Wake Me Up Inside(Save Me From the Dark)
A\N: I have been wanting to do a Bonenzo fic for a while. I think I finally got an idea that will stick. Hopefully. This is set in a future AUish world most things happened the same way to Bonnie but Enzo's story is a little different and Enzo hasn't been apart of the Mystic falls gang lives. In this fic Bonenzo meet in the Mental Institution. This is set in the Mental Institution so it haves themes of depression, PTSD, and other Mental Illnesses.
Bonnie Bennett sat in the middle of the support group dazed, her eyes were focused on the reflection of the florescent lights that refelected on the stale hospital floor. Someone was saying something or the other about feelings of some kind Bonnie wasn't paying much attention to it. Her mind was not on much lately,all of the days kind of blended together. What was there to think about anyway? Davina sat next to her with her arms folded slouching in her chair not hiding the fact that she was not happy to be there. Bonnie's attitude didn't match Davina's, maybe it did when she first arrived a month ago when Damon admitted her, but now...she wasn't angry. She wasn't anything. Now she was just...numb. Davina's anger at Marcel was still fresh. At least Marcel still visited twice a week, Damon and Caroline stopped visiting weeks ago. She knew their lives got so busy and they were wrapped up in the latest crazy thing. Caroline e-mail her telling her she was busy dealing with a vampire hunter and they would visit as soon as it was safe. She understood. It wasn't the first time she was shot down lower on her friends priority list. There was just always something more important than her. She was used to it now.
Then Dr. Camille asked her, "Bonnie do you have something you wish to share?"
Bonnie blinked trying to pull herself back into the moment which has been a difficult task lately.
"Not really."Bonnie said.
"Are you sure about that?" Dr. Camille asked giving her a sincere open yet serious look.
She actually liked Camille. Davina vouched for her and Camille was the reason why Bonnie wasn't on the streets wrecking havok with her powers going out of control. It was why her and Davina got along so well they were in here for the same thing.
Bonnie shrugged her shoulders and asked, "What is there to talk about?"
"Very well." Camille said as she moved her attention to her next patient.
Bonnie was about to go back to drifting into La La Land but then Davina kicked her.
"Nice." Davina whispered and then she winked at her.
Bonnie chuckled a little. Camille noticed this and gave them the lecturing eye.
After the group Bonnie walked with Davina to her room. When they got in Davina's room Davina said, "Gahh... I can't wait to get out of here and use my magic again. Don't you miss it?"
"I guess." Bonnie said while playing with the hems of her long sleeve sweater.
Truthfully she barely remembered how it felt to use her magic. Magical Witch Bonnie seemed so far away. She didn't even feel sad about it.
"Well, I do. I get it, I went a little out of control while bringing my boyfriend back from the dead, but still I had things under control. " Davina said frustrated.
Bonnie nodded and said, "I get it. It got pretty bad for me too when I brought my boyfriend back to life."
"Where is he?" Davina asked.
"I don't know exploring the co-eds in art school I guess. We broke up a long time ago."
"Ungrateful prick! You brought him back to life! Where is the graditude?" Davina asked infuriated.
Bonnie knew she should feel some kind of anger about the whole thing, but she didn't. She wasn't upset with him when he broke up with her all crying saying he felt just as trapped as she was. That right there was a big indicator that she just did not feel for him anymore.
Bonnie shrugged her shoulders.
Davina went on her desk and looked at one of the letters. She smiled a glowing smile biting her lip.
"What is that?" Bonnie asked not that she needed to, it was blaring obvious by the giddy look on her face.
"A letter from Kol. He's finally out of solitary."
"Solitary?" Bonnie asked raising an eyebrow.
"He has a bit of a bad temper as a vampire."
"Gee wonder I wonder why Marcel doesn't want you to see him?" Bonnie said sarcastic.
"Like Marcel has never lost his temper before." Davina sighed annoyed.
"Interesting life you lead." Bonnie mused.
"Aren't your friends vampires?" Davina asked.
Bonnie sighed moving around Davina's room not looking at anything in particular and said, "Yeah, they haven't been around in a while."
Davina huffed, "More ungrateful loved ones."
"Nah. They're just busy. I get it." Bonnie said.
"You are thee most understanding person in the world." Davina said.
"I don't know about that. I don't understand why you are with an original him being really hot."
"Well, when we met he was a witch. But I think the biggest reason is that he gets me. We get eachother." Davina said with a whistful smile.
Bonnie definitely saw that look before. She's seen it in her friends when they were so in love. Bonnie never really felt that way before. She could admit that much, even though she went to extremes to bring Jeremy back. She could never say that he just got her, the closest she got to that was...it didn't matter. She was not going to dwell on that. There was nothing to dwell on. So she went to Davina and said," So are you going to write him back or..."
Davina's smile was glowing again she had a twinkly glint of mischievousness in her eyes.
"Well..."
"No. Davina please tell me you aren't dumb enough to try to sneak out to the vampire ward to see your pyscho boyfriend."
"Fine. I won't tell you then." Davina said playfully.
Bonnie said,"Fine. I'm coming with you."
"What why?"
"Oh come on you're going to get caught without a look out."Bonnie said.
"You would do that for me?"
"Why not? What else am I going to do?"
"Thanks Bonnie!" Davina said and then she hugged Bonnie.
Bonnie akwardly gave her a couple light taps on the back. She hasn't had physical contact in a while and it felt strange.
Bonnie should have known Davina and Kol had an orderly or two in their pockets. The orderlies were witches and they both had ancient spells that the average every day witch couldn't get to. So there were a couple they could get passed but then there were other vampire guards that they had to sneak pass. It was a good thing that Freya, one of the witches that ran this facility, had put wards all over this place so the patients and all of the workers supernatural powers were subdued. So vampires didn't have superstrength and speed, which would make it easier to sneak past the guards. It did make her miss her powers just a little, if not for the convience of them.
Davina was still pretty crafty.
Bonnie was able to sneak into the main hall, where Kol stayed. Bonnie did start to feel a little apprehensive. The last time she saw Kol she was dead and she stopped him from coming back to life. The time before that she helped her friends kill him. Sooooo that was something that could come out. She didn't really feel like talking about her brief past with Kol to the girl who was desperately in love with him. She realized this could blow up in her face and she could very well lose the one friend she had made here. There was nothing she could do about it now.
Bonnie watched the halls and found a clear path. Davina happily walked through the hallway.
"There's his room, at the end of the hall."
Bonnie still looked around for any guards or orderlies. Davina ran to the end of the hall. Bonnie slowly and a bit lifelessly shuffled her feet walking behind her.
Kol then came out of his room and the frown on his face turned into a devouring smile as he saw Davina running to him. Davina ran into his arms and he lifted her up spinning her around.
"You made it darling." Kol said as he lifted her up.
"Was there any doubt?" Davina asked.
"Not when it comes to you." Kol said.
Then Davina proceded to kiss him full of passion. Bonnie looked away and let the two love birds have their moment. She needed to be the look out anyway. She was about to turn around and go back to the end of the hall when Davina called out to her, "Bonnie come meet my boyfriend."
Bonnie turned to Davina dangling over Kol. He held his arm around her waist. He finally looked up and saw Bonnie. Bonnie sighed heavily oh well she better get this over with.
She walked up to them.
"Bonnie Bennett you are the witch friend that Davina made? Of course you are." Kol said with the crooked edge to his smile.
Bonnie rolled her eyes.
Then Davina looked at Bonnie questioningly and asked, "Wait you two know eachother?"
"We met a few times."Kol said.
Bonnie sighed, "They weren't that memorable."
He looked at her he seemed ready with a retort but then said, "Yep, same here."
Bonnie wasn't going to question his willingness not to tell Davina that she was part of the reason he died in the first place.
Then Davina looked between them suspiciously and said, "OK. I'm not buying it. What's going on here? Did you two...?"
"Uh. No." Bonnie said disgusted.
Kol laughed, "Do not worry darling. It was nothing like jealously looks very good on you."
He said as he cupped her cheeks.
"OK. Whatever I'll leave you two love birds to it." Bonnie said.
Davina nodded and then put her attention to Kol.
Bonnie decided she just needed to focus on this one thing being Davina's look out. She was just relieved that Kol was tight lipped on how she was involved in his demise. It was strange thinking about those small moments it was such a long time ago. Their last meeting did kind of linger though. That moment when she realized what a mistake she made in sacraficing herself. She wanted to live her life she didn't want to miss out on being with her friends. She didn't want to be the one who always had to give up everything. But she ended up doing it and in a way so her friends wouldn't have to suffer. It was what she always did. In that moment she wanted to do the selfish thing and work with the psycho vampire for her own personal gain and actually live but of course she couldn't do that because her friends could get hurt. So she sacrificed herself but hey it all worked out eventually. That was such a long time ago and she was a different person now.
Bonnie turned at the corner of the hall and passed by a vampire. They both turned and looked at eachother fiercely staring the other one down. He held her gaze like he was challenging her or something. Could he tell that she wasn't a vampire? What was his game? He then walked passed her to the other direction. OK. That was a close one she supposed, he must have been too busy doing his own thing to think about whether or not she belonged here or even cared.
So she breathed a little easier while she stood watch at the corner of the hallway. He was just a random vampire she should not be concerned by him. As long as he was not noisey and alerted guards or orderlies, she should be fine.
Then she heard a tap, tap, tap at the other end of the hallway. It was kind of subtle but annoying then the tap, tap, tap sound grew louder and louder into to knocking. Bonnie wanted to just ignore it. She looked down the hall and there was the same guy kneeling by the wall knocking on it. Then he whispered in a sexy as hell British accent, "Come on bloody crystals. Come out where ever you are."
Crystals?Ohhhhhh crystals. Oh great. He began banging on the wall loudly.
Bonnie placed her hand on her hip perturbed, "What are you trying to do?"
He turned around eying her with a sexy glimmer in his eye.
"I don't see how that is your business."
Bonnie rolled her eyes and whispered demanding, "Keep it down. You are going to alert the guards."
His eyebrows raised intrigued.
"Really? And why does that concern you?"
Bonnie didn't answer.
Then he said, "Ahhhhh. You don't belong here."
"Either do you, it's the middle of the night." Bonnie said.
"Who are you?"
"Who in the hell are you?" Bonnie asked back.
He curled his bottom lip and stood up and put out his hand for her to shake and asked, "I asked you first."
Bonnie sighed.
"Bonnie." She said she reluctantly took his hand.
Then he pulled her hand up to his lips and kissed it.
"Enzo. It's a pleasure."
Bonnie took her hand back. Trying to ignore that tingling feeling ignite. It had been such a long time anyone touched her not to mention kiss her. It was just a kiss on a hand and he was just being a typical charming vampire but a vampire never really tried to charm her before. The last guy with that kind of bad boy look in his eye who tried to charm ended in a nightmare so her natural reaction would to be run away. That would be showing weakness and she couldn't do that. So she stood her ground and said, "OK, Enzo keep it down so you don't get caught."
"Sorry I can't do that. I'm in the middle of something."
"I could see that and hear it. You are not subtle. And what you are doing isn't going to work."
"And how do you know that?"
"I tried."
"And failed. Well I won't." He said determined.
"You will. Even if you find the crystals it won't break the spell that subdues your vampire ablilities. The spell is bound by Freya Mikealson the oldest living witch there is. There is no way to break the spell. Just accept it."
He looked at her with fierce eyes.
"I do not accept defeat easily. I have survived too much to call it quits now. You may have given up and convinced yourself it is OK to hide in here. I have been in worse places than this where there was no hope but I still found a way. There is always a way out and I will find it." He got close to her invading her personal space. Bonnie's breath hitched as he looked at at her menacing. She saw deep hurt in his eyes. He had this intense fighting spirit to him that she could not help but admire for a moment. What he said about her just giving up jolted her. She wanted to dismissed it in her mind. She wanted to forget about it and pretend that didn't bother her but it did. It bothered her. She didn't give up. Did she? She just accepted the reality for what it is. She always was a fighter. She fought against all odds for her friends for so long and yeah she put her life on the line for them but that didn't mean she gave up. And yeah she accepted that she was stuck here and there was nothing she could do about it but...oh crap. She gave up. So what was the point? Why did it even matter? She was better off here in anyway. No one could hurt her in here and she couldn't hurt anyone. She backed away from him and said, "Well, good luck with that."
"Gee. Thanks." Enzo said.
Bonnie walked past him and went back to the corner she was guarding. There was no point in detering him in his mission he wouldn't give up and she didn't have the energy to stop him. All she could do is make sure no guards came.
She rested her back on the wall folding her arms. She waited for the annoying knocking to start up again but it didn't instead Enzo went up to her.
"What are you doing?" Bonnie asked.
"Why are you here?" Enzo asked.
"It's none of your concern."
"Oh really, well you could interfere with my plans." Enzo said.
"I'm obviously not. I'm just standing here. So leave me alone." Bonnie said.
"Well, wasn't my knocking interfering with your plans?"
Enzo asked.
"It's fine. Do what you want."
He looked at her pursing his lips together and he said, "Hmmmmm I think what I want is to know why you are here."
There he went invading her personal space again.
"Why would you care?"
"Just curious I guess." Enzo said.
"It's not that big of deal." Bonnie said.
"Enlighten me." Enzo said with his smooth voice ringing in her ears.
"Fine. My friend is seeing her boyfriend. I am being the look out."
"Ahhhhh. Hense, your annoyance with my loudness."
"Yep." Bonnie said as ahe popped her p.
"I will keep quiet then."
"Oh, thanks."
"So why are you helping them?" Enzo asked.
"They're my friends."
"What if you get caught?"
"What's the worst that can happen?" Bonnie shrugged.
"Hmmmmm. Well, I will leave you to it. Have a nice night." Enzo said.
Then she watched as he walked away.
A\N2:Thanks for reading and let me know what you think.
