Hello All! Thank you for your reviews and comments! I really appreciate them. You know Damon has a plan and nothing good can come from that. So we shall see what happens.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
I opened the microwave door and took out my cup of blood. Ever since arriving at our little 'safe house', I've been drinking blood like crazy. There were two reasons for this: 1) I didn't drink as much blood as I needed from Bonnie that day and 2) I needed to continuously drink this blood, so I wouldn't want Bonnie's.
"Eating again?" Elena asked entering the kitchen raising an eyebrow and smirking.
"Well you know…8 glasses of blood a day keeps a vampire very very happy…didn't Stefan tell you?" I asked.
"You are hilarious…do you know that?"
I chuckled as I sipped the blood, "So what are you doing down here in the dead of the night?"
"Couldn't sleep…I'm worried about a lot of things…namely, how are we going to get past this…Elijah obviously is not your typical vampire and Bonnie…they stripped her of her powers…"
"I know that and I am working on a plan to get them back", Damon replied.
"You like Bonnie, don't you?" Elena smiled slightly as if she knew some type of secret.
I narrowed my eyes and moved closer to her, "I don't want to kill her".
"Oh no…I think it's a little more than that…you asked her to move into the boarding house after her house burned down…you two were in that tomb…"
"Look…I don't know what's going on in that brain of yours, but me and Bonnie…not much has changed".
"Are you sure about that?" Elena leaned forward as I heard footsteps in the house. Light footsteps that signaled that it was a female…Bonnie.
"Am I sure about it?" I asked leaning closer, "how could I not be sure about it", I looked into her eyes. Elena searched my eyes with a confused look as I heard the footsteps get closer, stop and turned around as if they were retreating. I backed away from Elena and smirked, "Yeah…pretty sure", I said downing the rest of the blood and throwing the cup in the sink and leaving Elena in the kitchen.
I headed down the hallway towards the bedrooms and paused in front of the room that Bonnie was sleeping in (or not sleeping in). I turned the doorknob and walked inside. I could see her small form under the covers sleeping on her side away from the door. I stepped into the room staring at her. I could tell from her breathing that she wasn't asleep and she was ignoring me.
I smiled slightly and walked out of the room, closing the door behind me.
SSSSS
"Sleep well, Little Witch?" Damon asked coming into the kitchen as I sat at the table twirling the fruity circles of cereal around in the bowl.
I glanced up at him, "I slept fine", I replied curtly.
"Are you sure…I have no idea how you slept without me lying next to you…must have been a struggle".
"You're a donkey…do you know that", I stated standing up and throwing my cereal into the trash.
"Oh come on…I thought we were getting along great…do you remember how you made me…", he began, but I quickly ran over to him and covered his mouth.
"I swear if you finish that statement, I will stake you myself!" I snapped feeling my heart beat up against my rib cage.
"Touchy…touchy", he replied grabbing my arm and forcing it down, "is there something wrong Bonnie…did I do something to piss you off while you were sleeping?"
"No…what could you possibly do to piss me off…oh I know…set me up so that I would set my own house on fire!" I snapped.
"Oh Bonnie…will you ever stop bringing up the past?" he rolled his eyes, "I thought we were coming to an understanding…"
"I thought we were too…but since we got back here, I guess I realized that I was wrong".
"You know…your green eyes are beautiful, I think they get shade darker when you get jealous".
"Jealous of what?" I asked.
"Oh come on Bonnie…you can admit it…", he replied leaning closer to me, "being in this house…me, you, Elena and Stefan…it's like some freaky quad…only…you're the newbie to the game".
I narrowed my eyes into slits, "Get away from me".
"You know what I was thinking…I was thinking that we're all pretty edgy about what's been going on, so what do you say that we make this little incestuous circle complete…you, me, Elena and Stefan?" Damon asked raising an eyebrow.
I could not believe what I was hearing and I felt as if I was standing in front of the man that I had hated for over a year…not the man who I spent those days with while with Mary. "What is wrong with you?" I asked looking at him closely.
"Bonnie, I'm just being the Damon that you always loved and adored", he sung.
"Damon if you're trying to make me angry…"
"And what can you do…it's not like you have the witchy powers to…", he began but was caught off guard by my knee connecting with his groin.
"Heal from that jackass", I snipped as I turned and walked out of the kitchen leaving him grimacing in pain.
I stomped out of the kitchen and into the living room where Stefan and Elena were looking through some books, that I assumed were spell books. "Stefan, you better speak to your brother before I break a table and stab the leg through his heart!" I shrieked as I turned on my heels going to my room and slamming the door behind me.
SSSSS
As soon as I heard the door slam, I knew that it would only be a matter of moments before Stefan and Elena would be in here staring me down and as I leaned on the counter and turned around, I was right.
"What did you do!" Elena hissed as she glared at me.
"Did you say something to Bonnie?" Stefan asked.
"Do you see me bent over here…she did something to me!"
"What did you say to her Damon? Elena asked.
I shrugged, "Look…you know she's sensitive".
Elena rolled her eyes and threw up her hands before stomping away and going towards Bonnie's bedroom.
"What did you say?" Stefan asked.
"Ok…I may have suggested that we have some type of foursome", I smirked.
Stefan's eyes went wide and he moved closer to me, "Are you crazy…what are you doing?"
"Trying to get her powers back".
"By breaking her heart in the process?"
"If that's what it takes…right now…we have nothing, she thought that she had the dog tags…but she lost them, we don't have her powers…so basically it's you and I and I don't think we can protect those two without her powers".
"So say you something to make her angry enough, she gets her powers back and then what…."
"We defeat the Originals and Elena and Bonnie are alive".
"And what about you and Bonnie?" Stefan asked raising an eyebrow.
"Then she will be alive and it will be worth it".
"And you don't want anything to do with her…you don't want her in any way?"
"Look…what do you want me to say about the Little Witch…ok…I had a nice time with her after our kidnapping, but a relationship? It would never work…I know that and so does she".
"Are you sure about that?"
"Yes I am sure about that".
"Then why are you trying to make her jealous and why is it working?" Stefan asked as he walked away from me.
I watched his retreating figure and fought the urge to run after him and beat the crap out of him. Stefan could be so obtuse and Cinderella like…he acted as if he had no idea that this was all for the greater good and I was being completely unselfish by forcing Bonnie to hate me so that she could recover her powers and not die. I care about her…sure…not sure how much, but I know that I don't want her to die and sure…it would be nice to have her look at me with that smile that could light up a room and make me forget what I am or what I've done…but that's just not in the cards and that's why…at the end of all of this, she has to hate me.
SSSSS
"Bonnie, please stop pacing", Elena sighed.
"I cannot believe him…he's such an ass…we're in a life and death situation and he's treating this like some kind of frat house".
"What did he say to you?" Elena asked.
I looked over at her and her concern made me feel slightly guilty. I couldn't deny that I wish that she wasn't in this house for a couple of minutes as I listened to Damon.
"Bonnie…"
"Elena…I'm a fool…", I began sitting down next to her, "I used to think that I could sense how people felt and I could trust my instincts…but with Damon, I can't…one minute he's being nice and the next moment he's being an ass".
"Bonnie…that is Damon…he acts that way with everyone".
"But I believed that I could actually be…"
"Be what?" Elena asked.
I looked at her as she waited for me to answer. How could I say to her that I thought that I wasn't just a stand in for her…that Damon actually had feelings for me, separate from her. "I thought that I was starting to see a different side of Damon…that I could be someone to change him, but I was wrong".
"Bonnie…are you sure that's not the case, something happened when you two were alone together over the past couple of days…you can't just blow that off".
"You weren't there…that's the difference".
"What are you talking about?"
"Damon loves you Elena…he wants you…if you dropped Stefan tomorrow, he would be right there by your side".
"Bonnie, you can't believe that…"
"Elena…you can't believe that it's not true…I was a good stand in, but now that you are here…its business as usual".
"That is not what it's like", Elena replied.
"It is Elena…it is…look, I need to get some air", I said slipping on a jacket.
"Wait…Bonnie…you can't go out alone", Elena replied standing up.
"I will be ok", I said walking out of the room.
SSSSS
I sat in front of the television flipping the stations aimlessly when I felt a piercing pain in my hand and looked over to see a fork in my hand and Elena standing next to me with her arms crossed. "What the hell is wrong with you!" I yelled snatching the fork out of my hand standing up.
"What is wrong with you…making Bonnie feel like she's a stand in for me…how cruel of you!"
"I didn't say she was a stand in for you!" I said fighting to keep myself from vamping out.
"Then that's what she thinks…you are hurting her and I don't know why…Bonnie doesn't deserve that".
"Where is Bonnie?"
"She went out…she needed some air away from you!" Elena snapped.
"What…what do you mean she went out…where…where did she go?"
"I don't know, she said she needed some air…"
"Alone…"
"Well yes…"
"How could you let her go alone when there are people after you two…how long ago did she leave?" I asked putting on my leather jacket.
"I…I don't know", Elena mumbled.
"That's just great", I said tearing out of the house leaving the door wide open.
SSSSS
I don't know why I left the house knowing that we were supposed to be hiding out; but I couldn't spend another moment in there. Ever since I started sleeping with Damon, I have to believe that some of the chemicals in my brain became imbalanced. My emotions are consistently all over the place and it was starting to become torture. I trudged along the woods as I stuck my hands in my pockets.
"Hello", a voice said from behind me.
I turned around to see Elijah standing behind me. I felt my heart crash against my rib cage as I turned and looked at him, "Elijah".
He sped over to me and touched my cheek, "You know…you were very hard to track down, it took days…but I am soo very glad that I am able to find you today".
I stood frozen. I wasn't sure if it was because he had made me that way or whether it was the fear, "You know…Klaus has interest in the doppelganger, but I…", he breathed in deeply as he touched my hair, "I believe I have interest in you…the witch…your power is vibrating off of you…"
"I…I don't have any power", I mumbled, "you took it away".
"It's dormant…I can still sense it…along with your blood, I can smell it…intoxicating", he nuzzled my neck as I felt paralyzed. I wanted to scream, but I wasn't sure if Damon or anyone else would hear me…and even if they did come, Elijah may kill them.
"Please…let me go", I said closing my eyes and hoping for my powers to show up.
"I know from experience that a witch's blood is amazing…I could drink much more from you than from a human being and you would live…maybe I will spare your life and make you my mate…do you think that could work…I can smell that other vampire on you…that means you are not a vampire virgin?" Elijah asked looking at me and placing his hands on my cheeks forcing me to look at him, "would you like to be my mate…I could promise you forever", he said as I felt his fangs graze my neck.
I looked at him as I felt some of my defenses start to tear down. Was he compelling me?
"Forever?" I asked as my mind became foggy.
"Yes…you should come with me…", Elijah began but was interrupted by a shout.
"Bonnie!" Damon said as he ran over to Elijah knocking him over and causing me to fall to the ground.
I watched as Damon vamped out and went after Elijah attempting to kill him, I tried to stand up but I felt as if I had been drugged as I felt woozy.
I watched as Elijah threw Damon into a tree and I could see the pain in Damon's face as he noticed the tree branch stuck in his leg. "This is not the plan to kill you here, but I think that I can make an exception and I can keep the little witch for myself".
Damon rushed towards Elijah but was stopped by Elijah grabbing him by the neck as Elijah lifted a tree branch from the ground. I walked towards Elijah and Damon.
"Stay away", he whispered and his voice entered my head loud and clear.
"No", I said.
I watched as Elijah raised the tree branch and suddenly I felt a heat come over me that I had never felt before and I stuck out my hand as fire shot out from it and enveloped Elijah. He backed up, dropping Damon and tried to put the flames out as they took over his entire body, but I didn't get to see what happened as Damon grabbed me and started running through the woods carrying me.
Good news: Bonnie may have her powers back.
Bad news: Bonnie has a new admirer.
