~The pen is mightier than the sword~ Invites only - Page 13

Hurry! 😛...

You'd better do it tonight woman! 😆...

I cannot believe that manipulative, narcotic, little hussy had me-

"Damon? Is that you brother?" he groaned inwardly, great Stefan's home!

"No, I'm his doppelganger Defan. Of course it's me boy!"

His brother walked in with a facial expression of someone who just had a sour cherry.

"Oh don't look at me like that," he rolled his eyes, "those forehead wrinkles are getting worse and worse. No one likes a pouting boy, brother."

"I'm guessing the chase was unsuccessful then." Stefan finally said.

He sighed, "Look, I was right behind her all the way up from Canada to Alaska and I lost her there. She left this—and yes I said left because Katherine is not one to drop anything accidently—a talisman perhaps?" He handed the gold amulet, with a heart carved in the center, over to Stefan. "I need you to call Bonnie, she's not home and I—"

His brother looked up immediately and narrowed his eyes at him, "What exactly is your plan Damon? I mean what do you expect Bonnie to do? You promised Sheila to protect her, not to endanger her even more. And asking her favors will do only that" he finished, tossing the amulet back and folding his arms across his chest.

"I didn't come here for your lectures! I just need her number okay? I'm not going to make her do anything, trust me. I just want her to look in the Grimoire to see if this" holding up the amulet, "is in there and if there is any information on it, that's all. This is my only chance of finding and finishing Katherine once and for all!"

They seem to have a staring contest, both refusing to look away from other. Finally Stefan gave in and exhaled air that was held during the duration. "Fine, and I cannot believe I'm agreeing but this has to end. I want you to update me regularly, don't leave anything out, understood?"

Damon rolled his eyes but agreed by nodding. Ten minutes later he stood on Sheila's porch. He remembered the time she made him feel like his brain being torn apart neuron by neuron. A trick Bonnie learned and used quickly on him as well. Painful as it was he could help but chuckle lightly, this ought to be fun.

He knocked on the door and waited impatiently. When Bonnie finally arrived his expression changed to an amusing smirk, and he did his best to hold another round of chuckles in.

"Damon? What- what are you doing here?" she asked genuinely confused. For some reason he had the urge to laugh and hold her in his arms. But he covered it up by replying "Oh come on Bonnie. Tell me you didn't think you can hide from me. If you weren't home or at Elena's or Caroline's, you had to be here, didn't take a lot to find you." Actually in truth he hadn't thought of it, Katherine had messed him up that much this week.

"That's not what I meant and I am not hiding from you, I have nothing to hide" she replied angrily.

"Well if that's the case, invite me in angel" he smirked devilishly.

She was caught off guard, how he could be so gentle yet so devilish. And then she realized something huge, this place, her grandmother's, Damon couldn't enter. This could be the one place she can get away from Damon and all those thoughts of him that have been occupying her mind lately. Should she leave him out? Grams said she could trust him, she saw that now but this was the one place she had to herself and her memories of Grams. Some part of her wanted to scream no and shut the door in his face but another part yearned to invite him and that part scared her.

Damon must have picked up her thought vibes because he began pleading, "Bonnie, please. I'm not here to bug you, I'll let you be. I just need you for a while."

She looked inside and answered, "What is it Damon?"

Damon almost smiled, almost. "I can't tell you, first let me in princess."

She turned her attention back to him, "Don't do this, just spit it out or I won't let you in."

"I can't tell you because I have to show you and I can't do it out here so just invite me already."

"No. You can't always have your way! You show me first."

"Bonnie! This is bigger than you and I! It's about Katherine!" just now realizing he was shouting. He looked around suspiciously making sure no one overheard them and whispered gently now, "I wouldn't risk this if it wasn't important. So can you, please?" He winced at his last word. He's never one to act this… needy.

After about five or so more he convinced her to finally let him in. Making her believe it was on her terms, agreeing to her rules, blah blah blah. She's got a thing coming if she thinks Damon Salvatore follows any rules, let alone hers.

The house were comfy and… light. The aura was just brilliantly white and radiating.

She asked him to sit on the couch while she changed. He mentally slapped himself because he was just now noticing the short cheerleading shorts and the tank top he's seen her wear many times when he used to date Caroline. He smiled mischievously and listened to Bonnie open a door somewhere down the hall and before she could close it he ran over and put his footing in place.

"Damon what are you doing? I thought I told you to sit and behave" she questioned furious.

"I'm not a dog Bonnie so I can't 'behave' but that's not the point. The point is you're rude."

She was appalled. Shocked, she stuttered for a second or two. "How am I rude? You're the rude one, get out of my way!"

"See that's exactly what I mean. No lady manners. A lady would say excuse me dear sir. But look at you. Anyhow, I was referring to you poor hospitality. Don't you know when a guest comes over you give them a tour of the house. I don't remember being offered one and as you know my memory is far better than yours." He added a quick smirk, proudly.

Oh he had her blood boiling alright. She was livid and that made him laugh, oh how he missed this!

"Damon I will light you on fire this isn't funny, go back to the living room." Somehow that only made him laugh even louder and harder.

She was almost in a trance when he finally stopped himself. He wiped a tear away, "Okay, okay I'll stop. But can you blame a guy? You're such an easy target like Stefan, only hotter and in cute bunny shorts!" He slapped his knee while she closed the door on him.

When she walked back outside he stood waiting, leaning against the wall like a model. "Oh come on! Boo. Lose the jacket and the sweatpants babe."

She rolled her eyes, "I am NOT your babe. Now show me what was so important that you had to ruin my perfectly good Saturday"

He got serious, "Right, it's this amulet." He fished in his leather jacket while he explained everything his chase after Katherine. "I need you to look in Emily's spell book and see if there is anything about this. And if you can't I need you to put a trace spell on it and find her so I can end her."

She looked reluctant but before she can deny him he added one more plea "I promised Sheila to protect you and I can't do it while Katherine is around, I really need your help, don't make me say the P word again" he pouted.

"Okay. Let me go get it from my Grams room, just stay here. That's one place I don't let anyone go into, it's important to me."

He nodded this time and agreed, he wasn't going to push her when she agreed to help. When she brought it out he smiled, a genuine one.

They sat on the couch for what felt like hours before Bonnie found something. Her voice brought him out of his dozing off.

"Here it is. It's a love talisman. It says it's a unique gold or brass amulet used for drawing strong love by the use of voodoo." She looked up at him confused. "What does Katherine want with this? I thought she compelled her love."

"She does, but she—I don't know. Hmmm, are you sure, let me see that?"

She scoffed, "Fine, the words aren't going to change if you read them you know."

"Haha Bonnie."

They sat in silence for a while, thinking about different things. After a while he broke the silence. "Um, thanks, you know for all of this."

She watched his expression and decided he was genuine; she nodded "You're welcome."

"So. Are you up for the trace spell or you, do you need time?"

She smiled at him.

"What?"

"Nothing"

"No there's something what it is Bonnie?"

"No, it's just this is the first time someone didn't demand it from me. You actually asked if I needed time. Thank you."

Oh, he didn't really think about it like that. It wasn't like her cared but it wasn't like he didn't care either, he just wanted her to trust him and now this.

"You're welcome witch, so are you?"

"Sure why not? Yeah let's get it over with, I don't have my crystal let me go grab it from my room and—"

"Let me finish it for you 'stay here Damon and behave' right?" he groaned.

She actually laughed. "I was just going to say help yourself to some drink; I know I don't have the best hospitality manners but I also don't have a 'How to treat your Vampire guests guide' sorry the paperboy must have missed my house."

Damon threw his head back and laughed wholeheartedly, "I like your jokes! Oh, good times. What kind of beer you got?"

She gave him a weird look, "No beer, just wine and tea, and juice and water but somehow you don't look the time for either of the last ones."

"In that case, no thanks" he said making a face.

She rolled her eyes and waved him off making her way to her room.

Just then Damon got a better idea. He beat her to her room. She gasped when she walked in and saw him lying on her bed. "What the hell?"

"Well since the drinks didn't work out, I'll take you up on another offer, I want a tour of your room."

He got up and rushed in front of her and smirked.

It was more fluffy than I inteded but I think it turned out alright, right? & Oh and I'm guessing the next part will be fun to write. I left it so banters can happen since they've become so serious. Let you guys have fun with that since I brought that tough change.

BTW this is the talisman: http://www.themysticcorner.com/dbDisplayImage.asp?productid=5438&currpage=Amulets.asp

I was thinking in the future sometime that may serve to make DB fall in love due to a spell haywire temporarily or something. Just in case we want a something like that (: Plus I really wanted to see what would happen if she went to her Grams he can't go in there. So this was reason that allowed him.

Ehh - whatever I'll shutup now =X

Love the twist you've added... Why would Katherine leave that there 😕...

Anyway...

The first half of your part (Stefan & Damon's scene) reminded me a little of the way they are with each other in the books 😆...

I was laughing out loud at Bonnie's "How to treat your Vampire guest" comment 🤣...

A-MAZING part 👍🏼...

I wonder if she'll give him a tour of her room? 😉 😆...

Absolutely, love, love, loved it! ⭐️...

👏 👏 👏
