"Hi Bonnie." Elena said, waving shyly to the friend she hadn't seen in over a thousand years.
"What-how- you just- what's happening? I just watched you disappear from my living room, Elena!" Bonnie shouted, disregarding the original standing there.
"Can we- can we discuss this inside, please?" Elena asked quietly.
"Yeah, sure." Bonnie said. Elena walked forward but ran into the barrier of the house. "Why can't you get in? You were just inside like 20 minutes ago."
"A lot of things have happened since then, Bonnie, you have to re-invite me inside." Elena told her friend who just looked confused.
"You may come in, but he stays outside." Bonnie said, pointing at Kol.
"I need him with me for this Bonnie, I promise I will explain everything but please invite him in." Elena said to her. Bonnie just looked over at her with a confused expression.
"What does he have to do with anything and why are you with an Original?" Bonnie questioned.
"He has to do with everything I am about to tell you and I'm with all of them." Elena told her as the other three walked out from the shadow of the tree. "I promise I will explain, just let him in, please Bon?"
"Fine, you can come in, but don't think I'm not capable of putting that barrier back up if you do something to piss me off." Bonnie said to Kol who walked across the threshold.
"Don't worry little witch, I know exactly what you can do." Kol said as he and Elena walked into the living room following Bonnie.
"It's so good to see you again, Bonnie. I've missed you like crazy!" Elena said, hugging Bonnie tightly. The witch pulled away and looked at Elena strangely.
"I just saw you like twenty minutes ago, 'lena. What's going on?" Bonnie asked seriously.
"Bon, it's been over a thousand years for me. Whatever spell you did sent me back to when they were humans." Elena explained, causing Bonnie's eyes to widen.
"Wait, what?!" Bonnie asked quickly.
"Whatever spell you just did that made me disappear? Yeah, it sent me back to the year 998." Elena told her.
"It was just supposed to be a simple tracking spell, how did it send you into the past?" Bonnie questioned.
"That's what I've been wondering for the past thousand years." Elena muttered.
"It must have been the full moon mixed with the expression, I didn't realize. Elena, I'm so sorry." Bonnie tried to apologize, but Elena stopped her.
"Don't be. I want to thank you, Bonnie. Being sent back was the best thing that's ever happened to me." Elena told her and Kol looked over at her, squeezing her hand tightly.
"Wait, if you've been around for a thousand years, where have you been since you were born?" Bonnie asked suddenly.
"Well, considering we didn't know what would happen if two of me existed in the same time period, I chose to dagger myself the day before I was born, they only just wakened me right when you did the spell, Bon. I've been 'dead' for lack of better terms for over 18 years." Elena said, watching Kol flinch.
"If you were daggered that would have to mean—," Bonnie began.
"She's an original, yes." Kol finished. "And my wife."
Bonnie's eyes about popped out of her head when Kol said the words. Elena looked over at him then punched him in the shoulder.
"What, darling? She was going to find out eventually." Kol said honestly.
"Yeah well I was going to get to it." Elena said back to him.
"My way was easier, love." Kol said, smirking.
"You just wanted to be the one to say it." Elena said in huff.
"Wow, you guys even sound like a married couple." Bonnie said, just staring at the two original vampires in her living room.
"Well we should. We have been married for a thousand years at least." Kol replied smugly.
"Kol, you insult me, it's been a thousand and ten at least." Elena responded back.
"Look at her, she's still counting decades! I'm going by centuries now, love." Elena punched him in the shoulder again. "Such and abusive wife I have! Oh come now, darling, I was just joking. It's been exactly 1015 years, 3 months, and 16 days since we got married. Impressed?" Elena looked over at him and kissed him lovingly. She was extremely impressed that he remembered the exact date.
"You've remembered after all this time." Elena said proudly.
"Of course I did, I could never forget one of the best days of my life, darling." Kol said kissing her again.
"Alright, alright. Now can we continue this in the morning when you two have settled down? I get that you haven't been with each other for like 18 years but cant it wait until you at least are somewhere private?" Bonnie asked.
"I wouldn't count on it, little witch, they have been like that for the past millennia. We stopped believing they would ever settle down after the first century." Klaus shouted from outside the front door.
"Oh shut up, Nik, we aren't that bad." Elena yelled back at him, completely throwing Bonnie for a loop. She hadn't ever heard anyone talk to Klaus that way and survive.
"Yes, you are, little sister. But I guess that's what you get with two eternal teenagers." He shouted back at them.
"We'll be back tomorrow to tell you some more, alright Bon?" Elena said as she and Kol walked to the door. Bonnie nodded. "I really did miss you." She said before giving her friend a hug and walking outside to her family, hand in hand with Kol.
They ran back to the mansion and Kol already had her pinned up against the wall, kissing her fiercely before the others could arrive. As the others came inside, Kol flashed them upstairs to their room and locked the door before throwing Elena onto the bed.
-You all know what happens here… wink wink…-
Nearly an hour later, both of them lay in the king-sized bed curling into each other, still breathing heavily.
"Tomorrow is going to be a long day…" Elena said, dreading the fact that she would need to see everyone else tomorrow.
"Not nearly as long as today, darling. I swear it has been the longest day of my life. I was literally counting the seconds." Kol told her, kissing her sweetly.
"Kol, promise me you won't kill the Salvatores if they do something?" Elena asked him sincerely.
"I promise I won't kill them, but I can't promise I won't react if they try anything with you, Elena. You know how I am, darling." Kol told her honestly.
"Yes, yes, I know, but don't worry, Kol. I am only yours for the rest of eternity. Always and forever, remember?" Elena said with a smile.
"As I am yours, always and forever." Kol replied, kissing her forehead before they both drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the very first day they met.
Well, let me know what you think. I will begin the flashbacks in the next chapter. REVIEW! Love you all, my darlings. -BEX
