Chapter 2:
Bonnie woke again and slowly opened her eyes, she let her eyes adjust to the light from the window, it was morning or at least she guessed it was.
Bonnie tried to move but her limbs felt like dead weights.
"Dam it." Bonnie muttered to herself.
"Bon you're awake." Caroline voice said happily.
"Care?" Bonnie said her voice dry and sore.
"She's awake." Caroline screamed.
Bonnie winced her head was sore.
Bonnie heard the feet as someone approached the room and she tried to sit up but failed.
"You need to take it easy." Stefan said as he entered the room and helped her sit up.
Bonnie winced as he touched her skin as if everything was bruised.
"Sorry," Stefan muttered softly.
Bonnie took a deep breath.
"Everything hurts." She whispered.
Stefan nodded.
"It's the draining, it's going to take a while for you to get back to normal." Stefan explained.
Bonnie's eyes felt heavy.
"I'm so tired." Bonnie muttered.
"Sleep it would be good for you." Stefan said helping her lay back down again.
Bonnie wanted to protested but her eyes betrayed her and within minutes she was back to sleep.
Damon paced in the living room waiting for Stefan to come back down stairs. Elena, Jeremey and Matt sat of the sofa staring at nothing all waiting just like he was.
"You should have listen to Bonnie when she said she didn't want go." Matt said.
Damon wanted to glare at him and tell him to shut up but he knew the busboy was right, he knew right from the moment she walked away from Matt that she was hiding something.
FLASHBACK:
Bonnie stood up slowly and walked over to the map. Damon followed her eyes as she searched for something on the map.
"Bonnie?" Stefan called.
Bonnie looked over at him.
"This is where they are." Bonnie said pointing to the right place.
Damon look over her shoulder, his brother did the same.
"What do they want with Elena?" Damon asked.
Bonnie shook her head.
"They don't want Elena." Bonnie replied.
Damon studied her, he didn't doubt she was telling the truth but there was something about the way she was avoiding their eyes that told him she was keeping something from them. Bonnie only ever did things like this when she was trying to protect them.
"Then who do they want?" Stefan asked.
Bonnie looked away and shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know." She replied.
Damon knew she was lying and he knew she was definitely going to do something about it without them.
"I still think we should find out what they want." Damon couldn't stop himself from saying.
"Damon's right." Elena agreed and Bonnie rolled her eyes.
Damon had watched as Bonnie and Elena's bond slowly disappear lately. Damon knew it wasn't because the witch didn't care about Elena anymore she did but somehow in the process the little witch always seemed to get hurt. Just like Elena always had a dial that led her to always get in trouble.
"Not you, you stay here. Me, Stefan, Barbie and Judgy will go." Damon said.
Elena opened her mouth to argue but Bonnie beat her too it.
"No." Bonnie said.
Everyone looked at her surprised.
"Come on Judgy this needs to be done." Damon said.
Bonnie shook her head and Damon hid his smirk it was about time the little witch stood up for herself but this just confirmed his suspicions that she was keeping something from them.
"I said no." Bonnie said adamantly.
"Please Bonnie we have to find a way to protect ourselves." Elena said walking over to her friend.
Bonnie looked at her friend and shook her head.
"No." Bonnie replied and walked towards the door.
"Bonnie I'm asking you for one thing how difficult can that be, I haven't asked you for nothing in the years we've been friends. Please." Elena begged and Damon winced for Bonnie.
Bonnie head turned round fast. Damon knew Elena hadn't meant what she said but he could see the hurt and pain on the little witch's face.
"You never ask me for anything?" Bonnie asked in disbelief as she slowly approached Elena.
"Bonnie, Elena never meant that." Caroline said realising what Elena had ultimate said.
Bonnie ignored Caroline and focused on Elena.
"So my mum and my grams are nothing?" Bonnie asked and Elena gasped finally realising what she had said.
"I'm sorry…" Elena started but Bonnie put up her hand to stop her.
"This is the last thing I ever do for you, after this were done. I never want to see you face again." Bonnie said.
Damon always wondered when how much it would take until Bonnie gave up on Elena and he finally witnessed it, and he couldn't blame the little witch at all.
"Bonnie…" Elena said softly.
Bonnie ignored her and looked over at Damon.
"We leave in an hour. The first sign this is anything the four of us can't handle Caroline and I are out of there." Bonnie said and without waiting for a reply she left.
"I didn't mean that." Elena whispered tears strolling down her face.
"But you still said it." Caroline added before heading out after her friend.
END OF FLASHBACK.
Stefan came down stairs Caroline following closely behind.
"How is she?" Matt asked.
"Tired and probably in a hell of a lot of pain." Stefan replied sitting down hard.
Damon new Stefan felt just a guilty as he did.
"What the hell happened?" Elena demanded.
Damon looked over at her and shook his head. If you had asked him a year ago what he would give to be with Elena he would have said anything now he wasn't so sure he would give anything.
"It was a trap." Stefan whispered.
"For me?" Elena asked.
"They never wanted you." Damon spat almost harshly.
They all knew Bonnie was hiding something and yet they still didn't think twice about taking the little witch to the very place she never wanted to go.
"Then what did they want?" Elena asked clearly confused.
"Bonnie." Caroline whispered through her tears.
Memories flooded Damon, her screams of pain.
"Why did they want Bonnie?" Elena asks.
"We don't know." Stefan said.
Damon looked over at his brother.
"But we will." Damon added.
Someone was after their witch and he was going to find out just exactly what they wanted before he killed them.
Bonnie felt the stinging pain on her cheek as she took another hit.
"Tell me what I want to know." He demanded.
Bonnie squinted her eyes she could just about see her tormentors shape but other than that she knew nothing about the man who controlled her torturer.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Bonnie replied honestly.
He was looking for some necklace that belonged to Emily's mother, up until now Bonnie had never heard about it.
"Wrong answer." The voice from the shadow said.
Bonnie gulped at his cold voice.
"Drain her until she tells you everything." The voice ordered.
Her torturer, the same man she had seen in her versions nodded. He attached something to her wrists and he stepped back.
"Where's the necklace?" Her torturer asked.
"I don't know." Bonnie repeated.
He shook his head and flicked a switch on his left an electric pulse shot through Bonnie's body and she let out a blood curdling scream.
Bonnie opened her eyes as something cold caressed her forehead.
"It's just a nightmare." Damon's cool tone said.
Bonnie opened her eyes slowly. She wished it had been just a dream.
"I wish." Bonnie whispered.
She felt Damon's eyes on her as she tried to sit up but ignored him until he ended up moving her to a sitting position.
"Thank you." Bonnie said her throat sore and dry.
Damon brought a glass of water to her lips and she drank greedily the cool water feeling good on her throat.
"There'll come back." Bonnie told Damon.
Damon stared at her and Bonnie looked directly back at him.
"I know." He replied.
"Then you should get rid of me because we both know there not afraid to kill anyone to get what they want." Bonnie said.
The memoires of people appearing from everywhere as she watched Stefan, Damon and Caroline have there neck snapped.
"I know." He repeated, his eyes still on hers.
She waited but he never moved.
"Are you going to sacrifice me to save Elena?" Bonnie couldn't help herself asking.
He never blinked and Bonnie's heartbeat increased, she knew things had changed between them ever since she gave him her blood.
FLASHBACK;
"Tell me why we're doing this again?" Damon asked.
They were walking through the woods looking for a group of wild vampires who were trying to kill Elena who had kill their creator to protect Jeremey.
"So they don't kill Elena." Bonnie replied as if it was obvious but she was starting to wander why herself.
"I get that but, why us?" He asked again.
Bonnie shook her head. She didn't know why either. Stefan and Caroline could just as easily be out her as they were. Especially since Elena wasn't currently with either of the Salvatore brothers at the moment.
"Because your you and I'm me." Bonnie replied.
Damon smirked at her.
"You mean because I'm the strongest and you're the witch." Damon counted.
Bonnie ignored him he was right but Damon was big headed enough as it was she wasn't about to make him even more so.
She was saved from having to reply when she heard noises.
"Looks like we've got company." Damon muttered.
Bonnie readied herself as one by one she and Damon find herself surrounded.
"You ready Judgy?" Damon asked.
"Let's just do this." Bonnie replied.
They fault for what seemed like hours but couldn't been more than ten minutes but there were more than either of them had anticipated and Damon had already received quite a beating and she wasn't sure how long she could hang on for either.
"Damon?" Bonnie shouted as she sent another fire spell towards a vampire heading her way.
"Kind of busy here Judgy." Damon replied as he did battle with another vampire.
"Drink from me." Bonnie shouted and she felt Damon's eyes dart over to her.
"I think you've finally lost it Judgy." Damon argued.
Bonnie glared at him as she slowly approached him.
"Trust me." She hissed.
Damon looked at her before slowly nodding. Bonnie put her arms round his neck to look over his shoulder in case they were attacked and tilted her head to the side.
"Witches blood is addictive." Damon commented she could feel his cold breath on her collar bone and she shivered.
"I trust you." Bonnie replied truthfully she don't know when that happened but she did.
Damon took a breath and bit into her neck as gently as he could. Bonnie took a sharp breath. She expected it to be horrible but it wasn't. It was nothing like she expected. A few minutes later Damon pulled away she knew it was hard for him but he did. She looked at him as he bit into his wrist.
"Heal." He whispered.
Bonnie nodded slowly and gently licked from his wrist until he pulled away.
"Let's end this." He said.
Bonnie smiled witches blood did was two things to a vampire, very addictive and it improved their strength greatly. Bonnie knew this fight wouldn't last much longer.
END OF FLASHBACK
"No." he said and she believed him.
Bonnie nodded slowly as her eyes begun to tier once again.
"The more rest you get the quicker you'll heal." Damon told her as he helped her lay back down.
Bonnie wanted to fight she hated feeling so weak but she knew this was one fight she wasn't winning anytime soon.
"Anything?" He asked as Malcolm entered his office.
"She is at the Salvatore house. We could break in and take her." Malcolm offered.
He shook his head.
"No, we wait." He replied.
Malcolm looked confused.
"When she healed she'll won't be able to help herself she'll look for the necklace and when she has the necklace then we take her." He replied.
Malcolm nodded.
"Keep an eye on the house." He added as an afterthought.
For now he needed them to believe she was safe. The safer she felt the quicker she'd heal and the sooner she heals the quicker he found that necklace.
