"Can I talk to you Damon?" Stefan asked.

"It's a free country, and your lips are all ready flapping," He said sighing as he closed the book

he'd been reading.

Most people didn't realize how intelligent the vamp actually was. During his down time he

could usually be found in his room or the library with a classic piece of literature in his hands. A

habit he'd carried over from his past. When they'd been out there between battles books had

helped pass the time and keep him sane.

"What's going on with you and Bonnie?"

"Nothing."

"That's not what it looked like last night," he said crossing his arms.

"What did it look like?"

"Like you were flirting."

"And that's new, how?" he asked amused as his brothers brow furrowed.

"What's new is the fact that she was flirting back."

"So your problem is the fact that she wasn't ripping me a new one?" He asked slowly.

"Partially."

"Do you realize how idiotic you sound little brother?"

"Look Bonnie is Elena's best friend and I'm not about to let you turn her into one of your little

toys you discard when you're done."

"1. Bonnie is a grown woman capable of taking care of herself , 2. She's not a toy and 3. I'm the

one who made the deal with Emily to protect her lineage," he said surprised at the anger that

had begun to boil just under the surface.

Bonnie was his responsibility. He'd made the deal with Emily and Zoe had reinforced it by

asking him to look after her.

"Yeah because they worked out so well," Stefan said, eyes widening when he suddenly found

himself eye to eye with a bristling vampire.

"Tread very carefully; it sounds suspiciously like you're trying to tell me what I can and can't

do."

"Just stay away from her, "Stefan hissed through clenched teeth as he stood his ground.

"Or you'll what? We both know who's stronger here," he taunted as his anger rose.

"Don't test me."

"Oh now I really am scared. I'm sorry I didn't realize you had a think for the little witch. Does

Elena know?" He asked knowing he would slam him against the wall if he gave any indication he

had interest in the caramel beauty.

"It's not like that!"

"Than what is it like? Cause last I checked you were taken Saint Stefan. Bonnie and I will do

whatever we please," he whispered. "And there's not a damn thing you can do about it." He

said stepping back as he headed out needing air.

"Funny I thought you'd be happy I wasn't chasing Elena, or is it that you hoped I would continue

so you could pick up where you left off with Zoelle."

"Don't you talk about her that way?" He yelled green eyes blazing.

"Like what? Like you might care about her more than Elena? Looks like you might have some

soul searching to do," he whispered smirking before he disappeared.

"Hey Elena, is everything okay?" Bonnie asked closing the spells she'd been going over to

focus in on the conversation she knew would be coming.

"Yeah, everything's going okay, I just wanted to talk," She said lamely making Bonnie roll her

eyes. She'd always been a terrible liar.

"About?"

"About Damon, he's dangerous Bon."

"I thought you said he was misunderstood and just trying to turn over a new leaf."

" I did, but he's also very unpredictable. I just don't want you getting hurt or caught up in

one of his games."

"I appreciate the concern Elena but I'm fine, I'm in control of my magic now and I can take care

of myself," She said letting her down gently.

"Sure I know that, it's just last night you two looked awfully cozy."

"Because we weren't at each other's throat?"

"Well.. yeah."

"Damon and I have an understanding Lena , one we're both good with ," she said wishing she

would change the subject.

"Well as long as you're okay," she said weakly. "So what do you think of Zoe?"

"I think she's a lot of fun, but there's definitely a dark side to her." She said wishing she could

tell her everything. Finding out she still had family left who cared and could help her with her

powers was a huge deal.

"It's so hard for me to picture her and Stefan as an item."

: Not me: Bonnie thought remembering the crazed bloodied face he'd worn the night he'd lost

control. Elena might forget what he really was, but she never would.

"Oh I know," She said giving her the response she expected.

"I miss you Bon, we haven't hung out in awhile," Elena said sounding so much like her old self it

made Bonnie's heart ache.

"I know, I've just been buried in all this witch stuff," She said sighing.

"Learning anything new?"

"Nothing worth mentioning, just moving through the book Grams left" She said purposely

evasive.

 The last thing she wanted to do was give over any information to the wrong person.

"Yeah I can only imagine how hard that must be," She said sighing. "Hold on."

"I'm upstairs Jenna!" She heard Elena cry. "Look Bonnie I hate to cut this short, but I think Jenna

wants to talk, we'll plan a girl's day after the festival."

"Sounds good," she said hoping she d have her friend back by then.

"I'll talk to you later Lena," she said disconnecting as she felt a familiar presence.

"Speak of the devil," She said smiling as she stood from the couch and move to the door.

"Hi Damon," Bonnie said impressing him as she opened the door before he could knock.

"Aren't you the clever one?"

"I try, time for another training session?"

"Yeap, I actually want to try something new."

"Am I good with what I have on?" She asked looking down to take in the tiny jean shorts, peach

colored tank top and white sandals.

"its fine, this is all going to be mental."

"Where are we going to practice?"

"At the Grille, it'll be best if you learn in a busy setting because it's the kind of environment

you'll have to function in, "he said stepping back to allow her to exit.

Watching the sway of her curvy hips and her high tight ass he couldn't help but lick his lips. How

had he over looked this girl? She had some serious swagger working. Bringing up the rear

literally he felt the gears in his head begin to grind. She was an itch he wanted to scratch and

now he had to figure out how to accomplish that goal. Why settle for sloppy seconds when you

could be the first?

"Damon, what exactly are we going to try?"

"Have you read anything about telepathy?" he asked as she nodded.

"Well if a witch is powerful enough she can do it."

"You think I am?"

" I know you are Bon Bon," he replied smirking when she didn't correct him.

"So how do we start?"

"First we order something to eat, this can be draining, and I don't want you getting sick or worn

down," he said waving over a waiter.

Placing their orders they people watched and talked more about training.

"How hard is it?"

"Once you figure it out, it's not too bad, it's the starting out that's hard."

"Let's play a game," he said grinning.

"What kind of game?"

"I'll pick the person and do a quick reading, and you tell me what you get," he said as she

nodded her agreement. She was always game for people watching.

  Going back and forth she impressed herself as well as him when she was able to pick up a few

stray thoughts and images.

"We'll pick up after we finish," He said as their food arrived.

"Saint Stefan lectured me about you today," he said before tucking in to his burger.

"Elena did the same thing to me," She said shaking her head as she mixed up her Chicken

Caesar Salad .

"He did the whole you guys seem awfully close, she's Elena's bestie so you need to back of

spiel."

"I got the whole he can't be trusted, and I'm just worried because I don't want to see you hurt

routine."

"Do you?"

"Do I what?"

"Trust me," he asked quietly.

"That's a good question," she answered pausing. "I trust you more than not."

"Fair enough."

"That's all you're going to say?" She asked skeptically.

"It's a valid statement," he replied flashing her grin that coaxed one of her own.

"I think I like you Damon Salvatore," She teased.

"I know I like you Bonnie Bennett," he responded making her blush slightly.

__

Pacing back and forth in her room Zoe felt like her blood was on fire. One more day and

everything would be coming to a head. What would she do if the glamour revealed something?

Would Stef hate her forever for ending his happiness? She'd come here to keep an eye on

Damon and pull him from his slump, but she was the one in trouble. Being around Stef so much

was making it hard to keep a lid on her feelings despite the fact that she knew the situation was

hopeless. Look at what one sip of human blood had done to him just weeks earlier. Growling

she left the house and headed for the nearest bar.

Walking inside the dive she took a seat on a stool waving the bartender over.

"Jack Daniels on the rocks, and keep them coming," She demanded compelling him before he

could waste her time with conversation. She wasn't in the mood for idle chit chat.

"Coming right up," he said turning to do her bidding as she attempted to relax.

She'd woken up today after another dream feeling like she was suffocating. She still didn't know

what was coming, how to stop it or what the hell was going on with Elena. Letting out a shaky

breath she tossed back another drink enjoying the fiery burn that slid down her throat and

down into her belly. Maybe if she just went over the dream again something would click.

Once more Zoe found herself deep in the woods of Mystic Falls.

"They're coming," Emily said appearing in front of her.

"Who?" She asked frustrated when she was greeted with stony silence.

"I cannot tell you." She whispered making the hair on the back of her neck stand up.

"They're that powerful?"

"Yes and no," she said cryptically.

"What can you tell me?"

"Remember what I've said, they come on two legs and four."

"Wolves?" She asked tensing when Emily nodded curtly

"You need to see," She whispered touching her head before turning to look behind her.

"Wake now."

Nursing her 10th drink she ran over the brief scene again.

"See!" She exclaimed jumping to her feet as the proverbial light bulb went off.

 She needed to induce a vision. It was a dangerous business but in this case a necessary evil.

Exiting the bar she headed for the woods as she ran over the spell she needed to cast.

"Stefan we need to get to the woods now!" Damn sent clutching his head as Zoe's pain shot

through him.

"What's wrong?" he asked immediately beside him as they raced towards the woods.

"Something's wrong with Zoe," he responded back focusing in on her to get her exact location.

"Zoelle!" Damon called stumbling as he slammed into an invisible barrier that separated him

from her prone body. She looked like a broken doll, lying on the woodland floor with her limbs

strewn about awkwardly inside her circle.

"What's wrong with her?" Stefan asked.

"I don't know, I need to get Bonnie, stay here and guard her," Damon said knowing the witch

was her own blood so she could break the circle.

"What did you do?" Stefan whispered feeling like his heart was being ripped from his chest.

Having her so close, but being unable to help her was torture.

"Zoelle!" he called mentally attempting to wake her though he knew it was no use.

He didn't' have the kind of power his brother wielded; and the blood bonds they once shared

were long faded. Cursing his inability to drink blood without losing himself completely he

clenched his fists. He'd always felt like he'd failed Zoe by not being strong enough. So this

situation was like a slap in the face.

"BONNIE! I'm coming for you now. Something's wrong with Zoelle , she's in the woods and we

need your help!" Damon yelled mentally.

"Damon?" She shot back tentatively.

"Yes," he responded all ready at her door when she opened it.

"Let's go," She said gasping when he lifted her into his arms.

"This is the fastest way to travel, hold on tight and close your eyes" he said rushing into the

night as she sucked in deep breath and clenched her lids shut.

"We're here," he said stopping abruptly.

"What happened?" she asked accepting Damon's support as she was eased on to her feet

shakily.

"I don't know, I felt her cry out and when I found her here she was like this," he said pacing as

he ran a hand through his tousled hair.

"Look do you even know what you're doing?" Stefan snapped making her narrow her eyes as

she stepped towards the circle.

"She knows."

"Why do you trust her with Zoelle?"

"Because she's my childe, and Bonnie is her family."

"What?"

"Listen we don't' have time for this right now! Shut up and let Bonnie concentrate," he

snapped, pinning his brother with eyes that had bled black.

"Fine," Stefan growled dangerously close to shifting himself.

 Closing her eyes Bonnie lifted her hands as she felt the spell swirling inside the circle contained

just out of reach.

"She's not hurt, she's just under the spells influence," She said turning to face Damon.

"I felt her pain."

"Self induced visions come with a price," She said shaking her head.

"How much longer will she be under?" Stefan asked anxiously.

"Hard to say, it could be a couple minutes or a couple hours, however long it takes for her to

see what she needs to."

"Stubborn vitch," Damon growled making her raise her eyebrows in a look that said now was

not the time to be calling the girl names.

"Vitch, a vampire witch," he said making her laugh a she shook her head; Only Damon

Salvatore.

"Since we're going to be here for awhile you can start by telling me how these two are related,"

Stefan said.

"What does it matter to you?" Damn shot back.

"It matters," he ground out.

"That's how I found her, she was dying and I felt a pull. The one that always told me when a

Bennett was in trouble; only she wasn't where she was supposed to be, it was a fluke I' d been

in the right state." He said shaking his head at the memory.

"Wait so there are more Bennett's?"

"No, these two are the last, Zoelles' people left town and changed their surname in an attempt

to escape everything that had happened." " As you can tell It didn't end up working out the way

they planned."

The sound of air being sucked into lungs broke the silence that had fallen and they all watched

as Zoe's dark eyes opened and she sat up slowly. Power radiated off her and there was a cold

mechanical manor that accompanied her movements.

"Damon?" Bonnie whispered worriedly.

"I see it," he said tensing.

She was behaving like a newborn. When they first woke in this life, their emotions, and human

memories were distant. Their movements, speech, and thoughts were kin to that of an alien.

They spent the first few weeks learning how to simply blend in.

"Sorry to have you all rush out here," She said nonchalantly as she stood brushing herself off.

"Are you okay?" Stefan asked cautiously.

"Oh yes, better than ever before actually," she said as her lips curled up into a chilling smile.

Opening the circle she moved to Bonnie in fluid steps that made her appear to walk over the

land instead of on it.

"I was told to share," she whispered leaning in to kiss her forehead before turning to Stefan.

Moving to him she grasped his face in her hands gently pulling him to her slowly.

"Zo-"

"Shhh," She whispered pressing her cool lips to his own.

Teasing him gently with a few brushes she slide her tongue between his lips as they opened

slightly in an unspoken invitation. Closing her eyes as tears made their way down her face she

put everything she felt into the kiss. Her love for him, her frustration at the situation at hand,

and most importantly power. Pulling away she studied his dilated eyes and smiled sadly.

"I'm sorry," She whispered stepping back as he slid to the ground.

: Don't' worry they're not hurt, it was a gift: She sent Damon mentally as Bonnie began to sway on her feet.

"Watch over them," She said gone as he gathered the little witch into his arms.

"Elena!" Bonnie exclaimed eyes wide and dilated as she saw something he could not.

"I hope you know what you're doing Zoelle," Damon whispered frowning as he realized it was

past midnight, ending the three day wait for the spell.

Jar in hand Zoe stood in front of the Gilberts using her power to send Jenna to sleep before

using the cell phone she's pilfered from Stefan.

: Meet me out front I want to take you somewhere: she texted blending into the shadows to

wait.

Curling her lip up in a snarl when the object of Stefan's affection appears on the front porch she

wonders once more how he can stomach looking at her. She's a replica of Katherine with her

chestnut locks, brown eyes and sultry features. She's dressed in jean and a red v-neck , and

before she can wonder if something's wrong Zoe has her pinned against the wall.

"I'm done playing games with you," She whispers smiling as she smells her fear.

"Yes, you should be afraid," she said ignoring the little voice that told her she's regret this

momentary lapse in human emotions.
