CHAPTER 25: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE...
After spending the night with her nose in Kol's old grimores Bonnie finally found the spell she was looking for. It took her almost half of the night to learn expression but once she began she got a hod of it quickly. Bonnie was afraid to no ends what the expression would do to her, but more afraid of what she knew all the vampires would do. All this for one girl, she thought to herself...she knew Caroline from the small time she was in school with them but a lot of her memories seemed fuzzy (most likely from Caroline's over use of compulsion). Kol stormed into the room breaking Bonnie out of her meditation, she was building power to do the spell to bring Caroline back. No one could figure out why it was that Caroline still floated above Stefan's bed, still pretty much glowed...everyone was too worried about getting her back.
"Ready darling?" Kol asked Bonnie rhetorically but still trying to seem gentlemanly.
Bonnie nodded and after she gathered two of the grimores she left with Kol to the Salvatore Boarding House.
"I'm losing my temper Elijah"Niklaus said sitting in the same spot he had been since he got there, as close as Caroline's body would let him go. He looked at her from his spot on the floor by the foot of Stefan's bed. "I think i may fancy killing someone in the very near future, someone in the Bennet line, or perhaps the Salvatores...what do you think?"
"I think you should not act impulsively Niklaus"Elijah said looking down to his brother, who like him could barely control their emotions around their lifeless family member.
Through out all of their time they have experienced more death than anyone ever should have to, but not a single one of them cut as deep as this one. Though none of them would admit it, there was a very real possibility that they would not get Caroline back. Would the Bennet witch be strong enough to revive literally the most powerful being to ever walk the earth? Were they just fooling themselves with false hopes? None of the originals could answer that question but they were all willing to do what ever it takes to bring Caroline back to her body, back to their world.
"Well that is the harsh reality brother, it seems that we are not as much a like as you would like to believe. Maybe you were all right all of those times that you said the only reason i was bearable was because of her. Are you ready to live with what i will become without her brother? Are you?"Niklaus shot back to his older brother, standing eye to eye with him...challenging him. Though Elijah may have been older than Niklaus in their human life, his strength was of no comparison to Niklaus' in death.
"You aren't going to have to find out"Kol said walking into the bedroom with the Bennet witch and Stefan in tow. Bekah shot up out of the chair seeing Bonnie enter the room. "Seems little judgy witch learned expression overnight, looks like she's a natural player on our team"
"I am NOT on your team Kol"Bonnie said looking to him in disgust "I never will be, but it just so happens that my life is on the line so obviously im not going to sit around idly while you all come after me"
Kol and Elijah both smirked at the young witch enjoying her little confidence boost now that she had expression coursing through her veins. The Bennet would be lost for sure after this spell, even with the help of the Kitsune's spirit balls. Call it loyalty to family or whatever you'd like but none of them cared, all they wanted was what belonged with them. Always and forever.
"Well get on with it witch because even with your dark arts you are still no match for me"Nik said getting in her face, causing Bonnie to begin trembling.
"Get out of my face and i will"she spit at him small black veins coming from her eyes, sure she had a lot of power with the expression but was still nowhere near Caroline. She walked by you and you felt the raw power pouring from her.
Elijah pulled Nik back, but still remaining close enough to see everything. The witch didn't use and salt or candles, with the dark arts you didn't need them. It fed off your essence and that was what fueled all of your spells while using expression. Bonnie looked at Caroline's levitating figure and held her hands over her, not touching her. Suddenly Bonnie was shot back gasping.
"What is it?"Bekah asked worry dripping from her voice, she didn't even bother covering it up anymore, not one of the siblings did. Kol was right next to Bekah looking for answers.
"I can bring her back, but im not sure as what"Bonnie said looking at all of them
"What do you mean? She will come back human?"Nik asked the witch losing patience, just wanting to hold his wife. Every minute that passed without her, Niklaus broke a little more. There was only so much left of him and it was rapidly depleting.
"The glow around her"Bonnie said looking back at Caroline then back to them "I have only ever seen that one time before. When i was practicing for the spirits there was an entry on fallen angels. An extremely rare occurence when a supernatural dies and is judged by what ever it is we are all fated to. They are deemed pure of spirit...innocent of heart and are sent back to the land of the living. It takes a great deal of power to wake a fallen angel, and since the spirits refused to help me i am using a unconvential method of bringing her back."
"What are you getting"Kol asked irritated "Spit it out witch"
"She will still come back as a hyrbid. Half vampire and half angel. She will not have magic anymore other than the wings power which cannot be rivaled, even by Caroline's old powers."Bonnie said "The only problem is, she is being brought back with dark magic, she may come back dark...an arch angel"
"So what we have dealt with evil Caroline before"Bekah said "Get on with it"
"This wont be just evil Caroline"Bonnie said trying to stress the seriousness of the situation to the originals. "I'm not saying that she will be completely evil, but when she uses her wings powers she will be completely soulless, no conscious, no care for anything or anyone. Everything in her path would be expendable, no matter what their emotional connection is to her. Even you Niklaus!"
Nik looked at her and weighed the options in his head, which was never really a question.
"Bring my wife back now or i will take my time killing you"Nik said fiercely to Bonnie, she turned quickly obliging to the original without hesitation in fear of her life.
Bonnie began chanting in the old language of expression, it lasted about a minute before things started happening. Wind came from no where, the walls shook around them knocking books off of the shelves. Bekah grabbed onto Stefan's arm looking for some support, she missed Stefan terribly. Once her brothers told her what happened Bekah lost her mind, she couldn't bear the thought of her husband being dead and was so thankful that Caroline went back for him. No one was ready though for the price they had to pay.
The glowing around Caroline went from white to black to red to white again over and over as Bonnie chanted, Caroline still motionless. Suddenly Bonnie had the spirit balls in her hands, her eyes were pure black and she was chanting so fast it was unrecognizable. She then crushed the balls in her hands over Caroline, the family watched carefully as the mist inside they balls swirled above Caroline's figure before going into her nose, at that very moment Caroline gasped her eyes opening and her hand going to her throat and she took in unnecessary breaths as her eyes shot open. They werent black or red but her beautiful blue that pulled Niklaus in so tightly. Slowly Caroline started floating down onto the bed, Bonnie walked up to her and touched both of her hands to Caroline's face. They smiled at each other and Caroline nodded up at Bonnie. She then turned to her family who were standing there staring at her incredulously. She stood in what felt like the most graceful move she had ever made, as she stood long white gossamer like material flowed to her bare feet.
Caroline couldn't understand why her family was looking at her like that until she passed a wall length mirror and caught her reflection. There she stood with a slight glow around her body, her hair was the length it was when she was human, touching the tip of her rear end. Her eyes were the bluest she could ever remember them being , her skin seemed to have a golden glow to it...but the thing that stuck out the most was the enormous gold and pearl colored wings, she gasped looking at herself in the mirror when her husband, het mate appeared behind her.
"You look incredible love" Niklaus said walking up to her and running his fingers down her cheek, loving that she closed her eyes and leaned into his touch. "I have missed you"
Caroline turned to Nik, tears in her eyes and she leaned into him and pressed her lips to his. As if their kisses and touches weren't enough before there was something more magical about their connection now. It was probably because of the angel side of her, they would spend however long it took learning about her.
"I have been with you the whole time Nik, when they sent me back and i was sleeping i left my body and sat with you the entire time"Caroline said stroking his cheek as his breathing sped up "I even visited you in your dreams my love, but im sure you remember that"she winked at him playfully
"I knew i felt you with me"Nik said "and i should have figured you had control of my dreams you little tease"
Caroline smirked at her husband, after they began kissing again Caroline wings began sinking in to her back. Caroline tried to look behind her for the wings and smiled at Niklaus.
"I may not be a witch anymore but it seems you are still my talisman Nik"Caroline said releasing him and going up to her brothers and sister and embraced them each one by one. None of them wanting to let go of her worried that she would be taken again.
"Thank you Bonnie" Caroline said turning to her noticing the black veins coming up and disappearing, she grimaced at the thought of someone suffering that pain for her. She thought what the hell, may as well try out the new powers and placed her hands to Bonnies face. She didn't know what came over her but suddenly she knew what she had to do, and it shocked everyone. She brought her lips to Bonnie's looking like she was kissing her but in reality she was breathing purity into her to try and balance out her magics. Thankfully Caroline must have still been pretty powerful because the veins stopped appearing. Bonnie smiled genuinely at Caroline
"I never thought i would ever thank a girl for kissing me"Bonnie said with a giggle "But...thank you.."She said back to the awkward witch they first brought in.
"What now sweetheart"Nik asked coming up to her wrapping his arms around her, kissing her neck lovingly
"Take me home Nik"Caroline said leaning into her husbands touch relishing in the feeling she missed so much.
