Dangerous Game
Bonnie snuggled under her comforter, getting ready to go to sleep. She hugged her pillows close to her body as she got comfortable.
She sighed deeply before passing over into a nice peaceful sleep.
In her dreams she saw Damon, ring less, glaring at her through the trees. They were in the forest, which was dark as the night itself.
"I want my ring back," said Damon as he advanced on her.
Bonnie shook her head 'no' while turning to run in the other direction, but Damon was in front of her faster than she could gasp.
Bonnie slipped on something on the ground that was wet. She fell down into a pool of blood. She lifted her hand up and saw it was indeed blood, but it wasn't hers. She squinted her eyes. The blood led to the bodies of Elena, Caroline, Matt, Jenna, Jeremy, Stefan, and her father.
"Oh my God!" screamed Bonnie as she crawled backwards away from the bodies.
Damon grabbed her from behind, his hands around her throat, forcing Bonnie to look at the pile of mutilated bodies.
"God had nothing to do with this. This was all me. These people will die. Your little nightmare will become a reality unless I get my ring back, witch," said Damon. Then he released her.
Bonnie stood up, her pajamas covered with blood, which meant nothing to Damon seeing as how he already sucked the life out of them, literally.
"You thought you could steal from a vampire?" asked Damon as he grabbed her shoulders.
"You should know that you are powerless against me Bonnie. If you don't return my ring, I will kill everyone that ever meant anything to you, starting with your father," threatened Damon, his face suddenly so vicious, his blue eyes boring into Bonnie's.
Bonnie couldn't do anything except scream, which she did.
She screamed herself awake.
Bonnie gasped as she checked herself for blood, which there wasn't any.
She flung herself out of bed, with the blankets and pillows are disassembled.
Bonnie tripped over the blankets, but kicked them aside.
She went into the bathroom, flung on the light, and splashed cold water on her face.
"Oh come on. It was a nightmare. You're fine. You're fine," Bonnie whispered to herself, trying to calm herself the hell down.
Bonnie sighed disgustingly as she turned off the light and returned to her room.
In her room, she got her blankets rearranged the right way. Bonnie looked at her bedside table. It said it was four in the morning.
"Great," said Bonnie as she opened her window to let the cool autumn air in the room.
"I wonder when it was going to take for you to open up," said Damon from outside in the tree.
Bonnie screamed, while she backed away.
"You're not invited," said Bonnie.
"I know. But its fun watching you sleep," said Damon as he looked over his shoulder. The sun would start rising in a few hours.
"Go away Damon," said Bonnie.
"I will once I have my ring back," said Damon his hand outstretched.
"Oh I'm not giving it back to you," said Bonnie.
"It's not yours. I need it," said Damon getting impatient and annoyed that a little low level witch had actually stolen his ring.
"I am not giving the ring back to you until I remove the spell that's on it," said Bonnie.
"That's why I took it in the first place," said Bonnie.
Damon was now enraged.
"Look here you little bitch; I will stalk you every moment of the night until you give me the ring back. I won't even hesitate to kill you until i get it back," said Damon, his eyes vamping out.
"Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me," said Bonnie smiling while she crossed her arms over her chest.
"I'm going to be the one to break your bones," said Damon, hissing with his vampire canines.
"Damon," said Bonnie, now yawning.
"This will have to wait until morning. I'm tired. Good night," she said as she went back into bed, ignoring Damon who stood in the branches of the tree.
"I can give you nightmares," said Damon.
Bonnie froze.
She turned around to face him.
"You're the one responsible for giving me that nightmare?" asked Bonnie.
"I can do a lot more than that. That was just a taste of what I can do. It's so easy getting into your pretty little head," said Damon.
"Invite me in and I'll show you more than that," said Damon in a monotone voice.
Bonnie walked right over to the window, glancing at Damon, taking in all his features.
She saw the branch he was sitting on.
She stared at it for awhile until the branch broke, sending Damon down with it.
"Like I said, Good night Damon," said Bonnie as she looked down at him. She closed the window and ended the conversation.
Damon was severely pissed off. He wanted to ring her neck.
"I swear I'm going to kill that witch," said Damon as he stood up, and inspected the branch. It hadn't been broken, it had been cut.
"So the little witch is getting her powers back huh?" asked Damon to himself.
He kicked the branch aside.
He looked back up at Bonnie's window.
He smiled as he left the scene. The sun would be coming up soon, and he didn't want to be caught in the middle of it.
Morning came quicker than Bonnie could remember. She yawned as she shut off her alarm. She didn't forget about the incident a few hours earlier with Damon.
"Damn him for giving me nightmares," said Bonnie.
She looked outside. It was sunny with a few clouds.
"I'm safe as long as the sun is up," said Bonnie.
She got a pair of trashed blue jeans on with a off the shoulder black top that Elena had bought for her.
Bonnie went into the bathroom, brushed her long hair, tossed on some make-up, and exited the house.
"Bye dad! I'm off to the mall to pick up your prescription," said Bonnie.
"Wait! Bonnie! Did you hear voices last night?" asked her father, who was in his pajamas sipping the coffee, reading the newspaper.
"No why?" asked Bonnie. She knew her father had heard them.
"Never mind. It's just the ramblings of an old man," said her father.
"You're not old," said Bonnie as she hugged her dad. She kissed him on the head.
"Oh hey one other thing! It's supposed to storm later, so please be careful," said Bonnie's father.
Bonnie looked horrible. She felt like throwing up.
"Trust me, I'm going to be home before it rains," said Bonnie as she exited the house into the sunshine.
She slammed on the gas and got to the Mystic Falls Mall. She rushed out, ran into the crowded mall.
Bonnie kept looking over her shoulder, although she knew in her mind that Damon couldn't go out in the sunshine.
But if she wasn't home on time, Damon could use compulsion on her father. Her father would invite him in, and there would be no safe place for Bonnie to stay.
She didn't want to call Elena or Stefan. They had enough on their plates already and they deserved a few peaceful days.
Bonnie went up to the desk.
"Prescription for Bennett," said Bonnie.
The clerk left than came back with the prescription.
"Ah yes. Here we go. That's going to be twenty dollars even," said the clerk.
Bonnie handed the clerk a twenty from inside her wallet, grabbed the prescription and left.
On the way out, she was stopped by one of her friends from the car wash.
"Hey Bonnie," said Tiki.
"Hey Tiki," said Bonnie, still anxious to get home.
"You have got to come see this movie!" said Tiki.
"Tiki, I'm really not in the mood. I have to get home. IT's my father. He needs his prescription," said Bonnie.
"He's going to be fine. I'm pretty sure he has some stored away somewhere," said Tiki.
"That's so sweet," said Bonnie sarcastically.
"Come on! You have to see this movie! It's starting right now!" said Tiki as she pulled Bonnie to the theatre.
"What movie is it anyway?" asked Bonnie.
"The Twilight Saga; Eclipse," said Tiki.
Bonnie stopped dead in her tracks.
"Hell fucking no," said Bonnie as she shook Tiki off of her and ran out of the mall to the car.
As soon as Bonnie ran outside, the sky was pitch black.
"Oh no. I'm too late," said Bonnie as she heard thunder crash above her.
Bonnie ran to her car. As soon as she started the engine, the downpour started.
Bonnie turned on her headlights, windshield wipers, and slowly pulled out of the parking lot.
Bonnie wanted to speed home, but with the torrential downpour on her, she had to go slow.
"Oh dear God, please let me get home safe," said Bonnie while slightly hydroplaning.
The rain didn't stop.
Bonnie was now going 10 miles per hour.
She was hardly half way home.
Thanks to the rain, it flooded the main route home. She had to take a detour down a windy road that was thankfully paved.
It was as dark as night now. Bonnie was on the road for about fifteen minutes. She had never been this far into or out of Mystic Falls.
"Where the hell am I?" she asked.
Bonnie was looking around, she didn't even see a deer cross the road.
"Oh shit!" she screamed as she slammed on her breaks but it was too late.
She hit the deer. Bonnie couldn't control her car as she skidded off the road, slamming into a tree. The horn on her car was honking loudly.
"Oh no!" she said. She checked herself, but thankfully there were no open wounds.
She took the keys out of the ignition, opened the car door, and ran onto the road. She was pelted with wind and rain, soaking her.
She put the keys to her car in her jean pocket.
Bonnie stepped onto the road.
She look at the deer, which was on its' side.
Bonnie kneeled down to the poor dying creature.
The hit had caused maximum damage on the deer.
"I'm so sorry," said Bonnie.
She saw the blood oozing out of the deer.
Bonnie backed away.
She looked at her car which was wedged between two trees. There was no way she could back the car out of there.
"What am I going to do?" she asked herself putting her hands above her head while looking up and down the road.
The lightning crashed loudly, scaring Bonnie.
She screamed loudly.
Bonnie heard a branch crack in the distance.
Bonnie stood still, waiting for whatever it was to exit the forest.
"Hello?" asked Bonnie.
She expected another deer to come bursting through the forest.
Instead, Damon Salvatore exited the forest, covered in blood, completely soaked from head to toe in rain.
Bonnie stood completely still. She didn't even try to run.
"Damon," she said.
"Hello Little Witch," said Damon wiping his mouth. He smiled at her then he disappeared.
Bonnie didn't see anything. She turned around.
"Quit playing around Damon. I know you're here!" she called out over the wind.
"Boo," said Damon from behind Bonnie.
He grabbed Bonnie in a chokehold. Bonnie put up a fight. She tried scratching him, kicking him, and biting him. Nothing fazed him.
"Let go Damon! Let me go!" Bonnie said as she struggled to free herself from his grasp.
"Don't struggle. Go to sleep. Go to sleep," said Damon.
He looked up at the sky, admiring the storm.
Bonnie continued to put a fight. Her air was being cut off. Damon was choking her.
Damon tightened his grip around Bonnie's throat. He choked her until she fell into unconsciousness. Then he let her fall to the wet pavement.
Damon picked her up bridal style. He left the car where it was.
I'll deal with that later, thought Damon,
He headed to the Salvatore Boarding House with Bonnie in tow.
