I do not own anything in regards to the Vampire Diaries

Chapter 9

Damon was literally going crazy because he had not seen Bonnie in days. She was avoiding him, probably using her magic to elude him. He felt like he was going through withdrawals or some shit like that, he needed to get his Bonnie Bennett fix. She didn't even come to the boarding house with Elena and Caroline anymore. Damon was so desperate that he even showed up at the high school football game in hopes of cornering Bonnie during half time, but she wasn't there. Instead, he cornered Elena.

Elena walked to the side of the bleachers to get some Gatorade when Damon grabbed her arm spinning her around. She was about to scream until she saw that it was him. Her heart speeded up with excitement at having Damon this close to her. She looked into his intense blue eyes. He had not cornered her like this in a long time. She looked around to make sure that no one was watching. But, her excitement quickly faded when Damon opened his mouth.

"Where is that little witch? She has been hiding from me all week…where the fuck is she?" He asked Elena.

Elena was so pissed. She jerked her arm from Damon's hold. "Damon…you need to leave Bonnie a lone…she doesn't want anything to do with you." Elena said hatefully.

"Well Elena that isn't your call to make…now is it? You tell that little witch that if I don't see her face tonight at the boarding house…one of these peppy little cheerleaders is going to get drained before the night is over...you got that." He said menacingly, his eyes wide and crazy looking.

Two hours later, Damon sat in the living room of the boarding house drinking bourbon out of a glass. He knew that she would come now. Bonnie wouldn't let some innocent girl die because of her. Damon smiled to himself; controlling Bonnie would be easy because he knew her weakness. He was so pissed at her for avoiding him. His body tensed in anticipation when he heard the door open. He inhaled deeply…mmmmm…vanilla. Bonnie was here. Damon stood up and went to the bar, pouring himself another glass of bourbon as Bonnie walked in.

Damon smirked as he watched her. He could tell that she was pissed and was ready to light his ass up. Well, let her try, and he'd kill everyone on her fucking cheerleading squad.

"Well…you took your sweet time getting here…another five minutes and I would've had a cheerleader as my night cap instead of this glass of bourbon. Next time…your little ass better be here pronto…you got that?" he said angrily.

Bonnie stood there taking in what he said. Damon had lost his mind. He was talking to her like he owned her or something, the next thing he'd be telling her was how high to jump.

"Damon…get real…I don't know what kind of game you are playing here, but I want no part of it…what happened between us was a mistake…let it go or you will regret it." She said.

"Is that a threat Bonnie…because if it is…you need to work on your delivery." He said callously.

Bonnie knew this Damon very well. She hadn't seen him in a while, not since he attacked her in the woods after she was possessed by Emily. She had wondered how long he'd keep up the little ruse he had going. She should have known that he hadn't really changed, but she wasn't surprised, deep down she knew he was still the same low down dirty homicidal vampire he had always been. Damon threating to kill an innocent cheerleader just to get his way proved it.

"Damon…don't mess with me…I have no qualms about lighting your ass up again… and this time I won't be persuaded by Elena to spare you."

Damon laughed. "You're really cute…you know that. The thing is Bonnie…you are not going to do that…because if you hurt me then I'll turn around and hurt…or better yet kill some innocent bystander who had nothing to do with this shit…and it will be all your fault."

Bonnie tried to keep her breathing even, so as not to show any sign of her alarm. But, it was hard to do because her mind was racing. She couldn't risk that he was bluffing because Damon was too unpredictable. He was capable of anything.

"Damon…I know that you are angry with me about what happened…I admit that I handled it all wrong…and if I hurt you then I'm sorry…okay…but you can't let what happened between us cost innocent people their lives."

Damon walked up to her and touched her face. "What makes you think you have the power to hurt me?" His voice was soft when he said that, but his eyes were cold.

Bonnie moved out of his reach. "Damon…what do you want from me?"

Damon dropped his hand and took a swallow out of his glass before answering her. "Bonnie…what do you think I want from you?"

She stood there in silence, then her green eyes widen. Damon smiled evilly. He dragged his finger along the exposed skin above her shirt and unbuttoned the top button. Bonnie grabbed hold of his wrist.

"No." Bonnie moved his hand away from her.

Damon turned away and walked to the window. "So…you are willing to let innocent people die instead of giving yourself to me…I didn't think you could be so selfish Bonnie."

Bonnie wasn't stupid. She knew what he was trying to do. She wasn't going to fall for his trap. And, that was exactly what this was…a trap. He knew that she would never let anyone get hurt or die because of her. But, she would not sacrifice herself. She would find a way to stop him before he hurt anyone.

"Damon…I'm not playing this game with you." Bonnie started to walk out of the living room. Damon stopped her.

"Oh…Bonnie." He said in a sing song voice.

Bonnie looked over her shoulder and her heart stopped. Damon held a gagged and tied up Julie Carmichael, her cheerleading teammate. Bonnie could see that the girl was scared to death; her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and Bonnie could practically see her heart beating out of her chest because she was breathing so hard.

"So…who is it going to be Bonnie…you or Julie?" He asked her, smelling Julie's neck.

Bonnie's heart dropped to the floor. This couldn't be happening right now. She had to be dreaming. What was happening wasn't real. But, when Damon vamped out with his eyes turning blood red, Bonnie snapped out of it and knew this was actually happening.

"Damon…please don't do this…okay…" Bonnie started to cry; her voice thick with emotion.

"Bonnie…I'm waiting…for an answer."

When Bonnie remained silent, Damon opened his mouth exposing his fangs preparing to bite into the neck of the red headed cheerleader until Bonnie stopped him.

"M-Me…okay…please let her go." Bonnie sobbed.

Damon's face returned to normal and he smiled. "See…was that so difficult?"

Bonnie saw as Damon compelled Julie to forget what happened then he ungagged her and broke the rope tied around her wrists and ankles. The girl walked out of the house like nothing horrific had just happened to her.

Bonnie's green eyes blazed with anger and outrage, but the emotion that trumped them all was hatred. "Do you honestly think I'm going to let you get away with this?"

Damon had never heard her voice sound so cold. "Bonnie you have no choice…and if you use your magic against me…the bodies will hit the floor."

Damon smiled when he heard her heart accelerate. She believed him…good. "Now…go home and get some rest because we have a big day planned for tomorrow."

Bonnie's green eyes widen in surprise because she had assumed that Damon would want to have sex with her tonight. She started to walk out of the living room before he changed his mind, but Damon stopped her.

"Oh…Bonnie." He said in the same sing song voice that now sent a chill down her spine.

Bonnie's heart stopped. She looked back at him, assuming the worst.

"Good night." Damon said and then smiled.

Bonnie didn't respond. She turned away from him, walking out the living room and through the front door.

Damon walked to the bar and poured himself a drink of his favorite brown elixir. He sat down in front of the fire. Things had gone remarkably well. A plan that he concocted had actually worked. He didn't know that Bonnie would be able to avoid him for so long. He couldn't compete with her magic, and if Bonnie wanted to avoid him for the rest of her life, he wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. He had to hand it to the witch, she was very resourceful. But, you didn't live for over a hundred and sixty five years without learning something. Bonnie was smart, but he was smarter.

He knew her weakness, so he was able to draw her out and force her to come to him. He knew that Bonnie still had feelings for Mason Lockwood, and that she would never be able to fall in love with him while she was still mooning over the wolf. Because of his genius plan, Bonnie would now be forced to be around him, and that would give him the chance to win her heart. Bonnie was not like other girls. He made the mistake of believing that she would instantly fall in love with him after he took her virginity, but it would take more than just sex to win his witch's heart. He wasn't worried…what woman could resist him. Then it hit him. Katherine and Elena were able to resist him. Well…they didn't count…they were freaks of nature…and everybody knows that freaks of nature are only attracted to other freaks. And, his little brother was as freaky as they come. A vampire that likes to feast on bambi…what kind of freaky shit is that?

AN: Hey guys, sorry for the short chapter, but I didn't have a lot of time to write today. But, since you guys are really digging this fanfic, I figured that you would rather have a short chapter than none at all. So, what do you guys think? Review and tell me your thoughts.
