Though Lovers Be Lost, part 1
They tried to shield her from seeing his lifeless body, but Bonnie ran past Stefan, sending him an aneurysm as he tried to grab her, holding her back. Standing around his body like great pillars, the Mikaelson's tried to keep Bonnie from seeing her husband's body.
"Don't….there is nothing you can do." Kol cried, trying to block her path.
"Move Kol," she ordered, "Move or I'll move you!"
"Bonnie stop this, love," Rebekah tried to calm her, embracing her, "He's...he's…" She couldn't finish the sentence.
Bonnie slightly relaxed in her arms, sobbing, then stiffened, "NO...NO," she yelled as she pushed Bekah away from her. "Move! I said move-"
"Step away, let her go to him," Mikael commanded, interrupting her, knowing that the witch would not be denied.
Elijah, Kol, Freya, Damon and Elena moved as if they were the red sea parting. On the ground next to Klaus, on her knees was Esther, weeping over her son.
When she looked up, seeing her daughter-in-law, she stood up with Mikael's help as she continued weeping, now, in his arms. Before her eyes Bonnie saw her love laying in the wet grass, beautiful, even though he was bloodied and broken.
If she didn't know better she could have convinced herself that he was sleeping...maybe he was..she walked over to him, dropping on her knees, hands on his chest. "Wake up...wake up...get up...Klaus!" Banging on his chest she yelled, "GET UP!" Now shaking him, her head bowed down as if in prayer she cried, "Please get up. Don't leave me. You promised...always...forever."
"Please...please...please…" Bonnie cried over and over as if the word was a mantra that would bring her slain king back to her. She rocked back and forth, holding him, cradling him.
All those who watched were silent except for the sounds of sobbing coming from Bekah and Esther, who were being held by Stefan and Mikael, respectively.
Damon and Elena watched, not knowing what to do or say, while the other Mikaelsons averted their eyes in grief, trying, themselves, to come to terms with the unexpected and horrible turn of events.
Kol, not able to bear seeing the anguish that Bonnie, his sister, now, was going through, stooped down to take her away from his brother's broken body, when he grabbed her shoulders she wailed, "NO, NO! Leave me, leave me!"
As Bonnie yelled, a pulse of magic released from her body, spreading the pain and turmoil that was consuming her causing them to feel her emotions. The pulse was so powerful it was like a bomb going off, throwing Damon and Elena back a few feet on their backs. It would have done the same to Stefan but he was holding on the Rebekah.
The blast displaced the air around the Mikaelsons whipping across their faces and blowing their hair, but they stood in place. The thunder rumbled and crashed as the sky opened and a deluge of rain began falling.
The grass, flowers and trees in a close radius started withering, wilting or becoming empty husks. After Bonnie released the pulse she slumped over.
Mikael let go of his wife and gently picked up his daughter, cradling her to him. "Elijah, pick up Niklaus. We need to go back to the abattoir," he looked around at each one of them, "All of us."He commanded and no one dared to disobey, even Damon.
They were all in the large study, most were idling drinking, while others sat in silence not knowing what to do. Freya and Esther walked in the room.
"She's sleeping. That much magic rushing out of her put a toll on her. I also said a sleeping spell over her. Hopefully she will sleep for awhile." Freya informed the group.
"Good," Mikael said, then without warning, using his vampiric speed he had Damon by the throat and lifted in the air before anyone knew what was happening, "What the bloody hell happened? Why is my son lying in the other room dead?"
Frantically everyone in the room moved, but for different reasons. Elena screamed, then pleaded for the original patriarch to let go of her lover as she started crying uncontrollably. Kol sat, holding his third glass of bourbon with a sadistic smirk on his face. Elijah and Esther rushed to Mikael, trying to pull him away. Stefan wanted to help his brother, but he was torn between his loyalty to Damon and the fact that he blamed Damon for this fuck up and he was consoling Rebekah.
No one could get through to him as he was close to snapping Damon's head clean off his shoulders. It was the sound of his newest daughter that compelled him to not act on his paternal primal instinct.
"Please let him go, Mikael. There is much he has to explain." Bonnie said as she walked into the study, greeted by shocked expressions, especially from Freya.
"How is it possible?" Freya asked in awe, knowing that the spell she placed on her should have kept her sleeping for hours.
"The pain is too great for respite and I have questions." Bonnie said to Freya but her green eyes were focussed on Damon and by extension Elena, who was next to her lover, trying to baby him as he healed.
Bonnie stopped in front of them, eyes cold as death and contained rage boiling under her skin. "Yes Damon please tell us what happened?"
He looked down, unable to meet her eyes. "I didn't know Kai would find it." He offered lamely.
"That is not the point at the present moment, Damon. You said you took care of it."
"I thought...I had it handled." He offered lamely.
"Obviously not," pipped in Kol sarcastically.
"It's not his fault, Klaus said he would end Kai-" Elena tried to defend her man.
"Shut the fuck up Elena," Bonnie snarled, "This is your fault, both of you."
"Bonnie how can you be like that?" Elena whined, trying to squeeze out a tear, now that she stopped crying, still trying to play the innocent, poor victim.
"How, how? What the fuck? Are you so wrapped up in your own insignificant life that you can't see pass your own needs." Bonnie hissed, the lights flickering in response to her emotions as her magic was barely contained.
"You...you...Klaus said he would protect me..I..I..am sorry." Elena stammered, looking down at her feet, unable to look Bonnie in the eyes.
"Yeah...well tell that to my husband...my HUSBAND. You come running to me...as always...wanting me to fix your shit. You begged and pleaded, both of you. Always gotta save poor Elena from some big bad somebody."
"After not hearing from you in two years, you come crawling, asking for help. And because of our past friendship I asked Klaus...I asked my family to help," Elena lifted her head, her eyes widening, Bonnie noticed, "Yes, I asked MY family to help you against my better judgement, against Klaus' warnings." She looked at them with disdain as her voice wavered with emotion.
"Damon you had one job, destroy the white oak dagger and you manage to fuck it up." Bonnie was beyond furious, but she held her composure, the threads were quickly unravelling.
"Bon-," Damon started, but was interrupted.
"Bonnie," she said with venom dripping from her mouth.
"Bonnie," he corrected,"I..I had it hidden. I was on my way to get it and destroy it when Kai called me, taunting that he was close to Elena, watching her, so...so I figured I would make sure she was safe then get it, but when I got to the hiding spot it was gone. I went to the witch who spelled it and...I found her with her throat sliced."
"Why didn't you say anything," Mikael asked, contemplating his words, ready to kill the vampire, "It sounds like horse shit, you can't be that stupid or pathetic to be baited like that."
"Yes he is and yes he can, fucking muppet, but I think he is lying." Kol hissed as he rushed to his feet.
"I didn't...I..the...the...plan was solid and I thought, I thought...Klaus would be able to kill him."
"You fucking bastard." Bonnie cursed. You didn't even care did you. You didn't even have the decency to warn him," she accused, stepping closer to him.
"You didn't care as long as Elena was okay, you fucking bastard. You only had to get the fucking dagger and burn it, but no, as usual you put Elena first before anyone or anything else."
"Bon...Bonnie I'm so sorry. I didn't know that he would get it and spell it." Damon said lamely, putting his head down, unable to bear the look of disgust in her eyes.
"Where is he, Damon? Where would he go?" Elijah inquired.
"How would I know?" He said flippantly.
"Well he isnt going to leave here until he gets Elena. And you, Damon, are going to offer her up." Bonnie informed him.
"What?" Both Damon and Elena exclaimed in horror.
"You heard me. You are going to tell him that you are a selfish piece of shit and that you are offering up your bitch so that the Mikaelsons don't kill you for what he did. Get him here and we will handle it and I will finish him once and for all." Bonnie directed.
"Bonnie I don't-"
"Damon you don't have a say in the matter, because I promise you that what you are going to tell him is the truth. You contact him tomorrow, you have his number since he called you. Tell him you will bring Elena to him and you will be accompanied by Mikael and myself to make sure the deal is done."
Damon looked at her like she was crazy, then looked at the faces of everyone else, including his brother, then he turned to Elena, smiled at her encouragingly, then replied, "Okay."
"And Damon don't fuck up." Bonnie ordered, then she walked out the room leaving everyone shocked by the change in her demeanor, but also proud, except for two people who were nervous and apprehensive and scared, rightfully so.
Sadistically Kai decided the best place to meet was in the field where he dispatched Klaus, his sense of ironic humor and he got a kick out of getting under people's skin.
"Well, I see we meet again, will at least my dear friend Damon and my beautiful prize," he smirked sarcastically.
"I am quivering with excitement, finally having the pleasure of meeting the infamous patriarch of the Originals," he said as he bowed and shivered in glee, "And the enchanting and lovely Bennett witch, more beautiful and shorter than I expected." Kai smiled stupidly as he was fanboying.
Bonnie rolled her eyes as she took the man's features. He was good looking, dark hair, pleasant smile, but in the eyes she saw emptiness. Mikael stood stoic, his face hard as granite. The vampire lovers looked nervous as they stood close but not touching.
"So I take it you are the reason I finally get what I want," he inquired of Mikael, "Sorry I had to put an end to your son, but one has to crack a few eggs when making an omelette." Kai said nonchalantly.
"Why did you kill my son?" Mikael asked, trying to control his rage.
Kai sobered up, his face getting serious, "He stood in my way of getting what I want. He thought he was the big bad hybrid," he said stepping up to Mikael, "He thought he could keep me from my destiny."
He walked past Mikeal to Damon and Elena, "With her blood, even though she is a vampire now, I will be the most powerful witch ever known." He then walked around them, continuing to monologue as he finally stopped in front of a fuming Bonnie, "All creatures will be subjugated and ruled by me."
"He came to me in his hubris saying he could not be killed," he chuckled, "I guess he didn't know that his so-called ally doubled crossed him."
Bonnie's head shot around to look at a scared Damon. Kai started laughing from his stomach, bent over, straightening up he said, trying to contain his laughter, "AHHH, I see you have been a bad little boy mon ami. You see your friend here isn't too smart, apparently. He doesn't see the big picture, does he," he tauntingly asked Bonnie.
"My buddy, my pal, my dog, here," Kai smiled as he walked back to Damon, then clapped and squeezed Damon's shoulder and side hugged him to Damon's disgust, "Was so concerned with his lady love here, that he decided to sell out the savior apparent. Offered up your boy real fast, like a calf to the slaughter. Told me he knew of a way to kill the hybrid. Gave that information up real quick too in exchange for not draining his love."
Kai smirked as he regaled them with his sordid tale of betrayal. "Told me about the white oak dagger and a witch was hiding it, even told me I could expect a visit from him since Niklaus was also interested in Elena."
The monologue continued, "But the beauty of this is...wait...wait for it...," he paused in absolute amusement, "I was already aware of the dagger," he giggled uncontrollably, "I just didn't know that the great Niklaus Mikaelson would be trying to impede on my territory."
"I can explain…" Damon tried to do damage control, but Mikael using vampiric speed was on him in seconds, grabbing him by the neck.
Elena watched in terror, "Please Bonnie...please don't let him kill him" She cried.
"Well, I will leave you all to sort out the details while I take what is mine. And Bonnie don't try anything heroic. I hear you have a messiah complex." Kai said, sing-songy as he grabbed Elena by the arm and yanked her towards him.
Had to end it here, sorry...
