A/N: Thank you all so much for the wonderful reviews, Favorites, Follows & those who are just reading. It really means a lot! I had every intention of posting this chapter earlier in the week, but my life's crazy schedule has gotten in the way and also trying to get the thoughts flowing for this chapter. But thanks for sticking with me and I hope you enjoy!
Klaus sat on the edge of his bed, dabbing a wet wash cloth against Caroline's forehead. When he and Kol brought her and Bonnie to their place, they disbursed to their own room. It took Klaus half an hour to calm down the beautiful blonde from thrashing in pain. When he was finally able to do so, he fed her his blood, and now she had succumbed to sleep.
The special thing about Klaus was that his blood was the only thing that could heal the slow throbbing death of a werewolf bite to vampires. He would have shoved it down her throat the moment he entered his place, but he waited until the thrashing around and hallucinations calmed.
After he finished softly dabbing her forehead with the wet cloth, his attentions was to leave her for a moment, to go see how Kol was handling the witch, but as soon as he made a move to get up, a gentle grip on his arm stopped him.
Still as Caroline slept, it was as if her body reached out to him. And Klaus knew that he couldn't leave her….. He didn't want too. And that was unlike him.
So…. He set back down.
When Kol laid an unconscious Bonnie Bennett in his bed, he immediately bit into his wrist, letting the blood pool to the surface, and brought it to her mouth. It took a moment before she accepted the blood down her throat, but when she did, her eyes shot open.
The fact that her irises were pure white caught Kol a bit off guard, but when her hand clasped on to his, he couldn't fathom the feeling that shot through him. It wasn't just power…. but a sense of warmth.
And before he knew it, the bullet she was shot with floated out of her abdomen and evaporated before his eyes. He saw Bonnie's eyes go back to their exquisite green color, before she succumbed to sleep.
"Kol what the bleeding hell is going on! Why do I smell…?" Rebekah yelled walking into her brother's bedroom, only halting mid- sentence when she noticed her new found friend she met earlier laying asleep on Kol's bed. "Blood…." She continued slowly.
Kol put a finger to his lips, issuing his loud sister to keep quiet. And before she could say anything else, he walked her out of his room and closed the door.
"What is Bonnie doing in your bed? Why is she bleeding….Kol, what did you do?"
Kol rolled his eyes, "Why do you automatically think I did something, sister?"
Rebekah glared at him.
"And how do you know the dear witch?"
Rebekah's eyes widened putting two and two together. Meeting Bonnie earlier, she didn't once register that she was a witch. The last name should have put it all in perspective for her, but she was so amp on meeting a new friend and the automatic connection she felt with Bonnie that she didn't even realize.
Seeing his sister's shocked expression, it brought him an understanding, "You did not know her true nature, Rebekah? I believe you are slipping."
She slightly shoved it, "Hush up Kol. You still didn't answer my question, what happened to Bonnie?"
Kol explained the details of him and Klaus finding Bonnie and Caroline being attacked by werewolves.
"Are they alright?" she asked, not caring that she showed worry on her features.
"Bonnie is fine, she is resting now and I am guessing Nik has healed Caroline because she has stopped yelling and thrashing around."
Rebekah tried moving past him to go into his room, but Kol blocked her yet again.
"She is going to need to see a familiar face when she wakes up."
"And she knows who I am; hence I help Nik teach a class she is in. You can see her later, Bex."
Rebekah's eyes connected with her brother's. There was something hiding behind them that she almost didn't want to question; a look that she had never seen before cross his features.
And when he turned away from her about to open his door to go back and sit with Bonnie, he stopped at what Rebekah said next.
"You are engaged Kol."
He didn't look back at her before he walked inside and closed the door; wishing he could slam it. The next person who reminded him that he was engaged, he swore he would rip their heart out.
Rebekah could only let out a breath of frustration. She knew her brother and she knew how possessive he could be over his things. And as crazy as it sound even to her, the look he gave her when she wanted to go in to see Bonnie and the fact that he is in there taking care of her spoke volumes. Especially since he was to be married in the next eight months.
Bonnie's eyes slowly drifted open and it took her a moment to take in her surroundings. Realizing that she was in an unfamiliar place, she immediately sat up.
"Don't be frightened, dear." A familiar accented voice drifted to her ears.
She looked in the direction of his voice, and her eyes connected with Kol, whom was sitting on a chair beside her.
"What happened? Where am I? " Her voice was soft yet held worry as she still felt disoriented.
Kol walked over and sat on the edge of his bed, facing her.
"You do not remember?"
She shook her head, but when she looked down and noticed her shirt caked with blood, memories came rushing back to her. She, Caroline, and Matt were attacked by werewolves.
"Oh, God, where's Caroline? Where's Matt." She stood out of bed, on shaky legs, determine to find her friends. If anything had happened to them, she didn't know what she would do.
Kol stood up quickly in front of her, and held her shoulders softly, "They are safe, little witch."
Bonnie could see the sincerity in his eyes and knew that he was telling the truth, but she just had to see for herself. Even though she felt as if she could fall out any moment, she still tried to move past him.
He was able to stop her again, "Bonnie you must lay back down you look as if you will fall over. Your friends are safe. Niklaus has informed me that Caroline is sleeping."
"But werewolf bites kill vampires." And she felt sick just thinking about it.
"Yes and my brother is the only one with a cure." He said, leading her back to his bed. "Now, lay back. I will get my sister to bring you some clothes."
Bonnie was hard headed… but at this moment she listened to him. And she wouldn't admit that looking into his eyes was bringing her a foreign comfort.
And even though it was wrong, Kol didn't want to look away from her. The defiance in her eyes to see her friends was masked a bit by the vulnerability that he could tell she was trying push away.
He didn't know how long he stared at her before a knock at the door brought him out of his gaze and his blonde sister walked through the door. No one missed Kol's eye roll.
"I brought you some fresh clothes, Bonnie." Rebekah said with a soft smile on her face. "Though they may dwarf you, but just so you can put on something fresh."
The shock expression on Bonnie's face could not be hidden, "You're…?"
"You've already met my sister, Rebekah Mikaelson. She insists on annoying you."
Rebekah shoved Kol, causing him to stumble back a little, "Do not listen to him, his jokes are more aggravating than his face."
A slight smile formed on Bonnie's face at their sibling bickery.
Rebekah laid the clothes she brought on Kol's bed, "We will be leaving you now. The bathroom is through those doors," she pointed to one of the doors in Kol's room, "I will be back to check on you later."
And with another smile, Rebekah made her way to exit out of the room, dragging a resistant Kol with her.
As soon as the door closed, Bonnie didn't have time to linger on the fact that Rebekah was a vampire and Kol's sister. Instead, she shot up out of bed, ran into the bathroom, and threw her contents from her dinner earlier into the toilet.
She knew that using the magic she did to take out that werewolf would cause an effect on her, but surprisingly it was just now hitting her. Dark magic was still inside of her, and though it was dormant now after recovering in the summer, it could still come out if she wasn't in control. And being shot, left all of her walls down. When she woke up she felt a little disoriented, but she knew it was the coppery taste on her tongue, that had to be from Kol's blood, that made her feel a little at ease.
And now…. Now, she felt as if her insides were falling into a bottomless pit. Her head was pounding, and her skin felt on fire.
She didn't know exactly when she turned on the water in the shower and stepped inside, but she did know exactly when she slid down and sat on the shower floor.
She couldn't stop shaking as her body started going through a magical withdrawal.
When Caroline's eyes shot open, she sat up abruptly. She quickly registered that she was in bed in someone's room. When she was about to get out of bed, a familiar voice stopped her.
"Calm down love, you are alright now."
Her eyes connected with Professor Klaus Mikaelson, causing her to stay still. That's when everything started coming back. She, Bonnie, and Matt were ambushed by a few werewolves, Bonnie was shot, and Caroline was bitten by one of them.
She also remembered going in and out of conciseness, and Klaus helping her calm down.
"You saved me…?" Her voice was just a bit above a whisper, but she knew he heard her loud and clear.
He nodded. His eyes bored into hers, causing an unidentified feeling course through her.
"How…?"
"My blood is the only cure for a werewolf bite." His accented voice filled her ears.
"Who are you?" she asked. Because vampire blood couldn't just heal a werewolf, especially when it was deadly to vampires.
Before he could say anything, Rebekah uninvitingly burst through the door, with a frantic look on her face, "Oh good you're awake." She said to Caroline.
"This better be important, Rebekah…"
Rebekah rolled her eyes, something she found herself doing to her brothers a lot, "Something's wrong with Bonnie. She's locked herself in Kol's bathroom, and I can hear her shivering… she's shaking. And I think she's used some spell to where we can't get in."
No, Caroline thought, she knew what was happening. Before anyone could say anything else, she sped to Kol's room, not needing directions because she knew Bonnie's scent.
Kol was standing by his bathroom door, and Caroline began knocking on it, "Bonnie… it's me, let me in. It's just me… Caroline." It took a moment, but then the door creaked open, and Caroline rushed inside, closing it behind her, leaving the three Originals on the other side.
Caroline walked in on Bonnie holding on to her knees and shaking terribly. She turned off the shower water and bent down to her best friend.
"Bonnie…. Bonnie look at me." She held onto her shoulders, "Bonnie, look at me."
Bonnie eye's slowly connected with Caroline's. "C-Care….." She felt as if she couldn't breathe. It was as if her magic was trying to forcefully take control of her.
"You can fight this Bonnie. This is just the withdrawal from the magic. You can fight this. You did it before. You can do this Bonnie." Caroline hated that her best friend had to go through this. This wasn't the first time she had a withdrawal from her magic; over the summer she experienced several, only this time it wasn't as bad. "You can do this. Do this Bonnie. Do this!"
She had to yell, because she knew that Bonnie wouldn't be able to hear her through too much coddling.
It took thirty minutes to calm Bonnie down, and though she was still a little out of it, she was able to dress into the clothes Rebekah brought for her, with Caroline's help.
Caroline helped her into bed and pulled the covers up over her. She gently brushed the hair out of her face, "I'm going to go find you some water, and I'll be right back okay?"
She nodded softly, feeling drained.
All three originals were now in their kitchen, drinking greedily from a blood bag.
"How is she able to sit in there?" Rebekah asked, wondering how Caroline was able to be around Bonnie at this time, "It felt as if she were sucking the life right out of me."
"You do know you are dead, Bex?" Kol may have held sarcasm against his sister, but he was wondering the same thing she was.
When Bonnie started going through her withdrawal, he felt as if all of his energy was weakening.
"So, it seems that the witch is more powerful than even she can handle." Klaus said, with an irritated look in his eyes. He was now consuming his second bag of blood, not liking the way he was feeling at the moment. "She needs to leave."
"She has a name, Nik." Rebekah said, defensively.
"Yes and its Bonnie." Caroline's voice rang through their ears.
They all turned to look at her, and could feel the anger radiating through her.
Caroline's glare remained on Klaus. She didn't like that he came off rude; knowing that Bonnie wasn't well. "I wanted to come and ask for some water, but we'll be out in five minutes.
Before she could turn to leave, Rebekah stopped her, "Wait," she grabbed a bottle of water out of the fridge, "Ignore my brother, he doesn't have manners." She handed Caroline the bottle and smiled softly, "Please stay for the rest of the night. It's late, and both you and Bonnie need rest. You can stay."
Caroline let a small smile form to her lips at Rebekah's words, and went back upstairs to Bonnie, not giving Klaus a second look.
Kol smirked, "Well if you wanted her attention, brother, I think you got it."
Klaus through a knife at his brother, who caught it before it connected with his chest, and then walked out of the kitchen, leaving a laughing Kol.
It was 3:00 am, and Rebekah lightly knocked on Kol's bedroom door, where Bonnie and Caroline were.
"Come in," she heard Caroline's whisper.
Rebekah walked in, "I didn't know if you would be awake. But I brought you some O negative." She said, handing her a mug full of blood.
"Thank you," she whispered. Caroline was holding on to Bonnie, as her head rested on her stomach, "She just fell asleep, so I was probably about to do the same in a few."
Rebekah couldn't help but feel contentment being near them, "It is amazing, the way you care for her."
"She's my best friend, I would die for her. And she would do the same for me. Actually she has." She smiled, and yawned afterwards.
"I'll let you get some sleep. If you need anything, I'm right across the hall."
"Thank you, Rebekah, and thank you for the clothes and being nice."
Rebekah gave her a smile, and then left.
Bonnie woke up, to Caroline snuggled into her side. She couldn't help but smile a bit, not just because she was feeling extremely better from last night and had a wonderful sleep, but because every time she and Caroline went to sleep one way they always woke up the opposite way. It had always been like that, even when they were kids.
She sat up slowly, making sure she didn't wake her, and saw the digital clock on the nightstand. It read: 7:00am. This was the first time she woke up early, and felt comfortable…. Well rested. Last night was hard, and she hated those moments she went through withdrawals. It didn't happen so much anymore, but the first month of summer, it happened every day, and it was extremely worse then. She could still do some magic; the simple spells and a few aneurysms here and there, but the big ones… the dangerous ones, like killing a werewolf, was something that she just couldn't do anymore without losing control.
A knock at the door brought her out of her thoughts, and before she could say anything, Rebekah walked in, holding a tray of food.
"I'm sorry…I was going to leave this out for you two for when you woke up," she whispered.
"Thank you." She whispered as well, trying not to wake Caroline.
They stayed in silence for a moment, both wanting to ask questions, but not sure how to say anything.
"You two have a great friendship. She really cares for you." Rebekah said, breaking the silence.
Bonnie smiled and looked down at Caroline, whom was still sleeping, "She's my best friend… my sister…. I would die for her. She's like my soulmate. I don't know where I would be without her." And it was true; she would do anything for her.
"I only wish to have a friendship like that."
Bonnie smiled, "Please… sit down. There's enough food on here for all of us… unless you've eaten?"
Rebekah sat down across from Bonnie, and started eating a piece of fruit. "I can tell you want to ask me something."
"That obvious," she laughed lightly, trying not to wake Caroline.
"Yes, ever since you found out I was related to Kol and Nik, you must have tons of questions."
"Actually I do…" After she took a sip of her orange juice she continued, "I know you all are vampires, but I feel something different when I'm near all of you, your energy is different. "
"Well, Bonnie, my family and I are the first vampires that were ever created. We are supposedly known as the Originals."
Bonnie almost choked on her fruit.
A/N: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Just a few little things I want to point out. Matt will be back in the next chapter lol. I haven't forgot about him.
Also, I know the characters may be OOC from the show, but at the end of the day this is how the originals would be if they led more human lives, they still have their snarky attitudes and their jokes lol, but they can be a bit different. Also, the way I have Caroline and Bonnie's friendship is pretty much how I said, they are soulmates. And I use that term as just a strong friendship, where they will always be there for one another.
As you can see Bonnie experienced a withdrawal from her magic, and it wasn't the first and it won't be the last. More of her past will be touched on when she used dark magic, when she was seduced by Professor Shane, when she went away for the summer with Caroline. Especially more will be revealed on how things were different in Mystic Falls without the Originals ever coming into play.
If you have any questions please ask, and I will try my best to answer it without giving too much away. Please review,and if you would like to read my rant for the show keep scrolling lol. If not, thanks for reading this chapter and I hope you all enjoyed it!
TVD Rant.
I'm going to be honest when I say that I wasn't really feeling the season finale of vampire diaries. Of course I was beyond pissed that they killed Bonnie, but after researching and reading so much, Julie Plec said that she will have a vital part in season 5. Which means she will most likely be a ghost. And I really hope she doesn't stay that way forever. I like her as human and as a powerful witch. I'm also mad that the last couple of episodes they give Bonnie amazing screen time and she's just this badass witch, and then Bam, she's dead. Really? How many times does a character that they don't let have that big of role sacrifice herself for friends who are mostly only worried about the triangles they are in. Trust me, I love Caroline's character, I do, but I just hate that Bonnie doesn't have more of a role. Hell, she doesn't even get any good love interests. I started liking Jeremy I did, but come on, he cheated on her with a ghost. She didn't want to be around him, then all of a sudden, its like they were all in love. Idk it was just annoying.
There are many viewers that can't stand Bonnie, and I just can't see why? Hmmm, maybe it's because she doesn't have much screen time or those life altering story lines, unless she's sacrificing for her friends. Think about it. The first season of TVD I couldn't stand Caroline, she was annoying. but when she became a vampire, and things started changing, I really started to like her. Honestly I just feel as if they can go further with Bonnie's storyline then they have gone so far. Think about it, her Bennett line, pretty much created vampires, helped Silas become immortal... and probably created werewolves as well, but anyways I'm going to stop there because my rant would probably be a whole other chapter.
Oh and the Kol and Bonnie scenes in the finale made me ship them harder... too bad it will never happen.
Okay sorry for the long rant! Please review =) xoxo
