Chapter 2: noticing things?
Bonnie woke up surrounded by pillows and soft black and gold silk sheets. She could feel the gentle touch of fingers and the coolness of water on her forehead, along with hot breath near her face. Bonnie slowly opened her eyes and almost jumped out her skin seeing Damon hovering over her.
"ahhhhh!" she began to hit at Damon. Bonnie jumped on him still twisted up in sheets.
"Get your paws off me ancient one!" she began to swat at him causing Damon to fall off the bed highly amused because he had no idea this was Bonnie. What was staring him in the face was Elena and he was utterly entertained by her new found kick ass attitude. Damon hadn't smiled in ages and Elena being the cause of that smile was so new.
"Woah Elena calm down you're in my room, you past out at the grill. So I brought you back here to have my wicked way with you."Damon winked.
God she was glowing and radiating something special off, it was a foreign feeling to him well in that he'd never felt that vibe with Elena before, it was almost magical. Not to mention at the grill tonight she was turning him on but it wasn't her looks that really got him hot and bothered when she was dancing, it was her mannerisms, the free spirited earthly attitude she suddenly had. She was just so natural the way she moved. She wasn't stiff like she usually was. She normally looked like having fun would psychically hurt her. He never thought she was such a firecracker and good dancer.
"Oh gross I'm in your bed I might contract something." She suddenly muttered.
This only elicited a deep bellowing chuckle from Damon who was quite surprised she came up with that. Elena was the brood and write in her dairy like a 13 year old girl type. (There's nothing wrong with diaries.) Elena really wasn't the comical or quick witted type. In fact when he thought about it it was such a Bonnie thing to say. He shook the thought and responded to a hung over looking Elena, who was now checking his sheets like they hadn't been washed from his many sexual encounters. She had this expression on her face, it was so familiar. Her eyes were wide and her lips curved at the side as she looked at him with challenge in her eyes. It all just made Damon want to laugh his head off. He was bordering on giddy as she threw the sheets she hadn't managed to tangle around herself in the nearby washing basket.
"hehe you are something special tonight you know that? I haven't laughed like this well since..." Damon thought back to before he helped Katherine get Bonnie. They'd always laughed so hard at her house while they prepared spells. Joking about how Elena and Stefan always acted like an old couple and how they probably enjoyed nights in with a mug of hot chocolate rather than hot sex. He remembered Bonnie saying that Damon had more action in a week than Stefan probably had in his life time as they cackled on her bed holding their stomachs to stop the ache. He remembered how funny it was when they tried to have a competition on who could mimic the couple better.
"Oh Elena my princess, my Juliet oh how I love thee so." Damon had moaned.
Bonnie had placed her hands on her forehead like a damsel in distress. "And I love you my Romeo. This love we share so epic and timeless no one else can understand it."
She'd tried to say in her most girly voice taking a piece of paper she'd shaped into a fan and fanning her face like a proper lady.
He remembered Bonnie funnily enough saying something very similar to what Elena had just said to him. Bonnie had said she'd never want to set foot in Damon's room unless she could bring sanitizer for fear she'd catch something. Shaking his head he looked back at Elena who was rubbing her head.
"You're not exactly the have drinking, let loose and embrace life type so seriously why were you at the grill dancing? And what's with the sexy clothes? You look good don't get me wrong but they don't exactly fit what I thought was your personality. I'm not being rude or anything I just would have thought its more Bonnies style. You know fiery and confident."
Damon was miffed he was sat with Elena the girl of his dreams right? And all he could talk about was Bonnie, this was new. Maybe it was just because she'd just got back to town and he hadn't seen her forever.
Damon continued to stare at Elena. She was vibrant and she kept squinting her eyes at him glaring. He knew that look but just not from her.
Bonnie grew uncomfortable with all his staring. She may be in Elena's body but it was still bugging the hell out of her. He always looked so damn smug and if Bonnie Bennet liked to do one thing it was wipe the smirk right off his face.
"Damon continue to gawk at me and I'll BBQ you!"
"A fire threat you've been hanging out with my lovely witch of late huh? How is she anyways? She hasn't exactly been eager to talk to me you know."
"Yeah because you're a jerk off." She gave him a duh face that he'd always loved but he'd usually be admiring it on a certain chocolate headed witch.
"Okay seriously I love this new attitude of yours but when did you get spunk? People don't just develop that kinda thing over night. What else have you been hiding under your boring goody two shoes façade?"
Bonnie breathed in and out to calm herself and started to hyperventilate. She felt sick and the pounding in her head was driving her crazy. She seriously couldn't here a word he was saying anymore. She began to chuckle at his mumbled words. She would admit Damon was adorable when he was trying to look after a person. He looked lost but tried so hard.
Damon pouted. "Hey did you hit you head hard when you fell into my chest. What's with the giggles? Don't think I've ever made you giggle before?"
Bonnie just tilted her head from side to side and stroked his lips which were in a full on smirk. All Bonnie could see was how lop sided his smirk was and his face it was so blurry. Bonnie reached her hands out to feel the rest of his face.
"Stop spinning jackass!" she ordered him, the tone she took on was familiar to him but he couldn't remember from where.
"Hahaha wow you really are wrecked. What would Stefan say? Normal girl next door Elena has a wild side who knew I was beginning in to think you were lame as."
"Well then why do you keep pursuing me?" She hiccupped. Damon paused for a moment. He didn't really know why he was still pursuing Elena. He just knew that he was and it had gotten more extreme when Bonnie was gone. He didn't want to analyse.
Bonnie decided to get off the bed and was less that pleased to realise the only thing on her was one of Damon's grey silk shirts. It was completely fluttering open with her bra totally on show and since it was her bra on Elena's body it was a tight fit to say the least.
"By the way Elena you're kinda popping out, didn't think you'd wear such a risqué item." He gestured to her emerald green and black lacy bra and thong.
Bonnie huffed and rolled her eyes and for a moment Damon's mind flashed to Bonnie and the countless times she'd done that to him and numerous times it had caused him to grin like a crazy person. Damon shook his head and concentrated on a hyperventilating Elena. Really he'd never seen this side to her but it was warming. She never really wore her emotions on her sleeve but today she was so full of life and expression.
"Calm down its okay Elena." Damon began to rub her temples gently.
Oh yeah I keep forgetting he thinks I'm Elena. That would also explain that purvey look on his face although it was nice of him to take care of me I mean her like that. No Bonnie he's a jerk and all he cares about is getting Elena in the sack! Sheesh next time Elena and Stefan want alone time together they should just rent a room.
Bonnie violently ripped the sheets from her body which had got terribly twisted around her when she was wriggling around. She finally got them off throwing them over Damon's head. She then ran for the door. She needed to get home, eat bacon and eggs and have a strong cup of coffee. Then she needed to find the love birds and reverse the spell. Her plans were thwarted however when Damon blocked her way wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Get off me homicidal manic!"
"What do you just call me?"
"Huh?" she looked at him clueless.
"Nothing it's just Bonnie always used to call me that and she'd always kick and wriggle when I picked her up. One time she got it into her head that she alone could wonder off into the woods and take on a werewolf. What the fuck I said to her. Stubborn as ever. You know what I mean when she pouts and stares up at you like she's invincible and her body glows with power and her ringlets fall over her face and all you want to do it touch them."
Damon spaced out for a moment and Bonnie was speechless that he paid so much attention to her. She banished the thought from her mind. She was in Elena's body and Damon was probably just trying to impress Elena.
Damon suddenly continued. "I had to throw her over my shoulder to get her to stop. She kicked and screamed and called me a homicidal vampire."
"Well it's just coincidence I called you that. Anyone who's met you would probably link the words homicidal and manic to you."
"I guess it's just the way you said it that tone, so reprimanding and chastising.
Damon still wouldn't let go of her and Bonnie paused for a moment realising Elena's body was much stronger than her own.
Would it be acceptable for me to kick his arse right now? Let's try she happily thought as Damon was now tugging her towards sitting on the bed.
Bonnie was ready to knee Damon in the groin, leg in the air as Damon caught her leg and spun her around to whisper in her. "Assaulting me huh? Never thought you were the type and I seriously like it. But honestly Elena just sit down okay and since when are you so violent? Never known you to try kick my arse you're usually such an enabler. Oh Damon you killed my birth mum but that's okay we can still be friends. You know what I mean?" He mocked her voice purposely making it a little whiney. "Bonnie on the other hand well... "Damon shut his thoughts down. What the hell's with me today?
"Now come on behave." he chastised and again he flashed to the endless times he'd said those words to Bonnie. He was getting really confused. "You still look a little dizzy." He patted the space on the bed next to him grinning wildly.
Oh what the heck it's not like I can use my power on him to escape, he'd find out and then be hot on Stefan and Elena's tale. God the things you do for friendship.
Bonnie obliged shifting away from him and groaning as he wrapped an arm around her.
"Since when do you groan like that? And how come and tell me the truth why no Stefan tonight? Did the perfect couple have a little fight which prompted this little girls gone wild show, you know I can always comfort you?"
Haha if only you knew what they were up to Mr.
"No and wipe that creepy grin off your face vampire!" She admonished "we haven't had a fight Damon but contrary to your own beliefs we are not attached to the hip. He's out with the guys."
"Guys?"
"Yes Tyler, Matt and Jeremy." She knew the three were out at a football match so it was plausible.
"Hmmm and where was my invite? You know you've been ignoring me. Not very nice Elena and I don't get to see Steffie anymore plus little chocolate ringlets is ignoring me."
"Oi don't call me... my best friend" she recovered before he caught on "that it's worse than little witch and Look Damon I'm not interested and leave Bonnie alone. Shethought you were her friend really she did." Bonnie's voice broke "but you really disappointed her."
Damon couldn't help recognise the level of sadness in her eyes like the disappointment was coming from her.
Damon ignored Elena's disinterest in him but broke a little when he thought about how he hurt and let down Bonnie. He quickly put on his humour though. "As for chocolate ringlets I can call her that if I want. I give all my nearest and dearest nick names."
"What's Ele I mean mine then?" She brushed over the rest of what he said not ready to trust a word that came from his mouth yet. "And Bonnie isn't one of your nearest and dearest you sold her out remember?" she couldn't help it she was hurt and she wasn't going to let it go that easily.
"Huh I don't have one for you. That's weird thought never occurred to me and Elena that's so not true!"
"Blah blah don't wanna hear it..." she wasn't going to hear what she thought were lies he tells Elena to get on her good side. As far as she was concerned he betrayed her and she was never his friend.
"Are you giving me attitude yet again? Damon was in awe it was like the sparring matches he always loved having with Bonnie. He felt so alive again but how come this was happening with Elena all of a sudden? All this time while Bonnie had been away he and Elena had had countless conversations none like this, what's going on he thought to himself.
Bonnie got off the bed and started to finger through Damons belongings. She'd never been in his room they'd always done the spells at her house or down in the huge library. Bonnie pulled at his books. Damon couldn't help watch what he still thought was Elena. Elena had never bothered to look round his room before. She usually seemed rather uninterested by it all. Bonnie took out a book. Damon must have not realised what was in it and several old pictures fell out. Bonnie found a picture of a little black headed boy and hazel brown headed boy kissing each other's cheeks and the other was
What she thought in surprise. It was of her and Elena. She brought the pictures over to Damon.
"urg! Look at him was ugly no? And look at you and Bon you look so happy." He traced his finger over the picture of Bonnie and Elena, lingering a little longer on Bonnie unbeknownst to himself.
"Why do you have these?"
"People I care about Elena. I am capable of caring you know but I screw up all my relationships don't I? I mean look at me and Bonnie. She hates me now you know. I really never meant to hurt her. Just didn't realise till it was too late. I did value her friendship you know. You must believe that."
No I can't fall for this. I'll get hurt again.
"Well I think that's a load of bull. You're only trying to win my sympathies."
"That's not true Elena. Not everything revolves around you. Bonnie means a hell of a lot to me! And I won't back off her. So you can stop whispering in her ear telling her not to trust me because I'm not giving up on rekindling my friendship with her."
"Whatever Damon. I'm outta here!"
Stefan and Elena were now in the woods having a picnic. They picked somewhere secluded as answering questions on why Stefan looked like he was suddenly on a date with Bonnie was too confusing . Not to mention if Caroline saw them it'd be spread round mystic falls in mere seconds. They sat by the river as Elena picked out some strawberries to feed Stefan.
"See this is nice isn't it? I could get used to this."
Stefan took the strawberry smiling. "Yeah I mean it's a little weird you know you looking like Bonnie who's like a sister to me but it's nice to be alone. Wonder how's she's getting on as you?"
"She'll be fine but Stefan I lied I don't wanna go reverse the spell tomorrow. I want a little longer. I just love being alone with you. She kissed him gently on the hand since a full make out was out of the question. She remembered Bonnie's distinctive promise to cut her hair if she romanced it up with Stefan, while in her body.
"Now where's this Italian treat you've made me?" Elena began to look through the picnic basket.
"Hey let me help." Stefan said but as he touched her hand in the process however he found his arm being lit on fire.
"Aaahhh" Stefan jumped into the river to put himself out.
"Omg omg Stefan are you okay? What the hell was that?"
"I think that was you Elena." He said trying to squeeze the water out of his purple shirt.
"Huh?"
"You're in Bonnie's body now and I think we have a major problem. I think that maybe you have access to her powers."
"Wait but I don't know how to control them." Elena said contorting Bonnies face into pure fear. "What if something happens and omg Bonnie might be defenceless now or will she still have power as it's a part of her soul? We better find her now!"
Bonnie stormed out down the boarding house stairs with Damon zooming after her. She wasn't looking where she was going and tumbled into Elena and Stefan who just walked through the door.
Bonnie and Elena fell to the floor and Stefan immediately went to help Elena up but seeing as she was in Bonnies body Damon was taken aback.
"Wow how rude you helped Bonnie up before your girlfriend."
Stefan immediately went over to Elena "um yeah you okay. Bon Bonita" he quickly recovered.
"Uh yeah honey monster." Bonnie hoped that sounded like a decent pet name.
"Since when do you two have pet names for each other? Damon raised a brow. "and why were you with Bonnie instead of Elena tonight?" Damon found himself slightly jealous that Bonnie wasn't talking to him but had happily spent her time with Stefan. "I thought you were at a game with the guys?"
"He was at the game but was going to help Bonnie with spells after and we've had pet names since forever isn't that right Cherry pie? Bonnie kissed Stefan's cheek nervously and awkwardly, yes she was in Elena's body and it wouldn't look weird to Damon but to her she was kissing her brother figure. She just couldn't go for the lips.
"Okay Bonnie they've lost their minds." Damon looked at Bonnie who didn't seem to have that glow to her caramel complexion she usually had about her. Her eyes weren't sparkling, a mix of golden fire encased in emerald green and she was allot stiffer than she normally was. She was also standing almost behind Stefan like he was a protective shield of armour, which was something Elena usually did.
"Hey witch!" he tried to indulge in witty banter with her but got nothing in return. "What's with you no come backs? Where's the sparring we always had? you know I say something annoying and you chastise me, take me down a notch, challenge me and say something so amazingly smart back and I respond by acting unimpressed but really I'm stunned and in awe by you? God your being weird today even Elena's had more fiery things to say to me. Wait why are you dressed like that? You usually where reds, purples and greens, you know colours that match you lively, magical personality not baby pink dresses. What the fuck is happening? Elena your all rock chick have a comeback for everything girl today and Bonnie is just well she's like you. She's being boring and not indulging in our infamous passionate arguments that I miss. Dam you, come on just try. Give me some attitude please." Damon pleaded. "You two are acting so strange. I don't like it it's confusing me."
Damon was truly miffed what had happened to his volcanic powerful witch who didn't miss any opportunity to hit him and belittle him and what was with Elena she was glowing and radiating with something different yet familiar when he thought of how Bonnie usually was. He was going to find out why Bonnie was acting well not like his lively Bonnie and what drugs Elena had taken to make her so fun.
"Come on little witch lets leave the happy couple to it. I really need us to catch up okay!"
"Actually Bonnie and Stefan had some spell stuff to do so why don't we stay here and let them get to it."
Stefan just watched the whole show quite clueless as to what he should do. Maybe they should just tell Damon the girls have switched bodies but Elena seems so adamant to have a little peace.
"Na let's leave um Bonnie." Damon went over to her and tried to drag her up to hang with him. Her touch was different though, the electricity he usually got wasn't there. She wasn't Bonnie Bennet not his Bonnie Bennet. Wait when did she become mine? He thought to himself.
"Look Damon I'm just going to go home. I'm really tired so you guys have fun."
"Come on where are your jibes your spark? You're just not trying!" Damon crossed his arms. He was missing her personality so much. He never even knew he was so drawn to it till now. "Seriously what's with you?" he began to shake Bonnie.
"Leave her alone!" Elena stormed over whacking him. "Just fuck off."
Damon was in shock since when did Elena swear.
Damon decided to try push Bonnie's buttons once again. She always responded with such bravery and passion. "You know little witch you pretend to be mad at me but I think it's just because you fancy me so much it hurts."
Suddenly a heel flew at his head but not from Bonnie it was Elena's heel. Why is she being irate? Bonnie should be the one getting passionate and furious? What's with my witch? Dam it this is so frustrating! Confusion confusion confusion was all Damon could think. He was feeling such an amazing vibe from Elena. Elena suddenly had all these mind-blowing qualities he finally realised he'd loved about Bonnie but never really taken the time to appreciate in Bonnie because he thought getting Elena made him a winner. Now Bonnie was acting like Elena and he realised without Elena's looks staring him in the face he didn't like the way Elena acted. What did all of this mean? Who was he in love with? Wait love? Damon was now on a mission to work out what the hell was with these too.
To be continued...
AN: Sorry if repetitive in bits I may have gone on a rant and since I'm ill at the mo I have no clue if what I've written is even coherent lol. It's hard to write the switching body parts. I managed to even confuse myself hehe. Love some feedback. Tell me if you want me to continue if it's too confusing I'll scrap it and thanks again for the reviews :) Love love :)
