Damon and Elena were standing in front of Bonnie’s house, waiting for Bonnie to open up. Elena looked from the door to Damon, seeming to be uncomfortable. “Maybe you should let me do the talking” she suggested. “Like you said, you and Bonnie are not the best friends” Damon pursed his lips. “Suuuure, all you want” he said with a smirk and a wink. The door went open and Bonnie looked at them. “Hi, Elena” she said and hugged her friend. She looked at Damon as if he was dirt. “Sorry, but I’m not going to hug you” “But that would’ve been the highlight of my day!” Damon said sarcastic, which gained him an angry eyeshot from Elena. “Don’t play games with me, Damon” Bonnie said. “Say what you want and get the hell out of here” Elena made a step forward. “We need your help” she showed her the necklace. “We need you to put a spell on this, so it can protect people from the sun” Bonnie’s face stiffened. “By people you mean vampires, I assume” she said with a cold voice that didn’t suit her, but that usually was reserved for Damon. “Well, yeah” Elena said reluctantly. Bonnie shook her head. “I can’t believe you’re asking me this, Elena. I’m going against all of my believes if I do this. Last time I helped them I almost lost Jeremy! I won’t go through that again!” she said upset. She turned to Damon. “This is your idea, isn’t it? Of course it is. Only you can come up with something that tactless. You really have no shame-whoah” Bonnie lost her balance and Damon caught her by her shoulders, pushing her back on her feet. “Bonnie, are you okay?” Elena asked concerned. She nodded. “Damon, let’s go” Elena said softly. “She’s right. We were wrong to ask her” She and Damon turned around and walked away.
“Wait!” they heard a few seconds later. They turned around again, waiting for Bonnie to catch up with them. “Who do you want to protect?” she asked serious.
“It’s not that I want it” Elena started. “But we have to protect Katherine. We need her to find Stefan back. She knows Klaus better than Damon and I”
“How do you know she’s not playing tricks with you? Maybe she will lead you right in his arms” Bonnie said.
“I survived him once. Facing him again is a risk I’ll have to take” Elena answered.
“And what if Damon and Katherine are cooperating in killing you? Offering you to Klaus to get Stefan back?” Bonnie continued.
“I can’t speak for Katherine, but I know I can trust Damon” Elena said.
“Why?” Bonnie asked unbelieving.
Elena looked at Damon and he looked back right in her eyes. “I have my reasons” she softly said.

Katherine was sitting on a chair. A row of small stakes pinched each arm to the arm-rests and a special kind of muzzle kept her mouth shut. The muzzle also had stakes, smaller than the arm stakes, and they pierced through Katherine’s jaws. “I’m sorry for the inconvenience” Veronica said demeaning. “Actually, I’m not. You had this coming. You broke in here, you threatened me” She took a chair and put it down in front of Katherine. “Such a pity Derek chose the wrong side. If he hadn’t Damon Salvatore would be sitting next to you”
Katherine managed to produce a smirk.
“Oh, don’t be so smug” Veronica sniffed. “I’ll get to him. He’s the one that killed Kelsey. He will die a slow and painful death” she said, more to herself than to Katherine. She stood up and walked to a corner, where she picked up her cross-bow. “In the meantime” she said, while she aimed the crossbow at Katherine. “I have you to have fun with” and she fired.

Damon raced outside and got into his car. He turned around the keys and drove onto the street. He then pushed the accelerator pedal and raced ahead.
He tried to keep his eyes open. He should have drunken some blood, if only just a little bit. He could almost feel his body breaking inside. But he had to stay awake long enough to get to the hospital.
Other drivers were hooting, because he drove from right to left and from left to right.
“Where did you get your driving license?!” someone yelled angry.
Damon felt his eyes fall down. The car drove for another few yards, while other drivers tried to avoid it.
Then the car drove off the road, turned over three times, landed on its upper side and caught fire.
