Chapter 3-Paint It Black
A/N: Sorry for the confusion on the previous chapters; I just meant I'd be taking characters from the show and plugging them in after the episode in which Bonnie found her grandmother not breathing. I'm sorry for not posting sooner either, I wasn't sure which way to take this story. Thank you to everyone who favorited/reviewed, it means so much knowing people are reading and I love your comments! Please continue to review! I'm a bit worried about this chapter as I had difficulty writing it. The writer's block is still very much in tact.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Vampire Diaries or the characters.
Bonnie
Bonnie rubbed her eyes and squinted at the clock on the wall as the sunlight streamed in through her window. 1 pm, she thought. Bonnie sighed and rolled out of bed remembering the night before and she found herself smiling. Where had that side of Damon sprung from? She wondered curiously. Bonnie went into the bathroom, shaking herself out of it and within 30 minutes, she was in the kitchen eating breakfast.
She set down her bowl of cereal in front of her and had begun eating when her phone vibrated with a text. She looked at the screen and saw Elena had written, "Come over to my house please? I miss you." Bonnie sighed and texted back, "Be there in 10. Miss you too." Ever since Grams had died, Bonnie and Elena's relationship hadn't been the same. It was strained and the two girls had drifted apart.
Bonnie threw on a tank top and shorts, and got into her car. Ten minutes later, Bonnie had pulled up to Elena's house Elena opened her door before Bonnie knocked and smiled at her. Bonnie smiled back and walked into the house, shutting the door behind her.
"How are you?" Elena asked her softly.
"I'm alright," Bonnie replied reassuringly, "and you?"
"I've been great," Elena replied. The silence framed the air. Bonnie sat down on Elena's couch and said brightly, "So, what do you want to do today?"
Elena grinned back, and said admittedly, "Well, I'm going out for a date with Stefan tonight since we haven't been out alone much without …problems in the way." Bonnie nodded, agreeing.
"Would you like to come to the mall with me to pick out a dress?" Elena asked with a hint of hope in her voice. Bonnie smiled, and squeezed Elena's hand. "Of course, it can give us a chance to catch up." Elena suddenly reached over and hugged Bonnie tightly. "I've missed my best friend." Bonnie hugged her back and whispered, "Me too." Elena smiled and grabbed her keys after pulling away. "Alright, let's shop!"
Damon
Damon growled down at his Mac. "Come on, you've got to be kidding me," He exclaimed frustrated.
Stefan strolled into the living room where Damon was staring down at his laptop in anger. "What's wrong?" Stefan asked concerned "The screen keeps turning off every hour. I tried to reboot it, and even charging it. Nothing works," Damon said angrily, punching at a few buttons. "Take it to the Apple store," Stefan said. Damon stared at his brother, "About time you said something worthwhile."
He got up with his laptop, and grabbed his car keys. "Where's Elena?" He smirked. "Out with Bonnie," Stefan answered back evenly. Damon's smirk vanished as he remembered the previous night and suddenly wondered if the witch was alright. He nodded at Stefan and walked out of the door. Stefan stared at his brother's back in wonder at his change in emotions.
Damon entered the mall and went straight to the Apple store. He went up to the lady and gave her his infamous smile. She stared at him before stuttering and asking, "H-h-how can I help you?" "My laptop has been experiencing some technical difficulties, and it has been turning off after every hour. I tried rebooting and charging it. Nothing seems to work," He answered in a bored tone.
The woman took his laptop and set to work, trying not to sneak glances at him. After a few minutes, the woman answered, "This can be easily fixed, but unfortunately, it needs to stay a few days. If you leave your number, I'll be more than happy to give you a call back when you can pick it up."
Damon grinned at her and dictated his number to her while winking at her. "That'll be great. I can't wait for your call." He gave her his dazzling smile and watched her skin flush a dark pink. What a tasty snack she'll be, he thought.
He turned around and left the store feeling the woman stare at him. Time to pay a visit to the witch and her friend, Damon thought smiling.
"Excuse me, sir?" A soft voice murmured from behind him.
He turned around and looked down at a girl around Bonnie's age. "Yes?" He asked slightly annoyed.
He had been completely ready to see his witch. Soft brown curls, perfect pouty soft lips, Damon thought lost in his thoughts before being pulled out of them.
"I was just wondering where you got your ring from. I couldn't help but admire it," she smiled flirtatiously. Damon smiled down at her widely and put an arm around her shoulders leading her towards the jewelry store where he "got his ring". "Let me show you," He whispered seductively. Maybe I'll have some lunch and fun before going to see Bonnie, he thought staring down at the girl's neck.
Bonnie
Bonnie emerged out of the dress shop heaving a sigh of relief. "Oh come on Bonnie, it wasn't that bad," Elena protested.
"Right, maybe it wouldn't have been if you hadn't tried on every dress in the shop," Bonnie joked. "At least I got the one!" She said happily, shaking the bag in front of Bonnie's face.
Bonnie smiled at Elena and tugged her arm, "Come on, let's go get some coffee," Bonnie said laughing.
The two girls walked down the length of the mall when Bonnie suddenly stopped in her tracks. Her throat dried and she felt tears spring to her eyes. "Bonnie, what's wrong? Bonnie?" Elena asked her best friend worriedly. Bonnie stared straight into the jewelry shop where she saw Damon slide a ring onto a brown-haired girl and tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear. The girl was smiling up at Damon happily and stared down at her ring.
Bonnie swallowed hard, and pushed back her tears angrily. "Nothing, let's go Elena," Bonnie marched ahead past the jewelry store with Elena running behind her struggling to catch up. "Hold on!" She yelled at her friend.
Damon
Damon's head shot up as he thought he heard Elena's voice yelling. His blue eyes scanned the heads outside of the store and didn't see her.
He shrugged and stared down at the girl. "I'm sorry my ring isn't in stock anymore, but this one looks great on you," Damon said forcedly, trying not to sound bored.
The girl paid for her ring and Damon studied her. She was a slender girl with straight brown hair and piercing blue eyes. The girl turned towards Damon and smiled brightly. "Let's go for a drive," Damon said alluringly. The girl wrapped an arm around his waist as she murmured into his ear, "Let's."
He led them both out of the mall towards his car. Once they were far from the mall, Damon stopped the engine. He looked at the pretty girl and felt his fangs slide out. "Any last words?" He said, feeling his eyes darken. He didn't wait for an answer as he lunged toward the girl's neck.
Suddenly he felt an intense pain ring throughout his head. Damon clutched his head and pulled away, feeling his fangs retract. "Stop it!" He roared, obviously in pain. Slowly, but surely, the pain dulled down. The tense silence filled the car as Damon stared at the girl. "What are you? Who are you?" The girl smirked. "Hello, Damon Salvatore. I'm Isabella. I work with Katherine and I'm a witch. And a vampire," She said, as her own fangs slid out.
I want to do something fun!
Review with comments, but also with one sentence/one phrase/one dialogue/one line that you created relating to this story and the next chapter, and preferably Bamon-related.
