Bonnie woke up difficult. She opened her eyes. Everything was blurry and every limb on her body hurt. She felt a firm grip around her arm and someone pulled her up. Her head rocked back and forth when the same person slapped her in the face. “Booonniiee” a male voice sang. Damon, Bonnie realized. Slowly the events of the night before hit her fuzzy brain. Katherine, the attack, Damon’s anger. The room became more clear and she saw Damon standing right in front of her. “You’re awake” he said. “It’s about time” He made a step backwards, giving Bonnie the chance to catch a breath. “What do you want?” she asked scared to death but with a whiff of bitterness in her voice. Damon held his head diagonally. “I want to kiss you, make love with you, screw you until there’s nothing left to screw” he answered sarcastic and bitter. “What do you think I want? I want you to take away whatever’s keeping me in check. I want you to undo the spell you put on Elena” Bonnie shook her head, looking desperate. “I can’t, Damon, I’m sorry” Damon grabbed her neck, pressing her wound. She screamed. “And why can’t you?” he asked his voice caught in his throat. “The only way to free you is to kill me” Bonnie started and as a pleased smile appeared on Damon’s face Bonnies eyes filled with tears. “No, please, don’t” she begged. “I know you have every right to kill me, I deserved it. But think about Elena. She would never forgive you if you killed me… I know you love Elena” Without loosening his grip Damon answered: “Wow, even when she’s not around, you still find a way to use her as a persuasion” He let go of her and she walked away from him to the living room. She walked to the bookshelf where she got out a book. “I can’t undo the spell without being killed, but I can make it… lighter” she said, opening the book. Damon walked towards her. “What do you mean, lighter?” he asked suspicious. Bonnie browsed through the pages. “I can amplify your areas. So far you couldn’t go anywhere without me. I can change that, I can let you go wherever you want within this town” “Works for me, for now” Damon said. “And you can talk to whoever you want, even Elena. I won’t mind-torture you” Bonnie said breathless. “Well, you’re so thoughtful” Damon commented sarcastic. “How about Elena? Do you have to die for that, too?” “No, with Elena it’s complicated. There’s no reverse spell, she has to snap out of it on her own terms” Bonnie explained. “I can help her with that” Damon mumbled. “I got it. I need to hold your hands for this” she said carefully while she looked at Damon. Damon gave her his hands and looked away. This would all be soon over.
The waitress walked through the back door. She was taking a break. She felt two eyes on her and looked aside.
Cas was staring at her.
“Hi” she said. She walked to him. “You were acting strange earlier”
“I’m sorry” Cas mumbled. “You remind me of someone”
“Your girlfriend?” the waitress guessed.
Cas shook his head. “She wasn’t my girlfriend. She was my…”
“Sex buddy” the waitress helped. “I’m Lucy”
“I’m Cas” Cas said.
“Cas?” Lucy said intrigued. “That’s an uncommon name” She came closer to him and took his collar. She dragged him into one of the toilets and locked the door. She threw her arms around his neck and jumped in his arms. She kissed him and Cas forced her against the wall.
“Aaaahhh!” she exclaimed. She pushed Cas away and looked at him terrified.
“I’m sorry” Cas mumbled concerned.
“It’s okay” Lucy said, but Cas unlocked the door and ran away.

The next morning
Cas opened the door of the house and helped Daphne inside. He guided her to the sitting room and put her gently down on the couch.
“You know, I’ve been thinking” Daphne said. “With you around I don’t need a car. Makes things a lot cheaper”
“Can I get you something?” Cas asked.
Daphne shook her head. “You’re here. That’s enough for now”
Cas wasn’t used to that much gratitude and he’d have to adjust to it.
“Actually” Daphne started. “Could you give me the phone? I need to call the locksmith to tell him I won’t be needing his services after all. I gave Zoey her key back”
Cas smiled weak. “I’m glad you made it up with each other”

Cas kicked the door of their bedroom open. Daphne was sitting on top of Mitch.
“Daphne” Mitch said, looking at Cas.
“Don’t worry” Daphne said with a heavy voice. “That’s my husband. He knows I have my needs. It’s not my fault he’s incompetent”
Mitch pushed her off of him and searched for his clothes. Cas turned around and ran downstairs.
“What are you doing?” Daphne asked grumpy. “Come back in bed”
“Are you completely out of your mind?” Mitch exclaimed.
“Oh, please, you knew I was married” Daphne said.
“That was really low” Mitch said. “Get dressed. I’m done here. You go find someone else to consider your needs”
“Come on, don’t be like that” Daphne said.
They heard an enormous crack and they jumped.
“What the hell was that?” Mitch asked.
“Daphne” Mitch said, looking at Cas.
