Bonnie gasped as her back arched off the ground. The pull was easing, and she felt relief wash over her. She felt a calming sense of love envelope her. It was Kol. He was pulling her back. She could hear him calling her back to him.
~Hours Later~
"Kol." She whispered, opening her eyes. She turned her head, and found herself, not on the ground in the forest, but in a bedroom. She slowly sat up to find Caroline sitting in a chair next to the bed.
"Care." She whispered, raising her right hand to her forehead.
Caroline smiled as she stood up. "Hey, Bon." She said, walking over to Bonnie.
Bonnie dropped her arms to her side, and pushed down, only to find her strength gone. Caroline caught her as she nearly fell to the side.
"It's okay. You haven't gotten your strength back." Caroline replied, helping her to sit against the back of the headboard.
Bonnie nodded. "Where are we?" She asked, looking around the large room, decorated simply with wooden dressers and chests, and an elongated mirror on the far wall.
Caroline smiled as she pushed her blonde hair behind her ears. "We are in Kol's room at the mansion." She said, looking down for a second, and then back up at Bonnie.
Bonnie smiled slightly. "Why are we here?" She asked, looking at her hands.
"After you and Kol passed out, Natalie and the other witches decided to bring you to a safer location." Caroline answered, looking at the doorway. "Klaus suggestion the mansion and they agreed. They put up a barrier around the house so no one could enter after we arrived." She added, looking back at her friend.
Bonnie nodded in understanding. "Where is Kol?" She asked, fiddling with her fingers.
"Natalie said it would be alright for you two to be separated, so he's in Rebekah's room across the hall." Caroline answered, moving her head to the side.
"Have you heard anything from the others yet?" Bonnie asked, shyly looking up.
Caroline nodded. "Stefan called after we brought you here." She replied, sadly. "Jeremy is dead."
Bonnie lifted her head higher, and then shook her head. "No, he can't be." She whispered, feeling a pain shoot through her soul, though she knew it was for a loss of a friend.
Caroline nodded. "I'm so sorry, Bonnie. I know how much he meant to you." She whispered, touching Bonnie's hands with hers.
Bonnie nodded. "He used to mean so much." She replied, through her tears.
"But not now." Caroline concluded, with a soft smile.
Bonnie shook head. "Does that make me a bad person?" She asked, grasping her friend's hands tightly.
Caroline shook her head. "It means you moved on, Bonnie. No one would fault you. I know that he hurt you, but I also know that you were still his friend. He was a friend to us all." She replied, as Bonnie fell into her arms and cried.
Caroline gently stroked her friend's back. She felt tears fall down her face at her friend's pain. She knew Bonnie still loved Jeremy, but not the forever kind of love, not the love she knew her friend felt for a certain Original. Yes, Caroline knew of Bonnie's feelings towards Kol and his as well. She may be a lot of things, but blind was not one of them.
She sighed as she let Bonnie cry on her shoulder. No, she would not judge, not when she felt the same for a certain Hybrid. She heard Bonnie's sobs quiet, and she pulled back.
Bonnie sniffed a few times, and wiped her nose with the sleeve of her cardigan as she blinked away the remaining tears in her eyes.
"How is Elena holding up?" She asked, looking up at her blonde friend.
Caroline sighed. "Stefan said she has turned off her humanity. She's no longer the same Elena she was before, Bonnie." Caroline answered, softly.
Bonnie nodded. "She wasn't the same after she turned, anyway." She muttered, wiping her eyes.
Caroline shook her head. "No, she wasn't. Stefan and Damon are trying to get her to turn it back on, but they aren't having any luck. Rebekah is on her way over. The cure was stolen." She continued, lowering her eyes.
Bonnie's eyes widened. "Silas" She whispered, feeling her heart rate go faster.
Caroline nodded. "He's the one who killed Jeremy. Katherine stole the cure, along with that bitch Hayley." Caroline added with disdain.
Bonnie frowned. "What does Katherine want with the cure?" She asked, looking around her.
Caroline shrugged. "I don't know, but Klaus doesn't like it." She replied with a slight smile. "He thinks Katherine will use the cure against him, and part of me agrees with him." She added, looking down at her hands.
Bonnie nodded. "Whatever it is, it can't be good." She said, lifting her head to look at her friend.
Caroline nodded. "So, onto a more cheerful topic," She said, tilting her head and clasping her hands together. "What is up with you and Kol?" She asked, in her cheerful tone.
Bonnie laughed and shook her head. "Should we really discuss this with everything happening?" She asked, moving her hands around.
Caroline sighed, and nodded. "Yeah, it'll be good for us to have a little girl talk, we need some happy moments." She replied, moving her head around, with her hands.
Bonnie pursed her lips, and lowered her head. "Maybe you're right, Care." She whispered, moving her fingers over each other. Looking up into her eyes, she smiled. "I'm falling for him. More than I ever thought I could." She stated, vehemently with a shrug of her shoulders.
Caroline smiled and clapped her hands together proudly. "Oh, I'm so happy for you, Bonnie." She stated, with a gleeful look on her face.
Bonnie smiled, and bowed her head. "I know." She whispered, as she lifted her head once more. "What about you and Klaus? The last time I thought you hated him." She stated with a smirk.
Caroline shrugged and lowered her head. "It's kinda hard to hate someone who steals your heart." She replied, with a smirk.
Bonnie tilted her head. "Caroline?" She asked, looking at her friend carefully.
Caroline fiddled with her black pants, and sighed. "I love him, Bonnie." She whispered, looking up at her friend with tears in her eyes. "I don't know how, but I do." She added, blinking a few times. "Is that bad?" She asked, looking down at her fingers once more.
Bonnie shook her head, and reached out with hers. "No, Caroline, I know better than anyone to ridicule you for loving an Original." She replied, softly, causing Caroline to look up. "How can I put down your love for Klaus, when I feel the same for Kol? You see the good in everyone, Caroline. That's your gift, and I understand that." She added with a smile and a shrug.
Caroline nodded, and wrapped her arms around her friend. "Thanks, Bon." She whispered.
"Always, Care." Bonnie whispered back.
A throat cleared from the doorway, and the two women pulled apart, and looked at the doorway.
Two men stood in the doorway, one holding up the other carefully.
Caroline stood up, and winked at Bonnie as she went to help Klaus set Kol down on the bed.
"We'll leave you two alone." Caroline replied, as she grasped Klaus' upper left arm, and motioned towards the door. He nodded, as he glanced at his brother, who was leaning on his left arm on the bed.
Bonnie and Kol didn't notice them leaving from the room as they continued to stare into each other's eyes.
Klaus smirked, as he followed Caroline out of the room. He sighed as he closed the door behind them. With a shake of his head he felt a smirk cross his lips at the thought of his brother in love.
Caroline crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. She waited for him to say something, anything to give a clue to him listening at the door. She knew he heard. She smelled him and his brother when she and Bonnie had begun talking.
Klaus watched as she lowered her eyes to the floor, and give a wan smile. She straightened and moved to walk down the hall, with a tilt of his head he reached out with his right hand and grasped her upper right arm. She turned her head to look down at his hand, and then up at him with a gleam in her eyes.
He smiled as she came closer to him, grasped his face in her hands, and closed the distance between them.
With passion, yet loving, she planted her lips on his, and smiled against his lips as he moved one arm around her waist, and the other to her face. She never knew that a kiss from Klaus could feel like this. It wasn't anything like a kiss from Tyler, Matt, or Damon. Neither of those three could ever compare to the lips caressing hers at the moment.
Pulling back, she opened her eyes to find him staring at her with uncertainty. With a smile, she touched his face.
"I heard, Caroline." Klaus whispered, softly, but they appeared to be shaky.
She smiled wider at his words, and nodded. "I know." She whispered back.
With a sigh, he crushed his lips against hers once more, and the passion built further, until they could no longer contain it.
With a flash, he took her into his bedroom, and laid her on his bed. She smiled as he pulled back to look down at her.
"We don't have to, Caroline." He whispered, stroking her face.
Caroline sighed as she touched his face. "I know." She whispered, once more, looking into his eyes. "Just hold me, Klaus." She added, with a smile.
Klaus nodded and smiled back as he positioned himself to hold her in his arms. It may not be what he wanted, but he would give it to her. It was enough to know she loved him, and for that purpose he would wait a hundred more years for her to be ready. All because she loved him, and he loved her.
~X~
Kol watched as Bonnie lowered her eyes finally to her hands in her lap.
"Are you okay, lass?" He asked, breaking the silence.
Bonnie nodded. "I'm better." She whispered, looking up at him.
Kol sighed, and reached forward to touch her face with his right hand. "You gave me quite a scare, Bonnie." He whispered, with a break in his voice.
Bonnie leaned into his hand, and sighed. "I'm sorry." She whispered back.
He smiled, as he leaned forward. "As long as you are doing better and here with me, there's no need to apologize." He whispered, closing the distance between them completely.
She smiled as his lips landed on hers. She felt so at home with him, and so at peace. There was no doubt that she loved him now. It was a given. She loved him.
He pulled back, and watched her beautiful face light up as she opened her eyes.
"I love you, Kol." She whispered, touching his face.
His eyes widened and he couldn't stop the grin on his face.
She shook her head, but her eyes never left his. "No tricks, no pretending, I love you, and I have never been surer of anything in my entire life. It took hearing about Jeremy's death for me to realize it, but I do." She stated, firmly.
Kol smiled wider at her confession, and pulled her into his weak embrace. "I love you too, my Bonnie lass." He whispered, in her ear.
She laughed as she held onto him with all the strength she could muster, and closed her eyes, basking in the love she felt from him.
"We still have the matter of Silas." Bonnie said, after a moment when they had pulled away from each other to where only their hands were touching.
Kol sighed. "I know, and since he's risen, it's going to be harder to put him back in the other world, especially with Katherine having the cure." He stated, looking at her hands in his.
"Why was the cure created anyway? I never understood that." She asked, looking at him.
He sighed once more, and looked up at her. "It was created by your ancestor, Qetsiyah." He began, with a frown. "Silas was her best friend, but he loved another woman. After he became immortal, he wanted to turn his love into one, but Qetsiyah killed her before he could." He continued, looking down at their hands once more. "The cure would turn him human, and with that he could die, and be reunited with her. It was Quetsiyah's final act to get him to choose." Kol explained with a sigh.
"So he wants the cure to reunite with his love once more." Bonnie concluded, with a nod.
Kol nodded. "And since Katherine has it, our job just got a whole lot harder." He stated, rubbing her hands with his thumbs.
"But why would he need to open the other side, and release hell on earth?" She asked, shrugging her shoulders.
Kol smirked. "Weren't you told any of this by Shane or perhaps the grimoire I gave you?" He asked, tilting his head.
She smiled and blushed. "It was never fully explained." She answered.
He nodded, and lowered his head. "I'm not sure why he wants too, but it can't be a good thing." He said with a sad voice.
"It could bring you back, completely." She replied, softly.
He jerked his head up. "No, Bonnie, you can't risk it, not just for your sake, but for the entire world." He stated, his eyes narrowing.
"Kol, if it could bring you back, I will try it, and I think I could control it long enough for you to be brought back." She stated, firmly.
He shook his head. "It was one thing for you to try something else to bring me back, which I still don't know what that is, but it's another to almost release hell on earth. I won't let you do it." He stated, with a frown.
"You won't let me!" She stated with a quiet shout. "Kol, the last time I checked, I don't answer to you or anyone for that matter." She concluded, glaring at him.
Kol glared back. "Have you even thought about what that would entail, Bonnie?" He asked, in a harsh tone.
Bonnie crossed her arms over her chest, and studied him.
"You could die, Bonnie." He added, frowning with sadness reflecting in his eyes. "Not only would opening the portal to the other side unleash hell on earth, but it could kill you." He stated, grasping her face in-between his hands. "Why must you always be the martyr?" He asked, searching her eyes.
Bonnie unfolded her arms, and dropped them in her lap. "I don't know, Kol. It's just…." She began, lowering her eyes.
Kol moved his hands to her shoulders, and lowered his face to catch her eyes. "It's just what, lass?" He asked in a whisper.
"I don't want to lose you, Kol." She stated, looking to the side. "You've become such a big part of my life, and if you die, I might as well die with you." She whispered, turning her eyes back to his.
Kol's eyes widened, as her words sank into his soul. What could he say to that?
"I feel the same way, lass." He whispered, with a half-smile.
Bonnie felt tears fill her eyes. Bringing her arms up and around his neck, she pulled his face towards hers, and crushed her lips on his.
Kol knew exactly what she needed for he needed it too. Opening his mouth on hers, he moved his tongue over her lips and finally over her tongue. Bonnie moaned as she pulled him tighter to her, and tried to get as close as she possibly could.
Kol's hands moved to Bonnie's waist, and slowly positioned them on her bare skin above her pants. Bonnie was so lost in the kiss, she failed to notice when Kol moved her over, and fully laid down beside her.
She moved her hands over his shoulders and down his chest until they came to the hem of his shirt. Kol took this opportunity to pull back to give her air, as she pulled his shirt off of his body. With a smile that made him shiver, he watched as she moved her hands over his abs and chiseled chest. He caught her eyes, and smiled as he lifted his left hand to stroke her face softly.
With just a glance she gave him permission.
Taking off her cardigan, he kissed her bare shoulders, causing her to bite her bottom lip, and suppress a moan. Slowly his lips moved over her skin, and he smiled as he felt her shiver.
How he dreamed of this moment, to finally make love with her.
With ease he took off her little cami top, and finally her bra. Bonnie moved her hands through his brown locks, as he ravished her breasts, causing her to feel things she never dreamed she could feel.
Slowly he made the trek back to her lips, and gave her a long, slow kiss. She moved her hands to his pants, and he knew without asking this was it.
As he unfastened her pants, while his lips never left hers, she unfastened his.
When they were free of the constrictions, they finally became one. It was unlike anything either had felt before. It was slow, not fast, it was passionate, and yet full of love.
It was everything.
Tonight they had each other, and their love. Tomorrow, or the next day, they would watch the world around them burn, but tonight was about them, and them alone.
What did you think?
Yes, they did finally make love! I hope you approve!
The rest of the chapter will be up soon! Enjoy the rest!
