14 Into into Torsion

I was lying on my bed lost in my thoughts about him. I haven't seen him in four days and he hasn't even tried to talk to me. Why's he not trying? What's up with him? As I was thinking all of this, I heard a knock on my door. I turned my head and saw Grams on the door. 

"Is something on your mind child?" I sighed and shook my head. She nodded and she came into my room and sat beside me. I shifted my head on her lap and she chuckled and she caressed my hair. "Is it a boy problem?" 

"Grams, What am I?" She hummed and I turned my head and looked at her, "Is this something to do with that boy?"

I nodded and she had a sullen expression on her face and she said, "What did he say?"

I looked at her face and I got up and said, "I just had this odd feeling when I touched him. He said I know everything I need to know and that I need to know who I am first…" I looked at grams face and I just chuckled and said, "It's crazy… we don't have to."

She grabbed my hand and said, "Bonnie… it's important." I looked at her and she was serious about this. "He knows what you are and that's why he has backed off you."

"Not again with the witch crap… grams. I don't believe it."

"But he does, why would he say you know everything? Why only you had the terrible feeling when you touched him?"

"What are you saying?"

"Even though I hate to admit it… he's right. You need to know who you are first and not by me by yourself."

She got up and I held her hand and asked, "Why are you talking about him like that? Like you know him?"

Grams just smiled and said, "I don't and I don't want to know him… he's not someone that many of our kind want to meet."

I was perplexed and baffled by her. What's with Tom?

(Tom's Pov)

I was sitting in the living room, drinking and thinking about what to do about Damon. As I was thinking I felt a sudden chill in my body. It was odd to say nonetheless but then I heard the door open and Stefan came inside. He saw me and asked, "What happened? Is Damon still there?"

I nodded and poured him a drink and told him to sit, "Come." I gave him the glass and reclined back.

He sat down and asked, "What is it?"

"Damon's here to get Katherine."

"What?" He looked at me with a baffling expression and I nodded, "How's that possible?"

"I don't know but that's why he's here and I'm pretty sure of it."

"Well, we don't have to worry about it now. He's taken care of and not going anywhere except the family crypt."

I nodded and he looked at me and asked, "What?"

I shook my head and said, "What if we helped him?"

"What?"

"Yeah, he wants Katherine, we give her to him and they both leave?"

He stood up and looked at me and said, "Do you not remember her? It's Katherine! She'll never leave. And why are you thinking about it? Damon is down there and he's not going anywhere."

He left in a huff and I just sat there watching, Katherine tear them apart even after 2 centuries. 

I sighed and drank the whiskey left in my glass. I got up and suddenly my phone rang. I looked and it was an unknown no. I picked it up and I heard a familiar voice.

"Hey."

"Hey." it was Caroline, why is calling me? I wondered.

"It's me Caroline."

"Yeah… I know."

She didn't say anything for a while and I asked, "Did you want something?"

"Oh… yeah. I know that Bonnie and you had a fight."

"I wouldn't call it a fight more like a tiff actually… but go on." I poured another glass of whiskey and started walking towards my room.

"Well, I don't know how to say this but Damon gave me something." 

"Oh… yeah… I don't know what he gave to you but I think you should get it checked out…"

"What?! No! That's not what I'm talking about." I hummed and she said, "He gave me this necklace or something so if you could I don't know have it… cause I'm not that comfortable with it. If it's not a problem."

"Yeah, sure… just tell me where and I'll be there. Should I come now?"

"No no no! My mom is in the house right now and I don't think it'll look well for me… how about tomorrow at school. There is this car wash thing we are doing it's called the sexy suds."

I chuckled and asked, "Did you call me just so that I can be at this car wash?"

"No! Don't be so full of yourself… but it would be nice if you come."

I hummed and nodded, "I'll be there."

"Thank you. Bye."

And before I could cut the call she hung up. "She's certainly in a hurry."

I got my sleep and even through the moaning and groaning sounds of Damon's suffering. I think it helped a bit. Well anyways… I got up a little late than usual. Stefan was already gone by then. I was walking down the stairs and I found Zack and he asked, "Where are you going?"

"Out?"

"Why? You know he's there right?"

"Yeah, exactly… so unless any of us go down there. Especially you, we'll be fine." 

I grabbed my flask and filled it a little with whiskey. "It's not safe… that's what I'm saying."

I chuckled and said, "Come on Zack, you'll be fine." I turned around and walked towards him and said, "He's down there and he's weak… if worst comes to worst. Stab him in the heart."

He was surprised when I said it and smiled and said, "He's my family but so are you. We need to stick together." I patted his shoulders and said, "You're in charge Zack."

After that little pep talk with Zack I got out of the house and made my way to the school in my beloved. As I arrived at school I saw swarm of people out in the sun having fun washing cars. As I pulled my car and I saw Bonnie looking at a bucket and then water started to blast off from the pipe and she was happy. "Damn." 

Suddenly I heard, "Hey." It was some girl that I didn't know. She smiled and said "Just put it there and we'll get started."

I shook my head and said, "Not why I'm here… where is Caroline."

"Oh." The disappointment in her voice spoke loudly. "I don't know she was here just a second ago." 

"Come on… please it's for a good cause."

She pleaded and I sighed and said, "Okay, but please do it carefully." I parked the car and got out of it. I gave her like 20 bucks and she started to wash it. I was watching her carefully, but for some reason she was. Doing it all how should I put it without sounding like a creep. Her intentions were less than honourable, let's just put it that way.

"What are you doing here?" I heard and I knew it was Bonnie.

I folded my hands and said "Came to support you guys." She walked a bit further and I asked, "Did you find out who you are?"

She clicked her tongue and said, "Why can't you just tell me?"

I turned my head and said, "Now where the fun in that?"

"I thought you liked me? I thought you were a good guy and not like Damon."

"I do like you… but I don't know if you like me or will and as far as Damon goes… I'm an ok guy compared to him." 

She left in a huff and I tried to call Caroline but she just didn't answer my call. "Where is she?"

A lot of time passed and I still couldn't find Caroline. I was getting bored so I decided to leave. As I was about to leave. I decided to check in on Bonnie, just to see how she was doing. 

I found her in the parking lot with a broom and she was staring at this pool of water and then it started to sizzle and then suddenly it caught fire. It spread like crazy and engulfed a car. I was a little impressed by the demonstration. I walked up to her and I held her hand and said, "Stop!" 

In an instant she broke out of her trance and looked at me and she asked, "What happened?"

I smiled and said, "You used magic."

She slipped her hand through my grip and walked away from there she looked at me but I just smiled and walked to my car. "It won't be long until you know Bonnie…" 

When I reached home, it was a little dark and I saw the house in a mess. I smelled blood, I followed it back to its origin and I found Zack lying dead on the ground, his neck snapped and bones sticking out. I sat down beside him and I said, "We should have killed that bastard."
