Balance Of Nature Chapter 1
Bonnie Bennett shivered in the chilly; February weather standing next to her was Kol Mikaelson, the original vampire and also believe it or not the protector of the witches including her.
Bonnie had saved Kol's life after Elena and Jeremy had tried and failed to kill him with ugly results that ended up with Jeremy permanently missing two fingers on his right hand and half of his face being mauled by Kol in retaliation for Jeremy calling Bonnie a traitor, needless to say Bonnie had set his ass on fire.
She was no longer their lapdog or servant; she was a Bennett witch descendant of Ayanna and Emily Bennett and the granddaughter of Shelia Bennett.
She smiled faintly.
Pulling up to the Mikaelson Mansion, Bonnie turned off the engine to her car and looked in her rear-view mirror. Matt and Caroline were knocked out in her backseat. Sighing to herself, Bonnie didn't want things to come down to this, but in order to restore a balance in Mystic Falls she needed her closest friends to team up with her and their unlikely allies.
Levitating their bodies, Bonnie used her free hand to open the front doors and gently place the sleeping forms on an empty couch in the drawing room. "I'm here." Bonnie shouted, reclining next to her friends.
Within seconds, the Mikaelsons flashed into the room. Kol sat near Bonnie, while his siblings were spaced out around the room, eyeing Caroline and Matt, who were beginning to stir.
"So Bonnie, care to tell us what's going on?" Klaus said, gazing over at Caroline, snuggling closer towards Matt.
"I've severed my ties with the Gilberts and Salvatores."
Elijah's eyebrow quirked up and his interest heightened as well. "Well let me be the first to congratulate you."
"Calm down Elijah," Rebekah quipped. "Does this mean you'll be joining our side?"
"Now, now Rebekah," Kol grinned. "Bonnie and her friends over there needs to be filled in something-"
"What the hell," Caroline muttered, peering around the room. "What is going on?"
"Caroline," Bonnie started, walking over to her best friend. "I know this all seems crazy right now, but please trust me. The Mikaelsons are our allies and are going to help us stop Elena and the Salvatores."
"But Elena-"
"Has done nothing but hurt the ones we love and are trying to protect. If she raises Silas, it's game over for everyone, including ourselves."
"She's right," Matt coughed out. "Elena isn't who she used to be. I saw her behind The Grill the other draining a buddy of mine from the football team. I told Bonnie and next thing I know, I'm here with you."
Giving Caroline a weak smile, Bonnie held her friend's hand. "Please just listen to what Kol has to say before you make a decision?"
Giving Kol a once over, Caroline finally nodded and gave him her attention.
"Silas, is our worst nightmare," Kol started, jaw ticking at the memories of Silas's cult rambling off to him about Silas's return. "He's the most powerful warlock in all of history and the most menacing of them all. He will bring an end to everything we know and love. Silas will bring hell to earth and we must stop Elena from doing that."
"What about the cure?" Caroline asked.
"Silas was trying to live forever with the woman he loved," Kol looked over at Bonnie; a soft smile adorned his face. "He asked a friend of his, a powerful witch named Qetsiyah, to help him create an immortality spell. But, when she discovered she wasn't the one he loved, she killed his lover and trapped him somewhere with the cure to immortality."
"So if we find him, years of anger and rage will be brought upon earth?" Matt asked Kol.
"Yes and that is why we must stop Elena."
"I'm in." Matt said, surprising Caroline.
"Matt-"
"Care, I can't lose everything again. I've lost Vicky and my mom to the Salvatores. I don't want to lose my life to a deranged Elena."
"Caroline, you heard what Kol said. She needs to be taken down a few pegs." Bonnie pleaded.
Before Caroline could try to defend Elena again, the front door burst open. "Sorry I'm late." Elena shouted, flashing into the drawing room. "Damon can be so needy."
"What do we have here?" Damon smiled, fangs descending. "A, group meeting with the Mikaelson family?"
Rebekah stood near Matt, making sure nobody comes near him and harm him. Elijah stood still and kept his cool, masking his anger at the sudden rudeness of Elena and the Salvatores. Kol and Klaus eyed down the intruders and waited for them to try to attack them within their own home. This was going to be a long night.
Standing up, Bonnie shot Damon and Elena a strong aneurysm. "You're not welcome here!" Bonnie shouted. "Get out!"
Hissing at Bonnie, Elena started maniacally laughing on the floor. "Oh, shove it Bonnie. You think you run everything, but you don't. Stefan!"
Stefan flashed into the mansion, grabbing Bonnie by the hair and pulling her towards Damon and Elena.
As soon as Stefan's hands touched Bonnie's skin a burning sensation ran through him, making him cry out in pain, Bonnie took advantage of that and gave him a painful aneurysm causing him to crumple onto the carpet.
Before any of them knew what was happening, the lights went out along with the candles and they could hear voices shouting at Elena in anger.
"Murderer"
"Blood traitor"
"Thief"
"Liar"
As the voices spoke black smoke billowed around Elena until it shaped into a feminine figure and once the smoke went away it revealed a very beautiful young woman.
She was Caroline's height and had ivory coloured skin that Caroline would kill for, dark red curls and held a flaming sword in her right hand that glowed. Her eyes were a dark grey that was haunting.
Out of the corner of Kol's eye, he could see Jeremy Gilbert tremble slightly as he looked at the woman in front of them.
"What are you?" Elena asked bored.
The young woman let out a piercing roar that made Elena, Jeremy, Damon and Stefan fall onto the floor clutching their ears, none of the originals seemed phased.
"I am the Bennett Witch reaper, Elena Gilbert" she answered coldly.
"Elena Gilbert" the voices whispered eerily.
"Why are you here, we haven't done anything" Jeremy said harshly, the left side of his face was horrifically disfigured; two of his fingers were missing on his left hand. Everyone was shocked be his disfigured features, except Bonnie and Kol.
"Your souls are dammed in the eyes of the witches, for the crimes of unbalancing nature and murdering an original and his soul mate and attempting to kill another original, killing the Bennett line and the murder of Lucy Anne Bennett" she said harshly.
"WHAT, NO YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!" Elena screamed horrified and the woman smiled cruelly at her.
"You have caused so much pain to your friends Elena all because of your selfishness, you caused your parents to die, your aunt, Caroline Evangeline Forbes and countless innocents." She said calmly.
Damon glared at her "I know you" he said quietly.
A sad expression crossed the young woman's face, "I was your wife, if you remember" she said sadly.
Damon blinked sure he was dreaming, "Maria?" he said quietly.
"Indeed, Husband" she said quietly.
Bonnie was stunned, Damon had been married.
"Little sister?" Kol rasped his heart constricting.
"Hello big brother" Maria said and Bonnie could see tears forming in all the Mikaelson siblings' eyes.
"You're alive; we thought you were dead when Mikael killed the whole village" Rebekah sobbed hugging Maria.
Bonnie, Matt and Caroline smiled while Damon from where he was pinned onto the floor smiled sadly.
Elena, Stefan and Jeremy looked furious and upset, while Stefan looked worried.
Maria glared at Elena with contempt on her beautiful face, "You Elena Delaney Gilbert have caused nothing but grief, sorrow and destruction for the town of Mystic Falls and its inhabitants, if you do not stop pursuing the cure, you kill everyone" She warned.
"But I never wanted to be a vampire; this is all Rebekah's fault" Elena whined, the woman was getting on Kol's nerves.
Maria looked at Kol knowingly and the siblings smirked "Sister, I don't think she gets the grasp of the situation". He said with a dark grin.
Kol moved from Bonnie's side and with a flash of lightning black wings appeared on the two siblings shoulders and Kol had a flaming sword in his right hand.
He glanced at Jeremy with a cold, menacing expression on his handsome face "Say hello to Mikael for me and my siblings, Gilbert boy" he said with a wicked smirk.
Maria grinned flashing her sharp, pointed fangs at the young boy "And hello to Giuseppe Salvatore from me and Damon, the man did kill my husband after all" she said with a smile.
Jeremy laughed then "You can't kill me, I'm a hunter when I die another one rises" he said madly.
Kol smirked "Not anymore Jeremy, you are the last hunter and as a result when you die, you are going to meet your victims who you wrongly killed". He said darkly.
Jeremy shook his head again and started to sob hysterically as Kol raised his flaming sword.
"Your soul is bound for Hell" he said coldly.
Jeremy began to scream and cry as Kol swung his sword.
Once the sword struck Jeremy, he ignited into flames. A strong gust of wind rushed through the room, pushing everyone back from Jeremy. The souls of those he wrongly killed crawled from the depths of the fires below, grasping towards Jeremy, groaning and gnashing their teeth at the hunter. Jeremy was frightened and stunned by what was happening to him. The touch of the souls singed his skin, leaving scorched marks upon his body.
"No," Jeremy gurgled, coughing up blood, pleading with Kol. "Not me! Elena made me do it." Reaching for a nearby rug, Jeremy held on for dear life, as the souls pulled him to the fiery pits below.
Then a blood curdling scream was the last thing everyone heard from Jeremy before the floor closed up.
Elena starts screaming and throwing a fit across the spot Jeremy was pulled under. "Jeremy!" She screamed, as if at any moment he'd come back. "Jeremy!"
Everyone watched, stunned, at everything that just transpired and the slew of curses Elena was spewing at everyone.
"It had to be done." Maria gently said, her tone, slightly haunting. "But don't fret, you'll be with him soon." Throwing back her sword, Maria held her gaze with the deranged Elena Gilbert. "Holy shit" Bonnie said stunned staring at the floor where Jeremy had been dragged into.
Almost instantly Kol and Maria's swords vanished and their faces were now calm and collected, Maria walked over to where Damon was still pinned to the floor with a click of her hand Bonnie released Damon but not Stefan and Elena.
"I'm going to hell aren't I?" Damon said bluntly.
Maria smiled softly "No you aren't going to hell, the witches have forgiven you but I warn you now Damon, if you still follow Elena, we are finished" she warned her husband sternly.
Damon had accepted a long time ago that Elena would never love him, hell Bonnie had told him enough times.
He looked at Bonnie with sad arctic blue eyes "I'm sorry Bonnie" he said quietly.
Bonnie nodded "Just give me time, Damon" she said and Kol squeezed her hand.
Damon nodded "I can do that witchy" he said and let Maria help him stand.
"I'LL KILL YOU, YOU FUCKING WHORE!" Elena screamed and lunged towards Maria, the white oak stake in hand as she charged towards Maria.
Caroline charged towards Elena and with impressive strength, threw her across the room where she dropped the stake.
"I'll take that, thank you Miss Whore" Rebekah said smugly and before she could stop herself, she slammed a wooden stake into Elena's right shoulder, causing her to scream.
"That was for insulting, my sister who is a hell of a lot prettier than you" Rebekah remarked smug.
A fire spawned from the stake, causing Elena to twitch and cry out in pain. "Stefan... help."
Shocked by the scene, Stefan stood still. "I'm-I'm sorry."
Screaming and thrashing on the floor, Elena finally succumbed to the flames. Once the flames died down, her burnt corpse remained on the floor.
Scoffing Klaus looked smugly over at Stefan. "You mind cleaning that up, mate?"
Stefan tenderly scoped up Elena's burned body and was about to leave when Kol called out to him.
"That was a warning from me and Maria, Salvatore if you do not stop looking for the cure then we will kill you both" he said menacingly.
Stefan nodded and fled the house, fear on his face.
