A/N Thanks for staying with me, its gets better I promise. This dark fic already has lots of angles, but I am trying to build to it slowly. Bonnie was an emo, angsty teenage girl, and as she comes into her powers things will change drastically. Yes, this is a love story. Thx for your reviews (: This fic has my muse right now; I have to work with it while I can.

Enjoy!

B:Several voicemails and text messages later Elena finally returns my text.

BON: I've been trying to get ahold of you, this is like the millionth msg

ELE: Hey Bon. Sry didn't get any msgs

BON: Okay, so? What is up you have been missing a lot of school?

ELE: I have had a lot of personal issues, sorry I've been out of touch

BON: Okay, I don't want to get into it now but I do want to mention we were invited to C Forbes Party

ELE: Really?

BON: Yup

ELE: By who

ELE: Deets…

BON: This wknd. More deets to come

BON: I feel like we are growing apart, you aren't even taking time to fully text me back.

ELE: Bon, I'm sorry, there is somethings I am dealing with

BON: What are friends for?

ELE: Honestly Bon I can't talk to you about this

BON: Wow I thought we could talk about anything; you don't even want to make time for our friendship?

ELE: Sorry Bon a lot has changed

Just like that Bonnie didn't re-reply. It was enough to make her feel as though Elena were pushing her to the side for someone else.

And Damon what about Damon?

BB: Hey

DS: Hey

BB: Where have u been

DS: Dealing with somethings

BB: Like what

DS: I can't say

BB: Don't bonbon me

DS: things are complicated for me right now, I'm sorry I haven't been around much or called, I am dealing with somethings.

BB: I see. Ok.

DS: Bon, I'm sorry

She didn't return his last text either. Her heart broke. I month since they had spoken, and he and Elena text the same day. And where has Stefan been? I wonder if something is going on that everyone but me knows about?

Bonnie decided to do what she does best the past few weeks. She went to the woods to practice magic. Her Grams was still in the hospital, but she always found solace at her cottage in the woods.

Bon drives her car to the Mystic Grille, to park it. She decides she'll walk from there. A perky blonde recognizes her from the entrance at the grille and calls to her. "Bonnie?"

B:Oh great!

Bonnie reluctantly turns around and spots Caroline Forbes.

"Bonnie, come here." Caroline waves her down. Bonnie fakes a smile and walks to the crowd of people that are getting ready to head into the grille.

"Hey Bonnie. We were just going to head inside and eat, want to join us?"

"Oh, it's probably not a good idea, I have school work I have to catch up on, and I need to get a jumpstart."

"Listen, I have a 4.2 GPS so anything I can help you with I will. We can get together to study tomorrow, if you'd like. I have some cramming to do."

"Come on, it'll be fun. I promise." Bonnie remembers her grandma making her promise to enjoy her last year of high school.

"Okay. I guess I can spare a little time, but I should leave before sun down. I need to see my grams.

"Alright." Caroline smiled.

B:Why is Caroline Forbes being so nice to me, after Elena told me she spread rumors about us?

The group sits down and order food, everyone order food except Bonnie, she plans on leaving early to practice magic in the woods, before anyone makes her uncomfortable. She is surprisingly having an okay time.

"So Bon, my party is in a couple days, have you given any thought to coming?"

"I won't really know anyone. I don't think it'll be fun for me."

"Well, don't you know Stefan?"

"Salvatore?"

"Yes. He'll be there?"

"Really? With Elena?"

"No. Hell no." Caroline laughs. "He is coming as my date."

"What, when did this happen? He cheated on Elena with you?"

"Oh no. Elena cheated on him."

"What? With who?"

"His brother. Yea, you don't get out much do you? They were hugged up at like the last three basketball games."

Bonnie's heart sank. She knew something weird had been going on but never did she imagine that her best friend and boyfriend would betray her in such a way. Her cheeks started to shake, and she quickly excused herself.

Caroline went after her.

"Bonnie, What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm fine I just, need to go. Okay. Thanks for this, it was nice hanging out with you. I've gotta go." So much for not crying about that blue eyed devil.

Caroline was unsure what just happened. But she had a feeling it had something to do with the two girls and it wasn't good.

"Hey, I can go with you, or you can leave with me. Let's talk about it, you look like you could use a friend." Caroline said.

"No thanks, really. You don't need to stay with me."

"Screw that, you are coming to my house. I will leave the grill right now, and we can go to my house and talk; I insist. You can trust me I won't blab your business. Hey we don't even have to get personal we can just hang out."

Bonnie agreed. She literally had no one else.

Later on when Bonnie got to Caroline's house, Liz Forbes, Caroline's mom, ordered them a pizza.

Caroline wanted Bonnie to feel comfortable so she dished on lots of juicy gossip. Bonnie found out that Tyler was dating Vicky now, who was Caroline's previous best friend, Elena cheated on Stefan with Damon, Caroline and Stefan had been hanging out, and reluctantly hooked up a couple times but weren't a couple, Matt and Sarah Salvatore were a couple, unbeknownst to Damon and Stefan, and Mason Lockwood was back in town.

"So how did Stefan find out about Elena, and Damon?"

"About a month ago, on the last full moon. I only say that, because that is exactly how Stefan remembers it. Damon was on his way to the falls, and Elena called him telling him that her and Stefan had gotten into it, and Stefan was about to leave and do something crazy. When Damon got there Stefan was gone, but when Stefan got back he caught them in the middle of something. He couldn't say what exactly."

"Wow. Poor Stefan. No wonder he has been avoiding me."

"Oh because your bestie is a Ho."

"For lack of better words."

"So why invite her to your party?"

"Honestly, just so she could see Stefan was doing okay, and not pining over her."

"And me? Was I just caught up in the crossfire? A pity invite?"

"No. I wanted to invite you. Honest. Stefan told me you were a really cool girl, besides, I've always wondered why you and I never became friends, Stefan has had a hard time facing this issue."

"Well, still wish he would have told me, I've been sitting around a month wondering what was going on?"

"So why were you crying when I told you?"

"Ugh, long story."

"I have all night."

"Damon was kind of my boyfriend."

"No freaking way! Bonnie! That is not okay. She broke girl code."

"What about you and Vicky?"

"Well, yes, Vicky broke girl code, but Tyler and I have been over a while, so when they got together there was no romantic feelings with us what-so-ever, People thought we were together because we still hang in the same social circle."

Caroline looked up at Bonnie, who's reddened features, made Caroline mad for her.

"You know what, screw it, we are single and we are beautiful. Let's go out tomorrow, shopping. Girls day, just you and I we will get stuff for my party."

"Single, don't you have Stefan?"

"No, that is just a hook up right now."

"Oh."

"I still can't believe that bitch did that to you."

"Well, please just don't go telling the whole school."

"Why would I do that?"

"I don't know, Elena said that you are responsible for telling the school she and I were lesbians, so we wouldn't get hit on by any guys."

"Wow, she hasn't changed. I never said that, I caught her staring at me in the locker room one day, and I asked her if she liked what she saw and then she replied with Bitch, and I said Okay, Lesbian. It wasn't all that serious. I think some girls in the locker room might have taken it seriously, but I didn't go around spreading any rumors. So all this time she had you believing that?"

Caroline busts up laughing.

Bonnie thought about it, and laughed too. She didn't realize how low Elena's self-esteem had been until tonight. Learning all of these new things.

"But, Bon, I won't lie, you do have like a cute butch thing going on with your style most days. But the past week I have seen you really spruce it up a bit. What's gotten into you?"

"I promised my grams I'd have a blast the rest of the school year."

"She must love you."

"Yeah, she is like my mom."

"Well, we better make sure you take her advice, it's a good thing you have me now. We are going to be besties. Straight up. I can feel it in my bones."

"Now come on let's find you an outfit in my closet for tomorrow? You are kind of short but we'll manage."

Caroline and Bonnie bonded that night. Bonnie needed that, and she could tell Caroline did too.

The next day the two girls went to school together, with Bonnie all dolled up. Surprisingly, Bonnie wasn't even uncomfortable. Bonnie was significantly shorter so Caroline had to give her something short: Black mini skirt, black ankle boots, off the shoulder Light grey sweater.

"Oh my god, your legs look amazing! Do you dance?"

"Since I was little."

"Why have you never tried out for cheer?"

"I never gave it thought."

"Oh well, now, but we are going to show those legs off more. I can't wait to go shopping later." Okay, when we get in there, Bonnie I'm cautioning you now. You are going to get a lot of attention. Are you prepared for that?"

"No. Not at all. I don't want a lot of attention. I just want to feel cute."

"It's too late for that. Here they come now."

Hey Care, What's up BON?"

"Looking good Bennett"

Several guys whistled a few times. Bonnie was Trying to keep a straight face.

"Caroline, I can't do this."

"What yes you can. This is just the beginning. Bon, you are a beautiful girl. It's okay to show it. Two people you were closest to, kept a secret from you, making a joke out of you behind your back. This isn't even for them, because chances are you won't see them today, but this is for you, feeling the way you should feel."

Caroline was right. Since Bonnie felt better about herself, she was waking with her head held higher, she was more approachable to other students when she wore a bright smile on her face.

Caroline shot a selfie with her and Bonnie, and Bonnie's new look and titled it BAROLINE. Then posted it to all of her social media accounts.

Somewhere on Earth Elena saw this and was pissed. She caught the attention of Damon, and he wondered what all of the new fuss was about. There it was, plain as day, his ex-girlfriend smiling and happy, less than a day after he and Elena screwed her over. 'What the hell is she wearing?' Now he was fuming.

When Caroline and Bonnie got out of school that Friday, afternoon, they went straight to the mall. Bonnie hung out with a group of people, and was pleasantly surprised how much fun she could have if she just gave people a chance instead of judging them. She starts to realize her heads been so far up Elena's ass that she never gave other people a chance. Tyler was actually pretty sweet, Matt was funny, Vicky wasn't as snobby as she thought, and she and Sarah had a lot in common. Even though Sarah was Stefan and Damon's niece somehow. Their distant older brother or something. Then there was Stefan who she knew about, but he was MIA often due to personal issues. Bonnie hoped it had nothing to do with Elena.

So everyone in this group was accounted for, except Bonnie. Which was good for Bonnie, she didn't need anyone from her high school trying to get at her; all because they realized a coat of lipstick and some new clothes made her cute. She really didn't want a high school guy any way, they were never mature enough for her.

"Okay guys, me and Bon gotta go. We still have mani/pedi appointments. We'll see everyone tomorrow night."

"Care?"

"Yeah Bon."

"I just want to say thanks, for the past couple of days." Even though you don't know me well, you put yourself out there for me.

"Well, you are stuck with me now. So I guess we are even."

Bonnie didn't stay the night at Caroline's that night. She let Caroline know she needed to take care of things at her Grams house, since she hadn't been there in a couple days. Caroline was bummed but understood.

Bonnie's disconsolation was going to start fading with the days, she told herself. The grey skies were being pushed out slowly but steadily by baby blue skies. Every so often a few puffy clouds hung out in the sky, shaping themselves to Bonnie's contentment. Once she swore she saw a heart split down the middle. Both Damon and Elena complicated Bonnie's life. She knew that she should look at this a blessing in disguise, because the tension in her shoulders had softened in the past two days.

Two of the most selfish people found one another, they were tucked away in their world away from the two people they hurt the most. Their romanticized affair would only hold the allure long enough to realize that they weren't even right for another other. Two self-centered people will only come to the conclusion they could never love the other more than they love themselves.

Maybe, in a funny way, the universe was telling her, they were a consolation prize for one another. A life lesson to one another, on why love should be selfless. Eventually they would become bitter and hate one another. That would be the day Bonnie watched Elena gulp her pain, and search for her integrity because she'll have no more friends by then. Damon, will get sick to his stomach for letting go of the single greatest person that made him a better version of himself.

Right now Bonnie couldn't bask in the ambiance that would be karma, she simply brushed off the dust, and got herself ready to channel her magic. It has been a couple of days.

Bonnie perched herself on a pile of dry and cracked leaves in the middle of the woods. No fog today, but there was a thick mistiness in the air. Sitting in a spot that was dryer than most of the ground, she focused all of her energies on the white space in her head.

Clearing the clutter of the last couple of days took a while. The smell of wild animals and musk tickled her nostrils. She opened her eyes and looked around and saw nothing. She knew she only had about another half hour of light, so she tried to work fast. She closed her eyes again focusing on white space.

When she achieved the visual, her mind focused on the center of it, her ministrations finally stabilized.

Fly like a feather

Flow to the sea

Away with the wind

Setting me free

Bonnie repeated the chant. She had no idea how well it would work, but it was a chant she came up with on her own. Her purpose was to free her heart of its weight in burdens. Bonnie wanted to shift her ora. The grey radiating her skin was pulling her against her will. Her energies remained focused on her chanting, and she pushed through what felt like a vortex of over stimulated energy from the combined elements.

Her body gave out and she fell into blackness again!

Sometime later Bonnies eyes fluttered open, she looked around it was pitch black. Small glimmers of the moon shot through a hail of thick branches of tress. Every so often the light shown on a part of the woods that let her know her direction.

Her chest was tightening and she swallowed nothing. Her mouth was dry, her throat was scratchy, she was dehydrated, and now hyperventilating. The magic took a lot out of her. She had no idea what time of night it was, but it felt late.

B:How long was I out for?

She stands up trying to find her way, but she is having a hard time remaining calm.

She hears a low growl to the left of her. She refuses to turn around. Another growl. Bonnies chest is caving in and out quickly, her breaths shorten, blood is spilling form her nose.

Her predator likes that smell. She holds her cries in, reaming as quiet and calm as she can for a woman who is dehydrated and hyperventilating with a bloody nose, in the middle of an anxiety attack.

Space is closing in on her, if she were claustrophobic she would have given up already, but she pushed through her fears.

Bonnie's ears lose sound as if she is on an airplane about to take off, and the blackness around her line of vision is slowly closing in on her. She feels heavy, so so heavy.

Her legs are moving slower, and something is behind her, taunting her. Feeding off of her fear and her increasing heart rate.

She trips, and just before she might be attacked, she turned toward her predator and threw her left hand towards it with an open palm.

She saw golden eyes glowing at her just before the animal went flying into a tree.

She is engulfed in blackness yet again.

Bonnie has no idea what she is working with. Her Witch powers in this fic are a depicted differently from the show as you can see. Thx for reading! Do you see anything in her near future, or where you think this may be going? R&R is you like. Always appreciated (:
