Mirages of Love
"Love is an illusion. It's nothing but a mirage. It doesn't matter how he looks on the outside, or who he is on the inside. Right now, you're convinced that you love your darling, but... try thinking about it logically." ― Tomoko Hayakawa, The Wallflower, Vol. 19
" Some say that true love is a mirage; seek it anyway, for all else is surely desert." - Robert Brault
"You killed him!"
He stood there watching me like I was some sort of weird experiment. I couldn't stand his stare. He saved me but he chattered my heart in the process. How could he do that?
"Bonnie, please."
Elena's sweet pleading voice came to my attention. I didn't know for what. I couldn't stand it. I wasn't thinking clearly too much pain... too much.
"NO!" I yelled at her.
I watched my best friend trying to intercede for him. Somewhere hidden in my brain I did understand what happened. But I couldn't and wouldn't allow to surface. The pain was too present.
I looked down again to the limp form of my love. I honestly learn to love him even though he was a werewolf. I did love him. I know I did. I believe I did. That's why my heart was crying. I couldn't stop it and yet my eyes were dry.
"Why did he come?"
Now I was embracing him back and forth, back and forth. Again and again...
"Why?"
I felt another person's touch. I didn't know who was it and I didn't care. I knew they all came to save me. I was the reason for this tragedy. I was the one who got caught in the first place. I was the one who got sold again to Damon's crazy vampire princess.
"There's no time."
His exasperated voice reached my ears within seconds. For the first time since I saw Zander's limp body I really glanced towards him. My eyes connected with his. My mind went blank. Elena urged me to see her.
"Bonnie, please we have to go."
I reluctantly let Zander go. I let Elena take my hand and pull me up. I saw Stefan walks towards me and pick me up like I was a rag doll. I wasn't' functional. The only thing I could think about is that Zander deserved better.
I rest my head in Stefan's shoulder and absent-mindlessly repeated the only spell I could think of. I didn't know why I could only remember this spell. It wasn't for defense or to attack in some ways it was useless. But I did it anyway.
"Wait!" Damon's authoritative voice made us turn around.
Everybody stopped and watched the transformation. Somehow I connected with this wretched dimension and made Zander's body to transform into a willow tree. The only living thing there standing proudly was once my werewolf fiancé.
I heard Zander's faint voice through the rare breeze playing with the tree.
"I love you!"
The faint whisper was the key that unlocked my tears. Finally I was crying. Stefan hugged me a bit more. Mentally I heard his sorrowful voice.
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry too. Stefan?"
"Yes."
"Please make me sleep."
He didn't say anything. He lifted up my chin. I wasn't sure how could he do it since I was still in his arms.
I looked at his eyes. I knew what was coming.
"Bonnie, dear please rest. I'll wake you up."
"Thank you, Stefan."
After that the blissful darkness came.
A/N: I know this is short. I've being so MIA that I honestly thought I wouldn't write anymore. I'm sorry for that. I promise I have more to post. :) Please give me some feedback.
