Hello everyone! The next chapter is here! I hope you enjoy it. And if you do, leave a review to let me know that you like it. Julie Plec made Bonnie quite weak in the show, but I want to make 'my' Bonnie a total badass! What do you guys think? :)

Klaus looked questioningly at Elijah who nodded showing that they should listen to what Esther wanted to offer. "Leave her, Rebekah." The older brother ordered his sister who reluctantly did what she was asked to do.
"Thank you, Elijah. You've always been so…" Esther started, but her son quickly cut her off.
"Spare me this counterfeit courtesy, mother. Tell us what's your proposal, and we might kindly reconsider it." Elijah stated putting his right hand in a pocket of his suit trousers.
A slight smile crept on Esther's face. "I am sure you will accept my offer. Otherwise, I'll have to sacrifice the people you are deeply in love with."
Klaus clenched his fists and let a quiet growl escape his throat. Caroline quickly noticed that the hybrid was getting angry so she placed her hand on his shoulder. She wanted to calm him down; there was no point in fighting Esther at that time. "It's okay." She whispered soothingly causing him relax.
"As long as I love seeing you here, Mother, skip this theatrical introduction and tell us what do you want." Klaus said gesturing with his hands.
"Your hatred breaks my heart, Niklaus. I want to save you from being doomed for the rest of eternity." Esther countered and walked to the middle of the room. "If you willingly agree to let me cast the spell on you, I'll spare their lives." Esther continued pointing at Caroline and Katherine. "Of course, no harm will be done to that mortal boy as well."
The Originals looked at each other; confusion was written all over their faces. Rebekah felt that she was ready to sacrifice her immortality to save Matt. In fact, being mortal had always been her dream. She wanted to have a normal human life and her own children which was impossible because of the curse her mother had put on her centuries ago. Rebekah was about to agree to her mother's proposal when she heard Bonnie chanting some unknown words.
"What are you doing, Bonnie?" Caroline asked looking at her friend curiously, but the Bennett witch didn't answer, she kept chanting with her eyes closed.
"You should not help them. Spirits won't be happy." Esther said before she had disappeared.
Bonnie stopped chanting and slowly fluttered her eyes open. A forceful attack pinned her against the wall. "What did you do?! She's going to kill Matt!" Rebekah shouted in anger, but with one wave of her hand Bonnie sent the Original sister flying across the room.
"Don't do that ever again." The witch threatened confidently.
"Bonnie?" Caroline cautiously approached her friend.
"Do not agree to Esther's proposal under any circumstances." Bonnie started. "She needs all of you to sacrifice yourselves willingly. Without your permission, she can't cast the spell."
"How do you know that, Bon-Bon?" Katherine asked curiously.
"Spirits talk. Esther wants to kidnap Caroline and Katherine. She's convinced that you will agree to her offer to save their lives. And when you do, she'll sacrifice them in a ritual anyway. " Bonnie explained what Esther's plan really was.
"So how can we defeat her?" Caroline asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"We have to kill her." They heard Elijah's voice coming from the corner of the room.
Klaus was surprised that his older brother's suggestion was to murder their mother. It wasn't Elijah's usual way of solving problems.
"First, we have to outsmart her. She'll die eventually." Bonnie stated calmly.
"Any details?" Katherine asked straightening her legs.
"All in good time. I need to take care of you first. Esther can easily read your mind, and that's why I need to cast a spell blocking her powers. I need a few things, let's meet here in an hour." Bonnie said and walked up to the frame of the front door. "I suggest you not to split up." She added while leaving Caroline's house.

Matt grunted and slowly opened his eyes. He wanted to sit up, but he wasn't able to move; his body was tightly roped to the bed. Matt looked around, he noticed a young girl sitting on a chair next to the window. She had a dark long brown hair and a beautiful face.
"Where am I? And who are you?" Matt's voice was a bit husky since his mouth was completely dried out.
"You finally woke up." A pitchy female voice rang in Matt's ears. "Do you want a glass of water?" The girl asked walking up to him. Her posture was slim, she wasn't tall, and she looked rather vulnerable.
"No, thanks." He didn't want anything from her. He repeated his question. "Where am I?"
"I can't tell you that. But I can see that you are thirsty. I'm not here to hurt you. Moreover, she promised that you won't get hurt. Let me help you." The girl explained squatting by the bed.
"If you don't want me to get hurt then let me go." Matt insisted hoping that she would let him escape.
"I CAN'T." She replied emphasizing the last word. "Do you want something to drink or not?"
"Alright." Matt agreed, he thought that maybe he could convince her to free him later.
The girl left the room for a minute and came back with a glass of water; she helped Matt drink the liquid as his arms were chained to the bed.
"Thank you." He said after he had drained the glass. "So… Are you allowed to tell me your name at least?"
"Just to be clear. I'm allowed to do whatever I want. I'm not being ordered by anyone."
"So why don't you let me go?"
"Because I need you to fulfill my revenge. " The girl answered and stood up. She walked up to the little table in the corner of the room and placed the empty glass on it. "My name is Davina."
"That's a really beautiful name." Matt wanted his smile to look as authentic as possible.
"You're so charming, but it won't work on me." Davina replied sitting on the edge of the bed. "I'm sorry that you're going through all of this. But it will be finished soon."
Matt heard sincerity in Davina's voice. Maybe she really didn't want to hurt him, but he didn't know why he was kidnapped and kept roped to the bed. "Why do you need me?" He asked looking into her blue eyes.
Surprisingly, Davina didn't look away. "I've already told you. Revenge is my motivation."
"Yeah I heard you saying that. But why am I the part of your revenge?"
Davina stood up and walked up to the door. "People, who are afraid of losing their most precious treasures, are capable of doing anything just to get them back." The girl answered and left Matt alone in the room.
"Hey, wait! You said she promised that I won't get hurt. Who is SHE?" Matt raised his voice so he could be heard, but Davina didn't come back. Damn it! Matt tried to free himself once again, but he was tied too tightly, and the ropes only hurt his wrists. He gave a deep sigh and started looking at the ceiling.

Bonnie rushed into her grandmother's house. She grabbed three white candles and a grimoire. The young witch was about to leave when her eyes landed on a photograph on the mantelpiece. Bonnie walked up to it to have a closer look; there were Grams and she in the picture. An almost invisible smile crossed her face. Why am I doing this, Grams? Bonnie thought and placed her hand on the picture. "I miss you so much…" She said out loud.
"I missed you too." Bonnie flinched at the sound of a male voice, but she didn't turn around, she knew who was it. "What are you doing here?" He asked.
"I needed to collect a few things to cast a spell on Caroline." Bonnie didn't want to tell him that the truth was that she was going to cast a spell on Caroline, Katherine and three original vampires. Facing him was necessary to leave the house. Bonnie turned around and saw a suspicious look on his face. "What? Stop looking at me like that, Damon."
"I needed to collect a few things to cast a spell on Caroline." Damon tried to mock Bonnie's voice. "What's going on?" He added sounding seriously that time.
"Nothing special." Bonnie tried to avoid the eye contact, but he placed his hand on her chin and made her look him in the eyes.
"I don't believe you." Damon countered squeezing his eyes a little bit. "But… If that's only Caroline then I'll go with you." He smiled.
"You can't because it's a … " Bonnie tried to make up some story that could cover up why she was going to cast a spell on her best friend. "I'm sorry for doing this." She added and waved her hand chanting a spell. In a second, Damon's eyes closed, and he fell unconscious to the ground. "I can't risk your life." Bonnie said placing a soft kiss on his forehead and left the house.

Bonnie walked into Caroline's house causing everyone stand up and follow her to the living room.
"I can't believe that we put our lives in the hands of a witch that once wanted to kill us." Klaus shook his head in disbelief.
"She's my friend." Caroline snapped back giving him a serious look.
Bonnie placed the candles on the floor and kneeled down. "Can you bring me a bowl and a knife, Caroline?" She asked politely.
"Of course." Caroline answered and flashed out of the room.
"Make a circle around me." Bonnie ordered to the rest and took the things from Caroline who was back in the living room.
Katherine rolled her eyes and reluctantly joined the circle.
"Something wrong?" Bonnie raised her eyebrows.
"Beside the fact that the wicked witch wants me dead, everything is perfectly alright." The doppelganger replied and forced a fake smile.
"I need your blood." Bonnie stated and indicated the use of the bowl and the knife. Caroline grabbed the knife and cut her left hand making her blood drip into the bowl. Rebekah, Elijah and Katherine did the same. It was Klaus' turn then, but he was hesitant.
"Seriously Klaus?" Caroline rolled her eyes. "Just do it."
He bit his right palm and squeezed it to make the blood drip into the bowl. Bonnie took the bowl and placed it on the floor. She took the grimoire, opened it on the page with the spell and started chanting with her eyes closed. After a few seconds the young witch opened her eyes. "It's done." She said quietly. "Now I have all of you linked together." She added raising her head and showing a mocking smile on her face.
"What?" Caroline asked in confusion. They blinked and saw Esther, instead of Bonnie, standing in the middle of the living room.
