..:I'M TOUGH:..

Bonnie's POV

A throbbing pain on the back of my head dragged me out of unconsciousness; the rough floor hurt my back. I groaned and tried to touch my head and find out what had happened. But then a thought came rushing to my mind and I opened my eyes sharply.

I sat up so suddenly and all I could saw where dark spots.

"Easy there, or you'll might faint again" I turned to my left to the sound of his voice and felt suddenly relieve. He was sitting next to me with his head resting on the giant rock; he had his eyes closed and little drops of sweat covered his forehead.

"What happened?" I asked and raised a hand to touch my throbbing head and noticed I was sweating too. It was around eight in the morning and the heat was already unbearable.

"You fainted" He simply said without opening his eyes.

"Yeah I noticed, but I want to know how and why"

I frowned to myself; I've never fainted before... Not unless someone had provoked it.

"Simple, you just where walking and talking a lot like you usually do and then pff you fall on top your big and red head" Still with his eyes closed, he couldn't help to hide his smile when telling the end of his story.

"That's not why I mea-hey I don't I have a big head!"

"Yeah whatever, could you just stop talking? I want to catch a dream"

I raised my eyebrows with incredulity "I could, but I'm not going to" I regain some will and stood up, my legs felt sore and numb. "Now it's my turn to be annoying, get up!"

"You've always been annoying" He finally opened his eyes and stared up at me angrily.

I felt a strange tug in my chest when he finally locked stares with me. "You've had enough time to rest while I fainted"

"No, I couldn't even have a coherent thought with all your murmuring" He yawned and stretched his arms in front of him, "did you know you talk while you're asleep?"

I suddenly felt panic, Meredith once told me I have been talking on my sleep and that for once she was even having a conversation with me. I felt a rush of blood running up to my already warm face.

"By the look of your face I can tell you do know" He then looked away and let out a laugh. This was the first time I actually heard him laugh.

"What's so funny?" I asked getting angrier.

"Nothing" He suddenly got dead serious, "it's just that you said pretty interesting stuff while you were sleeping" a smirk escaped his lips.

Now panic and fear combined inside of me. What if I let out something personal? Or even worst what if I revealed something about the mission to him.

I waited for him to say something else before I decided what to do next. But he just kept staring at me with a playful look on his eyes.

When none of us said anything, he reclined his head back on the rock and closed his eyes.

"I'm thirsty" He mumbled but I barely heard him, I was having an internal conflict.

"I said I-am-thirsty and hungry now" He repeated sounding desperate.

"And what do you think I am? Your mother?"

He looked up at me and jerked his head to the side, "No, my mother would have treated me better and besides you're the one keeping me captive, the least you can do is keep me hydrated"

I rolled my eyes at him and took of my bag from across my shoulders and sat back down. "You're such a baby" I complained while I searched for a canteen, "you're in army you should be tougher" I handed him the canteen.

His eyes narrowed and he straightened up, "I am tough" he grasped the canteen from my hand and drank furiously from it until he emptied it. "And well look who's talking, you're the everything-but-tough kind of person I've ever met, I don't really get what you are doing here" No trace of playfulness was shown in his chiseled features.

I sat straighter too, "Of course I'm tough" I replied, "If I weren't though I wouldn't have make it here"

"You're so sure about that? Because judging by the look of your equipment and the little hand gun hanging on your hips" His eyes traced down my body and I felt an involuntary shiver, "I'm guessing you were the one who carriages munitions as well the food and water" he raised the canteen in my direction.

I opened my mouth to defend myself but no words came out.

He raised his eyebrows, "So I was right" he smirked "Your friends don't think you're capable of doing something a little more difficult and useful"

I looked away from him and thought deeply about what he was saying. Meredith'd always told me I was great at what I do, that I was constantly improving and sooner than later Alaric was going to upgrade me. But that time never came.

His voice lowered "they're wasting your potential, you can do better things than that, right?"

I stared down at my hands and did not say anything, I did believe I could do better, just that they never give me a chance to prove it.

"I bet they rather leave you behind than to give you a bigger and better gun than that" He pointed at my hand gun with his handcuffed hands.

I shrugged and hated him because all he said was always true. How annoying.

"Come on! Don't tell me I'm wrong, because in the first place what were you and your blonde guy doing apart from the rest of the group because they were others, right?"

I nodded unconsciously and felt how my heart shrank when he referred to Matt.

"So why did your friends abandoned you?"

"They... They didn't..." I frowned and remembered Matt's words "we heard noises and grabbed our guns, Alaric ordered Caroline to stay here with you but... Anyway I came back for you"

Matt had to come back for me... I never understood why they didn't wake me up, why did they have to leave Caroline to look for me? They really thought I was that unuseful? Why didn't they believe in me?

I shook my head; I was not going to let him get into my head. "Now that you're asking a lot of questions" I started and looked up at him "Why if you're supposed to be Italian" he raised his eyebrows "Why do you speak English fluently?"

"questa è una domanda abbastanza stupida, for your information besides teaching us how to point a gun on a specific spot of a human's body at the military they also teach us different languages" when I didn't say anything he continued "I'm not surprise you're not quite prepared, the U.S. might have the power and all the resources but they're people aren't quite the best out here" he shot me an arrogant smile.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Break time it's over get up!" I rose from the rough floor and placed my back over my shoulder.

"I haven't eaten yet!"He complained.

"And you're not going to until we get to that air base! You're just making me waste precious time!"

"Are you insane?" he yelled "that air base is at least three days far from here! I won't make it through if you don't feed me well" he tried to cross his arms but he couldn't because of the handcuffs so he groaned.

"We do not always get everything we want in life, dude" I replied bitterly, "So if you want to eat, get up and start walking"

Reluctantly he obeyed and stood up so close to me I could feel his cool breath on my face. I instantly backed and turned away from him.

"You know I'm human right?" He suddenly said and I turned back to him, "and as I human and a man, I have needs"

My eyes grew big and he laughed my expression. "Your face is priceless! I didn't mean those kind of needs! You're such a perv"

I couldn't stop the blush of my cheeks from appearing, I felt how face got warmer and even felt some drops of sweat forming in my forehead, "I'm not a perv! You were the one insinuating that with your smiley face and slinky tone of voice!"

"Slinky? Darling if I wanted to seduce you, you would have noticed" He smugly said.

I grimaced in disgust, "No thank you"

"And who said I was going to? You're not quite my type of girl… You're too red and tiny for my taste" He sneered while taking a good look at me. "I wouldn't even rape you if you begged me"

My mouth dropped open and I felt the urge of slapping him –rather more, shooting him directly on his arrogantly annoying face but I contained myself. "You know what? SHUT UP and do what you need to do so we can finally start walking!"

He stood there staring down at me. "What?" I asked.

"Aren't you going to give me some privacy? Or do you like to watch?"

"You are disgusting" I barked at him and got away from him. "You have ten seconds"
I couldn't believe this guy, he had no boundaries!
I tried to distract myself and counted until ten in my head. One. Two. Three. Four. Five… Something in the distance caught my attention and I stopped counting. I neared the edge of the cliff to take a better view and narrowed my eyes. Something shined brightly under the sun's rays… But I couldn't quite tell what it was but it seemed big even though it was pretty far from where I was standing. I seemed to move and it moved fast.

I placed a hand over my eyes to try and cover them from the sun to see clearer. When I finally found out what the moving object was the air leaved my lungs.

"What are you looking at?" Damon's sudden appearance shook the hell out of me."You scared me!" I yelled at him but he ignored me and focused his black eyes on the war tank moving fast into our directions "Hmm, it looks like we're in trouble" He said that so calm and serene.

"We? Isn't that tank from your team?" I asked perplex.

"Nope, we don't have those types of tanks here" He turned to me "They must be another intruders just like you"

Dread started to build inside of me. And I couldn't think clearly. There is not possible way the U.S. would have sent someone else and if Damon said –and he seemed sure of himself, that they weren't from Italy…

"Looks like someone decided to join the party" Damon said and I followed the direction of his stance to find a couple more of tanks following the first one.

Both of us turned at the same time to stare at each other and I could tell that deep inside of him he started to feel uneasy.

New intruders joined the party! OMG!

I tried to make a long chapter but I'm too tired to continue and also I'm horribly sick and shouldn't be using the computer but anyway I hope you liked it!
