The Bayou
"The Book of the Dead Man's Eye? Bonnie, it's forbidden magic. That book is dangerous." After some hard negotiation, Bonnie had convinced the Mikaelson family and Hayley to organize a meeting with Katelyn in the den of the Crescent wolves. Bonnie had presented her case and her request. She knew Katelyn wasn't going to be okay with it right off the back. It was a lot to ask. She would be risking her life.
"I know, but it's the only way to break the voodoo curse," Bonnie stresses, "Plus, you wouldn't be doing any magic yourself. I'll be doing the spell. I just need to channel you to add to my magic power."
"It's still risky. We could both die." She looks around at the vampires and werewolves surrounding them. "And while I have nothing against the Mikaelson family, I don't plan on dying for vampires."
"Look at that. Your cousin is just as mouthy and stupid as you are," Rebekah remarks, "Seems to run in the family."
Bonnie glares at Rebekah before turning back to Katelyn. "I know it's a lot to ask of you. I also know we don't know each other that well. But we're family. And our family is made up of powerful witches and magic even if there aren't many of us left. If any two witches can do this spell and survive, it's you and me."
Katelyn stares at Bonnie for a moment. There was so much sincerity in her face. She was one step from begging for Katelyn's help. It almost made her feel bad that she was tricking her. Almost… "Fine. I'll do it. But you owe me, Bonnie. You owe me a lot."
"I know. I wouldn't be asking you if it wasn't important. Thank you." She turns to Rebekah and Elijah. "I need you two to bring Klaus to the Manor. We'll perform the spell there. By the time you get there, we should have everything set up."
Elijah nods. "Are you quite sure this is going to work?"
Bonnie sighs heavily. "It has to."
Mikaelson Manor
Bonnie finishes drawing symbols on the floor exactly like they had been presented in The Book of the Dead Man's Eye. She hadn't even started the incantation but she could already feel the power of the book flowing through her veins. It scared her, but she had no choice. This was the only way to get Klaus back. She stands to her feet wiping the chalk off her hands. "That should be okay. Now we just need Klaus and his blood."
"There's no way for us to get Klaus's blood from him," Katelyn says.
"We don't need it. I've already talked to Hayley."
The hybrid comes from the house holding a small vile. She hands it to Bonnie. "Hope's blood. This better work."
"It will." Bonnie takes the vile. She walks over to Katelyn. "Since Hope is Klaus's daughter, this will work just as well as his blood."
A gust of wind blows through the courtyard and Rebekah and Elijah are standing in the middle of it with a restrained Klaus. He was fighting against them despite the chains and their hold on him. There was no human emotion in his eyes. It clutched at Bonnie's heart. She had to remain neutral. She couldn't let her emotions get the better of her. Not with the trickiness of blood magic.
"Put him in the middle of the symbols," she orders.
Elijah and Rebekah drag the struggling Klaus to the middle of the symbols. They push him onto his knees and Bonnie sprinkles a little of the blood on the circle. It lights up before dimming. "This will keep him inside the symbols so he won't hurt anyone."
The other two vampires leave the circle leaving Klaus alone. He tries to use his vampire speed to lunge at Bonnie, but runs into the invisible magic barrier she created. He growls pushing against it trying to get to her. Her face remains stone cold.
"We're ready," she says. She picks up a piece of rope. In the middle of the rope is a complicated, intricate knot. She grabs one end of the knot and Katelyn grabs the other end. They look at each other and Katelyn nods towards Bonnie. Bonnie lets out a deep breath and starts chanting softly pouring the remaining contents of the blood vile on the knot. Her chanting gets louder and louder. Klaus struggles more against the barrier eyes solely trained on Bonnie as his target. He starts to scream from anger and frustration.
Bonnie gets even louder in her chanting. Her nose starts to bleed as the rope rises from the hands of the two witches. A slash from an invisible knife cuts across Bonnie's leg then across Katelyn's arm.
"Bonnie!" Cami cries out.
She's held back by Davina. "Blood magic calls for blood. Bonnie knows what she's doing."
The knot starts to glow as more cuts are given to the girls. Bonnie tries not to focus on the pain they bring her. She tries to focus on Klaus, on their bond, on getting him back. The symbols on the ground start to glow with the rope. Katelyn cries out as a slash is sent across her side. She tries to keep focusing on the rope, on undoing the spell. Bonnie chants as loud as she can. Klaus drops to his knees grabbing at his chest in pain. A final slash is made across the skin shielding Bonnie's heart as the knot comes out of the rope. Klaus falls unconscious and the rope falls to the floor as the glowing stops. Bonnie and Katelyn fall to their knees breathing heavily and covered in cuts and their own blood.
Cami then rushes over to Bonnie examining her injuries. "Bonnie…"
"I'm fine," Bonnie whispers. She looks over at Klaus.
He slowly starts to come to as his siblings surrounding him. He groans as his eyes flutter open. His vision is blurry at first, but then it clears. Bonnie can feel the emotions of relief and confusion and she knows the emotions are not hers. She smiles slightly knowing their connection has been restored. Klaus sits up straight looking between his siblings.
"Those witches are dead," he hisses.
Rebekah smiles. "Bloody right. They've been causing too much trouble."
"We'll deal with the witches when we're 100% sure their hold on you is broken," Elijah chimes in.
Klaus stands to his feet. His eyes settled on Bonnie and once again she can see the love in them. She had missed it. She smiles at him. "Klaus…"
"Bonnie…" he smiles back, but the smile soon disappears, "Bonnie?"
After her name leaves his lips, her body gives out and she goes unconscious being caught by Cami before her head could hit the ground.
