So this is a co-written story with the amazing MidnightRain6593 and Anne04. Check out their Kennett/Bamon stories, they are absolutely amazing! I have written the first chapter, MidnightRain6593 will write the second and Anne04 will write the third and so and so forth. I am currently in another collab for the show Victorious with the fantastic a novelist and I just wanted to try out a three person collab on TVD. It's an interesting idea and I'm sure these girls are going to be fabulous.

'i want the love, the money, and the perfect ending
you want the same as i. i so stop pretending
i want to show you how good we could be together
i want to love you through the night

i don't believe in fairy tales
but i believe in you and me
take me to wonderland'

She feels the first twinges of magic while she is breaking from her slumber.
At first, it's like a little tune of warmth and beauty. Something from a dream that was oh, so sweet.
And then it plows through her like a knife to the gut.
"What the-?"
Her phone was going crazy, vibrating so violently that it almost fell off of the nightstand. She grabbed it up and answered it, hearing Caroline's panicked voice on the other end.
"Bonnie, something's hitting the town! I don't know what it is but I think it may be Silas-" Caroline's voice is suddenly cut off. It sounds like someone (or something) had snatched the phone away from her but she can still hear the scuffling in the back ground.
"Caroline?! Caroline!"
And then the line goes dead.
"Oh, my god..."
-;
It's gone.
Everything is abandoned. It's practically a ghost town.
As she drives, she sees people on the sidewalk, a sparse few compared to the crowd that used to be.
And then right before her very eyes, they disappear.
"Oh, my God!"
Her shriek is louder than she means for it to be and she almost swerves, her hands twisting on the wheel.
She manages to catch her throttling breath, her eyes going down on the gage. To her horror, she realizes that she is about to run out of gas and she's only a freaking block away from the gas station.
So she flies.
Bonnie finds herself running as fast as she can, having abandoned her dying car halfway down the block.
Lightening crackles through the sky. Thunder rumbles under her feet.
The last time she had run this fast was when Matt was drowning in the pool...she never wanted to be that afraid again.
The first door that she hits is the Mystic Falls Grille, tumbling through. It's totally empty except for one chair that is occupied by a raven haired vampire.
"Witch! Where the hell have you been?!"
Damn it, why did he have to be the first one she found?
"I just woke up, jackass. Caroline called me and it sounded like someone grabbed her!"
"I've been looking all over for Blondie, she called me too. Everyone's disappearing right and left."
Bonnie lets out a worried gasp, a shaky hand running through her hair. They were standing in the middle of the deserted Grille, surrounded by empty chairs and flickering lights.
"What the hell is going on? Who else is left? Damon, everyone's gone! I can't get a hold of Caroline or Stefan-"
"Hey, hey, hey, Bonnie! Bonnie, relax," Damon's hands close around her shoulders, giving her a slight shake. Their eyes meet and she gives a small incline of the head.
"Yeah, whatever."
"I don't know where everyone else is," Damon replies. "I have been trying everyone's phones, I even went to Caroline's house. But Stefan disappeared out of his bed this morning. That's when I knew that this wasn't good."
Bonnie lets out a huff of breath. "You're telling me!"
"Isn't there any kind of spell-"
That was the door was broken down, startling the vampire and the witch out of their wits.
"What the hell-?"
"Hello mates!" chirps a suspiciously happy Kol as he trots through the doorway and steps casually over the broken in door. "Are you enjoying this curse that Silas is setting upon this lovely little toilet of a town?"
Damon steps in front of Bonnie, a familiar and very unfamiliar protective stance coming over him. He is dying to knock this kid's head off but alas, he knows that Kol could cream him into the floor.
"Are you telling me that you-?"
Kol shakes his head cheerily. "Nope, I have nothing to do with this. But I do have to say, when I woke up this morning and found my family gone and felt this magic in the air, I knew it was him. And now I have to happily say, 'I told ya so'."
With that, he turns to leave.
"Oh, no you don't!"
Bonnie shoves Damon out of her way, her hand darting out and pulling back in with a fist. Kol comes flying backwards, ripped right off of his feet, and landing on his back with a sickening thud on the bar. A yowl of pain shudders through his body before he's on his haunches, his fangs bared. Bonnie remembers that one other very pleasant time when he had her pinned against those lockers and his fangs were out.
"Do that again," he smirks, his eyes black with blood. "That tickled."
This time it's Bonnie being pushed backwards as Damon takes the hit. The two tussle for a moment before another blast of magic pulls them apart, pinning one against the bar and the other against a landpost.
"Damn it, knock it off!" Bonnie shouts, both arms extended, nearly trembling with the force of power as it pulses through her. She releases Damon first, leaving Kol pressed up to the bar. "Tell us what you know!"
"If you kindly let me up, I'll be happy to tell you everything."
"No, no, no. You just tried to kill me again," Bonnie snarls. "Tell us what you know or-"
That's when the lights go out.
And the whole building begins the shake.
"It's too late!" Kol shouts, managing to break Bonnie's weakening connection. His body turns in a graceful leap and he's on top of the witch again. But this time, his body is shielding her, one free arm reaching out and grabbing onto Damon's collar, pulling him down with them.
It's like she has suddenly landed into a very bizarre version of The Wizard of Oz and she's stuck in Dorothy's house as it's sucked into the twister. Maybe that's it. Maybe this is just all a horrible, strange, outlandish dream and she'll be waking up any time soon.
She feels Damon coming down beside her, his large arms surrounding her tiny form and pulling her against his chest. Kol's tall form is practically wrapped around the both of them, his body working as a shield.
The magic is so strong.
It doesn't match anything she has ever felt before in her whole life.
And she's frightened.
Oh, how she's terrified.
"What's happening?!" Damon demands through noise, his voice barely heard above the shattering windows.
"It's the curse!" Kol manages to answer. "Just stay down!"
Electricity fills the air, pulling them down.
And they're falling...
They're falling.
"Hold on!"
And there's nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
-;
It very well could have been a day. A year. Maybe even a century before she opens her eyes again.
Both vampires are still on top of her.
In another situation, she may have liked this.
"Okay, you can get off of me," she manages to push out, due to being unable to breathe. Damn it, how much cologne did these two jerks wear?
Kol's the first one to get up, stretching his long limbs and ruffling up his mussed up hair like he was a bird that had just come from flight.
Damn, the jackass always did remind her of a bird. A majestic hawk maybe, never taking any prisoners, swooping down on his kill and continuing on.
Damon almost doesn't realize that he's still wrapped around her tiny form until he practically throws her from him like he had been burned.
Well, actually, she did burn his arm to get him to loosen up a bit.
"Is it over?" Damon curses quietly, swiping a trembling hand over his angular jaw.
They are still in the Grille so nothing could have changed too much. Well, except for the fact that all the windows are broken.
Kol glances around warily, his dark brown eyes peeling for any sign of movement besides the three of them.
"I don't think so," he replies. With a tentative stride, he walks towards the doorway.
Bonnie follows him, ignoring Damon's huff of annoyance. She hears him fall into step behind her after a moment's pass.
Kol lets out a gasp when he reaches the doorway, nearly startling Bonnie to death.
"Whawhatwhat?!"
"Come see," is his soft reply.
"Bonnie-!" She ignores his protest, calling herself crazy as she follows the vampire that had just tried to kill not moments ago and then saved her life and Damon's life a minute after that.
-;
It's like someone turned out the sun.
There's nothing but darkness.
But this land...this land was not their land.
The three of them stand on the edge of the Earth, looking out into the sea of nothingness.
There is a loud slurping noise and they all turn in sync, watching the withered remains of the Grille fade away, disappearing completely.
"I'll be the first to say it," Damon says quietly. "Where the hell are we?"
-;
Uh-oh!
So, the development of this is going to be, of course, MidnightRain6593 will write the next chapter and Anne04 will write chapter 3 and so on and so forth. We've got so many twists and turns planned that it will make your head spin but we do hope that you love it. We need some delicious Kennett/Bamon because basically, it's all about Elena right now. And you know what? We need a break!
Anyway, hope you enjoyed the full of holes prologue. Stay tuned for chapter one! And remember, reviews are always appreciated!
