“You shouldn’t have come here” Damon said nervous. “Go away”
“I will” Elena said. “With you. Can you get up?”
Damon shook his head. “I have to stay here…I have to make amends”
Elena frowned. “What are you talking about? Just get up and come with me. And please open your eyes”
Damon shook his head again. “I can’t open them. It hurts too much” he said a little ashamed. But Elena didn’t listen and pushed his eyelids up. She regretted it immediately.
“What has she done?” she asked shocked.
“Vervain” Caroline said.
“Why doesn’t he heal?” Elena asked.
“Because I don’t want him to”
Damon turned his face to the mural and started scratching it with his knuckles. As they bled Bonnie appeared.
“Hello, Elena” she said. Maybe she was too focused on Elena to see Caroline, Tyler and Jeremy and if she did see them, she ignored them. “I’m glad you could make it on time”
She sounded like herself.
“On time for what?” Elena asked careful.
“To watch my show” Bonnie answered with a smile. She turned to Damon. “Daaaaammmmoooon” she sang.
Damon kept his eyes on the mural and mumbled something.
“Damon, why don’t you tell Elena what you’ve learned tonight?” Bonnie said with a whiff of pride.
His eyes still on the mural he said: “I’m evil. I’m a worthless, useless waste of space. I’m not even worth spitting on. I’m a monster. I’m a sinner and for my sins I have to make amends” he rumbled like it was something he knew por heart. “I deserve this pain, I deserve to die. I don’t deserve to be loved”
Elena took Damon’s face in her hands and made him turn away from the wall. She took his hand and let him touch her hair. “You feel that? Long, straight hair. I’m here, Damon. I’m here because of you. You’re not evil. Just because someone does something bad doesn’t mean that someone is a bad person. You’ve taught me that. You’re not worthless or useless, because I need you. And if there is one person on this planet who deserves amor it’s you” she pleaded.
“Yawn” Bonnie said. “Heyyy! There’s mais he can do. Damon, you must be hungry. Why don’t you feed?”
For an instant Elena thought he was going to bite her, but then he lifted up his seriously damaged arm and bit his wound again.
“No!” Elena gasped upset. “Stop doing that, Damon” she looked at Bonnie. “Make him stop!”
“Damon, that’s enough” Bonnie said and Damon stopped. “Happy now?”
“What happened to his arm? Other than you forced him to feed on himself” Elena asked shaken up.
“Oh” Bonnie said. “I broke it…He was trying to hurt me” She walked to Damon, grabbed his unbroken arm and dragged him away from Elena.
“What are you doing?” Elena asked scared.
“Bonnie, you have to stop” Caroline said.
“Why? Because you say so? Should I listen to a vampire? Witches don’t get involved with vampires, haven’t you heard?” Bonnie snapped.
“Well, you’re doing a pretty good job of the opposite” Caroline snapped back.
Bonnie turned to Damon. Elena picked up her pick-axe and carefully walked to her. She raised the pick-axe high above her head, but when she wanted to cleave Bonnies head the axe came in contact with an invisible force.
Elena felt how she was lifted off the ground and she was thrown back against the wall.
“Elena!” Jeremy exclaimed and he ran to her.
Bonnie turned around and walked to her.
“You shouldn’t have done that, Elena” she said. “Now I’m really angry”
“I will” Elena said. “With you. Can you get up?”
Damon shook his head. “I have to stay here…I have to make amends”
Elena frowned. “What are you talking about? Just get up and come with me. And please open your eyes”

Tyler opened his eyes and gasped for air. The night was slowly giving in to the dia and Tyler was still tied onto that chair.
“Good morning, sunshine” Klaus said, who was sitting in front of him in Indian style. He had a small flask in his left hand. “I hope you’re hungry”
“Can’t you just let me go already?” Tyler said, who was having trouble breathing. Blood came streaming from his eyes. What was wrong?
“I can’t let you go” Klaus said. “Not before you had breakfast” He continued, waving the flask. He scribbled up and opened the flask.
Tyler pressed his lips together, but Klaus easily separated them and poured the blood that was in the flask into his mouth.
“Now you won’t be so eager to run off, now will you?” Klaus said as he untied Tyler.

Elena and Bonnie were sitting outside the Grill, both having a lemonade, when both their phones rang.
“Bonnie” Bonnie said.
“Hello, Elena speaking” Elena said, trying not to give away anything and hoping Bonnie would be too caught up in her own conversation.
“It’s time” Damon said. “Meet me at the Boarding House. I’ll be in the car” He ended the conversation.
And so did Bonnie. “Elena, I’m so sorry, but I have to go” she apologized.
“Oh?” Elena said sheepish.
“Yeah, I’m having a encontro, data tonight” Bonnie blushed.
“Really? That’s great! Who’s the lucky one?” Elena fired her curiosity.
“Ehm, I rather not say. At least not until it’s official” Bonnie said.
“Of course, I get it” Elena said. Bonnie put some money on the table. “See you tomorrow?”
“Yeah, tell me all that happened” Elena waved as Bonnie walked away. The moment she was gone Elena jumped up and ran away as if she was being chased.
“Bonnie” Bonnie said.
