Thank you for reviewing! Tell me what you think, and tell me if I need to improve on something. Sorry I took so long!
Here is chapter 7 on Immortal Soul.
Bonnie look out her bedroom window; the night sky was beautiful millions of stars make their appearance as the sun goes to rest. How different was the Day and Night.
In the day you feel protected and warmth by the glowing red ball. You have no worries if something sinister will pounce on you. While in the night you're fully alert.
You know something might be lurking around you, waiting for the right moment to attack, you feel expose and frighten; like a deer who sees a pack of wolves slowly surrounding her.
In the night you feel danger but it's an adventure—not knowing what lies ahead at the corner when you turn.
This was Bonnie's reality. Before she was afraid of the dark, feeling danger is near. However with everything that has happen—she embrace the night. No longer had she felt fear of it.
It reminded her too much of him—of Damon Salvatore.
His eyes as black as midnight, but held an odd spark of light in them. His dark hair the goes drops perfectly on his forehead, and match with those endless black eyes.
And those cheekbones are a sculpture's dream. He is handsome enough to be a super; super model…he was handsome enough to be one.
Slowly Bonnie lends her head against the cold glass, and closes her eyes. Her memories of him dance before her mind.
Every moment they were together or facing some sort of trouble. Bonnie relaxes, letting those events plays in her head like a beautiful dream.
And slowly she drifted off to sleep.
~Dream~
Bonnie slowly opens her eyes, and gasp. She was somewhere…though she wasn't sure exactly where. The place was light gray, like smoke coming out of a chimney and the dirt beneath her bare feet was very dark gray almost black as volcanoes ashes.
Looking up she saw dark puffy big clouds. There was nothing in sight. No grass, no trees, no water, not even a ray of sunlight. (And by now she was wondering how she was even able to see without the light of the sun.)
Yet deep inside her, she knows were exactly was this place; the Nether World. "Hello" she called out, no answer. Bonnie turn to face her right and a few feet where she was standing was a dark figure, curled up in the dirt.
Instantly she became alert. What if it's Marcus? What if it's someone else that came harm me? She thought. Her head was telling her "Danger is there, don't go!" but her heart said differently. So slowly she made her way to the figure. As she came closer.
The figure morphine into what look like a human body, closer she realized it was a young man.
He had his back to her, his skin was pale and he has a shock of black straight fine silky hair. He looks very thin as if he hadn't eaten in days. Then she blush, this person was naked.
Forgetting that situation she manages to speak up. "H-hello, you okay?" The young man didn't reply. Bonnie crept alone side of him, walking to the front when a bright light stop her from going anywhere.
Apparently only a light can awaken this boy, he scramble up too fast for Bonnie to step away. She didn't need to though, the teen pass her like nothing. This isn't a dream… is an out-body-experience, like the time with Alaric and Elena.
Looking back at the light, it changes. There before her was the most beautiful woman she ever seen. She looks so graceful, like someone who holds so much power and wisdom.
She was wearing a white dress that covers her feet, her black flap behind her by an invisible wind, and her eyes are icy blue. No to mention she wasn't touching the black dirt; instead she was hovering over it, like how Elena did when she was a spirit.
By this time the boy was standing, back toward Bonnie.
The woman spoke, her voice was soft and comforting; "Do not be afraid, my child. I'm known with many names but for you it's Goddess."
The young man seems to hesitate, but answered "Do you know me? My past?" the voice was soft like velvet and inviting, with a hint of an accent Bonnie couldn't place and yet it was also familiar.
"Yes, my child I know who you are and your past."
"Then tell me! Tell me please!" he cried out, desperately.
But the Goddess just smiled, "All will be revealed in good time, my child. Right now you must focus in how to return to Earth."
"Why? Why must I return? I have no one in Earth." Replied the teen. The goddess chuckled, perhaps amuse to his answer. "Ah but you're wrong. You do have people who know you and loves you. You must protect them, they are in great danger."
"B-but how can I protect them, I'm human, alone and defenseless. How can I protect them, the people you say who love me?'
The Goddess floated toward him and embraces him. "You are special. You have abilities no one can imagine. I will send someone to help you. Remember who you are, Angel from above.
Remember you're power and hurry home." The Goddess was beginning to fade until the light disappeared completely. The boy still stood there, probably still in shock.
"Bonnie McCullough, I believe." Bonnie catches her breath and turn around quickly, the Goddess has return. "You are Bonnie McCullough aren't you?" she asks again. Bonnie manages to choke out a word, "Y-yes."
The Goddess smiled, and Bonnie relaxed instantly. "You are brave, my child. He will come, do not worry" Bonnie slightly tilt her head, confused. "He?"
"Yes, He. But remember this; help him…help him understand his power. Also remember this, the next clue to the puzzle…" Suddenly the Goddess started to chant, making Bonnie listen intensely, like she was under compulsion.
The crow will rise again
And save the world
With its own bloodshed
He is the ultimate sacrifice
The tame one,
The loyal friend
"Remember this Bonnie McCullough; you already know who 'He' is. Sacrifices must be made." The Goddess moves her hand toward Bonnie's face and
said, 'Remember, Bonnie." Then she snaps her fingers.
~Out of Dream~
Bonnie's eyes snap open. She had slept the entire night by her window; the rays of sun sneak into her dark room, creating shadows. What did the outer- body experience means? She thought, bewildered.
She got off the small bench, and stretch. Who was that teen? What it Damon? "No" she said, "Stop it Bonnie. Stop thinking of what isn't true." Out of the corner of her eye she saw a paper folded, hiding behind a pillow.
Slowly Bonnie grabs it and unfolded it.
The crow will rise again
And save the world
With its own bloodshed
He is the ultimate sacrifice
The tame one,
The loyal friend
Bonnie stared at the words, deep in thought.
"He will come, do not worry"….. Soft as velvet with a hint of an accent that I couldn't place… black straight fine silky hair… the crow will rise again… a large black crow… "Damon is only limited to two animals, a crow and a black wolf"….
"No it can't be!" she cried. Quickly she put on some jeans, white T- shirt, and her black boots. She grabs her black sweater, stuffs the paper inside her
bag and took off to the Bordering House.
~Bordering House~
"Good morning, Ms. Flowers." Bonnie politely said, "Good Morning, my dear Bonnie. What can t do for you today?"
"Is Stefan here? Without the company of Elena, I mean."
"Yes, the dear boy is alone without the darling Elena. Come, my child. I shall get Stefan for you."
"No! It's okay Ms. Flowers, I'll go" The way Ms. Flowers said "my child" reminded Bonnie of the Goddess.
She race up the stairs, taking two steps at a time. Finally she reach Stefan's bedroom door and knock. "Stefan? Stefan it's me, Bonnie. I have to talk to you, it's important."
Bonnie heard a faded grumble, then footsteps going straight to the door. The door swung open revealing a very sleepy Stefan. "W-what's wrong, Bonnie." He mumbled. "Can I come in?"
"S-sure" he moved to the side to let her in.
~ With Damon~
For the first time in, who-knows-how-long, Damon was able to get a good night's rest. Those five minutes where the best he remembers, until some lady with a big bright flashlight woke him up.
For one thing, it wasn't her flashlight, she herself was the light. She was beautiful, and graceful. After their somewhat small talk left him confuse as ever, but he had a heading—Earth.
Some people knows and love him in Earth, Maybe it's the girls, Elena and Bonnie. Maybe even his brother, Stefan. How to get there was the real problem. "I will send someone to help you" that's what the Goddess said. Except he couldn't see anyone here to help him. He starts walking again, going absolutely no where he guesses.
"This is useless" he grumbled, "No way I'm going to find the damn exit!" Then he heard footsteps approaching him. Damon froze, the footsteps came closer, and then a figure appeared.
"Who's there?" he yelled. The figure suddently stops, than too fast for Damon to understand a man appeared before him, making Damon yelp in surprise a jump a good distance away from the man.
"Finally I have found you, mon amie sournoise Damon! Atlas, I found you!" the man hollered out. "W-what?" Damon said, dumbfoledly (if that's even a word).
The man's grin turn into a frown "don't you remember? Don't you know who I am?" Damon stared at him for a couple of seconds, and then shook his head.
"No I never see you until now" the guy took a step back, and slaps his hand on his forehead. "Ah, mon ami. How did this happen? You don't remember anything? At all?"
Damon asks, suspiciously 'Ummm who are you?"
"Oh desole, sorry my friend. I'm Sage."
"Well Sage do you know who I am? I mean I know my first name is Damon but what about my last, and my life?"
Sage grin reappeared, "Why, garcon you're Damon Salvatore! Everyone knows who you are. You're quite popular down at Les dimensions sombres, the Dark Dimensions."
"Dark Dimensions?" he said, questionably. "Ah, but first let's get you out of here. You had been missing for a while, mon ami."
"Sure" and with that Sage claps a huge hand on Damon's shoulder and guides him out the gray world.
~ Bonnie and Stefan~
"Bonnie what's wrong?" Stefan pleads for what seem like the fifth time since she got there. Bonnie look down nervously, her fingers twitch uncontrollably on her lap. She took a deep breath, "Look Stefan, I think I might have a lead to the…our situation, but I need proof. So don't jump into conclusions when I ask you these questions, alright?"
Stefan glazed at her confusingly from his chair. "Okay, sure. Ask away." Bonnie slowly let her breath out, relaxed. Okay now for the hard part. "I…I want to know about D-Damon's childhood life." Stefan tilts his head slightly.
"For what?"
"Please Stefan, I tell you when I get the information I need." Stefan sigh, admitting defeat,
"Alright, well I don't think his childhood was easy, I mean he really didn't get along with our Father, he was always getting beaten up… though some where suppose to be for me, but Damon made him beat him instead.
I always saw him with a new cut, bruise, and scratch, markings of a whip, things like that. That all stop when he went to the University."
Bonnie listens intensely, wincing every time Stefan mention a cut or bruise. She couldn't even imagine Damon getting beat up. Still doesn't answer my question.
"Is there anything else besides that, I mean besides your Father?"
"He did tell me that he use to be bullied, pick on by other kids but that's when he was eleven…then something change.
Like he became someone else, no longer he was being bullied…him, himself became the bully.
He picks on those who use to pick on him, though his approach was more aggressive. Punch those who made fun of me, pick on me, or basically harm me."
Bonnie shift, uncomfortable in the bed, Eleven? Why did he change so sudden in eleven? "Hey Stefan do you know why he suddently change when he was eleven?"
Stefan's eyes hit the floor and he closes them tight. "No. But that ever it was…it must have been very big to change him like that and so soon."
Suddently Bonnie gasp, making Stefan open his eyes and look up in inhuman speed. "I got it Stefan! I know a spell that can let us see what it was!"
"How? Don't you need Damon for it?" She smirk at him,
"Nope, all I need is a relative, a sibling of blood. And that's where you come in."
Stefan sigh, great I'm going to be her guinea pig for her experiments today.
Wonderful…
Hope you like this chapter! I'll be back hopefully soon. Sorry for some incorrect words I'm not a good speller…I think I mention that before…
Anyway Review!
