Challenging Roads
Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Diaries if I did Bonnie would get a lot more story than she's getting on the show.
A/N: This story is dedicated to my favorite sister KJ-Vampire-RBB's she's the one who got me back interested in VD FF. She really helped me brainstorm with this one. You should check out her fic Peaceful Distruction. And check are fic we did together out There's Something About Bonnie. I also like to thank Rockerchick08 who had started the Klonnie mission trying to get more Klonnie fic on this site. I only started this because I agreed that there needed as much Klonnie as possible. But then I realized there were other relationships that I wanted to see more of too and bummed it didn't happen so it's not just Klonnie, it is also Stebekah, and Klefan bromance.
Spoilers: Up to 3.3. It starts at the end changing up in it a bit.
Stefan looked at this girl who did looked so familiar to him but it was like she was a cloud of a memory he didn't have. She was beautiful ere blond wavy hair flowed complementing her slinky dress from the twenties. Then Klaus looked Stefan deep within his eyes and said, "Remember."
Then suddenly he had flashes of this beautiful girl. He remembered kissing her, dancing with her, maiming victims together. He remembered her. He was filled with the memory of her. He remembered her feel, her touch, her smell, her everything.
He walked towards her and grabbed her with one stroke of a passionate kiss.
After she gasped for breath she smiled showing her fangs, "Miss me, dear?"
"I wish I got the chance. Your dear brother compelled me to forget." Stefan said keeping his hands firmly on her hips.
"Did he now?" Rebekah said as she turned to Klaus.
"Sorry, sis I did it for your own good." Klaus said.
"Nick? That is always your excuse for your betrayal of all of our siblings. Why should I believe you?" Rebekah spat out.
"It is the truth sister, besides I did bring him back. You got what you wanted so I was wondering if you could help me and contact the Original Witch." Klaus said.
She pulled down on her empty neck and said, "My necklace! Where is my Necklace?"
Stefan looked at her neck and clung to his memories and remembered her necklace. He always was fascinated with it and after Rebekah and Klaus left he found it and kept it and gave it to Elena. Rebekah was clearly upset and he did want to appease her and calm her and make her happy but then he did think about Elena and how much danger that could put her in.
Then Klaus said, "We'll talk to the witch and see if we can locate it."
"You better!" Rebekah said looking to throw a temper tantrum.
Then Stefan held her from behind touching her waste and said in her ear, "In the meantime, I think we should get some time to catch up."
He then started to softly kiss her neck.
Rebekah smiled and said, "I could use some catching up."
Then Stefan spun her around to face him and they began to make out some more.
Klaus said loudly, "I'll just go talk to the witch myself. Don't mind me!"
He left the room smiling happy that his sister was happy.
Bonnie sat at the café looking at her uneaten food. Jeremy had just informed her that he had been literally seeing his two dead vampire ex-girlfriends. They technically weren't even his ex-girlfriends since they technically never broke up. They both died while they were with him. So that like made her the other woman, technically. OK so dying does make them automatically broken up. She probably could eventually deal with that. It's weird but it's her life. The problem was Jeremy knew about this for three months. Three months! Granted she was gone for a lot of that but they kept in touch. They talked on the phone, they text, and Skype, and he never mentioned it once. She remembered a couple of times he seemed distracted and he dismissed it and said he just missed her. She was pissed off about the whole thing.
She had Elena's necklace in her hand. It was acting up. She could tell that something magical was going on with it. She thought doing some magic and helping Elena on her quest to get Stefan back would help.
Elena came to her.
"Hey."
"Hey, sorry I still haven't figured what was going on with your necklace. I've been a little preoccupied." Bonnie said holding onto the necklace.
"Oh. That is OK. I'll just take it back. I'll figure it out on my own."
"No. Elena I want to figure it out I just need more time and I really need this distraction from Jeremy." Bonnie said.
"Jeremy? Why should anything the little boy does concern you?"
"Uh, he is my boyfriend, for now." Bonnie said.
Elena said, "Right of course, so what did my brother do?"
"Possibly hook up with his two dead ex-girlfriends."
"Really?"
"Not really. He's just seeing their ghosts. It's just weird. It's like I'm the other woman."
"Hardly, Bonnie they're ghosts, but you are right about not moping you are a strong power witch you don't need the little boy."
Bonnie raised her eyebrow suspicious.
"He's your brother."
"I know, but he is my liittle brother. I think you can do better."
"Um, thanks. I better go and deal with Jeremy."
"You do that, meanwhile can you hand the necklace over? My neck feels empty without it." Elena said touching her neck.
Bonnie looked at the necklace and then at Elena having a bad feeling. She slowly and carefully handed it to Elena making sure she touched Elena's hand as she did she felt the feeling of pure death and dread flow through her.
She stared at her fiercely ready to aneurism her but Katherine super sped them out of sight attacking her and bit her causing Bonnie to pass out.
Katherine sighed and said, "Well, this will have to do."
Bonnie woke up finding herself in the car with Elena driving feeling the fuzziness that comes with first being awake and not knowing where you are.
"Elena what's going on?" Bonnie asked groggily.
"Oh, I just thought with the whole Jeremy debacle you could use a girl power road trip." She said raising her fist in an overdramatic jester.
Then everything came back to her.
She sat up with a jolt and felt her neck, "Katherine."
"Yeah, I figured the old Elena guise thing wouldn't last long. It usually does work. I mean I'm usually really great being all doey eyed and innocent but man, how can I fake not seeing how pathetic it is to get all bent out of shape over a little boy. Pathetic."
"Pathetic? You got to be kidding me? You're the one who was trying to force Stefan to be with you by threatening to kill people. If that's not pathetic I don't know what is. Crazy psychopath vampire!"
"I've been called worse." Katherine said with smirk.
Bonnie continued to touch her neck that completely healed.
"Didn't you bite me?"
"Yep! I gave my blood to heal you. You're welcome!" Katherine said with a smile.
"You bit me!"
"I healed you. I could have just killed you. You should be grateful!"
"Uh! Take me home!"
Bonnie was about to use her power on Katherine when Katherine said," Not so fast. I don't want to bite you again. Just hear me out."
"Why should I? You tried to kill me. You tried to kill my friends. You had my ancestor killed! Why would I even trust you?"
"I'm not asking for your trust, just a temporary alliance."
"You have a funny way of asking."
"Not my plan. I had to improvise."
"This is about the necklace. What do you want with it? Why was it acting up?"
"A witch cast a tracking spell on it."
"A witch?"
"A witch working with Klaus."
"Of course."
"Look, I know you're a loyal friend to Elena. You want Stefan back out of Klaus's control. Don't you?"
"I do but…"
"If we perform a little ritual we can contact the original witch and find out how to kill Klaus and Stefan can be free and clear."
"What is in it for you?" Bonnie asked.
"Stefan will be free and clear." Katherine said not looking at Bonnie.
"Wow! You really do love him don't you?" Bonnie asked truly shocked.
"Do we have a deal or not?" Katherine asked short.
Bonnie examined Katherine's face for a bit. Making deals with vampires never really ended well for her but it was one step closer to kill Klaus. Killing Klaus is what she wanted plus she wanted a distraction away from thinking about Jeremy and how he betrayed her trust.
Bonnie said, "Deal. Don't make me regret it or I will kill you."
Katherine simply laughed and said, "Bonnie I think this can be a beginning of a beautiful frienemy-ship."
"I think you should convince you're brother for us to stay here. It is where it all started. It's populated, even more populated then it was in the twenties, plenty of options for food." Stefan said while Rebekah was lying in his arms covered with nothing but a white sheet.
Rebekah smiled, "Sounds good to me, we can come back right after I get my necklace."
"It's just a piece of jewelry. Do you really need it?" Stefan asked as he nibbled on her ear.
"It was my mothers."
"You're mother?" He asked turning her around so she was facing him.
"Yes, my mother. She trusted me with it, so if I ever needed her she would always be with me. Even after she died I could always contact her."
"Your mother was the original witch?"
"Why? Is that a problem?"
"No, I just like discovering more about you. You're full of surprises."
"I still do have a few." Rebekah said her eyes full of mischief as she then pulled him in a kiss full of fun and excitement.
Then suddenly the door opened and Klaus came through it.
Stefan and Rebekah pulled apart and Rebekah yelled appalled, "Nick! Could you not knock?"
"Sorry sister, put your clothes on. I found it."
"The necklace? Already?" Stefan said jumping up a bit.
"Do not look so worried Stefan it isn't in Mystic Falls, well not anymore. It was there a witch was messing with it, blocking it; our witch got the location for a split second. The necklace is now on the move."
Rebekah turned to Stefan, "Why would you be worried?"
Klaus laughed a little, smiling a devilish smile and folding his arms he said, "Oh do tell her Stefan."
"Fine." Stefan said glaring at Klaus a bit and he continued, "My ex girlfriend ."
Anger flared in Rebekah's eyes.
"I gave your necklace to her."
"You what?" Rebekah asked fuming.
"Hey, in my defense I didn't know it was your necklace at the time because your brother compelled me to forget. I always had this feeling that there was something special about it. Now I know why."
Rebekah's angry face completely went away and then she said, "So this ex-girlfriend. Is she history?"
"Completely." Stefan said.
Rebekah smiled and then Klaus clapped his hands together, "Wow, Stefan you are the only man, vampire or otherwise, who could get away with that. Bravo. No matter, get dressed both of you. We have the location. We better get going."
Katherine parked in the middle of an abandoned parking lot and said, "This should do it. I brought you your Grimore."
Then Katherine took a bag from her back seat with Bonnie's Grimore.
"Okay, Bon-Bon, get on with it. Contact the original witch."
Bonnie grabbed her Grimore annoyed and said, "Just like that. You expect me to snap my fingers and say yo original witch tell me how to kill Klaus. Pretty please."
"I am sure you will think of something. "
"I'm sure I will." Bonnie said frustrated and then she grabbed her Grimore from Katherine and grabbed Elena's necklace as well.
She rummaged through a few pages for a while and then she looked up and said, "I will need candles."
"I got those!" Katherine said enthusiastic as she went to her truck to get the candles.
"Great I'm traveling with an evil, selfish, vampire girl scout." Bonnie complained.
"Always prepared!" Katherine said as she threw down a red blanket and started to place candles in a circle motion on the blanket.
Bonnie stared down at Katherine not believing she was practically picnicking with the same evil vampire who caused her best friend so much pain.
Stefan opened the car door for Rebekah.
"Why thank you Stefan and they say chivalry is dead." Rebekah said.
"Well, technically I am." Stefan smiling a charming smile as he took her hand within his and said,
"Shall we?"
"We shall."
"Will you two tone it down? I think I'm going to be sick."
"Oh, please Klaus, you love it. Isn't this what you wanted? The three of us on the road with me reunited with your sister so we could be a happy dysfunctional vampire family." Stefan said.
"I did want this. That doesn't mean every second has to be nauseating. The necklace should be close." Klaus said as he looked at his phone.
Stefan looked ahead and thought he was hallucinating when he saw Katherine and Bonnie sitting on a blanket surrounded by candles holding hands.
"What the?" Stefan asked.
"What is she doing here?" Rebekah asked outraged.
"Being a pain in my side, as always." Klaus said.
"Be ready. You remember Katherine dear sister; she'll do anything to survive."
"Oh, I remember!" Rebekah said with eyes filled with venom.
"Be careful of the witch she is a spirited one."
The wind blew harshly, the strong wind struck all around surrounding them.
"We must stop her!" Klaus yelled.
They sped to Bonnie.
While Bonnie was in the middle of chanting an incantation in Latin her eyes fluttered rapidly.
Then suddenly she was pulled out of her trance and knocked onto her feet. She saw Klaus, Stefan, and some girl there with their fangs out and their eyes all veiny ready to attack. Klaus' eyes were different then Stefan's and the girl's. His eyes were a glow in the dark yellow. His fangs were bigger and more apparent.
Bonnie raised her arms causing the wind to get fuller and harsher. The thunder roared.
"Cute trick." Klaus said.
"Now hand me over the necklace!"
"Over my dead body!" Bonnie yelled.
"That can be arranged!" Klaus yelled seething.
Bonnie continued to chant.
Klaus moved closer and fell backwards.
Then he howled at the moon as he got up off of the ground.
She focused her eyes tensely on him filled with such anger and concentrated passion. She used all of that energy to create a force field between her and Klaus. He used all of his power and strength to battle through the invisible force field. The energy between them was like the energy between two magnets as you try to force them apart.
Meanwhile, Katherine growled at Stefan and Rebekah and Rebekah did the same in kind. Stefan stood in front of Rebekah and said, "Katherine, get out of here!"
"Oh, wow, look at you Stefan. It wasn't that long ago when you were telling me how nothing would keep you from Elena. You moved on fast." Katherine said with a smirk.
"Get out of our way! I want my necklace back!" Rebekah snarled.
"I don't think so, pretty soon we'll contact the original witch and there's nothing you can do about it."
"Oh, there's plenty!" Rebekah yelled.
Rebekah was ready to pounce on Katherine when Stefan stood between them.
"Just stay out of our way. All we want is the necklace." Stefan said.
Katherine laughed, "Really we? You are one of them now?"
"I'm not going to warn you again! Katherine!" Stefan growled.
Katherine hissed. They attacked each other.
After what felt like forever trying to push his way through, Klaus finally penetrated Bonnie's force field. Bonnie did not show any sign of weakness or fear. She continued to chant. She held the necklace in her hand.
"Oh, Original Witch tell me how to kill Klaus."
Lightning struck right above Bonnie. Then the necklace began to glow. It burned Bonnie's hand taking her by surprise. She dropped the necklace. Rebekah saw this and immediately sped to it and caught it in her hand grasping it triumphantly.
Bonnie raised her hand trying to aneurism her.
"Sorry, sweet heart that won't work on her. Bonnie, meet my little sister Rebekah."
Rebekah took her necklace and put it on her neck.
"We got what we came for. Let's go Nikoklaus." Rebekah said.
Then Bonnie persisted raising her hands pulling power trying to at least weaken Rebekah.
Bonnie tried levitating the necklace towards her, causing it to pierce Rebekah's neck. Her neck immediately healed. Then Klaus sped in front of her. Then he put his hand in his brown rustic leather jacket.
"I have this stored for such occasions."
He took out a silver bracelet with ancient symbols on it. Bonnie ran away putting a circle of blazing fire around her. Klaus walked through the fire with ease. She put up her invisible force field again. This time Klaus walked through it, the bracelet seemed to suck up its energy.
She then caused lightning to strike him down.
"Fiesty!" Klaus said intrigued.
He grabbed her wrist as she struggled and slipped the bracelet on her wrist. She felt all of her magical energy flow through her body and travel to her wrist. She felt it suck her energy to the bracelet. The winds, the thundering's, lightening's, and fire ceased.
Bonnie tried with all of her might to pull it off; it was like it was attached to her.
Klaus smiled and said, "It comes in handy."
Bonnie proceeded to slap Klaus, he caught her hand in the midst of the motion.
Fury burned in her eyes, scorching.
"Very feisty, my dear. Give it up. I took away your power." Klaus said smoothly in matter of fact manner.
"I'll never give up! You'll have to…"
He knocked her out.
"Pitty." Klaus said.
Stefan and Katherine were still in the middle of a fierce battle. Katherine had Stefan pinned down. Rebekah then grabbed her with one swift move and threw her straight across the parking lot landing her body against a car, crashing into it, passing out.
"Come on darling. It is time to go."
She gave her hand to him helping him up.
"My hero." Stefan said to Rebekah.
Klaus gently laid Bonnie on top of the trunk of the car. He caressed her cheek and moved her dark wild curls from her face and said, "She's so peaceful. If only she could stay this way forever. Of course."
He moved her hair away from her neck ejecting his fangs he held her neck close to his teeth.
Then Stefan said, "Wait, we can use her."
"Believe me. I have worked with plenty of witches in the past. I know the type likely to join me. She is not the type."
"She might surprise you." Stefan said.
"She has done nothing but try to destroy me."
"Sure, she swore up and down that she was against vampires but she worked with Damon and me on a regular basis."
"Again, to try to kill me."
Stefan walked besides Klaus and said slickly, "Look at her, her beauty, her purity. You are right she is the least likely witch out there to join you. It is her mission to kill you. It would be extremely difficult to turn her."
"It would be a challenge." Klaus said caressing her neck with his thumb still looking at it thirstily.
Stefan continued, "I know how much you love a challenge. You thrive in a challenge. Remember the nuns? I betted that you could not get them to come to you without compulsion but you proved me wrong. Bonnie Bennett is a self-righteous witch with a moral compass so due north she gives me a head ache. If you turn her, you could turn anyone. She is an extremely powerful witch with a strong line of witch ancestors. If you could get her on your side the world could be yours."
"Truly? You think I could turn her." Klaus said looking touched at his friend's faith in him.
"If anyone has a chance it would be you." Stefan said.
Klaus' eyes brightened giddily and he slapped Stefan on the back and chuckled, "Challenge accepted my friend!"
