I'm Only Me When I'm With You

Chapter 25- I Love You

Bonnie's P.O.V

Damon and I entered the room where our friends were waiting with baited breath for our return, smiles on our faces. Damon's smile was more of a smirk but mine was big and dauntless because of the fact that I'd sort of defeated Katherine. All I needed now was to kill her or do something equally dreadful to her.

Jeremy jumped up the second he saw me and spread out his arms. I walked towards him cautiously and then slipped my arms around him, holding him close and trying to be careful with my new strength because compared to me he was omnipotent.

"What did you do to Katherine?" Stefan asked, raising an eyebrow as Damon sat down next to Elena and Caroline on the bed, both of who were watching us curiously.

"I sealed her into her room. She can't escape," I said, a smile on my face.

"Well, let's go check she's still inside. Bonnie, of course you come, and also Nick," Stefan suggested.

"I want to come," Damon spoke up, getting up off the bed and huffing his chest out as if not to appear helpless.

"Aren't you tired from being held prisoner?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No," Damon lied.

I shot him a meaningful look and he seemed to cringe under it.

"Fine, I am a little tired, but I want to see this bitch defeated," He said, determinedly.

I rolled my eyes at him and Stefan just shook his head. "Just let him come. Caroline, could you stay here with Elena and Jeremy?" He asked my blonde friend who had been watching our exchanges with a mixture of amusement and boredom.

Caroline nodded. "Sure," She leaned back on the bed.

Jeremy touched my arm lightly. "Is there any way I can convince you to let me come?" He asked, in a hurt sort of voice.

I shook my head and then followed Damon, Nick and Stefan out of the room. I blew Jeremy a kiss as I saw him slump down on the bed, looking bored out of his brain. He just sighed again and then Damon pulled my arm and we were running down the stairs again.

We hurried to Katherine's room and she was indeed still inside along with a couple of her guards who had probably entered and got stuck inside with her. I smirked and waved at her and Damon just stood there grinning.

"How do you like being imprisoned again?" He asked, a cynical tone to his voice.

Katherine got up and zipped over to the door, fury flashing across her face. "I will get revenge once I get out, especially on your little witch," She hissed at him.

Damon just rolled his eyes and Stefan and I laughed. Nick chuckled and betrayal flashed across Katherine's face as she noted him. "You, what are you doing with them? I thought you were on my side," She hissed.

"You were trying to kill the best friend of my half sister," Nick said, defiance clear on his face. He folded his arms across his chest and glared at her.

"What?" Stefan asked, confused.

"He's Isobel's son," I put in, summarizing everything he had told me before.

"Does Elena know this?" Stefan asked.

I shook my head as Katherine snarled. I knew she was mad at the love that was coloring Stefan's voice as he spoke about looked away, hatred reflected on her face clearly. Suddenly, her eyes filled with fear as she noticed something behind us.

We turned and saw that a group of 4 men who I sensed as vampires dressed in black were standing behind us. They stood there in formation not saying a thing.

"We are here to take Ms. Petrova away," One of the guys who had a British accent spoke, coming forward slightly.

We stepped back and let them through as Katherine screamed and pushed backwards. They caught her in a second and I released the seal on the door the second they dragged her through the door, wailing.

"Who are you?" Stefan asked, curiously.

One of the guys smiled, a devious malevolent smile. "We are Originals working for Klaus," He replied.

"And what do you want of Ms. Petrova?" Damon asked, a confused look on his face.

"Let's just say that Klaus needs her for a special reason. We heard there's a new doppelganger," Another spoke.

"Really?" Stefan feigned surprise. "It can't be,"

"But it is," The guy said, "Now we must get back. If any of you find the doppelganger be sure to get in contact with Klaus. If not, we will find her ourselves sooner or later,"

"Why do you need her?" I asked, without thinking.

"Klaus needs her for a sacrifice," One said.

"We need to leave," The one with the British accent spoke, and then they stood in a diamond formation, clutching Katherine and then they disappeared.

"That was weird," Damon muttered.

"We got rid of Katherine," I exclaimed, a happy smile on my face.

"We were badass," Damon replied, grinning.

"We didn't do anything," Stefan reminded us with an amused smile.

Nick grinned too, but then the smile faded. "Do you think they'll hurt her really bad? She was good to me," He said, a rueful look on his face.

I sighed, "Katherine's good at making people think she cares. She's good at fooling and deceiving people. Let's just say it was probably better she was taken away." I explained.

"I guess I'm free to return to America now," Nick said.

I nodded, "Let's go tell Caroline and the others," I murmured, singing Caroline's name in my mind. I missed her and the rest of them; things had been so crazy lately.

Suddenly Caroline, Jeremy and Elena were walking towards us.

"We were just coming to tell you that Katherine's gone," I said, wonder in my voice.

"Yeah, you called me," Caroline explained, smiling a little.

"Really? I didn't do it on purpose," I muttered.

"Maybe it's a new Vampire Witch thing," Elena suggested, coming over to put her arms around me. I hugged her back.

"I missed you guys. It's been so crazy these past few weeks," I complained.

"I know," Caroline joined in our hug. "I can't believe Katherine's gone,"

"Finally," Jeremy said, a smile on his face.

I pulled out of the hug and turned to Nick. "Elena, this is your half brother," I introduced my best friend, pulling her over until she was facing him.

Elena's eyes widened just as I expected them to. "What?" She said, in a shocked voice. "Are you kidding me, Bon?"

I shook my head. "No, he's Isobel's son with a previous lover or whatever. His Dad is a warlock and he was turned when he was old enough," I explained and Elena still looked shocked.

"I can't believe it," She said, looking at her new family member with awe.

"I couldn't believe I had a sister," Nick replied, smiling a little.

"How about we leave those two to get to know each-other?" I suggested and the rest of them followed me into Katherine's now deserted living room. I sat down on the couch and Jeremy sat down next to me, his arm around my waist. We snuggled up together and the rest of them hurried to another room to give us some alone time. Damon shot me a wistful look before he followed them.

"So we're going to spend one last night here at the Chateaux before we can finally head home to Mystic Falls," I sighed, putting my head on his shoulder.

Jeremy stroked my hair lightly, pushing some out of my eyes. "We need some normalcy definitely. Hey Bon, will you go out with me when we get back?" He said.

"Sure," I smiled, knowing that it would be fun to have something normal like a date to enjoy even though I was now a Vampire Witch. I tried to ignore the thudding of Jeremy's blood in his neck and instead I focused on something else.

"Jer, if you don't want to be with me anymore, I understand," I muttered.

Jeremy looked shocked. "Why would I not want to be with you anymore?" He asked, in a quiet voice.

"Because I'm now a Vampire Witch and you're a vampire hunter," I informed him.

"You're only half a vampire and besides, how many times do I have to tell you: I love you more than anything," He murmured, his lips brushing against my forehead.

I shivered at the contact, and then Jeremy stood up and said:

"Doubt that the stars are fire, doubt that the sun doth move, doubt truth to be a liar but never doubt I love," He recited from Hamlet, ending with a flourish.

I giggled. "You're funny, Jeremy…" I said, as he jumped back onto the couch next to me with a little bounce.

"Not really but we're taking Hamlet this year," He explained.

I gulped and then smiled at him. "I love you, Jeremy," I whispered.

Jeremy's eyes turned a warm shade of brown and his lips parted into a smile. He brushed some hair away from the side of my face and cupped my cheek in his hand, stroking it softly. Then he leaned towards me and we kissed tenderly. In his arms, I believed that everything was perfect and that everything was going to be okay.

We didn't notice the black haired blue eyed vampire who was watching us from the doorway, feeling depressed that he was always the 2nd choice.
