N/A Hey guys! Hope y'all like this one! I added a bit of Bonnie/Damon stuff! :D Don't worry, next chapter will have some more Bamon!

Chapter 9

"Well, you can't go home." Mrs Flowers said, setting a tray of sandwiches on the table in front of them and placing her hands delicately on her hips. "I have a few extra rooms, and Stefan shouldn't mind."

"Not at all," He said.

Bonnie leaned forward to pick up a sandwich. "It's fine, Mrs Flowers, Stefan. Those things that attacked us are gone now, and I don't think they'll be back again tonight."

"Well there's no way to be sure." Mrs Flowers said firmly. "So you'll stay here."

Bonnie sighed. "Alright, okay."

Meredith and Elena quietly exchanged looks, then glanced at Bonnie. "Are you sure your alright, Bonnie?"

"Of course."

"Well, look at her!" Mrs Flowers said proudly.

Bonnie looked better, she really did, but she had dark circles under her eyes and a pale complexion. "Whatever paleness you see now is leftover." Bonnie said, smiling. "I feel wonderful. Thank you, so much, again, Mrs Flowers. To all of you," Bonnie said, looking around at every face. "You have no idea how grateful I am ... I could have died-" Bonnie abruptly cut off, and glanced out the window. Elena looked over her shoulder but saw nothing but endless black.

"Bonnie- what's wrong?"

Bonnie's eyes snapped to Elena, then she smiled. "Oh, nothing, nothing."

"I'll show you to your rooms. I can't imagine how drained you girls must be."

"You have no idea." Meredith sighed, she went to help Bonnie up.

But Bonnie didn't seem to need it. She stood upright fluently and followed Mrs Flowers up the stairs. Meredith followed behind quickly, ready to catch Bonnie if she fell. Elena looked at Stefan. "She'll be alright?"

"Like Mrs Flowers said, she had no vampire blood in her system ..." He trailed off, looking into Elena's eyes. "She won't turn, Elena. She'll be fine."

Elena wanted to believe him, but even Bonnie was acting strange. "Was Damon invited into the boarding house?"

"Yes."

Anxiety clearly showed on Elena's features.

"Damon wouldn't dare." Stefan said dangerously.

Elena studied his features. He looked so much like his brother when he looked like this. "I'm going to ask Mrs Flowers if I could stay in the same room as Bonnie- just in case."

Stefan nodded, and Elena followed the rest up the stairs.

.

Bonnie settled onto the bed Mrs Flowers had showed her to. Elena sat on the window bench. "I don't see why you insist on sharing a room." Bonnie said, laying back and staring at the light beige ceiling. "I'm not in any danger here; Mrs Flowers and Stefan put protective spells over the house. So we're all safe."

"I'm not worried about Shinichi." Elena muttered.

Bonnie's eyes widened. "Then who else would want to hurt me? Or ... what else?"

Elena glanced at Bonnie and sighed, coming to sit beside her and grabbing her hands. "I don't know why anyone would want to hurt you ... But someone may want to-influence you." Elena stared hard at her.

The lightbulb went on over Bonnie's head. "Oh! No, Damon would never do such a thing!"

"Then what happened earlier, Bonnie?" Elena looked at Bonnie with a feeling of concern and doubt.

"I-I don't know. I cut myself on a switch thing and I started bleeding. Damon must have been very thirsty, so he couldn't control himself ... He didn't influence me. He was just too strong and thirsty. And I was too weak and my blood too potent." Bonnie concluded, looking at Elena.

Elena pursed her lips thoughtfully and stood. "Your not in control of your emotions right now and your very tired. Get some sleep ... I'll stay up and-"

"Keep watch." Bonnie finished dryly.

"I'm doing this for you, Bonnie. I don't want you getting hurt anymore. And Damon's one to make an unexpected appearance."

"And you want to be here for that?" Bonnie mumbled, pressing her face against the pillow.

"No!" Elena gasped. "I just-"

"Think I'm weak?" Bonnie said fiercely, sitting up and turning to Elena. "That I wouldn't be able to stop Damon if he tried to draw my blood again? You think I would willingly give myself to him? I'm not incompetent, Elena." She continued to glare at Elena as she opened and closed her mouth repeatedly.

Finally she said. "None of that is true." Tears sprang to her eyes. "I just don't know what Damon would stop at."

Bonnie dropped her eyes. "You don't have to stay in here, Elena."

Elena held her ground. "I want to."

"I want to be alone, Elena. I need to think." Bonnie turned her brown eyes on Elena. "Please." She whispered.

Elena looked back out the window, then back at Bonnie. "Okay. But please, Bonnie, please, don't let anything in."

"Like you had to tell me," Bonnie muttered.

Elena left with a brush of her hand on Bonnie's shoulder.

.

Late in the night, a tap on the window interrupts the serene silence. Bonnie starts awake violently, sitting upright and looking out the window. Her terrified gaze is met with a wicked smirk from a dark crouching figure behind the glass of the window. "Damon." Bonnie gasped. She threw the sheets aside and walked to the window and opened it.

"Hello, Bonnie." He said in his dark ironical voice. He stepped into the room.

"I don't know why your here." Bonnie stated, stepping back from him and rubbing her arms softly; the open window blew in cold air.

The only thing she could see of him was his eyes, because he had his back to the moon. She was sure he could see her expression clearly- even without the help of the moon light.

"I'm surprised you didn't listen to Elena." He said.

"You listened." She said, squinting slightly at him.

"I wanted to see that the other witch here didn't poison you." He smirked.

She cleared her throat and averted her eyes. "Well, I assumed Elena was talking about Shinichi- or something like that. Something bad. When she told me not to let anything in."

"And I'm not bad?" He asked.

Bonnie glanced up, only to see his eyes right before her's- except they weren't staring into hers, they were staring at her lips. Bonnie breathed slowly in and out. "No- not bad. Just ... animus."

"To whom?" He asked slowly, his voice changing tones.

Bonnie swallowed. "To-um-Shinichi ... Your brother."

His hand moved to her neck, lifting her face towards his. "My brother?"

"Uhm-yes. And-uhh-" She abruptly cut off; this was all too overwhelming. She had told Elena she would never willingly give herself to Damon, and she wasn't about to. There was a intense fire between them that could not grow anymore. "And, I think you should leave."

Damon cocked his head to the side. "Do you?"

"Yes. For Elena's sake."

"I couldn't care less." He said, his endless black eyes snapping to hers. "What does she have to do with this?"

"This?" Bonnie asked, her eyebrows pinching together.

Then the light snapped on, Bonnie felt the hand on her neck dissapear and a lightening fast gust of chilling air flew past her. Her head snapped to the door to see Meredith and Elena standing there.

"What are you doing?" Elena gasped. Meredith went to shut the window.

"It's freezing in here!" Meredith exclaimed.

"I'm sorry," Bonnie said, not knowing what she was apologizing for. "I thought I heard something."

"So you opened the window?" Elena asked, going to give Bonnie a robe.

Bonnie slipped it on. "Uhm, yes. I guess that was stupid."

Elena rubbed Bonnie's arms.

Meredith studied her features with keen dark eyes. "Bonnie- are you okay?"

Bonnie rubbed her eyes, "Yes, I'm just tired. I'm going back to bed."
