Inaction's and Consequences

Chapter 61

Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to The Vampire Diaries, TV show or books. However I decided to have a little play around with the characters (I would definitely like to play with Damon).

The next day had been spent with Enzo going through his time with the Augustine's. He described many of the sickening surgical procedures he'd been forced to endure over the decades. For his part, Damon had struggle to listen to Enzo's story for very long. A combination of a reminder of his own suffering under the hand of Dr. Whitmore, and his guilt of not rescuing Enzo was too much for him to bear. Instead he'd sat alone in the study getting drunk, until Elena joined him. She told him they'd started to go through her father's journals, and she couldn't stand to hear what Enzo had endured from his perspective.

Other than the small blips of Damon and Elena not being able to listen to Enzo's entire story, the rest of the weekend had gone quietly while plans were being made for their little missions the following week. Damon had spoken to Liz, who'd been happy to allow him to pretend to be on a recruitment drive for assistance with the Founders Council. Damon knew Liz would be prepared to ensure Caroline's secret was kept, even if it meant outing the practically non-existent council. Bonnie was on Enzo watch, and Caroline and Stefan were planning Elena's baby shower, which had been postponed due to being busy with the Enzo situation.

On Monday morning, Damon, Elena, Stefan, Bonnie and Enzo were stood in the Salvatore kitchen getting ready for the day. Caroline was back at the dorm, while Bonnie had stayed the night as she was going to take Enzo out for the day as promised. Damon and Elena were planning to go to the Augustine meeting while Caroline and Stefan studied, or in truth, re-planned Elena's delayed baby shower for the following weekend as it had been delayed due to the mayhem which had ensued with rescuing Enzo. Stefan's apartment still looked like a mother and baby store.

"So love, where are we going today?" Enzo smiled at Bonnie, he'd been pestering her since she'd reluctantly agreed to take him out for the day.

"It's a surprise." Bonnie scowled. "She'd decided to take him for a haircut, to buy cell phone, shop for some clothes and then, depending on how they were doing for time, maybe a bar later. She figured as long as she kept him on a tight magical leash, she shouldn't have any problems with him.

"Can we go looking at automobiles?" he asked, as Bonnie and Elena both nearly spat their coffee out at his old-fashioned terminology. "Fine, cars then." he corrected himself as he saw their reaction.

"Why would you want to do that?" Bonnie frowned at the strange question.

"Maybe I want to buy one." Enzo shrugged.

"I doubt you'll find many Jaguar convertibles around here." Damon shrugged.

"Ah Damon, you remembered." Enzo smiled."Well I'm sure I can find something equally alluring."

"We don't have time today." Bonnie told him. "Maybe tomorrow." she winced at the thought of how behind she was going to get with her classes.

"What's the matter love, bored of me already?" Enzo smirked.

"I've got classes tomorrow." Bonnie sighed. "Occult studies."

"Why don't I take him?" Damon offered. "You all take that class, but I don't. Don't want you to getting in trouble with Ric for skipping his class." he said turning to Bonnie. "Bon Bon, surely you can witchy woo me together with Enzo here, so he doesn't escape too far." he suggested.

"It's not a bad idea." Elena shrugged.

"True." Stefan nodded.

"And trust me." Damon turned to Enzo. "You don't want to go car shopping with her, she drives a Toyota Prius." he chuckled.
