Ch:10
This head I Hold
"Bonnie!" Caroline and Elena screamed banging on my bathroom door. The lights in my room flickering in and out, making our situation appear like something out of the twilight zone.
I watched calmly, taking note on how they weren't getting anywhere, and they definitely weren't helping Bonnie by assaulting my door.
I silently walked over and turned the knob. Bonnie's screaming stopped and the flickering lights stopped. I opened the door with a blank face.
Bonnie was in the bathroom covering her face. I walked into the bathroom unlike scary Elena and Caroline who stopped at the door.
"What happened?" Elena asked from the doorway.
"The better question, are you ok?" I asked Bonnie.
Bonnie slowly removed her hands from her face she looked at Caroline and Elena before staring at me.
"I'm fine." She answered staring into my eyes and I frowned as I stared at her, something was off…
"Unbelievable you were faking were totally faking it." Caroline snapped.
I stepped closer to Bonnie my face unconsciously getting closer to hers as scrutinized her.
"Caroline, come on." Elena started trying to sooth Caroline though I also picked up on Elena's irritation.
"No, she scared the hell outta me." She snapped before storming away.
Bonnie cocked her head to the side watching Caroline leave.
"Bonnie." Elena said tiredly.
Bonnie glanced back at her. "I'm fine. Everything's fine."
She started walking past me but my hand shot out into the air stopping her movement. She stopped staring at my arm before slowly trailing up and staring at me as I did her.
She held out her hand after a moment pasted between her.
I frowned, but reached out and took her hand anyway. The electrical zap came back but this time I didn't pull away…well I couldn't pull away, Bonnie had an iron grip on my hand.
"So pure..." She murmured sounding like she was in a drunken haze.
She swayed and I grabbed her shoulder with my other hand pulling her closer to me to steady her. She dropped her head down and shivered…and moaned? No I was clearly hearing things…
I tilted her head up. "Bonnie?" My eyes widened as I saw not one of my best friend's face but the face of another. "You're not Bonnie…Emily?"
"You can see me?" She said in shock.
"What did you do to my friend?" I said coldly.
"She's fine I-just, we need your help, please help us." She whispered.
I frowned but I looked into her eyes, she was scared, she was really scared.
"Alright I'll help you as long as Bonnie will be safe." I said seriously.
"She will be, as long as she stays in your favor." Emily said cryptically.
I frowned at her words. What the hell? In my favor, why wouldn't I favor Bonnie?
I let go of Bonnie-Emily and she pouted…the ghost actually pouted. We walked out of my room and started down the stairs Caroline was still ranting.
"I can't believe I fell for it." Caroline was obviously still pissed.
Emily and I just kept on walking. I passed Elena. She looked between us with a frown. "Are you ok?"
"We must go." Was Emily's reply.
"Their leaving, I'm leaving too." Caroline said instantly with a frown.
"You guys can't leave." Elena shouted at us.
Emily paused with a glare towards Elena.
"Oh I can't? Faye's leaving and I've had enough freaky fake witch stuff for one night." Caroline said angrily.
"Thank you for having me." Emily grabbed my hand and shuddered. "We'll take it from here."
"Where are you guys going?" Elena asked.
"Back to where it all began." Emily said and continued to pull me along.
"Bonnie…Bonnie!" Elena called but this wasn't Bonnie.
"Emily!" Elena finally said and her head snapped in Elena's direction.
"I won't let him have it!" Emily tightened her hand on my arm once more and I flinched. "It must be destroyed."
"Where are you taking my sister?" Elena shouted.
Emily glared at her. "She's not your sister, you have no claim over her being." She said and we were off once more.
I frowned as she dragged me through the woods.
"Uh Emily you don't have to drag me, I can walk." I said. She responded by further tightening her hand around my arm.
"Ok, so is there a reason why I need to be here?" I asked curiously.
"You're a pure source." She said evenly.
I laughed. "I haven't been a virgin for a while Emily."
"No." She said shaking her head. "You. are. a. pure. source." she repeated.
I sighed, yeah her repeating the same thing, I still didn't get what she was talking about. We ended up at fells church by the cemetery.
"Hello Emily, you look different." I heard Damon say then his eyes landed on me with a frown. "Faye what are you doing here?"
I turned away from him, I was still mad at him but at least now I remembered why the name Emily sounded so familiar. She was a witch; she was the one that had given Damon the protective bracelet…his friend.
"I won't let you do it." Emily said suddenly making me frown, as I had no clue what was going on.
"We had a deal." Damon growled.
"Things are different now; I need to protect my family." Emily said glancing at me before looking back at Damon.
"I protected your family. You owe me." Damon shouted.
"I know, I'm sorry." Emily said sadly.
I frowned as I looked between them. Just what the hell was going on?
"You're about to be a lot more than that." He said and flashed toward us.
Emily tightened her grip on me once more and I felt energy cackle around us. She moved her hand down and suddenly Damon went flying back and was impaled into a tree.
"Oh my god!" I yelled and ripped my arm out of her hand. I went to run towards him when I ran into a barrier of some sort.
"What the hell?" I hissed out before I immediately turned towards Emily, my instants telling me she was the reason why I couldn't take another step. "Release me! Now Emily!"
"I can't let you help him." Emily said seriously.
"He's impaled to a freakin tree, he could die! Are you seriously not gonna let me save him?" I shouted at her.
"I know it's against your nature to resist helping." She smiled. "You're so pure. You are pure nature, the purest magic source. I need it. I need you."
She began to make a circle around us with a large stick as I tried to find a way around her magic barrier.
I noticed Stefan come from the trees. He pulled Damon down from the tree and got the branch out of him.
"This is why I kill people." Damon groaned.
I couldn't help but snicker. Stefan looked at me with worry. "Faye what are you doing here?" before I could answer Emily spoke.
"Stefan." Emily said.
"Hello Emily." Stefan said shooting the witch a less than pleased look.
"These people don't deserve this; they should never have to know such evil." Emily said looking a Stefan.
I frowned. "What do you mean evil?" Stefan and I said together.
"Emily I swear to god I'll make you regret this!" Damon sneered.
"I won't let you unleash them into this world!" Emily said seriously.
"Them?" Stefan and I said.
"What part of the story did you leave out Damon?" Stefan asked slowly looking at Damon.
"Oh, it doesn't matter." He said trying to brush Stefan off all the while glaring at Emily.
"Emily, tell me what you did?" I said wanting to know what was going on.
"To save her, I had to save them. I'm sorry…" She said with disappointment on her face as she looked at me, like I would shame her or something. I didn't even know what the hell they were talking about.
"You saved everyone in the church?" Stefan said shocked.
"With one, comes all." Emily said evenly.
"I don't care about them, I just want Katherine." Damon said with conviction.
"Who the hell is Katherine?" I asked and no one answered.
"I knew I shouldn't believe a single word that comes out of your mouth. This isn't about love is it? This is about revenge." Stefan hissed glaring at his brother.
Damon mumbled something under his breath; Stefan shook him like a rag doll. "Damon, you can't do this!"
"Why not?!" Damon snapped. "They killed 27 people, and they called it a war battle, they deserve whatever they get."
"27 vampires Damon. They were vampires. You can't just bring them back!" Stefan snapped back.
"This town deserves this…" Damon continued unfazed.
"You're blaming innocent people for something that happened 145 years ago." Stefan yelled.
"There is nothing innocent about these people, and don't think for a second it won't happen again. They already know too much. And they'll burn your little grand-witch right next to us when they find out. Trust me." Damon pleaded with Emily.
"Things are different now." She looked at me again. And so did the Salvatore brothers.
I frowned. I was confused. What the hell, why were they looking at me?
"I can't free them." She looked at me again before looking back at Damon. "I won't."
She pulled me closer to her and then to my surprise, smelled me. I was literally about to lose my shit on her when she pushed me away.
"Incendia!" She shouted and a fire circle incased us.
I noticed that it made a pentagram. Cool I couldn't help but think.
Emily grabbed the necklace.
"No!" Damon begged. "Please!"
I looked at him, he had tears in his eyes, he really loved her. Whoever this Katherine chick was, she was lucky to have someone love her that much.
"Bonnie!" I heard Elena shout and I watched as Stefan held her back.
Emily tossed the necklace into the air and it exploded while Damon cried out.
Emily looked at me with a sad smile. Before the fire died down. She released Bonnie and she was gone.
I felt it before I saw and reacted pushing Bonnie out of the way. Damon bit into my neck and I let out a heart shattering scream.
The last thing I remember was seeing Stefan's face change something monstrous as he ripped Damon off of me.
I gasped and sat up. Elena and Bonnie where in tears and Stefan was hovering over me as he held me to his chest.
I groaned clutching my head. "What the hell happened?"
"Faye?! Oh my god I thought you were dead." Elena sobbed and tackled me out of Stefan's arms.
"Don't ever do that. Ever again." She cried into my chest.
I sighed as I patted her back and stroked her hair. "I'm sorry."
I looked up to see Stefan staring at me with a frown and then I saw Bonnie. I smiled at her and opened my other arm to her. Tears left her eyes and she joined in on the hug.
"I don't understand what happened to me." Bonnie cried.
"Shh." I cooed. "It's alright. We're alright. Everybody's alright."
After a couple more minutes with them, we stood up and went to Elena's car which was parked not too far away.
"I don't understand, Elena what happened to me. He went to attack me, his face was like…"
"How do you feel? Are you ok?" I asked.
"I'm fine, are you ok? He bit you." Bonnie asked me looking me over.
"I'm fine." I said I touched my neck and looked at the left over blood. "It's just some-"
I noticed Bonnie's fearful look and turned to see Stefan there.
"I'm not going to hurt you." Stefan said to Bonnie before his eyes connected with mine.
"What's going on?" Bonnie asked fearfully.
"I'll explain everything ok, let's just get…" was the last thing I heard before I blacked out.
