"Good Morning, Mr Salvatore." I sigh, twisting round to look at the glorious man kissing my neck.

His usual pale blue eyes seemed brighter this morning, meaning he snuck out last night and hunted without me. I scowled at him. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep up the anger for too long, I mean it's just too hard. Really I shouldn't bother trying at all, but colour me stubborn.

"You hunted without me." I said.

"I was starving early this morning and you looked so beautiful and peaceful asleep so I left you there. I'm sorry." His mesmerizing eyes widened and he attempted the Bambi look. You know the all innocent doe eyed look that only seems to be accomplished by me and Bonnie. I laughed at him, holding my sides in case they split. When he started tickling me, the laughter got louder.

"Stop it." I giggled.

"Make me."

Well, I never was one to ignore a challenge. I rolled over and pinned him down. I teased him for a second, making him moan. Then I slowly leaned in, before he got impatient and threw me off him and kissed me instead. I had regained my position when there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." I called.

You do realize, love, that you're only wearing your underwear, don't you?

I looked down and yes I was wearing nothing but the lacy underwear Damon had got me last Christmas.

Do you realize you're only wearing boxers?

He looked down.

Touché.

I leapt off him and into the wardrobe, and threw him some clothes. What should I wear today? I thought.

Casual or slightly dressy? Aha. Black skinny jeans, deep blue, long sleeved, button-up shirt and Black All Star Converses. I'm dressed before Stefan finally decides to come in the room.

"How may I help you this fine morning, Stef-Stef?" Damon asked. Creative, I thought, considering there's not many nicknames you can make out of Stefan.  Damon throws me a quick smile.

"We need to talk about this Loki situation." Stefan says throwing me a pointed look.

"Well let's go downstairs and talk with the others." I say.

"He means the three powerful, useful vampires, Elena." Damon explains.

"O-kay. What's there to talk about?" I ask, taking a seat next to Damon on our bed.

"How are we going to kill him? Who's going to kill him and what if someone dies trying?" Stefan's eyes pierced into mine as he said the last one. Of course, he'd look at me. He's still not convinced I'm stronger than the two of them put together.

"No one's dying, Stefan. I won't let it happen. As to how and who, well leave it up to me."

"You're trying to be the saviour for everyone Elena. You can't let everything fall on you-"

"Tell me then Stefan, what are you going to do up against Loki, when he's throwing Black Magic at you, when he's got his minions coming at you from all sides, huh? I'm the only one strong enough, powerful enough to face him. I'll do it alone, that way no one gets in my way and no one else gets hurt." My eyes unintentionally flicker to Damon's face, and I pull my gaze off him hoping neither of them noticed.

"I'm a big boy, Elena. I don't need you protecting me, but it's my job to protect you." Damon said.

"Your job? You two both know that if it came down to it, I could kick both your asses and do my nails at the same time."

"That maybe true, but it doesn't mean you won't need help-"Stefan started.

"It means exactly that, I don't want your help and before you interrupt," I said, pointing at Damon.

"If you are there, I'll get all distracted and what if he tries to use you, huh? What if he traps one of you two, or Bonnie, Matt, Meredith or Alaric?"

"We'll deal with it if it comes to it."

"No. We won't, because as usual it'll be up to me. If anyone gets hurt, you know I'll torture myself with it forever. So no. We're not discussing it anymore. I'm doing it alone and you two will stay here and protect the others from Tweedledum and Tweedledee a.k.a Shinichi and Miaso."

"Elena-"

"I'm not listening!" I said, walking to the door, before it was blocked by a stern-faced Stefan.

"Stefan, get out of my way." I said, forcefully.

"We are talking about this."

"Hate to break it to you, Stefan, but there's no way on this earth that's going to make me change my mind about this. So unless you get out of my way, I'm going to owe Bonnie a new door."

"Why would you owe Bonnie a door?" He asked, confusion dominant on his face.

"There'll be a Stefan-shaped hole in her old one." I said, raising my eyebrows, telling him don't doubt me.

He glared at me. I held my ground, lulling him into a safe sense of security, letting him think he'd won, taking a few steps back towards the bed. I turned to Damon, winking at him. Two Salvatore's completely confused a new personal best. I ran to the window.

"C'mon boys, think about it. Where's the only other exit?" I said, as I was about to jump out the window. Damon tried aimlessly to grab me, but he caught nothing but air. I was safely on the ground out in the open. I looked up towards the window, and saw Damon jumping out. I quickly ran into the forest behind me. Damon was faster than me, but only because he had over four centuries under his belt. However, I know this forest like the back of my hand. I pushed my aura round my body, sending it to my eyes, giving me enhanced vision and to my ears, enhancing my hearing. I could hear Damon's light footfalls not too far behind me, so I sped up.

I blocked him from my mind and pulled my aura right in so he couldn't track either and just kept running. I know he was still behind me. I could hear him, calling my name and cursing in Italian, which he still hasn't taught me yet. I quickly climbed a tree, I think it was a birch, and settled in. Damon slowed down as he realized I had come to a stop somewhere close. How can I find him so fascinating when he's hunting me?

His head whipped up to where I used to be, as now I'm perching on a tree opposite to where I was.

"C'mon, Elena! Don't play games with me right now. I'm not in the mood for hide and seek."

Well maybe I am, I thought. I leapt quietly to the ground, and transformed into a doe.

Hopefully, he won't realize it's me. I take my chance and run just past him. Looks like hope doesn't like me today. He grabbed me as I darted by him, twisting my front leg. I changed into a snow leopard and growled at him. He let go and backed slowly away. I cornered him up against a tree.

"Elena, what are you doing?!?" Damon asked, surprised.

Bonnie's POV

Recently, I've been feeling even more afraid than usual. For the first time since I discovered I was a witch, the reason I've been feeling afraid isn't because of the supernatural, or because I'm sharing my house with three vampires (one being Damon), but because of these feelings I'm having. Towards Matt.

I think I'm falling in love with him. I'm in love with Matthew Honeycutt. It's a huge weight off my chest to admit it, even if it's only to me. I can't help thinking that this is happening at the wrong time. I've got so much to worry about and now this too. If I wasn't already crazy, I'd go insane. You have to be crazy in my world, otherwise you wouldn't survive.

 People don't give me enough credit, though. I try my best to be brave and even though I faint (a lot) it's not my fault. Meredith is probably the worst, even if she doesn't realize it. She's only human, so she can't sympathise with what I have to go through. Like the time we were travelling through into the Dark Dimension, and I fainted on the boat ride. I could feel the judgement coming from Meredith, even though she held her tongue. I can hear things better than most, not to mention see things that the others can't. Dark, twisted things that a 19 year old girl shouldn't see. Well 17 at the time, but you know what I mean. Elena gets it though. She understands me. Why I'm scared all the time. She said to me before she left that the same things that scare me, terrify her too. She's in the same boat, but she is the master of hiding her emotions now. Damon saw to that.

Anyway back to Matt.

"Hey Matt!" I called to him. The lazy butt was still in bed, as was everyone else. I could hear giggling coming from Damon and Elena's room. Yuck, let's not go there Bonnie, I tell myself.

I shake myself from my thoughts as Matt trudges down the stairs, still in his PJ's.

"What do you need Bon?" A very sleepy Matt asks.

"We're running out of groceries, so I need an armed escort really, but if you're too tired-"

"No, no. I'll go, just let me get ready and I'll come with." He gives me a small smile that makes my heart race. His eyes are so blue. I walked over to the couch and contemplated what we were about to do. You see, the town has been completely abandoned. Everyone had left except George, but that had been a shock.

At the supermarket, there was no one to sell us the food and other essentials, so we had to just take them. The supermarket was left open by its owner when they were running for their lives. Shinichi and Miaso are such pains in the butts. I looked up as Matt walked into the room

"You ready?" He asked me, strapping one of the blessed guns into his jacket.

I nodded. I took his hand as we were walking out the door, but this was normal for us now. We always held hands. I heard the beginning of an argument between Stefan and Elena, but couldn't hear what was being said, so we left.  

We were halfway to the supermarket, when I felt him close. Loki. I felt him inside my head taunting me.

No one is here to protect you now, witch. I'm coming for you and you're little boyfriend.

I clutched Matt's hand tighter and he gave me a questioning look. He must have seen the fear in my eyes, as he pulled me into his side and drew the gun.

Blessed bullets won't work against me, child. I've far greater power than you.

"T-the-they won't work, Matt," I said stumbling my words. "He's too powerful for us and he's coming."

"Try calling Elena or Salvatore."

I saw Loki running out of the forest beside me.

ELLLLLLEEEEENNNNNNNNAAAAAA!!!!  I screamed as he grabbed us.

Elena's POV

I could hear someone calling me, and as much as I wanted to, I couldn't stop from what I was doing. This was going to destroy my life forever, as I cornered my soul mate. I couldn't stop moving forward, even when he asked me what I was doing. Damon, my love, my life, and my whole world, had his back pressed against a tall tree, as I was advancing forward.

"Elena, stop. What are you doing?"

I could do one thing at least to stop myself. I shifted back into my human state. My hair was wild, my clothes were ripped, and I was kneeling on all fours. I dug my fingers into the dirt, and threw myself onto the ground. Something was controlling me, and I couldn't do anything about it. My head was filled with deadly thoughts. Someone was trying to get me to kill him. I started to bawl at the scenarios playing themselves over and over in my head.

"What's happing to me?" I cried, looking up at a somewhat frightened Damon.

He tried to come towards me, very slowly and cautiously.

"Don't touch me!" I yelled at him, throwing myself back against a tree yards away from him. He stopped when he saw the absolute fear all over my face.

"You're bleeding." He said.

I looked down at my body, my arm was cut open. Must've been a branch, from when I threw myself. I was regaining control over my body, and I reached out to Damon and he quickly crossed the distance.

Suddenly, my head was on fire on the inside. I screamed in Damon's arms.

"What? What's wrong?"

"My head-it's burning." I sobbed.

Sweetie, move for a second. He let go off me and took a few steps back.

Wings of Protection. My head killed even more, as whatever was inside my head, was battling my wing powers. I cried and shook. I grabbed my head, and started rocking back and forth.

Eventually, Wings of Protection won out and I slumped to the ground, tired. Damon lifted me up and carried me back to the house. He kicked the door open and Stefan was a blur in front of us.

"What happened?" He asked, looking worried.

"Something took control of her body, made her attack me," He paused as he placed me on the couch. I let my eyes close, but he shook my shoulder gently.

"Leave me alone." I groaned.

"She fought against whatever it was, and started to regain control over herself and it started burning her mind."

Is she weak? I heard Stefan quietly ask Damon.

She's not weaker. Her mental state is tired from the battle. Physically she's stronger than the both of us.

"I can hear you both discussing me as though I'm not here," I moaned. "Why do you want to know whether or not I'm weaker, Stefan? Are you planning on killing me in my sleep?" I joked.

"No Elena. Bonnie and Matt were taken by Loki." He barely even whispered it.

"Did I hear you right? Bonnie and Matt have been taken?"

He nodded.  I jumped up like a shot, determined to find and kill that kitsune once and for all.
