THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS AND SUPPORT...Y'ALL ARE AWESOME! ;)

RANDOM WORD: SUPPORTER

"I can't run anymore." He groaned as she stilled and glanced around to look for their pursuers.

"Damon, we can't stay here. Just a bit further and we can get out of here." Her desperation hung in the air like a cloud.

"Go on. I'll be fine...just let me rest here a few moments and I'll catch up."

"No, you'll get staked and Stefan and Elena will never forgive me." She wiped the sweat from her brow. "Look, I'm tired too. You aren't exactly light, you know?"

"Are you calling me fat?" He mocked, but the joke was lost when he sank to the ground unceremoniously.

"Alright, you know what, we really are out of time we gotta go." She hoisted him back up with his arm over her shoulder, but strained under the extra weight. This was bad. He couldn't even support himself anymore. "Damn it Damon!" She yelled in frustration as he hit the ground again. "What will help?"

"Honestly, blood," he mused. "Don't look at me like that! I'm a vampire. That's what always helps and that's all that helps."

She sighed heavily and stuck her arm out to him.

"Thanks, but no thanks little witch. I'd rather not die from anymore vervain." He pushed her arm away from his face.

"I don't have any vervain in my system you arrogant jerk. I don't have time for this! Stefan will..."

He motioned to interrupt her. "Yes, Saint Stefan will be displeased if you let his personal demon die, I'm sure."

"This isn't just about Stefan!" She had revealed too much already, but she could sense the others closing in fast and she was desperate.

"Then what's it about Bonnie?" He was desperate to hear her say it.

"Please Damon," the tears blurred her vision and her voice sounded like she was talking through peanut butter. He grasped her arm and brought it slowly to his mouth giving her time to change her mind.

"If we do this Bonnie there is no going back. This will change everything." He took her silence as acceptance and for a few moments the only sound in the clearing was Bonnie's moans as Damon drank from her wrist.

"Well, well, well," Katherine sauntered in flanked by two other vampires. "You never could get away from me Damon, and with the descendant of Emily? I'm literally going to kill two birds with one stone." Her laughter echoed eerily off the trees and surrounding cliffs giving the feeling of being surrounded by evil spirits.

Bonnie stood and tried to focus, the loss of blood making her light headed. "You leave Damon out of this!"

Katherine's fangs flashed as she hissed. "Don't tell me what to do little girl. He's was mine before and he'll be mine again!"

"I wouldn't count on that." Damon stood and Bonnie felt him grasp her hand tightly. "My tastes have changed."
