Chapter Ten! Wow this sure is coming along! Enjoy!
Chapter Ten
"BONNIE WAIT!" Fells' Damon and Elena shouted at the same time. Damon stood and raced after her. Elena spotted Fells' Stefan coming in the door and rushed out of the house mumbling something like "I have to go" Leaving the rest of the group standing confused in the living room.

Elena pulled the hood to her sweatshirt over her head before she pulled out her cell phone and looked for Mystic Damon's Contact. She hit call and he answered on the third ring.
"What's it going to take for you not to tell?" Elena asked quickly. She could almost see Damon standing in front of her smirking.
"Meet me at Starbucks in ten minutes" Damon replied before clicking the line shut.

Bonnie sobbed into her pillow seeing Damon and Elena together like that broke her. Damon had cheated on her before with Elena and this was just the final straw.
She jumped when her Damon came into the room. "Bonnie... you don't understand what's going on! Elena and I... There's nothing. She loves Tyler! Bonnie I love you! Something horrible almost happened to Elena last night and she needed me. Her family isn't here She doesn't have anyone! Elena can't tell anyone either because then things would change forever... you just have to let it go! Things will be okay soon, I promise" Damon explained quickly. "I. Love. YOU. Bonnie... No one else" Damon added pulling her into a hug.
Bonnie pushed him away, "If something happened to her we have a right to know. That's what our whole sisterhood is about. We don't keep secrets from each other. If she told us, we could be there for her too. She's the one choosing not to tell us, she is the one isolating herself from the people who love her." Damon remained silent. She had a point.
"She knows she can tell Meredith and I anything. After all, what's anything without trust?" Damon had a feeling she wasn't just talking about Elena and Bonnie's friendship. Suddenly, she was making her way toward the door.
"Where are you going?" Damon tried again, his voice cracking.
"Out."

Elena pushed open the glass door of Starbucks and stepped inside, instantly enveloped in a warm wave of air, of which she was grateful of. She looked around the small place and finally spotted Mystic's Damon standing at the front, flirting with the brunette behind the counter. She rolled her eyes and stepped beside him. It took him exactly three minutes to notice she was there.
When he finally did, he wrapped an arm around her, crying "Hey Elena!" The girl he'd been flirting with seconds ago frowned and turned red with jealousy. "Do you want anything?" Asked Damon.
"No thanks." Elena responded icily, shrugging off his hand and eying the brunette, who was glaring off into space.
"Let's sit then." Damon offered and Elena nodded, following him to a table for two. She sat across from him, crossing her arms, "Alright. Let's negotiate."

Fells' Damon walked back downstairs dejectedly. "She's angry... at me... and Elena. You all know there's nothing going on between the two of us right?" He asked the group. They all looked away, with no response.
"Come on! Are you serious!? You all know that something bad happened to Elena! I can't tell you what because it's none of your business, but she needed me because I SAW what happened. No one else will understand this okay?" Damon snapped and glared at each of them in turn.
"Look Damon, It's not that we don't believe you... it's just that we really don't know what to believe...this is all so crazy... Everyone's left out of this GIANT secret that you, your Elena, and your Stefan are keeping. So can you really blame us?" Mystic's Bonnie asked frustrated.
"No... I guess not" Damon sank down into the couch, head in his hands before the rest went off to do their own thing.

Fells' Bonnie hurried out of the house, pulling her jacket around her in the pelting rain. She shivered as she ran to get into a car. 'where can I go right now to calm down?' She thought to herself. Maybe she didn't want to calm down. Maybe she wanted to get even with Elena and that's what drove her to the Lockwood mansion.
Am I really doing this? Bonnie thought as she parked in the Lockwood driveway. She thought back to the pain and jealousy she'd felt when she'd seen Elena and Damon and nodded to herself, Yes I am. She quickly got out and raced to the door, getting soaked along the way. She hadn't even knocked when the door swung open to reveal a confused looking Tyler.
"Bo-Stacey?" Asked Tyler as he stepped aside so she could come in. She shivered and followed him to a bench in front of the fireplace.
"What are you doing here?" He said as he lit a newspaper and threw it into the wood in the fireplace. The flames danced to life and Bonnie leaned forward, rubbing her hands together to warm them. She waited a few seconds before she turned toward him.
"Tyler..." She whispered in what she hoped was a sexy, seductive voice.
"Yeah?" His eyebrows furrowed in perplexed. She brought her right leg to the other side of the bench as if she were mounting a horse then dragged her nails up and down his chest, leaning forward to brush her lips across his ear.
"I like you." She purred.
"Uh." Tyler chuckled nervously, placing his hands on her stomach as he tried to push her away, "You and I both go out with someone." This is ridiculous. I bet I look like a total idiot. She sighed and turned away, scooting further away from him.
"Sorry." She mumbled as her cheeks reddened, "I was just trying to get back at them but-"
"Get back at who?" Tyler interrupted.
"Damon and Elena."
"Which ones?"
"Both from Fells Church."
Tyler stiffened, "Why would you need to get back at them?"
"I think Damon cheated on me." She admitted with a sad smile.
"Damon cheated on you...with Elena?"

"Now hold up there princess... this isn't really a negotiation... You do what I say... or I tell. Simple as that" Damon smirked, leaning back in his chair.
"Fine. What do you want?" Elena's blue eyes narrowed.
"Well first of all I want blood... whenever I need it... you need to be available, okay." He made it sound like a statement.
"Done... anything else?" She asked annoyed with the game he was playing.
"Well I absolutely love this drama between you, Stefan, Bonnie, and the other Damon from Fell's Church... It's like my own personal television show... so you have to tell everyone that you and Damon really do have something going on." He smiled sweetly at her.
Elena fought the urge to hit him at the moment and just glared, "That's not fair to Bonnie or Damon"
"Well darling, life isn't fair, so why don't you do what I said" He snapped.
"Damon's going to deny it" Elena replied.
"I doubt it... it might actually end up with you two really kissing if you ask me. You two are WAY to close to just be 'Best Friends'" Damon laughed.
"Why would you want to do this!?" Elena spoke through gritted teeth.
"Like I said: It amuses me." Damon shrugged. Elena opened her mouth to say something, but her phone vibrating on the table interrupted her. "Oh... Tyler's calling... looks like Bonnie stopped over there... You might want to get that" Damon waggled his brows at her as she picked up the phone. "Hello?" She asked tentatively.
"We're over Elena. Bonnie told me what you and Damon did. I hope you two are fucking happy together" Tyler snapped into the phone. Elena's eyes burned with tears, but she wouldn't cry. Not in front of Mystic's Damon.
"Are you happy now?" She glared one last time after Tyler had hung up and stormed out.

Bonnie was on her way back to the Boarding House. Her plan had succeeded and she'd been sitting right beside Tyler when he called Elena and broke up with her. She should have felt good; She'd won. But all she felt was a mix of emotions-anger, disappointment, and guilt.
Guilt because Elena was still her best friend. But when she pulled up the drive-way she was surprised to see that another car was parked there with the headlights shining brightly against the darkness. She ducked behind the steering wheel and peered over it to see that her golden-haired friend/ex-friend, whatever, was coming out of the passenger's side. She slid down even lower and could only hope that she wasn't recognized.
Elena didn't even glance her way and Bonnie breathed out in relief. This was, after all, only a car that she'd borrowed from Mystic's Bonnie. Plus there were about five other cars in the drive-way, almost shielding the one she was in completely. She heard another door open and she peeked again just in time to see Mystic's Damon. So now she's screwing with this Damon too? She thought to herself bitterly.
Then, Maybe not, I've got to stop assuming. Either way, she rolled down the window because she caught a quick glance of Elena yelling at Damon. The rain had died down and now the only sound was the wind blowing violently against the trees. She sent some of her Power to her ears and listened. "What about my car?!"
"It's a rental, who cares?"
"I do! I'm the one paying for it!"
"Fine, if it really worries you so much I'll go back later. Just give me the keys."
She could still hear them but their voices were growing fainter and she knew that they were lingering outside the front door.
"Now." Damon was saying, "Remember what I told you. As soon as you go inside you have to tell everyone what happened between this other Damon and you. Tell them it wasn't anything innocent like you two have made them believe. Tell them that while they were in school you two were shoving your tongues down each others throats." Bonnie gripped the edge of her seat tightly and swallowed back tears.
"You're a sick bastard!" She heard Elena hiss. The doorknob was turning.
"Not so fast."
"What do you want now, Damon?!"
"At midnight, meet me in the cellar. You know what for." Then the door was opened and the two of them hurried inside.
XXX
Bonnie felt tears burn in her eyes. She didn't know what to do hearing that something DID happen between Elena and her Damon and now something else was happening between the other Elena's Damon. She gritted her teeth, would she tell anyone? She bit her lip and decided against it. What would she tell them? Mystic's Damon would deny that one anyway. She took a deep breath and walked into the house like she hadn't heard anything.
XXX
Fells' Elena nudged Fells' Damon in the side nodding towards the kitchen. He followed her in.
"Damon... The other Damon wants me to say that we had something going on. That's what it's going to take for him to keep his mouth shut." Elena whispered.
"He what!?" Damon gasped.
"He also wants me to be his 'blood slave'" Elena's eyes narrowed annoyed.
"You don't want me to actually go out there and go along with this do you?" Damon asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No Damon... So he's going to tell... but that's better then Bonnie and your relationship being ruined" Elena gave a half smile. Damon gave a half smile back as he followed her into the living room.
"You all want to know what the 'Huge secret' is?" Elena yelled out, pushing her blonde hair from her eyes. They all turned toward her, she couldn't help but notice the smirk on Mystic Damon's face.
"Well the truth is that Stefan-"
"Stefan caught Elena and I making out at school... I went there to see Elena so that no one would catch us and that obviously didn't work" Fells' Damon said covering Elena's mouth with his hand. She turned her blue eyes on his dark ones. He just bit his lip and nodded slightly, walking away from her and upstairs.

"What the hell, 'Lena?" Caroline was the first to break the silence, "You would really do that to Bon?" Then she raised her head and shouted, "And you, Damon Salvatore! I know you can hear me from up there! How could you cheat on her again?! You're disgusting!"
Everyone else was once again stunned into silence by her outburst. "We should go to our room. Have a girl chat." Mystic's Elena offered weakly, standing up.
"Yeah, we should." Mystic's Bonnie agreed quietly, "I'll get some snacks."
"I'll help." The two of them disappeared into the kitchen. They'd obviously wanted to get the heck out of there.
"Let's go, Bon." Meredith whispered to the small red-head, who was glaring off into space, her jaw clenched. She was surprised that Bonnie hadn't burst into tears by now.
"Right. Come with us Caroline?" Bonnie finally said. Caroline nodded and the three of them got up, joining Mystic's Bonnie and Elena who were waiting for them at the bottom of the stair case with chocolate and bags of chips.
"What a friend." Caroline sneered at Fells' Elena when they passed her.
"So much for the Sisterhood." Bonnie snapped, glaring fiercely at her. Even Meredith kept her head high and shot her a disappointed look. Elena fought back tears and looked down at her shoes until they were gone.
"Way to go, Einstein." Mystic's Damon called from his leather chair, an amused grin on his face. She ignored him and no longer tried to fight the sting in her eyes. Her blue orbs pooled with tears and she glanced around the room, searching for just one sympathetic face. But all of the guys were looking away from her awkwardly or pretending to be engrossed in their phones. She grabbed her bag and raced out the door before the first heavy sob could escape. Not only had she been dropped from the sisterly bond the girls from both Fells Church and Mystic Falls girls were beginning to form, she'd also been dismissed from the group entirely.

Fells' Elena had fallen asleep in a car and jumped when her phone vibrated in her sweatshirt pocket.
It was Mystic Damon's name on the screen: Basement. Now. Elena sighed and slowly got out of the car slipping into the house and going to the basement.
"Great Job today... I told you he wouldn't deny it... now... take your sweatshirt off." Damon instructed.
Elena glared and unzipped the hoodie, tossing it to the floor. Damon was up next to her in a second. He kissed her neck, once, twice, three times before sinking his teeth in. He drank deeply and left her feeling dizzy. "Is that it?" She asked.
He nodded handing her back her jacket. "Wear a scarf to cover up the marks tomorrow. Alright?" His voice was a soft whisper in her ear. She nodded weakly. They walked back up to the main house together neither saying a word until Elena headed for the front door.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"Back to sleep." Elena replied icily.
"In a car? Are you crazy. Sleep on the couch" He said tossing her a blanket.
"Thanks... I still hate you... but thanks" Elena grumbled laying down and falling into a fitful sleep.
