Cursed Blessings

Chapter 3

Upstairs

"My life is crazy...this is all crazy," Bonnie spoke from her spot by the large window of the bedroom Caroline had barricaded them both inside of.

"Bon, I am so sorry that this is happening to you, I didn't know that Kai jerk or all the things that happened between you two in that prison world..." Caroline replied as she stood near the door, readying to defend Bonnie if somehow Damon came after her. "But sweetie none of this is your fault, and I am not going to let anyone hurt you or your baby."

"I don't even want this baby," Bonnie spoke out as she stared down at the slight swell of her belly, while she gently rubbed her hands across it, her actions in contrary to her words. "So don't feel like you have to protect it, as for me maybe it would be better for everyone..." She was quickly cut off by Caroline.

"No, don't say it don't even think it. Ever since I've known you, you have always been the one to sacrifice yourself for everyone else's happiness, and mainly for Elena's happiness." Caroline stated as she turned and stepped closer to her friend. Bonnie turned and regarded her with a frown on her face about to protest but Caroline cut her off again. "When we were little and you invited Elena and me over for your little tea parties, you'd always let Elena be the Hostess, and wear the tiara because she would always fake cry whenever you or I wanted to wear it. In grade school when we had that play about Old MacDonald's farm, you were picked to play the farmer's wife and Elena was supposed to be a cow, and she had a hissy fit about it. You switched with her just to make 'her' happy. Oh and then there was the Miss Mystic Falls competition when we were 15, everyone knew that you were going to win it but you suddenly dropped out at the last minute saying you got some kind of food poisoning, but I know you only did that because Elena told you she wanted to be Miss Mystic Falls to impress some boy at the time. Bonnie you have spent your life playing second fiddle to Elena Gilbert, and before it was no big; throwing some competition...giving her a part in some silly play, but now this is about your life, Bon. Are you really willing to die for Elena?" Caroline asked as she looked to her friend.

"I may not have a say in it. Care, me and this baby are the only things keeping Damon from Elena, and you know he would do whatever he had to, to get Elena back. Last time he chose me because it was just 70 years keeping him from Elena, a long time by human standards but doable for a vampire. There was a light at the end of the tunnel, there was hope. Now it's kill me or Elena never ever wakes up. I've gotten to know Damon pretty well these past few months I would even say he's one of my closest friends now," That made Caroline roll her eyes and toss out a 'hmph', and Bonnie smiled a bit at the jealous behavior. "But given the current scenario I'm not so sure he would choose me over Elena this time, even if I am carry his child."

Back Downstairs

"You can untie me I'm not going to hurt Bonnie," Damon said from his position chained with his feet firmly on the ground while his arms spread outward, and were linked from one of the sturdy ceiling beams in the main entrance. Stefan and Alaric chose that spot because they knew that no matter how much Damon pulled he'd never break his bindings.

"Wish we could believe that, but the way you were looking earlier suggested otherwise," Stefan said as he stood before his brother, staring up at him with his arms folded across his chest. "Until we can figure this out we'll..."

"There's nothing to figure out. As for earlier I admit I lost it for a moment at hearing what Kai had done, but c'mon do you honestly think I would kill Bonnie?" Damon spat out.

"Do you remember our nephew, Zach?" Stefan threw out and Damon's mouth shut and his jaws clinched as he silently glared down at his younger brother. "...and his pregnant girlfriend Gail?" He added as Alaric looked on curiously and in confusion. "You killed them Damon without a care in the world. Gail was 8 months pregnant and you snapped her neck for no other reason than to get back at me because I had pissed you off. So yeah I know you could kill Bonnie and your unborn child, and for Elena I believe that you most definitely would."
