-Oh You Know, I Can't Let You Go!- chapter 7
The two were just minutes from the cabin. The gang and Elijah were in their places in and outside. Klaus pulled into the front way path and noticed something was off, he couldn't place it yet but something wasn't right. So he stopped the car midway before the cabin and got out, Bonnie was about to exit when he gestured for her to stop as he eased passed the front of the car. He sniffed at the air, "Yes. Something's definitely off here." and backed up.
He got back in and pulled up further slowly and stopped. Bonnie didn't like the feeling that was mounting in her gut, he got out once more and stood right in front of the car between the headlights letting them beam brightly.
"Elijah! I know you're here! Let's have a little chat, how bout' it?" Klaus yelled out looking at the cabin then around. Elijah emerged from inside the cabin with Bonnie's grimoire still glued to his hands. He strolled over to Klaus standing five feet away, "Hello brother! I was just looking for you," he smiled then deadpanned, "I as well Niklaus." he took a long gaze a Bonnie, and back at Klaus.
They circled each other like prey before coming to a full stop. Bonnie got out the car standing behind the door, "Is that my grimoire?" she yelled as suddenly Elijah tackled Klaus to the ground, "Do it now!" Elijah yelled as he tussled with Klaus. Bonnie looked spooked she ran over about to force Elijah off with a spell before Damon came and half nelson-ed her away from the fighting brothers, "BONNIE!" Klaus curdling screeched as Damon ran off with her. He was truly thrown off.
It is 1:34 a.m.
Bonnie wasn't getting ready to let this shit happen. As he was running with her beyond the cabin now, where she took her tumble, she began to glow. Not just her eyes but her whole body, Damon looked but kept on running as they started to enter the forest. She suddenly floated out of his arms, he couldn't stop it from happening and stopped, he looked dumbfounded. What the hell was going on? She was levitating a couple feet away from him, lightning skipped across the sky and thunder claps occurred every other second.
"Bonnie...Bonnie whatever juju this is stop it!" he said almost backing away. Klaus bested Elijah when he suplexed him into the car hood, a dagger fell out of his pocket. He grabbed at it and daggered him before Tyler came running over about to strike him, he booted him across the way. Caroline and Elena had ran after Damon, Stefan now running after Klaus and Jeremy had went over to undagger Elijah and get in the car.
Bonnie was now eight feet above the ground with her hands out, energy started pouring from her hands as she cocked her arms back as if she we getting ready to clap them together. He felt a danger mounting and ran out of her view, soon after a blast of energy shot from her hands decimating the exact spot Damon was standing in. Caroline had tripped over the chains Jeremy had dropped in the grass, Elena kept running. She plucked the chains up despite them burning her hands.
"Ghhhhh...dammit this hurts!" she tried insulating them with her brown leather jacket but it didn't work. Klaus was behind her, she turned around and he knocked her out of his way running again. [Damn, why didn't he snap her neck.] Jeremy drove the car through the garden and violently down the hill, the car double wheeled and eventually flipped onto the roof. He crawled out, disoriented and stumbled over into the field, he fell down and lied still.
Elijah came to and looked around, he smelled the air catching the scent of a fuming car, he ran in its direction. Stefan was right behind Klaus getting ready to jump him, Tyler stopped right in front of him and daggered Klaus. Stefan brought him to the ground and daggered him with the other Elijah dropped. Tyler was holding him down by the arms, "Ahhhhhhhhh! I'll fucking kill you two...and your precious Elena!" he spat as Stefan punched him, "Son of a bitch! You'll never harm any of us again!" he punched him again hard, "Including Elena!" and kicked him in the face, he was fading now that the daggers were in him; he last saw Stefan and Tyler's face before last saying; "Bonnie..."
"Guess we didn't need a witch after all." Tyler murmured.
Elijah sped over to Jeremy, making sure he was breathing he picked him up. Jeremy slowly opened his eyes, Caroline hand on head, came wobbling over to the two. She was pointing to something, Jeremy stood on his own and walked over to her, "W-what? What are you..." he saw the chains sparkling from the car lights, "Oh! Okay, yeah the chains." he scooped them up and the three began walking towards the wooded area.
Damon was now being followed by a still levitating Bonnie, "Shit! How the hell is she spotting me?" and he ran zig-zag into random directions. Elena wasn't far behind, she caught eye of the aerial witch in disbelief at how strong her craft had gotten, "He definitely did something to her." she thought only a couple feet behind her.
Jeremy, Caroline, and Elijah had made it over to Stefan and Tyler. They saw a 'dead' Klaus not moving whatsoever, "Quick! Wrap him in the chains!" Elijah ordered anxiously. Jeremy, as hard as he could, tied Klaus up into the chains as tight and difficult as he could. Elijah picked his brother up, "So what do we do now?" asked Caroline, "Go find Elena and that witch. And get your lives back in order, I have Klaus now and will deal with him accordingly. However, we'll need miss Bennett well so she can help reverse whatever spell she struck Kol with." they were nodding their heads as he was backing up.
"I'll meet up with you all in a week." and he sped off into the opposite direction of them, "That's done." and they all began running in the way Elena had.
Bonnie landed. She was still glowing an ever so bright blueish white aura that almost blinded Elena. In fact she was shielding her eyes not seeing Bonnie approach her, Bonnie lowered the intensity of the glow and stared at Elena. She took her hands away from her eyes and flinched, "B-Bonnie? Is this really you...how'd you get so-" abruptly she gets grabbed by the throat by her. Damon notices that he wasn't being followed anymore, so he turns around, "I can't believe I'm doing this." and runs back in the direction he last saw the witch.
The rest were a little while away from Elena but gaining ground quick. Bonnie let Elena go making her crash to the ground, her glow was disappearing and she stumbled over to a tree hanging onto it. She was breathing hard and it felt like she was going to pass out, Damon sped over to Elena and helped her up, "What did she do to you?" he yelled and pulled Elena a few feet away from Bonnie.
Stefan and the others caught up finally, and went quickly to Elena's side. Bonnie was getting weak, she crawled around to the other-side of the tree and blacked-out. Elena collapsed to her knees and hands before looking up at everyone, "Elena? Are you ok?" asked Stefan whom was now kneeling beside her, so Damon had to do the same.
"Yeah...I'm ok. Where's Klaus?" she said rising to her feet dusting her self off, "Oh. We dealt with his ass!" Stefan said smiling wide, "Oh, good. Good." she walked back over to where she and Bonnie were. She saw her leg from behind the tree and walked around to her and kneeled down, "We got him away from you Bon...you're safe again. And hopefully forever." Jeremy came and picked Bonnie up. Damon kept his distance from her even if she was passed out, and all began walking into the darkness away from what was her and Klaus' cabin; their get away.
She never retrieved her grimoire.
They brought Bonnie back to Elena's house, bringing in and resting her onto the couch. It was 4:22 a.m. when they had arrived back into Mystic Falls, everybody broke off. Tyler and Caroline went home, Damon and Stefan went home, and Elena and Jeremy slept on the floor in front of the couch. Lastly sat up, "Don't we have school? We've missed a lot of school, what are we gonna do with her in the morning?" he asks, "Well it's Saturday tomorrow-or today. we'll figure it out later. But we got her and that's all that matters." and they turned in.
Arriving back at the house Elijah tosses Klaus' body into the basement. Walking in, Rebekah hesitates and goes into the living-room. She gazes at Kol who was chained up in silver, she grimaced at his appearance then quickly walks into the kitchen. There she met dear Elijah guzzling down at least five pouches of blood, he turned to her with a drenched mouth and chortled, "I got him Rebekah...I finally got our Niklaus back..." and he sloshed past her. Rebekah looks down at the empty blood bags that littered the floor and back at her older brother revolted, "What the hell...has happened?"she whispered to her self utter disbelief.
That morning, Elena was the first to wake up. She was elated and anxious for Bonnie to wake, so calming down, she sat in a chair and decided that she'd wait; no matter how long. Jeremy a few hours later, around 10:10 a.m. got up and went to go jump start breakfast, the times Bonnie would stir would perk Elena up. Thirty minutes passed and she finally woke up, she stretched her arms out and arched her back as she was still laying down. She made a grunting noise there after and sat up, opening her eyes her contact met Jeremy's. She looked confused and turned to face forward and there Elena was.
"What the hell is this?" she thought looking around now fully grasping where she was, and who she was with. She stayed seated as Elena and Jeremy came over, she then felt sick. Elena only smiled looking at the side of Bonnie's face since she was looking forward, "Hey..." Elena finally said but Bonnie only side eyed her, "Okaaay...well, how are you feeling?" she said trying to get Bonnie to look at her by looking at her face. Bonnie stood up and sat in another seat away from them, "I guess he still has a hold on you. We can help you Bonnie," Elena said getting up. Bonnie's brows turned angry and she stayed silent and stared, "Remember what Elijah said? We need to see if he...you know? Since she's out of it." he damn near mumbled, Elena whipped her head back and shook her head.
She got in front of Bonnie on her knees and smiled, "Bonnie...forgive me for what I'm about to do...since it's my first time doing this...but we need to know if he compelled you." Bonnie looked horrified and tried to get up but she was too weak from last night and early that morning to try and escape. Elena grabbed her shoulders hard forcing her to keep still and she peered into her face looking at her eyes. her pupils dilated and Elena began to speak, "How did Klaus manipulate you to turn on us?" Bonnie's mouth parted but she didn't speak. Elena felt thrown off, "...H-how'd he get you to say all that stuff?" she was still silent and now looking at Elena like a fool, "Am I doing this right?" looking back at Jeremy, he shrugged his shoulders, "Hell if I know. Maybe we should call Stefan or something," she turned around, "Bonnie. Klaus is gone, you can speak now. He can't harm you anymore!" she said excitedly. Bonnie suddenly felt her stomach drop.
She couldn't hear anymore and her eyes were itching trying to well up, "He's gone? Klaus is gone? They took him from me because they believe he tricked and used me! That I didn't willingly choose to be with him!" she thought, closing her eyes as tight as possible trying to stop the tears from coming. Elena huffed and walked away from Bonnie with Jeremy in tow, they went in the kitchen out of her earshot. Bonnie got up and went to the window and as her eyes opened, the tears came down, "She's out of it. I mean, I'd have PTSD after a good dose of Stockholm Syndrome too given how Klaus is...we need to give her a few days. Then she'll be back to normal, back to regular Bon, that's all," Elena said tapping the counter top, "She may need more time than that. We all need to get back to school now that Klaus is dealt with. Should we transfer her from that other school?" he asked rubbing his shoulder, "I dunno...let's just worry about getting her back to normal. I need to get better at compelling though." and they went upstairs.
Bonnie was sleeping when Jeremy and Elena left. She got up caressing that necklace Klaus gave her, "It worked. I guess the necklace protected me from her compulsion...I love you Klaus." now squeezing on it, if only he could hear her. Collecting herself she locked the bottom lock to the Gilbert house and decided to go back to the comfort of her own house, now being back in Mystic Falls. Taking her little to no time to get home, she had walked so fast.
Elijah, ever since he had recovered his brother, had been standing in the window just staring out into the distance. Rebekah didn't feel comfortable around him anymore, would he her dagger, toss her away somewhere or box her up too? She tried avoiding him like the plague. Just about to sneak out the back door, he appeared on the side of Rebekah making her jump, "Where are you off to?" he said in a weirdly calm voice like he wasn't acting crazy, "Uh...into town, I'm seeing this guy..." she lied just trying to get away from him. His hand was on the door, "Well. I do hope you behave..." and took his hand away, she eases out looking back at him horrified inside, but giving him her best poker face.
Bonnie entered her house. She climbed the stairs to her room and fell on her bed, she couldn't even cry anymore. All she felt now was emptiness, drain, weakness. She felt like she had died, or part of her at least. How could she have left him so vulnerable trying to save her? She made the mistake by not protecting him and now he's...well, Elijah has probably hid him somewhere far away by now, right? She sat up and hunched forward, arms on her thighs and closed her eyes.
"That talisman, I should've gave him that talisman!" she suddenly realized knowing that it's long lost somewhere now and that it was far too late.
'-'```
Later that day, she took a quick shower, changed in to a baby doll pink chiffon shirt, a pale lavender skirt, and some heels. Since it was Saturday afternoon, and only a handful of cash to her name, she decided to take a bus back to Jamesville and go back to the cabin. Visiting it would never be the same. She left the same spell bond on her house, she made it to the bus station and hopped on the 177. Knowing how near she was getting almost made her feel sick, it sent a nervous dance of butterflies throughout her gut.
The first hour of the bus ride was down and she had nothing to do but only stare out the window. Maybe a nap would help? No, then she'd only dream of what happened. How about a spell to knock her self out? No! She wanted to be awake for this, alert. There's no use in feeling this way; how would it help Klaus? How is she going to get him back? He'd probably want for her to be rational and strong, but would understand her grief and anger. Because she should be allowed to feel so anyway.
She contemplated a scenario in just how she'd go about getting Klaus back, school may have to wait another week. All the possible ways she could draw up had ultimately failed as a way to retrieve her man, but one kept coming back sticking out, and it relentlessly clawed at her brain.
"Rebekah. Somehow I have to reach her, then maybe we can figure a fail proof plan out. And get him back." she thought finger on her chin looking at the floor of the bus, "Funny, I need Rebekah's help...nothing's ever easy." coming up on the last brief leg of the bus ride. As she looked out the window, she noticed a black haired young woman walking the length of the roadside, dressed in all black save a white tank. She stuck out like a sore thumb she was so pale, the look on the young woman's face was determination-but for what?
Bonnie looked forward as the turn for the entrance into Jamesville was coming, only she'd be walking back out to go in the direction of the cabin. Today was a very hot and muggy day, she felt bad for that woman in black walking in the heat. It seemed hotter over in this area than back in Mystic Falls, but now her journey to the cabin arose. Time to go and get her grimoire, and then beat Elijah over the head with it.
Rebekah didn't have a guy to go see, she just said that to get Elijah off her case. She stopped messing with Duke a while ago, but the issue most present was how was she going to help Kol back to normal and get Klaus out of the basement and back awake?
"The witch." she spoke aloud as she was walking out of a cafe.
Back at the house Elijah was pacing, walking the floor endlessly. Kol was moved out of view into a closet, you could hear the burning of his flesh as the chains touched exposed skin, the chain rattling against the floor and the muffled groans. He'd been thinking about his friend Isaiah, tempted to undagger Klaus just to get an answer out of him and see if he knew why Isaiah died. He stopped , "No. He has to stay as he is." and resume walking then length of the floor again.
Elena and Jeremy were at the Boarding house. She hadn't been in the highest of spirits in months, this was cause for celebration, a life free of Klaus if you will. She knew Bonnie still needed time to come back to earth and be on their side again, so she wouldn't call her up; she would let her stay back at her home. Everyone came and they threw a small party, "Woooooo! No more Niklaus Mikaelson!" they all cheered holding up a red solo cup full of some random alcohol.
Tyler and Caroline was in the kitchen making out, Jeremy and Matt were talking, and the main three that often only mattered, well, they were talking as well.
"I hope this is the last we've seen of Klaus," Damon spoke through a mouth half full of drink, "He's not coming back. I trust Elijah, he was pretty driven to get rid of Klaus," Elena added, "Yeah, besides-double daggers should do the trick. I tried to lodge one in as deep as I could get it," Damon still looked unconvinced, "Still. I hope that's all, that little witch almost incinerated me last night. Don't wanna be at the end of that again," they both looked at him, "Well...don't piss her off anymore." and they returned down to their Klaus free shindig.
Bonnie wasn't back to her fully energized self yet. That power she emitted last night really brought her down, "I guess I do need some sort of defense mechanism that keeps me from totally harming people. Killing them." and she slugged on getting into familiar territory. Streams of sweat had soaked her thin shirt, her legs felt like giving out, and her vision was getting blurry, "Why didn't I take some water with me? I'm not thinking straight." stopping to rest.
She took a long deep breath, waiting, waiting for a little burst of energy. She suddenly heard footsteps behind her, confidently, she turns around. It was that young lady dressed in black, she was smiling but looking at her concerned. Bonnie mustered a weak smile, but even that took energy from her.
"Are you ok? You look like you're about kill over!" the young woman joked. Bonnie could barely open her mouth, "Yeah, I bet I do hahah..." sitting down on the ground, "You're walking a stretch, an in those heels?" the raven haired woman goes, "I'm not having the best of thinking days, I guess," clacking her heels together, "Here, take this." she, out of Bonnie's view, conjured a bottle of water. She reached down and handed it to the resting witch.
She reached up and took hold of it, "Thanks! I really needed this!" and she twisted the cap off guzzling the bottle down. The girl waved and began walking on forward, "Hey wait! What's your name?" Bonnie asked still resting, "Kendra!" and she went on walking.
"Thank you Kendra..." Bonnie mumbled smiling. That water really hit the spot.
A/N: Hmmm... if you notice, there's an our theme going on with everyone in the story. Possession's the game for some, want is another.
