Chapter Three
As Damon circled his opponent, dodging the young man's strikes effortlessly he caught glimpses of Bonnie standing by watching him. Parrying quickly he unarmed the man and made the 'kill', thrusting his safety tipped blade directly in the middle of his chest. The man called the move good and bowed before walking off the list field. As the next fighter took the man's place he and Damon went through the whole bowing ritual again and as Damon bowed to the new person he was surprised to find him to be the one Bonnie had danced with only a few moments before. "The name's Alex." The blue eyed guy told him as he bowed to Damon. "Pretty girlfriend you got there." Damon quirked a shapely brow and shook his head. "She not my girlfriend."
Even the words sounded false to his ears as he spoke them. 'Come on Salvatore, Bonnie's just a kid you got suckered into taking to this stupid thing. She's not even a friend.' He reminded himself as his rapier clashed against Alex's. The young man gave a chuckle and parried Damon's thrust to the neck. "Well then you won't mind me asking her to the bonfire tonight will you?" Narrowing his eyes he sidestepped as Alex lunged forward, attempting a shot at Damon's heart. "I don't believe we're staying that long. Sorry to disappoint you." Shrugging Alex took on a defensive pose and circled Damon. "If she wants to stay, I can always drive her home." 'I bet you could pretty boy.' Damon thought icily as he took another shot at Alex, this time at his midsection.
Damon was beginning to tire of both the fight and the discussion about Bonnie. "Then I guess you'll just have to ask her now won't you?" His tone was forced nonchalance as was the smile he gave him before sending his last shot home, straight to the spot where Alex's heart was protected. The force of the blow knocked Alex of his feet and for a moment Damon saw flashes of the past, of Stefan lying in front of him in a pool of blood. Shaking off the image he bowed to Alex, who was in the process of dusting himself off, and stalked off the list field towards Bonnie. Tossing the rapier back to it's owner he gave Bonnie a curt bow
"Well I hope you are thoroughly impressed." He said darkly as he took in her expression of enrapture. 'Was she interested in seeing me fight or pretty boy Alex?' Scolding himself he attempted to remind himself that Bonnie was just some girl he was sent to baby sit for a day while she played 'Little miss lady of the land'. Bonnie's expression fell as she heard the hint of sarcasm in Damon's voice. Turning away from him she shrugged and looked over her shoulder. "I'm going to go look at the jewelry now." Damon watched as Bonnie hurriedly walked away in the direction of the merchants. 'Wonder what her problem is. She got a good show, I thought that's what she wanted.' Shaking his head he decided to walk around a bit before catching back up with her.
End of Chapter Three
(hmmmm a little thinking back into the past and an invitation to a bonfire yet to be brought forth to Bonnie.. could get interesting.. thinking about making the next Chapter in Bonnie's perspective and rotate the perspectives in each chapter. dunno yet.)
