Give all your energy for love

What started it all

      Bonnie, her short black brown hair all pinned back as she sat Indian style on my creamy whitish pink bed covers. The covers made small wrinkles toward where she was sitting in her floral loose shorts and baggy white t-shirt.
   Her arms laid over her legs and knees, in a meditation pose, candles lit around my room in a deep relaxing feeling.
      After about a half hour of complete silence and the slight flicker of the candles making erie shadows on my walls, I finally gave up on standing at the end of the bed and went to the window nook, along with my iPhone 6.
      "Elena! If you move I get unfocused!" Bonnie hissed at me through her perfect white teeth and plush lips. Rolling my eyes at her I sneered back "you've been focused for a half hour now and nothing has happened!" She suddenly relaxed her arms, opened her giant brown eyes, glaring at me.
        "If you were a witch you'd understand how hard it is to actually see something when your not literally looking at it" and then she slammed her eyes shut again.
        "Okay okay, I see Jeremy. He's opening the fridge I think, it pretty blurry.." She dragged out the y, pulling her lip to the side. "I think he's looking for milk, I mean he's always trying to get a bowel of chunky monkey"
      Snickering, Rick came to mind when I found him and Jenna outside, Rick naked, using a bowel of chunky monkey to hide himself.
       "Op, he found it... Empty. I'm guessing you drank it all again?" I covered my girlie smile with my hand, and Bonnie must've seen behind her closed eyes because she started laughing too.
      "He slammed it down on the counter, oh damn he must've just finished working out, his muscles are all sweaty and-" I plugged my ears with my pointer fingers and squeezed me eyes shut "ew enough enough that's my brother you're crushing on!" Bonnie gawked at me "want to say that any louder miss I'm in love with a vampire". Now I was the one gawking.
       "He's going to scream in three...two...one" and then came thunderous "ELENA!" From down below. "Dammit he probably woke Jenna up"
"What time is it?" Bonnie looked at me with her eyes shut "oh never mind your microwave says 11:57, and yeah Jenna's door is opening, and here she comes..." Great, is all I thought as my bedroom door opened.
      Jenna popped her head in, her brown hair up in a messy bun and green eyes dripping with tiredness. "Did he poor another bowel of chunky monkey without milk?" We both nodded, Bonnie with her eyes shut. "Witchy stuff?" She made random hand motions at Bonnie and I did a tired giggle and nodded.
    "Did you drink all the milk again?" I curled in my lip as I tried to hide my smile, she just nodded and turned to shut the door.
    Through the thick wood I could still hear her yell "cute P.j's by the way!" I looked down at my cherry red with white polka dots shorts and black tank top.
   Cocking my eyebrow I yelled "thanks!" back at her and stared back at Bonnie "now what?"
"I'm going to try to extend farther... Oh I see Rick!"
   "You got that far? Aren't they all the way at mystic grill?" She shook her head "no... They're in a parking lot, and there's a girl with them, oh my god Elena that's another witch!" I shot up like a rocket. What would another witch be doing there?
   "Bonnie what's happening?" Bonnie started shaking and getting short breathed. "I don't know, it keeps changing. Ricks calling Stefan right now, he says he needs to call me.. Why would he-" her breath caught short, and her eyes opened wide.
   "Bonnie, what is it?" I was by her side in seconds, rubbing her back, and having her squeeze my hand. "Bonnie talk, what did you see?" She gasped for air then looked at me "Stefan's on his way, we need to go there now"
    "Bonnie why what happened!" She grabbed my wrist. "The witch, she cast a spell. It's slowly starving Damon, no matter how much blood he drinks." I shot up "Damon?" She nodded at me.
  "Bonnie we can't wait we need to go there now" and out I was, barefoot, running down my street, as the rain clouds finally let their floods poor down upon me.
   I attempted to call Jeremy while running but it was too hard and my phone was getting too drenched. My feet were starting to go numb on the icy cold sidewalk, along with my whole body. My clothes clung to me like a baby's hand in a girls hair. My messy bun fell out in seconds, the hair tie left to drown.
   I made it there in about a two minutes, their house doors left a crack open while I sprinted in, up the stairs, and tripping. My wet feet had slid on the wooden steps and my face planted down onto the floor. My slippery hands caught my head before it bashed, but not before my lip was split open.
   Down the hall and to the left, led me into the giant room known as Damon's. Stefan wasn't there, he was probably at my house by now, picking Bonnie and her spell books up.
    I saw an incredibly tired Rick leaning again the post of his bed, his phone to his ear, but as he looked up at me, he hung up. His hair was messy from sweat and rain, but his clothes were pretty much dry. But he didn't care to stay dry because he came at me in an instant, wrapping me in a big hug and lifting me off the ground. I was shocked by his wave of affection. 
    Damon was laying on the King size bed, his color slowly draining as he laid with his eyes shut, his hair looking even more black next to his pale skin. My heart started to drop as Rick set me down, my eyes staying on Damon.
    "Where's everyone else?" Rick questioned me. "I ran ahead, as soon as I heard he was hurt by the witch I just couldn't sit there and wait-"
   "Wait how'd you know the witch got him?" I waved my hand at him "Bonnie was doing witchy stuff, how'd you let this happen, you know Damon is not responsible to be left alone with anyone let alone a witch! Why were you even with a witch?" Rick glared at me.
   "We were supposed to be seeing her to help us find Zak"
    "Zak, who's Zak!" A cracked voice came behind me "he's the guy who decided to go searching for the doppelgänger so he could have doppelgänger children and then turn them into killer hybrids to rid the entire world of vampires" Damon looked at me and smiled a fake smile. "Now unless you want to go and make yourself a mommy, I would suggest you stop interrogating Rick and tell me why the hell you're here, he could come here any minute-" "I invited them all here so we could first of all, save your dying ass and Bonnie could put up a protecting spell of some voodoo".
I crossed my arms in front of me "you shouldn't have messed with a witch Damon for the sake of me! You're dying all for one stupid guy!"
"A guy that could ruin your life in the matter of two seconds Elena! My dumb brother brought you into this world and if he thinks that your world is going it be all sunsets walks on the beach and all then I'll be the one who protects you" he suddenly looked furious, licking his spitty lips and taking much effort to lift his head up.
       "Damon I'm well capable of protecting myself and Stefan is always there for me, and you don't need to protect me-" his eyes shot blue fire almost.
"YES ELENA! I do! Stefan and you may be destined to be together but at the end of the day I will be the one to protect you-"
          Bonnie came in at that moment. Her spell book was already open, and Stefan came in right after her. His dark brown eyes widened as he saw me. "Elena? You're soaking wet!" He did his super speed and in seconds he was wrapping a towel around me. I flinched and walked away from him. "Stefan you shouldn't have let him just go and do that, you know we could've had it all under control if one of you would've told me first" I glared at both of the boys and they both rolled their eyes. Before either of them could've protested, Bonnie spoke up. "There's a spell, but we need a human, or a least not a vampire to do it" I raised my hand up.
      "No Elena it's too dangerous, you could die" I shook my head, and Stefan grabbed my hand, I jerked away as he said "no, you heard her, you're not going to risk yourself for my brother". My hazel eyes shot daggers at him as I spit out at him saying "you know more than anyone else in this room you need Damon more than you need anyone else".
Stefan let his head hang after holding my gaze too long and I knew he knew I was right. Nodding I looked back at Bonnie "what do I do" she grimaced. "It's gross, I hope you don't have a light stomach" I gulped.
Moments later I was sitting on a stool on the edge of the bed, both of me and Damon's wrist being prepared to get cut open. "Elena, you shouldn't do this-" Alaric's voice sounded behind me, when I whipped my head around "you guys would do it for me, wouldn't you?" With no other protest, the magic went on.
     The magic only worked if our blood was shared, after having Bonnie put the same spell over both of us. My energy was supposed to be put into him, and my human blood would clean him and myself as I took in his poisoned blood, I could now see how it was easy if I died.
"I guess it's good Elena's doing it" Bonnie said, through sighing. She ran her fingers through my hair, and took a deep breath. "Why? She shouldn't even be doing it" Damon croaked, but the veins that crossed over his face showed he was starving, trying to avoid the pulse at my wrist, and I tightened at his weak voice. "Having a good relationship between someone during this spell can increase the chances of both of your survival, something about having an effect on them turns their energy up higher" we both nodded, a little confused still. "Ready?"
Bonnie slit both of our wrist, I winced but Damon seemed pretty used to being cut open by now, lucky he would heal instantly after this.
"Last thing, think about moments you guys have shared" I didn't reply or anything as Damon and I gave each other our wrist. The veins protruded from his face more, hungry driving him to far to resist any smell of blood, no matter how much his arms tried to keep me away, but I forced my wrist closer, his lips burning hot.
        Bonnie started saying things as the red liquid dripped into my mouth, making my eyes squeeze shut.
To get the disgusting taste out of my mind I started thinking of memories.
First was the first time I met him, how he had kissed my hand and his hair was messier then.
Then, taking shots at the bar on our road trip, but another image flashed in my mind. What? No I wasn't thinking of that time.
It was our first dance, at the Mrs. Mystic falls. My dress royal blue, when Stefan went off the rails and Damon saved me from humiliation. The first time I realized how sexy he was. What? Why was I thinking of those things? I couldn't stop them either, not just the memories, but the emotions, real or hidden. I squeezed my eyes harder as I heard a voice in my mind, it didn't sound like mine. It whispered "I wouldn't let her be alone"
What was happening. My free hand came up, grabbing Damon's wrist, trying not to focus on the sickening blood, and the feeling like my body was going numb as my blood was drowned, or the feeling of his sharp fang in my wrist.
I tried to think of other memories, but other ones that I had never seen before came to mine. I could see myself, see him. See him handing me my necklace as I stood in my pj's. Then it switched to him laying in the road, his head turning as he saw me on the phone.
I squeezed harder, and I felt a strong hand grab my thigh. My eyes opened wide, to see Damon's blue eyes staring back at mine. But I could still hear the voices go through my mind. I shivered, my wet hair soaking into my black tank top.
I heard "this is probably the most selfish thing..." And "you want a love that consumes you, you want passion, adventure, and even a little danger..." My eyebrows furrowed and I shut my eyes again. Seeing his still in my head, looking different, looking sad, a tears sliding down over his carved features as he said "I love you, Elena". I fell to the floor.
