Chapter 6

Bonnie's POV

The next morning, my dad had to leave early for work, leaving me alone until I drove off to school. That is, until my cell rang, and I was surprised when I looked at the caller ID and saw it was Stefan. Had Elena given him my number? Whatever the reason, I picked it up, knowing that it was probably important, considering all that happened last night. "Hey Stefan", I greeted. "Bonnie I don't think we should undo the spell", he blurted, sounding almost anxious.

I frowned at that. Just yesterday Stefan seemed like he thought that getting Damon his memory back was the most important thing to think about, and now he didn't want it to happen? As if reading my mind from the other line, Stefan explained. "He' different now Bonnie, he's like how he was before Katherine showed up. When I was teaching him how to hunt last night…it was like how we once were: just brothers. I'm not sure if I'm willing to give it up", he confessed.

Elena had told me that Stefan and Damon had once got along great, like best friends, but when Katherine showed up…she just tore them apart. I could see why Stefan wouldn't want him to get all of those memories back, since they weren't exactly happy ones. Plus, he probably wanted his relationship with his brother back. And even I could see the differences in Damon, from just the few moments I talked to him.

His eyes seemed more…happy then they once been, and kinder. Was that how he really was before an over a hundred years of being a vampire hardened him? Maybe that was what Elena had been talking about, when she said that there was another part of Damon that no one really saw, because it's been hidden for so long. "Alright Stefan, he's your brother. If you don't want to undo the spell, I'm willing to go along with it", I said, meaning every word.

Besides, maybe now the town would be a little safer, now that at least one blood thirsty vampire was on his way into becoming like Stefan, who normally only fed off animals. And in a way, we were doing Damon a favor too. Why would anyone want to remember some of the stuff he's seen and done? "Thanks Bonnie", Stefan said, sounding relived, as if he thought I wouldn't agree with it.

"But Bonnie, do you think that once in a while you could come and see him, just until he's on track with being a vampire? He seems…attached to you." I was shocked at that. We had only talked for a couple of minutes… Again, it seemed like Stefan had been reading my mind, because he explained shortly after. "I think it's because you were the first person he really talked to, besides me, after what happened."

I wasn't really sure if I wanted to get involved with this, but I agreed. I guess it was the least I could do, since I was the one agreeing to not give him his memory back. I told Stefan that I would try to drive both Elena and I over there after school, since Stefan said he had things to do, and couldn't make it to school today. But I think the real reason was that he wanted to stay with Damon for the day.

After we hung up, I quickly dialed Elena's number, and asked her if she wanted to drive over to the boarding house with me after school, and she agreed. I drove over to her house, so I could give her a ride to school, like I usually did. She got into the passenger's seat, looking a little frantic. As we started to drive, I decided to just tell her now. "Stefan doesn't want to undo the spell", I blurted.

She turned towards me, not looking surprised. "I know, he told called and told me earlier this morning"

"What do you think about it?"

"I kind of agree with him. From what Stefan's told me, I feel like this not only benefiting us, but also Damon. I think this is good for him." That had been exactly what I had been thinking. I was glad we were all on the same page. But after looking at her for another moment, I could tell there was still something bothering her. After I parked the car safely in the school parking lot, I turned towards her.

"Elena, what's wrong?" I asked, not liking her expression at all. She seemed hesitant, but after a moment, she finally answered. "I'm scared Bonnie. Isobel wants to meet me tomorrow, and I have no idea how it's going to go." Considering that Isobel was a vampire, I couldn't blame her. Trying to be comforting, I put my hand on hers. "You don't have to go meet her if you don't want too", I said, not sure if it was exactly true.

She gave me a small smile, but shook her head. "Yes I do. But Stefan said he'd go with me."

"I could come too, if that would make you feel better"

"I appreciate that Bonnie, but I don't need to get you involved anymore then you already are." I was about to argue, but then I saw what time it was, and realized how late we would be if we didn't get moving. With that, we got out of the car, and headed towards the school.

A few hours later

The next thing I knew, school was over, and both Elena and I were on our way to the Salvatore boarding house. After we reached it, we only had to knock once before Stefan answered, as if he'd been waiting for us. Which now that I think about it, he probably had. "How is he?" Elena whispered, when we stepped inside, and Damon was nowhere in sight. "He's out hunting right now. After last night, he's been going by himself, just so that he can prove that he can do it", Stefan said, rolling his eyes.

I guess Damon still had the same pride for himself as he once did. Maybe that was just something he's always had. Stefan gestured towards the dining table, and we both sat down, Stefan sitting on Elena's left side, and I saw him snake his hand to hers, interlocking their fingers. I'll admit, even though I didn't exactly approve of a human being with a vampire, they were pretty cute with the way they treated and interacted with each other.

"Have you told him anything about the time zone? About what we wear and the electronics we have nowadays?" I asked. It would be bad if he went out dressing like they did in 1864. Stefan nodded reassuringly. "But I still haven't showed him exactly how to use the electronics. I was hoping you two could help a little with that."

"Of course we will", Elena said, and I nodded in agreement. If we weren't going to give him his memory back, we could at least teach how to use our stuff, so he wouldn't make an idiot out of himself when he tried to use them in public. All three of us instantly looked up when we heard the door suddenly open and close. Damon walked in, looking a little surprised to see me and Elena there.

He shot me a brief smile, and I gave a small blush, which is weird since I've seen that smile tons of times, and never was I ever affected by it in the past. Elena must have noticed, because now she was looking at me, with raised eyebrows, as if to say "What do we have here?" I tried to ignore her, and she turned away, but I could still see a ghost of a smile on her face. Damon came to sit in between me and Stefan and Stefan turned towards him.

A/N: Sorry that there wasn't any Bonnie/Damon interaction in this chapter but there will be some in the next. Thanks for reading!
