When Enzo discovered that the Augustine society is still functioning & that his best friend Damon is still held there after he left him to his own death in the fire 50 years ago he decides it's time to make it up to him and reaches out for the help...
I got inside and listened carefully, Sheila was still asleep... that's good. I moved to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her exactly like I used to when she was a kid and then a teenager. I checked the cabinets, picked the needed ingredients then started preparing her favourite pancakes, omelet and bacon. When I was done I poured her a mug of hot coffee and even a glass of orange juice then I heard her moving in the bathroom upstairs so I put everything on the dinning table placing the fangy pancakes in the middle, hid myself in the shadows and waited.
A couple of minutes later she came down the stairs... "Bonnie I thought you left early for school. Why did you stay child? Is there something wrong?" She said on her way down talking out loud to her granddaughter, once she got into the dinning room she gasped and turned around looking everywhere searching for me. She looked exactly like she used to when she was young.

Stepping out of my hiding place I sneaked behind her and put my hand on her shoulder "Morning buttercup" I said and she turned to look at me grinning wildly "Fangy pancakes ?! Really Dee?" She asked playfully and we stared at each other for a moment before bursting into loud laughter "God, I missed the breakfast you used to make me. Come on let's dig in" She said sitting down grabbing her juice so I joined her and we ate silently.

After we were done I cleaned the dishes and then we went to sit in the living room "Did Bonnie tell you about our meeting at the grill?" I asked and she nodded "Nice trick, the one you taught her. I could see you still have your ways warming up your place into a woman's heart" She said still in a playful mood and I smirked at her "I just wanted her to trust me Shay" I said shrugging & she nodded again.
"She trusts you all right. She kept on asking me about you all day and she even asked me to invite you over for dinner" She said smiling which made me smile in return. "I'd be honored Mrs. Bennett" I said playfully and she grinned "Then it's settled, we're having you as our guest for dinner. Let's talk about breaking your curse now, shall we?" She said seriously and I nodded and sat straighter "Yes, I'd actually like to know how exactly you'd perform that spell Shay ! Isn't it a little strong for you now at your age. No offence" I said raising my hands in a surrender gesture to show her I didn't mean to insult her, I was rather worried about her well being.
"None take, but don't underestimate what I'm capable of Damon. I'm prepared for this spell. On Saturday we're gonna have you officially joining the magic world, aren't you excited?!" She asked excitedly and I couldn't help the smile that spread on my face "Beyond excited Sheila. I've been waiting for this moment for years." I said and she extended her arm and squeezed my hand reassuringly.
The whole day went by helping Sheila around the house and reading some of her newly published books, we prepared dinner together and set the table... just as I was getting the serving plates Bonnie got into the house "Grams I'm back. What's that amazing smell? Is that ... Damon !!"
She was pointing to the Chicken parmesan on the table when she noticed me coming out of the kitchen. "Actually it's originally called Parmigiana di pollo ... how are you Bonnie?" I smirked and Sheila came out from behind me hitting me on the back of my head slightly "Quit the Charming attitude it's not gonna get you anywhere Prince Charming" She said in a teasing tone and I chuckled putting the dishes down. "Please, I wasn't trying to charm her, besides you know I'm taken Shay... I was just trying to be friendly" I said shrugging.
Bonnie looked between us confused so Sheila cleared her throat getting her granddaughter's attention "You asked if I could ask him to come over for dinner and he was pleased to do so, he actually helped me with the cooking" She said smiling "You mean to say that I actually did all the cooking... don't lie to her Shay it's impolite" I said teasingly and she hit my shoulder in response.
We sat down to eat & Bonnie looked confused that's when Sheila decided to clear the Vagueness "Bonnie, Damon's one of my best friends child. He's wiser than he looks, and he taught me more than I could teach my students. Having him here makes it easier for me to teach you more about our history. He knows a lot about our family, he read and studied almost every journal and grimoire. your instinct of trusting him was right"
Bonnie looked at her grandmother curiously now so Sheila elaborated further "Look Bonnie I've been telling you all about the supernatural now & I'd like to tell you how exactly I got to know Damon. I told you about our family protector; the guy that was destined to guard & protect our family. This guy is sitting right here, he practically raised me and taught me all I know about my powers, he was there for me as he was for my parents, and their parents, and the list goes on darling. He practically raised generations of the Bennett witches & warlocks. Damon is not our family protector any-more he's become part of the family"
Sheila looked at me at the end of her speech and smiled "He might act like a trouble maker, but he's a good guy" she said kindly and I took her hand kissing it "Thanks Sheila" Bonnie was still out of words but she gathered herself quickly, her eyes were shining and I could see the Bennett fire in her "Sheila told me you just found out about your powers, Bonnie. Took you long enough.... How is it so far ?? Having any troubles?" I asked and she shrugged.
"If by trouble you mean being unable to control my powers, and causing terrible accidents, then yes. I guess I'm having troubles" She said and I nodded "It's OK to lose control in the beginning. But it's no big deal, so don't worry yourself about it right now. And with knowledge it gets easier, so you're gonna have to study your Grams' grimoire a little bit in the beginning." she looked to be contemplating my words so I continued.
"Just put it into your mind that practice makes perfect, you need to work on your concentration. At the Grill you did what I told you easily, all you had to do was focus. Meditation would help you with that, maybe some yoga classes too" I said while sipping some water.
Bonnie looked stressed "I don't know, I just want to get to the serious part where I could use my powers professionally" She said shifting in her seat and I looked at Sheila who shrugged one shoulder & looked back at her granddaughter "No need for the rush, Sabrina. Just try to get a grip of the basic things first, and the rest comes easily, OK?" I said moving the fork to my mouth still looking at her and she nodded.
After dinner we cleaned the dished, talked about Bonnie's school, played some board games and then it was time for me to go back home. Bonnie offered to take me to the boarding house & I agreed. The ride back to the boarding house was silent and once we were in the drive way we said our goodbyes and I went inside to find a fuming pissed off blonde original.
Soooo Damon is having fun with his witches..... What do you guys think about this side of Damon ??! Do you like how he interacts with the Bennett witches ?!
Next Chapter we have a jealous Rebekah and a curse to break ...
