how could I be soo stupid", she covered her eyes as I noticed the tears fall from her eyes.

"Bonnie…I was wrong…I shouldn't have sent that vampire after you or those teens into your house…I was just…I don't know…I was filled with bloodlust…I never thought that you would lose your house".

"You never thought I would lose my house? You sent a vampire after me…one who tried to kill me!" she screamed.

"He wasn't supposed to".

"He wasn't supposed to…Damon, he was a vampire…he wanted my blood, of course…why would he stick to your plan…what did you promise him…what would you two share me?" she asked raising an eyebrow.

"No!" I shouted, "I wouldn't do that!"

"You wouldn't do that…you sent a vampire after me, you are capable of anything!"she screamed at me as she cried.

SSSSS

I felt as if a heavy weight had been dropped on my chest. I was struggling to breathe as my tears fell from my eyes. I felt betrayed, used and dumb. How could I believe anything that Damon ever said to me or did for me and I had given him my blood willingly. How could I be so stupid and naïve?

"Bonnie, I'm sorry…you have no idea how sorry I am for what I did to you…I regret it…I've felt guilt over it every day", he pleaded.

I looked at him through tear filled eyes, "Why…you got what you wanted…I basically begged you to bite me…I've been having sex with you and actually feeling as if there was some connection…but all of this…ALL OF THIS…was for my blood and you got it…you got it and now, you have no use for me…that's why you're confessing all now".

"Bonnie, I am confessing because I couldn't let this go on anymore…Bonnie, I do care for you…more than I thought I would".

"My house burned down because you wanted my blood…you had me living here…defending you to Caroline…she knew…she knew that you were using me, but I defended you…what a fool I am!" I screamed as I ran my hands through my hair trying to pull it out, "I am so dumb…I am soo stupid, after all you've done…I thought you were ok…I thought that there was something between us".

I bent over the chair as I struggled to catch my breath.

"Bonnie…", he said rushing over to me as I held out my hand sending a fire ball towards him.

SSSSS

As soon as her hand shot out, I knew it was coming. I felt the heat from the ball hit me and I immediately backed away trying to put the flames out. She turned to me as I watched her with her disheveled hair, the tears running down her face and her hands balled up at her side.

"Bonnie…", I said as I patted the last flame out of my shirt, "please…listen to me, this started horribly but I do have feelings for you…I regret everything that I did".

That's when the book came flying at me and I had to duck as she walked over to me slowly. "Bonnie, listen to me…I deserve everything that you want to do to me now, but please…this is not you…"

"Not me! I don't know who I am anymore! I'm sleeping with you…I'm thinking that you actually care about me…I'm thinking that giving my blood to you was something that would make us closer…I don't know why I would want to be closer to you, but I did and now…now I find out that, that's all you wanted anyway…"

"Bonnie…I'm sorry…I don't know what else I can say, I just want you to know that I do feel something for you…I do and that has nothing to do with your blood".

"I hate you", she whispered as she held out her hand and I found myself pinned against the wall by an invisible force.

"Bonnie…please…don't do this…"

She held her hand up as she looked at me with tears falling from her eyes and then she dropped her arms, "I'm leaving here…I don't want you to come anywhere near me", she said as she started to walk by me and I grabbed her arm.

"You can't go anywhere…people are after you…"

"Those people were you! Get off of me!" she screamed as she ripped her arm from my grasp.

I grabbed her by both arms and forced her to look at me, "Bonnie, the Originals are real…and they are after you, you will not go out there and dangle yourself in front of them".

She struggled to get out of my grasp and I held on tighter, "Let me go!" she yelled as I heard something that sounded like a pop, then the window broke and suddenly Bonnie fell into me. I held onto her as I felt something warm between us. I reached down and felt something wet. I pulled my hand up and looked down at her blood.

"Bonnie…Bonnie…", I said shaking her as I bit into my own wrist and forcing my blood into her mouth, "come on…drink it…drink it…"

Before I could check her pulse, I felt someone standing beside me and before I could react, I felt a nick to my neck and I felt weak as I closed my eyes holding onto Bonnie.

SSSSSS

I could feel my body start to come alive. The taste in my mouth was metallic and dry. I tried to move, but I couldn't move. I felt tired…weak…and I just wanted to sleep for awhile.

SSSSSS

I opened my eyes to darkness and water dripping from somewhere that I could not pinpoint. I moved my leg and suddenly I felt a warm body beside me. I immediately remembered what happened before and I looked over and noticed Bonnie's hair draped over her face. "Bonnie", I called as I moved closer to her and feeling her pulse. It was strong, that means my blood healed her from whatever happened. I refused to believe it was a bullet…who would shoot her and why?

"Bonnie", I said pulling her closer to me, "come on…wake up…come on Judgey…wake up", I touched her cheek softly.

She opened her eyes slowly and looked up at me, "Wha…", she whispered looking around and then she focused on me, "get off of me", she pushed me away and moved over to the side of the cave.

"Bonnie…you were hurt…let me…"

"Let you what…you probably set this up…"

"Bonnie…I can assure you I did not dose myself with vervain and have someone shoot you".

"Shoot me?" she asked as her hand flew to her chest and she noticed the blood stain on the front of her shirt, "Oh my god…someone shot me…how…how did I survive that?"

"I…I gave you some of my blood", I admitted.

She looked at me with daggers in her eyes, "Of course you would…"

"Bonnie…look…I don't know where we are…who did this…or why…I can only assume that the Originals are behind this and if they are, we need to find a way out of here".

"We…I'm not doing anything with you".

"I saved your life!" I argued.

She looked at me, "You saved my life…you almost got me killed by a vampire…I think they even out", she replied attempting to stand up, but I noticed she was wobbly as she tumbled back down into my arms which she fought to get out of climbing off onto her knees.

"Bonnie…come on…you are still weak from what happened…"

"Leave me alone", she mumbled as she refused to look at me.

"Bonnie…I'm sorry for everything I did to you, but I do care…and we have to work together if we are going to get out of here", I replied.

She didn't respond to me as she wrapped her arms around her legs.

"Bonnie come on…talk to me…"

SSSSS

I couldn't look at him, let alone talk to him. My head was still spinning; probably from his blood and probably because someone shot me or whatever they did. I put my head in between my legs and fought not to start crying again. Despite being stuck in a cave…dungeon…whatever with Damon, I just can't stop thinking about all of the times I put myself out there to him and he was playing me the entire time. I slept with him, gave him my blood and he sent a vampire after me…lovely.

"So you two are awake…", a voice drifted from down the dark hallway.

Damon was on his feet and rushed to the opening, but immediately bounced back. I followed him holding onto the wall as I started to walk towards the opening and bounced back as well. That's when I realized…we were in the tomb and Katherine…was not.

I faced the man standing on the other side, "Hello…Damon…Bonnie…I'm Elijah", he smiled.

I searched my head to remember where I heard that name before.

"Elijah…but my brother staked you", Damon said in amazement.

My head shot up.

"Yes…he did…and I will repay him for his kindness, but as you can see…those things don't work as well on me as say…you?" Elijah smirked.

"What are we doing here…where is Katherine?" I asked.

"Oh Bonnie…how are you feeling, Damon was very quick to give you some of his blood or you would have died…that's love".

I looked over at Damon as he watched every move Elijah made.

"Where is Katherine…is she in here with us?" I asked again.

"Oooh Bonnie, what makes you think that you are in the tomb that your ancestor sealed all of those vampires in…oh no…I made sure that you two are far from Mystic Falls and I thought this would be poetic", Elijah stated without blinking once.

"Why can't I get out?" I asked.

I noticed Damon look behind Elijah and I did as well. That's when I saw them…Luka and an older man.

"You see…I have my own witches…or warlocks rather and imagine that a sealing spell doesn't have to be restricted to just vampires…any supernatural creature can be sealed in this place, that includes you Miss Bennett".

I shook my head as I looked a Luka, "You…you were behind this?" I asked.

"I'm sorry Bonnie", Luka replied, "but this needed to be done".

I closed my eyes as I began to chant a spell to break the seal, but I felt nothing…no energy…no powers…nothing. I opened my eyes again.

"Yes…there was one thing I forgot to mention…Miss Bennett, your powers…they've been siphoned off, it was very easy to do while you were incapacitated after being shot".

"What is wrong with you…how could you do this!" I screamed as Luka shook his head and looked at his dad.

"What is your plan…where are Stefan and Elena?" Damon asked as I paced beside him.

"Don't worry, you will get company soon…gotta take the strongest soldiers out first, right…you will excuse us, we have some work to do…here…!" Elijah said throwing a bottle of blood into the tomb that Damon caught with one hand, "wouldn't want you to snack on our witch, her blood is important to me".

Elijah turned and walked towards the stairs.

"Luka?" I asked looking at him as I rested my hands on the invisible field.

He looked at me and shook his head as his father led him up the stairs.

I backed away from the opening wrapping my arms around my body. There is no way that this could get any worse for me.

"Bonnie, I'm sorry about Luka", Damon mumbled next to me.

I turned to him, narrowed my eyes and before I knew it, I felt my hand traveling up to his cheek slapping him hard across the face before walking away.

SSSSS

When I saw that warlock appear behind Elijah I wanted to break down that seal and rip out his and his father's hearts. The look on Bonnie's already broken face made me want to go on a killing spree right then and there. I had hurt her, but she never truly trusted me; the warlocks…the people who were supposed to make her feel normal and not alone, they had betrayed her trust and for that…they will die.

I picked up the bottle of blood and walked down the hallway of the tomb, it was dark and I had no idea where Bonnie had disappeared to. Elijah claimed that we were not in Mystic Falls and that he somehow created a new tomb; but I wasn't sure I actually believed that.

I drank the blood as I walked down the hallway, when I finally found her she was leaning up against a wall. "Bonnie, I know I'm the last person you want to see…"

"You're not a person…you're a monster", she answered.

"Ok…I deserve that, but the point is…I know I'm the last person you want to see, but trust me when I say…I will make Luka and his father pay for what they've done. They took advantage of you and…"

She chuckled, "You want to avenge me for someone taking advantage of me…why don't you fall on a stake", she snapped.

I smirked, "You know…this reminds me of old times and I think I'm going to like this until we can get out of here".

She stared at me, "I hate you".

"Yes, that's been established but hating me won't help us get out of here Bonnie…that Elijah guy is supposed to be dead…not just dead…but vampire dead dead…he's not, he's walking around and he's kidnapping people…he shot you…vervained me…his plans for you are not exactly good ones…we need to work together to get out of here".

"I don't have any powers Damon…I am useless in here…and the seal can't be broken from the inside".

"So you're going to wait until Elijah comes for you…well if you don't want to do anything I will, little witch", I said starting to walk away from her.

"Ok…fine…I don't want to be stuck in here with you any longer than I have to, so what are we going to do?"

I turned around and looked at her with that pouty mouth and had the urge to kiss her, but then I realized that this may not exactly be the right time, "Well…we can't do anything…but someone else can".

"Who?"

"Emily", I answered.

Bonnie narrowed her eyes at me, "You do know that Emily is dead, don't you and unlike vampires, once a witch dies…she dies", Bonnie walked away from me and plopped down on the ground.

"Emily is the reason why we had those dreams".

"What?"

"The dreams…she's the one who made us have shared dreams", I explained.

"Why…why would Emily do that and how do you know that?"

"Emily came to me a couple of nights ago and let me in on her little…project…she told me that she bonded us for a reason, she didn't tell me why, just that she did it".

"Why would she come to you…she's my ancestor…I don't know why she would even talk to you since you tried to kill her while she was in my body", Bonnie snapped.

"Look…I don't know either…maybe it's the attraction that you Bennett women have for me or something".

She narrowed her eyes and I almost braced myself for the head pain and then I realized that she didn't have that power.

"I wish I could make your head explode", she spat out.

"I know…but you can't do that right now, maybe later", I winked at her as I looked around.

"I hate you…I hate this situation…I hate men".

"Well of course you do, that's because you have horrible men in your life…excluding present company".

"Excluding you? Damon, before we ended up here, you were telling me how you lied to me, set me up to be attacked, and was indirectly responsible for my house burning down because you wanted my blood with a side of sex".

"Bonnie…I never…look, I was wrong…I was evil…I deserve a million aneurysms for what I did, but the truth of the matter is…if I didn't care about you just a little bit, I would have continued to lie to you and yes, have sex with you and drink your blood…but it is because I care, I told you the truth".

Bonnie looked at me in disbelief, "Is that some kind of declaration of caring…you make me sick".

"Bonnie…I can never apologize enough for what I did to you", I stated.

"No…you can't", she answered turning to look towards the opening of the tomb.

This is just the beginning of a very hard road for Bamon. Bonnie will not be forgiving easily.
