Chapter 1 : A Trip To The Dark Side
" Damon I'm gonna be fine...don't need you to smother me" Bonnie said over the phone packing a few pieces of her clothes
"I know I know...but Klaus in the same town as you..yeah not really a fan of" Damon said pouring himself a glass of Bourbon
" I'll stay out of Klaus' way..I'm just going to keep Sophie's company she really needs my emotional support" Bonnie said releasing her breath
"Are you sure you don't need me to drive you?"He asked
"Damon! No I'll be fine...just don't tell Caroline or Elena they'll get worried...okay...I love bye" Bonnie said hanging up
Bonnie Bennett had recently found her way back to reality thanks to Damon . The two spent more together after Elena left for college and broke his heart again for "new" Stefan . But now Bonnie was asked by her closest friend Sophie Devereaux to come to New Orleans for help .
Bonnie packed her bags and dumped it at the back of her car , she vowed not to tell Elena and Caroline , who were basically busy at college and their college boyfriends . Even though Bonnie wanted to drag Damon ass along with her, she felt it would be too dangerous ,especially knowing the fact that Klaus was the newly residence in the French Quarter . Bonnie drove the highway to the sounds of Lana Del Rey in her car to the highest volume , she hummed to the tune , her dark hair flew against her cheek . Bonnie had strange dreams about Sophie's fate recently...and after Sophie's frantic call ,she thought it was best to go to the Quarter herself to help her fellow witch friend .
Upon Bonnie's arrival in the French Quarter , she couldn't help but sense the smell of paint from the street artists , mixtures of Hennessey and Bourbon that made the men on the street intoxicated , a few herbs that maybe be boiling in the downtown Voodoo shop . Bonnie remembered the exact location of the Devereaux Sisters place , she found her parking spot and headed to the entrance of the bar which was filled to the point it was hard Bonnie to see the bar counter .
"Of course its happy hour obviously it would be crowed" Bonnie mumbled to herself saracastically
She pushed her way through the crowd of numb dancing couple , who nothing to do but grind and drink the night away . She felt a pair of eyes lingering on her , she turned around but no was there , everyone was too busy indulged in their own activities . She managed to forced to the bar counter and catch her breath
"Hard night?" A bubbly blonde asked pouring the other guy a drink and looking at her
" You have no idea...Camille" Bonnie said looking at her name tag and smiled at her
"I prefer Cami...can I get you something?" Camille asked
"Yeah I'm looking for Sophie...Sophie Devereaux , she's expecting me" Bonnie said
"Oh she's at the back ..in the room on the right" Camille said pointing to a dark corner
"Thank you so much" Bonnie said smiling and walking to the dark corner
Bonnie approached the dark door , and opened , she observed Sophie mixing something in a huge pot and humming that new Valerie June tune . Sophie was a sucker for Jazz
"Somebody called a witch" Bonnie said leaning on the doorway
Sophie spun around with smiles and screams of Bonnie's name followed by bone crushing hugs
"Oh my god look at you...your grown up ..college girl...wow! Abby would be so proud of you" Sophie said smiling at the green-eyed witch
Bonnie give an uneasy smile when she mentioned her mother Abby , she wasn't the best mother in the coven
"I guess...I see you own your own restaurant-bar thingy, I don't know how you do it.. Devereaux ...being a witch , bar girl" Bonnie said laughing
"Well hey I try ...and now that Jane-Anne is gone ..Cami is a real help" Sophie said taking a seat
Bonnie closed the door and took a seat next to her
"So where that stunning Damon? Thought he was gonna tag along with you" Sophie asked
"I told him I can handle myself...but knowing Damon he'll get bored and come " Bonnie said laughing
"Well I'm glad your here ...I need you" Sophie said moving towards the window
"Sounds like I'm here for more than just emotional support" Bonnie said crossing her legs
" Bonnie I need you to stay here a bit more than 2 weeks..." Sophie announced
"I don't get where you coming at?" Bonnie asked raising her eyebrow
"Look Jane-Anne is gone , Cami is my only help around here...I may need to help around the bar ,and help with getting my magic back" Sophie explained
" Whoa!? Wait? You want me to leave behind my 2month boyfriend , friends and move to this town become a bar girl and find some way around Marcel's courtyard to help you get your magic back?" Bonnie yelled
"Look I know I'm asking for too much ..but you're a Bennett Witch...vampires would respect you...you can stay at my place..work here ..and get to know everyone" Sophie said
"What about marcel's rules about magic?" Bonnie asked sighing
"That's why you my good friend need to get closer to Marcel...so those rules can be broken" Sophie whispered with smiles
"What about Damon ? What would he think?" Bonnie yelled
"As long as you stall him , and not tell him everything would be fine," Sophie reassured her
Bonnie took a few seconds to internalize everything
She shook her head in agreement with the plan
"So when do I start the job?" Bonnie asked with a smirk
Klaus sat at the bar counter with his fellow frenemy Marcel . Camille pour both the diabolical men a drink , she gave a plain smile and walked away . For the past weeks Klaus has been trying to figure out a way to get his town back from the man who claims he's King , Marcel has a powerful weapon ; Davina Claire ; a 16 year old witch who has no experience of controlling her own magic , Marcel has been restraining the witches from their powers .
Klaus was in the middle of making a deal with Marcel with getting his brother back in exchange for saving one of his men lives
"Alright I'll save your minion but I ask for you to return my brother's body..." Klaus insisted
"Oh what a backstabber Elijah going to think of you..." Marcel said smirking and sipping his drink
Klaus give a diabolical laughter
"Bring my brother's body to my house or else.."Klaus said
"Or else what .? You'll kill me? Take my witch..or ..."Marcel yelled with a pause at an image behind Klaus
Bonnie had grabbed a tray and began serving drinks to the drunkards , in her black mini skirt and tank top , her hair was in a pony tail and her hair bangs were roughly rest on her forehead , she gave a rough smile to one of the men . But Marcel couldn't keep his eyes off her for one minute , he forgot the fact Klaus was still in his company
"Cat's got your tongue , mate" Klaus said
"Who is that over there? Never seen her before" Marcel said biting his lips
Bonnie approached them trying to wear a fake smile
"Well hello there can I get you guys anything to drink?" She asked
Klaus remained frozen at the sight of Bonnie . He was in Utter shock she's in New Orleans . But just as he suspected he knew Sophie had a plan and somehow Bonnie was involved , he sat mummed about the fact he knows Bonnie
"Hello there Miss...Bonnie..." Marcel smiled reading her name tag" my friend and I over here would like a bottle of Whiskey your finest on the shelf" he continued
Klaus smirked as his eyes shift between Marcel and her
"I'll see what I can do" Bonnie said with a wink
Bonnie walked away slowly and seductively
"Now that right there is a keeper, definitely new in town.. Salem witch I could smell the magic running through her blood" Marcel said with a smirk
"She's probably a friend of Sophie's"Klaus said smiling
"Well she maybe cute but I hope Miss Devereaux gave her a manual of the town rules ..about magic" Marcel said
Bonnie brought the bottle of the finest Whiskey , straight from the new stock of Sophie's liquor
"Here you go boys ...Whiskey ..my personal selection for you both" Bonnie said opening the bottle and pouring it slowly
Marcel gazed at her body and the way her hair flew in her face .
"Well enjoy your night" Bonnie said smiling
"Wait? Why don't you join us?" Marcel suggested
"Uh ...my first night on the job ,I can't ...thanks for the offer though...goodnight" Bonnie said walking away towards the kitchen
"She's perfect...and interesting...might have one of my men keep and eye on her...speaking of one of my men...our deal..you save him with you fancy blood and I'll give you back James Bond" Marcel said sheepishly
Klaus placed his 100 dollar bill on the counter , smiled and nod at Marcel before walking through the exit
Bonnie needed fresh air , after what Sophie came up with , she needed to tell Damon , but she didn't know how , she hugged herself in the cold atmosphere , the wind blew her hair against her shivering cheeks
" Miss Bennett its a surprise to see you in this town" Klaus said from behind
"I knew you were going to follow me back here" Bonnie said with a fake smile
" Marcel already finds you interesting ...but I know Devereaux witch has something to do with you being here" he said
" She's a friend that needs my help I'm just helping and staying out of your way" Bonnie said walking along the sidewalk
" Miss Devereaux failed to tell you she's on the same team as I" he said
Bonnie froze and turned around
"What?" Bonnie said coldly
"You distract Marcel...I get my town back...the snobby witches get to use their magic again" he said clasping his hands to his lips
"Since when you do favors for witches? Guess fatherhood is making you sensitive" Bonnie said
"Watch your tongue witch your in another town..." Klaus said
"What ? Do you think I'll obey his rules?...I'll burn him to pieces just like I did to you" Bonnie said walking closely to him
"Well then...miss Bennett ..bargirl ...witch...Welcome to New Orleans" Klaus said smirking
" Tell Hayley I said Hi" Bonnie said walking away
