Chapter IX

"I know I owe you answers, but I need to place wards before I can explain anything," She

said disappearing into the night.

Returning a few minutes later he was shocked by the raw power he'd felt her wield

seemingly effortlessly.

"So now you're a supercharged Bennett spawn?" Damon asked.

"I'm not sure what I am exactly." Even now she could feel the power pulsing just beneath

her skin.

"I need practice, and we need to train."

"You know everything I have to teach."

"I do, but Bonnie doesn't." She said watching him roll his eyes.

" Bonnie? You think I could train the little witch to be like us?" He asked shaking his head.

"Why not?"

"Because you're either born this way or you aren't."

"That's bullshit, I wasn't like this-"

"When you were alive maybe not, but once you were changed so did your personality."

"She's a Bennett Damon she has it in her, and correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't she

threaten to set you on fire?"

"Threatened, being the main word in that sentence."

"Even with all your arrogance you don't believe she was bluffing."

"Sabrina the teenage witch is all goodness and light like the lovely Elena, whom I'm looking

forward to corrupting," he said flashing her grin.

"I hate to rain on your parade, but operation steal the look alike is gonna have to be put on

the back burner."She said seeing the flash of annoyance flicker in his blue eyes.

"Tell me what you need me to do so we can get this over with."

"Teach her like you taught me."

"Care to be more specific?"

"Hand to hand combat, grappling, how to be stealthy.. too many other things to name."

"You want me to help her channel her inner bad ass?" He asked amused.

"You have a talent for bringing out the darker side in people Damon."

"I do don't I?"

"Yes ass," She exclaimed laughing lightly.

"And what will you be doing in the mean time?"

"Testing my new limits, and training Bonnie on all that "Witchy" stuff."

"When do you want to start?"

"Let me talk to her first," She said turning to look at the home they were sitting outside of.

"I get it, time for girl talk and family bonding," he said playfully.

" Are you going to turn it into a slumber party, talk about boys, eat ice-cream and have

pillow fights?"He asked pursing his lips as his eyes gleamed with naughty thoughts.

"You're such a pervert Salvatore, go find yourself a girl to. .. take the edge off," she tossed

back jumping from the tree branch and landing in a crouch.

"I think I'll do just that," He said smirking as he gave her a mock salute before melting into

the night.

"Always such a show off," She mumbled rolling her eyes as she walked up the stairs and

rang the doorbell.

"I'll be glad when my house stops being a hotbed of activity," Bonnie thought standing from

the couch where she' d been attempting normalcy by catching up on the latest episodes' of

"The Fringe".

"You're back!" she exclaimed stepping back to allow Zoe entrance.

"I am, we need to talk and before I begin I have to ask you to keep an open mind."

"Okay," She agreed nodding as they took seats on the brown suede sofa.

" I went back to our house where I hid my grimoire, and I invoked the spirits of our

ancestors, they told me many things, something coming to Mystic Falls and we have to be

prepared. "

"What else is new?" Bonnie asked sarcastically.

" I can help you with the "Witch" stuff, show you everything our family knew .some things

I've learned on my own, but you need to know more."

"Like?"

"How to defend yourself for one."

"Why can't you teach me?"

"Because physical defense has never been my forte; and even with our powers we need a

backup plan."

"It makes sense, but why did you want me to keep an open mind."

"Because the best teacher I know is Damon," she said wincing as the girls emerald eyes

narrowed and her body tensed.

"You want me to trust him after what he did?"

"Trust him in this one instance. I know he's never given you a reason to think he was

anything other than a monster, but he taught me everything I know, hell if it wasn't' for him

I'd be nothing more than a long forgotten memory," She said standing to pace.

"I'm not excusing what he's done ,he can be a real heartless son of a bitch, but when he

does care he does it with everything in him, and we both need him right now."

"I know you've seen his good side Zoelle, but to me he's the vampire who toyed with one of

my best friends, is attempting to seduce my other and ruin her happiness; and let's not

leave out the fact that he ripped out my throat and damn near left me for dead."

"I know Bonnie, but what's coming ... makes him look like a choir boy."

"I'll try to cooperate-"

"Trying isn't good enough!" She yelled stunning the little witch into silence as she raked a

hand through her hair.

"Well that's all I can promise!" Bonnie yelled finding her voice as the temperature in the

room rose.

"You're angry... good you can channel that."

"Is this some kind of game to you?" She hissed hazel eyes flashing.

"No Bonnie , but I'm looking to use any advantage we might have... maybe If you could just

see him the way I do," She whispered moving forward.

"I want to show you something ," She said coming to sit-on the edge of the couch behind

her.

"What?"

"I want to show you my Damon."

"How?"

"Just a passing of my memories to you, I just need to touch you."

Eyeing her for a moment Bonnie nodded. She was curious to see this new face of Damon

Salvatore. Letting out a shaky breath as Zoe placed cool fingers on her temple she gasped

as her mind was flooded with images.

Memories

Damon's intense azure eyes filled with mirth and laughter as he smiled down at her.

"Come on it'll be fun," he coaxed offering her his hand.

"I'm going to kill you!" She screamed eyes wide as he propelled their bodies from the rock

cliff 30 feet  below.

Gasping as she surfaced from the freezing depths she shot him a death glare.

"Now that wasn't that bad was it?" he asked laughing as she splashed him forcefully.

"Oh I'm' sorry did I interrupt something intimate?" Damon asked smirking as he entered the

house and the two jumped a part nervously.

"Now why would you say that?" She asked sarcastically

"Hmm maybe because you're tops buttoned wrong," He said laughing as he disappeared

into his room in the back.

"Smug bastard," Stefan mumbled making her release a peal of laughter.

" I do love you so," She whispered leaning in for another kiss.

"Drink and all will be well." The dark haired stranger with the bewitching blue eyes and pale

skin  whispered brushing her hair back from her face.

"W- who are you?" She managed to push out from a thick tongue.

"Someone sworn to protect your lineage," he replied looking down at her kindly as she

fought to keep breathing.

She'd been grateful for the snow and ice because it numbed her body from the pain the

wounds from the wolves claws and teeth had left behind.

"Drink little one, and worry about the details later," he urged pressing his torn wrist to her

cracked lips.

She could die here in these woods, but something inside her protested he was offering her

another chance at life. One of her own making. Closing her eyes she chocked down the thick

salty metallic liquid until the darkness took her.

Laying side by side on his bed passing a bottle of Jack back and forth.

"Love, who needs it?" She slurred as he nodded.

"To hell with significant others!" He cried making her giggle.

Stefan had left her thirty one days, 6 hours and thirty minutes ago. He'd almost drained a

woman to the point of death and swore of the live blood cold turkey. He'd claimed their

lifestyles conflicted too much and he had to remove himself from all temptations which

intern meant leaving her.

"I miss him though," She whispered fighting back tears as she rolled onto her side to face

the man who'd been left behind to "pick up the pieces."

"And I miss her," He said letting his eyes reflect the pain and loneliness he truly felt for just

a moment before he took another swig before passing it back.

"Let's face it D, we're pathetic," She moaned.

"Well at least we have each other," he said as she nodded.

"Things were always a lot more simpler when it was just you and I ," she agreed

determined to put the past behind her.

"We should keep it that way for awhile." He said slipping his arm around her shoulder as he

pulled her close giving her silent comfort.

On and on the memories went until Zoe pulled away shakily.

"I think that's enough show and tell for tonight," She said attempting to lighten the mood as

Bonnie sat beside her silent and still.

"You okay?"

"How can that man and the one I know be the same person?" She asked awed as she

wrapped her arms around her waist.

"There's good inside D, you just have to know where to look," She said winking.

"I can promise you now if you let him, he'll show you." She said intriguing her with a chance

Of glimpsing the Damon she'd seen in the visions.

"It's so hard to wrap my head around ... and you and Stefan!" She gasped making the

woman grin.

"You wouldn't think he had it in him, but there's a lot more to that one than meets the eye,"

She said suddenly sounding tired and a bit sad.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to bring up any .. painful memories."

"What's past it past," She said waving her hands dismissively. " Can you give D a chance?"

"Yes," She said nodding her head.

"Good, then I'll send him your way tomorrow. I've added extra wards to the property and if

you need anything call for me, I'll hear you." She standing.

"Thank you," Bonnie said finding she'd enjoyed her time with Zoe. She missed having a

close girlfriend to spend time with.

"That's what family's for right?" She asked smiling before leaving with a nod.

She had just made hating Damon virtually impossible. After experiencing so many things

first person it was almost like living the moments herself.

"Thanks cuz," She spat locking the door before heading up to bed.

"No one said I had to like him, just tolerate him, and trust him.. slightly," She said to the

reflection that greeted her from the mirror attached to the back of the door.

"Why do I look like a liar?" She hissed narrowing her eyes at the mirror twin before turning

on her heel and shedding her robe so she could ease into bed.

" I will not fall into the fans for reformed Damon category," She mumbled rolling on to her

side as she closed her eyes and let sleep take her.

"Where did you go Zoe?" Stefan asked looking up from his book as she walked to her room.

"Just had some business to take care of," She said shrugging as she avoided his gaze. The

memories from the past were too close to the surface after sharing with Bonnie.

"Everything okay?" he inquired making her want to scream. No everything was not okay,

they were on the verge of who knows what kind of danger and he was shacked up with the

"Its fine."

"You don't sound fine," he said setting his book aside as he came to stand behind her.

"Look Stefan I'm really tired from traveling and I just want to go to bed."

"Why won't you look at me?" He asked making her turn to face him .

"Happy?"

"No," he whispered shaking his head.

"What do you want Stef?" She sighed.

"Elena really wants to meet you," he said making her mentally count to ten. Well if this

wasn't' a cherry on her ice-cream sundae.

"Fine Stef, we'll talk work something out tomorrow," She said slipping past him and into her

room.

"It's been one hell of a day." She whispered falling back onto the bed.
