Previously on Unspoken Connections...
"Bonnie, Elena didn't spend a night with me. Jeremy told me she didn't come home last night so I was assuming she stayed back at Tyler's place because of you being there"
Bonnie closed her bag then closed her locker and looked to Stefan curiously "She didn't sleep over Stefan"
"Then where is she?" Stefan asked feeling panic take over him
"I have an idea go get Jeremy and get me two white candles then meet me in Mr. Saltzman's classroom it should give me enough time to perform the spell and it will be away from prying eyes" Bonnie explained. Stefan nodded to her instructions and went to find Jeremy
"I've got to get to class Bonnie. Talk later?" Jeremy said. Bonnie nodded and smiled a tired smile
Jeremy simply nodded at Damon when walking past to leave. Bonnie turned away blowing out the candles knowing Alaric would put them away. She folded up the map placing it in her bag but with her back turned she was secretly hoping Damon would get the message and leave.
'God, I would've thought he'd be running out into the car ready to save Elena' Bonnie bitterly thought
"You've got to stop pushing yourself with your magic" Bonnie gasped realizing that Damon was now right behind her. Gulping she turned slowly to face him and there he stood again in her personal space
He grabbed her hand catching Bonnie by surprise as she watched him lift it up gently towards her for her to see the swiped blood from her nose on her finger. Snatching her hand out of his grasp she wiped her finger on her black jeans
"It's my magic I can push as I want" Bonnie said sternly looking into Damon's slightly darkened blue eyes
"Not to the point of a bleeding nose" he said in frustration
Not wanting to deal with him or... where ever their usual arguments were leading she placed a hand tiredly on her forehead letting out a tired breath
"I... I can't have this conversation right just go and do what you usually do and go and save Elena"
"Bonnie..." Damon started but she put up a hand to silence
"Please don't" she begged grabbing her bag and walking out of the classroom quickly into the girl's bathroom. Surprised and glad that the bathroom was empty. Dumping her bag on the sink her hands gripped tight both sides of the sink and felt like everything was closing in on her
Everything was finally crashing down on her...Elena was kidnapped, Tyler was now a werewolf, her mother was recovering from Katherine's attack, Caroline was now a vampire and she... Bonnie was a witch but why... why did she feel so helpless. Taking deep breaths to calm herself and her magic, the young witch lifted her head up to see her reflection- her tears, her anger shown on her face.
"Ahhhhhhh" she screamed slamming a clenched fist into the mirror. Hissing from the pain she looked at the cracked mirror and for a split second she swore she saw her eyes turn pitch black. Blinking her eyes she was staring at her cracked reflection and now her green eyes.
"Shhh ouch" Bonnie winced from the small pinch of pain in her knuckles. Looking down to her bloody knuckles of her left hand she spotted a couple of broken glasses in her skin
"Shit" she muttered then looked up to the mirror realizing she was in school. Looking around she quickly picked out the three small pieces of glass in her skin wincing from each pick. Placing them on the sink she closed her eyes thankful it was a small spell and muttered some words. She opened her eyes to find her whole reflection staring at her. She looked down to her bloody knuckle switching on the water she winced again from the stinging sensation she felt from the water along the cuts and strangely it felt good.
"What the hell happened?" Jeremy demanded standing up scared and curious of Bonnie and her bleeding nose
Dumping her stuff in the bag she zipped it up and put it over her shoulders then turned to Jeremy plastering a fake smile "It's nothing okay I've got to go"
"Bonnie" Jeremy's voice stopped her at the door. Closing her eyes she sighed knowing that the bleeding nose would of course raise concerns and questions especially from Jeremy. Turning to face him she said softly
"I'll explain later"
Jeremy raised an eyebrow at her not believing her but she assured him "I promise but call me when Elena gets back"
The young Gilbert just nodded but deep down he wasn't going to give up on what was going on with Bonnie "Just...just be careful" he said
"Bon..." Caroline started off but was cut off by Tyler's angry voice
"No! Absolutely not!"
"Please Ty! Katherine said something to me last night and I would have found out more what she was talking about but Damon was so persistent to shut the tomb. Please Ty" Bonnie said in that tone that she knew would change his mind
Groaning out loud he began to head towards the tombs but Bonnie didn't have to know that "Okay what did she say and I may or may not take you to the tombs"
Looking back out to the window she said "She said that my dad needed her to help protect Elena and I"
Caroline turned to Bonnie nodding then sped out to wait with Tyler outside the tomb.
Bonnie looked to the tomb walking closer but not close enough for Katherine to reach "Was my father working with you and was it to do with the curse?" Bonnie asked
"Yes and yes" Katherine's dry croaked voice rang then Bonnie saw the vampire's arm creep out from the dark and than Katherine staggering towards Bonnie. Like a man deprived of water for days this was what a vampire looked like when deprived of blood.
"Why?"
Katherine let out a throatily laugh sliding down the tomb walls letting her head turn so easily to the side "I'm not saying anything...more"
Caroline looked at Tyler weirdly than at the map Bonnie opened up. Bonnie knew she probably shouldn't be doing this spell but she needed answers. Taking a deep breath she looked to Caroline than at Tyler and explained "Katherine said that her and my dad were working together and then she wouldn't tell me anything more unless I gave her something for her to talk"
"Like blood" Caroline suggested.
Bonnie nodded "Yeah but I am not doing that. So if I want answers why not face the other partner"
"Your dad" Tyler said getting off the wall grabbing his computer chair dragging it at the edge of his bed looking to Bonnie curious of what spell was going to be performed
Bonnie tiredly looked down to the map then looked to Tyler smiling slightly "I did it" she whispered than collapsed
Tyler immediately got to the bed and tried to shake his best friend awake "Bonnie! Bonnie! Wake up!" Caroline sped to the side and repeatedly tapped Bonnie to wake her up
"Leave her" Amelia's voice surprised the two. Caroline stood up straighter while Tyler got off the bed trying to explain but Amelia beat them
"She's been doing to much magic and she's just past out. So let her rest and would somebody explain to me why my daughter has been performing magic or better yet why she has been doing a number of magic to the point of her passing out?" Amelia asked crossing her arms over her chest with Mason behind her
Tyler looked to Caroline who looked to Amelia not sure on where to start "Okay... Ty, Caroline go down stairs let me grab the map and you can start from there" Amelia compromised with the teens who nodded and walked out the room
"This ought to be interesting" Mason said
"Tell me about it and it has only been one day out of reality" Amelia teased than walked into the room handing the map to Mason.
Getting up slowly she looked to her mum "I needed to mum. It's not like I was using magic for fun"
"So you needed to find your father"
"Yes because..."
"I know why Bonnie. When were you ever going to tell me that my husband or soon to be ex-husband could be working with Katherine"
"I didn't know if it was true. I wanted to find out first before I told you"
"Oh okay and how were you going to find out Bonnie? Go on a little trip to him, knock on his door and say 'Hey dad, are you working with Katherine?' Do you really think he'll answer you truthfully"
Annoyed by her mother's sarcasm when angry Bonnie said sternly "Yes because he has never lied to us. He may have hid the truth... yes, but lie to us ...never"
Amelia nodded tiredly tying her hair into a messy ponytail "Mason is going with you"
"What?" Bonnie questioned as Amelia smiled at her daughter
"I want to know the truth to and if you think this how you will find out the truth on this so call curse, then I will not stop you but you have to promise me something"
"Is this do with magic?" Bonnie guessed
"Yes" Amelia said grabbing her daughter's hands
"Being a witch is dangerous. I will let you do what you have to do to protect this town and your friends but you have to promise me you'll use your magic carefully. When you feel like you have reached your limit you stop no matter what... that's an order okay?"
Bonnie nodded tearfully "I promise"
Bonnie laid back in her seat thinking of her mother and Mason and then began to laugh "What?" Mason asked surprised from Bonnie's laughter
Calming her laughter she explained between giggles "Nothing...just...this situation. My mum left my dad and... now she's confessing her feelings to her best friend and I'm actually okay with that. I'm the daughter... shouldn't I be rebelling, acting out that my mum is wanting to end the marriage with my dad to be with the true love her life"
Mason began to laugh stating "This is so messed up"
"I think our lives are just messed up" Bonnie responded causing the two to laugh even more.
Minutes past and the two calmed down but Mason asked unsure "Are you okay... you know with the idea of your mum and I?"
"It'll be weird but you make my mum happy" Bonnie said looking to Mason but held up a finger
"But if you hurt her..."
"You'll hurt me. I know, I know" Mason said
"Oh and please I do not want to catch you two making out... well when you start kissing each other" Bonnie began to make a disgusted face causing another laugh from Mason as they soon both fell into a comfortable conversation in their road trip.
"You have a visitor asking for you at the front desk asking for your room number. She says she's your daughter" Mason said in a different tone of voice to not be recognize and it seems to work as they both heard shuffling of movement.
David got to his door opening to reveal Mason and Bonnie "What the..." but he never got to finish his sentence as Mason knocked him out with a punch
Bonnie looked at unconscious father than at Mason "How the hell did you knock out my father? I could've just given him an aneurysm"
Looking down Mason just shook his sore hand and looked back to Bonnie "Sorry Bonnie but I don't want you pushing yourself with magic and besides I've been wanting to knock your father out for a long time and so I guess it all kind of built up in that punch"
Bonnie couldn't help but chuckle and said "Well we better tie him up before he wakes up" Mason nodded as the two walked into the room stepping over the knocked out David Bennett.
"To break the curse you need to make sacrifices" David started
"Who?" she asked stepping closer to her dad
"A Petrova doppelganger, a vampire, a witch and..." David paused and turned to Mason and said
"Last but not least a werewolf"
Bonnie's breathing began to quicken as she listed off out loud "Elena, Caroline, Lucy and..."
"Me" Mason finished Bonnie's sentence keeping control of his anger of the fact that Katherine really was using him
Bonnie looked to her father angrily "You set them all up!"
David shrugged his shoulders not caring "Well Lucy was easy Katherine and I waited until Lucy just came into her powers then I set up situation where I came and caused trouble with her and then..."
"Katherine sweeps in saves her and Lucy has to pay up her side of the debt to Katherine even if she doesn't what that debt was! Does that sound right to you dad?"
Ignoring his daughter's protesting against his acts he looked to Mason and said proudly "You Lockwood... well Katherine liked you so what better way to get you to help her by making you fall in love with her. Getting you to break your curse was easy, just compel your friend and you smash his head against the ground"
Bonnie quickly stood in front of Mason knowing what her father was doing "Stop Mason, it's not worth killing him trust me"
"It means if you actually lived by the Xavier code you would be a stronger witch by now" David stated to his daughter only to receive a glare and a sarcastic response waving her hands up in motion
"Oh of course and become a cold-hearted bastard like you" her eyes now sneering at her father
"Better that, than being a weak human. You don't realize how powerful you could've been if your Grams and mother let you practice your black magic"
Bonnie pointed a finger at him snapping at her father "Don't you dare blame them dad! You know I lose all humanity side of me if I delve into that crap!"
"You know what I'm saying is true Bonnie! You may call yourself a Bennett but you and I know you will always have that dark side in you... the stronger side... the Xavier side..."
"Arghhhhhhh!" she screamed snatching the wolfsbane out of Mason's gloved hand and in one quick motion Bonnie had one hand around her father's neck and the other hand held the wolfsbane towards his eyes. David smirked seeing Bonnie's eyes no longer green but pitched black
"Bonnie!" Mason yelled out as the room began to shake but he received no response
"I dare you Bonnie⦠do it" David taunted his daughter. The pitched black eyed witch grip around her father's neck and around the wolfsbane tightened. Inside she was battling an internal battle of trying to resist the urge to kill not only her father but anyone in her way
Bonnie snapped out of her staring contest with her father as she and Mason turned to look at the door than Bonnie looked back to her father "Who is it?" she asked lowly
"Someone who will help me" David simply said
"Us" he corrected his sentence
"You're still the bad guy" Bonnie said turning to face the door she calmed herself ready to use magic, but Mason put down the wolfsbane and stood in front of Bonnie
"Me first" he said protectively in the tone that left no time for Bonnie to argue with him
Approaching the door Mason he opened it to reveal a suited man... no... a vampire he could smell the strong scent off him. With a squared jaw and short brown hair only a little longer in the front for side bangs he looked to be a little older than Mason
"Hello you must be Mason, nice to meet you. I see David is a little tied up. Hello again David" the strange vampire said
"Come in Elijah" David said from the chair
"And you must be the beautiful Bonnie Bennett" Elijah said looking at Bonnie in curiosity of the young witch and before all could finishing blinking their eyes, Elijah was now standing in front of Bonnie
She should be throwing this person across the room but she felt frozen in her spot and unable to perform a simple spell. Maybe it was his good looks that struck her frozen or the fact that the aura she felt off him scared her it was much more powerful than Katherine's aura. She shivered under the scrutiny of his eyes trailing over her face, her cheekbones, her lips then his eyes landed on her neck.
"Stay the hell away from her" David and Mason yelled out as Mason stepped forward pulling Bonnie towards him to stand behind him
Elijah smirked and turned to face David stating "Quite a beautiful girl she has grown up to be"
David growled from his chair "Now lets get down to business. You tell me that you have what is needed to break the spell?" Elijah questioned now standing in front of David
Tilting his head up slightly David nodded "Yes except the change of plans for a witch as Lucy is now dead"
"What?" Bonnie exclaimed
"Ahhh yes tragic really car crash on her way home... died instantly" Elijah said not
Bonnie's eyes widened in shock as Mason wrapped his arms around her. Bonnie began to take quick breaths to calm herself from breaking down upon hearing her cousin's death.
"My wife is a witch all Bonnie has to do is unbind her magic"
Bonnie's eyes angrily looks to her father moving forward but is held back by Mason "You bastard! You are willing to sacrifice your wife... your wife. My mother!" she yelled out while trying to fight out of Mason's grasp who was resisting to let go of Bonnie and rip apart David Bennett
"Katherine is still in the tomb?" Elijah asked David
"Yes" he answered
"Good" Elijah says and then stretches his hand out cutting into David's skin. The vampire grasps his hand around the important organ and pulls the heart out and tosses it out like a rag doll
"No!" Bonnie screams out breaking out of Mason's grip that loosens from shock of what he just witnessed
Before Bonnie could do anything Elijah had sped out of the room leaving a shocked Mason Lockwood, a distraught Bonnie Bennett and very much dead David Bennett.
Holding up a finger he said "I just have to say something"
"Why do you have to say it with my necklace?" Elena asked a little scared
Damon frowned thinking of the speech he had prepared in his mind "Because what I'm about to say is probably the most selfish thing I've ever said in my life"
Elena sighed already knowing what he was going to say and frankly at the moment she didn't have the energy to hear it "Damon don't go there" she said tiredly
Holding his back in defence he said "I just have to say it once... you just need to hear it"
Elena stared at him in silence already know there really was no point telling Damon Salvatore to not do something.
Taking the silence to continue Damon began his little speech "I love you Elena and it's because I love you I can't be selfish with you and why you can't know this. I don't deserve you, but my brother does"
Elena stared at Damon in shock thinking of words that wouldn't hurt his feelings but she couldn't her breath hitched feeling Damon's hand caress her cheek it was different feel to it "God I wish you didn't have to forget this... but you do" Damon said as his pupil dilated and a tear dropped as he compelled Elena Gilbert to forget his speech
A rush of wind awoke Elena from her state of daze she looked down surprised to see her vervain necklace around her neck. Looking up she found she was alone in the room but the window open. Rushing to the window to close it missing the sight of Damon Salvatore watching her than speeding off for someplace to drown his sorrows in hope to forget what he just did.
'Damn he's kinda cute' Caroline thought only to blink her eyes to shake that thought leaning forward looking into his eyes her pupils dilated and so began the compelling
"You never saw any of us come earlier. You will only remember us coming into this inn now and will let us go to David Bennett's room when we ask of him"
"You only came into this inn now and I will allow you all to David Bennett's room" he repeated
"Excellent" Caroline smiled waiting for the guy to return to his normal state
"Oh hi- Welcome to the Homestead Studio Suites. My name is Steven, how may I help you?" Steven asked the three individuals in front of him but eyed the two beautiful girls in front of him
"What room is David Bennett's room in?" Mason asked
"First floor room 13" Steven said
"Thank you" Caroline smiled grabbing Bonnie's hand in comfort the trio made their way to David's room.
Caroline knocked then turned the knob as they found David's dead body on the floor with his heart ripped out and laid not far from him
Caroline let out a shrilling scream while Mason turned Bonnie hugging her not wanting her to see David's dead body again for once was enough. Steven and some of the guest woke up following the scream only for more commotions to erupt
Steven's eyes widened at the bloody scene in front of him feeling vomit creep up his throat running to David's bathroom he threw up.
"I'm calling nine, one, one" a random guest yelled out
Steven came out after throwing up seeing the person on their cell phone calling the police he told the rest of the guests to go back to their rooms and be awake when the police comes.
"Get me some blood and leave it at the entrance of the tombs than leave please." Bonnie asked Caroline with pleading eyes
Shaking her head "Bonnie, no. You just lost your dad, you are not talking to Katherine"
"My dad is dead. Katherine knows more to his death and I'm going to get it out of her. You can either help me or I will find blood bags myself" Bonnie said angrily scaring Caroline a little of this different side of Bonnie
"I'll get the blood but Bonnie..." Caroline paused seeing the dullness in her best friend's eyes
"Come back to me please. I can't lose you" the blonde vampire begged waiting searching for any bright sign of her best friend alive in this numb person
"What happened? Daddy wasn't as expected" she teased leaning against the wall of the tomb her arms crossing over her chest
"He's dead. A vampire named Elijah killed him" Bonnie snapped out feeling the anger build within her. Right now wanting answers was stopping Bonnie from delving into her dark side and just take care of her anger by killing Katherine
"What?" Katherine said shocked standing up straighter and Bonnie spotted fear in this so call fearless vampire
Bonnie dropped the black bag with a thump. She crouched to the bag's level and zipped open the bag and pulled a bag of blood out.
Standing up Bonnie watched Katherine's eyes subconsciously lick her lips her eyes greedily eyeing the blood bag
"I think you and I need to have a little talk" Bonnie said holding the bag in her hand and tossed it into the tomb for Katherine to catch with such ease
"What do you want to know Bennett?" Katherine asked smirking at the young witch with a small trace of respect from Katerina Pertova to Bonnie Bennett
Damon sighed tiredly opening the front door to his house only to freeze once seeing not only Stefan but the back of a woman... the very same woman that kidnapped Elena.
Before Stefan could say anything Damon had her against the wall with his hands tightly around Rose's neck
The ringing of Stefan's phone broke the tension within the room as Stefan took out his phone while eyeing Damon and Rose
Before accepting the call he told Damon "It's okay... let her go"
Damon's angry eyes twitched from Stefan's order but reluctantly let go of Rose and eavesdropped into Stefan's conversation
"Tyler?" Stefan said surprised of who was on the other line
"It's Bonnie, Stefan. I would call Caroline but I don't want her to see this side of Bonnie and I think you are the only one that might be able to get through to her or in this case get to her quicker since vampire speed can beat car speed" Tyler wryly chuckled
Damon walked towards Stefan frowning from what Tyler had just said "Where is she Tyler?" Stefan asked
"Something bad just happened and she went to the tombs. She's angry Stefan but nobody has seen this side of her but me which is why I called you hoping that maybe you might get through to her"
Damon shook his head pointing to Rose and back to Stefan "You deal with her and I'll get to the witch"
"Bonnie?" Tyler's voiced was heard coming down the stairs
Damon, Bonnie and Katherine looked towards the stairs then Katherine looked to Bonnie asking "Does your buddy Tyler know that it's back? I mean do you really think he'll stick around and save you...again"
Bonnie eyes flashed black and Damon's eyes widened seeing Katherine begin to choke up- inside the tomb!
"Kill...me lit...little witch...ya know...E...lijah...will...be...af-ter you" Katherine said within gasps of air collapsing to her knees with her hands around her neck
Damon quickly turned Bonnie around only to freeze seeing her eyes pitch black. Shaking his shock he grasped her shoulders and bending his knees a little to be eye-leveled with her, he shook her "Stop it!"
"Why? She deserves it!" she yelled out angrily
"It's not you Bonnie! This is not you!" Damon yelled back hoping to slap some sense into Bonnie because he was kind of fearing this side of Bonnie
It seemed to helped because the blackness began to fade and Katherine seemed to be gaining air "It's not you" Damon repeated quietly for Bonnie to hear
Her green eyes stared into his blue eyes and then the tears began to fall and for the second time this week she'd broken down in front of Damon Salvatore. Gathering her close he wrapped his arms around and placed his chin on top of her head while his hands ran up and down her back in comfort while he let her tears fall onto his shirt
"Bon?" Tyler's voice disturbed their moment [which Damon did not like one bit]
Bonnie turned her head to see Tyler and ran to him who held his arms open then close around his best friend
Damon watched in a little bit of jealousy of Tyler comforting Bonnie whispering in her ears he heard
"I heard about your dad...we'll get through this Bon I promise you" Tyler said running one hand up and down her right shoulder blade knowing it calms her down. He looked up to see Damon staring at them whispering to Bonnie while glaring at Damon in distrust
Bonnie nodded tearfully as Tyler wrapped his arms around her and led her up the stairs. Damon glared at the retreating figures and looked to the tomb. Sighing he walked to closing the door ignoring the recovered Katherine on the floor
"I know you have always been a sucker for damsels in distress... I mean me, Elena and now..." Katherine chuckled than seriously asked
"Damon, do you seriously think you could actually have something with Bonnie?"
"Huh?" Damon said confused causing Katherine to laugh furthermore to the absurdity of the idea
"You don't see it?" she asked
"See what?" he asked frustrated causing her to smirk, that smirk of hers when she knew something that they didn't know [which was all the time].
Standing up she shook her head "Close the door because I know it will be opening again when you guys need my help."
"You wish and FYI her name is Bonnie Bennett to you but to me she's little witch. Only I call her little witch" Damon said sternly to her
Katherine chuckled and stated while walking away further into the tomb "Thank Bonnie for the blood"
Shaking off Katherine's words Damon grasped the tomb door and locked it back into place. He picked up Bonnie's black bag and instead of speeding out he took his time walking up the stairs with Katherine's words now rattling his brain
"...do you seriously think you could actually be with Bonnie?"
Not that Damon was thinking of being with Bonnie or anything, but he couldn't help but wonder in his mind 'What was wrong with the idea of him being with Bonnie?'
Chapter 6- I shall believe
That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
2 weeks later...Sunday
Denial...
*Lockwood residence...5am*
Mason awoke to find his side of the bed empty. Frowning he got out of bed grabbing his grey t-shirt on the way out of his bedroom, he made his way downstairs. Quietly he passed the dining room walking further down the path that lead to the light in kitchen seen through the bottom of the closed door.
He placed his ear lightly against the door and hears her muffled cries on the other side. Closing his eyes he let out a sigh then took a deep breath and opened the door slowly to find Amelia Bennett dressed in her usual big t-shirt and shorts for her pjs. She was sipping a cup of something leaning against the door frame leading to the Lockwood backyard
Mason watched her for a few more seconds than made his way towards her leaning on the other side of the door frame
"Green tea?" Mason guessed surprising her. Looking briefly to him she looked back to her cup and finished the rest of the liquid
"Yeah well it was green tea" she said quietly sniffing back her tears she turned away from him making her way to the sink
"Am..." Mason started
"I'm okay" Amelia said sternly switching on the water and began to wash her cup
Shaking his head frustrated he walked towards her and stood beside her, he looked down to her "No you're not. For almost two weeks you have been telling me you are okay but you're not. David died and you haven't dealt with it let alone talked about it"
Mason watched Amelia scrub the cup harder refusing to look at him. Mason reached out to stop her but in reflex she quickly retreated, her hands away from his touch dropping the cup in her actions she moved back
"I'm okay Mason! Okay! You're just making a big deal of a small situation" Amelia exclaimed mixing her tone with a fake laugh switching off the tap
"Small? Seriously!" Mason gaped at her in shock
Gritting her teeth in anger she said frustrated feeling the walls around her closing "Just go! I'm okay! Just please I can't..." she began to hyperventilate gripping the sides of the sink. Mason moved to comfort her but stepped away from him
"Go" she said strongly to him. Attempting again to comfort her Amelia pushed him back
"Go!" she yelled at him feeling the tears prick her eyes
Feeling helpless in the situation he turned to walk out of the kitchen. Mason paused at the door and turned to face Amelia who was back to gripping the sink taking deep breaths to calm herself down
"He's gone Amelia. You're going have to face the truth that David's not coming back" he said softly and left Amelia alone in the kitchen.
Amelia stared down the sink but not really taking anything into sight as her visions were blurred by her tears. Taking quick short breaths to calm herself again she felt the walls...the guilt she was feeling was closing in on her.
"He's gone Amelia' the words passed through her mind
"No!" she yelled out throwing the cup across the kitchen banging against the wall and she watched the object shatter into pieces
Choking up in her tears she took a deep breath and calmly let out a broken cry as her eyes dropped back down to the broken pieces of the cup.
Mason opened the door to be met with Amelia's darken lifeless brown eyes "I think I said for you to go" she said eerily calm
Ignoring the chills from Amelia's tone, Mason looked to the broken cup "Leave I'll clean it. Now go!" she said loudly. Not replying back to her; Mason walked back out of the kitchen back up to his room unsure if Amelia was going to join him in ignorance of the reality or go back to her room for she maybe soon reaching the breaking point of this reality and realise that David is dead.
*Meanwhile... Bonnie's room of Lockwood residence*
Bonnie stared at the ceiling sighing in the silence of her room while the muffled yells of Mason and her mother could be heard
"Mason got her" Bonnie thought not bothering to move when she heard a crashing sound. She would've gotten up to check on her mother but these past few weeks with her dad's death, the ways to break the curse and the main idea that Katherine revealed that her mother was involved was enough to send Bonnie to be messed up and avoiding her mother.
Closing her eyes for a few seconds she let out a shaky tired breath. Tired. Numb. Mostly tired was what Bonnie has been feeling since her father's death She was just tired of her life but most of all she was tired from secrets that was held tight lipped in not only Mystic Falls but in her own family. Her father keeping a secret didn't surprise Bonnie, but her Grams and her mother not telling her more about her powers
'I thought they told me everything' Bonnie bitterly thought turning to her side in hope to get some sleep but her anger, her questions have been stopping her from doing so. Finally there was silence in the Lockwood house allowing Bonnie to close her eyes and sleep in her thoughts.
Tyler stood in front of her door and as quiet as he could he turned the door knob and stuck his head through the crack to find her asleep. He's been wanting to talk to her these past weeks and she does talk to him but avoids the subject of what really happened or more so what David said to her before this Elijah vampire killed him. Moving back out he quietly closed the door not knowing that Bonnie opened her eyes as soon as he left.
Anger...
*David Bennett's wake at the Lockwood residence...12pm*
"So how has Bonnie been?" Caroline asked Tyler while eyeing Bonnie along with Damon, Stefan, Elena and Jeremy. All watching Bonnie dressed in a black a thin strap dress that fell to her knees with black stilettos to match. She stood at the front door shaking hands with those who came as they offer their condolences to her in which she would respond with a nod and the word 'thanks'
"She's talking but not about that night. She keeps telling me that she's fine but I know she's not okay because something happened that night"
"Yeah, her dad died" Damon inputed causing a glare from all four individuals. He shrugged off the glares and continued to eye the witch in curiousity
"What are you even doing here? You didn't know David and you are sure as hell not friends with Bonnie" Tyler said lowly in anger looking to Damon
"Well you sure under estimate my friendship with the little witch. Looks like she doesn't tell you everything" Damon challenged Tyler causing him to growl
Stefan stepped between his brother and Tyler looking to Tyler "Don't lose your temper here. It's about Bonnie today"
Breaking the heated stare from Damon he looked to Stefan and chuckled "Wow first time I hear you say that... no wait from all of you. The fact that you are all worried about Bonnie's concern and you actually all sound truthful. Hell must have frozen over" Tyler said followed with a scoff leaving them all a little shock from Tyler's words
"Hey" Bonnie said softly and couldn't help a small smile grace her face seeing Matt Donovan stepping towards her
"Hey I would say I'm sorry but from my experience those were the two words that drove me to insanity"
Bonnie giggled from the truth of his statement as the blonde jock hugged his friend "How are you holding up? Good days and bad days?"
She closed her eyes from the comfort of his hug nodding into his shoulders she couldn't help but feel a little safe from someone she knew letting a sigh of relief she looked to him a little teary "Yeah you know I just..." she became speechless of words to explain what she was feeling and she knew Tyler would understand but she had forgotten that Matt too had been in her shoes recently and she felt the guilt of forgetting her friend.
"We have an hour till the wake starts and I spoke to Tyler earlier about you and I having a talk"
"What?" Bonnie said shocked
"Because I'm worried about you. You won't talk to me so I thought you might want to talk to Matt" Tyler said surprising Bonnie as he stood besides Bonnie
She looked to Tyler than to Matt "Guys I don't need to talk, I just need to get through this day and keep moving forward I don't have time to sit around talking about feelings"
Matt shook his head taking Bonnie's hand "One hour. You and me. Not taking no for an answer" he said stubbornly
"I don't know whether I want to hit you guys or hug you both" Bonnie mumbled causing Matt and Tyler to smile as Matt grabbed her hand led her through the house with the curious eyes of Elena, Jeremy, Caroline and the Salvatore brothers following them.
Not even bothering to tell of his leaving Damon moved to leave but not without Stefan's warning tone "Damon..."
He turned to face the crew stating "What I'm just doing is what everybody wants to do. That is to eavesdrop on the conversation between my little witch and blondie boy" he finished and left before anybody could input
"Did he just say my little witch?" Jeremy questioned out loud
Stefan was about to explain of his older brother's weird habits of treating people as possession when he saw Caroline eye where Matt and Bonnie walked
"Caroline..."
"What? I think we are all curious?" the blonde exclaimed
"Damon is already eavesdropping I don't think Bonnie needs us all butting in her lives" Elena explained to Caroline
Caroline quickly turned to Elena and said loudly between them "That's exactly what she needs because from these past couple of weeks and more I've found out that I never really knew Bonnie and her messed up family"
"Are you sure this sudden urge to eavesdrop has nothing to do with the fact that Bonnie is talking to Matt?" Stefan asked
"Okay so maybe a little but Bonnie never returned any of my calls and she didn't want to see me when I visited her, this is the first time I've seen her so I want to know how she's feeling because you guys did not see her that night. Something changed in her...died in her"
"Her dad died Care" Elena said quietly
"I know! When her Grams died she came back to us but with stronger walls but she was still Bonnie the girl that would drop everything to help us" Caroline tried to explain what she saw to her friends
"What are you trying to say Caroline?" Jeremy asked confused
Looking to the young Gilbert on his question she turned to look at Stefan and Elena "I think we're going to lose Bonnie" Caroline said scared
*Lockwood backyard...12:05pm*
Damon in his black suited pants and black collared shirt walked through the crowd walking down the stairs while he took a sip of his glass of scotch he had grabbed through his journey. His eyes zeroed on the targets that were away from the crowds in the backyard. Eyeing the backyard he zeroed his hearing senses towards Matt Donovan and Bonnie Bennett.
"So either talk now or Tyler and I are going to keep bugging you to talk" Matt teased her bumping shoulders with her
"Seriously you're going with that threat?" she raised an eyebrow at him
Matt shrugged his shoulders "Hey it's not like I'm a mind reader..."
Bonnie chuckled awkwardly on the idea that if he was; he would fit into the craze of Mystic Falls "...but I do know how you feel." he said almost knowingly
Bonnie scoffed highly doubting... sure his sister died [not that he knew she was a vampire] but he didn't know so he wouldn't understand her situation
"Lost in questions, angry at the world, feel the urge to punch something..." Matt began rattling off causing Bonnie to blink in surprise but chuckled in her head that maybe Matt did know what she was feeling it just goes to show no matter the situation or the person... Death was death.
"Actually I have the urge to punch and scream" Bonnie added quietly
"It's okay to feel those feelings Bon... it's normal to"
Bonnie scoffed again "Normal? My whole life isn't normal"
Placing an arm around her shoulder Bonnie naturally let her head fall on his shoulders. Matt placed a friendly chaste kiss on the top of her head "When has any of our lives been normal"
Bonnie closed her eyes taking another deep breath to calm herself before speaking "I never got to say goodbye to him"
Lifting her head up to look to Matt opening up a little to her thoughts "I never told him how .thankful I was for him"
"He knows Bonnie" Matt assured her but Bonnie shook her head feeling the tears she took another deep breath to ward off the tears
"No. No he doesn't" she said letting her head fall back into his shoulders letting a lone tear fall while tears pricked Matt's eyes his heart going out to his friend.
Rubbing his hands up and down her shoulders in comfort he whispers "I know right now it feels like your world is falling apart but it's not. It'll get better you know why..."
Bonnie lifted her head up to look to Matt in wonder of his answers "Why?" she whispers back to him
"Because you're Bonnie Bennett because whatever life throws at you... you always get through it and come out a stronger woman, but because you take care of everybody...now, it's time for us to take of you"
Bonnie shook her head as realization seems to hit her "I'm not Bonnie Bennett"
Matt looked to his friend confused as she answered his confusion "I'm Bonnie Bennett Xavier" sitting up straighter she smiled a little her friend
"It's time I start living my true name like my dad wanted me to"
*Meanwhile...Amelia's room in the Lockwood residence*
Amelia ran a piece of her hair behind her ear as she looked through the top drawer of her bedside table that held her speech for the wake. Sighing in relief she pulled out her papered speech and slowly sat on her bed. She stared at the typed words and gulped at the realizations of the reality. Before her emotions could take a toll on her a knock disrupted her moment
"Come in" Amelia said in a shaky voice
Mason popped his head through the door to find a scared Amelia "I can't do this" she immediately said
Mason entered the room closing the door "Yes you can" he said walking towards her taking a seat beside her
Amelia looked to Mason shaking her head standing up she began pacing up and down in panic "No I can't. I can't go up there and say this speech that was Carol Lockwood approved by lying to the people of Mystic Falls that my husband who I was planning divorce, was a great man. He wasn't... he was a liar, an asshole, an ignorant bastard and DESPITE all of that somewhere in my heart still loved him and... and now..." she froze in ranting pace shaking from words, Mason stood up and engulfed her in a hug. Mason felt Amelia's body shake in his arms and she began to cry pulling back she looked up to him
"Now he's... He's gone...and I don't... don't know what to feel" Amelia chuckled sorely through her tears
Not knowing what to say he hugged his best friend and asked "Did you want me to tell everyone to leave"
Amelia shook her head placing her hand on his chest she looked up to him "No. Everyone came to pay their respects to the man that they believed David to be and besides Carol worked hard in helping me organize this so I just..." she took a deep breath
"Just go in there say the speech and get through this day" Amelia finished
"Are you sure?" Mason asked looking to Amelia who shrugged her shoulders
"No, but when have I ever been sure" she said in weak joking tone
*Knock Knock*
Mason and Amelia pulled away slightly as Amelia asked "Who is it?"
"It's Carol sweetie. Just letting you know that we are going to start soon"
"Okay I'll be down in a second" Amelia responded loudly to the closed door
"Okay" Carol responded back. Mason walked past Amelia than turned to look to her holding out his hand he asked
"You ready?"
Grabbing her speech off her bed she took his hand not responding to his question for it was her action that was the answer he needed.
*Half an hour later... 1:30pm*
Amelia took a deep breath looking to the crowd her eyes landed on Bonnie who had been avoiding her the past two weeks it was then Amelia took a sharp intake of breath seeing the change in Bonnie not physically but the aura. Even without her magic Amelia had always been able to pick out witch's aura and right now her daughter's was swimming in a darker territory. Shaking her head mentally of loosing focus she looked to the crowd and began her speech
"Good afternoon and thank you all for coming to pay your respects to my husband, David Bennett. My husband, David Bennett was a wonderful man, a wonderful husband and a wonderful father..."
Bonnie couldn't take it anymore sitting here pretending that everything was okay or pretend that she was okay with her mother right now lying through her teeth about what she felt about her father. Not caring that she might look like dramatic girl in front of the town because frankly if she sat here any more longer she felt like she could scream and there might be a chance she was going to let loose of her powers. Bonnie stood up and being in the front row everyone could see her walking off causing Amelia to pause in her speech.
Tyler stood up eyeing Amelia silently that he was going after her and walked out of the house after her. Despite everybody's curiosity of where Bonnie was going they all knew they had to stand still well everyone despite Damon Salvatore who was standing at the back had sped out before anyone noticed.
*Front of the Lockwood residence*
"Seriously?" Tyler yelled out loud enough for Bonnie, who turned to face Tyler meeting her at the bottom of the stairs
"I can't sit there Tyler, and pretend that everything is alright! Because it's not!"
"Yeah well suck it up because that's the least you can do for your mum"
"She's lying Tyler! About dad"
"Yeah well for people like us we have to lie to keep the order of society balanced"
Bonnie scoffed shaking her head she ran her hands through her hair tiredly "I don't care she can lie to everyone for all I care but she lied to me"
"What are you talking about?"
"Everything Tyler" Bonnie began to walk away but Tyler grabbed her elbow turning her
"Bonnie you're not making sense"
"I'm sorry I can't..." she said pulling away as Tyler's eyes widened to see Bonnie's eyes easily turn pitch black and then she disappeared
"Oh no" Tyler whispered
"Don't worry I have a couple ideas of where she might be" Damon said and sped off before Tyler could say anything.
Tyler sighed rubbing his forehead tiredly letting out a scared breath of what he just saw. She promised him she was never going to use dark magic but she did in front of him like it was second nature to her and that was not a good thing because last time she touched dark magic was the time Tyler swore he had lost his best friend forever. Turning to face his house he began to walk up the stairs his hearing taking in the sound of Amelia's voice mixing with the silence. He knew he had to tell Amelia what he saw and they need to stop Bonnie before she pull away from everyone for good.
*Backyard of Bennett residence...1:40pm*
Bonnie closed her eyes as she laid against the grass letting the soft winds calm her. The natural smell of the freshly cut grass filled her nose...words would be hard to describe that moment of calmness it was strange but it was when she was around nature that she noticed her senses were more aware and brought memories to her. For Bonnie Bennett the smells of nature reminded her of her childhood playing in the park. That sweet leafy smell on an autumn day when the leaves would pile up and being the eccentric child she was at the time, she would just jump in that pile of leaves... that was freedom to her... that was when the world made sense to her. Bonnie opened her eyes to stare into the blue sky and let out an airy sigh for those few moments she had thought that all of this was not real and that she really was back to that six year old girl she was, just hanging out with her parents at the park and just having fun.
"Who knew good girl Bonnie would just up and leave her father's wake" the familiar male voice disturbed quietness
"Can I really wake up now?" Bonnie thought rolling her eyes at the fact that Damon was disturbing her peace
Damon walked towards the witch who was now sitting up on her elbow looking to him very annoyed. Damon couldn't help but smirk at the dress she was wearing had ridden up a little as his tongue wet his dry bottom lip upon the sight of Bonnie's slight tussled hair
"What do you want Damon?" she asked him annoyed
Damon shrugged stating in a teasing tone "Well... I thought I follow you in case you want a shoulder to cry on again since it always seems to be me" he ended with a smirk causing the witch to scoff at him.
Standing up she picked up her heels and brushed the small cuts of grass off the back of her dress than declared crossly at him "You are such a jackass you know that"
He sniggered at the instant fury ignited from the witch which just evoked him to poke the angry witch further more with his infamous smirks and witty words "Indeed I am what else is new about me... that I don't already know"
Bonnie clenched her jaw holding back her anger that was just doubling inside her, gripping tightly to her heels she knew anymore words from Damon just might make her do something she'd regret. Gathering the small side of her that told her to walk away helped her move her legs to walk past Damon without a word leaving her mouth
Damon frowned from the silent witch reaching out to grab her elbow he turned her lightly to him "I'm kidding little witch" he grinned a small grin at her
Her green eyes darken quickly feeling her anger push through her pulling her arm out of his grasp roughly "Don't call me that!" she yelled at him and walked away from him
"What... little witch" he called out to her in that teasing tone he knew would anger her more
Freezing in her walk she whipped her head letting her long brown hair move with the air her eyes narrowed at him "That name!" Stop calling me little witch" she exclaimed angrily stepping towards him
"Frankly I can call you whatever the hell I want to call you..." Damon began
Bonnie closed he eyes calming herself but it was that split second that moment when your mind, your body have been stretched so much like an elastic band and it was now on the verge of snapping... and the dark-skinned witch was at that snapping point. Her mind began to feel hazy while her hands began to quiver in the anger that she had bottled up for so long, the temperature in her body began to rise. Damon's teasing voice began to sound like it was drifting away from her or was she the one drifting away? "You're lucky I'm not calling you a little bit...ahhhhhhh!"
Damon clenched his eyes tightly shut and gripped his head from the exploding aneurysm that was stronger than any other he had felt while feeling parts of his skin beginning to tear like someone holding a knife and just slicing his hands over and over while his brain exploded over and over. Falling to his knees his head shook trying to look up as his eye lids lifted to catch a glimpse of Bonnie standing there again with her eyes pitched black and it looked like she wasn't going to stop "Ahhhhhh Bonnie! Stop!" he pleaded
His pleading in those split seconds was what brought Bonnie back to reality to letting Damon go "Oh my gosh I'm sorry" she immediately said looking to the vampire on the floor who was now slowly getting up and she caught a glimpse of small cuts from his hands healing
"I can't be that powerful?" Bonnie thought scared of herself and her powers
Damon stood up straighter to show she didn't weaken him and he let out a quiet relief seeing her eyes to be that forest green colour that seemed to make the little witch stand out more than what she believed.
Shaking off his unexpected thoughts on Bonnie's eyes "What was that?" he asked stepping towards her slowly- not because he was still shaking off the pain... no, Damon was much stronger than that.
Ignoring Damon's faltering a little in his steps she took a quick deep breath to shake off the fatigue sense she began to feel "Me just losing a bit of my temper it won't happen again" she told half of the truth- like she was actually going to tell Damon that she may have just used dark magic on Damon
Damon shook his head angrily pointing his finger accusing her "No your eyes just went..."
Bonnie couldn't help but feel a sense of pride of her powers wash over her [even it was dark magic] "No nothing happened I just did an aneurysm to you" she said smirking with one eyebrow raised secretly challenging him
He saw her eyebrow cock up with her challenging look and a challenge he'd always accept without a second thought he stepped towards her now less an inch away from her, she could feel his cool yet heated breath hit her face as he spoke in that curious voice "Well your eyes was pitched black... And you never hit me that strong"
Was that pride she heard in his tone? Or was that her own thoughts? No... it was her own it was like watching a movie in her mind as it flashed to those few seconds of lashing out within her. Her emotions were connecting to the darker powers and as much as she wanted to deny it she couldn't. She enjoyed the darker power and just how much stronger she felt even if she hasn't be able to control it or herself
'Maybe using darker magic might not be so bad' Bonnie thought darkly as her alluring green eyes flickered to Damon's mesmerizing blue eyes causing her to bite her bottom lips.
Damon felt his senses freeze seeing Bonnie stand a little on her toes it was like everything was in slow motion all he had to do was dip his head down a little and his lips would meet hers, but ever so graceful she turned her head to the side of his face and it was those lips that whispered teasingly in his ear "Well, maybe you need to drink more blood from the blood bank" she moved her head back smirking a little and walked back a little than turned to leave.
Shaking his head Damon didn't need her having the last words not if he could help it. He sped to her instantly in front of her causing Bonnie eyes to narrow angrily at Damon for not letting this conversation go as he said "Or maybe you need to tell me..."
Not wanting to hear more like second nature to her she flicked her wrists watching Damon fly away from her "I don't need to tell you anything" she pointed out chuckling a little
Damon's eyes widened still not used to seeing this side of Bonnie... this darker, eviler side of her. Her eyes returned to its' natural color but her state was anything but normal because once she stopped using her powers she felt the tiredness motion hit her like bricks.
"Damon..." she whispered scared of the sudden weakness that enveloped her in that moment and in that instant he was by her side as she passed out in his arms. Damon looked down to her worriedly as he lifted her bridal style; he stared at her for awhile and it was then he noticed the burnout look on her face was gone. Grabbing her heels with Bonnie in his arms, Damon sped off to the Salvatore Boarding house for his little witch to recuperate.
*Salvatore boarding house*
With Bonnie in his arms he opened the front door of the house walking in to only hear footsteps of Rose
"I was wondering when you were...oh my gosh?" she exclaimed in worry for the passed out girl in Damon's arms
"Rose this is Bonnie Bennett"
"The Bennett witch?" Rose says impressed finishing tying the knot to her silky bedroom robe
"Yeah yeah I need to get her to my room" Damon says hastily causing Rose to chuckle from Damon's sentence but she saw he was in too much worry that he didn't notice as he sped to his bedroom and carefully placed her on his big bed.
Damon sensed Rose was now behind him looking at Bonnie in curiosity "What happened?" Rose asked placing a hand on his shoulders in hope to rid of his worries
Damon shrugged his shoulders not taking his eyes off Bonnie "Her eyes turned black and than she fainted" he explained briefly
"Really?" Rose said in her surprised English accent
Damon frowned a little and turned his head a little to look behind him to her "Yeah, really. Why do you sound so surprised?"
"From what I've heard about her or so far the little information from my eavesdropping she doesn't seem to be the type of girl to dabble in dark magic but..." Rose paused staring at Bonnie feeling a sense of understanding
Rose's quietness alerted Damon to turn around fully face the female vampire with his arms across his chest with one eyebrow raised in curiosity "But..."
Rose's eyes flickered to Damon's curious face "But given what she has been through I'm not surprised." she said briefly now staring down to Bonnie holding back her thirst for the witch's blood as she studied the young teenage girl saying in reflection
"She must be bottling up all that anger in there but she's forgetting that she's not only human but a witch too, and human emotions can be powerful with a witch's power" her voice now reduced to silence she turned to Damon
"She needs to control her powers or she'll end up like the witches I've seen that have dived into black magic they not only become danger to their family and society but they become danger to themselves especially when they don't have a tight leash on their powers"
Damon took in Rose's words not wanting to show any signs of worry which would lead to more confusing questions and ideas. "Watch her I've got to call Stefan"
"Carry on" Rose said motioning with her hands of dismissing him out of his own room. Damon rolled his eyes and sped downstairs to call Stefan to let him know about Bonnie.
*Lockwood residence house*
Stefan nodded listening to Damon quickly summarize what happened with Bonnie and why she was resting at their house
"Ok well the wake is still going I think they have one more speaker than Carol will just sum it up according to the book" Stefan explained briefly eyeing the inside than turned to look out to the front entrance yard of the Lockwood
"I'll tell Amelia after the wake" Stefan said then his goodbyes and hung up only to already sense Tyler coming towards him
He turned around to face Tyler and said "She's okay. Damon said she used too much power and passed out"
"What?" Tyler exclaimed making a move inside to grab the car keys and go but Stefan stopped him his hand grasping his shoulders. Stefan turned Tyler letting his hand dropped he explained "Damon is with her. They are going to be okay but I think we should wait till this wake is over than tell Amelia what's going on"
Mentally slapping himself for thinking of running off Tyler nodded "Yeah it's almost done, mum shouldn't take that long in her ending speech"
Stefan nodded as the two boys walked back into the house ignoring the curious eyes of Amelia, Mason, Elena, Caroline and Jeremy. Tyler walking back to his seat glad it was at the end of the row but it was besides Mason who raised an eyebrow in curiosity but Tyler shook his head mouthing 'after'. Mason nodded and turned his attention to the current speaker who was speaking praises of David Bennett as a worker.
Stefan sat down besides Elena she asked in a whisper "Is Bonnie okay?"
Stefan turned his head slightly and nodded "Yeah she's okay. Damon got her"
Elena looked to him unsure wanting more out of his answers but Elena knew that Stefan would explain later but she still had an unsettling feeling in her stomach for her best friend's well-being and couldn't help but feel a little guilty of lately neglecting Bonnie.
Seeing the worried and guilty expression on his ex-girlfriend [who he was still in love with] he leaned forward hiding back a small smile from hearing Elena's heartbeat race and her breath hitch from the close proximity.
HIs mouth near her ears he whispers "I'll explain everything I promise"
Moving his head back he looked at Elena who nodded slightly and turned her head to try and pay attention to the speaker holding back the urge to look back at him. Stefan on the other hand was not paying attention to the speaker at all not when Elena was right besides him.
'Being near her is making it impossible for me to not kiss her now' he thought letting out a quiet heartbroken sigh
*After the wake, Lockwood office... 4pm*
Amelia closed the door finally glad that everyone had now left and Carol went upstairs to rest after all that organising
Turning to face Stefan, Elena, Caroline, Tyler and Mason she looked to Stefan "Has she awoken yet?"
Stefan shook his head crossing his arms over his chest as he leaned against the desk "No not..." Stefan paused feeling the vibration of his Iphone in his hand to see his brother's name appear. Holding a finger in the air motioning to answer Amelia nodded walking towards him only to stand next to him
"Yeah...okay I'll be there soon" Stefan replied then hung up
"Bonnie's awake still a bit hazy but she's okay" Stefan explained to Amelia from what he got from Damon's quick explanation before he rushed off to tend to Bonnie
"Okay take me to her and no you are not coming Tyler" Amelia said looking to Tyler who stood up from the arm of the chair ready to leave
He looked to her silently begging her to let him come but Amelia shook her head "No it's my turn to talk to her. Don't think I haven't noticed Bonnie avoiding me, she's angry and I need to know why; it's time we start dealing"
Tyler nodded obediently and sat back on the arm of the couch with Caroline looking up to him from the seat as she placed a comforting hand on his knees. Amelia walked to Tyler and placed her palm against the side of his face in a motherly comfort, she kissed him briefly on the forehead
"She's going to be okay" looking to Tyler who opened his eyes and nodded keeping a strong front of his emotions
Amelia smiled weakly and turned back to Stefan "Meet you out front?"
Stefan nodded leaving with Elena following after him "I'm coming with you"
"Elena, this is between Bonnie and I"
Elena turned to face Amelia "No disrespect Mrs. Bennett but Bonnie's my best friend and I want to see if she's okay"
Amelia knew she couldn't stop Elena and knew Tyler would not be pleased. Nodding she watched Elena and Stefan walk out of the office leaving Amelia to face Tyler and she was right
"Bonnie doesn't need so many people comforting her..." Amelia paused and looked to Caroline
"Sorry Caroline but could you..."
Caroline raised her hands back knowingly finishing Amelia's sentence "Not come. No problems, but please keep me informed?" she asked
"I'll ask Elena to do that for you" Amelia said then looked to find Tyler still with that annoyed looked when things didn't go his way. Amelia had to hold back a giggle as she remembered the many times she had seen that face on Tyler when he was younger. His eyebrow scrunched the middle, his eyes narrowed, his lips in a thin line and of course his arms across his chest in that childish manner.
"I know you want to go Ty but you and Mason have some talking to do" Amelia said eyeing the quiet Mason Lockwood who nodded walking to stand beside Amelia. Tyler looked between the two and began to unfold his arms accepting that response
"Time you learn what you'll become" Mason said to Tyler
"I'll stay..." Caroline offered but paused seeing Tyler look at her surprised as she shrugged her shoulders stuttering
"Well that's if... you know you don't...mind?" Mason looked to Amelia unsure but she waved him off looking to Caroline
"You can stay since you are involved in the supernatural world now honey" Amelia said to Caroline who smiled a little to Amelia's words for the way she said it made Caroline a little prouder to be a vampire.
Amelia sighed "Okay I'll leave you four and I'll let Elena know to keep you guys informed"
"Hey" Mason said grabbing Amelia's elbow causing her to turn slowly to face him. He hugged her catching her by surprise as he whispered in her ears
"It'll be okay" Amelia nodded quickly in his shoulder pulling away before the tears fell
"Thank you" she said quickly and left the room. Mason ran his hands through his brown curls worriedly of Amelia shutting herself to him again and turned to face his werewolf nephew and his vampire friend.
"So what do I need to know?" Tyler asked a little smugly looking up slightly to his uncle
*Salvatore boarding house, Damon's room...4:05pm*
Bonnie's eyes adjusted to the unfamiliar room she was in and looked to Damon who was offering her a glass of water. Still in silent she slowly sat up still feeling a little worn out but felt her energy restored. She accepted the glass swallowing the cold liquid and was surprised of how dry her throat was that she drank all the water in the glass. Licking her bottom lips she handed the glass back to Damon and eyed the female she wasn't familiar with
Almost knowing what she was thinking the female stranger stuck out her hand in introduction "My name is Rose"
Bonnie eyed the hand before sticking out her hand to the stranger while her other hand held her body up on the bed. Accepting Rose's hands the cold death vibe shot through her and something stronger hit her skin making Bonnie take a sharp intake of breath and pull her hand back as if burnt
"A vampire?" Bonnie said and Rose nodded causing Bonnie to look down to her hand that shook Rose's hand the ice cold numbness feeling she felt disappear. She looked to Rose who was now seated across her on the bed
"A very strong vampire" Bonnie whispered curious of the aura she felt from this female vampire almost more powerful than Katherine Pierce
"Yes I've been around for a very long...time. I'm going to guess you got that from my cold cold aura?" Rose asked.
Bonnie nodded sitting up more straighter against the head board she looked to Damon
"You okay?" she asked
Damon smirked a little "That didn't sound like an apology little..." but paused seeing Bonnie raising an eyebrow at him
"Really you want to call me little witch after you felt what I could do to you"
Damon smirked at Bonnie's feistiness "Well if I remember correctly you called my name before passing out... little witch" he said so smugly with his arms across his chest
Seeing Bonnie narrow her eyes at Damon, Rose intervened before this simple conversation might turn out to become a massacre.
"Damon would it be okay if I have a few words with Bonnie" Damon looked at Rose in confusion of the question then at Bonnie who was still glaring at him mixed with curiosity of what Damon would do.
"It's my room and besides I need to know about this passing out business" Bonnie lips formed a thin lined annoyed that he wouldn't just leave her alone
Rose placed her hand on top Bonnie's knee gaining the young witch's attention she spoke softly "Damon told me your eyes were black meaning that you were using dark magic"
"Yeah well maybe Damon should start minding his own business" Bonnie said nastily looking to Damon
"He just cares Bonnie" Rose said
"No he doesn't, he's just hoping I'll run to Elena and tell her what a great guy he is and that she should totally be with him" the witch said in her happily sarcastic tone
"Yeah well I don't see you doing that and fine you are right I don't care" he snapped out angrily walking out of his room
"See?" Bonnie said looking at Rose while motioning towards the direction that Damon left
Holding back her hurt, Rose knew Damon's feelings for Elena but she never got used to the little stabs of the reminder. Taking a deep breath she questioned Bonnie "You do know how dangerous it is to use dark magic?"
Bonnie rolled her eyes "Yeah I know keep using the powers keeps making you lose your humanity hence soon you will feel no human emotions blah blah blah"
Rose nodded stating in a concerning tone "It's suicidal Bonnie"
The young witch scoffed at the older vampire's words "Suicidal? It's not suicidal. So what I begin to lose emotions it's better than forcing myself to switch off my emotions... in this case I have no chance of feeling pain, misery and anger all the time"
"Yeah but what about happiness, joy...love? Without those negative emotions you'll never feel the positive emotions"
"Says the vampire"
Rose sighed trying to explain from a different perspective to the young teen "Vampires can't switch off emotions. Sure we live on that lie for about hundred years or so always using it as an excuse to excuse our nature but after a couple of centuries the lie begins to wear off and we are then forced to face our mistakes"
Bonnie looked away from Rose's concentrating stare and stubbornly said "Yeah well I won't be feeling any guilt since well I will not be feeling any emotions but instead I'll be powerful to protect my family"
Rose shook her head as her hand raised up to turn Bonnie's concentration back on her "That's the problem Bonnie. Your emotions control your powers allowing you to learn how to control your emotions which in time teaches you to have control of your powers. Using black magic, you are letting the powers control your emotions... Not only does it destroy your humanity it destroys you. Over the centuries I've seen witches delve into the black magic loving the feeling of the powers running through their veins and having the powers to put fear in everyone's eyes..." Bonnie gulped from Rose's speech somewhere inside feeling the guilt that Rose was exactly pinpointing what Bonnie was feeling using the dark magic
"...I've seen witches use this power in the sense of greed. Others try to use the magic for good reasons to protect their family, but there is a fine line between right and wrong and that line disappears once the power is in control of the witch; all those righteous morals that I know you witches have engraved into your skin is pushed to the next level"
Not wanting to hear anymore Bonnie stood up angrily walking a little away from Rose with her arms across her chest. She turned to face her throwing her arms up in the air in despair "What if that's the only choice? What if I need to be pushed to the next level. I need to protect my family somehow and if using black magic will help me than so be it"
Rose's hazel eyes narrow in curiosity "How many witches do you know is alive from using black magic?"
Bonnie sighed placing her hand on her hips "I don't know... because I don't know many witches Rose"
Rose sped now in front of Bonnie shocking the witch a little causing her to stand up straighter "I'll tell you. As far as I know none of them have lived long enough to receive grey hair because deep in their conscious they hate the numbness, the emptiness, the fact that it's a constant battle to keep the black magic at bay and not give into the temptation or it'll be one hell of an Armageddon once the magic is in control" Bonnie gulped a little scared from the stern british accent
"Terrified and tired they become so they commit suicide to end the constant internal battle. Now if you were to come to that stage what's the point of you protecting your family if you can't even control the darkness?" Rose ended staring at Bonnie. Bonnie gulped back hating the confrontation from Rose but it was disturbed by rushing footsteps
"Bonnie!" Amelia cried out once reaching Damon's room to rush towards her daughter pulling her into a bone crushing hug
"Mum...mum can't breathe" Bonnie said awkwardly as Amelia pulled back a little flustered
"Sorry baby girl. Are you okay?" she asked
"Yes I'm okay" Bonnie said
Amelia nodded then looked to the woman causing Bonnie to roll her eyes "Mum this is Rose. Rose this is my mum, Amelia Bennett" Bonnie introduced the two ladies
"A pleasure to meet you " Rose said in her accentuated british accent holding out her hand to Amelia
Amelia shook hands with her "Please call me Amelia"
Releasing their hands Rose looked between the two stating "I guess I'll leave you two to talk"
"No it's okay I better be getting back home" Bonnie said but Amelia shook her head
"Mason is talking to Tyler and I need to talk to you now go take a seat" Amelia ordered Bonnie motioning her to the bed
Sighing annoyed Bonnie walked past Rose taking a seat on the bed. Bonnie noticed her heels on the ground nearby and sighed deciding to put it on as she heard Rose state politely "I'll leave you two to talk"
"Thank you Rose" Amelia said as the older vampire walked out closing the door behind her.
Hearing the click of the door Rose let out a quiet sigh and turned around to question the Salvatore brother "Do you have to eavesdrop on everything?"
Ignoring her comment Damon cut straight to the point "Can Bonnie die from using dark magic?"
"Yes" Rose said feeling a little surprised to see a flicker of fear dance across the Salvatore's alluring blue eyes
Clenching his jaw he leaned against the wall his arms across his chest as he stared at the floor in deep concentration "I think the Bennett's deserve some privacy" Rose said noting that the vampire was using his super hearing
Damon didn't respond causing Rose to shake her head and leave him alone in his eavesdropping manner.
*Damon's room...4:15pm*
Hearing the door click close Amelia turned to Bonnie "You lied to me Bonnie"
"Excuse me?" Bonnie said with a little attitude in her tone looking up to her mother
"Don't use that tone with me. You promised me that you wouldn't push your magic past your limit. You promised to stop once you knew that you would pass out" Amelia said placing her hands on her hips
Bonnie chuckled standing up "I lied..." she scoffed her eyes narrowing at her mother
"What about you?" she couldn't help but yell out to Amelia. Anger instantly evolving in her flashes of her father's death and words from her father and Katherine about her mother knowing about the extent of her powers.
Standing up instantly and raised her hands up angrily "You lied to me. You and Grams knew about the dark powers and how much stronger I could become with it"
Amelia's eyes widened stepping towards her daughter "Bonnie..." but Bonnie held her hands up to stop her shaking her head
"No. Don't even bother comforting me. Is there anything else you want to tell me or will you just wait for me to discover it"
"Your Grams and I were trying to protect you"
"Protect me!" Bonnie laughed out loud with the fire in her eyes
"Look how well that turned out! Grams is dead! Dad is dead! You have no magic in you! While I'm a freaking witch on dark magic crack!" she yelled out furiously scaring Amelia a little of seeing her baby girl in such fury
"You should have told me mum! You should have let me control the dark magic like Dad wanted me to learn!"
"No! You don't have the strength to control it!" Amelia yelled back
Bonnie laugh a little faltered from mum's words "Oh geez thanks for the support" she said sarcastically
Amelia groaned from her words running her hands through her hair "That's not what I meant Bonnie"
"Oh I know what you perfectly meant. You think it will kill me just like Rose thinks"
"It will" Amelia said sternly
Bonnie shook her head in frustration that her mum wasn't getting it stepping towards Amelia her eyes flashed black so easily and with a flicker of her the lamp flew across the room smashing against the wall "News flash mum! I can try! It's there! The darkness in me is always there! I lived as a Bennett followed your rules and morals but it's not working... it's not me"
"What are you saying Bonnie?" Amelia asked eerily calm staring at her daughter who eyes shone pitch black
Bonnie took a deep breath closing her eyes she let out a slow breath and opened her eyes for Amelia to see her daughter's beautiful green eyes staring at her "Three Xavier rules to live by" Bonnie stated calmly
Bonnie watched the anger in an instant wash over her mother's face "No!"
"Yes! Because dad may have been a jerk but he was living those rules and it's time I stop being that caring Bennett girl that everybody seems to use for her powers. Problem is she always has to have morals. It's time I protect my family and instead of always wondering what's right and wrong for once just live with one question: Will it protect my own?"
Taking a deep breath in and out she finished softly "I can't lose you or anyone else right now"
Amelia shook her head tears beginning to fall grabbing her daughter's shoulder shaking her a little in the midst of her fury "You listen to me Bonnie Bennett! You will not follow the road of your father or you will have your heart ripped out! You will stop using dark magic and you will stop this Xavier nonsense because it's just leading you to get killed!"
Bonnie roughly pushed herself out of her mother's grip "No! Love gets me killed!"
"Stop..." Amelia said in a warning tone
"No I won't! The more I care the more pain I end up feeling! I hate it! Okay! I just hate that too many people have died already and I'm not strong enough to help them!" she yelled out
"Bonnie! You can't control fate"
Bonnie chuckled darkly "Fate? Screw fate! It's time I take control of it" she said staring at her mother with her dull green eyes that faded to black so quickly that before Amelia could get another word out she was left in Damon Salvatore's room alone with her daughter no where to be seen
"Amelia?" Stefan's voice surprised the woman as she turned around with her tears streaked upon her mocha-skinned face
Sniffling she took a quick short breath wiping away the tears to see Damon standing behind Stefan "Sorry Damon for the lamp. I'll buy you a new one" she said smiling weakly
Damon's expression softened to the Bennett mother as he watched his brother walk towards her and open his arms to encircle around Amelia
"We're going to help" Damon heard Stefan whisper to Amelia.
Amelia nodded into Stefan's chest pulling back a little she looked to handsome Salvatore smiling in thanks "Thank you" she said and leaned her head to the side to look past Stefan at Damon
"To both of you especially you Damon for helping my baby girl" not used to thanks and praises only from Elena and Sheriff Forbes with a straight poker face he nodded to motion he heard her
*Meanwhile... Lockwood residence, Lockwood office...4:05pm*
"So what do I need to know?" Tyler asked a little smugly looking up slightly to his uncle
"Your first transformation will take place two weeks from now. Bonnie will be with you as Amelia will be with me...we're searching for a place that we'll be secluded and far away from people" Mason paused seeing the confused expression upon his nephew's face
Getting back on track Mason continued "I'll explain once we are all together"
Tyler nodded not pleased in the delay of the explanation of what will be happening to him he sighed "Then what the hell am I staying back for?" Tyler asked
Sighing Mason pulled out a usb "I recorded my first transformation just in case another Lockwood were to be put in my position at least they can be informed"
"That's nice" Caroline commented out loud gaining the attention of the Lockwood men to look at her
"What? I'm just saying" she said eyeing the two causing Mason to chuckle from the ditzy blonde vampire.
Mason turned his attention to Tyler handing the usb stick to him then went to his brother's office desk opening the top drawer pulling out a small brown book. Closing the drawer he walked back to stand in front of Tyler and Caroline and handed Tyler the book who accepted it looking at it in confusion then back at his uncle who explained
"This is my recordings of the transformation. I was going to put the usb and book in that underground out in the Lockwood's woods but you broke the curse and well I guess I didn't have to hide them yet" Tyler nodded looking down to the book and usb in curiosity but the fear of what he would discovery started seeping into his mind
"What if I can't handle this?" Tyler thought but his scary thoughts seem to be cut short from a touch of comfort from the girl behind him
He turned his head slightly to meet the vampire's blue eyes "It'll be okay" she said in that comforting tone that seemed to ease Tyler's tension
"It will be okay Tyler. It won't be easy but it'll be okay. It's your choice you can watch the transformation or not" Mason said but deep inside hating that he had to explain this part of the world to his nephew
"He's only a kid" Mason thought looking at the young teen in front of him
Tyler looked back down taking a deep breathe he looked to Caroline then up to his uncle "Can we do this tomorrow? Until I know Bonnie is okay then I'll be able to concentrate on this"
Mason nodded while Caroline smirked "Well you're in luck. Bonnie's home"
"Huh?" Tyler said then remembered Bonnie saying vampires had super hearing
"That's so cool" Tyler noted to Caroline who smiled embarrassingly to Tyler's compliment
"Thanks" she mumbled then stood up looking down to Tyler
"Is it okay if I talk to her first"
"Uhhh..." Tyler began but Caroline cut him off begging
"Please! I haven't spoken to her since that night and I need to know where her head is" Caroline pouted her small pouty lip-glossed lips to him
Tyler had to shake his head from that sudden desire to pin Caroline against the wall and kiss her
'What the hell?" he thought surprised and waved Caroline off before she or even Mason began to question his silence
"Yeah" Tyler's voice went a little high pitched as he quickly cleared his throat to cover up that high tone
"Yeah sure Care" he repeated
"Thanks!" she said happily and sped off leaving Mason and Tyler alone. Tyler looked to his uncle who was trying to hold back his laughter
"What?" Tyler demanded
"You have it bad little nephew"
Tyler scoffed squinting his eyes his tone rising a little in his lie "No I don't"
"Oh yeah you do" Mason laughed patting him on the shoulder as Tyler placed the book and usb on the coffee table nearby and then placed his head in his hands in defeat
"I like her. I don't even know how that happen" Tyler mumbled lifting his head up to see Mason take a seat on the edge of the coffee table
"Usually you fall for a girl when you start hanging out with them. From the last two weeks you two have been glued at hips"
"What am I going to do?"
"Tell her how you feel. Take it from me. Either tell her now or wait years when your fates crosses path again" Mason said. Tyler nodded knowing deep down he couldn't tell her, his feelings. Was it because he was scared? Yeah. He and Caroline was just becoming close bonding a tight friendship and besides she used to date Matt... he didn't want to break or mess up his friendship with Matt or her just because he has sudden urges to run his hands through those blonde wavy curls or just pin her against the lockers at school and attach his lips upon those small beautiful perfect lips.
"Ugh" Tyler groaned placing his head back into his hands followed by his uncle laughing and patting his shoulder in pity... well not really. Tyler Lockwood may actually be on his way to falling in love and Mason Lockwood indeed felt no pity there for his nephew.
Bargaining...
*Lockwood residence...Bonnie's room...4:30pm*
*Knock Knock*
"Bonnie?" Bonnie froze hearing her friend's voice
"Can I come in?" the uncertain tone of Caroline Forbes rang on the other side of the door
Bonnie looked down to the open container of the things she needed for her mission. Dropping it in the container she place the lid upon the small silver tin container
"Come in Caroline" Bonnie hollered picking up the container and sat on her bed with the container in her lap
"Hey" Caroline said walking in and closing the door behind her her hands nervously held the edges of her brown jacket
"Hey" Bonnie said and couldn't help smile a little to ease the nervousness she could sense off Caroline
Seeing the smile on Bonnie's face allowed the vampire to let out a sigh and walked towards Bonnie to sit beside her she looked to the tin container sitting in her best friend's lap
"What's that?" Caroline asked her eyes motioning to the small tin container
"I want to do a spell" Bonnie said and lifted the container slightly "This will help me in this spell"
"A tin container?" Caroline questioned flatly raising an eyebrow
Bonnie smirked a little shaking her head a little to Caroline's sarcasm "The contents in this container is what I need"
"What's the spell, Bonnie?" Caroline asked carefully looking to Bonnie
Biting her bottom lip deciding on how much information of the spell or more so calling she should tell Caroline "It'll help bring back my dad"
"Alive!" Caroline exclaimed in surprise. Bonnie quickly dropped the container and covered Caroline's mouth to not alert Tyler or Mason in the big house
"Shhhh!" the witch exclaimed to Caroline
"Yes alive" Bonnie assured Caroline whose eyes just widened as Bonnie removed her hands slowly from the vampire's mouth and picked up the fallen container
Looking around as if someone entered Caroline hissed out "Isn't that dangerous?"
Bonnie shook her head "No it isn't. Someone will be bringing him back alive they just need some...property of mine" she said carefully
"Well have you spoken to Tyler about this spell?" Caroline asked placing a hand on her hips with an eyebrow raised Caroline Forbes style
"Please everything I do doesn't have to go through Tyler okay?" Bonnie said frustrated
Caroline scoffed looking at her best friend angrily "It's dangerous isn't it? That's why you won't tell Tyler. Does your mum know?"
"Look Caroline! I'm doing this to save everyone. My dad seems to know all about this curse thing and if bringing my dad back with help us in stopping it then so be it!"
Caroline shook her head grabbing Bonnie's arm tightly "Oh no Bonnie Bennett I'm not letting you out of my sight"
Looking down to the tight grip her dark magic awoke ready for actions drinking up Bonnie's anger, frustration and fear that it began to overwhelm her "Let me go or I'm going to do something I'll regret" she said in menacing tone lifting her head up to look at Caroline
Caroline's eyes widened to see Bonnie's eyes no longer green but pitch black "Bonnie?" she whispered scared
Bonnie smirked repeating "Let me go or I'm going to do something I'll regret"
Caroline gritted her teeth and shook her head "No"
"Then I'm sorry" Bonnie said and before Caroline could ask why; she had her hands on her head and was falling to her knees screaming from the pain of the aneurysm she was receiving from Bonnie
"I'm doing this for everyone" Bonnie said stopping the aneurysm
Caroline gasped for air as her hands rested on the carpeted floor. Slowly she looked up through the blurry vision caused by her tears she could still see the pitched black-eyes Bonnie
"I'm sorry Caroline" Bonnie whispered
"Bonnie no!" she screamed out but was too late as Bonnie Bennett disappeared
"Caroline!" Tyler exclaimed rushing into the room to see the crumpled Caroline in tears on the floor. He got down onto his knees near her and gathered the crying Caroline into his arms
"I'm sorry...Tyler...She...She's gone" she cried into his chest
"Shhhh shhh where?" Tyler asked running his hands through her blonde hair in comfort
Caroline looked up and cried out in despair "I don't know!"
His eyebrows burrowing in thinking motion his hands gripped her shoulders he looked to Caroline straight into her eyes "Okay did she tell you what she was going to do?" he asked
Caroline nodded "Yes. She said she was going to get someone to bring back her dad with the help of whatever was in the tin container"she said quickly still in her blubbering mess but Tyler heard her clearly
"Shit!" Tyler exclaimed and turned to face Mason who was already in the room
"Uncle Mason call Amelia and tell her that Bonnie has gone to Bailey's crossroad again" Tyler ordered his uncle while comforting Caroline
"Bonnie!" Amelia's voice yelled from the front door. Tyler looked to Mason who nodded already out of the room to inform Amelia
"Hey you okay?" Tyler asked Caroline who had by now calmed down she looked up to Tyler sniffling a little
"Yeah lets go save Bonnie" Caroline said with a mission expression as Tyler helped her up and the duo walked out downstairs to find Mason comforting Amelia
Mason looked up to watch Tyler and Caroline come downstairs "Damon and Stefan have gone to save her"
Gritting his teeth hating that Damon was saving Bonnie...again! He's the one that made her life hellwhat gave him the right to save his best friend? But he trusted Stefan so maybe it was going to okay. "I got to make a call" Tyler informed them all pulling out his cell phone he walked into his father's office.
Selecting Stefan's name he sighed tiredly seated on the couch he placed his Iphone against his ear awaiting for Stefan to answer
"We're almost at Bailey's crossroad Tyler. WIth Damon's driving he'd cut the traveling time in half"
"Bonnie is calling upon the crossroad demon to strike a deal" Tyler informed them
*Bailey's crossroad, Virginia... 4:40pm*
Bonnie took a deep breath looking around the empty crossroad she made her to the centre her heels clicking against the road she walked to the nearest place to bury the container.
Getting down on her knees [regretting she was still in her black dress] she placed the container to the side and began to dug into the ground with her hands in determination
*Meanwhile Lockwood residence...*
"A demon?"
"What kind of deal?" Tyler heard Damon ask
"Yes a demon. Any type of deal you make with a crossroad demon but in return they come for your soul" Tyler explained
"As in death?" Stefan questioned
"Yes death Stefan! What kind of deal is my little witch making?" Tyler heard Damon's angry frustrated voice loud and clear and the car speeding
*Bailey's crossroad, Virginia... 4:46pm*
With the back of her hand she wiped away the little sweat bead upon her forehead. Letting out a sigh she opened the container [she was suppose to use when she wanted save her Grams] to find a photo of her, some graveyard dirt, a black cat and some yarrow. She shut the lid on the tin container and placed it in the hole and quickly placed the dirt on top burying the container
Standing up she brushed the dirt off her dress and rubbed her hands back and forth to rid of the dirt she looked to both sides to find nothing
"Oh come on!" she yelled out angrily
"Mmmm aren't you a feisty one" a husky voice said from behind her surprising Bonnie as she turned to face a young good looking demon possibly around Damon's human age. With his strong bone structure and messed up dark brown hair if she didn't know he was a crossroad demon she would have mistaken him for a really good looking guy suited in black jeans, black leather shoes, a black shirt with a dark grey top inside
He smirked at her eyeing the young witch up and down with that boyish yet evil smirk he walked up to her with such confidence "What can I do for you Miss. Bonnie Bennett?" he said his eyes flashing pitch black
*Meanwhile at the Lockwood residence...*
"Her dad. Her dad to be back alive and the demon would give her certain number of years to live. She had been thinking of striking a deal with the crossroad demon the first time when her Grams died but Amelia and I stopped her" Tyler said then heard the car screeching to a halt
"Enough chit chat we're here" Damon said
"Call you late Tyler" Stefan politely said and hung up
Tyler hung up placing the phone beside him he sat up and ran his hands through his hair in frustration letting out a groan he looked up to see the tear-streaked Amelia. His expression softened as he stood up wrapped arms around her he ran his hand up and down her back in comfort
"Don't worry mum. Damon and Stefan will get through to her" he said praying silently that his words were true
*Bailey's crossroad, Virginia... 4:47pm
"Bring my dad back and you can have my soul in ten years time" Bonnie said cutting straight to point
The crossroad demon chuckled standing in front of her "Wouldn't have it any other way but I'm going to have to renegotiate on that ten year deal"
"That's usually the deal you give" Bonnie said curious on why the sudden change
The crossroad demon shrugged his shoulders walking around her taunting her "Yeah to measly greedy humans but you are a Bennett and sweetie what anyone would give to have your soul in hell. That darkness that is already showing... oooooo just how much useful you'll be in hell" he paused in thoughts trembling in giddy
"Oh I can just see it... a gorgeous woman [that you are] just waiting for the monster in you to be unleashed" he whispered in that sultry tone in her ear from behind while running his fingers down her arm
Bonnie shuddered from his touch pulling away as their conversation seemed to be cut short from the turning of an engine of a car.
They both turned around to see the Salvatore brothers walking towards them "Hmmm the infamous Salvatore brothers" the evil figure said looking to them with Bonnie behind him scowling at them for coming. Before she could say anything a rush of wind came to her and she shut her eyes from the quick motion she felt of...flying?
Opening her eyes blinking she was now staring at the back of Damon Salvatore who had a grip behind him of her arm. She looked to the side to see Stefan beside her almost blocking her from moving rolling her eyes she looked to the other side of Damon only to feel his grip tighten around her
"Damon what are you doing here?" Bonnie hissed out angrily
"Yes Damon and Stefan you were both being rude gentlemen in disturbing Miss. Bennett and I's conversation" the crossroad demon said calmly motioning to Bonnie behind Damon
"Yeah well I tend to be rude ninety five percent of the time" Damon said waving his free hand nonchalantly
"Oh with five percent of pathetic humanity how... sentimental" the crossroad demon teased then pointed out
"The witch and I have a deal that we were negotiating"
"Yeah well she doesn't want to make a deal" Damon gritted out
Damon's words cause the crossroad demon to laugh out loud "I think she can speak for herself"
"Yes she can" Bonnie said out loud snatching her arm out of Damon's grip and walked around him only for him to grab her hand turning her around to face him "You're not doing this" Damon said sternly
"You can't stop me"
"No... but we both can" Stefan said standing next to his brother looking to Bonnie in worry
"Your father's soul and you'll get your soul taken in two years" the demon said
"Two years?" Bonnie exclaimed angrily turning to face handsome crossroad demon with Damon's hand still holding onto hers (not that she noticed or anything).
"You are quite wanted in hell Bonnie Bennett...everyone is waiting for you to turn to your dark side but if you sell your soul it just makes the corruption of your pure soul so much easier"
"Who's everyone?" Stefan questioned out loud
The crossroad demon shook his head looking at Stefan then Damon smirking "Petty vampires always thinking you are the powerful ones but you're not. Everyone, are the demons down below awaiting for dark souls of humans and witches to join us"
Damon was about to move to shut this demon up but the demon held his hands up "Uh uh don't even think about it. It's going to take a hell of lot more than chopping my head off to kill me" he smirked at Damon then let his eyes flicker to the beautiful witch
"I've got other contracts to deal with but when you're ready to seal that deal with a kiss call for me again" he said and began to walk away but paused to look at the trio
"Don't leave the deal out too long Bonnie Bennett I just may change my mind and minimize the years you live to months" with that said the crossroad demon disappeared. Bonnie stared at the empty space in a trance only to be broken from it when she felt Damon let go of her hands.
Sniffling back her tears she turned to face the two brothers she asked angrily "Why? Huh? Why did you two come here?"
"Because you were about to do a stupid mistake!" Damon yelled out frustrated with this damn witch
"No I wasn't. My dad knows a lot about Elijah and all of this curse crap! I was doing this to help us!" she exclaimed
"In the expense of your soul!" Stefan couldn't help yell at her. Not only was Elena always seem to be putting her life in danger and now Bonnie was sacrificing herself... what is with them?
"Yes in the expense of my soul! I think two years of living is a stupid deal but I mean give or take the amount of times I use my powers I'll probably be dead before I reach my twenty-first birthday"
"Stop it! Stop saying that!" Damon yelled grabbing Bonnie by her shoulders roughly
"Damon..." Stefan started but was cut off by the angry glare of Damon
"What Damon? Stop saying what?" Bonnie challenged him still in anger
"That you're going to die"
Bonnie scoffed "Damon, I'm human of course I'm going to die get used to it" she snapped at him
"No. Just stop saying you are going to die like you are expecting it so soon" he said so sternly his blue eyes was burning into her green eyes that it kind of scared Bonnie but she wasn't going to show her fear to him
"Look around Damon look at my line of family. My Grams is dead, Lucy is dead and now my father is dead. My mother is all I have and she's lucky to be alive because her magic is bounded. I can't help you guys not when my magic is out of whack but if I bring back my dad who is stronger than I am and he can help" Bonnie said trying to explain to the two brothers
"We don't need your father Bonnie" Stefan said and Damon nodded in agreement only for Bonnie to watch Damon's expression shift as his eyebrows rose high in realizations letting his hands fall from her shoulders
"You may think you are doing this for us but you're doing this for yourself"
Knowing she couldn't hold back her lie "Yeah I want father back is that so wrong? He's probably the only one that can help me since my mother keeps lying to me"
"She was protecting you Bonnie" Stefan stated
Bonnie bit her lip quietly saying "I know, but it still hurts"
Running her hands through her hair tiredly "Just forget it. Take me home please" she said sluggishly realizing the toll of this day taking over her. She walked over to where she buried the tin container digging into the dirt she pulled out the container then stood up slowly.
Walking past the brothers in silence they both watched her get to the car and followed her silently and that's what it was traveling back home...silence. Each individual stuck in their thoughts.
*Meanwhile in Mystic Falls... Kitchen of the Lockwood Residence, 4:50pm*
"Am?" Mason said her name carefully when seeing her trying to busy herself in the kitchen by making herself a cup of green tea and Caroline a cup of coffee.
"Amelia" Mason said a little louder causing the young woman to slowly place the two cups on the counter and turn to face Mason. With a raise of an eyebrow subtly questioning Mason of what he wants.
"They'll get her" he said in hope to ease Amelia's worry. No expression appeared upon Amelia's face as he watched her turn around and continue what she was doing.
Sighing he walked towards her pausing behind her and placed his hands on Amelia's hips to halt her movement. He felt her stiffen against his touch but that didn't stop him to lower his head to whisper in her ear "Don't shut me out. Talk to me"
Amelia let her eyes close in tiredness as she bit her bottom lips from habit when worried. Turning around she faced Mason now with her big brown eyes she said tearfully "I should be the one getting her. I... I feel so helpless"
"You're not helpless" Mason whispered back to her brushing a strand of Amelia's dark brown locks behind her ear.
Sniffing back she wiped away the tears that were near to falling "I am. I should have never bounded my powers even if it meant protecting my family more so Bonnie"
"You don't need powers to protect Bonnie, Am" he said
Amelia shook her head and moved out of Mason's grasp exclaiming "Yes I do! I bounded my powers so that Bonnie wouldn't be a part of this supernatural life and battle, but I should have known that it would have been inevitable since us Bennett women were involved in this battle from day one. So what was the point of me binding my powers? Just to stand by the sideline watching my daughter get involved in the battle alone! Heck even my mother was helping her" Amelia finished her ranting running her hands exhaustedly through her brown hair
Mason crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back against the counter "You do know that it might get more dangerous if you got your powers back"
She looked to Mason in ridicule "This situation is dangerous whether I have powers or not"
He sighed knowing Amelia had her mind set "Is this spell dangerous?" he asked
Now Amelia scratched the back of her neck nervously causing Mason to stand up straighter "Am, how dangerous is this spell?" he asked sternly
Letting out an airy sigh she explained "I need to blood bond with Bonnie but..."
"But what?" Mason questioned frustrated with Amelia beating around the bush
"It is said that sometimes when a witch is regaining their powers... depending on the time period that a witch don't have their powers it may become too powerful for the body to grasp onto the powers; that the witch may fall into a coma state or... die" Amelia finished quietly
"No" Mason stated his final answer
"Mason, this is my decision" she said firmly
"Bonnie won't go for it" he stated knowingly his voice getting louder
Narrowing her brown eyes at Mason's tone she said "Yes she will. If I don't tell her that part"
"Well big mistake because I will tell her!"
In response to his angry statement Amelia glared furiously at Mason that they both failed to notice Caroline now in the kitchen
"Uhhhh Mason? Amelia?" Caroline questioned carefully to get the two adults' attention
"What?" they both yelled out only to calm down seeing the blonde vampire
"Sorry Caroline" Amelia said in that motherly tone
Caroline smiled warmly to Amelia's tone and delivered the good news "That's okay I just came to let you know that Tyler got a text from Stefan that they have Bonnie and they are on their way home"
Amelia let out a sigh of relief placing her hands on the counter on the side of her and whispered a silent thank you to her mother above.
Depression...
*Outside of Lockwood residence, 5pm*
Bonnie got out of Damon's car shutting the back door she walked towards the steps but paused when she heard them getting out. She whipped her head around to face them still angry at the Salvatore brothers
"I'm here so you don't need to follow me" she snapped at them
"Oh well since you're high and mighty with your disappearing act, we have to follow you to make sure you actually go into your house" Damon said sarcastically receiving a glare from the witch and a disapproving look from his brother.
Shaking his head from his older brother's words, Stefan said "What Damon means is that you're our friend Bonnie and we worry about you. So we want to walk you to your door to make sure you are safe and because we are gentlemen " he ended with a warm smile
Chewing on her bottom lips trying to be mad at Stefan but was failing because he has been a good friend to her. Damon on the other hand was pretty easy to be mad at all he had to do was spew out a few sarcastic words and it would just madden her. Bonnie simply nodded not knowing what to say to the annoying older Salvatore or to the sweet younger Salvatore; as she walked up the stairs to be greeted by her mother who pulled her into a bone-crushing hug with the brothers behind her watching the interchange between mother and daughter.
Pulling a part holding Bonnie close to her side, Amelia looked to Damon and then at Stefan "Thank you again. I have a feeling I'll be saying that a lot to you two boys" she stated
"Don't need to thank us, it's Bonnie" Stefan pointed out
"Goodnight boys" she said as both brothers said night and began to walk away
Amelia smiled appreciatively as Bonnie walked into the house to be met with a squealing Caroline followed by a hit from her
"Ow!" Bonnie exclaimed rubbing her shoulder as Amelia chuckled while shutting the front door only to be held back from Tyler. She looked up to him questionably but let it go once he made his way out of the house towards Damon and Stefan Salvatore.
"All in a good day's work aye brother?" Damon questioned jokingly causing an eye roll from Stefan
"Stefan! Damon!" both heard Tyler's voice and him rushing downstairs towards them.
Now this caused Damon to roll his eyes "What does wolf boy want?" he muttered annoyed
Reaching up to them they turned around to face Tyler Lockwood "What wolf boy?" Damon asked rudely still not liking this kid
"I just wanted to thank you vampire man" Tyler retorted back
Damon raised an eyebrow and chuckled mockingly "Vampire man? Really? That's the best you can come up with?"
Tyler was about to respond but Stefan intervened in this sudden 'who-can-insult-better' banter "Now you want to argue? Seriously?" he questioned looking to his brother
Tyler took a deep breath and continued "I don't trust you two. Especially you..." he said looking at Damon with the look of distrust making Damon roll his eyes
"... but you guys saved Bonnie and I know she'll never admit it but in some twisted way she trusts you two. Maybe because Elena does so she tries to be lenient in her morals or maybe in some fucked up way you have proven to her that two you can be trusted"
Ignoring the sudden pride to the idea that Bonnie trusts him, Damon questioned "Is that all?"
Tyler shook his head shock from Damon's rude behaviour "You're a dick you know that?"
"I've been told several times" Damon said with a roll of his eyes while Stefan just shook his head to the conversation he looked to Tyler
"Bonnie is our friend, we'd do anything for her" Tyler nodded although in the back of his mind couldn't help but whisper
'Lucky she's best friends with Elena or she'd be an enemy to the brothers'
Shaking off his thoughts Tyler said sticking his hands out towards Stefan "Thanks again I guess I'll see ya at school Stefan"
Stefan shook Tyler's hand then let go as Tyler nodded a goodbye to Damon and turned away from the Salvatore brothers and walked back into the house feeling a little weight off his shoulders knowing his best friend was okay for now because now it was time to get her out of her darkness or in this case protect her from the temptation.
*Salvatore boarding house... 5:15pm*
'Damon, I'm human! Of course I'm going to die, so get used to that idea'
'...in some twisted way she trusts you two. Maybe because Elena does; so she tries to be lenient in her morals or maybe in some fucked up way you have proven to her that you two can be trusted'
Damon's grip around the crystal glass of scotch tightened as he leaned forward and stared into the flickering fire trying to push away the rushing flashbacks of what just happened. The words and seeing Bonnie making that deal just angered Damon more causing him to mutter angrily
"Damn witch"
He was pulled out of his trance when he sensed her presence. He turned his head slightly to a smirking Rose dressed in only a silky pink robe "A penny for your thought" she questioned in that sexy British accent
Damon cracked a small smile "You're going have to have a lot of pennies for my thoughts"
Rose chuckled walking towards him planting a seat next to him. Damon placed his unfinished scotch on the small table besides the couch an lifted his arm placing is on top of the couch and looked to Rose who just moved closer to him. She placed her head upon his shoulder and her hand upon his chest. Damon turned his attention back to the fire unconsciously drawing circles upon her shoulder with his finger
"Worrying about Bonnie?" Rose asked quietly staring into the fire
Damon scoffed hiding the truth "Me? No! If anything she's becoming a pain in my ass running off and getting herself killed not by vampires but demons!"
Rose lifted her head up slightly in surprise "Wow... she knows more about the supernatural world than she lets on"
Damon couldn't help but chuckle wryly "You'd be surprise what she knows or learn on her own" he finished quietly but Rose heard him and even though his voice tried to his feelings, his worry, his guilt; it was his eyes that said it all.
Rose softly placed her head back onto his shoulder and said softly to him "It's okay to care about her"
Damon took a deep breath taking in Rose's words 'Man I miss those days when I believed I could switch off my emotions' he thought in reflection to his past.
It was his brother's footsteps that caught his attention "Where are you off to little brother?" Damon asked glad for the slight interruption
"Elena's" Stefan replied quickly while putting on his jacket
"Don't stay out too late, school tomorrow" Damon said jokingly as Stefan shook his head to his brother's sarcasm and walked out of the house leaving Damon and Rose alone.
*Meanwhile Lockwood residence*
Tyler walked Caroline to the front door opening it he looked to to the young vampire "Thanks for everything. You didn't to stay but you did"
Caroline smiled to his thanks "I stayed because you're my friend and Bonnie's my best friend. Plus you're going through a tough time. I know now that Bonnie is the one that worries about you but you know I just want you to know that you also have me looking out for you as well" she quickly finished her talk realizing she was rambling
Tyler nodded but that didn't stop him from asking "Why?"
"Why what?" she questioned tilting her head a little to the side confused
"Why are you helping me? I mean we weren't friends before"
Caroline took a deep breathe and explained "When I was becoming a vampire it was one of the scariest struggle I had to face on my own. Nobody should ever go through what you're going through alone and I know you have many people but I like I said before you have me also to help"
"Thank you" was all Tyler was capable to say again bringing a wide contagious smile upon the blonde vampire's face. Catching Tyler out of surprise she hugged him and whispered to him
"Everything will be okay" he simply nodded resisting the urge to wrap his arms around her little waist and stay in this moment. Before he could decide on whether to wrap his arm around her or not she pulled back
"See you at school oh and text me when Bonnie gets back" Tyler nodded still in his daze and watched Caroline leave the house.
*Fall's cemetery*
Stefan parked at the entrance of the cemetery spotting the girl he was looking for dressed in grey sweat pants and a loose hooded black jacket talking to a gravestone. So he didn't tell Damon the whole truth that he was meeting Bonnie first then Elena but Bonnie called wanting to talk and he too wanted to talk to her.
Getting out of the car he sped towards Bonnie only to stop behind her and watch her placing the flowers upon Sheila's grave.
"I miss her everyday" Bonnie whispered. Stefan crouched down to her levels and whispered to her
"Sheila was an amazing woman" Bonnie simply nodded to his words and now sat down more comfortably upon the grass in which Stefan followed suite besides her.
Silence was shared between the two but was disturbed by Bonnie's shaky voice "I usually talk to Tyler or Matt when I'm down. I don't want to dump my worries on Tyler, he has enough to worry about. Matt on the other hand..." she chuckled sadly still staring at her Gram's gravestone
"...Matt knows nothing about this so I'm more worried about holding back the fact that I'm a witch then what I'm actually feeling. I don't know why but I felt like I could talk to you because you might understand what I'm feeling" she finished sadly looking to Stefan
Placing his hand on her shoulders in comfort "I'm your friend Bonnie. You can talk to me" he said seriously
"I want to make that deal with the crossroad demon" Stefan sighed to Bonnie's statement turning to face her
"What answers will your father bring that your mother can't answer" he asked Bonnie. She turned her head away from Stefan and said softly brush a strand of her hair behind her ear "I want my dad back okay? I blamed him for so many things, and I mean I gave him hell for all the stunts he pulled. I never knew that in some twisted way he was protecting us"
"Yeah but it didn't give him the right to mistreat you two" Stefan said back to Bonnie
She frowned at him but knew deep down he was right. Taking a deep breathe she felt constricted, her chest tightening the tears welling up in her eyes. It was as if someone was strangling her, that pain... the aftermath, the realization that her father is dead.
"Bonnie?" Stefan called out her name in worry seeing and hearing the struggle of her breathing and the quicken pace her heart picked up.
"He can't be dead Stefan" she cried out bursting ot into tears and in one swift motion Bonnie found herself cradled in his arms and her head against his chest. It was in those few minutes all that was heard were the cries of Bonnie Bennett and soothing words from Stefan Salvatore.
Acceptance...
*Inside Stefan's car parked outside of Lockwood residence... 5:45pm*
Bonnie looked to Stefan and smiled slightly at him "Thank you" she said softly
"No worries and you can talk to me anytime Bonnie..." he said and paused
"Why do I have a feeling that you are going to say but?" Bonnie asked
Stefan cracked a smile and started "But... you got to stop shutting your mum out. She too is grieving"
Bonnie let out a sigh turning her head away from him "I know, but she knows so much about me that I never knew"
"So ask her" Stefan said like it was the easiest thing ever
"I'm scared" Bonnie said looking to Stefan tearfully
"Your mother loves you Bonnie and maybe everything that has happened is too change your relationship with you and your mother; because you two are going to need each other a whole lot more"
Her hands wiped away the tears from her eyes looking to Stefan she nodded "You're a good friend Stefan"
"Eh I try" he joked causing a chuckle to leave the witch's mouth
"No you're a good guy. Elena's very lucky to be with you"
"Thanks" Stefan said shyly as Bonnie chuckled again to his sudden change of attitude to her compliment. Bonnie looked to the house then at Stefan
"I'm going to have a little talk with mum" she said and leaned over and placed a friendly chaste kiss on his cheek. Pulling back she looked to him and whispered again
"Thank you Stefan" with those last words she got out of the car walking around she stopped at the steps and looked back to see Stefan wave goodbye then drive off. Waving goodbye she turned back and walked back into the Lockwood residence only stop upon seeing Damon Salvatore sitting on the stairs.
"Is seeing you going to be a regular thing?" Bonnie asked walking towards him
"Depends on you and your dramatic runaways" he retorted back smugly
Bonnie rolled her eyes and sat down besides Damon "So what exactly are you doing here? Because I don't think Tyler or Mason want to talk to you" she said looking to him
"Your mother and Carol like talking to me and so do you" he teased her nudging her shoulders
Bonnie laughed "Don't have yourself fooled Salvatore. The only reason we..." she motioned between the two
"...talk is because we have one thing in common. Elena."
Damon scoffed stating "Pssh our paths would have crossed anyways without Elena being our common denominator"
"Oh yes of course how could I forget you would have used me for Katherine" Bonnie dryly said
Damon opened his mouth to argue but closed it realizing that Bonnie was right. Looking away from her then back to her
"So lets change that"
"What?" Bonnie questioned confused
"I said lets change the fact that we only talk because of Elena or when we dealing with ways to protect Elena"
The young witch chuckled but quickly stopped her chuckling seeing the seriousness on Damon's face "You're serious?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
Her eyebrows furrowed in wonder "Uhhh no"
"Correct. Now what do you say little witch... truce?"
Before Bonnie could answer Damon inserted "Don't say no like last time or I'll keep asking and little witch you know I hate repeating myself"
"If I say yes will you stop calling me little witch?" Bonnie asked
"No" he said
Bonnie stared at Damon and turned away feeling shivers from his blue eyes analyzing her. The wind began to lightly pick up blowing away lightly her hair back "Come on little witch we are going to be seeing each other a lot so we may as well start getting along"
Bonnie let out a sigh of defeat and looked to him "Fine..." she started and had to hold back a smile when seeing a smile grace Damon Salvatore's face
"...but we're not friends, yet. We can tolerate each other"
Damon shrugged his shoulders "I'll take what I can get" he said getting up and looked down to Bonnie who was now looking up to him
"Since we are friends..." Bonnie raised her one eyebrow to his words in which quickly corrected
"...I mean two people tolerating each other, we should hang out sometimes"
Bonnie laughed now standing up to notice that Damon Salvatore was really tall as she only stood to his shoulders "Now Damon Salvatore. Now that's pushing it"
"Uhhh come on you, me and pool tables" Damon said trying to tempt Bonnie who shook her head and said with a little light laugh in her tone
"Good night Damon"
He turned to face her and watched Bonnie climb up one more step and walk towards the door "One more chance little witch I don't give out invitations easily"
"I don't either Salvatore" she retorted back with a smirk. Damon couldn't help but smirk back at the feisty witch who opened the door and walked into the house.
"Good night little witch" he whispered to the empty porch and sped off away from the Lockwood residence.
*Lockwood residence... Amelia's room*
*Knock Knock*
Amelia opened her eyes immediately hearing the familiar soft knocks "Come in" she said pulling the covers back and get out of her bed and switched on the lamp to see her door open and her daughter walk in
"Hi mum" Bonnie said quietly. Amelia didn't say anything but patted the bed to motion for Bonnie to sit beside her. Bonnie quietly shut the door and walked towards her mother and sat beside her.
Amelia stared at her daughter and waited as the silence took up the room. Taking a deep breathe Bonnie looked to her mother, her piercing green eyes looking into Amelia's dark brown eyes and it was in to those seconds an uncontrollable sob left Bonnie's mouth.
Immediately without a word Amelia pulled her daughter into comfort "I'm so sorry!" Bonnie cried out in between her tears.
"Shh shhh" Amelia repeated rocking Bonnie back and forth in her arms as the tears began to fall feeling her daughter's pain and her pain and it was together that mother and daughter grieved not only to the loss of David Bennett, but also Sheila Bennett, the woman that knew everything and the loss of Lucy Bennett, the family they will never get to know about.
