Chapter Sixteen
Bonnie sat up and grabbed her arm. Hissing softly at the pain she released her arm and stared at her blood stained hand. It might have been just a scratch but it hurt like hell. Turning her attention to Serena she waited for an answer. Serena's laughter was the last thing she expected to hear, and it sent a cold shiver down her spine. "Who am I?" Serena asked as she began to walk in a circle around them. Bonnie looked at the other people around them and couldn't believe what she saw. They were all staring into space, unanimated, barely breathing. 'What's wrong with them? Why are they just standing there?!' Looking back to Serena Bonnie's eyes followed her as she walked around them.
Once more her eyes were drawn to the necklace around her neck. 'Could that be her source of power?' Further contemplation on the necklace was halted by Serena's next words. "You probably don't know me personally, seeing as how I was just a little girl but you became well acquainted with my mother, well the five minutes or so you allowed her to live." Bonnie looked up at Damon and watched as realization began to dawn in his eyes. 'He killed her mother?' Bonnie reminded herself that Damon had changed in the past year, that he was a different man. Bonnie noticed the tightness in his jaw and his clinched fist. "You're mother?" Serena made a little groan of disappointment. "Don't tell me you don't remember my mother. I believe is was early 80's and you came across a woman who's car had stranded her and her five year old daughter."
Bonnie watched as Damon paled slightly but kept his eyes on the circling Serena. "Yes I remember. It had been a few days since I had last fed when I spotted your mother's car on the road." Standing Bonnie stepped closer to Damon. "Stay where you are Bonnie. I'll get to you in a moment, wait you're turn." Serena's promise stopped her in her tracks and looking in her direction she caught Serena watching her with narrowed eyes. "Leave her out of this." Damon stated darkly as he stepped off an unconscious Alex. "I was a different person then." He told her but frowned as Serena sneered. "You were a monster then and still are. You didn't give my mother a chance." The venom in her voice and the anger that flashed in her eyes were frightening.
"You're wrong." Bonnie said softly bringing Serena's attention back to her. "What?" Serena snapped shaking her head. "I said you're wrong." Bonnie stated louder stepping closer to Damon. "Damon has changed, he's no longer the man that killed your mother and if you can't see that then you're a fool." The statement seemed to anger Serena even more and stepping forward she grabbed Bonnie by her hair. Bonnie caught a glimmer of silver out of the corner of her eye and tensed as she felt the sharp tip of a dagger touch her throat. Damon made a move forward but Serena shot a warning glance at him. "Step any closer Damon and you're little girlfriend is dead. Don't try to deny the feelings you have for her, I've seen the way you've looked at her. I should just kill her anyways. You took away the most important person in my life, I should do you the same favor."
Bonnie searched his face for any sign of emotion and noticed a slight twitch in his right jaw. "Don't listen to her Damon. Just get out of here. Get the others." Bonnie told him, her voice shaky with fright. Serena tugged harder at Bonnie's hair and the tip of the dagger pierced her flesh, drawing a drop of blood, which trickled down her throat and stained the collar of her white chemise. She heard Damon growl deep in his throat but he didn't move forward. "Such loyalty wasted on a freak of nature." Serena said in a sickening sweet voice.
End Chapter 17: Another boo boo for Bonnie and a threat from Serena.. this isn't Bonnie's idea of a good birthday at all huh folks? Sorry if the chapters are short but I'm putting all this in different perspectives, both Damon and Bonnie's.
