A/N: I see you guys have noticed that Stefan is not like the heroic Stefan on TVD. Yep...he's really different and u may or may not like him...Ehh this is kinda short chap...the next will be longer
Summary: In a world where vampires own witches as their slaves, one witch refuses to give into the stereotype giving one Damon Salvatore a run for his reputation of destruction. Bamon.
Can't Be Tamed
Bonnie passed out from the protesting, crying, and pain of the mark on her back so Damon ended up placing her in his bed instead of the bathtub. He still had to get the wound cleaned so he took her shirt off, trying his hardest not to stare at her bare chest, and turned her onto her stomach to get a good view of her back. He was surprised to see that the 'D' wasn't the only mark that was on her. There were scars, old and new, and bite marks most likely from previous masters. This witch had a tough life.
He got a bowl of warm water with a washrag and began slowly washing her back, not caring when some water and blood spilled on his bed. He traced some of the scars on her back with his finger, wondering what thing she must've done to get them.
"Hey." Damon turned to see Stefan standing in the doorway with a raw steak in his hand. "Brought this for her head...since I'm pretty sure that lump on her head is getting bigger."
"You leaving a knot on her head is the least of her worries, brother. But look at you caring all of a sudden."
Stefan sighed then entered the bedroom, "I care...it's just I'm shocked that you do and so much. You don't even know her and she did try to kill you. I mean, you were going to disobey Klaus because of her."
"It would be nice if you did for once." Damon snapped, "You're not his fucking little right hand man anymore, Stefan! Grow some balls already!"
Stefan rolled his eyes and walked over to the bed, spotting Bonnie's back. "Wow..."
"Tell me about it."
"I got you someone downstairs. You need to feed...and I'm not talking about just going downstairs and drinking your weight in liquor. Actually get some blood in you. I'll watch Bonnie."
Damon snorted, not believing him.
"Damon, I'll watch Bonnie. Go eat." Stefan repeated, more serious this time. He watched his brother roll his eyes but get up anyways. "If she wakes up I'll let you know. She probably hasn't got much sleep in awhile."
"Ya think?" He leaned forwards and reached into her shorts pockets, pulling out the little black book she almost went crazy over before. "I'm just gonna take this and see what's so important in it."
"I don't think she'll like that very much..."
"So? She's mine right? I deserve to know what's so important about this. Might give me some more insight into her life."
Stefan was going to reply but decided not to. Damon was stubborn and Damon actually did believe Bonnie was his...which she technically was but try telling her that. Since he figured she was his; everything, especially the personal things, was fair game.
"Just...read it before she wakes up. I'd hate her to catch you and attempt to stab you again."
"I got this, little brother." Damon grinned, "I mean I've read all your diary entries without you realizing it. And I must say you really need to find a companion. You're so sappy and alone."
"Damon!"
"I was bored and drunk." He held the little black book up, "I'm just gonna have a little look in this and I'll be back...if she wakes up..."
"I already told you I'd let you know." Stefan interrupted, obviously already annoyed with his brother. "Go feed and...read."
Damon made his way downstairs, immediately spotting a blonde sitting in the living room by the fireplace. She was young and already covered in bite marks. Either Stefan got to her first or she was a regular "blood donar" to the vampire community. Either way, Damon wasn't so interested in feeding yet. He had better things to do especially when it would give him more insight to his new witch.
"Umm...you, you can leave." He said as he made his way into the room and sat on the couch. He watched as the girl gave him a confused look, not quite understanding why he was dismissing her without tasting her first.
"Am I not your type? I promise my blood is good!" She spoke up immediately as he rolled his eyes at her. "Stefan told me to make sure you feed..."
"And Stefan is not my maker or mother so if I don't feed it's none of his fucking business." Damon replied sharply, causing the girl to jump a little. "I'm in a reading mood and you're kinda pissing me off after I had a rough day."
"But I..."
"Leave!" Without another word the girl quickly got up and made a dash for the door, running past another young blonde in the process. "Ughh...I swear I need to change those locks."
The young woman grinned as she made her way over to him. She was dressed in a cheerleader outfit, her hair up in a curly ponytail. She didn't seem fazed by the other vampire's annoyance.
"Catch you on a bad day? Oh wait...everyday is a bad day for you. Where's Stefan?"
Damon eyed her then rolled his eyes. "Upstairs babysitting my property. Don't you wanna go bother your mom? I'm pretty sure she's happy to see her daughter as head cheerleader...oh wait, you're mother disowned you." He watched as the young vampire flinched at his words. Caroline Forbes was an accidental newly turned vampire who was brought up by a single mother who hated them with all her being. After transforming, she was kicked out her house and forced to take care of herself with help from Stefan.
Caroline gave him a weak smile then turned towards the door, "Tell...tell Stefan I stopped by. Bye." She was suddenly gone and Damon felt like the biggest dick in the world. He didn't mean to be so cruel but the day he was having already didn't put him the best of moods.
"Fuck." He muttered to himself before opening the small book that belonged to Bonnie, a couple of wallet size pictures fell out it. He glanced at the first one of an old woman who he recognized. She was one of the oldest Bennetts...who was also murdered.
He remembered that night clearly. Stefan, who was working for Klaus at the time, was sent to murder any witch who disobeyed with the new law that Klaus and Elijah established. The other supernatural beings had no problem with witches being owned since it meant there would be no more war between them and humans didn't care as long as they didn't have to get involved.
The Bennetts were one of the oldest and strongest of witches and when they refused to be controlled, Stefan was sent to set an example. That night Damon had followed his brother, wanting to make sure nothing would happen to him only to realize that once Stefan started slaughtering the witches that this was not the brother he had known. He tried to stop him, only angering Stefan some more. By time the fight was over Stefan had succeeded in wiping out the Bennetts...all but one kid. Damon quickly saved the little girl and got her to safety while Stefan reported back to Klaus.
One Bennett left...a girl...Bonnie...
Damon's eyes widened in realization as he put the pieces together. He wasn't one to really pay attention to anything till he actually thought about it and since he's been too busy pissing off Klaus and Elijah he didn't notice until now. He had saved Bonnie. His Bonnie. The Bonnie Stefan was suppose to kill...the one Stefan was now alone with.
Stefan paced back and forth in Damon's room, his dark eyes not once leaving Bonnie's body. He had a lot of thinking to do and though most of it went against his beliefs it was something he felt he had to finish.
Bonnie was the last of the Bennetts and it was his duty to get rid of all of them. He may have no longer worked for Klaus after paying back his debts to the elder vampire but there was something about Bonnie that told him she was going to be trouble. And right now he could not deal with trouble. He had to protect himself and Damon.
"I'm so sorry..." He whispered aloud, slowly making his way over to the bed. He gently turned Bonnie onto her back, his hand lightly caressing her face before making it's way to her neck. "I've gotta finish what I've started..." The grip around her neck tightened and her eyes shot open suddenly, meeting his. "Bonnie..."
She gasped before using all her energy to magically push him back, flinging him across the room. She screamed and quickly got out the bed and ran towards the door only to run into Damon's chest. She struggled against his hold, kicking and screaming.
"Bonnie! Stop!"
"Get off me!" She continued to scream, not caring that she was topless. "Let go of me! He's trying to kill me!"
Damon looked over to Stefan who was still magically pinned to the wall. His went eyes demonic and soon he was in front of his brother, clutching his throat. Bonnie could've used that as her opportunity to leave since Damon's attention was all on his brother now but instead she stood and watched them, her arms across her bare chest.
"What the fuck, Stefan!" Damon hissed angrily, "I have to deal with the rest of the vampire world trying to kill her! I won't have my own witch in my house having to fight you too! What're you thinking!"
"She's the last Bennett, Damon!" Stefan replied, his demonic face taking form too. "You saved her! She should be dead!"
Bonnie's jaw dropped as she stared at Damon. No wonder that smirk looked so familiar...she was just a kid then but she remembered it all so well, like a horrible nightmare. Damon Salvatore saved her from being killed with her family.
"I should rip your throat out and let you bleed all over this floor." Damon said, not noticing the way Bonnie was looking at him. "You're going to kill her while she's already down? Like some kind of animal? That's not you, Stefan...this isn't you!" He threw him to the floor. "Anything like this ever happens again I'm going to hold you down while she drives a stake through your heart."
Bonnie felt her legs working again and soon she was running down the stairs and out the Salvatore house, praying Damon didn't notice her leave.
Elena sat on her porch and looked out into the distance at nothing in particular. It was finally quiet at her house since her parents and brother left to deal with some more witch business across town. She didn't want to join them.
"Hey you." She looked up to see a young brunette guy, her neighbour Tyler. She knew of the Lockwoods and how they were all werewolves but since growing up around them and knowing Tyler as long as she did she wasn't scared. Tyler was one of her close friends who also hated the idea of witches being threated such a way. As a werewolf he knew how much it sucked to be a caged animal. "Parents left?"
Elena nodded, "Yep...went to do more business. Bonnie left with her new master already so I'm just here...thinking..."
"About?"
"How he must be treating her."
Tyler sighed then joined her on the porch. "I know how you feel for Bonnie and want her to be happy but let's face it...these vampire dicks are pretty much running everything around here and having witches under their wings makes them even more invincible."
"We all have rights...shouldn't they?"
Tyler snorted, "Not even we have rights. Most humans are food source for the bloodsuckers and when werewolves turn we're forced to be locked up and chained."
"Cuz if you were to bite a vampire..."
"They'd be dust." He finished with a huge grin. Elena smiled too. "You shouldn't think so much of it. At least she's not being tortured...she should be fine if she listens..."
"Bonnie never listens. That's the problem."
"Yeah..." Tyler heard a small noise, quickly turning to look around. There were small sobs then suddenly a half naked Bonnie appeared and collapsed in front of the Gilbert's house, bruised and dirty.
"Oh my god! Bonnie!" Elena quickly jumped off her porch and gathered her friend into her arms. "Bonnie!" She cried, "Bonnie...what happened? What did they do to you?"
Bonnie didn't answer, instead she held her friend close and buried her head into the crook of her neck. Elena never saw her this scared and destroyed in her life. Not with any of her other masters, even after all the beatings and bites.
"Bonnie...please...talk to me..." She begged and she held onto her. "What happened? Where's your vampire?"
"Maybe I should call someone." Tyler spoke up.
"No!" Elena shouted, "Just...just help me get her in my house and quick before some one sees!"
