"I don't know who Abigail Bennett is, my name is Kimberly and if you don't get off of my porch…I will be calling the cops!" the woman started to close the door again, but Damon's arm prevented her from doing so, "Do you honestly want to play this game, maybe this would make you more interested in telling the truth," he stated holding up his phone and showing her a picture of Bonnie.
It was subtle, but he noticed her smile a little and then it disappeared, "She's cute…girlfriend?" the woman tilted her head.
"She means a lot to me…" he backed down, "and I know she means a lot to you, she's your daughter and she's about to get herself killed."
The woman looked from the picture to Damon and then back at the picture, "How did you find me?" she sighed.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
"Bonnie, I wasn't sure that you would want to come out—especially, when your dad just got out of the hospital," Caroline yelled over the loud music in the bar.
"My dad all but threatened me to leave the house today, especially after he heard I spent a week nonstop at the hospital and besides your mother is keeping him company, they are probably boring each other with Mystic Falls stories," Bonnie looked around searching for that one person that she had identified days before. She had used her hunting skills as a bargaining chip. It was amazing how easily vampires would sell each other out if they thought they could live another day. After showing Elena's picture around town to a few vampires and identifying her as Katherine, she was directed to a hang out of one of Katherine's boy toys. His name was Enzo St. John. The last vampire she got information from, showed her a picture of him. He was definitely attractive with a glint in his eyes. He had alabaster skin, expressive eyes and he looked like a charmer—but he was definitely a means to an end. She only needed him to direct her to Katherine's whereabouts and then…he would have to be eliminated.
"I can't believe you got us in here, what did you say to the bouncer?" Caroline whispered in her ear.
"I sweet talked him," Bonnie continued to scan the room and then she located him. He was whispering in a redhead's ear and she was giggling.
"Nice!" Caroline chirped, "I want a drink…"
"Ok…I think I see someone I know, I will be right back," Bonnie broke away from her.
"Ok! I will be by the bar…or maybe the dance floor…just text me!" Caroline called after her as Bonnie made her way towards Enzo.
She shifted her crossbody bag to rest firmly against her hip as she concentrated on closing the space between her and Enzo. She moved through the dancing bodies all over the club, she noticed his eyes cut over to her and she gave him a smirk. She observed as he slowly moved away from the redhead, who tried to pull him back to her, but he turned around and mumbled some words that Bonnie couldn't hear and she immediately let him go. Compulsion, Bonnie scoffed to herself, a vampire's favorite tool.
Enzo made his way over to the Bonnie and she saw his eyes travel down towards her legs, she assumed correctly that the short black skirt and crop top would do for the night. His eyes drifted up to her face and he licked his lips ever so slightly and Bonnie fought every inclination inside of her not to vomit. "Hi," he stated looking down at Bonnie with a gleam in his eye giving her a once over.
"Hi," she grinned.
"Do I know you from somewhere?" he raised an eyebrow.
"I don't think so, you don't look like a Mystic Falls regular," she teased turning around as she began to sway to the music.
Enzo placed his hands on her waist and moved behind her swaying to the music in sync with her, "Oh? What does a Mystic Falls regular look like?" he whispered in her ear.
"Not you," she responded.
He twirled her around, "How about we go somewhere else and talk where we can actually hear what each other is saying…I have a VIP room here…"
"A VIP room?" Bonnie turned to face him, "do you promise to be good?"
Enzo snickered throwing his head back, "I promise to be as good as you want me to be," he flirted.
She nodded as he held out his hand. She took it and immediately, the feeling of coldness and death overtook her. Her body shook involuntarily, "Are you ok?" he turned to her.
Bonnie recovered, "Fine...sorry…I felt a chill."
"It's probably warmer in my VIP room," Enzo winked at her.
Bonnie smiled as she turned to look for Caroline and noticed that she was dancing while having the time of her life. She followed Enzo down the hallway lit with red lights as he led her into a room before looking directly into the bouncer's face and letting them know he was not to be disturbed. Bonnie clutched her bag as the door closed behind, "So is this the VIP room that you had ready for Little Miss Redhead out there?" Bonnie gestured towards the closed door.
"This is actually a party room where I bring many friends while I'm in town, but it just so happens that I'm interested in making only one friend tonight," he moved closer to her taking her hand in his, "so what's your name?"
"Bonnie."
"Pretty name."
"Yours?" she asked.
"Enzo."
"Pretty name," she mimicked him.
He chuckled and then pointed at her, "Oh…pretty huh?"
"Yup, what's wrong with that?"
He wrapped his arms around her torso, pulling her closer to him and swaying gently to the music, "So Bonnie, what exactly made you come into this room with me," he gazed down at her.
"What made you bring me to this room?" she looked up at him.
"Well when I see a pretty woman, I don't believe in wasting any time."
"Wasting time…dancing?" she met his eyes.
"Would you rather be doing something else?" he whispered in her ear.
"What do you have in mind?"
He smiled leading her over to the couch, taking a seat and staring into her eyes, "Well…maybe this," he leaned over and kissed her on the neck.
"Careful Enzo, do you think I'm one of those easy girls?" she toyed with him, touching his neck slightly causing him to shiver.
He licked his lips, "Easy…no…but I am pretty sure that you go after what you want."
Bonnie smiled, "I most certainly do," she whispered touching his chin and kissing him. Enzo was an ok kisser and this wasn't exactly what she wanted do, but she had to to get information on Katherine. As she felt him lowering her body down on the couch and his hands drifted up her shirt, squeezing one of her brown mounds, her mind flashed to the last time she had been like this with someone. Her last time with Damon was one of the most passionate, sweetest moments that she'd ever had.
"You are beautiful," he whispered in her ear.
"Am I really? How do you think I taste?" she whispered in his.
Enzo stopped kissing her giving her a surprised look, "Really?"
Bonnie laughed, "You know, maybe I shouldn't allow you to think I'm this easy," she pushed him up, "maybe we can continue this another time."
"And how would we do that?"
"Give me your phone…" Bonnie smiled taking his cell after he quickly whipped it out. She typed in her phone number and handed it back to him, "give me a call, maybe we can meet up again, somewhere more private?"
Enzo gave her a bright smile, "Well Bonnie, I think you have peaked my interest—so that is definitely something I want."
"Good," she whispered sitting up, "now I have to check on my friend, call me sometime…ok."
"Oh I will be calling," he stood up beside her gazing down.

"You made a deal with a coven in New Orleans to find me? Why?" Abigail Bennett folded her arms staring at the tall stranger in her living room.
"I told you, your daughter."
"My daughter," she mocked, "what makes you so sure that the young woman you showed me is my daughter."
"You can quit the act. I'm not sure what you're hiding or why you're hiding, but your daughter needs you."
Abigail looked up at the stranger, "Look, I don't know who you are…"
"Damon…Damon Salvatore."
"Salvatore," she stated as if the name brought up a memory, not exactly pleasant ones.
"And your mother was Shelia Bennett, she passed away a couple of months ago."
Abigail looked over at him. If she felt anything about Sheila's passing, she didn't show it, "So how do you know Bonnie?"
"So you're admitting that Bonnie is your daughter now?" Damon raised an eyebrow.
"You came here, you know who I am…what I am…Bonnie is my daughter, although if you asked her or her father, the answer may be different. Why did you come here?"
"Because Rudy was attacked by a vampire, he's in the ICU in Mystic Falls and Bonnie's on a warpath and she may get herself killed."
Abby gulped and then shook her head in angst, "Is Rudy going to live?"
"He may. Bonnie won't if she continues down the path she's on. She may be good at being a huntress, but even I know that her emotions can knock her off her game."
"What do you think I can do?"
"I don't know, be a mother? Tell her that she can't run around thinking she can take on vampires that are hundreds of years old!" Damon waved his arms, "look, I had a mother that was pretty shitty who let my bastard of a father do whatever he wanted to me and my brother, so I'm not an expert—but maybe you can do something to help your daughter."
"Are you my daughter's boyfriend?"
Damon grimaced, "No, me and Bonnie are far from that at the moment. I'm someone that owes her a lot and I don't want to see her dead."
The older Bennett nodded, "Bonnie won't listen to me even if I tried to help her…"
"Because you left her."
"I had to," she stated.
"Why?"
"That's a story best left for Bonnie to know first, if she ever asks."
"So you will come to Mystic Falls with me?" Damon asked hoping that he had said enough.
"No."
Damon blinked. He hadn't anticipated that answer, "What do you mean?"
"I left Bonnie over 10 years ago. She's been with Rudy for years, he's had time…"
"Time to do what?" Damon asked nearly panicked. He expected Abigail to resist at first, but when he stated that Bonnie could die—he expected her to be all in. The fact that Bonnie was going on a suicide mission made him act; he couldn't fathom how her mother wouldn't be interested.
"To turn her against me…"
"Didn't you kind of do that when you left her without a word or without any type of explanation?"
"I had to leave," she argued, "you don't know what happened."
"I don't need to know, I just know your daughter is angry, hurt and about to take on a vampire who has absolutely nothing to lose. Rudy is in the ICU, he may die. Bonnie won't allow anyone to help him with blood, so she may be left all alone. Hell, your mother died and you know she picked up the slack when you took off…Bonnie needs someone and she has no one right now. I am here because I know that she needs someone to help her."
"And you think I'm that person?"
"I know you are," Damon responded.
"Even like this?" Abigail asked moving a few feet away from him and he watched as the veins slowly appeared around her eyes which became bloodshot red and fangs appeared in her mouth.
Damon's eyes widened, "Yeah that may be a problem," he mumbled.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Rudy walked slowly down the stairs into the basement. The sound of Bonnie hitting the bag echoed off of the walls. She looked like she was training for a war and for the first time since they embarked on this lifestyle for her, he felt uneasy, "Whoa…time for a break?" he suggested.
She looked over her shoulder for a moment, "A break? That's something I thought you would never say."
"Well, you can take a break. We have the moonstone."
"Daddy, if there's anything that you've taught me is that there is no rest for the wicked, remember. Katherine is still around, she knows we have the moonstone and she tried to kill you. I won't just allow that to go."
His daughter had developed into this young woman that he almost didn't recognize, "Bonnie…"
"Daddy, it's ok. I know what I have to do. I know that you've spent years training me for something like this and guess what, I think I've reached the point where I can turn off emotions. I know that there is one goal to accomplish here and that is to make sure vampires pay for all of the despair and harm they bring to the world," she parroted back to him words he'd said a million times.
"Is this because of what happened with Damon Salvatore?" Rudy inquired walking up next to her watching her closely. If Damon's name affected her at all, there was no hint of it. Her eyes held a steely gaze and her mouth was set in a straight line.
"Damon means nothing to me. Whatever I had with him is over and I don't want to discuss it anymore."
He nodded, "Very well. I don't want you going after Katherine."
She turned, "What?"
"Katherine, I am telling you…this one…you need to let it go."
Bonnie unwrapped her wrist and turned to him, "She tried to kill you. She came into our home…Grams' home and destroyed it, no she doesn't get to live after doing something like that."
"The moonstone can make sure that she stays in her place."
"Her death will assure that," Bonnie answered as her cell phone began to vibrate on the table near her.
"Who's calling?" Rudy gestured with his chin.
Bonnie walked over and picked up the cell, it was Enzo, "It's just a friend, Daddy."
Rudy lifted his eyebrow.
"It's just a friend…" Bonnie turned to him, "Daddy, some privacy please?"
Rudy shook his head and headed up the stairs. Bonnie whispered a quick muffling spell before she answered, "Hi," she stated happily. She knew he would call. She left him wanting just enough to call her and pursue something, "I didn't expect for you to call so soon."
"Well, you left me wanting more—so why wouldn't I call."
Bonnie smiled, "So what's on your mind?"
"I wanted to know if you would meet me for a drink and whatever else that leads to tonight…"
"Oh really?"
"Yes."
"Where?"
"This little place right outside of Mystic Falls, it's not as popular as that other club."
"Hmm…send me the name and the address. What time should I meet you?"
"8."
"8 it is," she smiled before ending the call.
Bonnie looked at the text that Enzo sent and chuckled, 'The Scarlet Road'. She was very familiar with the place. It was a hang out for vampires in the area. Walking into that place being who she was and what she was could be dangerous, but she was willing to do it. Bonnie knew that it was the only way to get to Katherine.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
"Hello Brother."
Stefan smiled holding onto his cell phone, "So your phone still works huh?"
"Look, I got your messages and I know what the Tilted Witchy Huntress is up to. I'm trying to help her in my own way, so I need some time."
"Elena saw Caroline today and she told her that Bonnie took her to some club in Mystic Falls."
"A club? Why?" Damon asked increasing his grip on his phone.
"Well Caroline said it was to have some fun after Rudy got out of the hospital…"
"He's out?"
"Yes."
"Ok, soo…"
"Well Caroline also told Elena that Bonnie disappeared with a guy for awhile."
The feeling that surfaced in the depths of Damon's stomach caused him to grip the phone so tight that blood dripped from his fist, "What guy?"
"I don't know."
"You need to find out. Bonnie has one type and if she's after Katherine, she definitely found a vampire to lead her to her. I want you to keep track of her. See what she's doing, who's she's with and for heavens sakes Stefan…don't be obvious with it. If she sees you anywhere, she will probably kill you. But can you do me this one favor?" Damon asked.
"One favor."
"Yes, Bonnie. She doesn't know what she's up against with Katherine. Keep an eye on her, see what she's doing and if she does anything that could potentially kill her—stop it."
"Where are you?" Stefan asked.
Damon looked over at Abby who was pouring blood into a glass, "Umm…I'm somewhere trying to bring someone back who can help Bonnie, I just need some more time."
"I will try my best," Stefan answered.
"Don't just try, because although I've changed a little—if Bonnie dies, I will be very, very, very upset and I don't think very rationally when I'm upset," Damon ended the call before his brother could answer.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Bonnie sat on her bed moving the moonstone between her fingers. Her research on this opal stone had turned up empty. Whatever myth or story that centered around this precious stone that vampires were willing to kill for, was strictly based in oral history. She could feel the magic inside of it. Every time she touched it, a warm feeling encompassed her as if magic was entering her body and settling in her blood. "Perhaps we should put that in a safe place," Rudy leaned in her doorway.
"What exactly does it do, you've never said," Bonnie glanced up at him, "I can feel it's power, so it must be worth a lot to vampires."
"And werewolves," he added walking in.
"Werewolves."
"Abominations against nature," Rudy stated sitting down on Bonnie's bed.
"What does it do…right that wrong?"
"Not exactly."
"Then what exactly?"
"It gives them the power to control their destiny. Vampires would be able to walk around without any type of day walking spell. Werewolves would be able to control their transformations."
"So whatever fail safes that nature created to control them would go away?"
"Yes, if they are able to get their hands on the moonstone and ingest any part of it."
"Hmm," Bonnie studied it, "and that's why Katherine wants it? She has a ring or something that allows her to walk around during the day."
"She does, but everyone doesn't and if you want to be a leader of anything—you have to have something that people want, that moonstone is legend amongst supernaturals," Rudy explained.
"I see."
Rudy studied Bonnie for a few moments, "Pull back Bonnie. We have the moonstone, once the word gets out that the moonstone is not in Mystic Falls any longer—the vampires will move on."
"Daddy, Katherine attacked you. She almost killed you. You've trained me since I was 8 years old. Why should I allow her to live after what she's done? She deserves to die and she deserves to die horribly."
"But you don't," Rudy reached over and took Bonnie's hand, "I know that you are powerful, smart and good at what you do—but the Katherine thing is all about revenge and because of that revenge, you won't win against her."
"Where's the faith in your teachings Daddy?" Bonnie gave him a chilling smile looking directly into his eyes.
Rudy focused. There was something different in his daughter's eyes and it rattled him, "Bonnie."
"Daddy, you've taught me for years to be this huntress. To allow myself to embrace the huntress and witch inside of me and now I am."
"I see and is it because of what happened with Damon Salvatore?"
Bonnie's eyes flickered, "Damon Salvatore is the past Daddy."
"But is your fascination with male vampires in the past as well?" Rudy countered watching as she shook her head slowly, "I know about Damon and the others."
Her heart constricted in her chest and nausea set in. What exactly did her father mean and why did he think she wanted to discuss it? "The others?" Bonnie looked at him with a blank stare.
"Your boyfriends. I know that they were vampires," Rudy clarified.
Bonnie chuckled without thinking about it. The fact that he described the vampires as her 'boyfriends' was such a dad thing to do. They weren't her boyfriends. That was not a way to describe what they were. Damon was the only 'boyfriend' and she refused to even think about him that way anymore, "Daddy, whatever happened with me and any vampires—it's over. I am completely dedicated to the mission and part of that mission centers around Katherine."
"I am ordering you to let the Katherine thing go. We have the moonstone and that means, its time for us to leave Mystic Falls."
"Daddy, I am not letting the Katherine thing go and I am not leaving Mystic Falls until I am done."
"Are you defying an order?" Rudy asked.
"Daddy, I'm 18. I'm an adult and I know what happens to a huntress when she turns 18. She doesn't necessarily have to take orders from her Siveye."
Rudy physically reacted to Bonnie's word for him, "Are you saying that you don't want my guidance any more?"
"I'm saying that I make my own decisions now. What vampires deserve my wrath and which ones don't. Katherine crossed a line. She came into my home and tried to kill you. She wrecked my life and now, I'm going to end hers and no one can stop me. So Daddy, you are welcome to stay in Mystic Falls and train me, but I won't stop my focus."
Rudy saw the unflinching look on his daughter's face and he realized that she was far more powerful and focused than he could have ever imagine. However, before now, there was always a glimmer of playfulness and hope…and sometimes even regret. Now? He saw none of that. She was focused, almost robotic and there was no indication that she cared about what could possibly happen to her. This is who he had created, no matter if it was his goal or not. His daughter had become the huntress that he trained her to be and he needed to find a way to stop her.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
"So you've been quiet since I showed you why I can't go back to Mystic Falls," Abigail stared at Damon from across her living room.
"I'm usually quiet when I'm thinking how to get the hell out of a fucked up situation," he retorted.
"Bonnie has been trained for a very long time. Rudy has taught her to hate vampires, its probably instinctual at this point. I know the teachings and I know the risks."
"And you still allowed her to become one?" Damon questioned.
"It's part of her birthright. Whether I encouraged it or Rudy did, she would have been compelled to do it. It's in our mythology. It's ingrained in us. It runs through our veins."
"I see, so you were a huntress?"
"I was not. I was a witch…the huntress part of the Bennett line only comes to a select few."
"You were a witch?"
"Can't be both a vampire and a witch."
"The vampire thing? How did that happen?" Damon inquired.
Abigail shot him a look, "That is none of your business."
"Sounds like a love story gone wrong to me," he mumbled, "but at the end of the day, that doesn't matter to me. Rudy is out of the hospital, but apparently Bonnie is not taking any time to be overjoyed about that. She will die if she continues this, so I am begging you to consider helping me. Helping her. She needs your help. I'm sure that you can at the very least tone done the whole vampire thing for a few hours while you get your daughter to calm the hell down and listen to reason or at the very least, throw all of her energy into hating the fact that you left her."
Abigail blinked for a few seconds, "She's going to hate me."
"But at least she will still be alive," Damon stated.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Bonnie wasn't sure what happened after that conversation with her father, but Rudy retreated to the study and closed the door. She stood in the mirror studying her look. The tight black pants, the halter top, the make up, the hair, she looked different and she felt different. Some people say that you never truly know who you are, you never really get your true motivation in life until you experience pain…hurt. She had experienced all of that in a couple of weeks and she was tired of hurting, someone else needed to hurt now.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Damon thumbed through GQ waiting for the plane to depart. He texted Stefan and told him that he would be in Mystic Falls by midnight and he was bringing someone to the boarding house, so make sure that Elena was nowhere to be found.
"So are you going to be honest with me regarding your relationship with my daughter?" Abigail looked over at him.
"I'm not sure that's something you really want to know," he glanced over at her widening his eyes.
Abigail wrinkled her nose, "Oh my God…how old are you?" she asked disgusted by the mere thought of her daughter being with this vampire who looked to be at least in his 20's, which meant he was probably over 100 years old.
"Old enough and your daughter, in case you forgot is legal," Damon wiggled his eyebrow.
"You are disgusting."
"Maybe, but the fact that I tracked you down and tried my best to get you to come help her should tell you something."
"What? That you love her?" she asked mockingly.
"What I feel about Bonnie specifically doesn't matter, keeping her alive does."
"If you two are as close as you say you are, why aren't you in Mystic Falls trying to talk her out of whatever she's doing?"
"Because she hates me right now. Look, I was a bastard before I met Bonnie and the truth is, I may still be—but I'm not when it comes to her. I hurt her and I want to have a chance to make it up to her, but I can't do that if she's dead."
Abigail closed her eyes and breathed out, "I haven't seen her since she was a little girl. I've missed so much. My mother died and I wasn't there."
"All of that is true, but now you have a chance to make some of that up. You will never be able to do it if Bonnie dies and you did nothing."
Abigail looked over at the blue eyed vampire who dropped on her doorstep out of nowhere, "You're right and call me Abby."
"Thank you for coming with me Abby," Damon smiled at her feeling a sense of relief for the first time in days.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Bonnie entered the Scarlet Road and immediately, she felt a sense of coldness wrap around her body. The place was crawling with vampires and god knows what else. She quickly scanned the place for Enzo. She was a little early and that made she had time to get some liquid courage from the bar. Taking a seat at the bar, she ordered a shot of bourbon. The words were out of her mouth before she realized what she was doing. It was his drink. She had tasted it so many times on his tongue, that she started to like itself and had become accustomed to it. She hated this. He took off once he realized that she wouldn't be one of his play things and he hadn't looked back. She hated him and she wanted every trace of him out of her system. The bartender placed the glass in front of her and she quickly downed the shot.
"Big drink for such a little girl," a deep voice muttered from behind her.
"No drink is too big for me," she swiveled around to face a rather tall, husky vampire.
"Hmm…is that so, should I buy you another?" he raised an eyebrow.
"If the lady needs any drinks, I will buy them for her," Enzo appeared on the other side of the vampire.
Bonnie smirked, "No need to defend my honor Enzo, I think my friend here was just keeping me company until you came. Everything is fine," she slid off of the stool, "but he's paying for my one shot, so everything is perfect," she winked standing in front of Enzo who gave her a smile as he took in her clothes and the way she looked.
"Absolutely perfect," he mumbled as he took her hand looking over at the disappointed vampire and escorting Bonnie towards the stairs to one of the private VIP areas. As she walked up the stairs, she felt a sense of nervousness come over her. Her mouth became dry and she started to feel dizzy.
"You ok?" he asked as they entered one of the rooms that overlooked the bar.
"Umm…fine, I guess I shouldn't have taken that shot the first minute I got here," she looked around.
"I see…nervous?" he tilted his head to the side.
Bonnie knew her heart had begun to beat rapidly and she took a deep breath to slow it down. She was prepared for this. She could do this, "Well it's not every day that I meet someone like you," she smiled.
He smiled back at her. She wasn't sure if he believed her or not, but she didn't have time to wait any longer, she pulled him closer to her and kissed him. The kiss was deep, it was passionate and she put everything she possibly could into it, "You don't waste any time, do you?" he broke the kiss for a moment.
"Why wait?" she asked, "you brought me here for a reason?"
"So I did," he wrapped his arms around her lifting her up off of the floor and walked over to the couch placing her on it and straddling her.
Their tongues danced for a few moments as Bonnie closed her eyes—it was now or never. As Enzo kissed her neck, she moaned for a few moments and then she whispered in his ear, "Where's Katherine?"
He immediately stopped, "What?" he looked down at her.
"Katherine…where is she?" Bonnie asked.
Enzo sat up, looked at her and stood up from the couch, "Who are you?"
"Someone who wants to know where your bitch of a friend is, so if you just tell me where she is…I may just allow you to live," Bonnie stated standing up.
"You will allow me to live?" he chuckled, "wait…I know exactly who you are now, she said that I should look out for you."
"Did she now?" Bonnie smiled, "then she knows I'm coming."
"She told me to kill you on sight, if I saw you," he walked towards her.
Bonnie laughed, "I'm sure that's a lie, Katherine would never send an underling to do work she should do herself."
She watched as the black veins surfaced around his eyes, their whites of his eyes turned red and he sped over to her, grabbing her by the neck and pressed her into the wall, "You have no idea what I'm capable of," he growled at her.
"Tell me where she is!" Bonnie struggled under his grip trying to breathe.
"I wouldn't tell you shit. The only thing I am going to tell you is that I figured that you would be a good lay before I killed you."
"That's funny, you probably wouldn't have been and I've been with my share of vampires," Bonnie taunted him.
That statement cost him to lose it as he lifted her away from the wall and sent her crashing into the opposite wall. She heard something crack and felt the intense pain in her shoulder as she laid on the floor for a few moments trying to catch her breath. Before she had a chance to fully recover, Enzo was standing over her, "Look at the huntress now. Katherine said that you would put up a bigger fight," he teased as he straddled her with his fangs protruding from his gums, "we could have had so much fun, Bonnie," he stated regretfully.
"I'm sorry, I have to decline that offer despite how much fun it may be," Bonnie retrieved a stake from her bag stabbing Enzo in the eye causing blood to spray across her face, Enzo immediately crawled away from her clutching the stake as blood steadily streamed down his face. Bonnie popped up from the floor holding onto her shoulder, taking in Enzo fumbling around the room before she rushed out and down the stairs. Vampires turned from their conversations, stopped dancing and stopped drinking as they took in the young woman rushing towards the door with blood splatter all over her.
"She's a fucking huntress!" Enzo's voice came through almost muffled as she sprinted towards the door of bar. It was as if she was running in slow motion. She could see vampires starting to move closer to her as she rushed towards the door, she felt the cold hand of one of them touch her arm and it felt like frost appeared on her skin.
Bonnie turned to face the vampires staring down at her and concentrated, using every bit of energy she would muster. The vampires of all shades clutched their heads as they dropped to their knees crying out in agony. She slowly backed out of the door as she continued to cause the hundreds of blood vessels in the bar to burst in the vampires' heads. She felt the blood trickle from her nose and her body began to tremble as she flicked a wrist causing her car to start. Rushing to the car, she got inside and released the hold she had on the vampires. The pain in her own head drummed up to a steady throb as she started the car.
"Somehow, I don't think you made many friends in there tonight," a voice quipped from the backseat.
She immediately went to her bag retrieving another stake, but her wrist was caught by a hand wearing a familiar ring, "I'm not an enemy."
"Who says?" Bonnie asked as she stared back into Stefan's eyes which were dancing with amusement.
"I'm going to advise you to start this car before whatever you did to those vampires wears off…and you may want to wipe your nose," he stated handing her a cloth, "and I will drive too."
"I don't want or need your help."
"Maybe not, but I'm here anyway. Let me drive, I can drive faster than you."
"How do you know, you've never driven with me before," Bonnie narrowed her eyes as she moved over to the passenger side and Stefan moved up to the driver's seat.
He looked over at her and smiled, "Trust me," he assured her as he peeled out of the parking space and sped away from the bar.
They rode in silence for a few moments and then he broke the silence, "What did you do to those vampires back there?"
"I gave them mini brain aneurysms over and over again," Bonnie rubbed her head, "how in the hell didn't it happen to you?"
"I wasn't inside," he replied.
"And why were you even here?" she asked.
"Because you were."
"Seriously?" she rolled her eyes, "are you stalking me out of some kind of allegiance to your brother or is it because of guilt?"
"A little bit of both," Stefan shrugged.
"I don't need your help or your stalking. I'm fine. I can handle myself."
"So I've heard."
"I believe you know exactly how skilled I am, how's the shoulder wound healing?" Bonnie narrowed her eyes at him.
Stefan chuckled, "Cute. So what were you doing in there?"
"Minding my business."
"Ok."
Bonnie sat in the passenger seat, with her shoulder throbbing and her mind racing. She turned to Stefan and let her it rip, "You know, your brother is a coward. If he wants to know what I'm doing or who I'm doing, he could just ask. He ran away. After being found out for the liar that he is, he took off instead of facing the music. He lied to me. He was part of the reason for my Gram's death along with you and Elena…"
"I'm sorry Bonnie. It was selfish of us to ask Sheila to help us. If we knew what would have happened…"
"If you knew, you would have backed off? Damon would have killed Elena and you all would have sung kumbaya?" Bonnie remarked sarcastically, "the fact that you all asked my Grandmother to perform a spell that killed her is one thing, but the fact that you all covered it up…that's what disgusts me."
"Bonnie, I can't undo the damage that was done. All I can do is make up for it now. I'm sorry and I know that is just not enough at the moment."
"Damn right."
"But I know that one thing Damon is not is a coward. He didn't run away from you, believe me when I say that."
Bonnie sucked her teeth and rolled her eyes looking out of the window.
"You could have been killed in there," Stefan informed her was they moved towards the highway.
Bonnie rolled her eyes, "A couple of vampires don't scare me."
"So you've proven," Stefan snorted.
"Look, can you just drive me home without the conversation," she snapped.
"Ok but just one more question…"
"What?" she asked looking over.
"What's the nosebleed about?"
She mumbled something intelligible.
"What?" Stefan asked leaning closer.
Bonnie folded her arms and looked over at him, "I said...I don't know, it's never happened before."
"Too much magic being used?" he suggested.
"I don't know, are you a witch doctor now?" Bonnie sniped.
Stefan chuckled, "Now, I understand what my brother sees in you, you two have a few things in common."
"Would you like a brain aneurysm too?" she offered.
"I'm driving and I don't think you want to die tonight," Stefan commented.
Bonnie sat back in the seat and the pain from her shoulder hit her so fiercely that tears instantly appeared in her eyes. She balled up her fists and hit the dashboard.
"I can give you some blood," Stefan stated.
"I don't…want…any…blood," she breathed heavily, "just take me to your house, I can take care of my shoulder there—but then I'm leaving."
"Whatever you want," Stefan turned down the road towards the boarding house.
Soo Bonnie is on a destructive path, but Abby's on her way. Will that calm Bonnie or bring her to a breaking point?
Bonnie's harmed Katherine's boy toy Enzo, she will surely be out for blood now.
It's BACK…please show your love!
