Note: Don't own any of these characters
Also thank you so much to everyone who reviewed! It makes me so happy to see. Also, sorry the first two chapters have been really short. I promise they're going to get much longer. Writing has been a bit problematic for me this week, but I should be able to write longer chapters next week. Also, tell me in your reviews what you think of my version of Stefan. He's a lot more, well... blunt in this fanfic, for reasons that you will see in the future Keep reading!
Chapter 2
Bonnie's tired eyes widened with surprise. She stepped back, fearfully but didn't close the door. "E-Enzo?"
"I have to admit," Enzo said jokingly. "I was expecting a bit more celebration, love." His sarcastic tone didn't fool her. It truly was Enzo. She didn't know how, but he was back.
"It is you!" she said, smiling wider than she had in weeks and wrapping her eyes immediately around him. "I have so many questions!" She bit her lip, realising she only really had one. Where was he?
"Maybe let us in first?"
"Us?" She perked up, but then was immediately disappointed when Stefan appeared next to Enzo. She hoped Enzo hadn't noticed her sudden change in expression. Stefan smiled but something in his eyes was solemn.
Damon. Something had happened to Damon.
"Come in," she muttered to them. Enzo frowned, but Stefan simply nodded gravely.
"Bonnie, I can't even tell you how much I've missed you," Enzo said, his easy grin returning to his face as he took a seat next to Stefan on Bonnie's couch. She looked into his eyes. There was nothing but love there. She felt a pang of guilt. Even though she loved him too, there was something missing. Her heart hadn't returned when he did.
"I missed you too," she said truthfully and smiled.
"If you're anything like the Bonnie Bennett I knew, then you are probably dying to know everything," he laughed. She nodded frantically. "Where do I even start? Me and Damon have been through a lot the past couple months." Damon.
"A monster took us over. Controlled us. I have no recollection of what I did, but from what Stefan, here has told me, I did a lot."
Bonnie knew it wasn't fair to ask him about Damon. Not now, after everything he'd been through.
"Do you have any idea what it was?"
"Not a clue," Enzo admitted. "The second I came to my senses, I was out of there."
"You just came to your senses?" she asked, curiously. "Surely something must have triggered that."
"Evidently, yes. Something triggered it. The only question is, what? We need to find that out."
Bonnie glanced at Stefan who hadn't said anything but had been watching her carefully. His eyes seemed to tell her to ask the question, already, but it could have just been her curious imagination.
"What about Damon,"
"Last I saw him, he tried to kill me," Enzo flinched. "He's fine. Currently he's in London, feeding on innocents. Believe me, though. There's nothing that can wake him up."
Bonnie frowned. What was it that woke Enzo up?
"We have to try, at least."
Enzo raised his eyebrow. "Bonnie, what do you propose we do? Deliver ourselves to that monster?"
Before Bonnie could speak, Stefan spoke for the first time. "Bonnie's right. We have to try. The real Damon is in there somewhere."
Enzo cupped his face in his hands. "Why do you have so many papers?" he asked Bonnie, reaching for her first letter to Damon and opening it, Stefan had pulled the letter from his grasp before Bonnie could. And that's when she realised. Stefan knew.
Enzo glared at Stefan.
"What? You never learned not to look through people's things?" Stefan asked with a small smile.
Enzo rolled his eyes. "I'll be at the bar next door. Talk to me when you guys have figured out how exactly we are going to de-monster your brother." And with that, he kissed Bonnie and left the tiny apartment.
Stefan waited until Enzo was safely out of earshot before speaking. He seemed to have read Bonnie's mind, because he said, "I've known since Enzo and Damon first disappeared."
Bonnie felt a worm in her throat. "How," she croaked, tears threatening to pour out of her eyes.
"I saw you writing a letter the night of their disappearance. And when I asked Caroline what you were writing out of curiosity, she said that she'd seen you writing plenty and that she'd found a stack of them. She'd managed to read one. The first one, I believe, when Damon had left without saying goodbye."
Bonnie cursed herself for leaving the letters where people could read them. "Things have changed since then. I'm with Enzo, now. I love him. No matter what happens, he'll never leave me like Damon did."
Stefan nodded slightly as if he'd just figured something out. "I saw your face when it was me at the door instead of Damon. Of course you love Enzo, but he's not the only one, is he?"
"That's none of your business," Bonnie growled. "Don't you ever tell me how I feel again, understand?"
Stefan was a little taken-aback and it showed on his face.
"I'm sorry, Bonnie. But it's okay to love two people, just ask Enzo."
"What do you mean?" asked Bonnie, her heart beating fast. She was shocked at how different Stefan was acting. Perhaps it had something to do with living without Damon. Maybe it had that kind of effect on him.
"I mean that Enzo knows what woke him up."
Note: What woke Enzo up is a bit of a mystery, but don't worry, you'll find out next time. ;) REVIEW, PLEASEEEEE
