Chapter Thirteen
Damon had barely closed the bathroom door when he heard Bonnie shout his name. The fear was evident in her voice and he wondered what kind of trouble she had managed to get herself into. There had been to many witnesses around for him to use his inhuman speed so he'd broke into an easy run and ran in the direction of her shout. What he found when he got to her both baffled and worried him. Bonnie was tied up in a chair and surrounded by wood. He had heard Serena's challenge and had stepped up. 'Don't worry Bonnie they'll pay for this little game of there's' He had felt utter distaste for Serena as she placed her hand on his shoulder and welcomed him to her game. Nothing would have pleased him more than to break the bitch's hand but he had opted to just shrug it off, better to not make a scene.
As two of the fighters began their duel he noticed Bonnie squirming in her seat, uncomfortable with her front row seat. Stepping up to Serena he gave her a dark look. "Can't you at least untie her?" Serena simply shook her head 'no' and turned around to watch the fighters. He thought briefly about summoning Stefan to help but he pushed that thought aside. He didn't need his brother to help him with these lowly humans. He could feel Bonnie's distress from where he stood and turning he found her watching him with pleading eyes. Using his powers he sent her a comforting message. ~Everything is going to be all right Bonnie. I'm going to let them play their little game out and then when I find out who came up with the idea they'll be sorry they had ever been born.~
He watched as a little bit of the tension left her body as she got his message. 'If only her own Druid powers were stronger we could communicate during this stupid game.' Turning his attention back to the fighters he watched as one dressed in Viking garb bested the one in a simple tunic and pants. 'This is going to be a long night.' He thought unhappily as Serena motioned for him to take up arms. He was to fight a man dressed as a Spaniard while Alex fought a man in medieval French garb. Since the two fights were held at the same time to move the 'game' along Damon couldn't observe Alex's fighting style like he wanted to.
Damon's match was over in a matter of moments as was Alex's. The match that followed Damon's was one between another Spaniard and a man with a German persona. The German won the match and the four that were left were allowed to rest for a few moments. Even though Damon didn't need the rest he still took the time to survey his surroundings and observe the people. Maybe it was just a game, no further movement had been made towards Bonnie. A few moments later Damon was called to fight the German while Alex fought the Viking. These two matches took a bit longer but when they were done Damon and Alex both came out on top.
Stepping between Damon and Alex Serena held up her hand and demanded everyone's attention. "Seems like we have a couple of professionals here tonight. Well I have decided to make the final fight a bit more interesting. In my hands here I have a blindfold and a rope. Damon you will be using the blind fold while Alex here will have one arm tied behind his back." Damon opened his mouth to comment on how preposterous the idea was but Serena silenced him with her next words. "To make matters even more interesting we are going to set fire to the wood around Bonnie." There were a series of gas[s from the people around the fighters. Some shifted uncomfortably while others looked on in interest. "Are you insane?" Damon spat out finding his voice and took a step towards Bonnie. There men brandishing rather pointy pieces of wood stepped forward and blocked his way.
Serena made a small 'tsking' sound and walked to Damon's side. "You have no choice but to fight." Looking down at her Damon sneered as he took in her satisfied expression. "Nice touch with the wooden stakes." He said in a dark soft voice for her ears alone. Giving him a dazzling smile she gestured to the fighting area. "After you." Walking towards Alex he stopped in front of him. 'Maybe I can talk some sense into him.' Damon thought hopefully but the hope quickly died as he saw the blood lust in Alex's eyes. 'He actually wants this fight.'
Shaking his head Damon extended his hand towards him. "Come on Alex, this is a ridiculous form of entertainment. Let me get Bonnie and take her home." Damon was surprised when Alex laughed in his face. "You're just afraid that you won't be able to beat me this time with the blindfold." The tone of his voice was as irritating as the sound of nails scraping across a chalkboard. 'Man this guy really knows how to get on my nerves.' Taking a rapier from a nearby stand be bowed to Alex and said in a cold voice, "You want to dance? Let's dance."
End of Chapter Twelve: Whoo hooo.. my updating wasn't so far apart this time eh? As always comments are welcomed be they negative or positive. Excuse any typos.. some stuff spell check just won't get. Can you believe Damon has to be blindfolded?. geez the nerve of that Serena! ~grin~.
