There's a reason why it starts with bold writing...you'll all figure it out :)
Disclaimer: Don't own anything because if I did Anna would be alive and Jeremy would be happy with her...so does that mean I own the fact that I'm making Anna live and Jeremy not overdose in my story hehehe

Previously on The Vampire Diaries...
"And if you don't let me go, she will die!" Damon exclaimed infuriated seeing Bonnie lay helplessly on the ground in her pool of blood. Soon he felt the invisible hold let him go as Damon not caring rushed to her side as he quickly held his wrist to her mouth but she made no movement as she was slipping in and out
"Drink!" he ordered angrily placing his wrist further against her lips soon he felt suction against his skin. His witch was going to live. He was going to find the very person that hurt Bonnie and he promise himself that, that very person was going to die a very painful death under his hands.
Chapter 4: Kayla
Bonnie blinked her eyes a couple of times letting it adjust to the light of the environment. Dressed in a long yellow summer dress it fell to her ankle hugging her curves as her bare feet stood against the rustled leaves below her. She took in her surrounding realizing she was in the woods at the Fell's church the very spot where her Grams and her recited the spell only for Bonnie to lose her in the end
"You look sad mama" a little girl's voice spoke behind her. Bonnie turned around to find a beautiful little brown-skinned girl in a white dress with jet black curls and the most, bluest eyes Bonnie has ever seen. Bonnie had no control of her body as she picked up the young girl looking to be around the age of five or six. Holding her in her arms she just felt love towards her...love that Bonnie couldn't explain in words...a mother's love
"Is everything okay mama?" the little girl asked again caressing Bonnie's cheek. The little girl's hand was so cold against Bonnie's warm cheek but it calmed her as the little fingers wiped away the tears Bonnie didn't even know streak down her cheek. Bonnie was speechless she felt like she was looking in the mirror of her younger self minus her eye colour...seeing the worried in the girl's eyes Bonnie spoke
"I'm ok. Did you just call me mama?"
"Of course I did...you are my mum!" the little girl giggled and looked behind to smile even more widely behind Bonnie
"Daddy!" she squealed reaching out to him
"Her name is Kayla" the stranger's voice spoke behind Bonnie. Turning around it was in an instant the scenery was wiped away and she was plunged into the darkness away from that happy world
Tyler Simms laid his head against his friend's hands. Lifting it up again tiredly he looked around in the room Caleb was standing by the window arms crossed over his chest and staring out in deep thought, Pogue had fallen asleep on the couch as Reid got fed up of the "updates" and left to blow off some steam. Elena and Stefan had left to go see Caroline another friend of Bonnie who was involved in a car accident. Lastly the mysterious Salvatore brother was nowhere to be found after the doctors told them that Bonnie's wound amazingly healed but she had slipped into a coma and there was nothing they could do but wait. Damon had stood up pushed the doctor against the wall in anger as Stefan and Pogue had to separate them as the doctor stood scared while Damon furiously stormed out of the hospital and hadn't been heard since. That was four hours ago and it was now reaching midnight
"What are you doing here?" she asked holding onto her bag with the dress inside as they both walked up the stairs to the Gilbert house
"Wondering why you aren't at the hospital" he asked smirking but dropped once Bonnie lying helplessly flashed his mind. Clearing his throat he noticed the bag mumbling
"Let me get that" holding her bag and putting it aside neatly
"Thank you...and I needed... a break" she said with uncertainty as Damon nodded still in deep thoughts as he began to speak
"You know I came into this town wanting to destroy it...tonight I found myself wanting to protect it and Bonnie" he admitted then questioning
"How did that happen?" she sighed unsure of what to say but Damon continued
"I'm not a hero Elena it's not in me"
"Maybe it is" she said looking at Damon as he shook his head
"No that's reserved for my brother, you and...Bonnie. Even though she has every reason to hate me yet still helps Stefan and saves me"
"Why do you sound so surprise?" she asked
"Because she did it for you and this town. I want her to hate me but I can't help but want to protect her and somehow she sees I'm worth saving and I want to thank you"
She looked at the Damon she never recognised as he kissed her briefly on the cheek then moved back slowly. Both looking at each other they slowly moved towards each other and their lips connected. His lips moved against hers as she responded back. He had been dreaming of this moment why did it feel so wrong; like she wasn't the person he should be kissing. He felt her put more pressure into the kiss as flashes of Bonnie came to his mind he pulled away but she pulled him back
"Elena?" a voice disrupted them as they both turned to see Jenna at the door with a disappointed look
"Come inside and goodnight Damon" Jenna said curtly as she allowed Elena to walk in as Jenna shut the door leaving Damon to touch his lips wondering why it felt so familiar to him
Looking at the peaceful Bonnie he held her hands whispering to her not caring if his mates heard "Come on Bonnie you promised me you were coming back to me and you were going to take a break. I know you think you don't do much but you do. You are the shoulder for everyone...you worry so much about everybody that you forget about yourself. As selfish as this sound we need you to wake up...we need to...I need to see that smile and tell me... that everything will be ok" he began to break inside not able to say anymore he laid his forehead again against the top of her hands as tears hit her hands
"Kayla..." he heard swore he heard her whisper. Lifting his head up quickly Caleb seemed to have heard her as he was by her side straight away. She squeezed Tyler's hands in comfort as her green eyes fluttered open.
"Baby girl?" Caleb said tucking a strand of hair behind her ears
Still a little coming to conscious she whispered again "Kayla..."
Caleb and Tyler looked to each other confused as minutes past Bonnie blinked her eyes to adjust to her surroundings and the two boys "Caleb? Tyler? What happened?"
*Meanwhile...Gilbert's house in the kitchen*
"Ahhhh!" John screamed as he watched his Elena chop his fingers off. She pushed him against the sink counter with knife in hand staring at her it was then realization hit him that this wasn't his daughter
"Katherine" he whispered scared as she smirked at him
"Hello John...goodbye John" Katherine said her vampire form taking over and in one plunge, stabbed John Gilbert.
Monday...Falls hospital
Bonnie felt fully rested as she placed the remaining of her spare clothes into her bag that was brought by Elena. Deep in thoughts of the couple of days two things shook her; the dream and the fact that Damon Salvatore saved her.
"You ready girlie?" Bonnie turned around and froze at the person
"Bon? You okay" Elena asked concerned stepping forward as Bonnie noticed Elena's vervain necklace causing Bonnie to relax as her mind flickered to Katherine.
"Yeah I'm fine just still jumpy that's all"
"Okay..." Elena said not convinced as Bonnie zipped up her bag. She hadn't exactly told anyone but the Ipswich boys that it was Katherine that stabbed her. Bonnie knew she had to tell Elena and the Salvatore brothers but how exactly do you bring up 'Elena-your-look alike- slash- you-boys- ex-lover-stabbed-me-because-I-got-out-of-the-deal-with-her-to-kill-you-two-oh-and-Elena-I-met-your-mother-before-you'
Bonnie shook her head slightly at the mess she was in as Elena grabbed the bag "No you don't missy"
"Elena I'm capable of carrying my own bag"
"Not if I have anything to say about it" she smiled causing Bonnie to smile back
"How's your Uncle John?" Bonnie asked
"He's hand is healing now according to Jenna it was lucky Jeremy and Jenna were at home or he would have no fingers."
"You're still not talking to him?"
"Bonnie! He left you almost for dead he'd be lucky if I ever talk to him" Elena said getting upset
Bonnie nodded feeling guilty as she thought 'Now or never'
"Is Stefan and Damon at home?" Bonnie noticed Elena stiffen at Damon's name but nodded
"Yeah but I thought you wanted to say goodbye to the boys?" she asked Bonnie
Bonnie chuckled giving Elena a knowing look who caught on "Oh yeah they're witches, they can go home anytime sorry forgot"
"Yeah they know I wanted to talk to you, Stefan and Damon before I see them off"
"About?" Elena probed cautiously as the two walked to the counter to sign herself out as Bonnie's father had called giving permission to leave the hospital whenever
Bonnie signed and smiled at the receptionist thanking her "Have a nice day" the receptionist said as she replied
"You too" linking arms with Elena. Bonnie was still amazed how quickly Damon's blood healed her wound as she thought of the blood, she groaned internally in disgust. Twice she had nearly died and twice she had to drink blood from both brothers...great she felt like Katherine having both brothers blood. She began to chuckle at that thought until Elena's voice snapped her out of the trance
"Bonnie...hello?" Bonnie looked to see they were now heading towards Bonnie's car that Elena brought over
"Oh sorry" Bonnie said then remembering the question
"How about when we get there then you'll know" Bonnie said as she looked to her classic black 1967 Chevy Impala she had recently got from father's money last month funnily a couple of days after she was bitten by Damon.
It was used a car with a few broken pieces and somehow she could relate to it as her father told her to take it to their family friend who was a mechanic and slowly they fixed up the pieces him teaching her and together while fixing the car it healed her fears and scared soul. She had finished the finishing touches the week after her Grams funeral and it helped to sort her mind with the death, proposition and to go to Ipswich...fixing this car was her getaway from the real world and together they healed.
"Hey baby, did Elena take care of you?" Bonnie spoke to her car running her fingers on the top of the car
Elena chuckled stating "It's so weird to see you talk to a car Bon and yes I took care of it"
Bonnie smiled holding her hands out as Elena sighed not liking the idea of Bonnie driving but handed back her keys
Once in the car, Elena asked again "So what did you want to talk about with the brothers?"
Bonnie just sighed turning on the ignition to hide the annoyance in her sigh as she knew Elena's impatience but Bonnie didn't want to repeat the story so she simply said "Lets' just say there's another vampire in town"
Elena frowned ready to press on more questions but Bonnie's facial expression silenced her as the two friends quietly made their to the Salvatore boarding house.
*Salvatore boarding house*
Bonnie looked at the scene in front of her. Damon leaning against the wall arms folded across his chest staring at her in a way Bonnie couldn't explain. Stefan and Elena sat on the long couch but something was off between them as they weren't sitting all close and cuddly
Bonnie swallowed on where to start as she looked to them and confessed "John didn't stab me"
"What? But you said..." Elena started but Bonnie shook her head
"No you all assumed and I let you because it wasn't really the conversation for the hospital; because you know with ears listening in actually you never know..."
"Bonnie! Who stabbed you?" Damon exclaimed cutting her rambling causing Bonnie to look at him. He was now bent knee near her as Bonnie looked to him
"I'm sorry" she whispered tearfully to him as he held her shoulders asking again determined
"Who stabbed you?"
"Katherine stabbed me" Bonnie said softly and in that instance Damon let go of Bonnie as if she had burnt him. He stood up and backed away from her with mixed expressions of shock and anger
"And I'm guessing she's the one that cut Uncle John's fingers"
"See I told you! I didn't kiss you Damon! It was Katherine!" Elena stood up exclaiming
"Wait what?" Bonnie looked between Damon and Elena hiding the hurt. Meanwhile Stefan sat quietly trying process the information then he looked to Bonnie
"There's more isn't there?" Bonnie looked away ashamed from the three people staring at her
Damon sped up to her as he said menacingly "Witch you better start talking" Bonnie felt anger trigger from Damon's tone standing up and looked up to him yelling angrily
"We had a deal! Katherine and I had a deal! Okay and it was simple. Get the device and kill you both! Like she said quick and easy!" Bonnie said using her powers blasted Damon away from her to crash into the bookshelves behind Elena and Stefan
Damon growled replaying Katherine's words as his vampire face took form but coming from Bonnie's mouth hurt so much more. Before speeding towards Bonnie, he was blocked by Stefan holding him back
"Bonnie? You came back to kill Stefan?" And Damon?" Elena said feeling betrayed
Bonnie took a deep breath "Was. When I came back I couldn't do it. They both mean too much to you Elena but I got to tell you the truth"
"And that is?" Elena cocked an eyebrow looking at her best friend angrily, while Stefan let go of Damon who had calmed down staring at Bonnie as she took a deep breath looking to Elena speaking truthfully
"I know you're not Katherine but she had both Salvatore brothers one compelled and one not. You on the other hand don't have to compel them they are both in love with you and I can see what Isobel means of history bound to repeat"
"I love Stefan" Elena said as Bonnie noticed Damon flinch a little to Elena's words but not as bad as Bonnie would have thought
"I'm glad... just stop leading Damon to believe he has a chance" Elena gulped always hating when Bonnie spoke the truth she really spoke the truth
Bonnie looked to the Salvatore brothers feeling their stares but Damon's more heated causing goose bumps upon her skin. Holding back the urge to shiver she continued her speech narrowing her eyes speaking seriously
"I may have told Katherine that she could forget about me killing you two but I know what I am now and what I'm meant to do. If I so much hear a drop of innocent blood to be spilled I will not think twice about taking you down Damon even if I have to bring you down as well Stefan"
"Lets' hope it doesn't come to that" Stefan said as Bonnie nodded walking out of the boarding house knowing Elena wouldn't want to ride in the car with her.
Bonnie let out the scared breath she had been holding in as she made her towards her car
"Bonnie!" she heard him yell turning back to find nothing. Bonnie frowned as she turned back she bumped into his chest as held onto her shoulders to steady her
"Woah you okay?" he asked as Bonnie nodded and looked up to him and for the first time she noticed he had the most beautiful blue eyes ever but wasn't as beautiful as...
"Bonnie, I know I'm hot and all but seriously you're making me blush" Bonnie snapped out of her thoughts as she rolled her eyes at his sarcasm. She noticed his hands still on her shoulders as he let go letting his finger trail down her arm causing her to shiver...that damn shiver from his touch.
"Thank you Damon" Bonnie said catching by surprise but he recovered by smirking
"For?"
"You know what for" she said stubbornly as Damon laughed out loud and so carefree it actually sounded human
"But I like to hear it from you" he said brushing a strand of her slightly curled hair behind her ear causing yet again another shiver. Bonnie wanted to curse her body for reacting so easily from Damon's touch
She gulped hating how normal it felt for Damon to look at her the way he was looking at her not as next meal but something precious...a treasure. Bonnie quickly rid of her thoughts thinking she must be still high from morphine then she heard that familiar giggle so close. Bonnie turned around to only see the Salvatore Boarding house only but no little girl running around
"Did you hear that?" she asked Damon
"No"
Bonnie swore she heard Kayla's giggle, her heart ached a little when Damon said he didn't. It was not real it was all a dream; that happy world was not real.
"If this is how you say thank you then you really suck" Bonnie fought the urge to roll her eyes she turned around to get it over with
"Thank you Damon for saving my life...there happy?" when Damon didn't say anything Bonnie just groaned and moved past Damon but he grabbed her arm turning her to face him catching her by surprise as she landed against his chest.
Bonnie's eyes nervously looked up to him. It was his blue eyes against her green eyes. Lips inches apart.
"What did she offer?" he whispered so close to her lips
She knew who he was referring to as she resisted the urge to close their distance whispering back lying "Nothing"
"I'm not Elena where you can lie to. What did she offer you?" Damon said still holding his stare on her
"Nothing important to you" Bonnie said willing to pull away but he held her as she looked to him with pleading eyes not to ask again
"Don't you get it? It's important to you so it's important" he said as Bonnie bit her bottom lip
"She offered to bring my Grams back to life" Damon's eyes widened in surprise wondering how Katherine could do that but Bonnie answered his question
"Katherine has a spell of Emily's that brings people back from the dead I just need the spell than I can perform it"
"Why haven't you killed me yet?" he asked curiously
"I couldn't. Grams taught me better and bringing her back is not natural as the same goes to saving me"
"Bonnie you were dying" he said not sorry for what he did
Pulling out of his grasp harshly she pointedly said "You should have let me die instead because it was my time!" with that she walked away from him. Damon frowned as she got to her car, immediately he sped to her boxing her
Bonnie gasped feeling him against her back as he whispered in her ear "I promised to protect you and keep you alive and I'm going to keep to it"
Tears fell from her eyes. She didn't want him to see her breakdown as she said as strongly as she could "Sometimes promises needed to be...broken"
Even with her back against him he could hear the sadness; he turned her around and wrapped his arms around her as she broke down as the turmoil of the mess she was in take toll on her.
"Shhh" he said soothingly brushing his fingers through her brown curls. Remembering who she was with she pulled back as he looked at her like she was the most beautiful girl ever, even with tears running down and her nose a little swollen.
"Please don't..don't do...this" she said between small sobs
"What?" he said brushing away her tears his thumb but pushed him away from her
"Don't pretend like you care...please just don't" she said as hurt flashed quickly across his face but covered it up
"But I do" he simply said and walked away from her. His words surprising her but what surprised her more was her heart aching from watching him walk away from her
AN: You all wanted kiss there...didn't you? Me too! But I thought it might be too early to sneak it in especially with the Katherine drama stirring about ;)
Let me know what you guys think...good, could be better etc... I've sorta started the next chapter...I just have to hand in my last essay next week but after that I'll be free to focus on this story and my other fic AWMTBH :)
