He woke up the next morning, right before sunrise, he wanted to get a headstart to them finding information and leads that would lead them to Lee. The key to finding Enzo and therefore finding where Bonnie was being held. Each second that passed, he felt like it mattered if finding Bonnie. He just wanted to do whatever it took to have her in his arms again and was eager to get that day started.
Damon had taken a quick shower, gotten dressed and was now downstairs in the kitchen. He wasn't the only one who had awakened early that morning. Caroline entered into the room.
"Hey." Damon greeted.
"Hey." Caroline greeted in return and the scent of a hot liquid hit her nose. "Coffee?"
Damon poured himself a mug, from the freshly brewed pot. "Yeah, I thought about bourbon, but this morning it's too early for that even for me."
Caroline walked over and retrieved herself a mug. "I could use some too."
He thought about adding cream or sugar, but decided to have it black and took a sip. "Coffee is better for keeping the head clear anyway."
"We will find her." Caroline said to reassure them both after she saw his demeanor.
"She never should have been in this situation in the first place." Damon shook his head.
"None of us could have known that her death was faked until now." Caroline stated.
Damon glowered down at his mug of coffee. "I should have known, instead of just believing the accident and accepting that she was dead."
Caroline added a little sugar to her coffee. "You can't blame yourself, Enzo did such a job at faking that car crash that even the cops were fooled."
"And I hate that the bastard did such a job at tricking all of us. She's been in his damn clutches for all of this time because of that. She must have been wondering where I am and why haven't I found her yet." Damon grumbled.
"He has tricked us no longer, we know about what he has done and I'm sure that since I know Bon, I know that she believes in you and that she knows that you will come to her rescue as soon as the truth is exposed. And she is a fighter, we both know that she is going Enzo hell right now wherever he has her." Caroline pointed out.
The thought of that made Damon's lips curve some. "It's not only that he has her, but that she is pregnant also."
That was a concern of Caroline's also. "I know."
Damon went on. "She is extra vulnerable because she is pregnant. I don't want anything to happen to our child."
Caroline reassured. "Nothing is going to happen, that baby is going to be fine."
"I'm just keeping worrying, what if we don't get to her in time and Bonnie ends up giving birth to our baby. You know what Enzo wants to do, he wants to give the baby away, so that it will be just him and Bonnie. I can't stand the thought of some strange person getting away with my son or daughter and I know that Bonnie would be devastated by it." Damon took a long gulp of his coffee.
"That's not going to happen, we will get there in time. Bon still has a few weeks left before she is due to give birth, we will find her in enough time. Enzo's not going to be able to give that baby away, if my life depends on it." Caroline returned.
"Still everyday that passes is everyday that she could get closer to giving birth. I don't trust my baby is Enzo's hands and what he could do to him or her, when he is just blinded by having Bonnie." Damon frowned.
"We're going to get there in time." Caroline repeated "And I know that you will be the first one there, holding Bonnie in your arms and returning her to safety."
Damon nodded. "I'll also be the first one to make Enzo regret ever deciding to lay a hand on Bonnie."
Caroline lifted her mug. "That's what I'm counting on."
Just then Stefan entered into the kitchen. "Guys."
Damon looked over at his brother. "Let's get down to the business of finding this Lee."
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
It took them a while to find Lee's location. They had to spend time going through files and picking up information, that told them who Lee was as a person and therefore where he could be or where he could be hiding out. They searched around the area and asked questions about where Lee could be. And it took them a while, it took them hours. But, by late evening, they found out where Lee was hiding.
They found out that he was staying in a hotel in L.A., so Damon and Stefan took a trip to that hotel. When Damon first got there, he didn't see Lee, so he waited in the lobby for a bit and pretended to be a guest. Then he saw Lee coming in and going towards the elevator. Damon resisted the urge to rush up to Lee and immediately confront him as there were people around in the lobby who might interfere with what he needed to do.
Instead he waited for a moment and then went in the same direction that Lee was going. He knew that from the information that they got, that Lee was staying in a room on the second floor, so Damon went to the second floor. There he spotted Lee about to unlock the door to his room.
The blue eyed vampire cleared his throat, quickly approaching the man.
Startled, Lee turned his head and looked in Damon's direction.
"Hey, Lee? Can we talk." Damon said as more of a command than a request.
Lee's eyes bugged out and it was as if he knew who Damon was. He fumbled around with his keys in an attempt to open the still locked door, but as Damon got closer, the keys fell out of his hands and to the ground. Instead of trying to pick them up, Lee took off running in the direction opposite of where Damon was coming from.
"I guess not." Damon rolled his eyes.
Lee ran towards the end of the hall looking over his shoulder.
Damon took off in a sprint after the man.
Having a little head start, Lee turned into the doorway that lead to the stairs, he went quickly through the door and started to take the stairs down to the first floor.
But, Damon was right on his heels, just a few steps behind him and determined to catch the man.
Lee hit the first floor and in an attempt to get away, turned towards the exit that lead to the outside.
Damon was just an arm's reach away from grabbing him.
Lee opened the door, just to run into a solid wall of something that stopped him in his tracks and sent him stumbling back so far that he ended up falling on his ass.
What has stopped him was Stefan coming from the other side of the door, preventing him from being able to escape from the exit.
Lee gingerly got back to his feet.
Stefan shook his head. "You're right brother, he did try to run."
Damon eyed Lee coldly. "So, predictable."
Lee looked for a way to get away, but saw that he was trapped between Damon and Stefan, blocking his way.
"Like I said, can we talk?" Damon directed at Lee.
"I didn't do anything." Lee denied.
"People who didn't do anything usually don't run, Lee." Damon scoffed.
"Leave me alone, before I scream.: Lee warned.
Stefan gave Lee a stern look. "Your neck would be snapped before you could even let out the first sound."
Damon spoke. "Let's not waste time, you no why I am here, which is why you ran. Just hurry up and tell us what we came here for and you can get away with your life."
Lee sneered. "You're not getting nothing from me."
Stefan narrowed his eyes. "I think that you'll want to rethink that."
"I'm not telling you anything that you want to know." Lee returned.
"You will, if you want to live." Damon challenged.
"If you kill me now then you won't find out what you want to know." Lee lifted his chin.
The brothers exchanged looks.
Stefan said. "He's right, if we kill him now we won't find out what we need to know."
Damon pressed his lips together. "Then I guess we can't kill him now, can we?"
Lee breathed a sigh of relief thinking that he was out of the fire.
"Wouldn't be good to kill him out here in a public building, I guess." Stefan mumbled.
"Yeah, we need him to tell us what we need to know." Damon added "And since he won't cooperate with us, we need to take him somewhere, where we can gain his cooperation."
The relief that Lee felt went away. "Wait, What?"
Stefan told Lee. "Seems like you will be coming with his for a little integration."
"No," Lee said with a shake of his head.
"Yes," Damon corrected him. "Let's take a little trip, shall we."
Before Lee could answer, Damon reached out and knocked him out.
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
They had to find a secluded place to take Lee so that they could follow up on their interrogation. Luckily for them, Trevor had a spot that he provided, away from public eyes and where the brothers could take their time trying to get the answers out of Lee that they needed.
The next thing that Lee knew, he find himself waking up and coming around slowly. At first he didn't know where he was or what was going on, as he was coming to. Then Damon came around and smacked him hard on the back of the head, to help him wake up.
Lee blinked as his head cleared and he woke the rest of the way up, he tried to move but find himself restrained and his movement restricted. Looking down at himself, he saw that he was laying on his back, on the hard surface of a table and his arms and legs were tied down by ropes, preventing him from moving much.
Lee tried moving his arms and legs to break free him the ropes, but they have him tied down very tightly. This made him frantic and he looked around the room with the turn of his head. He saw Damon standing near him, eyeing him coldly, and Stefan across the room, arms folded over his chest and leaning against the wall.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Lee questioned with a hint of worry in his voice.
"Hello, again, Lee." Damon started.
"Let me go, right now." Lee insisted.
"Something from your profile told us that you might not be cooperative at first." Damon spoke. "Should have told us what we wanted to know back at the hotel. You wouldn't be in this position if you had."
Lee swallowed deeply. "You two can't do this to me."
Stefan shrugged. "Looks like we already are."
Damon shifted on his feet. "I'm going to introduce myself….I'm Da…."
Lee interrupted. "I know who you are."
Damon narrowed his eyes. "Of course you would know who I am already, part of you must have been expecting me, knowing what you have done and that I could come after you for it."
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Lee lied.
"Oh yeah, is that why I found tickets on you, plane tickets where you were planning on flying to New York tomorrow? Is there any reason why you are planning to leave the area, like maybe you were trying to avoid something or someone?" Stefan asked suspicious.
"Huh? You think that I'm up to something because I wanted to take my hard earned money and spend a few days in New York City?" Lee tried to play clueless.
The eldest Salvatore pointed out. "That 'hard earned' money that Enzo Saint John paid you to help him kidnap Bonnie Bennett you mean."
Lee licked at his dry lips. "Have no clue what you are talking about, I never known of a Enzo Saint John and I never saw a Bonnie Bennett in my life."
"We have a witness linking you to Enzo and the fact that you helped him kidnap my fiacanne" Damon returned with impatience.
"Bullcrap, what witness?" Lee asked.
"Eric, he sung like a canary in order for his life to be spared." Stefan answered.
"Eric's lying." Lee quickly said.
Damon stepped closer to the table. "No, you're lying. How about you tell us what we want to know, Lee or I'll have to force it out of you the painful way."
Lee buttoned up his lips, a bead of sweat sliding down his forehead.
"Where is the woman that I love, please tell me." Damon pressed.
"We don't have a lot of patience here." Stefan added.
"You're looking in the wrong spot." Lee denied.
But. Damon slammed down a hand next to Lee's head. "No we're not, tell us right now."
Even in the face of an angry, blue eyed man, Lee still tried to play tough. "You're never going to find her through me."
"So, you do know where she is, just like I thought." Damon returned.
"I'm a man of my word, Enzo paid me to be loyal and to not let anyone know where she is, especially you." Lee's lips trembled. "I can't go back on my word."
"I say that you do, for your own well being." Stefan suggested.
"All I want is the woman that I love back, if you give me the information that I need right now, then I'll be grateful enough to let you go." Damon let out a breath.
Lee huffed. "I ain't telling you shit, she's with Enzo now, so if…"
Damon cut Lee off by reaching down and harshly snapping one of Lee's fingers.
Lee's scream of pain suddenly filled the room. "Fuck."
"Oh, my bad." Damon grinned wickedly. "Did I do that? Here let me see if I can fix that." He snapped two more of Lee's fingers.
More screams of pain from Lee as he now had three broken fingers. "Ouch, Jeez, what are you crazy?" He turned towards Stefan. "How are you standing there and letting him do this to me."
Stefan leveled Lee with a gaze. "You had your chances to give us the answers that we wanted. Now you have to pay the price."
Damon glared down at Lee. "I'm going to break every bone in your damn body, one at a time until you tell me where Bonnie Bennett is."
Lee groaned out in pain.
Patience very thin, Damon reached out and took a hold of Lee's arm. He bent it quickly and painfully and with such force that the bone snapped in two.
Lee let out a high pitch squeal of pain.
Damon grabbed him by the throat. "Where is she? Where is she? I want her back."
With his arm twisted at an odd angle now, tears had formed in Lee's eyes from his broken arm.
Damon applied pressure to Lee's juglar. "You worked with Enzo, he paid you to take her somewhere. I want you to tell me where that is right now. Where did you take her?" He raised his voice with his word.
"Okay, Okay, I'll tell you where if you just stop torturing me." Lee yelled.
"Where?" Damon let up on the pressure, but only slightly.
"It's in a building, a couple of hours away from here." Lee told him.
"Give out the address." Damon demanded.
Lee babbled out the address, his broken arm and fingers having him in extreme pain.
Stefan wrote the address.
Damon took a step back. "It's a shame that you had to make that so difficult for yourself."
Stefan moved from the position that he was in. "Finally, we know exactly where she is."
"Let's go and get her." Damon directed at his brother with a nod.
The two brothers turned to leave.
But, that left Lee tied up on the table.
"Whoa, Whoa." Lee called out after them. "Aren't you going to let me go first?"
"Not right now." Stefan replied.
"Why not?" Lee questioned.
"We need to make sure that you gave us the right address, so you'll hang tight right here until we do." Damon let him know.
Lee insisted. "But, I did give you the right one and you should let me go now."
Damon told him. "Once Bonnie is safe back in my arms, we will let you go and you can go to the hospital and get those broken ones fixed."
Lee's face reddened. "I told you where she is, you can't screw me over like this."
Stefan returned. "We told you want we going to do."
"This is so wrong." Lee had a temper and therefore spoke before he could think. "You better hope that I don't escape or that bitch of yours will never be found."
Freezing in his tracks, Damon slowly turned back towards Lee. "What did you say?"
Lee spat back. "If I get by myself from this then I just might warn Enzo that you're on to him and that will give him time to get away with her, unless you just let me go know."
"Did you just threaten the woman that I love." Damon cocked his head to the side.
"Big mistake." Stefan gestured.
"I…." Lee realized that he shouldn't have opened his big mouth.
"Maybe I have to make sure that there is no chance that you can warn Enzo, in case you escape." Damon approached the table where Lee was.
Lee withdrew. "Wait….I spoke too soon, I can wait here until you have her back with you."
Damon clicked his tongue. "Too late, Lee I can't risk you telling him and getting in my back of getting her back."
Lee opened his mouth to protest.
But, Damon just reached out and snapped Lee's neck, killing him on the table.
"I tried to give him a chance to stay alive." Damon sighed.
Stefan normally wasn't for his brother's killings, but in this situation he understood and was on his brothers side one percent. "He should have kept his mouth shut."
Damon shook his head. "We have to get rid of the body."
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
By the time that they had all put their heads together, to come up with a plan and a strategy to get to Bonnie, another day had past by and it was now close to night time on that following day. They thought that perhaps trying to rescue her at night would give them a better cover and a better chance to get to her, without her or one of them getting hurt.
Damon had spent the day drinking down blood bags, making sure that he was at full strength to save his fiance and kill Enzo if he had to. It was decided that Stefan and Caroline would be the ones to go with him in order to rescue her, since they were the ones closest to the situation and Bonnie, besides Damon himself.
They gathered in a room and all exchanged glances.
"Are you ready?" Caroline asked.
"Let's go get her." Was Stefan's reply.
Damon had a determined look on his face. "I'm right there with you."
They all exited his house and headed towards a car that would be big enough to carry all four of them, once they got Bonnie back.
Damon got into the driver's seat and said quietly. "Hold on Bon-Bon, I'm coming to get you."
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
Meanwhile back at the place where she was being held, Bonnie sat in that room that she was being held in, feeling the same way that she had been, like a worn down hostage. Sad thoughts ran through her mind, as Enzo entered the room.
The British vampire's eyes scanned over her. "Hello, there love."
Bonnie greeted his greeting with silence.
Enzo held up what looked like a bottle of wine. "I was hoping that we could share a drink, maybe to ease the tension."
Bonnie scoffed. "You know that I can't drink."
"Calm down, it's actually non-alcoholic, I took your pregnancy into consideration." Enzo commented.
"No Thanks, either way." Was how Bonnie responded.
"No worries, I won't force you to have a drink of this." Enzo smiled as if they were having the most normal conversation in the world. "However it's not night time and I know that you've haven't had anything to eat since lunch. I'm having Natalie right now prepare some dinner for you, so that you won't go to bed hungry."
She met him with more silence.
Enzo went on. "As a matter of fact, once your food is prepared I hope to join you for dinner. Recreate the dinners that we used to have together when we were dating and recapture what we used to have. I won't give up us Bonnie, not until I gain your heart again."
Bonnie just eyed him with tired eyes, as he rambled on.
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
Outside of the place, Damon pulled up to the location of the address that they had been given too by Lee. He parked the car and leaned forward in the passenger's seat and looked at the building/house that Bonnie was being held in. After over two weeks of not being able to see Bonnie, the blue eyed vampire was eager to lay eyes on her again.
"There it is." Damon said of the building house.
They all stepped out of the car, him, Caroline, and Stefan. And they stood there and studied it from the outside.
"Looks kind of big." Caroline pointed out.
"Yeah, it does." Damon agreed.
"We should split up, one of us could find Bonnie faster that way." Stefan suggested.
Caroline nodded. "That's a good idea."
Damon added. "Right, the faster we find her, the sooner we can get out of here. We will split up."
So, they walked towards the building house and stepped inside. From the very entrance there was no one around and it was empty. They figured that if anyone was there, then it had to be further inside of the place. With a look at each other they all went in different directions in search for her.
Making his way through the place he kept his eyes and ears open for Bonnie, and that asshole Enzo. As he made his way closer to the center of the building, he started to smell some sort of food cooking. Knowing that it meant that someone was in the building, Damon let his nose lead him towards the scent. He worked his way towards it, until he spotted what looked like a kitchen area and there was a woman there who was preparing some food.
The woman just hummed as she prepared the food, not being aware of his presence yet. Quiety, Damon made his way into that room and towards the woman. He was so quiet that she didn't even notice that he was in the room, until he was right up on her.
She turned and saw him and in s startled move dropped what she was holding to the floor.
Natalie saw Damon and dropped the pan of food that she had, startled to see him there she was about to open her mouth to scream.
But, Damon brought a finger to his lips, telling her and warning her with his eyes for her not to make a sound. If Enzo was somewhere around with Bonnie, Damon didn't want to alert him if he could help it, at least not at that moment until he could have a chat with the woman first.
"Who are you?" Natalie questioned barely above a whisper.
"I'm the man who belongs to the woman that's being held here." Damon simply answered.
"Oh, I uh…." Natalie's eyes darted nervously around the room."
"Don't try to deny it, I know that she is here." Damon held up a hand.
Natalie wiped her hands on her apron. "She's not hurt or anything. I'm been taking good care of her, that's what you need to know."
His icy blue eyes were trained on the strange woman. "She's been held hostage here, how is that her being taken care of?"
Natalie searched for an answer, but knew that she wouldn't be able to find one to satisfy this man. "I never meant her any harm."
Damon pointed out. "But, you willingly helped Enzo hold her against her will, that automatically puts you on my bad side."
"Please listen to reason." Natalie saw the look in his eyes.
"Were you the one who was going to take my child away? After she gave birth." Damon wanted to know.
Natalie couldn't answer that.
This let Damon know that he was right about her intentions and that upset him. "You're lucky that my first priority is to find Bonnie."
Natalie excused. "I had good intentions, I just wanted to be a mother to a child."
Damon waved her off. "A child that wasn't yours and you were planning on kidnapping,"
Caroline entered into the room, just to hear these last words. "What? This bitch was planning to kidnap the baby?"
"Yep." Damon gave Natalie a glare.
"Please, don't kill me." Natalie cowered down at Damon's stance.
"Where does he have her in here?" Damon asked the woman, not caring that she was afraid of him.
Natalie quickly gestured behind herself. "She's back there a little ways."
Caroline said. "You go ahead and get Bon, I'll stay here and keep an eye on this bitch."
Damon went. "All Right." and left in the direction that Natalie had gestured.
Natalie made a movement.
But, Caroline gave her a warning by vamping out. "You stay right there."
Natalie did as she was told, daring not to move.
BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK
Back in the room with Bonnie even though the room that he had locked her in was a good ways from the kitchen area of the building, Enzo could hear a commotion, because of his vampire advanced hearing. He was alerted to the sound of voices. There was Natalie's and then there was the sound of the voice from the man that filled him with dread, Damon Salvatore's.
Enzo's eyes nearly bugged out of his head. "No, it can't be."
Bonnie who couldn't hear with vampire senses, and therefore had no idea that Damon was in the building yet, gave Enzo a confused expression at his sudden change in demeanor.
Suddenly. Enzo jumped up and grabbed Bonnie's arm.
Annoyed she yanked her arm away. "What are you doing, don't grab me like that."
Enzo was frantic. "We have to leave."
"Why? You never let me leave this room, since you kidnap me and brought me here." Bonnie was suspicious of his behavior.
The British vampire casted a look towards the door as he could hear Damon's footsteps a little ways away.
"Bonnie?" Damon called out in question, from a ways down the hall that lead to the room that she was being held in.
Bonnie's heart leap into her chest, as she was sure that she heard Damon's voice. She listened out.
"Bonnie," Damon was a step closer.
Right then and there, her spirits and emotions were instantly lifted, levels above what they had been ever since she had been kidnapped. Finally, the man that she loved had figured things out and he have come to save her out of this hell hole.
She got to her feet.
"This is not happening." Enzo was unnerved.
"It is happening? I knew that he would figure out the truth, he's Damon Salvatore afterall!" Bonnie exclaimed.
"I didn't go through all of this, just for him to ruin my plans now." Enzo grew angry that he was discovered by Damon of all people.
Bonnie ignored him, instead choosing to call out. "Damon!"
Hearing her voice, Damon picked up the pace of his steps, in relief and excitement. "Bonnie!"
"Damon, I'm in here!" Her voice was filled with joy and relief of her own. She was about to be reunited with the man that she loved.
Enzo told her under his breath. "You shut up."
But, Bonnie defied him. "No, I won't shut up." She called out again. "I'm here, Damon."
Enzo glared at her.
"It's over, Enzo, he has found me. I wish that you could have found a relationship with someone else, but I'm not that person." Bonnie tried a last attempt at talking some sense into him. "Let me walk out of here and there no need for any of us to get hurt."
However, all Enzo got see was the redness of anger at Damon ruining his plans, to go to Europe and try and rebuild a life with Bonnie. "No, I'm not letting you walk out of here. I did this all for my love for you, and I'm not losing you, especially not to him."
"Enzo…." Bonnie tried.
More anger filled Enzo, as he heard Damon get yet closer to the room, blinded by this anger and jealousy, he grabbed Bonnie by her neck. "If I can't have you, then he's not going to easily have you either."
Enzo extended his fangs and viciously bit into the side of her neck.
Bonnie gasped out in shock, as she felt her throat being torn open by the sharpness of Enzo's fangs.
Making sure to bite into her good, Enzo drunk some of her blood, before taking her and swooping over to the corner of the room, away from the door.
Seconds later, Damon kicked in the door, knocking it away from it's hinges. "Bonnie," He called out yet again. His eyes scanned the room, before he spotted her. His relief it seeing her was quickly dampened by the scene before him.
Bonnie was there, but she wasn't alone and she wasn't exactly okay. Enzo was there, behind her, with his arms wrapped around her upper body, holding her in place and preventing her from moving. Blood covered his lips and chin and he had that slight look of bloodlust in his eyes. It was Bonnie's blood that dreaded Damon the most.
He could see her, holding a hand to the wound in her neck, as the blood flowed through her fingers, and putting two and two together, it was clear that Enzo had bitten Bonnie or fed off of her and that the wound from that was nasty and wide and causing her to bleed. A number of emotions ran through Damon.
Damon took a step forward, ready to help her and fix her wound.
Enzo held up a hand. "Don't take another step or I'll finish her and your unborn child off before you could ever get over here."
Damon frowned. "You wouldn't."
Enzo hissed, showing his fangs that were stained with her blood. "One more bite into her other vein and she will be done for."
The blue eyed vampire hesitated and was thinking of ways to try and get around Enzo, in order to get Bonnie from his grasp and help her.
"Don't test me, Damon." Enzo saw what he was thinking and lowered his fangs to the other side of Bonnie's neck. "Unless you want to see her die right before you."
"Fine, just don't hurt her anymore." Damon blurted out.
Enzo gave a smug smirk. "I knew that there was a way to get you under control."
Damon saw that Bonnie was in physical pain from the wound, as more blood flowed through her fingers, he knew that he had to find a way to help her soon, but Enzo was holding her close to him and threatening to rip into the other side of her throat, if Damon made a wrong move.
"What have you done, Enzo?" Damon was taken aback, yet again by how far he had gone.
"Why don't I ask the questions here. How did you do it? How did you discover me and that she was alive and that I had her?" Enzo wanted to know.
"You could say that you could think Kai, in a way." Damon eyed the British vampire with pent up rage.
"Kai Parker? How would be play into this." Enzo's tone was amused.
Damon explained. "Because of Elena, that psychopath had no idea that when he set that spell years ago that he would actually end up helping Bonnie. But, because of his linking and Elena not waking up until Bonnie had to die, Ric discovered that Elena was still in a coma in her coffin and connected the dots to the witch still being alive."
Enzo arched a brow. "Oh, wow, I must admit that in all of my planning, I completely forgot about Elena. It didn't come to my mind that her coffin would be checked on. If only if hadn't been, then my plan could have went off flawlessly."
Damon returned. "But, it didn't and now here I am, ready to be reunited with my fiance."
Enzo sneered. "Yes, here you are. But, that reunion won't go as you planned."
"How could you do this to her, Enzo?" Damon snapped out the question.
"It's not me, it's you who pushed me to do this and who backed me into a corner. If you would have just stood to the side and backed off, then it would have never gotten this far." Enzo said.
"You blame me because of your failed relationship, but even if I wasn't in the picture, how are you sure that the two of you would have still been together." Damon shook his head.
"I'm convinced that it would have been easier, but then you ran off with her and left town, killing any chances of me rekindling the relationship." Enzo stated.
Damon's eyes connected with Bonnie's and they communicated silently that way. She seemed to be too shocked at the wound and the loss of blood to speak at the moment. But, her green eyes were wide with fear and pain, as she kept losing blood and she pleaded with him, with her eyes to do something to help.
Deeply concerned and worried for her well being, Damon took the risk of inching ever so slightly towards them. "You're upset because things didn't work out the way that you wanted them to. We all know that, but do you think that this is the way to handle that, that this will win Bonnie's heart over to you."
"You can't lecture me, Damon, not after all that you have done. I"ve decided to go after what I want when I want. The same thing that you do. It seems that no matter what you do and no matter how awful it is, you somehow always get what you want in the end." Enzo ranted bitterly. "Always having people loyal to you, there by your side, such as your brother. And Bonnie after everything you get to have her affections and love. You get to be engaged to her and become the father of her child, having the perfect happy life with her and getting everything that you ever ask for. Well, I don't think that it's fair and it's time that I put an end to that."
Damon gave Enzo a murderous expression, he wanted so badly to end the vampires life right now, especially because of the fact that he had hurt Bonnie and had her bleeding out.
Enzo went on in his rant. "You don't deserve to have such a life, Damon. What about me, I do. I've spent all of my life alone, with no one. Rejection after rejection. Abandonment after Abandonment. Never anyone to fight for me or love me. Then, I get that when Bonnie comes along. Finally the attention and love that I have been seeking. And you want to come along and take that all away from me. That's not going to happen, I'm going to do everything that I can to hold into her."
For her sake and well being, Damon tried to remain calm and talk to the other vampire. "No matter how you feel about, me, her or yourself, this isn't right what you are doing to her. If you really loved her, you wouldn't be putting her life in danger like this."
"I do love her, it's why I'm doing all of this." Enzo insisted.
"You have hurt her physically on purpose and you've gravely wounded her, that's not love, it's selfishness." Damon retorted.
"It is love, now you might question by methods, but I would do anything for it. And I'm not going to let you win, because I want to win. Step aside and let me go on with my plans." Enzo directed.
Bonnie's eyes started to flatter as the continuing loss of blood was making her weaker by the minute.
This alarmed Damon. "She's needs help, Enzo you;ve seriously hurt her. If she stays wounded any longer, she's going to be in real trouble. Let me help her, if you really care for her."
Enzo countered. "I care for her and I'll prove that…..once I'm out of this building with her and you let me leave with her, without following me or trying to stop me and I'll heal her with my blood."
Damon asked. "How do I trust that you will heal her?"
"Because I want a life with her, why would I allow her to die? But, me healing her would require you to allow me to get away, no interruptions." Enzo rolled his eyes.
"That would mean that you never plan on letting me see her again." Damon glared.
"Of course it would mean that, but at least you would know that she is alive, so what's it going to be Damon, you let me leave and save her, or you try to stop me and watch her and your unborn child die." Enzo commented.
Damon balled his hands into fist. "Fucking bastard."
Enzo pushed. "Times wasting, Damon. She's already lost a lot of blood and is leaking out a pint by the minute. Would you rather try and fight to watch her die or give up and have her live, even if that means her living with me."
Damon's face was a mask of rage and fury. "You're going to be a dead man, Enzo."
Enzo laughed. "Come on, give me your answer already."
Damon saw that Bonnie was fading away fast, and wordlessly took a step back.
"Good choice." Enzo gestured. "Now move away from the door."
Slowly, Damon got away from the door.
Enzo kept Bonnie like a shield in front of him and he started to make his way to the door with her, for his escape.
The blue eyed vampire kept his eyes on them, as his concerned raised seeing Bonnie covered in her own blood.
As her blood dried on his lips and chin, Enzo was about have way to the door with her.
That was when Bonnie mustered up whatever little strength she had inside of her. She elbowed Enzo as hard as she could in his rib area.
The move caught Enzo off guard enough, where his grasp loosened off of her.
She took the opportunity and nudged him in the rib area again and this allowed her to slip away from his grasp, where she quickly moved away from him.
"Don't." Enzo lunged at Bonnie in a desperate attempt to get her in his grasp again.
Damon saw an opening. He rushed over and grabbed Enzo from behind, to prevent him from getting a hold of Bonnie. "Stay away from her, don't you touch her."
"No, she's mine." Enzo yelled
With a weak cry from all of the blood loss and the wound in her neck, Bonnie slid to the ground.
And the two vampires struggled with each other, as Damon was trying to prevent Enzo from getting Bonnie and Enzo was trying to get away from Damon to get to Bonnie.
The eldest Salvatore whipped Enzo around to face him and punched him in the face. And that was when the fight started, The two began exchanging angry and furious blows, hits and punches.
On the ground and curled up into a ball, Bonnie watched them fight through the blurred vision of her eyes.
They kept struggling and fighting, vamp speeding all across the room as they did so. Dueling to gain the upper hand over the other. The fight got intense and violent between the two vampires. They wrestled around and exchanged more punches and kicks, as Enzo rambled on about how she had to be his.
Damon just had to protect and save Bonnie and their unborn child, that ended up giving him the power and the strength to eventually overpower the British vampire. He stuck his hands into Enzo's chest and grabbed at the heart. Enzo's eyes bugged out and he yelled out in pain, as he realized that he had lost the fight and that his life was about to end.
Damon expressed through gritted teeth. "Have a fun time in hell." With as much force as possible, he yanked the heart out of Enzo's chest.
Enzo's body convulsed for a minute, before he and his body dead and Enzo was staring blankly up at the ceiling, life inside of him no more.
There was no time to rejoice over killing him, Damon's concern immediately turned to the woman that he loved. She was on the floor, in a pool of her blood as it kept gushing from the wound that Enzo had so viciously made.
Damon sped over to her. "Bonnie? Hold on."
Bonnie felt so weak and like she was struggling for air now. Still she was filled with joy and relief as she eyed him. "Damon."
"Hey, you're going to be alright now." Damon said to reassure the both of them. He gathered her into his lap.
"I knew that you would find me." She told him in a shaky voice.
"That's right, I did." Damon returned with a curve of his lips.
Bonnie gave him a small smile, before her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she passed out.
The fear of losing her filled Damon. "Hey, don't you do that, come on, Bonnie."
Fully unconscious now, Bonnie didn't respond, she had lost a lot of blood and the wound had been opened for too long.
"No, No, No. You are not going to die on me witch." Damon's voice was in a complete panic.
He bit into his wrist and brought it to her lips.
She was too knocked out and out of it, to be able to drink from his wrist, so at first some of his blood just ran down her lips.
Damon could feel her heartbeat get slower, as he life was slipping away. "Damn it, don't do this to Bonnie, drink."
Bonnie still wasn't able to drink much on her own, but some of his blood did manage to slip past her lips and down her throat. Moments later his blood started to do it's work and Damon watched as the wound in her neck steadily heal, until it closed up.
"Thank you." Damon said to himself. But, even though her wound was healed, she had still lost a ton of blood and because of that she was still passed out.
"Hang on, Bon-Bon, we're getting the hell out of here." Damon got to his feet with her in his arms and he ran out of the room, leaving a dead Enzo behind. Cradling her he ran back the way that he came, towards the exit of the building, whispering to her "We're going to be okay" over and over again.
Halfway there he ran into Stefan and Caroline. They saw the state that Bonnie was in, unconscious in his arms, her clothes and neck covered in blood.
Stefan cursed out of immediate concern. "What in the hell happened."
Caroline put her hands to her face in horror. "Oh my God, Bonnie."
Damon explained. "That asshole Enzo did this to her."
Caroline scowled. "Then, I'm going to kill him."
"Already done. I healed her with my blood, but she has lost a lot of blood already and the best way to help her is to get out of here, right now." Damon muttered.
"I'll drive us back, the closer we get back towards your home the better." Stefan volunteered.
"Let's go then." Caroline casted a worry look at her friend, in Damon's arms.
Damon nodded. They rushed at to the car that they had driven in. Stefan got in the driver's seat, Caroline in the passenger's seat, and Damon got into the backseat, cradling Bonnie in his arms. Stefan started the car and peeled out of the parking lot on a squeal of the tires.
Stefan took the turn on the highway, that would lead them back home. Time past by and yet Bonnie remained unconscious in his arms. But, a little ways into the drive her slow heartbeat started to pick up back to it's normal pace. His blood still doing the work to heal her body.
They were about an hour away from their destination, when Bonnie's woke up and came around with a sudden start and a gasp of air. Her eyes popping wide open in the darkness of the car. At first Damon was relieved that she had woken up, thinking that it was a positive sign of how her body had healed from the wound.
But, then a scream of startled pain suddenly escaped from her lips.
A scream so sudden and loud that it nearly caused Stefan to drive off of the road from shock. "What in the hell." The younger Salvatore called out.
Caroline looked back over the seat, towards where Damon was holding Bonnie in the back seat. "What's wrong with her?"
Damon was about to answer that he didn't know, when he felt a pool of wetness spill over in his lap. But, then he thought that it couldn't be, but there was no other explanation other than.
"I think that her water just broke." Damon said taken aback.
Both Stefan and Caroline returned. "What?" in shock.
Damon became alarmed and troubled. "Her water just broke, she's about to go into labor."
Everyone fall into a stunned silence, except for the sounds that Bonnie made as her water broke and Damon,Stefan, and Caroline all thought the same thing and had the same concerns. Bonnie wasn't due to give birth for another few weeks. If she was indeed about to go into labor, than she was going into it too early.
