~Bonnie~
You know how your life flashes before your eyes before you die? Well my little trip took all of about four seconds at the most. Guess that means I've lived quite a short life. And I guess I will die young. Unless….
~Stefan~
I was almost there. The scent was getting stronger. I came out into a wide area of the dark woods. I saw the guy standing beside Bonnie. There was some misty smoke like thing hovering above an unconscious Bonnie.
"No stop!" I yelled
The guy flung his hand back and I found myself flying backwards and hitting a tree knocking the breath out of me. I sat up on my knees trying to breath. I looked up to see the misty like thing go into Bonnie with another smokey mist like thing come out of her and drift off into the dark sky disappearing.
"Goodbye Bonnie. Being only one soul can occupy a body Beth needs it more than you. Plus she's more powerful than you." said the guy looking up into the sky
"No!" I yelled stumbling to my feet.
I shoved the guy to the side and quickly broke the chains on Bonnie's wrists. She opened her eyes and looked at me. She had a look of interest and curiosity.
"Bonnie? Are you okay?" I asked taking her face into my hands.
"Bonnie?" she said confused
Then she pulled away and looked over in the direction I had flung the guy.
"Eli?" she called
He stood and smiled at her then as if it didn't take much strength at all he shoved me aside. He kissed her deeply.
"Beth. I've missed you so much." Eli said
"It's okay my love I'm here. And I rather like this body it's quite comfortable. She has so much power that was just itching to get out." she said as she put her arms around his neck
I could feel my blood boiling. He killed her right in front of me and I'd be damned if he got her. I ran to tackle him to the side then the girl who took Bonnie raise her hand stopping me in mid air.
"My you must care about the previous witch enough to get yourself killed." she said with an intriguing look
I didn't say anything. She smirked.
"I'll get rid of him." Eli offered.
"No I will. It only seems right after one of you killed me to begin with." she said
She started clenching her fist. I could feel my airways closing not that I really needed to breath. Then in the next instant she flung me backwards. I landed on my feet. Then Bonnie grabbed a hold of Eli around the throat with both hands. Eli started screaming in agony. Bonnie's hands were steaming. She was burning his neck. Then Eli slapped her across the face sending her off the stone table. I was at her side before he could hit her again. I hit Eli across the face sending him backwards. But in mid air he disappeared. I picked her up and set her on the stone table.
~Bonnie~
"Bonnie are you alright?" Stefan asked as he took my face into his hand examining the area where I was slapped
It was sore and starting to bruise.
"How'd you know?" I asked
"Closing off my airways when I don't need to breathe?"
I laughed a little.
"Yeah thinking under pressure isn't my forte." I said
"What the hell Beth? It has taken me centuries to get this far!" Eli exclaimed making us both jump
He was leaning against a tree. The flame on the torches were getting dangerously high. I stood then took a step back nearly tripping. Stefan was in front of me protectively.
"Who said I was Beth?" I said
"What!" he exclaimed "I saw you! You left your body!"
I shook my head no.
"If you're still here then…" Eli trailed off
"Beth went poof." I said
"How?" he questioned starting to get furious
"If I told you I'd have to kill you." I said sarcastically
"No!" he yelled making me jump
I felt shaky inside. I clutched Stefan's hand. He gently squeezed my hand reassuring me everything would be okay. But I wasn't so sure. Then all of the sudden Stefan was flung sideways. I stood alone.
"I am going to rip your heart out you witch!" Eli snarled
Then he turned toward Stefan.
"I'm going to make you watch so you know just how I felt when one of your kind killed my love." he hissed
"Don't." Stefan said with pleading eyes
"Then again I might just kill you first."
Eli started making his way toward Stefan. Holding out his hand I watched he Dagger appear in his hand. I quickly mumbled something and fire from one of the torches flung my way and I held out my hand directing it at Eli. He fell to his knees with his breath getting heavy. I helped Stefan to his feet and I could tell he was losing strength. Then all of the sudden I caught a glimpse of a vision.
I could see myself over Stefan's body. It was cold and dead. I mean actually dead. He wasn't moving and he was pretty banged up. It seemed so real. Then all of the sudden I was back to where I was.
It must have been a not so distant future I saw. He was looking down at me with worry. Then I saw Eli coming at him from behind.
"Wait n-" I started as I moved in front of Stefan.
I looked down to see the dagger pierce through my gut.
