Anything Could Happen; Kol&Bonnie
Bonnie ran faster than she ever had before in her life. She was tiny, making running fast very difficult, but she pushed on, urging her legs to go faster. She had left her phone at home; it was pointless because she didn't have his number anyway. This was the only way she could reach him - the Original Hybrid. Finally, she reached her desired destination of the Original's Mansion. Knocking on the door she yelled for Klaus, telling him to open up.
"Klaus! Open the door! Hurry up!" She yelled, panic seeping into her voice. She raised her hand to knock on the door again but before she could do so the door swung open to reveal an irritated and dishevelled hybrid. Standing behind him was -
"Caroline?" Bonnie asked, mouth dropping open and eyes wide with shock.
"Never mind, what is it witch?" Klaus questioned her, inviting her in and shutting the door behind her.
"It's Kol," Bonnie began fearfully, heart nearly pounding right out of her chest.
"What about him?" Klaus growled.
"Elena and Jeremy are going to kill him," Bonnie explained, tears running down her face.
"No, no, no, no, NO!" Klaus roared, kicking a sofa completely over before putting his face in his hands.
"When?" Caroline was shocked, she didn't know that Bonnie cared for Kol. The blond baby vampire didn't mind but she just hoped the feelings were reciprocated.
"He's at their house right now, Jeremy made Elena lure him there. I think Stefan and Damon are in on the plan," Bonnie announced breathlessly.
"Sit down love, you're going to have a heart attack," Klaus gestured to the sofa before flashing to the kitchen and back, handing Bonnie a glass of water which she accepted gratefully.
"We need a plan, we can't let him die," Caroline replied fearfully, and Klaus wrapped a strong arm around her small waist.
"I can bring him back," Bonnie began slowly.
"But we need to let them think he is dead first," She added, thinking over spells.
"I'll kill them all," Klaus growled, shaking angrily.
"Calm down Nik," Caroline whispered to him, something that did not go unnoticed by Bonnie. Since when was he Nik to Caroline? No matter, Bonnie was glad her blond friend was happy. After all, Bonnie couldn't judge, she'd been sneaking around with an Original too. The only people who knew of their relationship were themselves, Klaus and Rebekah.
"Okay, we need to leave now, are you ready Bonnie?" The hybrid asked her, kneeling down in front of her.
"As ready as I'll ever be," She exhaled, and silence hit the room. Klaus listened intently for a moment.
"Are you - how?" He asked her; confused about something that Caroline was unaware of.
"Yes, and I don't know," Bonnie said, and he could hear how scared she was.
"I will protect you love, and Kol will be fine, we trust you," Klaus reassured her.
"I need him Klaus," Bonnie whispered, looking down at her hands in her lap.
"And you'll get him sweetheart, come along," He sighed, standing and helping Bonnie up before adjusting his and Caroline's appearances. The girls followed him out the front door apprehensively, both irritated beyond belief with Elena - why would she do such a thing?
Arriving at the Salvatore Boarding House, the unlikely trio headed to the cellar, where they found the eldest Salvatore brother. Angrily, Klaus slammed Damon against the wall by the neck.
"What the hell's going on?" Klaus asked him, eyes narrowed.
"I don't know," Damon lied carefully.
"What are Jeremy and Elena planning?"
"I don't know. I'm stuck in the box with you since yesterday. Jeremy doesn't talk to me, and Elena won't come to see me, so maybe you're right. Maybe she's written me up."
"Tell me what you know," Klaus compelled him, patience wearing thin.
"I don't know anything about a plan," Damon replied coolly.
"Fine," Klaus snapped, releasing him and gesturing for the girls to follow him. He waited until they were clear of the house and Damon's hearing before he spoke.
"He's under vervain, we won't get any truth from him," The hybrid rolled his eyes - the Salvatores were becoming annoying, well the eldest especially.
"Typical, ugh," Bonnie also rolled her eyes; Damon was getting on her last nerve.
"We'll have to go straight there, there's no time," Klaus picked up Bonnie and both he and Caroline began running at supernatural speed.
Elena appeared at the top of the staircase, a crossbow in her shaking hands. Taking careful aim, she shot Kol directly in the leg causing him to let out an anguished cry, before she ran upstairs with vampire speed. Furious, Kol ripped the arrow out and followed her upstairs. Running to her bedroom, Elena slammed the door behind her and tried to shove the dresser in front of it, but Kol was stronger and he grabbed her, causing her to fall to the ground. Quickly she flashed to the bathroom and locked the door but Kol kicked it open, eyes almost black with fury. Backing up, the brunette vampire retreated into Jeremy's room and Kol punched the door, breaking the wood. Jeremy appeared suddenly with a stake gun that he had aimed at Kol.
"Missed," Kol snarled as Jeremy shot a stake at him which he caught. Jeremy shot again and Kol caught it smoothly with his other hand. Sensing they were losing, Elena fired a pistol at him, shooting him multiple times, not that it did much.
"Go!" She screamed worriedly to Jeremy, who ran as fast as he could. Elena continued to shoot Kol, who threw one of the stakes which hit her thigh. She let out an agonising scream but when she looked up, Kol was gone. Jeremy ran through the hallway, hearing his sister scream. Before he knew it, Kol had punched him and then threw him unceremoniously down the stairs. Elena pulled the stake out swiftly and jumped on Kol's back, but he tossed her effortlessly against the wall.
Grabbing one of the posts from the stair railing, he staked Elena right through the stomach, slamming the stake through the wall as well. He was sick to death of the Doppelganger bitch - now he knew why his twin sister Rebekah hated her so much.
"Ow!" She gasped, breathing heavily in pain, unable to move. She watched helplessly as Kol walked over to Jeremy and dragged him down the stairs by his feet.
"Now, about that arm, let me see it," Kol growled viciously.
About a block from Elena's, Bonnie told Klaus and Caroline to stop. Pulling out a candle from her pocket, Bonnie lit it with her magic and held it in both hands. Both vampires looked at her confused.
"I'm putting a protection spell on Kol, so when he dies I can bring him back easier," Bonnie explained, scared that Kol and death were in the same sentence.
"I need to draw on something of his."
"Draw on yourself and—" Klaus trailed off, eyeing Caroline.
"Surely nothing I would give you could be stronger than that," He added and Bonnie nodded in response, he was right.
"Okay," Bonnie took a deep breath before chanting in Latin. The candle lit up strongly, before extinguishing.
"It's done."
"Now we can go?" Caroline asked, she too was worried.
"Now we can go," Bonnie confirmed.
Elena managed to pull the stake that was pinning her against the wall out and she raced down to the kitchen. She shoved Kol and slammed a knife into his chest, pushing him against the counter. Jeremy rushed to the sink, grabbing the extendable faucet spout and spraying Kol with vervain water. Kol grunted as Elena moved away. Keeping the water on Kol, Jeremy gestured for her and she took the White Oak stake from Kol's jacket, throwing it to her younger brother.
"Jeremy, now!" She shouted. Catching the stake, Jeremy sharply impaled Kol, who screamed as the stake hit his heart. His eyes widened as his skin and clothes caught on fire. Trying to run, he toppled over and the others backed away slowly.
"What did you do?" Looking over to the open door, they saw an upset and very angry Klaus.
"We - we didn't have a choice. He was trying to cut off Jeremy's arm!" Elena stuttered nervously.
"Lies! He never would have gotten inside if you didn't set a trap for him," Klaus growled. He had had enough of the bloody Doppelganger.
"You said you were going to deal with him!" Elena protested.
"I was going to make him suffer, on my terms!" Klaus roared.
"I'm going to burn this house to the ground. And then, when you try to flee for your lives, I'll kill you both without blinking."
"You kill us; you'll never get to the cure. You'll never be able to make any more hybrids," Jeremy reasoned.
"You really think I care for an instant about my bloody hybrids? I want it, so I can destroy it. I would have killed you all the second we dug it up. But now, I'm just going to watch you burn instead," Klaus shouted. Caroline and Bonnie, who were hidden on the porch beside him, could see how much it hurt him to see his baby brother lying dead on the floor. Caroline was proud, he really didn't care about his hybrids. Family above all. Suddenly, Klaus fell to the ground, clutching his head. Bonnie had to give him props, he was a good actor, and she wasn't really giving him an aneurysm only pretending to as she walked in.
"Invite him in," She said coldly to Elena who looked at her like she was crazy.
"Do it!" She spat angrily as Klaus got up.
"Come in," Jeremy told him dubiously. Bonnie brought him in and 'held' him in place.
"Living room, now!" Elena and Jeremy ran into the kitchen, watching as Klaus tried to follow but couldn't. It seemed as if there was some sort of invisible barrier, preventing him from getting in. He also watched as Jeremy and Elena grabbed the White Oak Stake and ran to the front door.
"Witch, you can't do this to me," Klaus demanded.
"You have no idea what I can do," Bonnie said defiantly.
"I will hunt all of you to your end! Do you hear me? Do you?" Klaus roared at the Gilbert pair who ran out of the house. Waiting until they were definitely gone, Caroline entered the house and Bonnie released the spell on the living room, freeing Klaus. Tears were evident in his eyes as he bent down and gently picked up his little brother's body.
"Let's go," He sniffed, walking out the door. When they reached the witch's house, Bonnie gestured for them to follow her to the basement.
"They're letting me in," Klaus stated, surprised.
"Yes, Ayana said to let you in," Bonnie shrugged, unsure of who exactly that was.
"Ayana was my mother's mentor and our village witch. I promised to protect her children, I owed her because she kept me safe and healed me when Mikael was on the war path," Klaus revealed, smiling slightly at his human memories. Giving him a quick kiss on the cheek, Caroline smiled before following Bonnie down the stairs.
"Lay him here, in the circle," Bonnie told Klaus. She was struggling to look at her boyfriend's body, which lay in front of her. She feared if she looked properly she would break down in tears. But the young witch knew she couldn't, she needed to do this - she needed him. Once more, the candles in the room lit up, and Caroline took an involuntary step back into Klaus' muscled chest causing him to wrap his strong arms around her. Relaxed, she watched her best friend and prayed this would work. Chanting in Latin, Bonnie went into a trance like state. The witch spirits were contacting her, they wanted to save Kol. A familiar face came to the front, stopping right in front of Bonnie. The familiarity and memories flowed to the surface, and tears spilled over Bonnie's cheeks.
"Grams?" She asked, disbelief evident in her voice.
"My little baby Bonnie, it's me. I know you want to save this boy and myself along with the other witch spirits are behind you. We will take most of the strain of the spell, so you do not harm yourself, or the other. We trust in you Bonnie, and he does too. You love him, don't you child?" Her Grams asked, smiling at her young granddaughter.
"I do, Grams, I love him," Bonnie half laughed through her tears at the realisation - she didn't tell him enough.
"Well then child, you best finish the spell. Don't worry; we'll talk again sometime soon. I love you, and I'm proud of you baby, don't ever forget that," Grams smiled, placing a kiss on Bonnie's forehead, before disappearing into the mass of grey swirls. Just as her Grams disappeared, the candles lit up once more before extinguishing again.
"Did it work?" Caroline asked in a small voice, tears running down her face as well. As soon as she said that, Kol took a deep breath and his eyes opened.
"Kol!" Bonnie jumped on him, hugging him tightly. It was a good thing he was not easily breakable. Inhaling her soft vanilla scent he had missed so much, he wrapped his arms around her, gently pulling her closer to him and onto his lap.
"I've missed you Bonnie," He murmured, kissing her softly. Helping him to his feet, she stepped back as the two brothers enveloped each other in strong hugs.
"I thought you were dead Kol," Klaus exhaled, hugging his brother.
"I thought I was too," Kol admitted, letting go of his brother.
"Caroline, still with this dick then," He added, laughing and gesturing to his older brother.
"Yep," Caroline grinned, hugging Kol briefly, before stepping back.
"I'm glad you're okay," The hybrid grinned, clapping his baby brother on the back.
"I am too, all thanks to my beautiful girlfriend, hey don't cry darling," Kol thumbed the tears away from under Bonnie's eyes.
"You were dead! Elena and Jeremy killed you!" Bonnie sniffled, hugging her tall boyfriend again.
"Hey, relax, I'm fine okay, I promise I won't get killed anymore. Unless I irritate Nik and get daggered again," Kol smirked, back to his usual self.
"Can we get out of here? It's eerie and I'm feeling a tad… dead."
"Let's go," Bonnie grinned as he wrapped his arm around her waist. She wasn't going to let him go.
"What do you mean Kol is dead?" Rebekah asked Elena, who stood in front of her in the Salvatore Boarding House.
"Jeremy staked him, he's dead," Elena announced proudly.
"You Doppelganger bitch!" Rebekah yelled, snapping her neck before the others could react. Next, she snapped Damon's neck and broke his spine, before knocking out the Gilbert brother.
"Stefan? Did you know about this?" Rebekah sobbed, tears trickling down her pale beautiful face.
"No, I swear! Come on, we'll go and see," Stefan said solemnly, pulling the blond to Elena's house. When they arrived there, the front door was wide open, but there was no sign of Bonnie, Kol or Klaus.
"I think we should go to mine," Rebekah wiped her eyes furiously, and Stefan drew her in for a hug.
"Okay let's go," He agreed, wrapping an arm around her waist.
It was Klaus who opened the door to his baby sister. He surveyed her face, the tear tracks gave it all away.
"Before you say anything, he was killed. Elena and Jeremy staked him. But not before Bonnie used a protection spell. We took him to the witches' house and Bonnie was able to bring him back. He's absolutely fine, he's in his room with Bonnie and Caroline," Klaus explained to the pair at the door, following them as they flashed up the stairs. Rebekah stepped away from Stefan and jumped on Kol, who luckily had good enough reflexes to catch his little twin sister. She cried into his shoulder and he rubbed her back, kissing her hair lightly.
"Relax Bekah, I am fine, see," He told her, trying to calm her down.
"You're my twin, what would I do if you died? I'd be stuck with Nik and Elijah - it would be hell!" She giggled through her tears, causing them all to laugh. Caroline, Bonnie and Stefan were surprised to find out the two were twins, they thought Kol was older.
"Hey!" Klaus protested, sitting down beside Caroline on Kol's bed.
"Shush Niklaus!" Kol gave his older brother a playful look.
"My name is Nik, or Klaus, stop calling me Niklaus, you sound like Elijah," Klaus grumbled.
"Who sounds like me?" A voice asked from the doorway. They all snapped their heads around to look at the new arrival.
"Elijah!" Rebekah bounced over to her eldest brother, a big grin on her face. Her family were all reunited and safe. He caught her in a hug, lifting her easily off the ground.
"Kol, I heard what happened - are you alright little brother?" Elijah asked him calmly, looking him up and down.
"Well I'm not dead," Kol grinned, dimples showing as Bonnie smacked his arm.
"Kol!" She rolled her eyes and he shrugged, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her cheek.
"Typical smart remark from my little brother. I have obviously missed that. Come, let us catch up, Niklaus, Rebekah, Miss Forbes, Mr Salvatore," Elijah gestured for them and they followed him out the door, Stefan shutting it behind him.
"I can't believe you died Kol," Bonnie covered her face with her hands.
"But I'm here now with you and that's all that matters darling," Kol pulled her hands away from her face gently, kissing her fingertips as they lay back together on the bed.
"I love you Bonnie Bennett," He told her suddenly, nervous for her reaction.
"I love you too Kol Mikaelson," She grinned, pulling him into a deep kiss.
"Mm, I have missed that over the past two weeks," He murmured softly, pushing her hair off her face.
"Kol, I have something to tell you," Bonnie began, watching his face.
"Shoot," He replied.
"I'm pregnant," Bonnie said quickly, waiting hesitantly for him to go mad.
"How? Is it mine? There's no way though," He muttered the last part to himself.
"Of course it's yours, you arsehole! Apparently the witches didn't want the Bennett line to end, you were appropriate and our love is strong so they 'helped us out' shall we say," Bonnie finished, eyeing him and stroking his copper coloured messy hair.
"This is real. This is real. I'm going to be a dad. I'm going to be a dad!" Kol grabbed her off the bed excitedly, swinging her around.
"This is absolutely crazy. I didn't think it physically possible, I knew it was impossible yet still," His eyebrows furrowed in that cute way that made Bonnie just want to cuddle him forever.
"Well listen carefully. Klaus could hear two heartbeats," Bonnie asked him. He was silent for a minute, taking it all in and listening. Sure enough, there were two heartbeats.
"Wow, I just, I don't know what to say other than, I love you Bonnie darling. You're mine," He kissed her deeply, arms pulling her flush against his body.
"I can't believe Nik found out first, what a bummer," Kol rolled his eyes.
"Kol! Focus! So not the most important thing here!" Bonnie reprimanded him and the dimples were back. God, she was a sucker for them. Who knew that seeing those little dimples after Jeremy cheated would have gotten her into such a palava.
"Sorry, I know, I can't help it! This is crazy!" He admitted softly, lying back down with her on the bed. She had to agree with him, it was almost too crazy to be true. But yet, this was Mystic Falls and anything could happen.
