I do not own any characters or plots/stories from the Vampire Dairies-not getting paid to make this either
I do follow some pieces of cannon in this story, it also my first.
If my formatting and flow is horrid and the first part doesn't make sense, please excuse me and I'm sorry.
Bonnie wants to start a new life of her own and on her own terms, she'll have to give up those she loves. But she'll gain another in the process...
It's been five months since Elena had been turned. And she was already feeling the angst of not being a human teen anymore. She was mopey and kind of hard to be around sometime. The stage was wearing on everyone. It's been five months Elena get over it! Damon would think agitated especially after she chose Stefan over him like he'd expected she would.
Although he was grateful she wasn't dead, dead, he was a bit of a bummer to be around since then too. Alaric was gone and as were Klaus, so everyone thought, Klaus' body wasn't really harmed and Tyler wasn't dead either. What was done was a spell that temporarily shield both Tyler and Klaus bodies from any harm that would come to them, she did the same spell that was used for Klaus by putting his essence in a different body; it enabled for Klaus to seem like he was killed when stabbed by Alaric.
Tyler's essence hung in balance as it switched them back to their bodies making it true that he, Klaus, was 'killed' but still alive. But that was months ago when this occurred, and many things had happened since...
Chapter 1: Don't mess with the messenger
Bonnie had ducked out of Mystic Falls a few months after helping Klaus and then making sure Elena and company were alright. She was busy learning new and powerful spells for her own security, and living a peaceful solo life while keeping in tune with whatever info she could hear from the Falls. Last she'd heard Elena was struggling with transitioning, "She's strong, she can make it...I hope." Bonnie thought spreading out a sheet on the floor of an empty house.
The house was old and creaky. At night it would give her the creeps as sounds would bounce around and echo throughout the hollowed abode. All she had was a duffel bag of a few clothes, some different types of shoes and a few toiletries. Most mornings she'd get up and make her way to the nearest diner, grab a bite and go to a library, she had exchanged schools and was doing well there.
She couldn't wait to graduate at least if all these supernatural happenings were going to keep going on, she would like to be free from high school to fully deal with it. As she left the library it had seemed as if someone was following her, it didn't help that she didn't know anyone in this town or made friends with any peers at school yet, so if someone was following it wasn't anyone here in Jamesville.
Like all small-towns including Mystic Falls, Jamesville was a quiet, mostly friendly, and peaceful town; with no vampires or wolves insight. It was five miles from Mystic and a wee more populated, here it was very diverse and young mostly eighteen and older. There were all types of people in Jamesville: Indian, Latin, Black, Asian, Native American,White, and so on. The food was delicious at almost every corner you turned, and bookstores were rampant like a Starbucks would be.
Sick of the discomfort with feeling tailed Bonnie stopped and turned around to meet who ever this was, "I'm stopping now so you can too!" she yelled as she turned slowly around. Disgust made her stomach churn,"Why so far away from home witch?" a female voice responded walking towards Bonnie.
"Rebekah? What the hell are you doing here?" spat Bonnie folding her arms kicking a heel to the side, "I dunno...just thought I'd find a second place for me and my brothers to have as a stake out," switching closer to Bonnie stopping a mere foot from her, "Oh no, you can find your own town to screw over some place else, not here too!" Bonnie stern voiced, "And, why are you here..alone?" she smugly grinned, "No reason of yours to know," Bonnie snapped back. She was ready to turn and leave when Rebekah got in front of her, "Not even concerned for your friends?" she said in a mocking child voice, "Ya know that actually fits you, seeing how you act like a petulant child even though you're a thousand!" she laughed and walked off leaving Rebekah fuming.
"What a bitch..." Bonnie thought smirking to herself and finding her car. Now that she knew who was in town she'd have to make sure no one knew where she was, and getting home before night fall would be good so she could do a cloaking spell. The abandoned house she stayed in wasn't too far from the common areas, so it made for a quick drive home. With a few spells she learned from paper sticking out an Atlas, she tidied it and filled it with various furniture and decor. She went for a traditional modern look and cast electricity spells, but after that it was time to try the cloak one she learned a month back. And not having any voices or others to get in her way and stop her from doing something for herself for once, this was a new feeling to have; hell she almost felt selfish.
She mumbled a few words and everything moved around the room levitating. She stopped and opened her eyes, "I hope it worked." and walked outside. She was met by only a bright moon that washed across her face.
"Yes.." she whispered happily and looked around. No one was stalking, no Rebekah, and no problems now if only she had new clothes. The night seemed to drag along all she could really do was laze around the house , try to read, or watch television but all of that was mundane,"What the hell is wrong with me? I wanted a normal peaceful life, free from drama and death. I should be more happy!" thinking out loud and hopping up, she went upstairs and brought down an iPod speaker dock and started blasting some tunes, at 2 a.m she stopped and watched TV.
The next morning she woke up hanging mostly off the couch and TV still on. Back in Mystic Falls, Elena started coming into being a vamp gradually. Even though Damon said he'd stay away he came over every three days and crashed, Elena welcomed it but what she really wanted to do was, is what they did; walk outside during the day.
"We need to find a day ring for her," said Stefan, "Nope! We need to find miss self righteous...Bonnie," corrected Damon sipping from a glass of O negative. Stefan shook his head and pulled him to the kitchen, "But no one, not Jeremy or Caroline, has seen her. Not even her mom," Stefan added, "Let's just look for her, we gotta get Elena a ring." walking back out into the living-room.
Timothy Hill High let out and Bonnie was drained, she stayed up too late for own good last night. She thought it unsafe to drive home sleepy so instead she decided to walk, she passed the Greenhat bookstore, passed the Marvelous Magic shop, and passed over a cute red foot bridge. The weather that afternoon was chilly making her clutch her books close and roll her fingers up in her jacket cuffs, the wind picked up and slapped her hair around hitting her in the face.
She was close to arriving home when she noticed a car pulled up to her house. She paused and started walking turtle slow looking, and soon as she approached close enough to get a better look to see anyone. She stopped again, "Who's car is that..." she mumbled. And suddenly there Elijah was strolling back to a car, Bonnie, as quickly as a vamp could move turned on her heel away from that direction and walked swiftly away as if he'd seen her. She kept power walking until her calfs burned, she had walked all the way back to the school not sleepy anymore but halted, "What the...?" brows furrowed looking around at the completely empty parking lot.
"I HOPE to God it's been towed." she squealed looking in every direction. Bonnie ran around the corner to small café shop and into the bathroom, she had get into somewhere and not stay out in the open. She left Mystic Falls to start anew, no good byes and no crying, she didn't flee because she helped Klaus she knew she did that for everyone. But she left for her, now here Elijah was sniffing around her house, thankfully she did get to hide it. She was sure Rebekah, the thousand year old child blabbed and told him she was here, but how did he get to this area? Her home.
"Did you find her?" a voice sitting in the backseat asked, "No, I'm not sure why this vacant area is of any significance to you brother?" a hand grabbed the seat shoulder of the driver chair, "How can you not feel the energy flowing from this space?" they asked back, "She has to be here if Rebekah saw her," Elijah looked back, "Then we'll find ourselves a home here, until we find her Klaus," turning his head back forward and starting the car, "It's all I ask." and the black car pulled away from the house.
"Maybe I should check on the other house," she thought still in the women's bathroom, "Hard day?" came a voice entering. Bonnie looked and smiled, "Yeah, my car is gone," the girl walked up looking sorry, "That sucks. Where was it parked?" waving her hands at the faucet sensor for the water, "In the school parking lot," the girl's faucet finally streamed on, "Oh then you're fine!" Bonnie brought her head up fully, "Really? How!" getting excited, "They do that to everyone who leaves their car maybe on accident or whatever reason, but they only tow it to a nearby side street where it's legal for overnight." Bonnie hugged the perky amber haired teen.
"Thank You so much...uhh.." the girl blushed, "Sorry, my name is Dina Anderson, freshmen and comic-book nerd!" reaching out to shake Bonnie's hand, "And I'm Bonnie Bennett, senior. But thanks again I gotta get my car," walking to the door, "You're welcome Bonnie no prob, hey see you around school sometimes?" Bonnie grinned, "Sure see ya!" Bonnie waved and power walked out of the café, hoping no one thought she was doing something disgusting for being in so long.
She found her car on the street across the school, "Oh thank you God..." she whispered keying the ignition. She didn't drive home, she drove going the direction of Mystic Falls. Not fast or slow but steadily. *Sigh* she clutched the steering wheel tight, "Should I do this, should I do this, should I do this?" she repeated to herself continuously for ten minutes when a car flew pass her frantically, "That looked li-was that Damon?" she shuddered picking up speed now. How and why was everyone she didn't want looking for her, looking for her? How could Damon of all 'people' hear of her whereabouts? None of them had seen the Originals since the incident so what's up? If all this meant anything it meant they wanted something, and like always it was her that had to get them what they needed.
Bonnie pulled her car over short of entering Mystic Falls. She lied her forehead on the wheel and took some deep breaths, "They can't look there, they have to come back here." she said raising her head back up and pulled on to the road again, "I'm back everyone. You can stop looking now." she huffed and drove in. She drove all the way to the Salvatore boarding house, before knocking on the door she hesitated straightening her clothes out.
'KNOCK KMOCK KNOCK!' sound from the other side of the door. Elena flew up with Stefan speeding down the stairs, he flung the door open, "Bonnie?" Stefan softly as he leaned on the frame of the door.
