"And in the end,
we were all just humans,
drunk on the idea that love,
only love could heal,
our brokenness. "

Bonnie Bennet gazes at the horizon.
The moon was full and glowing, giving a magical glow at the French Quarter.
People, both locals and tourist, dance at the beat of the Jazz music. Families enjoying their dinners, College students laugh loudly with each other and children running and screaming, having the time of their lives.
New Orleans was alive.
"Are you ready Judgy?"
Infuriated by the Salvatore's charm, Bonnie snapped.
"I don't need you to be here Damon"
He closes the gap between them, his steely cobalt orbs gazes at hers.
"Listen to me carefully witchy. New Orleans is the hub of your kind. If they know how to get you out from your Anchor duties then I'll be an idiot to pass that chance. Plus Blondie told me to guard you and I am in no mood hearing a two hour lecture from my sexy frenemy"
And with that, Bonnie nodded.
[...]
"Okay this is officially creepy. What is this place?"
"It's called Lafayetta Cemetry Katharina. The witches in New Orleans practices ancestral magic. This is the place where their ancestors were buried."
"Oh" She twirls herself and look at the cemetery, "So why are we here?"
The ruffles of the trees caught her attention.
Katherine look back and notice a shadow hiding in a mausoleum tomb.
The brunette marches quickly at her, "Who are you?!"
The trespasser faces her, her voice dangerously low and her words were spiteful.
"Get your hands off me."
Katherine smirks, "or what?"
Within a few seconds, Katherine Pierce was vomiting blood.
[...]
"You will not scream nor fight me. Just be a good boy and show me your neck"
She was hungry and beyond livid.
It's been four days since she tiptoes around in New Orleans.
The idea of Klaus being super charming to his lady friends kind of pisses her off.
But she will not throw a fit, she won't. Of course not!
He promises her he would be her last so why should she be jealous?
It's not like being a father to a supernatural baby will hinder that.
It's not like Klaus, having a kingdom to conquer, will forget his oath.
And certainly it's not like the flirtatious smiles and piercing gazes he got from a certain beautiful blonde psychologist can break his promise.
He will keep his words, Right?
Not wanting to know the answer, Caroline sinks her teeth draining the poor lad mercilessly.
It was euphoric.
The fresh blood rushing at her veins making her alive made her forget why she was on bunny diet in the first place.
She licked his teeth and look at the victim's eyes.
"We just hooked up. Just say I'm kinky so I─"
Before she could finish her sentence, Caroline was hurled forcefully at the brick wall of the alley.
[...]
Elijah stood and looks at the witch torturing Katherine.
"No need for the theatrics" He exhales, "She is a former vampire. She can't hurt you"
Katherine gasps, able to breathe again. Oh! She was fuming.
Her auburn eyes were full of fury; her hands violently shook the Witch.
"Who the hell are you?! Answer me!"
The girl's face appears in front of her, smiling to sweetly.
"My name is Davina and I'm here to help you"
[...]
Caroline felt a massive pain at her head once she opens her baby blues.
"What the hell?"
She tried to free herself but the rope tied to her was soaked in vervain.
"Hello there Stranger, Don't worry I'm not going to kill you"
She mentally etched the face responsible to her headache.
The man's eyes speak volume.
Although his smile was friendly he got the eyes of a tiger. Confidence roaring at him and he got an impression of a villain she seen in too many movies.
"I'm sorry I throw you hard but we have a policy here in New Orleans."
Marcel was now close to her face, "No one fresh feed from the locals"
The blonde smiles at him devilishly and spit to his face, "So what are you going to do to me?"
"I was actually going to free you since you're obliviously new at the French Quarter" he shook his head, "but seeing you just disrespected me then the punishment is now back to the table"
"Well I'm sorry you highness but I−"
However the sentence was cut when she felt a glass full of vervain at her mouth.
[...]
Katherine raise an eyebrow, "And why would you help me?"
"Because Elijah begged me too and I never want to be a cause of someone's heart break."
Elijah smiled.
Some people might treat her as a child, immature and temperamental but he can see the innocence and the fierce loyalty the young witch possesses.
He vows to himself no trickery nor will lies establish his friendship with Davina. He rarely sees people who can easily give compassion to a human being nevertheless a thousand year old vampire.
Perhaps that was the reason why Davina agreed easily for Elijah was downright honest, answering every questions she shoots with vulnerability.
"So now what?" she pouts, "I didn't get this 500 dollar boots just to be piled with yucky mud. So snap your fingers or chant something. Bring me back to life"
To her surprise, Davina laugh at her remark and looks at Elijah.
"Now I see why you like her Elijah. She's sassy!"
Katherine rolls her eyes and shot her a glare, "Look, Little Witch. Please do tell me you have a plan to save me or else I will find a way to torture you in ways you won't imagine"
"Don't get you panties on a twist Katherine"
Her eye brows rose confused and utterly clueless,
"Damon" she continued, "and Bonnie what are two doing here?"
Damon smirks, "We came here to save your ass and remove Bonnie's membership from the flipside"
[...]
"Marcelus, what do you think you're doing?"
Truth be told, Klaus was pretty preoccupied when Marcel called saying there someone who broke the rules.
Without second thought, he shrug it off and tell her protégé to do whatever he wants when he heard a frail voice.
"Are you going to kill me?"
Just like that, he remembers.
The girl he promises to show the world along with its music, art and culture.
The perky blonde whom he gave a mini−fridge as a graduation gift.
The woman who dares him to bestow kindness and forgiveness to a traitor.
He smiles for he remembers Caroline Forbes.
Within three minutes, he was at the garden and it took all his self−control not to rip Marcel's heart right there and then.
Caroline is a mess, −hair was dishevelled, mascara stained cheek and a weak voice. She was in a chair, hands and waist were tied with rope.
"Hey you're the one who told me to rule with you, as a friend and I think it's our duty to watch over our people."
"Oh please," Klaus laughs, "those silly humans are not our people"
"They are. They help us we help them. This girl was latching to a local. I was letting her go but then she spits at me," he chuckles, "Silly little vampire"
She groans, "I have a name dumbass, it's Caroline Forbes"
"Ohhhhhh," Marcel claps his hands happily, "You are the reason why Klaus was happy when he visited Mystic Falls," he continues now looking at Klaus, "Damn man! She's a real beauty with a sharp tongue. I like her"
He jovially laughed at Marcel's remark, "Don't tell Rebekah that mate or you just signed your own death contract"
Marce trailed off and after a moment he turned to her. Caroline could see he was removing the ropes.
"Look, I'm not doing this for you or for Klaus," he continues, "I'm doing this for Thierry. Indirectly you did save his ass. If you weren't giving Klaus the time of his life, he'll be probably be dead by now. So, thank you"
[...]
"So here's the plan" Damon looks at everyone, "We have to resurrect Judgy"
Katherine scoffs, "That's comforting. Care to tell me why? She doesn't have a sagging skin"
"Oh relax Katherine," Damon winks at her, "your skin is fine. You're just vain and old."
Elijah pipes in, "She's the last Bennet witch and the only witch powerful enough to bring back a supernatural being from the other side."
"If Davina's resurrecting Bonnie then that means," She smirks, "she's powerful than Elena's BFF"
"Actually," Davina fidgets, "I am just calling the ancestors to grant me permission to restore her life. If they refuse, I won't have the power to resurrect Ms Bennet"
Bonnie couldn't help but grin at the young witch.
It is well-known in the witch community that the Bennet is the most powerful witches.
They practice all kinds of magic, ancestral, expression and even the darkest ones.
But ever since she lost her magic, the witches avoided her like a plague.
A small blaze of fire rekindle at her heart knowing that Davina still looks at her with respect even without her magic.
"The spell that you will perform can be really excruciating. Are you sure you want to do this?" Bonnie looks at her, "I know you are a harvest girl but you're sixteen. I am worried you can't get back from this"
"I am sure," Davina smiles, "Thank you for your concern but I'm a badass too."
In silence, Bonnie thought about the courage Davina has shown. She knew the harvest ritual. She knew the fate of those girls were worse than having a doppelganger line.
Then accidentally she looks at Katherine.
Katherine Pierce, the epitome of true strength.
Bonnie might not admit out loud but Katherine possesses a strength not anyone can have.
At such a young age, she was stripped from her own child but that doesn't stop her from finding Nadia cottage to cottage.
She didn't stop struggling, not accepting her doppelganger fate, she forges a new one.
When Klaus strikes back, slaughtering all her families, she never thought of turning off her humanity.
She made pain and sorrow her company and eventually reality sprung within her.
Unlike Elena, Bonnie thought, she knows life is not always black and white.
She got scrapes and bruises from traitors yet, she still manages to remain true and open to people.
"I know I'm pretty but stop staring at me Bonnie It gives me the creeps."
And even her life sucks, she still manages to be sassy.
Bonnie internally laugh, now she knows why Caroline is hell-bent to save this woman.
And now, she too, thinks Katherine Pierce deserves a happy ending.
Bonnie stares at her, bottle green meeting auburn orbs, "I, Bonnie Sheila Bennet vows with my magic to bring your immortality back Katherine Pierce and I will not fail you"
All of their jaws dropped when they see Bonnie kneeling at Katherine.
The desiccating feeling in her throat vanishes when she heard her.
Not able to control herself, Katherine's eyes became glassy.
Katherine knew an oath for a witch is crucial, a certain witch in the 19th century prove her that.
In the winter of 1992, Katherine Pierce, for the first time, felt an incessant painful stab at her chest.
She abhor herself for betraying Emily while she was nothing but loyal to her. So she promises herself when she got out from the chaos of Mystic Falls she will apologize to her.
After a few years, she did find Emily and beg for her forgiveness.
The Bennet witch lovingly embraced her and pardon her sins.
"You know I can just turn you and you would be alive again"
"I'm 58 years old Katherine. I aged too much to be a vampire," she smiles, "And death is not tragic at all, I can't wait to meet my family"
Katherine inhaled deeply trying to control the tears threatening to leave her eyes.
"What about me? Am I not your family?"
"Oh Katherine, You are my family. You are the little sister I never have"
Katherine closed her eyes, and then opened them again, tears trickling at her face,
"Then don't run off please? You're the only one I got."
The way Katherine looked at her made the past come rushing back, and for a moment Emily relives every emotion, heart ache and happiness.
"Katherine, dying will not change that even I'm far away from you, I will always watch over you. I love you little sister"
When Emily held her last breath, Katherine was holding her hands.
"Вие винаги ще бъде голямата ми сестра. Аз винаги ще те обичам Емили."
[You will always be my big sister. I'll always love you Emily.]
"Bonnie…I"
Katherine Pierce can't fathom what it was.
Maybe, it was the memory of Emily or Bonnie's shocking revelation.
Unexpectedly, she had the courage to tell her what she had been wanting to.
"Thank you Bonnie" she continues while closing her eyes, "Можете да запишете малката сестра задника отново. Благодаря ви Емили"
[You save your little sister's ass again. Thank you Emily]
"Okay!" Damon claps his hand, "Bonnie has a good week or two being the anchor. Now, what will we do to make judgy witch again? Then, Katherine can be a vampire again and be eternally be the pain in my ass"
Katherine snapped from her stupor and smirks, "Oh you know you love me"
"Stop being be cute"
She smirks, "Can't help it"
"Davina, can you do the spell?" Bonnie piped in.
"Yes, I can. I have already memorized every line. Are you ready Bonnie?"
"Yes" Bonnie answered.
"Elijah, Katherine and Damon, I need you to take a step back"
Everyone nodded and took few steps back then, Elijah holds Katherine hands.
"One step closer Katharina"
Davina and Bonnie remained at the center of the cemetery.
Bonnie smiles, "You can do this"
Both of the witches hold hands and close their eyes and Davina started to chant.
Benedicite spiritus, exaudi orationem meam. In virtute tua, et sanguine, ut reducatur ad vitam vivere.
[Spirits, heed my plea. With your power and her blood, may her life be brought back to life]
Gigantic winds crashing the trees, leaves violently falling from its branches.
Katherine holds Elijah's hands tighter.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Bonnie fell to her knees, hands clutching at her heart.
Benedicite spiritus, exaudi orationem meam. In virtute tua, et sanguine, ut reducatur ad vitam vivere.
Davina stretches her hands to the air and chant louder, blood gushing at her nose.
Benedicite spiritus, exaudi orationem meam. In virtute tua, et sanguine, ut reducatur ad vitam vivere.
Bonnie shrieks again, louder this time.
Damon's panic scale shoot from zero to hundred. He was ready to tackle Davina when Elijah shoves him at a tomb.
"You will not dare end the spell"
"Are you blind!? Bonnie's bleeding! That's not the deal!"
"Do you speak Latin Damon?"
Their heads snapped at the witches' direction.
Bonnie yells again, hands on her heart and head, blood coming from her mouth. Davina's hands were place at Bonnie's shoulder.
Benedicite spiritus, exaudi orationem meam. In virtute tua, et sanguine, ut reducatur ad vitam vivere
She chants louder, now blood coming out from her eyes.
"She's killing her! Bonnie will die Idiot!"
Damon fights the grasp of Elijah's grip but miserably failed.
"You fool, the spell requires their blood!"
Elijah fangs pop out, blood vessels burst in his eyes, he snarls at him,
"You will not stop Davina's chanting or the spell even if Bonnie is vomiting blood. Do you hear me?"
Suddenly the gates of the cemetery burst into flames.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Damon saw the maroon spots pop out when Bonnie screamed, it broke the blood vessels in her eyes.
A gush of blood was cough up when Davina recite the spell again.
Benedicite spiritus, exaudi orationem meam. In virtute tua, et sanguine, ut reducatur ad vitam vivere
Another set of blaze surrounded Bonnie and Davina.
Benedicite spiritus, exaudi orationem meam. In virtute tua, et sanguine, ut reducatur ad vitam vivere
Before Damon can react again, everything stopped and silence sets in.
