"Hope, you need to see this, there's been an attack at the school!" a frantic Lizzie exclaimed as Hope was having her breakfast in the gardens.
Hope nodded to the two other supernatural beings she was having breakfast with before getting up to leave with Lizzie.
"You can't create a panic like that Lizzie, there's always some kind of attack on the school, did you do a glamour and repair spell to put it back together?" Hope asked Lizzie as they were walking towards the chateau.
Lizzie shook her head annoyed as she gave Hope her phone to show security footage of the OWIA attacking the school.
This caused Hope to stop in her tracks as she was watching the scene, knowing she had sent Emeline and her friends to the school.
"This doesn't make sense," Hope said out loud to herself.
"Do you think Sabre went to the school? I don't know how she would've been let in, did Bonnie tell you that there would be an attack there? Also, why is it taking so long for them to come back?" Lizzie asked, trying to decipher Hope's expression.
"I'll go by the school, I'll clean everything up and head back here, Lizzie, don't show anyone else this, don't show Caroline…I mean it" Hope handed Lizzie's phone back to her and gave her a stern look before heading back into the chateau.

"He went to her didn't he," Emeline said as a statement rather than a question to Stefan as they were headed back to the hotel.
"Allegedly" Stefan responded with a stern look.
"You don't have to dance around the subject with me you know, I'm not a young girl anymore, I know how complex love can be, I'm not naïve to the fact that someone can have more than one great love of a lifetime" Emeline continued as they continued to walk ahead.
Stefan chuckled.
"You have no idea" Stefan shot her a smirk as he chuckled to himself.
"You're hungry, you don't have to hide that either, you won't hurt me or lose control Stefan, that part of you is buried deep away, I can sense it, but I'm not worried about it" Emeline stopped walking to turn and look at Stefan who stopped in response and sighed.
"I appreciate your concern… and your support, but I'm not willing to take those risks in this life, especially not with Bonnie's daughter" Stefan gave Emeline a warm smile before they both turned to continue walking.
"You sound like so many of the guys I've tried to date, they're either using me to get to my mom, as if they had a chance, or they're scared of her" Emeline rolled her eyes at the different memories of those instances.
"She's built quite a life for herself, as well as a reputation I've noticed, I won't lie and say that she didn't terrify me multiple times back in the day, I'll never forgive myself for how I've contributed to her pain, to all of theirs" Stefan winced remembering the many times Bonnie, Caroline, and Elena had to forgive Stefan.
"She loves you Stefan, she's always sensed your true intentions, you're one of the reasons why she's sympathetic to vampires," Emeline said as she smiled to herself remembering the different bedtime stories Bonnie would tell her, about her time in Mystic Falls.
"Really, I would've thought it would be Caroline or even Damon that would make her consider giving vampires a chance" Stefan smiled to himself, Emeline giggled at the statement.
"Aunt Caroline, no offense, is a freak of nature, she may be a vampire, but she is so controlled that sometimes you forget until she pops open a blood bag, and Damon if it was Damon alone, she would've written off all vampires a long time ago" Emeline continued making both her and Stefan laugh.
"Stefan" Emeline said in a more serious tone.
"Yes?" Stefan responded.
Emeline incanted a spell that made them invisible, Emeline put up a finger to Stefan's mouth and shook her head to let him know to not make a sound.
A group of people all dressed in black were murmuring to each other, Stefan caught the tail end of the conversation being about the Bennett's being in London, which meant France was vulnerable to another attack. As soon as the group of people were out of earshot, Emeline released the spell and shared an angry and concerned look with Stefan.
"Your friend, what did she tell you, what did you find out," Stefan asked with a stern tone.
"She knows it was me who took down Hells Bells, she didn't know nor recognize you and Damon, she said she would keep people off my scent but that's it, she didn't know where the coven leader was, just that she has eyes everywhere," Emeline responded as she folded her arms to her chest.
"Is she a part of their group?" Stefan asked.
"No, she may not like the rules and regulations my mom and the coven leaders have put in place, but that doesn't mean she'd follow someone who would willingly attack and kill other witches because of some ancient, imprisoned witch" Emeline explained.
"Adonis" Stefan stated as he let out a deep breath, Emeline nodded.
Stefan looked around the area and then quickly placed his arm around Emeline as they made their way safely back to the hotel.

Adonis made his way into the abandoned mansion, the different followers there bowed to him in shock, knowing immediately who he was as they whispered amongst themselves. Adonis looked around at the many people inside the castle-like mansion, where a throne was waiting for him.
"Welcome back, my King" Isolda bowed to Adonis, Adonis turned to face her and placed his hand on her chin to bring her up to look at him.
"King..hmm" Adonis said curiously.
"You'll bring us to a new age, to finish what you started so long ago, there will be no one to rule this Earth but you" Isolda continued.
"Yes, much to be discussed, Sabre..Sabre won't be too happy with me, however, I did her a favor from what I saw, before I killed her brother" Adonis smiled to himself and at the shocked Isolda and other followers nearby in earshot of the conversation.
"I won't get far without her, in the meantime, show me everything you know and have done thus far" Adonis ordered. Isolda nodded and led him to their war planning room.

"Is this a joke?" Bonnie asked Katherine and Kenji, not taking her eyes on the familiar person in front of her.
"If it was, it wouldn't be funny, " An annoyed Katherine stated.
Damon tried to take another step forward, but Bonnie froze his movement with her hand.
"Leave," Bonnie said still fixated on Damon.
Kenji and Katherine looked at each other and then at Bonnie, unsure who she was talking to.
Bonnie turned her head slightly to Katherine and raised a single eyebrow at her which told Katherine what she needed to know. Katherine looked at Damon who was fixated on Bonnie, and then Bonnie who was fixated on Damon. Katherine then looked at Kenji and gestured for him to leave the penthouse with her. After they left Bonnie let go of the hold she had on Damon.
"Bonnie –" Damon continued before Bonnie interjected.
"No," Bonnie said in a serious tone.
"This has to be some sick and twisted joke and I'm not falling for it" Bonnie continued before walking back to the bar cart to pour more bourbon in her glass. Damon still stood in the same spot eyeing her, trying to read her emotions.
"I've thought that multiple times as a human, as a vampire, and as a human again, even a little after" Damon recounted still watching Bonnie's every move.
"Okay, I'll bite, how," Bonnie said almost seemingly uninterested.
"Emily" Damon said eyeing the grip Bonnie had on her glass of bourbon.
Bonnie laughed at that statement, even though it was Bonnie being facetious, Damon melted at the sight of her smiling and still couldn't believe he was hearing her voice.
"So, if you are real, and Emily sent you…allegedly, was it because they think I needed help? I needed you of all people to bring me back from the ledge?" Bonnie asked taking a sip of her bourbon, hesitant to step near him.
"No, your daughter," Damon said softly eyeing her up and down, not expecting that their reunion would have been an interrogation.
Bonnie closed her eyes and shook her head before opening them again.
"Okay, then where is she?" Bonnie asked, still distrusting that Damon was physically there, not that she cared too much at the moment.
"With Stefan, she's safe" Damon continued still trying to read Bonnie.
"Oh, this is too good, listen, did Katherine put you up to this? Or are you a newbie witch testing out a glamour spell? I'm not turning it back on, and I know my daughter is safe because I can sense it, I love the creativity though, you've got the right year too, weird, I thought Damon was the hottest in his thirties" Bonnie said with a smile as she finally stepped near him.
"Turn it back on?" Damon thought to himself, confused.
"You can leave now, and if you see Katherine, tell her I'm continuing on without her..help," Bonnie said as she walked past Damon and headed to the hallway where her bedroom was, before she could fully walk past him he grabbed her wrist, which caused her to drop her bourbon on the floor, the moment he made contact with her skin, her entire body felt like it was electrified, and she could feel her emotions bursting at the seams.
Damon swung her into him, in a tight warm embrace.
"I'm not leaving and I'm not letting you go Bonnie," Damon said as he wrapped his arms around her and placed his head against hers.
Bonnie felt paralyzed as her brain became clouded with all her emotions at once.
"Damon..." Bonnie said as her voice began to shake as she felt the sobs rising into her throat.
"No...no..NO" Bonnie exclaimed as she wiggled out of Damon's embrace and she pushed him away from her with her hands, as she mentally fought back against her emotions.
Before Damon could get a word out, Bonnie looked him in the eyes with contempt before apparating out of the penthouse.
Katherine stayed on the other side of the door with her ear against it trying to listen in on the reunion before out of nowhere Kenji apparated from the hallway, causing Katherine to jump from the door as she looked around her to see what happened.
"What just happened" Katherine said out loud to herself as she opened the door back up with her key card.
Once she opened the door, she spotted Damon sitting on the floor against the floor to ceiling window with a glass of bourbon and a tear rolling down his face.
Katherine walked over and grabbed a glass from the bar cart and made her way to the window to sit next to Damon. Katherine grabbed the bottle of bourbon off the floor and poured some into her cup, and then closed her eyes at the taste of it.
"You didn't tell me you were in love with her," Katherine asked as she looked ahead into the room.
Damon closed his eyes and placed the back of his head against the window.
"I'm saying this because I wouldn't have brought you if I knew," Katherine said as she turned her head to look at Damon. Damon opened his eyes and looked at Katherine out the sides of his eyes, before looking back up at the ceiling. Katherine shook her head and rolled her eyes before getting up to sit in front of Damon as she forced him to look at her.
"Are you dumb? Or are you an idiot?" Katherine questioned, looking intently into Damon's blue eyes trying to find a reason.
"Really? Those are my choices?" Damon finally responded.
"What did you think she would do Damon, run into your arms, and you two would run off into the sunset happily ever after?" Katherine inquired. Damon resonated with her statement before scowling as he looked at the bourbon in his cup, thinking that it would be more of a brisk walk rather than a run.
"I don't know the facts, but I know enough to know that one, her husband is dead, and two, there's a real danger out there and she has to be on her A-game to fight it" Katherine reasoned with Damon.
"You only care because she's your one–way ticket out of the hell you made for yourself" Damon responded as he finally looked her in the eyes.
"Okay, you're not wrong, however, I've grown and learned from my past mistakes, and if she's smart, which she is, she won't allow you to infect her brain, when did it start by the way – I'm genuinely curious," Katherine asked with a smirk.
Damon didn't answer, which made Katherine ponder the situation.
Katherine let out a chuckle before getting up to look out the window. Katherine let out a big sigh as she took in the lights of London at night.
"You weren't satisfied with the less hot version of me, so you wanted her best friend too, wow Damon, we're more alike than you think" Katherine smiled to herself as she turned around and placed her back against the cool window.
Damon vamp sped and grabbed Katherine by her neck.
"I'm nothing like you," Damon said as he glared into Katherine's eyes taking in the features she shared with his dead wife. Damon took his hand off Katherine's throat. Katherine then rubbed her neck pleased that she could still get under his skin.
"I don't blame you, Damon, Bonnie is intoxicating…when she's not being a tired predictable martyr that is..look, I'll help you find her if you can promise me something," Katherine asked as she walked up behind Damon.
"What" Damon responded unamused.
"No Stefan, no Scooby gang, just me and you" Katherine continued, Damon turned around to look at her.
"Why, what's your motive" Damon narrowed his eyes at Katherine.
"It's us two who understand her the most, she doesn't need to feel guilty for anything she's done or will do, she's shut down her emotions, and we don't need Stefan guilt-tripping her or anyone else who thinks she's the same Bonnie" Katherine crossed her arms and a raised an eyebrow up at Damon.
Damon stood there and thought about what she was saying, annoyed that it made sense.
"Let's get one thing straight" Damon ordered while furrowing his eyebrows.
Katherine cocked her head to the side in response.
"This" Damon said wagging his two fingers between them,
"Is NOT a thing, will never be a thing, and if you touch Bonnie in any way again that I don't approve of, I will take so much joy in making sure you don't die, but live in such painful agony that you will be begging to be desiccated in a tomb" Damon's eyes, as blue as they were could've burned Katherine if they had the power to do so.
"Wow, I've been out of the game for a while," Katherine said as she stepped past Damon towards the kitchen island.
"Proud of you though, getting over me and realizing that Elena was not the sun and the moon you and that small, pathetic town made her out to be…honestly makes up for not all... but some of the shit you put me through in the name of an obsessive, toxic, whiny love," Katherine said as she grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl on the kitchen counter and took a large bite out of it.
Damon walked over and grabbed the apple from Katherine's hand and took a bite of it as well.
"I'll tell you a secret since you're an evil bitch and won't judge me for it" Damon smirked, glad to finally get his admission off his chest, Katherine narrowed her eyes at him.
"If Stefan, the brooding martyr hadn't turned me human, I would've never done it, I was never actually going to take the cure at the end of the day, I just wanted to prove everyone wrong, maybe even myself that I wanted to be human. But this..I missed this, feeling like a god, doing whatever I want, when I want" Damon said as he stepped closer to Katherine, placing the apple up to her mouth to have her take another bite of it, Katherine looked up at him as she took a bite, wondering what his next move was going to be.
"I'm a coward, I knew Elena was the best I was going to get, but if I knew what I know now" Damon took the apple from Katherine and placed it on the counter, and grabbed a piece of her hair to place it behind her ear, carefully grazing her neck in the process causing Katherine to breathe faster in anticipation as Damon now softly held her face and brought his mouth to her ear.
"I would've let you do whatever your plans were with her because I'd be too occupied burying myself in Bonnie every minute of every single day, I would've kept her full of my blood in hopes of one day she'd be mine forever, I'm curious what parts of her did you get to enjoy" Damon said close to the skin underneath Katherine's ear, breathing her in, noticing that Katherine was enjoying this turn of events.
Katherine grabbed Damon's waist and turned her head slightly to look at him.
"Everywhere" Katherine whispered.
"Mmm did she enjoy it" Damon grabbed and held both sides of Katherine's head to make her look at him.
"You should know, I'm quite good with my tongue," Katherine said softly, Damon looked at her with a devilish grin before he quickly snapped her neck. As Katherine's body fell to the ground Damon scowled at her and walked over to her to head to a bedroom to get some rest in before it was time to find Bonnie.

"What did you learn" Bonnie ordered Kenji with a facial expression that showed indifference.
"You can't just make me your errand boy and use me how you please Bonnie" Kenji retorted, not liking the power dynamic at play.
"Okay," Bonnie said calmly before using her hand to bring him to his knees, Kenji grunted on his way down trying to fight the magical pull.
Bonnie walked toward him and placed her hands on the side of his head, using her magic to look into his brain to gather the information for herself as he was writhing in pain with her dissecting his mind.
Bonnie's eyes glowed as she was using her magic to take in what she was seeing, filtering through the different memories before she caught one that intrigued her, from the club in London.
"Washington, you need to let them know, she knows and she's coming" Kenji quietly explained to one of his old friends.
"Have you heard from Sabre? There hasn't been much word on the aftermath, it's been pretty quiet" Henry stated.
"No, and there's no way I'd be able to reach her now, if her brother and Bonnie aren't on good terms, she's probably trying to get him to understand where she's coming from. I'm not getting involved with no cult shit though, and if Bonnie wins this, there's no way she'll go easy on any of us, Sabre said the daughter is hands off, but if we can get her to use as lev-" Before Bonnie finished the rest of Kenji's memory she let go and Kenji immediately fell over gripping his head and groaning.
"Bonnie I wasn't trying to hurt you I swear, I would've never hurt your daughter, but we don't need to be ruled by a bunch of witches, we can rule this world, together" Kenji pleaded which made Bonnie laugh.
Bonnie quickly punctured Kenji's chest with the help of her magic holding onto his heart as he screamed.
"I tried I really tried, but a lot of you are just as dumb and naïve as humans, and it's what's going to get you, Sabre and everyone else killed, I don't need to rule anything, my rule is implied," Bonnie said with her face close to Kenji's, reveling in his pained and frightened expression.
Bonnie quickly ripped his heart out of his chest and watched as he fell over like a dead fish. Bonnie, still holding his heart, held it up to her eyesight, set it on fire and plopped it on the ground as the abandoned hotel room caught on fire. Bonnie looked at the journals Damon wrote her, journals she still hadn't finished before igniting those on fire too.
Bonnie calmly made her way into the depths of Kyoto to head to where Kenji and his clan of self-important vampires hung around. Usually, in times like this when it was brought to Bonnie and the two other coven leaders' attention that supernatural beings were conspiring against each other they would be tried in front of the counsel of the different supernatural leaders before being punished with however they saw fit, as humanely as possible. This helped to create a sense of order in the supernatural world, and a camaraderie among the different groups for survival and allies should a big battle inevitably come. Bonnie could admit that the dream Sophia had that she was trying to honor may have been just that, a dream, things worked for a while and were safe for a while, but clearly among the loyal there were betrayals that cost the lives of some of Bonnie's most favorite and loyal people.
Bonnie, using her magic, gave herself a cloak and a mask, only making her eyes visible as she headed into Kenji's stomping grounds. She didn't nor should she care about the rules she herself put in place; she would be damned if anyone used her daughter as bait like she had been used so many times before.
Bonnie walked into the unassuming bar, walking past the onlookers trying to figure out who she was. Once she made it into the secret back door in the back of the bar and saw the different vampires and warlocks in there, drinking, gambling, and feeding on compelled zombie-eyed humans, she took off her hood and her mask revealing her long brown hair braided into two French braids and full lips, the room almost went silent as they looked at her, knowing exactly who she was.
Bonnie slowly made her way to the bar, letting her black-heeled booties hit the concrete floor, she had spelled herself into a black tight catsuit, noticing all the different looks and murmurs about her appearing in the bar.
"Bourbon, neat," Bonnie said to the bartender who was eyeing her up and down, not listening to her order.
"Wow, what does a girl have to do to get a drink around here" Bonnie sarcastically asked.
"Tough crowd" Bonnie muttered to herself as everyone was still staring at her presence.
Bonnie with her magic brought the bottle of bourbon to her hand, once she had it in hand, she stood up with it and took a gulp, and hopped up to sit on the bar.
"Okay, things are weird, the vibes are off, noted" Bonnie said addressing the crowd of 15, two people had headed for the door.
"Oh you won't get past that door so I wouldn't try" Bonnie said with a smile as she was able to keep it shut with her magic, not letting anyone enter or leave.
"I heard there was an attack, one in France, so why are you here, and where's Kenji" a male patron had asked, others nodding along wanting to know the answer.
"Yes, an attack that the people in this specific room knew about, look I'm not sure what was promised to you and what wasn't but the worst mistake you can make is that I would follow the rules once it's personal because it is and I won't," Bonnie said calmly taking another swig.
"Where's Kenji" The patron asked again, in a defensive stance, the three warlocks in the room found that they couldn't speak to say any incantations.
"Before you say hi to him for me, the fact that any of you rejects thought you could lay your hand on my daughter and think I would let it slide, was the worst mistake you could ever make, go after me for all I care I know you'll lose, my daughter, you'll pay for that, and you'll also lose," Bonnie said as she hopped off the counter and all the people in the bar found themselves not able to breathe as they clawed at their throats. With a quick twist of Bonnie's free hand, she made the hearts of everyone in the bar explode.
"Washington" Bonnie said to herself before letting out a deep sigh and taking another sip of her bourbon.

Katherine poured a glass of her ice water on Damon's face causing him to wake up in a panic.
"While you were resting, I actually made myself useful, after you snapped my neck - thanks for that by the way, it was the perfect thing to remind me how much I despise you and why you'll always be the second-choice brother" Katherine snarked, holding the empty glass. Damon wiped his face and scowled at Katherine.
"At least I'm still a choice, the one man you ever truly loved died to make sure you suffered in hellfire and still would do it all over again given the chance" Damon hopped out of the bed to go to the kitchen to check for blood bags, Katherine followed.
"Our fave witch bitch made quite the stir back in Kyoto apparently" Katherine mentioned as she grabbed a blood bag from the fridge.
"Kyoto", Damon thought to himself and smiled to himself as he drank out of his blood bag, remembering that Kyoto was the place she admitted her feelings for him, and remembering how she felt, how she smelled, how she –
"Are you listening to anything I'm saying?" Katherine asked annoyed as she stepped directly into his line of sight.
"Nope" Damon responded before throwing his blood bag in the trash.
Katherine rolled her eyes and groaned.
"Damon, she attacked a well-known bar for supernaturals, there were no survivors, except for her apparently, I mean they weren't the best group of people but she needs to be cleaner about her kills at least" Katherine explained, worried that Bonnie will get herself killed if she walks into a situation unprepared, leaving Katherine to live a life hoping she won't die due to not fulfilling her end of the deal to Emily.
"That's my girl" Damon smiled to himself again, almost proud of Bonnie, knowing she had her reasons, emotions off or on.
Damon immediately heard a loud ringing in his ear causing him to hold onto the sides of his head due to the pain he was experiencing.
Katherine stood confused wondering what was going on, but not caring enough to ask Damon if he was okay.
BBBB
"I'm trying as hard as I possibly can okay!" Emeline exclaimed as she was trying to track Damon now that the whole gang was back.
"You need to channel something or someone stronger than me!" Ash exclaimed before quickly glancing over to Stefan.
"You are his brother, flesh and blood, you're up Stefan!" Lana ordered as she patted Stefan on the back.
Stefan nodded before going toward Emeline.
"What do I need to do" Stefan asked looking at the stressed Emeline and Ash.
"Lay down in front of me, I need to go over your heart I think" Emeline nervously pointed to the floor in front of her, Eamon rolled his eyes.
"Will this hurt?" Stefan asked.
"You're an invincible original Stefan, don't be a baby!" Lexi interjected.
Emeline shot Lexi a smile before turning her attention to Stefan. Emeline placed her hands over Stefan's heart, incanting a spell with Ash, using Stefan as a vessel to help connect to Damon.
The ringing in Damon's ear finally stopped as he saw an apparition of Emeline in front of her.
"Uncle Damon, where are you? Is my mom with you? Are you okay?" Emeline frantically asked, Damon still looking at her confused as to how, what, and why this was happening.
"Were you trying to kill me?" Damon asked half-jokingly.
"I'm just super rusty at this, I mean we have high-tech communication devices for a reason, anyway can you answer like one of my questions?" Emeline asked.
"I'm at your mom's penthouse, downtown, I'm fine, she's not here, she is, however, on an eat, pray, kill bill journey" Damon stated.
"What?" Emeline asked, not understanding the reference.
"Forget it, here's the address" Damon interjected prior to giving the address for Emeline.
BBBB
After everyone showed up to the penthouse suite, Lana almost immediately jumped at the sight of Katherine.
"Grandma El-"Lana started before Katherine gave her a confused look.
"Eww, don't ever direct that term to me again, are you what, Damon's granddaughter?" Katherine asked genuinely curious at all the turn of events that happened after her death.
Lana laughed.
"Not by blood, Jeremy Gilbert is my grandpa" Lana said, now intrigued at finally meeting one of Elena's doppelgangers she learned about.
"Weird" Katherine said before turning her attention to Lexi, who was shooting her daggers across the group, Katherine shrugged and took in the conversation happening around her.
"Katherine, wow I can't believe I finally get to meet you" Emeline looked Katherine up and down, amazed at how much she looked like Elena when she was younger from the pictures Emeline had seen.
"Bonnie's daughter, wow definitely a Bennett" Katherine took in Emeline's features that reminded her so much of the Bennett witches she met in her previous life.
"I wouldn't engage with her, the only thing you'll find and encounter is trouble and regret" Stefan interjected as he grabbed Emeline by the shoulder and pulled her away from Katherine, who scowled at the statement.
"So, where's Bonnie?" Ash asked, eyeing Damon and Katherine, who looked at each other and then at Ash.
"She turned her emotions off, didn't even know that was possible for a witch, but she left shortly after we got here" Damon explained, Lexi snorted and tried to stifle her laugh, Damon shot her a look.
"I'm sorry, it's just all this anticipation and at the sight of you she just leaves, and if her humanity or whatever is off, you're not the emotional trigger you thought you were" Lexi explained trying to not make Damon feel too bad, but still found the situation amusing.
"That's not exactly how it went, she started to come back and then pushed him away and left with Kenji" Katherine defended Damon begrudgingly. Lana, Emeline, and Ash all looked at each other at this information.
"Kenji, from Japan?" Eamon asked, everyone turned to look at him.
Katherine nodded.
"I might know where she went, he runs with this group of vampires and warlocks, not the best crowd, but they're good at what they do, unfortunately," Eamon continued.
"Can you and Ash go check it out? I'm sure Em can send you there" Lana asked folding her arms.
Eamon and Ash looked at Emeline who nodded.
"Okay, thirty minutes, I'm bringing you both back if it takes any longer" Emeline continued.
Emeline then walked up to both Eamon and Ash, and incanted a spell that sent them to Kyoto.
"So..emotional trigger? I've heard the story of you two being enemies and then best friends, but no offense, if I could turn off my humanity, the last person I'd want to see dead or alive is someone to annoyingly remind me that what I'm doing is not me" Lana stated as she crossed her arms and leaned against a wall, taking in Damon's expression.
Emeline looked at Lana and then at Damon and slightly frowned.
"Lana just drop it" Emeline ordered in her direction.
Lana let out a deep sigh and left it alone.
"The focus is not to save Bonnie from herself, she's a big girl, let Damon and I take care of that, the rest of you needs to find that coven and their leader" Katherine ordered.
"Also, can you not track her?" Katherine turned her attention to Emeline.
"No, I've tried, she's too powerful and has me psychically blocked, it's nothing new though, she tries to protect me from the not-fun stuff of this world, she'd be furious if she knew I wasn't back home, protected" Emeline looked down at the floor, a nervous habit she did when she felt guilty of something she had done.
Stefan and Damon both looked at each other and then headed out of the room together to the bedroom Damon was staying in.
"What happened Damon" Stefan asked as Damon shut the door behind him.
"She didn't believe it was really me, not until she touched me, I felt it and I know she did too, but it wasn't enough, it feels like I've been dead for centuries, but for her, it wasn't that long ago" Damon ran his head through his hair thinking about how different time felt when he found peace.
"Do you think she's upset with you?" Stefan asked, genuinely curious.
"Possibly, who isn't, and who hasn't been once or twice" Damon responded which made Stefan let out a chuckle.
"It's messy Damon, her husband died, and at the same time, probably feeling how much she was in love with you for years all at once, it's a lot to process, to realize something as big as that, she watched you have a family, she made a family, she said vows to a person she probably wouldn't have because of how much she loves you, and to not hear what happened to her from you directly face to face, must be a lot. It's guilt, shame, sadness, and anger all at once, I wouldn't want to feel it either, not with the threats coming" Stefan empathetically explained as he thought about the years he wasted before he and Caroline got married and then died shortly after.
"I tried Stefan, you know I tried, what would you have wanted me to do, leave Elena with a baby on the way and fight against an entire line of hypocritical, toxic ancestors so that Bonnie can break the spell? So that it would not be a possibility for you to have a second chance because there wouldn't be a world to come back to? You ruined your future with Elena, because of the hold Klaus had on you, you left Caroline to play hide and seek with your ex-girlfriend, afraid you would bring Caroline harm, I would rather be a mediocre husband to Elena than someone who would inevitably bring Bonnie so much pain" Damon found himself getting defensive, genuinely not knowing what he could have done as a vulnerable human, not being able to protect himself or Bonnie, Stefan stood there with a broody expression, agreeing with some of what Damon said.
"Okay, point made…look, Damon, I support you, I just don't want you to get hurt if things don't go the way you expected them to" Stefan placed a hand on Damon's shoulder and squeezed it. Shortly after they both turned around as they heard Emeline yell that Ash and Eamon were back.
Damon and Stefan quickly left the room and headed into the living room where everyone was gathered. They noted the expressions on Ash's and Eamon's faces.
"Well…let's just say supernatural crime in Kyoto has been eradicated," Ash said as she pursed her lips together in a tight line as she recounted what she saw.
"Wait, they're all dead? Did she kill them?" Lana asked, looking between both Eamon and Ash.
"Exploding heart, judging by the blood from their eyes, nose, and mouth" Eamon recounted.
"She, she wouldn't kill them, not without very good reason or approval from the council" Emeline interjected after shaking her head.
Lexi, Stefan, Damon, and Katherine looked all between each other as if there was an unsaid agreement that they'd all killed for less, sometimes out of boredom.
"Well, if there's one thing I know, they've had it coming, they've been preying on the humans in that town for years," Lana stated, hoping to make Emeline feel better about the turn of events.
"So here's the plan, we find the coven off the lead the bartender gave Stefan and Damon as quickly as possible so we can get you guys back home to France before Bonnie realizes you all had left, no one really knows that your dad is dead, so..we use that to our advantage." Lexi looked at the group to see if they were all in agreement.
"Some will think they broke up because of his sister, that's the story she made up when we met with Kenji" Katherine piggybacked off of Lexi's plan, realizing that she never got to know Kenji before his inevitable death, "Oh well", she thought, it was fun while it lasted.
"If people believe that then they're dumber than I give them credit for," Emeline said crossing her arms.
"Don't underestimate how idiotic people can be when they choose what they want to believe, regardless of the many holes in the story that's been told, these two are prime examples" Katherine said as she turned her head towards Damon and Stefan and shot them a look before looking back at the group.
"Okay… you all will be team London Heretic coven, this one and I are on Bad Bonnie Bennett witch watch, and no, no wiggle room or room for discussion" Damon ordered ignoring the annoyed expression from his brother and Katherine's smirk.
"You don't even know where she is" Lexi folded her arms as she turned slightly to face Damon.
"Actually, we might know" Ash looked at Eamon who nodded.
"One of the people dead was someone that had been on our radar for a while, comes from a coven of witches somewhere outside of Seattle, a coven that never fully assimilated to the new rules that were put in place, this means that we know of at least three covens working together, one here, in London, one now formerly in Kyoto and one in Washington. If Bonnie didn't come back to London, she would go to Washington" Eamon stated confident in the information he was sharing.
"Perfect, there's more of us than just her, I want to bring the Heretic to France, I want to show my mom she can trust me with things like this" Emeline looked around at the people in the room to see if they were okay with their plans.
"If you need me brother, send me a signal," Stefan said to Damon, not wanting to also vocalize how he also wishes him luck with Bonnie in front of everyone.
Damon nodded at Stefan and looked at Emeline.
"I don't know where she would go in Washington, I'm sorry, I'm not sure where to send you" Emeline stated.
"I might have an old contact there if they're still alive…send us to rattlesnake lake" Katherine looked up at Damon who shrugged slightly.
After talks about strategy and Lana handing out high-tech communication devices worn around the wrist given to her by Jeremy, Emeline incanted a spell to send Damon and Katherine to Washington, after Katherine raided the wardrobe at the penthouse for acceptable hiking attire.

Bonnie sat by the lake in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and laid down to close her eyes, finding comfort surrounded by the earth around her, it had been about a day since the events of Kyoto and Bonnie knew she needed time to let her body rest. As powerful as Bonnie is, she still needed time to recharge. Bonnie was drifting to sleep under the shaded sun, her mind became relaxed, allowing a visitor to reach her.
"My love," Bastien said as he laid down next to her after placing a kiss on her forehead. He couldn't feel the world around him, but he could still feel her.
Bonnie slowly opened her eyes and turned her head slightly to the side to take in Bastien's features.
"I don't regret anything Bast, and I don't plan on slowing down or taking it easy on the people who contributed to your death, your mothers, and conspiring against mine and our daughter's life," Bonnie said with fire behind her words as she looked up into the tall tree she was laying under.
"I know, that's not what I'm coming to you about" Bastien stated looking up into the trees as well.
"You need to process everything that's happened before you continue, humanity off or not, I know you won't go easy on your enemies, but without processing everything, and continuing down this path, you're poisoning yourself Bonnie" Bastien sat up against the tree as he looked onto the lake, with Bonnie following suit.
Bonnie was still silent, just taking in Bastien's safe, familiar voice and the sounds of the wind hitting the trees.
"We almost lost all of this, the path humans we're going down, and now the Earth is rebuilding itself, we were able to combine our magic, with the magic of the human mind, and we're thriving again" Bonnie recounted, remembering how she was able to bring so many supernatural beings together, and some humans who were allowed to know of that world to help heal the land they live on.
"It worked Bast, everything worked and there was peace, real peace for a moment, and now it's our kind that wants to destroy everything we built" Bonnie continued.
"There will always be conflict Bonnie, what matters is who we are during it, and what kind of legacy will we leave behind, no death dying for the betterment of humanity will be a death wasted, with that being said, I know what you have to do and why, I don't like it, but I know our world…your world, is at a tipping point, and war is coming, I just.. need you to be you, I need you to feel, to understand the whys behind your next moves, it's what will keep you safe, strong, and ready, it's what will keep our daughter safe my love, she's inherited the best parts of us, and some of the worst, she will need you" Bastien pulled Bonnie's head onto his shoulder. Bonnie closed her eyes and allowed herself to slowly start to feel as tears welled up in her eyes.
"I haven't talked to her yet, not since you died, I was hoping I would get the heavy stuff out of the way before going back home" Bonnie's voice began to shake.
"She's safe, she knows and understands, and she'll be waiting for you with open arms and so much love, I've been able to keep my eye on her, she's much like you and won't sit around while waiting to be saved, so don't be mad at her for trying to help where she can, she's got a lot of help surrounding her right now too" Bastien smiled as he laid his head onto Bonnies.
"Damon, oh my god, and Stefan" Bonnie said as she widened her eyes in shock.
"I saw him Bast he was real, I felt him, and I left him" Bonnie began to cry, Bastien lifted his head up to kiss Bonnie's forehead as he rubbed her back.
"I'm so mad at him Bast, I'm so mad at myself," Bonnie said trying to regain her composure. She was upset, feeling as if he didn't fight for her hard enough like she'd seen him do for Elena and Katherine, and mad at herself for allowing her brain to be manipulated all those years.
"I know, but I'll be mad at you both if you both keep standing in your own way, he loves you Bon, more than I think he can even comprehend…you're the love of my life Bonnie, and I wouldn't have had it any other way, my hundreds of years alive was all worth it the moment I met you, my life lasted longer than it should've and I am glad I got to die being in love with the love of my life, at the end of my life, yours however, is only getting started, he's the last love of yours, it should've been that way, to begin with, I love you enough to be able to admit that, but I'm glad we had our time, Emeline is the greatest thing to exist and come from our love" Bastien pulled Bonnie in closer who was now bawling.
"I don't regret it, I need you to know that I will always be so in love with you, I'll be mourning you for the rest of my life" Bonnie looked up at Bast through her tears, meaning every single word.
"I know my love, I know" Bastien kissed her forehead again.
"I slept with Kenji, and Katherine, oh my god" Bonnie recounted. There was a momentary silence between them before they both started laughing.
"Yeah.. I've done worse trying to get over heartbreak, but I will haunt the shit out of you if you pull that again" Bastien teased.
"Well, Kenji is complete ash and bone so no problem there, and Katherine was just there, I still…yeah hard agree, you won't have to worry about that again" Bonnie smiled wiping her tears.
"Seriously though, live your life authentically being yourself, the good and the bad, I loved you before, and I will love you forever Bonnie Bennett, I'll keep watch over our daughter, you know where to find me until you set me free" Bastien sat up and put out his hand out to pull Bonnie up. Once they were both standing, they hugged for a moment before Bastien placed one more kiss on Bonnie's forehead before vanishing away.
Bonnie ran her hands through her long curly hair, tears welling her eyes again. Bonnie shut her eyes and took deep breaths to calm her emotions. She knew she needed to see her daughter and was able to apparate herself to her.
Bonnie appeared in the living room of the London apartment and saw Emeline and Eamon standing in the kitchen with their backs to her.
Emeline immediately could sense her mother and turned around.
"Mom!" Emeline exclaimed with tears in her eyes as Bonnie smiled at her daughter with tears in her eyes as well.
Emeline ran to her mom and immediately crashed into her, both of them crying.
"Mom I'm so so so sorry, I was told we had to leave, it wasn't safe, I had to go to Mystic Falls and then Emily, Ash and I brought Damon, Stefan, and their friend Lexi back and-" Before Emeline could finish her million miles a second sentence Bonnie interjected.
"It's okay, it's okay, you're fine, I'm not mad, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I left I'm so sorry" Bonnie squeezed Emeline tighter before letting her go to look at her.
"Stefan, Lexi, Ash, and Lana are working on getting more information on the heretic coven, and Katherine, and Damon…Mom they're trying to find you in Washington" Emeline stated as Bonnie was wiping tears from her daughter's face.
"We got it covered here, promise, finish what you were looking for, and find him Mom" Emeline whispered the end sentence, as if Eamon would've cared, it was everyone else who would most likely care.
Bonnie took a deep breath,
"Your father –" Bonnie began,
"I know Mom, I know, I see him in my dreams every night, he's with me when this is over we'll have time for everything, Mom go" Emeline pleaded with a smile before Bonnie pulled her into another hug.
"Let me know if you need me and what you find, after we complete both missions we meet back at home, tell Stefan and Lexi I said welcome back, and thank you for keeping my baby safe, I'll be seeing you" Bonnie kissed her daughter on her cheek before pulling away from the hug and taking a look at her strong, powerful daughter.
"I'll be seeing you Mom" Emeline smiled.
Bonnie mouthed "I love you" to Emeline and looked past Emeline's shoulder at Eamon and mouthed "Thank you", Eamon nodded in response. Bonnie then apparated out of the London penthouse.
BBBB
Once Bonnie made it into her cabin, she tracked down Damon, and saw that he and Katherine were in a familiar bookstore coffee shop in Seattle. Bonnie opened her eyes and took another deep breath preparing to see Damon for the first time with her emotions/humanity completely on.
It was raining so Bonnie opted for a high-neck racerback white tank and black leggings with combat boots and a lightweight bomber jacket before getting in the car and making her way into town, welcoming the rain and solitude to prepare her for what was coming. Bonnie wasn't the biggest fan of the current music and was still stuck in the music that brought her back to her youth in her twenties. She may still look like she was in that age – range, but those years still felt so long ago. "Come on mess me up" came on her playlist, and she allowed herself to get lost in the song and the moment.
BBBB
"It better be warmed up" Damon scowled as he took the croissant from Katherine after she came back with their baked goods.
"A "thank you Katherine for using your good charm and still having connections other than all the bridges I've burned for getting us a place to stay and funds to pay for my coffee and croissant" would suffice." Katherine sat down annoyed, Damon bit into his not warm enough to his liking croissant, as Katherine looked at her communication device for the time.
"Oh, there he is! Okay, you stay here, I'll be back" Katherine ordered, Damon mocked her and rolled his eyes before opening the book he picked to read.
Damon groaned at the song that came on at the café, he remembered when Folklore first came out because Bonnie put it on any chance she could get for years to come, as the first notes of "Cardigan" played, Damon looked up out the window to look at the rain, wondering how he was going to find Bonnie and then find the coven they were looking for.
Bonnie parked the car and looked in the mirror to make sure she looked okay, and her eyes weren't puffy. She finally got out of the car and opened the door to the book star coffee shop, breathing in the smell of coffee, paper, and baked goods. Bonnie walked past the bookstore part and made it to the coffee shop where she saw his raven hair, black leather jacket, and the bluest eyes looking out the window.
Before Damon looked back into his book he instinctively looked ahead and locked eyes with his favorite pair of green eyes.
Bonnie immediately felt the tears trying to come as she took in his features and sensed he was real, she felt frozen in place as Damon got up and made his way to her.
"Hi" Bonnie choked out with a smile.
"Hi" Damon returned, with his eyes getting watery.
"I found you" Bonnie laughed through her tears, causing Damon to smile, not wanting to touch her in case she changed her mind at any moment and ran.
"You did" Damon returned with a smile.
The moment was quickly interrupted as both Bonnie and Damon turned to look at Katherine making their way towards them, before Katherine got too close, she stopped and looked at both of them and nodded before turning around to go back to her friend, giving them the okay to work out whatever they needed to.
"We have a couple of hours, do you want to get out of here?" Damon asked with a careful tone and expression, Bonnie nodded.
"We can go back to my cabin; I'll bring us back after a couple hours" Bonnie stated as a tear ran down her face. She quickly wiped it away, and Damon nodded in agreement, wishing he could hold her.
Bonnie turned around to walk out the door with Damon following, they walked next to each other in silence under the rain, down the street, and into an alleyway, Bonnie quickly grabbed his hand and suddenly they were in front of the cabin.
Bonnie used her magic to open the door.
"No one owns this, it's a rental from a cabin company," Bonnie said to Damon as Damon carefully stepped into the cabin.
The cabin was the perfect combination of a modern home while keeping the charms of a large two-story cabin in the woods, equipped with a fireplace and a wraparound wooden porch.
"Do you want anything, tea? Water?" Bonnie nervously asked as she sat her keys and wallet on the counter, not wanting to look Damon in the eyes.
"No, I'm good, thank you" Damon carefully responded.
Bonnie grabbed a water bottle from the fridge for herself, and then headed into the living area with Damon following. Bonnie sat down on one side of the oversized couch with Damon on the other end. No one said anything, both just taking each other in. Bonnie slid off her boots before curling her full body up on the couch facing Damon.
"You're back, as a vampire, an original one like Katherine now" Bonnie stated narrowing her eyes at Damon.
"Yeah, it's been an adjustment" Damon returned.
Bonnie took another look at him and noticed again how he wasn't the 25-year-old Damon from before, but more mature and handsome looking. Noting that it was an age Bonnie had admittedly found him the most attractive, which made the blood rush through her body.
"I remember, everything" Bonnie's eyes started to well up again with tears, and Damon's face grew concerned and empathetic.
"Did you get my journals?" Damon asked and noticed the change in Bonnie's face as her eyes widened at the statement. She remembered that she had read enough of what she could handle and burned the rest.
"Some of them" Bonnie nodded as she looked down at her nails, biting her lip.
"Damon, I am so sorry" Bonnie looked back up at him as tears slowly fell from her eyes.
"You don't need to be sorry, it wasn't your fault I should've fought harder, I was planning to until – "
"Until Elena told you, she was pregnant" Bonnie interjected as she looked down at her nails again.
"I still should have fought harder" Damon continued, Bonnie nodded in agreement.
"You walked me down the aisle Damon" Bonnie stated,
"When I saw how happy he made you, how he could protect you, keep you safe, how much he loved you, it was a no-brainer, I did what I couldn't do with Elena and let you go because I couldn't be with you, and because he was the better choice, I couldn't offer you enough, you wouldn't have gotten the world you had today if I forced you to be with me" Damon explained while Bonnie was shaking her head.
"Well..we'll never know will we" Bonnie crossed her arms and stared into Damon's solemn blue eyes.
"No, we won't…I'm still in love with you Bonnie, Stefan knows, Elena knows, I never stopped, the moment I fell in love with you" Damon let out a deep sigh after his admission.
"Okay, what if I'm not in love with you, what if you lost your chance, for good" Bonnie wiped her tears and crossed her arms again.
"I'd say, Bonnie Bennett, you're a judgey little liar," Damon said as he narrowed his eyes at Bonnie, which made her scoff.
"Well, I'm not Damon, and you did, I've moved on, I mourned you, part of me let you go a long time ago" Bonnie continued.
"You didn't, you're a liar" Damon stated, Bonnie's heart began to beat slightly faster.
"You don't know me Damon, not anymore, and I'm not a liar" Bonnie was beginning to get frustrated.
"We can go back now," Damon said as he got up from the couch, Bonnie followed.
"No, we just got here, were not done" Bonnie retorted as she slept closer to Damon.
"We're done for today if you're going to continue to lie to yourself and me, you're almost a century old Bonnie, grow up" Damon stepped closer and looked at a visibly annoyed Bonnie who was no longer crying.
"Damon you-"
Damon grabbed Bonnie's face and studied the features that had been burned into his mind alive and in death.
"Look, we don't have to hash out everything today, I have quite a few bones to pick with you myself Bon-Bon, but we're not going to waste another minute pretending like we wouldn't burn everything down to be with each other just so you can feel like you were the good little wife you were and never once wished it was me who brought you to your knees and worshiped you at your alter, because I did, all the damn time and I don't feel bad about it, not..one..bit" Damon's blue eyes intensified as he took in how Bonnie's heart was beating even faster, and how her body was betraying her by the sweet scent of Bonnie's excitement.
"You're an asshole, I hate you Damon," Bonnie said as Damon dropped his hands from her face. Damon smirked, rolled his eyes, and turned away from Bonnie.
"Don't walk away from me!" Bonnie exclaimed as she grabbed Damon's arm to turn him around.
Damon turned around and immediately grabbed Bonnie and bent down to crash his mouth into hers. Bonnie then gripped his hair as she jumped into his arms, meeting the urgency of his lips.
"This doesn't change anything, I still hate you," Bonnie said in between kisses.
Damon rolled his eyes and vamp sped them up the stairs and into the first bedroom he could find and threw her onto the bed.
"Show me" Damon ordered as Bonnie looked up at him panting.
"What?" Bonnie questioned.
"How much, how much you hate me" Damon taunted. Bonnie used her magic to pull him onto the bed and underneath her.
Bonnie immediately made her way to Damon's neck and bit it hard enough to hurt but not hard enough to draw blood, making Damon groan. Bonnie licked over the bite and began to kiss his neck, his jaw, and then back to his mouth. Damon then flipped her over underneath him, still not breaking the kiss. Bonnie nipped at Damon's mouth before pulling from the kiss, making Damon give her a devilish grin.
"I didn't say you could stop" Bonnie stated as she watched Damon get up from the bed, wanting to whimper at the sudden loss of his warmth and weight.
"You slept with Katherine" Damon stated as he took off his leather jacket.
"And? So did you at one point in time" Bonnie returned as she sat up on the bed.
"Bonnie, you may "hate" me, or whatever you're telling yourself to rationalize this, but I hate the idea, the thought of Katherine touching you and making you moan, in fact, no one else gets to until the day you die, and even then, even in death" Bonnie scoffed at Damon's statement.
"Damon –" Bonnie began before Damon interjected.
"No, the next time you say my name is because you'll be screaming it, but first, let's go back to the year 1994, specifically the prison world version" Damon stepped out of his shoes, and reveled in the confused face Bonnie had.
"There was a night, you and I had a…let's call it a bad mental health day, see at that point I had already fantasized about you, and yes when you thought I was staring at your ass in the grocery store, I absolutely was and wanted nothing but to kill Jeremy the moment I got back for even thinking he was equipped to handle all of that, all of you" Damon scowled at the thought of it, Bonnie rolled her eyes.
"Anyways, that night, after not speaking to each other for most of the day, I walked by your room, and heard the faintest noises you were trying to hide when you thought I was already asleep," Damon smirked as Bonnie's face became horrified.
"And the scent that came with the noises was enough to make me not the most upset should we have never made it out back to our relationships we should've never been in" Damon continued as Bonnie sat there trying to not look embarrassed.
"You're going to show me what you did that night" Damon took off his shirt revealing his sculpted lean body, Bonnie tried to act like she wasn't fazed by it but was getting extremely turned on at him undressing for her.
"No, absolutely not" Bonnie stated crossing her arms.
Damon sighed, and picked up his shirt as if he were going to put it back on, Bonnie immediately rolled her eyes and then peeled off her racer back high neck tank top revealing her perfect brown breasts with nipples already hard and perked up, Damon slowly bit his bottom lip at the sight as her curls fell around her body, he could already feel the blood rush to his erection, he thought he should be awarded for the restraint he was showing.
Bonnie slowly laid back and slipped off her black leggings exposing her black seamless panties. Bonnie was surprised at how not embarrassed she felt, thankful for the years of experience leading up to this moment, however, she couldn't lie to herself, undressing for Damon gave her a whole new feeling of pleasure she never felt before.
Bonnie slowly moved her right hand to her underwear while her left hand moved to her breasts. She didn't want to admit to him that the reason that night she had risked being caught by him, touching herself, was because she was also fantasizing about Damon who had been walking around with just a towel earlier that day.
As Bonnie was remembering how he looked that day she didn't realize she was already fingering herself with Damon watching.
Damon almost couldn't control himself as her scent filled the room, and when she started to let out moans, he had almost lost it right then and there.
"Stop" Damon ordered, which made Bonnie pull her hand out. Damon stepped out of his jeans before climbing onto the bed. Without saying a word, he grabbed her right hand and placed her fingers in his mouth, moaning at the taste, as Bonnie was panting, growing wetter by the second.
After Damon was done sucking her fingers clean, he lowered his face to kiss her again. As Bonnie was aggressively kissing Damon back, she grabbed onto his sides with her hands as she wrapped her legs around him, feeling his erection against her wet underwear. Damon broke away to kiss his way slowly down to her center, taking time to give attention to her neck, breasts, and stomach. He kissed his way to her thighs, making sure to briefly brush his lips against her sex.
"Stop..teasing..me" Bonnie muttered out, squirming underneath him. Damon then brought his mouth back up to her abdomen as he pulled off her soaked underwear. Once they were off, he spread her legs with his hands and moaned at the sight of her, coming undone for him. He presumed to kiss down her abdomen and into her, swirling his tongue at her bundle of nerves, as she moaned and bucked herself up to him, Damon used his hands to keep her down and still as he moaned and lapped up her wetness, Damon then brought up his right hand to enter in one finger which made Bonnie moan even louder. As he pumped one finger in and out, still paying attention with his mouth on the other parts of her, she was grabbing onto his thick raven hair, to hold herself steady.
Damon looked up briefly to see the pleasure on her face, he then put in another finger, slowly pumping in and out, he could tell that at any moment she would come as she was getting wetter and wetter.
"I'm going to come, Damon..Damon!" Bonnie exclaimed as she was coming, Damon finally letting go of his grip on her so she could buck herself up and let her body move how it wanted to through her orgasm. Damon lifted his head up and pulled himself up to kiss her again so she could taste herself, both moaning into each other's mouth.
"I still hate you Damon, this is just long overdue" Bonnie said as Damon moved his mouth to her neck, he moaned "mhm" into her neck.
"But I need you, I need to feel close to you, for right now" Bonnie stated again in between breaths. Damon lifted his head from her neck to look at her.
"I'm yours, I always have been," Damon said softly as he looked into her eyes, still feeling as if he is in a dream, he knew that there was no going back to before, he wouldn't want to nor know how to, there was only before and then after, and the after would be filled with a new way to love Bonnie every day, chasing the high he currently felt for the rest of their lives.
Bonnie grabbed the sides of his briefs and pulled them down as far as she could, before he helped pull them off.
"I'm yours Damon," Bonnie said in a sultry tone which made Damon crash his lips onto her again as he entered her slowly, moaning at the tight, warm feeling of her.
"Say it again" Damon continued in between thrusts.
"I'm yours" Bonnie repeated, making Damon groan and thrust even faster.
Bonnie brought her hand up to Damon's head to push him into her neck as he was picking up the pace.
"Only yours" Bonnie said again as Damon opened his mouth on her neck to sink in his fangs causing Bonnie to moan in pain and pleasure.
Damon wasn't sure if it could ever get better than this and did not know what he did to deserve this moment, but he would do it all over again if it means doing this in a cabin in the woods on a rainy evening in Washington. The moment her blood filled his mouth, he immediately felt as if he were in ecstasy, nothing and no one could compare to the taste and smell of Bonnie's blood.
Bonnie used her legs to flip them over so that she could ride Damon until her next orgasm.
Damon grabbed onto her waist, blood still on his mouth taking in Bonnie's perfect full breasts moving in perfect rhythm as she rode him. This went on for a while until they both ended completely undone after both coming together.
Bonnie rolled off him to his side, and Damon grabbed her face to bring her into him so her could kiss her again, something that he would never get tired of as he bit and pulled at her swollen lips, drawing a small amount of blood.
Bonnie finally pulled away to catch her breath.
"Did you mean it" Damon asked with one finger grazing her cheek.
"Yes, but Damon, I still I-"
"I know, we still have a lot to work out, to talk about, a lot to make up for, I'll be patient, I promise, scouts honor" Damon teased which made Bonnie giggle.
"Damon Salvatore, after what you just did and the life you lived, you have no honor," Bonnie said with a smirk.
"Doesn't mean much from the witch who let Katherine touch them..recently" Damon countered, earning a laugh and a shove from Bonnie.
"We have to go get her I'm afraid," Bonnie said,
"Fine, I think we can get in a quickie before we go" Damon teased which made Bonnie roll her eyes and groan.
"10 minutes" Bonnie agreed.
"I just need 5" Damon said before placing his lips on hers again, wishing he could love her and please her like this for years to come.
BBBB
"She's here" one of the vampires said to Adonis.
Adonis motioned for Isolda to leave the room.
"Let her in" Adonis ordered; the vampire nodded in return. Shortly after Sabre entered the room with a look that could kill.
"My child" Adonis greeted her with a smile, Sabre incanted a spell and threw him against the wall, which caused him to become aggravated, and with his magic, without needing to incant a spell, he bound her arms and legs together and pulled her to him in the air as she was trying to resist.
"I deserve that I'll admit, however, you should be thanking me" Adonis sneered.
"If I don't kill you, she will, you won't win" Sabre scowled which made Adonis smile.
"You've only ensured that I will, by delivering your brother, I took a look into his mind, and my child, there were a few ways your story could go, he let his wife, a Bennett witch vote for your death after you were imprisoned for years, no family of your own, no access to your magic, just alone until your last day, luckily for you I stopped that future from happening, what do you know about a Lucy Bennett" Adonis continued trying to decipher Sabre's expression.
"I don't, I don't know a Lucy Bennett" Sabre said trying to recall if the name rang a bell.
"Well, your brother did, she's long gone, but she had a child, and she didn't want her child living the life she and Bonnie did, so she bound her child's powers after she was born, locked the magic away. She knew your mother briefly and made her promise that no one, not even Bonnie, would get her hands on the magic, due to Bonnie's frequent misuse of her own magic. Your mother only told Bastien, not you, funny how that works. Anyway, it's buried in a stone with your mother, and only an Archambeau can access her tomb." Adonis placed a hand on her face, which made Sabre flinch.
"You can help me, or you can die, either by my hands or Bonnies, the choice is yours" Adonis dropped his hand and let Sabre go from his magical hold.
"On one condition" Sabre stated as she gained her composure.
"I'll allow it" Adonis replied with annoyance.
"I get to be the one that kills Bonnie Bennett" Sabre ordered, Adonis smiled at her devilishly and nodded.
I am ready for you guys to see what's to come, and to see how Bonnie and Damon deal with their very gray area moving forward as Bonnie juggles with her guilt about still being very much in love with Damon, unapologetically so, a Stefan and Caroline reunion is also coming :')
