Chapter Seven: Death
Something awful is going to happen today. You know those days where you wake up knowing that something horrible was going to happen? That's the feeling the witch felt when she got out of bed this morning. She thought it was a way of her powers of warning her of something. Or she could have been just plain paranoid. Either way she had a bad feeling that just wouldn't go away.
You may be on to something. She hears a voice in her head. Why aren't you paying attention? I know Alaric can get a little chatty, but I'm sure he's saying something important. She rolls her eyes. Wait, who am I kidding he never has anything important to say.
Bonnie laughs, gaining attention from the rest of her class. "Sorry," she slumps back in her seat, embarrassed.
Thanks a lot ass. She grunts inside her head. Why were you listening to my thoughts anyways?
Believe or not, I find you interesting. Damon answers honestly, causing the witch to blush. I'll meet you by the football field after your class finishes. Try not to die from the anticipation.
You are such a...
"There goes the bell," Alaric says interrupting her. "Have a great weekend guys and remember all student activities are cancelled today, except for football and cheerleading."
Bonnie heads out of the class to cheerleading practice. She was actually looking forward to this all week. She needed something to keep her mind busy. She needed to take her mind off Klaus and this bad feeling she was having. She mostly needed to take her mind off of a certain 'homicidal vampire'. She doesn't know what's going on, but lately she was beginning to take more of a romantic interest in him. It was beginning to freak her out, how could she like him after everything he's done?
She shakes her mind of the thought, hoping that Damon didn't realize what she was thinking. He would definitely use it against her. He was still using her dream against her to his advantage. Torturing her with the idea of it every moment he could. She changes in to her clothes for practice and heads towards the football field.
"Bonnie," Caroline turns around enthusiastically. "You're finally here. I have great news, you're our new co-captain!"
Bonnie tries to plaster a smile on her face, "That's awesome," her voice sounding a little skeptical, hinting off the blonde. "It is awesome, it really is, but I've just been feeling weird today."
Caroline places her hands on her hips, "What do you mean?"
"I'm having this feeling…"
"Would this be a 'witchy' feeling?" Caroline puts air quotes around the word 'witchy'.
Bonnie rolls her eyes, "Why do I even try?"
"I'm sorry." Caroline tries to be more understanding. "What feeling?"
"It feels like something bad is going to happen today," she sees Damon standing near the bleachers. "Maybe I'm just being paranoid. I'll be back."
Bonnie runs behind the bleachers, looking back to make sure Caroline wasn't watching her. She knew Damon and Caroline had some history together; she didn't need the blonde to becoming suspicious of the two of them hanging out. Bonnie glances over to the vampire, noticing him staring at her intensely while licking his fangs.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Bonnie glares at him, pushing on his biceps. "You're freaking me out. It looks like you want to eat me or something."
Damon raises a brow, "Now there's an idea," grinning as the witch twists up her face. "It's not my fault you chose to wear something so, revealing. If I know any better I would think you were trying to tease me witch."
Bonnie smirks, raising her eyebrow this time. "Are you flirting with me, Salvatore?"
Damon moves closer to her, so close that their lips were no more than an inch apart. He places his hand on her skin, slowly stroking her face. "Trust me Bennett,' he whispers in a sultry tone of voice. "When I'm flirting, you'll know."
Bonnie could tell that if his arm was not around her, she would probably be on the ground right now. "Maybe you should let go of me now." She doesn't even make an attempt to pull away from him. She just stands there, gazing into his bright blue eyes.
He traces his finger over her lips, sending chills down her spine. "I don't think I should." Her lips were so sensual, like if he left his finger on it to long it would cause an electric surge between his finger and her lips. He wants nothing more than to just kiss her, so that's what he did. His lips connects with her soft and supple ones, cupping her face and brushing his lips gently across hers.
What the hell is going on? Bonnie asks herself as she falls in to the kiss, closing her eyes. She felt herself clinging to the vampire, pulling herself deeper in to the kiss. She feels him teasing the corners of her mouth. Their tongues stroking one another, his lips fastened tightly over hers. She places her hands on his chest, gently pushing him away from the kiss. He stares intensely in to his her eyes, the warmth of the kiss radiating off her lips.
"What was that?" Bonnie whispers in a serene tone.
"Best you've ever had right." He smirks, watching as the witch rolls her eyes. "You can't fool me witch, I know you enjoyed it. That was for last time, before we was interrupted by that creepy friend of yours."
"Caroline was right, you are cocky?" She tries to stifle a laugh. "And Meredith is not creepy."
"First off, yes she is." Damon shakes at the thought of starring in to her dark chocolate eyes. "And second, why don't you come find out?"
Damon winks at her, before collapsing to the floor. He grabs his head in searing pain. Bonnie didn't understand what was happening; she could hear screams from the football field watching as some of the players and cheerleaders runs away. "Stefan!" She hears her best friend calling out her boyfriend's name. It probably meant that the same thing that was happening to Damon was probably happening to Stefan.
"What's going on?" Bonnie asks, falling to her knees.
Damon struggle to make out the words, "Something…something is hurting me."
Bonnie feels a bead of rain drop on top of her forehead, dripping down her face. She looks up, watching as the clouds began forming in to a vast storm cloud. 'It was sunny just a second ago.' The witch thinks to herself, putting her focus back on the vampire in front of her.
She places her hand over his head, muttering the same word over again, like she was doing a spell. "Claritas." His eyes begin to open.
"Stay the hell away from her!"
Bonnie was sure that was Matt's voice she heard. She runs over to Elena, kneeling beside her. "Bonnie, it's Klaus!" Elena explains to the witch, holding Stefan's head in his lap. "He's powerful. He's the one doing all of this and he's changing the weather."
"Looks like history repeating itself."
Bonnie turns to see Klaus, standing no more than two feet away from Caroline. He stands over six feet tall, his electric blue eyes clear and penetrating. He wore a dirty, tattered threadbare raincoat. She was almost surprised by his appearance. She was expecting a vicious old man, who reeked of death. Instead he looks like an average person you would see of the streets from any big city.
Caroline tries backs away from the vampire, "Who are you?"
"I'm death, sweetie." He takes a couple of steps towards Caroline.
Bonnie sends a surge of power at him, throwing the vampire forcefully against an oak tree. She places her hand in front of her to keep him there. "Stay the hell away from my friends."
Klaus growls at the witch, showing off his razor sharp fangs. The veins around his eyes, bulging black. "Where would the fun in that be?" He cackles when he hears the roar of thunder ascending from the skies.
"What the hell is going on?" Caroline cries out, running towards Matt.
"Bonnie, move!" Matt calls out.
Bonnie turns her head to see the bolt of lightning heading straight towards her. It almost feels like time was moving in slow motion. She tries to move, but she can't feel her feet let alone her own body. She closes her eyes. Please be quick and painless. She feels herself being jerked to the ground, by what she assumes to be the cause of the lightning. She opens her eyes to find Damon on top of her, his eyes red and the veins bulging black just as Klaus' did.
Klaus springs towards Damon, grabbing him by the neck and flinging him across the field. There was spark of thunder, follow by a whip of lightning hitting the ground near Matt and Caroline. Bonnie looks up at the sky, an eerie feeling taking over her body as she gets up from off the ground.
"ELENA!" Bonnie feels the power exerting out her body, shoving the brunette and the brooding vampire harshly across the grass. She feels a gust of wind pushing back her hair, as flash passes by her charging in to Klaus. She flinches, it almost sounds like two cars colliding with excessive force.
Bonnie could barely breathe anymore. It was like all the veins in her body was being constricted and she was losing oxygen to her brain. Her head was pounding; she could feel herself losing control. She begins to scream, the feeling of her head being split open becoming too unbearable. She feels someone grab her, but it was useless, she was too far gone.
Elena heart was pounding, like it was about to jump out of her chest and scream. It was weird experiencing this first hand. Meredith told her how this would go, but she didn't tell her it would be this bad. She notices that the rain had stopped midair, various objects floating off the ground. She hears another crash from behind her, turning around to see Damon being thrown across the field across like a rag doll.
Klaus turns to look at Stefan, the thunder cracking so loud it causes a piercing pain in the brunette's eardrums. She watches as a grin appears on Klaus face. She looks between her boyfriend and the vindictive vampire. Tears fills her eyes, realizing what was about to happen. She wants to yell, but no sound would come out her mouth. She watches as Klaus maliciously directs lightning towards Stefan motionless body.
BOOM! Damon collides in to Klaus once again, breaking his concentration. Elena looks grief-stricken as she watches the string of light, being redirected towards Caroline. She suddenly finds her voice, "CAROLINE!"
Matt shoves his girlfriend out of the way, taking the string of lightning to his chest. He feels himself being thrown a couple of yards back, before actually falling back to the ground.
"NO!" Caroline shrieks, sprinting towards the jock. "Matt, please be okay?" She begins to stroke his hair, trying to ignore the strong scent of burnt flesh. She doesn't even seem to notice the droplets falling on his face wasn't from rain, but her tears. "Please say something."
"Matt," Elena struggles to run, carrying the witch on her back. "Is he okay?"
Matt coughs, blood spewing from his mouth. "Caroline," he reaches his hand out, trying to grab for hers. "Be safe."
Caroline slips her hand in to his, "I will." She sobs, pressing her lips against his hands. "Don't die Matt, please. You don't get to do this to me."
"I...I love you." Matt whispers, trying his best to place a smile on his face. "I was…going to tell you that…after practice." He struggles to let the words out, feeling himself becoming weak.
Caroline kisses his him of lips, not even caring about the blood spewing from his mouth. "I love you too, Matt." She whispers back to him, leaning her forehead against his. "I love you so much."
Matt nods his head slowly, "Thanks," he coughs more violently this time. "Thank you…for loving me. I always felt my life was screwed up…with Vicki dying and my mom being, well my mom." He tries to laugh, but it could barely be heard. "I could have...loved you forever, Caroline."
"You still can," Caroline can barely keep her composure. "Don't leave me, please."
She waits for him to answer, but she doesn't get a reply. Matt's eyes were no long moving, but they were still open. "Matt!" She let's go of hand. "You don't get to do this to me. You don't get to die!" She beats her small fist in to his chest, her vision blurring from her uncontrollable sobs. "You don't get to tell me you fucking love me and die. Open your eyes Matt! Open your fucking eyes.
Elena wraps her arms around the blonde, pulling her away from the jock's lifeless body. "He's gone, Caroline," she could feel her voice breaking. "He's gone."
"No," Caroline shakes her head, trying to free herself of Elena's grip. "He can't be gone. I love him, Elena. This was different. He was different. I love him!"
Elena tries to suppress her sobs, "I know, Care. I know."
"Make it stop!" Bonnie pleads, placing her hands on her head. "It hurts so bad, please make it stop." She feels so helpless, watching as the tears streams down the witch's face. "I can't take the pain. Make it stop, Damon. Please make it stop."
"It's Elena, Bonnie!" She takes a tight grasp of her friend, holding Caroline with her free hand. "Damon is trying to protect us. Caroline is hysterical and Matt..." She pauses for moment, taking in a deep breath, trying to keep her tears at bay. "Matt is dead. So, snap out of it, we need you!"
"Elena?" Bonnie opens her eyes, looking around at the scenery. "What's going on?" She looks down to see Matt's body, just lying there, with a scorch mark in the middle of his chest. "No, no!"
Elena nods her head, tears filling her eyes once again. "He's gone."
"What a sad day in Mystic Falls." Klaus twist his face in to a menacing grin, as he steps on top of a struggling Damon. "It looks like my mission here is done." He stares at Bonnie and Elena. "I hope you two aren't peeved I killed your friend. Who am I kidding? You probably are, but who doesn't love a good funeral."
"You're fucking sick!" Bonnie yells at him, trembling from her reeling emotions.
Klaus laughs, kicking Damon across the face. "Down right psychotic, I would say."
Bonnie raises her hand, but before she could do a thing, he's gone. She hears footsteps splashing in the puddles of the field. She turns around defensively, the blood in her veins coursing faster than it ever did before. She puts down her hand when she takes in the sight of Meredith, who stops dead in her tracks at the scene.
"Oh my god."

(A/N: Please Read! Thanks for reading this chapter. I hope it wasn't too sad and that you enjoyed it. I just have to ask you guys a couple of questions. Would you like to see the aftermath after this or can I move and do a time jump? If so, how comfortable of time jump do you think would be good? I think the time jump would be better and I would have flashbacks to Matt's funeral, because it does play a big role in everyone's. The most I would go is probably a year. The next question is would you like to see more of the demons SL? Who do you want to see interact more? And lastly do you think Klaus should stick around and if does stick around should he bring Katherine along with him?)
