Chapter Twelve
Bonnie pulled against the bindings at her ankles and wrists but they gave no sign of loosening. She had intended to go back out and give Damon a piece of her mind when she was done using the bathroom but a knock at the back bathroom door had caught her attention. Opening the door she had stuck her head out to look and her world had become dark, someone had pulled something over her head. She'd been thrown across someone's shoulders and told to keep quiet. Cold dread had passed through her like water and she was to scared to make a sound anyways.
Suddenly she was placed on her feet and held up right as the cover was taken off her head. Looking around she saw some of the people from the festival standing around all smiling at her. 'Oh god they're some type of weird cult.' Closing her eyes she took in a deep breath and shouted. "Damon!" The name had barely left her when she was gagged and pushed into a chair and tied down. The crowd around her parted and Serena stepped forward smiling with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. 'I knew there was something off about her.' Glaring at the other red headed girl Bonnie pulled against the ropes that held her to the chair but the ropes held fast. 'Oh when I get out of here you are going to be sooo sorry.' Several foul names to call Serena passed through her mind and she longed to shout them at her. "Who will fight for this girls life?" Serena asked the group looking around, a shapely brow arched.
Several of the guys stepped forward and Bonnie saw that Alex was one of them. 'What is going on here?' She was puzzled, was it a game or was it something far worse? "I'll fight for her life." Alex said, a smile played across his face and his were eyes full of determination. 'This has got to be a game right?' Her doubts grew more as wood was piled around her and an outside torch was placed dangerously close to her. 'Oh my god they're going to burn me alive for their cheap amusement!' Once again she tried to pull at the ropes in an attempt to get as far away as the torch as she possibly could. Serena stepped closer to her and bent down, her breath was a whisper against Bonnie's ear. "No need squirming Bonnie, you're not going to get free." Stepping back she looked down at Bonnie and she could tell that Serena was enjoying this little game.
'What did I ever do to you?' Bonnie's eyes questioned her but the girl simply flipped her hair over her shoulders and turned away. "Will anyone else fight for this girl's life?" She walked in front of the volunteers counting them one by one. There were seven all together. Suddenly there was a whispering of voices as another person stepped into the circle. "I will fight for her life." At the sound of Damon's voice Bonnie whipped her face around to look at him, relief welling up inside of her. 'Whoo hoo the calvary hath arrived.' At the end of the line Alex tensed as a scowled took the place of his smile.
"Well well, so you did decide to join our little party." Serena's voice was a soft purr as she walked to Damon's side and placed a hand on his shoulder. Bonnie watched as Damon shrugged her hand off and gave the girl a dark look. 'Don't you know you don't touch Damon unless he wants you too?' If she was able to smirk Bonnie would have but the gag prevented it. Glancing from Damon to Bonnie Serena smiled and stepped away. "The rules are fairly simple. Each one of you will fight against each other and the losers of each fight will be eliminated from the 'contest.' Who wants to go first?" A couple of guys stepped forward and Bonnie had the feeling that both Damon and Alex would probably be the last to fight each other.
End of Chapter 12: Is it a game or is Bonnie's life really at stake? Is Serena to be trusted or does she have a hidden motive? As always comments are welcomed and thanks to all that have commented so far.
