Wow! Thank you all so much for the wonderful reviews, the follows, the favorites, and those that are just reading it! I thank you all again! If the characters seem a bit OOC right now, I do apologize. But again and again thank you! Xoxo.

It was dark this night. They were in the woods in Mystic Falls. Bonnie, Damon, Stefan, and Elena.

"Things are different now." Bonnie spoke, staring without any life in her eyes, at Damon whom Stefan was holding against a tree.

"Don't do this." Damon pleaded; the pain in his voice aware.

But she wouldn't listen. "Insendia!" she yelled, and flames surrounded her; blocking anyone who tried to interfere.

"NO!" Damon screamed, trying to move away from his brother to enter the flames, but Stefan would not let him go. "No…Please." He begged.

"Bonnie!" She heard Elena scream.

Not looking at her once, she threw a necklace in the air, and watched as it exploded in thin air.

"NO!" Damon screamed.

When the flames cease he glares at her with menace in his eyes. Bonnie looks at him, unaware at what was going on. Damon runs to her, faster than she can comprehend, and attacks her.

Sinks his teeth right into her neck, and she falls….drained of blood.

Bonnie's eyes shot up from the gruesome nightmare she experienced, almost afraid that it wasn't a dream. She touched her neck and looked around her room. A deep breath escaped her lips as the light cascaded its way into her room. She looked beside her and saw that Damon was sound asleep; very unaware of when he came over.

The last thing she remembered last night was coming home, being friendly with the toilet as the alcohol didn't set in her stomach well, and crying to her grams, as she took her to bed. She ended up telling her what the doctor told her, and her grams held her until she fell asleep. If it weren't for the nightmare she had, she would have said she slept peacefully, which was a surprise considering everything that was going on.

Nudging Damon several times, he finally stirred and opened his eyes. "Morning Sunshine," Were his first words as he rolled over to face her.

"When did you get here?"

"Around 5 this morning. Sheila called me and said she had to go up to the college early or something or another." He answered. "We didn't want you to be alone."

Her eyes widened a little, in hopes that her Grams didn't tell him about her condition. But calmed down when he continued.

"I'm sure with all of that throwing up, you have an incredible hangover." He said, reaching for the water bottle and aspirin on her nightstand he brought for her, when he came in.

"Crazy thing is…I feel just fine." Which shocked her, even.

As Bonnie turned to face Damon and crossed her legs, she decided that she wouldn't think about anything that would bring her down, because she couldn't bear to tell Damon anything.

"So, why are you really here in town, and be honest."

Damon could never get anything past Bonnie, even if he tried; vice versa. They were bonded…more than just best friends…sometimes they even considered each other soul mates.

"I dropped out." He laid back down, knowing what was coming.

"Damon!" She wasn't expecting that answer.

"I know,"

"Your dad? Your mom? There going too…"

"Kill me, I know, but I can't tell them just yet. Giuseppe already thinks I'm a disappointment to the world. He's just waiting for a reason to cut me off." It wasn't a secret that Giuseppe always gave Damon a hard time. He wanted Damon to join the army and get out of the house, but instead Damon took another route and went to college. It also wasn't a secret that Stefan was his pride and joy. If anyone ask they would range Stefan as the good brother and Damon as the bad brother. Even though Bonnie knew them as equally good, Damon just had a rougher exterior than Stefan. No matter what though, Bonnie saw nothing but good in Damon, even if he were being an overprotective ass at times, he meant no harm. And she would defend him until the end of time.

Damon's mother adored Bonnie, but his father on the other hand didn't favor her as much, because there were several times Bonnie stood up to Giuseppe for Damon, and she honestly couldn't care less if he didn't like her because of it.

"Why? Why would you drop out? What have you been doing this whole summer?"

"It just wasn't for me, I feel like I'm meant for something more." Damon was a lot smarter than people gave him credit for. He never failed anything in high school, always read; but with his bad boy exterior, people looked past that.

She then noticed something faint on his neck, "Um…what is that?" She really hoped her eyes were playing tricks on her.

Damon's eyes widened a bit, thinking it had cleared up, because he could barely see it.

"Bonnie, I know I've taught you what a hickey was." He laughed.

She lightly pushed him at his stupid joke. "Ha ha, ass." But then she really looked at it, "Damon, that hickey looks like a bite mark."

"Well, Bonnie, I don't need to tell you that sometimes when you…"

"Okay, too much information." She held up her hand to stop him from going any further. "And by the way, for your information, I know what a hickey is…"

His eyes narrowed. "If you mean that time you and Tyler were drunk two years ago, in the back of Elena's car, and I almost beat his ass, don't remind me."

Even though that was one of the only times she did something like that, excluding Ben's kiss last night, she did try to forget it. They wouldn't let Bonnie and Tyler live that down for the longest. And Damon and Tyler were at odds for almost half a year because of it. If it weren't for Bonnie and the rest of their friends putting their foot down, they probably would still be pissed at each other.

"Okay, so I'm not that experience, but enough about that…who is she? Where did you meet her?" Bonnie could be just as protective as Damon.

Damon didn't mind telling Bonnie about Katherine, but too be honest, he really couldn't think of much to say. Katherine made him feel alive, and she was beautiful….intoxicating.

"Is Damon Salvatore speechless? She must be some catch." She teased, and Damon lightly hit her with a pillow.

"Her name is Katherine." He said, answering at least part of her question.

"Katherine?...does she have a last name?" she joked.

At Damon's silence, and the confused expression on his face, told Bonnie almost everything. "Damon, you don't even know this girl's last name?"

"I know it, I just forgot at the moment," He said, standing up, and looking around at the many pictures she had of all of them.

"Wait, you kissed baby Gilbert." He said picking up the picture they took at the beginning of the summer.

She stood up and walked over to him, "It was his birthday, and if you look close enough you can see that I am kissing his cheek and Vicki is kissing his other cheek." She rolled her eyes and laughed.

"You know sarcasm never suits you."

Bonnie wasn't going to let his protective annoying outburst interrupt their talk on Katherine…not until she noticed something on his wrist. The same 'something' that was on his neck.

She then didn't know why all of a sudden she began thinking about the dream she had last night.

Later that day…

"Do you want us to come over there?" Bonnie asked Elena Gilbert, on a three way call with Caroline. After breaking up with Matt last night, she needed her best friends to be there for her, because it didn't turn out so well. And Bonnie and Caroline definitely didn't mind being her support system.

"Yeah, I have ice cream, cookies… the works," Caroline added.

"Thanks you guys," Elena said softly, "But tonight while Jeremy is hanging out with Aunt Jenna and Logan; Mom, Dad, and I are going to hang out. But tomorrow night, I will definitely need a girl's night." She confessed. She really hurt Matt's feelings, and she hated it.

"Have you both heard anything from him?"

"Not on this end," Caroline answered.

"Me either. I think he's just going to need time. I can ask Vicki later on today how he's doing, when she gets off of her shift at the Grille." Bonnie offered.

"Thanks, Bons, but hey, I'm going to go ahead and go. Thank you both for listening."

"Anytime," Caroline said, "Have fun tonight. My mother wants a mother daughter night…the joy." She said sarcastically.

Bonnie and Elena chuckled, and after everyone said bye, Bonnie made her way downstairs to see her Grams in the living room, reading one of her many books. She actually had several books around her, and she was flipping frantically through the pages.

"You may want to slow down Grams," she laughed, "I don't want you to get a paper cut."

Sheila looked up and smiled at her granddaughter, "Come sit, child."

As Bonnie sat down beside Sheila, she lifted her legs onto the couch, and snuggled into her grandmother. If it wasn't for her Grams, she would probably be completely lost. Yes, Damon was considered family to her, but since birth Grams had been there; nothing came before her like her dad.

"What are you doing, Grams?" she said, looking at the book in her hands. She tried reading it, but the words were in a different language.

Sheila closed the book, "Just doing some light reading for lesson plans for next week." She lied.

And Bonnie caught on, "In a different language?"

"Yes, Latin. " Sheila wanted to tell her daughter so much, but she felt as if it weren't just the right time yet. She had to respect her son of not bringing Bonnie into her world, but how long could she keep something like this from Bonnie, especially with the news of finding out Bonnie had a rare blood disorder and what Bonnie unconsciously did yesterday.

Respecting her son's wishes may not be the best idea after all.

"Grams, I need to tell you something, and you may think I'm crazy, but last night I had this weird dream, and I don't know….. I can't stop thinking about it." She confessed.

"What happened, dear?"

Bonnie explained the dream in full detail and how it was making her feel and Sheila hid her concern, but she was quite interested.

"Is this the first time you had a dream like that?" she asked.

"Yes…I know it was just a dream, but this was the first time I had a dream that felt completely real."

"Sometimes dreams are the gateway to reality.…"

They were silent for moment, with several thoughts racing through their minds.

Bonnie was the first to speak, her voice barely above a whisper, "What if I die, Grams…"

"Don't speak such foolishness," Sheila cut her off.

"I haven't been feeling my best this whole summer and now knowing I have this… some blood disorder…what if-"Her words were lost on the choked sob that escaped her lips.

Sheila held onto her as she cried, and she hated seeing Bonnie this way.

"My dear child, what if I told you something that could explain everything that is going on." She said holding onto her as the tears rolled down her cheeks.

Bonnie didn't understand.

"What if I told you were something really special….that you were different."

"Grams, what are you talking…" Bonnie's cell phone went off, interrupting her thoughts.

It was a text from Damon, letting her know that he was about to tell his family about dropping out.

"Crap….Grams, I have to go." She said, wiping her eyes, and standing up, putting all of her problems in the back of her mind. That was the type of person she was, no matter how sad she was…no matter what was going on in her life, she would put it aside until later to help others.

"What's wrong?" she asked, standing up with her.

"Family drama with Damon, I want to make sure he's okay." She said, grabbing her coat from the coat rack near the door.

Sheila knew her granddaughter better than anyone; so she knew that their talk was already in the back of her mind.

Later…. Later she would tell Bonnie that she was a witch, and this blood disorder wasn't a blood disorder to be exact. It was witches blood coursing through her veins. Pure Bennett witch blood.

But the affect it was having on her, and the reason why it was coming earlier than it should, is the reason why Sheila was doing her research.

Bonnie hugged her, "Thank you Grams, I love you."

Bonnie felt as if she walked into another World War, with all of the yelling going on between Damon and Giuseppe.

Giuseppe rolled his eyes when he noticed Bonnie come in, but his anger stayed towards Damon.

Bonnie walked over towards Damon's mom, who didn't look very well, and tried to comfort her. She had no idea where Stefan was, and she completely forgot to text him to see, when Giuseppe continued yelling broke her away from her thoughts.

"You just don't think do you, boy?! You just don't…you drop out, and you expect to what? Make something of yourself! Why can't you be more like your brother…you know he has things going for him, and you. You are a disappointment!"

Seeing the hurt on Damon's face, broke her heart, and enraged her at the same time. She knew that she didn't have any right to get in between them or to speak to her elders in such a way, but she couldn't help it.

"Mr. Salvatore, you don't have any idea what you're talking about! Damon is intelligent, never did failed a thing in school, was valedictorian, and you don't give him enough credit! He dropped out…but he will make something of himself regardless! Be a better father!" And with that, she grabbed Damon's hand, and took him into one of the rooms, that Bonnie liked to call their library.

She would apologize to Damon's mom later, but she knew that she needed the rest.

Damon didn't cry…sometimes he didn't think he could, but his eyes were clouded with tears, that he threatened to let fall. And Bonnie held on to him. Even though he severely taller, she held on, afraid to let go.

"You are not a disappointment, Damon." They pulled apart and stared at one another, "You are the most honorable guy I know." She touched his cheek gently, "Don't let anyone ever tell you differently."

It was barely a smile that formed on his features, but Bonnie knew it would come. She then grabbed a book and led him over to the couch. He lay down, resting his head on her lap, and she read to him. No one knew they did this, but it's been that way sense they were eight years old. When they both had down moments in their lives, when they needed to get away, they read to one another.

It may have sound weird, but it was their thing, and no one knew. This right here…these moments, made Bonnie and Damon. A friendship that could never be broken.

She was suffocating…she couldn't breathe. Water was streaming down her lungs, and for a moment she could only feel pain.

She was dying….when did this happen….how did this happen?

Bonnie's eyes shot open and she took a deep intake of breath. She looked around, and realized she was in The Salvatore's library.

"Hey, you okay?" Damon said groggily, waking up.

Bonnie took a moment to catch her breath, "Yeah….um…just had a bad dream." Another one.

Damon sat up, "Thanks for…earlier…you…"

"Hey, no need. I'd do it again." She gave him a light smile, because the dream she just experienced really took a high tole on her.

To try and clear her mind, she asked, "Hey, where's Stefan by the way….I thought he would at least be here."

"Before it all hit the fan, Stefan got a call from Matt, because I guess Elena broke his heart or something."

Even through Damon's insensitivity, Bonnie was glad Matt was okay.

When Bonnie's phone went off, and she saw that it was Caroline, she put it on speaker.

"Hey Caroline, what's up?"

"Bonnie! Bons!" Caroline screamed through the phone frantically. "Elena…"

"Care, wait, slow down, what is it?" Bonnie said trying to understand.

"Elena…Elena and her parents were in a car accident."

"We'll be right there." Bonnie and Damon jumped up.

Before Bonnie clicked off her phone, Caroline said, "Bonnie, Elena's parents didn't make it and my mom said it doesn't look too good for Elena." She could hear her crying over the phone.

Bonnie couldn't even process anything as she and Damon rushed to the hospital.

A/N: So what did you all think? I really hope you enjoyed it all. I hope you enjoyed the Bamon scenes as well. As you can see this is where Elena's parents died in the car accident, but as you can all so see it's so different. Stefan wasn't the one who saved Elena, because he wasn't there and he is human. So who did? Just a quick reminder, I will be going along with the storyline…in a way. Things may be twisted and turned every which way, but some scenes will be the same (just not in the same order) I hope you all understood that. Lol. Oh and if you are all confused about the blood disorder, as you can see it has something to do with her coming into being a witch. You will understand more as it goes on.

But thank you again for reading and I hope you enjoyed this chapter and continue reading and reviewing! Thank you all!
