Mystic Falls
Bonnie was trying to decide the best way to handle this situation. She should have just told the truth. Now what would she do?
"Bonnie Bennett! You of all people know how dangerous Damon is!" Elena shrieked. "What has gotten into you?"
Bonnie bit back the bike that rose in her throat. Well too laye now, "Elena, he's hot. I can't help the feelings that I have. You, of all people, should understand." She deserately wanted to gag.
She had made it to Damon's room and got the books on Cold Ones. Lucjiky, she was able to stuff them in her bag beforr she was caught by Elena and Stefan.
"Bonnie, my brother killed your Gran. Why are you really here? You can't love him." Stefan responded.
" You put songs sort of witchy hex on his room didn't you?" Elena asked, hooeful.
Damn! Why didn't I think of this! Bonnie thought to herself.
"Look. I have to get home. I'll text you later. Bye!" Bonnie rushed past them, down the stairs and out the door.
As she got in her car, she sent a text to Damon.
You are so lucky there is a human involved...She text him everything so he would be prepared for the backlash.
Awww, witchy woo likes me!!! I'm touched ;)Shut up, Damon!
Forks, WA
Bella POV
Bella drove to the meadow. It was the one thing that Edward couldn't destroy or hide from her. The memories were all here too.
Bella soon realize she was not alone. Across the meadow, came a familiar form.
BELLA Laurent?
LAURENT Bela! I must admit, I didn't expect to find you here.
BELLA I live here. But you - I thought you were in Alaska with Carlisle's friend. LAURENT Tanya, I was. It was kind of him to arrange, given my association with James and Victoria, "The Enemy."
BELLA You tried to help us. LAURENT I went to visit the Cullens, but their house is empty. I'm surprised they left you behind. Weren't you sort of a pet of theirs?
Bella's smile falters, fear beginning to dawn on her. BELLA Um... something like that.
LAURENT Do the Cullens visit often?
Suddenly, Edward's apparition appears between them.
EDWARD Lie.
BELLA Absolutely. All the time.
EDWARD Lie better.
BELLA I'll tell them you stopped by.
Bella tried to relax. She was, after all, a horrible liar.
"Will they be able to reach you in Alaska?"
LAURENT I don't think so. Tanya's "vegetarian" family was pleasant enough. But the dietary restrictions were difficult, living on nothing but animals.
Suddenly, he was inches from her. She could now see the crimson of his irises.
LAURENT Tell me Bella. Do you ever feel compelled to cheat?
Bella steps away from him. LAURENT But that's not why I left. I came back here as a favor to Victoria.
BELLA You're still friends. LAURENT More or less. She asked me to get the lay of the land with the Cullens. Because, well... I'm afraid Victoria is quite put out with you.
BELLA That's... too bad. LAURENT Yes. She feels it's only fair to kill Edward's mate, given he killed hers. Eye for an eye, mate for a mate.
Bella begins to realize that she will not live through this encounter. Terror radiates from her in waves.
Edward appears to her again.
EDWARD Threaten him. BELLA Edward will know who did it. He'll come after both of you.
LAURENT I don't think he will. After all, how much could you mean to him if he left you here unprotected? Victoria sent me here for information. She won't be happy about my killing you. BELLA No, Laurent... LAURENT No, no, no. Don't be upset. I'm doing you a kindness. Victoria plans on killing you slowly, painfully - whereas I'll make it very quick. And you smell so... mouth watering.
He faces her, taking in her scent, bloodlust building. She whispers to herself BELLA Edward. I love you.
Laurent is milliseconds from biting - then abruptly, his expression changes. He sees something in the forest behind Bella - and it terrifies him.
LAURENT I... don't believe it.
He steps back.
Bella's confused as she realizes he's no longer focused on her... she follows his eyes, slowly turning... to find behind her, a tall, handsome, slightly familiar face.
The cocky smirk baffles her. Could he not see Laurent's eyes? Fearing for his safety, she turns quickly.
BELLA Run. He will kill you.
DAMON No, la mia piccola farfalla. He will die today. Not I. And, most definitely, not you.
The look of gerage in his eyes almost made her believe him. He waw human thou, so what chance could he stand.
He rushed ar Laurent, who had tried to slip away when Bella distracted Damon.
Damon flew into him, teeth bared, veins popping. He grabbed the Cold One by the throat, slamming him hatd enough to the ground to crack the earth beneath them. He pulled one of Laurent's arms loose with a sound similar to ripping metal. Laurent howled in pain. That howl, however, was the last sound he would ever make. Damon pulled his throat out and made quick work of dismembering and burning the body.
Damon's baby blue eyes were the last thing Bella saw before her world went black...
