As Bonnie walked away from Jeremy, her heart battled conflicting emotions.
She was blissfully happy that he was alive and well again returning Elena to her normal self. However, at the same time she had an unbridled feeling of longing for wanting to continue on with life; to on with life and to see what challenges life would bring her.
Despite all of this, Bonnie couldn't help but feel like she deserved death. She'd done things that she was appalled at and in her opinion rendered her unworthy of being a witch at all. Now that she was on the other side, she was undoubtedly going to face judgement from all the other witches. Bonnie was wary of this as she was intelligent enough not to underestimate the witches of the other side.
"Are you alright?"
The soft voice beside her shattered Bonnie's musings instantly, bringing her back to reality. Bonnie smiled, although it did not reach her eyes.
"Yeh Grams I am fine." She replied, attempting to disguise her worries.
Grams gave Bonnie a look, indicating that she saw straight through Bonnie's façade.
"Child, you just died. Its okay to be upset." She told her kindly.
A real smile spread across Bonnie's features upon hearing the motherly advice.
She'd missed her Grams more than she could ever imagine and interacting with was one of the only perks of being dead.
"Yes I know Grams. I'd just like to at least act strong after all I've done." Bonnie replied sadly.
Grams captured Bonnie's thin face in between her hands.
"Bonnie, everyone makes mistakes. And I still love you no matter what." She told her firmly.
Bonnie let the words sink un, finally feeling peace for the first time ages.
"Thanks Grams. Its so good to see you again. I am glad that I am able to spend the rest of my afterlife with you." Bonnie laughed.
Grams laughed and because of their laughter they didn't notice a third person intruding on their conversation. It was only when the third person cleared their throat was when Bonnie noticed him. As she turned to the intruder, she gasped, eyes narrowing in vigilance.
"Kol." She muttered menacingly.
Kol smirked at her, leaning against the ancient rocks of the cave they were in. His potion made him appear even more sly and cunning them normal, causing wariness to spread throughout Bonnie.
"I am sorry. Did I interrupt a little heart to heart?" Kol greeted mockingly.
Grams narrowed her eyes at Kol, still threatening despite her age.
She pushed Bonnie protectively behind her, much to Bonnie's petulance.
"You have no business here, vampire." She snapped.
"How are you even here Kol." Bonnie demanded.
Kol rolled his eyes, Bonnie's incompetence to unravel the secret of his sudden presence irking him.
"Now, and here I thought you would be happy to see me. Darling, I have powerful friends on the other side. Plus I am an original, or did your death cause you to forget this information?" was his reply, his tone both coy and menacing.
Bonnie glared at him, trying to ignore the effect that his delicious English accent had on her. She couldn't deny that he was physically attractive. However, she was forced to ignore this fact as his actions eradicated any chance of her developing feelings for him.
"I do not care who your friends with or how powerful of vampire you think you are. Being an original obviously didn't prevent your death, but in fact caused it. Now go. You will leave us alone." Grams threatened.
She narrowed her eyes and focused them on Kol her anger fuelling her magic. Kol dropped to the floor, clutching his head in pain.
"Come on Bonnie!" Grams said quickly, dragging Bonnie from Kol.
In a flash, Kol grabbed Bonnie's arms, pulling her backwards and straight into his arms.
He bent his head slowly down, his skin brushing slightly against hers. Bonnie's heart beat accelerated due to being in close proximity with Kol.
"This isn't over little witch." He whispered softly in her ear.
His voice evoked a reaction within Bonnie that she k new she shouldn't be having. For a moment, she was paralysed, the feeling of Kol against her making her body unable to function properly. Then in the next minute, she'd regained sense and kicked Kol in the shin, causing him to release her. Bonnie ran after her Grams, already trying to block out the events that had just occurred.
so I am not sure whether I should continue with this so please review!
