He stayed on the phone with Alaric for a good hour, discussing Elena being in a coma still and her being still in that coffin and what it could mean to the possibilities of Bonnie being alive. Both he and Alaric agreed that the linking spell was real and that Kai had meant what he said when he linked the two, and that Elena would wake up the very minute that Bonnie had died. So, the fact that Elena was still in that coffin and remained in a coma, had the potential of being real significant for them and every for Bonnie.
Alaric calling him and telling him such mind blowing news did have Damon curious, and feeling slight hope that his witch could actually be alive and wasn't dead after all. But, he wanted to look into it more, before he came to the conclusion that she was really alive, before he gave himself that hope, just to be crushed and heartbroken again to know that Bonnie was really dead and that something had went wrong for Elena to still be in a coma.
Anyone that knew about his relationship with Elena before, would be taken aback by the fact that Damon was actually relieved that Elena was still in a coma. Some thought that he would be disappointed to learn such a thing and the old Damon would have been. No one could doubt that he still cared about Elena and considered her important to him. Of course he would prefer that she be able to wake up from her coma one day.
He just refused for it to be at the expense of Bonnie's life, he didn't want Bonnie to have to die in order for Elena to come back and if Bonnie dying was the only option in order for that to happen, then he rather Elena remain in a coma. If there was anyway for Elena to wake up, while it guaranteed that Bonnie got to live then Damon would take it in a heartbeat. Only if having Elena back meant that Bonnie would still be around alive and strong. But, the choice right now was between Elena's coma and Bonnie's death and he was going to choose for Elena to remain in a coma every time.
He was relieved about Elena being in a coma and what it could mean for Bonnie's life. And now they went from Bonnie being lost and dead, to her maybe, just maybe being alive. All because after the memorial service that was held for Bonnie, Alaric got the notion to go to New York and check up on Elena when no one else thought to do so. Then Alaric opened that coffin and saw Elena still in there, and got the instinct that Bonnie could still be alive.
Damon had to admit that Alaric gave a lot of valid reasons for why his theory could be right. And that he gained a small sunray of hope from that. But, he needed to be one hundred percent sure that Bonnie was alive, before he pursued anything and that he needed a lot of questions answered and a lot of things cleaned up, before he found out what was really going on.
His mind was swimming with thoughts and feelings and if he was going to figure this all out, he was going to need as much input and help as he could get. So, he ran what he had just been talking about towards Stefan and Caroline, glad that they had decided to stay for support a little longer before they decided to fly back to Virginia. And now them staying to help Damon cope with the death of Bonnie, could turn into them helping him finding out if Bonnie was alive or not.
Both Stefan and Caroline were shocked and taken aback as Damon had told them this theory.
"Are you sure that Elena is still in that coffin?" Caroline questioned.
"Ric, saw her with his own two eyes and I believe him." Damon confirmed.
"Then this is huge." Stefan pointed out.
"It's more than huge, if Elena isn't awake then the link wasn't broken like it was suppose to have been when Bonnie died." Caroline agreed.
Damon spoke. "Exactly, the meaning behind this could be very serious and it can mean something about Bonnie not having died, but we all need to make sure that it means something, before we jump into this thing."
Caroline gestured widely. "We're all hoping that this means that Bob could actually be be living, but where do we start to find out."
Stefan said. "The first place we would have to start is the night of the car crash, where Bonnie was said to have died."
"Right." Caroline looked over at Damon. "I know that it maybe harsh to go over those memories again of that night, but we need for you to if we are going to find out what's happening here."
"It is difficult to go over." Damon nodded. "But, I'll do that, if it means that we figure all of this out for Bonnie's sake. I'll try to remember as much as I can."
Stefan and Caroline waited for him to tell them what he remembered about that night.
Damon rubbed at his forehead. He went over how the police came and told him about the car accident and that Bonnie had died in it and how he had compelled them to take them to where she was, which was at the scene of the accident.
"...Her car was wrecked,d it had been completely caught up in flames, although they had put the fire out by the time that I have gotten there." Damon finished.
"And you saw a body there." Stefan asked soberly.
"Yes, I saw a body, it was in that burnt out shell of her car." Damon pressed his lips together in a grim line.
Caroline added in. "This is going to sound morbid, but you couldn't actually tell that it was Bonnie right, I mean you couldn't physically I.D. her because that body was burnt to a crisp almost."
Damon paused. "No, I couldn't actually make out any features that would make me know right from the start that it was her. The body was beyond recognition for that. But, it was female and it didn't appear to be pregnant. I think that I and the cops just assumed that it was her, because the car was registered to Bonnie. But it corpse was burned and there was never a DNA test to confirm that it was her. But, Rick did have a theory on that, that I now starting to lean towards."
Stefan wanted to know. "And what would that be?"
Damon glanced towards his brother. "That the corpse that I saw wasn't actually Bonnie's, that it belonged to another woman and that was really the one who died in the car crash."
"Wait, so how did another woman, who also happened to be pregnant get a hold of Bonnie's car?" Caroline frowned.
"I don't know, maybe she stole it." Damon shrug. "But, it that body is not Bonnie's, yet somehow ended up in her car, then the only explanation is that the body in the car really belonged to someone else."
"If the car was stolen somehow, then Bonnie didn't report it." Stefan commented.
Caroline stated. "What if she wasn't able to report stolen?"
Both brothers looked at the blonde vampire.
Sighing, Caroline went on. "If Bonnie was able to then she should have reported her car stolen or at least let us or someone know that someone else had gotten their hands on her car. Yet there has been nothing but silence from her and if she really is alive, we haven't heard anything from her."
Stefan furrowed his brow. "We haven't, not for the two weeks ago that this car crash happened, so if she's not dead then we would have heard from her by now."
"She would have contacted me by now, to let me know that she was okay and breathing and that I wouldn't have to worry. And that it she wasn't the one hurt in that car crash that happened. Somehow if she was willing, Bonnie wouldn't have let us go this long worrying about her or thinking that she was dead." Damon paced.
"Then even if she is still alive, then something could be wrong still and holding her back from contacting or getting a hold of us. What if she got her car stolen and is hurt somewhere?" Caroline asked concerned.
"If she would be hurt, then we definitely have to find her and find her soon, especially if she is seriously hurt." Damon grumbled.
Stefan mentioned. "The best way that we can find out where she is, is to track down the people who last saw her on that night and that day."
Damon nodded. "That would be a great place to start."
Caroline spoke up. "But if she's missing…...even if it turned out that she really did die, we have to follow up on any clues that Bon may be alive, so matter where it leads us to."
"Is there is a lead, no matter how small we have to follow up on it, for Bonnie and for the sake of the baby that she is carrying." Damon said with some feeling. "We have to pursue this, even if it leads to a dead end. At least we know that we tried and there will be no 'what if's."
"If she is alive, we will know the truth sooner rather than later, we hope." Stefan added.
"My witch could be out there somewhere, needing our help. And we're going to need as much help as we can get putting together the pieces in finding out if she is alive." Damon finished.
By the time that his conversation with Stefan and Caroline ended, Damon was a little more convinced that his fiancee wasn't dead after all. He had hope, a renewed sense of hope and he was going to hold onto that hope until it was confirmed that she was indeed dead.
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
He knew that Bonnie could be alive, but he didn't know where to start exactly to find out where she was, if she was hurt or missing. All he knew that if she was still breathing, that she wasn't willing staying away and that something had prevented her from returning home. This worried him, even in his grand relief in knowing that there was a chance that she wasn't really dead.
Damon wanted to make sure that anyone that was willing to help him figure out the truth of the situation was brought in to help. For Bonnie's sake he was willing to get everyone that he could in on this.
That was why he called Trevor and Bailey over, who had been very saddened by Bonnie's death and who had attended her service to pay their respects.
Trevor started. "So, Bonnie could be alive? That's great news for today!"
Bailey agreed. "It's a miracle if true."
"It's just a theory, we aren't one hundred percent sure on yet." Damon muttered.
"Well, it's an interesting theory, one that should be followed up on if there is a even the slightest hunch that Bonnie is really alive." Trevor stated.
"That's why I called you over, to see if you can do anything to help us and her out with this situation." Damon told the two.
"Of course, if she is alive, then we'll definitely assist you in finding out the truth." Trevor said.
Bailey wondered. "So, what clues are you looking at so far? Perhaps we could help there."
Damon thought about it. "The best way that we could figure out to start was on the night of the car accident and seeing if we could track down the people or persons who may have last spotted Bonnie before whatever happened."
Trevor commented. "We do know that there was a car crash of some kind, right?"
Damon returned. "Right, and that it at least involved Bonnie's car, even if she wasn't actually the person who ended up in the car when the accident happened."
Trevor pointed out. "Then the drunk driver maybe the best person to go to, in order to piece together what actually happened. Did someone else witness the accident happen?"
"No, as far as I know, no one besides the people actually involved in the car crash witnessed it or knew what happened. There was a person who came up on the car crash after it had already occurred, they saw the wreck and then called the police." Damon shook his head.
"Then the drunk driver who caused the accident maybe the first place that we have to look to, in order to set us off in the direction that we need to go." Bailey said.
"He doesn't remember much of that night and his memory is hazy. I confronted him and the one thing that he kept insisting on is that he really didn't remember what happened or causing the accident itself. I just put it off on him being drunk and having so much alcohol that it impacted his memory." Damon stated about Dave Hill.
Trevor went. "Him having a ton of drink, would make it a common reason why he would have a hard time remembering what happened that night, especially getting into a wreck and getting a head injury from it."
Damon rubbed his chin. "So, with him remembering so little of that night, can he really help us in figuring out what we need to know?"
Bailey said. "There could be a way around that."
"That's right, maybe you could find away around that memory thing." Trevor directed at his girlfriend.
"What are you hinting at?" Damon looked back and forth between the two.
Trevor replied. "Bailey does hypnosis from time to time."
Bailey confirmed. "I do, it's hypnosis that I have been doing for a few years. Mostly it's to have people access memories that they think are lost to them. I try to get people to remember things that they can't remember on their own."
Damon was curious. "And does it work?
Bailey shrugged. "It's depends on the person and have difficult the memory is to get in their minds. But, them being hypnotized can reach into their subconscious and gain memories that they didn't even realize were there."
"And if this drunk driver has something in his subconscious about that night, then I'm sure that, that memory could be dug out." Trevor suggested.
"Do you really think that you could try that?" Damon gestured towards Bailey.
"Yeah, I will try hypnosis, Just let me know where I can find that drunk driver." Bailey commented.
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
That drunk driver, Dave Hill was still in big legal trouble for what he had did or what everyone thought that he had did. He faced an uphill battle with the court system and faced serious prison time for killing a woman and her unborn child.
But, a judge had let him out on bail, but had given Dave strict orders that he wasn't allowed to leave town, since he was charged in the death of Bonnie Bennett. Dave had to stay in town and was nearly under house arrest, until his next court appearance, that was scheduled for the following month.
That is where Bailey found him on the following day, the day after she agreed to Damon that she was try and use her hypnosis skills to see if she could dig up any helpful memories from Dave. After they found out that Dave had made bail, they got his address and Bailey went over to his house.
She approached the door and rang on his doorbell. Dave Hill opened up the door and he looked like a man that had lost a couple of pounds, Bailey guessed that the stress of facing prison time was getting to the man.
Dave's eyes scanned over her. "May I help you?"
Bailey greeted. "Dave Hill?"
Dave returned. "Yes, that's me? Is there something that you need?"
Bailey let him know. "I'm here about your case, the one where you are up for in killing a pregnant woman drunk driving."
"I don't think that, that is something that I should be discussing with a stranger. My lawyer would advise me not to speak to you about it." Dave's expression fell.'
"And your lawyer says that because they think that it's a help to you, but I know that I can be of a bigger help to you." Bailey said.
"How? I'm in pretty deep shit. I guess I deserve to be, if I really did kill that poor woman. Even though I didn't mean to…..It's been eating me up inside and I don't know what to do about it." Dave stopped when he realized that he was ranting.
The dude actually did seem to feel remorse or guilt over the accident that he caused. "I understand."
Dave shifted on his feet. "I probably shouldn't be telling you this, but I'm thinking about pleading guilty, just to avoid a trial and to get my sentencing over with."
Bailey shook her head. "No, you shouldn't plead guilty."
"Why not? If I actually killed someone?" Dave looked like he was caught between a rock and a hard place.
"I'm actually here to help you, Dave." Bailey told him.
"You are?" Dave blinked.
Bailey went on. "Yes, I am. There maybe a chance that you actually didn't kill the woman the cops said that you killed in that car wreck."
Dave was surprised. "But. how would that be possible?"
"It's possible, I'm just here to make sure that it is." Bailey commented.
"I mean…..that would turn out to be wonderful news, if I really didn't kill that woman and her baby, but how do you know that I really didn't kill her?" Dave sounded unsure.
"That's why I am here to help you figure that out. If you let me help you then your name can be legally cleared if it's found out that Bonnie Bennett didn't die in that car accident. You would no longer face charges for her homicide and you would no longer face prison time, if it's discovered that the cops made a mistake. You would also bring nice hope to all of those that care about her." Bailey directed.
"Well, to find out that I really didn't kill her would be a great relief to be, but it would be an even greater one to all those that cared about her." Dave mumbled.
Bailey insisted. "Then let me help you, both clear your name and help me find out if my friend could really be alive."
After a moment of hesitation Dave went. "Oh, alright, I'll let you help us all."
Bailey requested. "Please, I need to come in, in order to assist you."
"Then come in." Dave gestured.
Bailey entered into his home.
Dave turned to her. "How are you going to help me."
"I'm going to have to hypnotize you." Bailey answered.
"Hypnotize?" Dave nearly laughed. "Are you serious."
"Very serious." Bailey replied.
Dave rubbed at his head. "How would that help?"
Bailey said to him. "You don't remember much about what happened on the night of the car wreck?"
Dave let out a breath. "No, I don't…...even when I try my hardest to remember."
Bailey explained. "By hypnotizing you I can help you recall those memories that you may have lost."
"Alright, I guess I'm willing to give that a try at this point." Dave said.
"Then have a seat somewhere and make yourself comfortable." Bailey commanded.
So, Dave took a seat and Bailey took a seat across from him.
"What do I do?" Dave wondered.
"Just look into my eyes and follow my directions." Bailey let him know.
Dave did as she told him and Bailey went over the routine and soon he was under her hypnosis.
"Now, Dave?" She started.
"Yes?" Dave responded back.
"I'm going to need you to think back to the night of that accident." Bailey ordered.
Dave's eyes were slightly dazed from hypnotized. "I see, I'm thinking back to that night."
Bailey pushed. "Tell me whatever you can think of."
With her help, Dave began to trace and pick up memories of that night that he wasn't able to before.
He remembered sitting at a table, at a Italian restaurant and how he was enjoying a plate of pasta and meatballs for a late dinner, with a glass of wine. He was going to eat and then go home and kick back and see what sports he could catch on TV.
He was enjoying his dinner alone and slowly sipping on his glass of wine. When suddenly a man that he didn't know came by the table and sat next to him.
Dave gave the man a perplexed gaze as he thought that it was strange that this man decided to sit with him all of a sudden.
But, even though he thought it was strange, Dave decided not to be rude about it. "Uh, sir?"
"That looks like a fine meal that you are having there.' The man said in a British accent,
"It is, it's very good." Dave returned politely.
"And the wine to go along with it." The man added.
All that Dave said was. "Yeah."
"Good enough for you to have another glass of wine after you are done with that one and then another." The man suggested.
Dave chuckled. "Nah, I think that I'm good with this one glass, I have to drive after I leave here and I don't want to have too much wine."
But, Dave found the man looking into his eyes and the man quietly told him. "You'll have some more wine and some more and you'll keep drinking until I tell you to stop."
He felt this sensation come over him and the overwhelming urge to do what this man had told him to do. Even though deep down he didn't want more than one glass of wine, Dave found himself drinking another and than another. Glass after glass, as if he was doing more what the man wanted, than what he was doing on his own.
So, even if there was a big part of him who wanted to stop drinking, he kept going. Until he started to feel tipsy and woozy from all of the wine that he was having. And he didn't stop drinking until the man told him to stop. By that time Dave was stumbling around and his vision was blurry.
"You're in no condition to drive." The man with the British accent sounded amused at Dave's state. "Why don't I drive for you."
The next thing that Dave knew he was sitting in the passenger's seat of his car, feeling drunk and not feeling very well, as all of the wine had him dizzy and nauseous. Then this man was suddenly driving over the speed limit, which had Dave on edge and worried that they were going to crash.
"This man was driving like a lunatic, I thought that he was going to kill us for a second." Dave told Bailey in his daze of remembering back on that night.
"Tell me more." Bailey insisted.
So Dave flashbacked to more.
He remembered the man swerving into the other lane and almost running in the driver coming from the opposite direction and how he had complained that this man had almost ran into and killed the other driver. Then this man turned his car around and stopped and ordered him to stay in the car.
Dave remembered the man getting out and then proceeding to the other car. He watched through the headlights as this man approached the car in front of them and he could see a pregnant woman from the other car, then the man took something and knocked this pregnant woman out. And how this had bothered and alarmed Dave.
Dave leaned forward and told Bailey. "Wait, there was a pregnant woman."
Bailey was alerted, she knew that this pregnant woman could only have been Bonnie. "There was? Did you see what happened to her?"
Dave watched as this man took the now unconscious pregnant woman into his arms and how an SUV have driven up, along with a truck and how he saw this man interact with two other men, before he placed this pregnant woman into the SUV.
Dave knew that they were kidnapping her and he wanted to help, he something keep him frozen to that passenger's seat. Then the SUV had driven off with the woman. And he knew that something wasn't right, but felt helpless to do anything about it. But, he realize now that the pregnant woman was the same one that was have said to have died in the car accident.
Bailey saw Dave's eyes widened. "What is it?"
"That pregnant lady, the one that the cops said that I killed in the accident, I think that you're right and I don't think that she died after all." Dave was shocked.
"You saw her?" Bailey questioned.
"I can see it now, when I saw her, her car wasn't wrecked. That man who told me to drink, he knocked her out and I think that they kidnapped her or something." Dave stated.
Bailey looked at him. "Who kidnapped her?"
Dave shook his head. "I don't know who they are. But, the man who was telling me to do all of these things and the one who almost hit the car that the pregnant woman was driving in, I guess that she could have been Bonnie Bennett, he had her taken away and they drove off with her and he was talking to this man."
"You're helping me out a lot, Dave, do you remember anymore details?" Bailey questioned.
"Um, I know that I wanted to stop them, but I couldn't because the guy had told me to stay in the car. It's weird, it's like he had some sort of control over me. I can't describe it and it sounds kind of crazy. But, he would just look into my eyes and tell me to do something and I would just do it because he told me to, like how he had told me to keep drinking, even though I only wanted one glass of wine. And I just did it and it was weird." Dave licked his lips.
Being a werewolf and being aware of the Supernatural world, Bailey thought that what Dave was describing was being compelled by a vampire, while having no idea that he was being compelled by a vampire.
"I should have done something to stop them from taking that lady." Dave shook his head.
"That's fine Dave, it's not your fault, you know that as weird as it sounds to you, you may have been mind controlled in a way." Bailey commented.
Dave looked confused at that thought but added. "Then that guy made he get out of the car and he and that other guy, they roughed me up a bit, something about making it look like I had been thrown from the car when I actually hadn't been. That's mostly what I can remember and then I wake up in the hospital and they tell me that I was in a car crash."
Bailey directed. "You just gave me a ton of information that are really going to help matters."
Dave returned. "I have?"
Bailey confirmed. "I have."
"I saw that pregnant woman alive on that night." Dave let out a long breath. "I don't think that I killed her, I don't think that I did."
"No, Dave it appears that you didn't kill Bonnie Bennett afterall." Bailey said. "Now this guy that was telling you to do all of these things, can you describe him for me?"
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
Once she left Dave's house, Bailey went immediately over to Damon's, where everyone had gathered around and was waiting for her to return. She told them and described everything that she had learned from Dave.
"...Dave talked about some man with a British accent, a man that had dark hair, and brown eyes and whose head was kind of big." Bailey finished.
Damon. Stefan, and Caroline all looked at each other and came up with the same conclusion, all three of them said at the exact same time. "Enzo!"
"This Enzo, he is a vampire?" Bailey asked.
"He's a vampire." Stefan answered.
"That explains what happened with Dave on that night then, Enzo had compelled him for his advantage." Bailey mentioned.
"And who, by the way is Enzo?" Trevor wanted to know.
Caroline sighed. "Someone that who we thought was in Bonnie's past, he's her ex."
Trevor went. "Oh."
Stefan pointed out. "So, Enzo compelled Dave Hill on the night of the accident."
Damon balled up a fist. "That Son of a Bitch, wanted to make it look like Dave Hill had gotten drunk and ran into Bonnie's car. He framed him and set him up."
Bailey nodded. "It appears to be that way, Dave said that Enso and this other guy went as far as to rough him up, so that it would look like to the cops that he had really been in an accident."
"Then, Enzo beats Dave Hill up and compels him just enough to make him believe that he could have been responsible for Bonnie's death." Damon put together.
"Expect for the fact that we know now that Bonnie never really died." Caroline put in.
"Right, he, Enzo just wanted to make it look like she did." Stefan added.
Trevor arched both brows. "This guy, Enzo went through all of this to basically fake Bonnie's death?"
Damon grumbled. "Exactly, he wanted me and all of us to believe that she had actually died and it had worked for a while."
Trevor said. "And he did all of that because he is some bitter Ex?"
"Well, Trev, Dave was able to remember that Enzo got out of his car and apparently knocked Bonnie out, and then an SUV took off somewhere with her. So, he must have wanted to use the car crash to put Damon and the cops off of what he was really intending to do." Bailey directed.
"And that was to kidnap and take Bonnie, without be catching onto him and going after her to get her back." Damon was getting angry towards the British vampire.
"He knew that Damon wouldn't stop until he found Bonnie and that the only way that his plan in taking her wouldn't be interfered with, is if we thought that she was dead. He set up this elaborate plan to make us believe that she was dead, because he knew that we would stop at nothing to find her, if we knew that she was kidnapped but alive. He knew that this was especially the case with Damon, that's why he went out of his way to make it look like Bonnie had died." Stefan stated.
"Damn right, that bastard knows that I would have tried to find Bonnie and that it wouldn't have taken me long to get her back." Damon muttered.
"Sounds like this guy didn't take Bonnie breaking up with him too well, but kidnapping her and making everyone that cared for her thinking that she was dead, that's beyond bitter Ex." Trevor said.
Damon shook his head. "He confronted us a while ago, Bonnie and I, right after we got engaged. Enzo wasn't too happy about us being together and he let Bonnie and I know that. His feelings were hurt and his damn ego was bruised. But, I never thought that he would take things this far and that he at least would care enough about Bonnie to put her in harm's way."
Caroline was just as angry towards the British vampire. "Well, Bon never set out to hurt him. Maybe she did have feelings for Damon, while she was with him. But, she honestly gave Enzo her all and tried her best to love him with what she had in her. She was always faithful to him while she was dating him and he took it tough when they broke it off, but that's too bad on his part. Because she did the right thing for her in breaking up with him. And it's bullshit that he would do this and fake her death,"
Damon added. "Plus, not that's it's any of his business, but she wanted a while after their break up before her and I got together. He has no right to take away her choice and forcing her to be around him."
Stefan's expression was broody and directed at Enzo. "This is the most selfish thing that he could do towards Bonnie."
"He did this all for himself, that's for damn sure." Damon agreed.
"I can completely imagine why she broke up with him, the guy sounds like a complete jerk." Bailey mentioned.
"All of this time and these days that we have spent mourning her and he's had her this whole time." Damon was furious.
"I knew that Bonnie if she was alive and able to, that she would try to find a way to contact us and that she would never stay willingly missing on her own. The reason why she hasn't been able to is because Enzo has her and he must be preventing her from doing so." Caroline huffed.
Damon gestured. "That asshole is holding her against her will, I know that she would come back to me if she could."
Stefan assured. "At least we know the truth now, we know that Enzo really has her and now we can do something about that."
The eldest Salvatore said. "Yeah his gig is up and he doesn't even know it yet?"
"We know that he worked with one or two men that night in taking Bonnie, do we know what these men look like?" Stefan wondered.
"I don't know that Dave got a close enough look to know what they really looked like." Bailey went.
"At least we know where to start, find out who these men are that Enzo got into contact with and we find Bonnie." Stefan pointed out.
Damon had a determined expression on his face. "Once we do, I'm going to make both them and especially Enzo pay in taking Bonnie away."
Trevor offered. "I know a lot of locals hangouts, bars and such. I could ask around and see if anyone recognizes if Enzo was around recently or if he talked to anyone. Maybe we can prove that he was hanging out with one of these men who helped them kidnap Bonnie."
"I appreciate that." Damon commented.
"I'll get right on that then." Trevor acknowledged.
"I'm going to find the witch and then, I'm going to make sure that Enzo Saint John is a dead man." Damon gritted his teeth.
Caroline folded her arms over her chest. "Get in line, because I want to kill him too for this."
Stefan agreed. "I think that it's safe to say that we all want a piece of Enzo right now."
And just like that Damon had felt like the whole weight of the world had been lifted off of his shoulders. The world that he thought was shattered in learning of Bonnie's death had been pieced back together, like it was brand new. And in a way he did feel like he had a brand new lease on life. The woman that he loved, his love of his life and his unborn baby was still alive. He no longer felt that heartbreaking, crushing blow of thinking that he had lost them.
All of his dreams were still intact, the dream of living the rest of his life with Bonnie. The dream of being a father to her child, and raising their child together as a happy family. Watching her give birth to their baby and then afterwards getting married to her and making her his wife, were all still intact.
Learning that Bonnie was alive, filled him energy, he regained a sense of purpose, ambition, hope, and of life. Emotionally he felt uplifted in a way that he hadn't sense he thought that she has died. She was alive and he was going to get a chance to see her again.
On the other hand, he was filled with fury and rage directed at Enzo. The man that had tricked him into believing that he had lost his fiancee and his unborn child. And how he could do something so heartless, all so that he could kidnap Bonnie. Damon saw Enzo's actions as cowardly. And he was holding Bonnie against her will and that was a major problem for Damon. It was always going to be a major problem anytime someone decided to step over that line and mess with the woman that he loved.
And Enzo had crossed that line, he had more than crossed that line. Enzo thought that he would be able to keep Damon and the woman that he loved apart and he was highly mistaken. The British vampire may not have known it yet that he was discovered and that he was going to learn a hard lesson in going after Bonnie Bennett. Damon was going to confront his former friend and make him pay for faking Bonnie's death and kidnapping her. Damon was going to find out where Bonnie was and reunite with her and if Enzo tried to stand in his way then he would kill the bastard. Either way Damon Salvatore was determined to let nothing stand in his way of getting Bonnie back.

Bonnie had no more patience left inside of her. The stress of the situation was making it harder to sleep for her and she was desperate to try and find a way to get out and emotionally she was very drained, but still tried to remain focused and strong at the same time.
Her thin patience was showing as she had to deal with that strange, crazy woman that Enzo hired to look after her in Natalie.
Natalie had just come in to serve her some lunch and Bonnie was giving the woman a dirty look.
"I don't understand, why won't you help me out here. I told you that I can promise that you wouldn't get hurt, if you change your mind in help me." Bonnie told the woman.
"For the last time, I can't do that, now please eat your lunch." Natalie returned in a cheerful tone.
That tone worked Bonnie's last nerve. "I'm not hungry right now and I had breakfast."
"Come on, you have to eat for your baby." Natalie ordered.
"I'm fine for now, my baby is fine. I don't feel like eating." Bonnie grumped.
"I'm just trying to watch out for you and your baby." Natalie chimed.
Bonnie sneered. "Please, you don't give a damn about my baby and especially don't give a damn about me."
Natalie sighed. "Of course I do, that's why I'm going to watch over your child and raise it as my own once you give birth to it."
Bonnie warned. "You're not going to place your hands on my child or come anywhere near him or her."
"But, I will. I'll adopt it, because Enzo says that you'll be too busy living a life with him in order to be a mother to that baby…" Natalie reached for Bonnie's pregnant stomach.
But, before she could even get to her stomach, Bonnie reached out and slapped Natalie hard enough for the sound to echo around the room. "Listen to me you winch, I don't care what kind of deal that you made with Enzo, but you're not going to take my baby away from me, Even if Enzo manages to get me overseas, I will still find a way to track you down. No matter how long it takes me to get away from him, I'll do it then I'll find you and kill you for taking my baby away from me." Bonnie snapped out.
Natalie held onto her stinging cheek, looking at Bonnie with shocked eyes.
Bonnie glared at the woman, ready to slap her again.
Just then Enzo came into the room. "What's going on ladies?"
"She hit me." Natalie whined.
"Damn right I did, when she keeps mentioning taking my child." Bonnie spat.
Enzo saw the red welp developing on Natalie's cheek. "Geez, why don't you go and put some ice on that."
Saying nothing else, Natalie went to do what he told her.
In the room alone with him, Bonnie switched her glare towards Enzo.
"Wow, I have to say that I'm impressed by the fight that you still have left in you." Enzo directed.
"Yeah, I have plenty of fight, so don't expect me to give up or give in to you." Bonnie returned.
"I wish not to see you so upset Bonnie, because I do love you." Enzo let out a breath.
"No, stop trying to excuse this all by saying that you love me, this isn't love what you are feeling is more like obsession." Bonnie retorted.
Enzo approached her. "You're wrong, and you'll see why I give you a chance to regain the love that you once had for me."
Bonnie frantically shook her head. "I'll never feel anything for you again. Just accept that I'll love only Damon from now on and that it will always be Damon, he's the only man for me you asshole."
"All I want is to go over to Europe with you and to love you." Enzo softly told her.
She just aimed more daggers at him.
Enzo leaned into her. "Give me a chance and I can give you the most beautiful life in the world."
However, Bonnie objected to this and there was no bigger proof, than when she reached for the fork that had been brought in with her lunch. Taking the fork she on a desperate attempt, plunged the sharp end of the fork as hard as she could into Enzo's shoulder.
Enzo hissed out in pain and stumbled back.
That was when Bonnie saw her opening for an escape, she pushed passed Enzo and ran towards the door that he happened to leave unlocked since he had entered into the room.
A metal fork in the shoulder was painful, but the harm that it done was limited due to the fact that it's target was a vampire. Enzo pulled the fork out of his shoulder. "Get back here." He yelled after her.
"No." Bonnie screamed back, reaching the exit of the door.
Angered that she had stabbed him with the fork and was now trying to escape, Enzo rushed over and use his vampire speed to get over to where she was. Quickly he grabbed onto her and pulled her back away from the door and shut it to prevent her from escaping.
Bonnie struggled to try and get out of his grip.
"That was a very foolish move." Enzo yelled in her face enraged.
"Get your fucking hands off of me." Bonnie was beyond irritated and filled with anger.
"I try to be a generous man and keep you taken care of and well fed and this is how you repay me?" Enzo has his face just inches away from hers.
Bonnie had fire in her eyes. "I hate you."
"You know that you are pregnant, do not push me and don't not try to attack me again. I'm letting you give birth to that spawn inside of you, but if you attack me again I can't guarantee it's safety and if that thing gets hurt then it's on you." Enzo threatened.
"I want you dead, I hope that you die." Bonnie said to him viciously.
"That's too bad, because I'm not going anywhere." Enzo pressed himself up against her in a threatening manner.
Bonnie told him with tears of anger in her eyes. "Get the hell away from me."
Enzo barely held onto his temper. "The more that you fight me the harder that you are making it on yourself." Stepping back away from her, he slammed the door and locked her inside.
She yelled after him in frustration.

After a few hours of asking around in all of the local places, Trevor was able to find a bartender who recognized Enzo that the fact that Enzo had been hanging around in his local bar for the past couple of weeks. The bartender said that he had seen Enzo around, after Trevor showed him a picture of Enzo on his phone. Then when Trevor asked if anyone had been hanging out with Enzo at that bar, the bartender was able to pick out a local man and that local man had been named Eric, after getting a clue about who Eric was and what he looked like, Trevor handed over that information to Damon.
Damon and Stefan then took it upon themselves to track down Eric and after a while they did. Night time had now fallen by the time that they had found Eric, but they were one step closer to finding where Enzo was, which meant that they were one step closer to finding out where Bonnie was.
They cornered Eric in a alley way and wanted to waste little time on the man. So, they let him know that they meant business and Eric knew that they meant business.
Eric looked back and forth between the two displeased, Salvatore brothers. "Please, don't kill me."
"Then you better tell us everything that we want and need to know, no stalling or bullshitting around." Stefan demanded.
"Yes, Eric , it best not to stand between a desperate man and the woman that he loves." Damon added.
Eric wasted no time and confessed. "Okay, Okay. Enzo offered to pay me to help him and I took him up on his offer. He wanted to make it look like his ex girlfriend had died, because he was interested in taking her away from himself. And my job was to help it look like she had died, by setting up her car accident. That's what I did and I helped him do that."
"I made it look like his ex had past away in a car accident. He just said that he loved her and wanted to have a second chance with her. And that he was going to take her away and live in Europe with her, once her fake death had happened. I didn't hurt her or anything, I just went along with it, because I needed some extra cash." Eric rambled off his confession.
Damon's expression was enough to make any grown man urinate on himself out of fear.
An expression that had Eric cringing back. "He's planning on talking the love of my life over to Europe and hold her against her will, and raise my child with Bonnie as his own."
Eric shook his head. "From what he explained to me, he doesn't want the burden of the baby, he's wants to adopt it off at birth and then go off to Europe with Bonnie Bennett."
"Sick freak." Stefan mumbled under his breath.
"Tell me where he has her right now, so that we can find her." Damon commanded.
"I don't know where he has her." Eric responded.
"Don't lie to me, you know that I'm willing to kill anyone who is standing in my damn way right now." Damon warned.
Eric swallowed. "I don't know, I swear, I just stayed behind and help set up the accident…...it was Lee the other guy that he paid. He was the one who took her to the location and wherever he has her now, if you want to know where she could be ask Lee."
Stefan told Eric sternly. "You better be telling us the truth, Eric because if you're not and we find out that you are lying, we will hunt you down to the ends of the earth to kill you."
Eric stuttered. "I...I'm not lying and I told you all that I know."
"Fine, but you're not off of the hook until we find my fiancee, not get the hell out of here." Damon gestured.
Eric ran off.
Stefan turned to his brother. "Let's find this Lee guy, shall we."
Damon's face was a mask of emotion and fury. "Yes, let's find him, I need Bonnie and more importantly she needs me."
