Dangerous Game
Stefan and Elena drove Bonnie to Elena's house. Jeremy was out with Jenna, so they had the entire house to themselves. Stefan slammed on the brakes, while Elena went up to the front of the house, fiddling with her keys until she unlocked the front door.
Stefan carried Bonnie inside the house, placing her gently on the sofa.
He inspected the wound, which was deep.
"He got her good," said Stefan stepping aside to let Elena try to tend to the bite mark on her neck.
"She's losing a lot of blood," said Elena looking behind her shoulder at Stefan, who was keeping his cool despite seeing human blood. Elena knew he had his urges under control.
Bonnie mumbled something.
"What?" asked Elena.
"Killed," said Bonnie in a low tone,
"Dad. Kill dad," mumbled Bonnie from her chapped lips.
"Someone killed your dad?" asked Stefan.
"Yes," said Bonnie, her eyes opening slowly.
She was so weak.
"Damon killed your father," stated Stefan.
"Evil," said Bonnie.
"Stefan what are we going to do? I mean Damon is invited into this house. He could come back anytime," said Elena.
She stood up, leaving Bonnie to keep pressure on her neck wound.
"We can't take her to the hospital," said Stefan.
"Another bite wound to the neck? The police will find out, the council will get involved, and we could all be in more danger than we already are," said Stefan.
Elena sighed. She was so aggravated.
"What are we going to do?" asked Elena.
"We can't stay here. Elena, you have to come to. If you stay here, Damon could come and hurt you. Look at Bonnie. He could do the same to you. I won't let that happen," said Stefan as he gently cupped his hands around her cheeks.
"I trust you," said Elena.
"First things first, we need to get Bonnie's wounds under control. Then we move," said Stefan.
Bonnie was in and out of sleep for the rest of the day.
Elena had tried her best to close the bite mark wound. It thankfully stopped bleeding.
Elena brought some clothes from her closet for Bonnie to wear.
Bonnie was in the shower, scrubbing all the Damon grime off of her body.
"Here," said Elena as she placed a purple sweatshirt, blue jeans, and a pair of sneakers in the bathroom.
"You are not staying in those clothes," said Elena as leaned against the doorframe, letting the steam escape the bathroom.
"Thanks. You bought me that top," said Bonnie as she exited the tub. Elena closed her eyes at Bonnie's naked form. Bonnie wrapped a towel around her body, drying off.
She wrapped her hair in a towel as well, letting the towel dry it to a point. She shook her head, letting the air dry her hair.
She smiled at Elena when she saw the clothes on the countertop.
"Thanks," she said.
She started to dress herself.
"You can turn around now Elena," said Bonnie.
Elena did turn around.
"You look a lot better now," said Elena.
"I feel better too," said Bonnie. She picked up Elena's brush and brushed her wet hair.
Bonnie moved her hair to stare at Damon's mouth work on her neck.
She sighed as she touched it.
"I can heal this," said Bonnie.
"How?" asked Elena.
"Watch," said Bonnie.
She and Elena exited the bathroom.
Bonnie sat down in the middle of the floor, her legs crossed Indian Style.
She closed her eyes.
"I don't know if this is going to work," said Bonnie to Elena, who was on top of her bed, waiting anxiously.
"Do you know what you are doing?" asked Elena.
"Sort of," said Bonnie.
She dropped her head, in a trance.
Elena heard Bonnie muttering an incantation under her breath.
Elena could see Bonnie's bite wound on the left side of her neck.
While muttering the incantation, Elena saw the bite mark actually close up.
The lights were flickering, the window burst open, sending in a huge gust of wind.
"Bonnie, how can you even control your powers now?" asked Elena.
"When Damon was holding me hostage at the house, I limited my power. I practiced when he wasn't looking. I knew if he knew I was using magic, he'd hurt me even more than he did," said Bonnie, breaking the trance.
She stood up, walked over to the bathroom mirror, and inspected the bite mark.
It was still there, but closed up.
"Damn I'm good," said Bonnie smiling.
"Now let's get the hell out of here," said Elena.
"I second that," said Bonnie as the two girls closed the bedroom door behind them.
The girls descended the stairs.
Stefan was waiting for them at the front door.
"Where to?" he asked the girls.
"Anywhere but here," said Bonnie as she exited Elena's house.
Elena locked the door. Stefan glanced around the house to make sure the coast was clear.
Bonnie was first to get to the car. She opened the back door to the car. She literally flew herself into the seat.
"Come on!" she screamed.
"Leaving so soon?" asked a voice to Bonnie's left.
Bonnie scanned her eyes to the left side of the car.
Damon was sitting in the seat, completely covered in the shadows.
"AAAHHH!" screamed Bonnie as she opened the door, falling out of the car. She scrambled to Elena and Stefan.
"Damon is in the car!" she screamed while clinging to Elena.
Stefan stepped forward watching Damon exit the car.
The tree branch was gone. It was if he was never stabbed in the first place.
"Hello Brother," said Damon as he stepped forward, smiling a devilish smile.
"Ladies," said Damon turning his gaze towards Elena and Bonnie.
Bonnie hid her face in Elena's arms.
She didn't want to see him.
"Look, I forgive you for stabbing me Bonnie," said Damon. He tried to step forward, but Stefan stepped forward, his hand on Damon's chest, preventing him from taking another step forward.
Damon looked down and frowned.
"You really don't want to do this brother," said Damon chuckling. His eyes glared angrily at Stefan.
"You had your fun brother. Now walk away," said Stefan.
Damon tried to walk around Stefan again, but Stefan blocked his way.
Damon then used his vampire speed to move around Stefan, putting himself behind the girls. He slinked his leather clad arms over their shoulders.
"Come on brother. What do you say? Let's have some fun. There's one for each of us," said Damon as he pushed Elena towards Stefan. Damon kept himself on a shaking Bonnie.
"Damon you have got to stop this," said Stefan.
"Enough Stefan! God, do you know how fucking annoying you are?" asked Damon.
"It's all 'Lets live in peace. Don't kill human beings. Drink animal blood'," said Damon imitating Stefan.
Bonnie was now crying for her life. Once again she was in Damon's grasp.
"I already got my life. Sure it doesn't include Katherine. But now, it includes Bonnie. You can either accept it or get the FUCK out of Mystic Falls," said Damon. He was getting more and more aggressive and angry.
"Damon, you got two choices. Either you let Bonnie go on your own free will, or I make you let her go," said Stefan, who pushed Elena towards the car.
"Are you trying to start something Stefan?" asked Damon, pushing Bonnie up to Stefan as he stepped forward.
"Because don't start something you can't finish," said Damon.
Damon started laughing to himself.
"We need to take this somewhere more private," said Damon looking around the neighborhood at all the lights on in their houses.
"Go ahead Damon. Try to do something. I can guarantee someone will hear the screams," said Stefan.
Damon nodded his head, while taking Bonnie's scent in deeply.
"What's this?" asked Damon seeing Bonnie's bite mark.
"You healed quickly," said Damon.
"How did you do it, little bitch witch?" asked Damon.
"Magic Damon," said Bonnie.
"Do you want another test?" she asked.
"No more threats Bonnie. I know you can do your magic hocus pocus now," said Damon cocking his head to the side.
Damon sniffed her hair and kissed her head before he released her.
Bonnie gasped as she ran to Elena, thankful to be away from Damon.
"Come on," said Elena. Elena looked at Stefan.
Bonnie and Elena got into the car and left.
Elena slammed on the gas pedal to an unknown destination.
Where could they go that was safe from vampires?
