when she awoke, Bonnie found herself alone Jason had gone some time in the early morning the only evidence he had been there was an empty mug. Deep in thought and worry Bonnie was startled back to the world by the loud buzz of her phone, picking up the device she saw that she had already missed six calls already all from Caroline. Answering the seventh call Bonnie was met by Carolines concerned voice
Bonnie where the hell have you been?
at your house where are you? i didn't hear you come in last night
we're still at the boarding house a lots been happening since you bailed last night
i didn't bail i got bored we weren't coming up with any answers so i didn't see the harm
not important Bonnie you need to get over here now
what happened?
its Rebekah she got frustrated last night and called in help
who could help with this?
Klaus she called Klaus
… is he there now?
no but he's close once he heard about Jason he dropped everything and is headed our way
im coming over be careful
duh im not a idiot Bonnie i know how to act around that creep
And with that Bonnie hung up and hurriedly pulled on her clothes, she left the house running as fast as her legs could manage to the house hoping she wasn't to late to help defuse the situation before it ended with Klaus using Jasons blood in his next painting.
i looked over the wall and peered into the window of the boarding house "considering that 90 percent of the people in there are vampires there not to alert" i thought to myself, i had been there watching their progress for about half an hour now, i was slightly amused at the slowness of it. The group had been at it all night from the looks of it, though they were getting very active all of a sudden, i closed my eyes and focus on the faint sounds inside tuning out the rest of the world and quickly the voices became clear as my wolf ears cleared away the background noise.
The next thing i heard chilled me to my very core they were talking about Klaus, he was coming here. Coming to deal with him and from what i had heard in my travels it would not be a peaceful resolution like Bonnie had promised it would be a long bloody death.
Quietly sneaking away from the window i hurried down the road to where i remembered my truck was parked, when i arrived i was shocked to find it practically gutted. The engine was scrapped, the seats shredded, the ignition was smashed and all it contents he had left there were missing. "shit" i exclaimed loudly, i had thought it would be safe here but it was found now i had no escape. my plan to drive for my life breaking all the speed limits along the way was killed before it started, i let my hand drifted towards my right pocket where it closed around the ring. It may be my only way it would be faster than the truck but it meant leaving everything behind all my research all of his earthly possessions.
No that wasn't a choice it would take a lifetime to reassemble all of the work and some of it was one of a kind.
i slumped against the shredded remains of the truck seat and tried to think through and formulate a plan but before he could reach a satisfactory conclusion he hear the quick steps of someone approaching down the road. Jason jumped out of the truck and dived behind a nearby tree desperate to find some cover, not that it would be any good if his fears were realised. He was surprised to see Bonnie running towards him clearly distraught, she speed past the truck not noticing Jason until he call out to her.
Bonnie skid to a stop and quickly turned rushing back to my truck, she was obviously to tried and out of breath to shout her message over to me ,this was probably for the best this close to the house the vampires were sure to hear her.
Bonnie look ready to collapse and grabbed ahold of the side of the truck for support as she attempted to catch her breath, i waited for her to speak whatever she was about to say must be important it looked like she ran all the way here to to tell it.
"its… to late" gasped Bonnie struggling to speak "you've got to run" she continued finally it seemed to have recovered. i looked at her confusion plastering my face "what are you talking about?" Bonnie look me dead in the eye fear practically being projected at me "Klaus is coming". I nodded "i know i just overheard the others" i explained looking away so she couldn't see the fear which was probably more evident in my eyes than it was in hers "then what are you still doing here" she asked "he's going to kill you if you're lucky if not he'l torture you or worse".
"I would be half way to Florida right now but your mates seem to have helped themselves to my truck" i said slapping the trucks side to emphasize my point, Bonnie guiltily looked at the ruined truck. "you just have to go without it" she said "shift and run you'll move faster as a wolf anyway just get out of here" Bonnie insisted desperately, i shook my head "i can't do that i need my research Bonnie it will take decades to rebuild that collection". she clearly didn't feel the same as i did "fuck the research Jason if it'll take decades to rebuild at least you'll be alive to do it or would you rather.." Bonnies phone interrupted her plea "it's Caroline" she stated "there meeting about Klaus now if i'm any longer they'll start to worry". Bonnie jumped out of the truck and turned to me taking hold of my hand "just run Jason" practically begging me now "there no happy ending here now not with Klaus here".
she started towards the house but i refused to release her hand "theres a book" i said "its more like a journal it was my grandfathers its impossible to replace and what's in there could be the key to finding a way to make another ring" Bonnie listen intently keen to know more "make sure its safe but don't put yourself in any danger, once i know it safe i can leave" Bonnie shook her head "no" she said desperately "you've got to go now". conflicted by my determination and my survival instinct i tried to think to a better plan but was unsuccessful "ill bring it to you" Bonnies words brought me out of my head "what?" i asked surprised at this turn "you need to go i'll bring it to you that way you'll be safe" there was a bad feeling in my stomach i couldn't help but agree with "no Bonnie what if he catches you" she shook her head "he won't hurt me the others won't let him". Before i could argue Bonnie took my face between her hands "just go now Jason please" i nodded silently and relief washed over Bonnie's face.
Without another word i put my hand under Bonnies chin and tilted it upwards before i lightly kissed her.
All my fear and anxious emotions were gone and for those few seconds the raging storm inside me calmed to gentle tide, i felt our lips part and opened my eyes to meet his i didn't even remember closing them. his brown eyes flashed a wild gold but remained transfixed on my own, with my senses returning so did the world around me and the urgency of our situation was brought back to the front of my mind. "Florida" he said "there a lot of packs in Florida i'll be safe there" i nodded smiling widely "trust me i'll be able to find you" i said giggling a little before separating our embrace and heading towards the house. Tearing, a loud snapping and a low growl told me Jason had changed but when i turned to take a last look the road was empty with the exception of the wrecked truck and the remains of Jason clothes.
