"I don't want to die Kol. I don't want to be on the other side with unfinished business." Bonnie looked terrified as she stared down at her body. Kol looked at her solemnly.
"Then let's do it together." He held his hand out for her and she was hesitant. She needed to help her friends, but she wanted to stay. "Let's find a way to stay here you and I. Together." He was trying to coax a yes out of her. He stared at her lips wishing he wasn't trying to convince her of living together. He shook it off and stared at her. "Bonnie." Hearing his voice saying her name. Something in her shuddered.
"I need the book below the school." He smiled as she lightly set her hand in his and gripped. "There may be a way for us to come back. Permanently." He pulled her in and hugged her quickly. When he went to release her he had his hands on her waist and he was staring in her eyes.
"Let's go love." He backed off and let her walk in front of him. She halted before they got back to the main floor. His eyes lingered over her body, but he looked up before she could catch him.
"One condition. Elena and Jeremy, they are off limits." Kol gave her an irritated look. "No more with them, Kol. I need you to back off." He smirked at her thinking of his own condition.
"I get that you are bringing me back love but I need something else once we are." She eyed him thinking it was sexual. He smirked and leaned in so his words were whispers into her ear. "It's not like that love, but it can be if you want it too." She felt a shiver go down her ghostly spine. He smirked and she just turned and huffed up the stairs. Kol watched her walk away and admired her figure. Ghost or not he wanted her. He would have her one day.
When they got to the lowest portion of the basement Kol admired how quickly she worked. Her hands over the book flipping through the pages melodiously. She was biting her lip and he couldn't help but being turned on at the fact she was going to bring him back and she would owe him one for helping kill him in the first place. She closed her eyes and started murmuring words chanting. He wasn't really paying attention until she gripped onto his wrist and her eyes opened wide looking into his. He felt pain go through him and he could tell she was in pain. He wanted to touch her face and compel her to feel better, but he couldn't move. Finally, they both looked down to their wrists and their veins were lit black against their skin. It began to disappear and they shot apart. Kol bounced back up and for the first time since he died felt his undead heart beating.
"What the hell was that love?" He turned around in a full circle looking for Bonnie. He saw her laying still against a rock. "Bonnie?" He moved to her swiftly and when she wasn't really responsive he heard her heart beating faintly. He bit into his wrist hard and put it against her mouth. He didn't understand why he needed this witch, but it probably had to do with the fact that she brought him back he couldn't just let her die.
When Bonnie began tasting the coppery liquid in her mouth she began coughing it up. He pulled her in tight. "Kol?" He hugged her and didn't realize he was close to breaking a rib. "You're hurting me." He loosened his grip.
"Love we were supposed to do this together. I thought you forgot and decided to turn back on me." She peaked up at him and felt something different this time when she looked into his eyes. Bonnie couldn't help but let a small smile appear. She shook it off and he stood up he held out his hands for her and she looked up into his eyes taking them. Bonnie couldn't figure out why she didn't hate him like she should.
"Kol? Something is different." He looked at her and he felt it too. He didn't want to admit it.
"What do you mean love?" She just felt weird. When they walked back to see her body it was gone. She figured she was just in it. She felt weak and was using him for support. She had no idea where her phone was and she couldn't just wing it like that trying to explain why she was with Kol.
"Something feels, different." He eyed her suspiciously, but he secretly liked it.
"Let's look through the book maybe something went wrong." When Bonnie went to grab the book she moved with vampire speed. Kol's eyes shot wide open.
"Bonnie. What was that?" She looked at him and could smell the blood on his arm. She moved quick and grabbed his arm. He saw her eyes change to red and the veins underneath went dark. She eyed it and he knew what happened. "I need you to take a deep breath and calm down."
"What?" She felt panic rise in her and a tear fell down her cheek.
"You are a vampire." She felt her stomach turn and she started shaking her head back and forth.
"No. No I can't be! I did a spell. Witches can't be vampires." He looked at her wanting to help her.
"Bonnie you have to stay calm."
"I didn't even go through a transition!"
"It had to be how we came back Bonnie. We will figure it out." She was trying to process what he was saying. "Love look at me!" Kol was worried that they just did something that would come back to haunt them.
"Kol." He looked at her as tears streamed down her face. "The veil. I have to close it." He nodded understanding something may take them, but he had faith in her that she would do anything to keep them alive. She began doing the spell and he noticed her veins again go black. He thought they were taking everything back. He felt panic rise. The room went white and the two of them were still there. Bonnie grabbed her necklace off and spelled it. Kol walked over to her and she turned and walked herself into his arms.
"Little witch are you okay?" She looked up at him and pulled back realizing all of this she went through with Kol. She walked ahead of him and he stayed close following her out. When she got outside it was dark. Caroline and Klaus were standing near the podium talking.
"He is your first love, but I intend to be your last." Kol smiled as he and Bonnie walked up to the duo.
"My brother, the romantic, who would have thought?" Klaus' smile appeared to be glowing.
"Caroline." She could sense something was off.
"What are you doing with Kol?" Caroline wanted to figure it out.
"I brought him back Caroline." The duo's eyes went wide and when Caroline went to pull her aside Bonnie panicked. Her eyes got red and veins appeared. Then she used her powers to push her back. Klaus got defensive and stood in front of her. "Stay away from him Caroline. We have a deal." Caroline and Klaus were in awe.
"Darling how are you a vampire and a witch?" Klaus' interest peaked.
"We don't know brother. We are figuring that out." Caroline's look of disgust grew.
"WE?" She was furious.
"Caroline. Love we should get you out of here before other hybrids set on revenge appear." Bonnie stepped forward. Klaus was trying to prevent Caroline from getting hurt. Bonnie was something new to them. All of them.
"The veil is closed Klaus." Kol smirked at Caroline when he realized Bonnie was about an inch away from being flush against him with only clothes in between. "Kol stop smirking." He bit his lip but couldn't hold back.
"Nik we will meet you at the house." He nodded and dragged Caroline away. After they made their way across the football field Kol stopped and grabbed Bonnie's hand. She felt electricity flow through her and as it hit him he stood paralyzed in front of her. She pulled back when she realized she was hurting him. He shook it off and looked at her. He put his hands on her cheeks and she felt a small spark. "I'm fine. You didn't hurt me love. See?" She held her head not quite understanding why she had a headache. It had to be the magic. Kol moved around and he moved his hand to the back of her neck massaging lightly as they walked.
The mansion was lit up inside. Bonnie decided not to make any comments about how overly flashy the home was. She walked in silently and didn't notice that Kol was holding her hand. She followed him into the parlor and he poured her some of the best scotch in the house. Bonnie felt on edge and was waiting for the cavalry to arrive and try to talk her into going to the boarding house. She sat on the couch and stared into the fire burning. Kol was mesmerized by the look on her face. He looked at the decanter the siblings have and poured her a glass of blood.
"I don't want that." He looked Bonnie over and knew she would choose to die herself before feeding.
"You need your strength love. It is from blood bags. No one died for this." She peaked up at him and grabbed both glasses he held out to her. The liquid went down smoothly coating every inch of her mouth. The coopery taste was gone and something else appeared in its place as Bonnie gulped down the alcohol. She let out a disgusted sound and Kol let out a chuckle at her facial expression.
"Why did you bring me back here?" Kol refilled her glass and filled his own with liquor.
"We have never in a thousand years come across a vampire and a witch wrapped into one. You are unique and the second it happened we can guarantee witches all over the world felt something change. You are under our protection now." Bonnie was worried about everyone looking for her now. She had to wonder if this was how Elena felt all the time.
"What if I don't need your protection?" Kol smiled and sat down next to her following her eyes to look into the fire.
"If you are a witch and a vampire that makes you an original hybrid of your own nature Bonnie." She took another swig and her nose crinkled up as she made another face. "Plus, you brought me back so I will help you with this." She turned to look into his eyes.
"So you still had something you wanted me to do when we were dead. What was it?" He shook his head.
"Doesn't matter right now. Apparently you and I have an eternity to work together." She felt uneasy about an eternity working with Kol, but he made her feel more ease than Klaus had.
"I didn't want this Kol. I think it's their way of punishing me for bringing back an original." He looked at her feeling a tiny shred of guilt work through him. He didn't understand the magic. "I probably kept the magic because it wasn't witchcraft anymore. It was expression." The name of the magics she had been doing caught his attention. "I haven't used regular witchcraft in so long. I let myself fall into the darkness." He smiled at her thinking of his beautiful witch as dark was something he couldn't do yet.
"If your punishment is an eternity with me, is that really a punishment? Or is it a gift?" He chuckled and Bonnie couldn't help but giggle. She felt everything so strongly.
"I brought Jeremy back too." His eyes went wide. "I brought all three of us back and now I have to suffer the consequences." She felt tears roll down her face Jeremy wouldn't love her like this. She didn't love herself like this. Kol seemed to, but she didn't love him like Jeremy.
"We will figure it out darling. We have all the time in the world now." Kol was being optimistic. The creature before him was anything but weak. She was enchanting and new to him in so many ways. He had to have her. He was captivated by her as a witch, and now being both she was even more enticing.
"Do we? How do we know I don't have an expiration date?" He leaned in and brushed a loose strand of hair from her face.
"You hated vampires. This being one is the punishment. With the witchcraft that somehow carried over you are essentially indestructible like us." She felt a little relief when he talked. He could tell she was tired all of the magic she had done was taking its toll on her. "Why don't you try to sleep some love? I will wake you when Nik gets here." She leaned back on the couch and noticed Kol shifted closer. She was too tired to move away.
"I'm not tired." He raised an eyebrow at her letting her know he could spot her lie. After sitting in silence she fell asleep. He watched her and eventually turned his gaze to the fire. He felt her weight shift and she was leaning against his arm. He lifted his arm and wrapped it around her so she was laying on his chest.
The door slammed open and Bonnie jumped awake. She looked around and realized she was asleep against Kol. She stood up and brushed off her dress. Klaus walked in and she shifted. Kol stood up behind her and put his hands on both of her arms. He brushed them lightly up and down. "It is fine. Just Nik."
"Infuriating woman!" Kol let out a light chuckle and Bonnie giggled knowing he was talking about Caroline. "Something you two find amusing?" They both bit back another laugh. "So we have a new original creature. A vampire witch hybrid." He moved over and lifted his hand to touch her face. She went to back up and wound up against Kol's chest.
"Nik. Don't make her mad. Trust me." Klaus put both hands up in the air and let them fall back down. She didn't move away from Kol while Klaus stood in front of her. "It's fine. He is just trying to look into your eyes and see what's different." She looked over her shoulder at him and she nodded. Looking back into Klaus' eyes she felt Kol's hands on her waist. She felt like he was touching every nerve on her body. She broke her gaze from Klaus and leaned back against Kol. She moved her hands down onto his and she gripped them hard. When she opened her eyes back up Klaus was staring at her.
"She is enchanting Kol. She seems taken with you." Bonnie broke her gaze and looked back at the fire.
"Bonnie leave it. Nik is just trying to figure out why they did this." She moved away from both of them.
"Punishment. They punished me." She dropped down balancing while trying to add more wood to the fire. She felt it tinge her skin, but she pulled back slowly. The men watched her in awe as she healed up and stood as if nothing happened. "I can't go home, I can't go to Caroline's, and I won't go to the boarding house." Kol smiled widely.
"You will stay with me. Nik was leaving I do believe, so it will be just us." She nodded looking down at the ground.
"I think I will stick around make sure no one comes looking for a while." They both bore irritated gazes down on him.
"I want to leave Kol. If we stay here they will come for me and you. They won't stop unless we aren't here when they come." Both men shifted to look at her.
"Leaving it is. I'm going to grab my things. Will you be okay with Nik?" She nodded.
"One hybrid to another he won't ever leave your side now." She shrugged and turned. "You really don't mind do you?" Bonnie threw him a look of pure irritation. "Well, well, well. This is a turn in events." She flew over to Klaus and wrapped her hands around his neck. She applied as much pressure as possible.
"Do not test me Klaus." He smiled and nodded. His hands went up and she let him go. "I just don't want them asking questions, and the best chance I have of figuring this out is by staying with the most powerful vampires to stay alive." Klaus moved close to her giving her a concerned look.
"From what you just displayed Bonnie you are an original in your own right. No one can stop you from doing anything. The magic you can use alone makes you something to fear. Not me or my brother, but everyone else should fear." She smirked feeling a sense of power she hadn't before. He liked that look on her.
"We ready to go?" Kol looked at them staring at each other. "Did I miss something good?"
"No." They answered in unison and Kol raised a brow. He moved next to Bonnie and showed her out the door.
"I have no clothes or anything." Kol laughed at her and showed her into the car.
"We don't have to worry about that anymore. We will shop when we get to wherever Nik is taking us." She smiled at the idea of a whole new wardrobe. "So we need to talk for a bit Bonnie." She nodded at him not taking her gaze off the road. "I need your help with a few things and since we made that semi-deal before we came back are you still going to follow through?"
"Kol. It's not like I am going to just leave you here. I said we would do this together. I don't go back on my word." Klaus chuckled and she shifted her gaze. He bit back the noise remembering Kol's warning. "I will help you since you are helping me." He nodded.
