Thank you all for your reviews. I am so glad that you enjoyed this story. But I wanted to address a comment made about this not being Bonnie or how she would act. I'm not sure what the person meant that it wasn't Bonnie, but I think that what was seen in the first chapter was a woman very much in love and was in pain. And I think that is understandable. This is an AU so it does not follow closely with canon and Bonnie and the rest of the characters may be OOC.
Please enjoy this next update. Be safe and be good people.
Though Lovers Be Lost, Part 2
The wind started up violently, blowing and howling through the trees, whipping Bonnie's and Elena's hair about. Bonnie stood arms at her side, fists balled, legs parted as hate and fury wafted off her body.
She didn't know who she hated most, the people that claimed to be her friends, but only looked out for their own selfish interests or the psychopath that tortured and killed her husband.
She decided that she hated them all with equal measure. Kai killed Klaus, but Damon gave him the means and Elena was the reason, she was always the reason why Bonnie lost someone she loved.
Bonnie had a plan and they would all pay for their part.
Under her breath she mumbled a spell that stopped Kai in his tracks. Mikael growled, still holding Damon by the neck, throwing him down on his knees.
"Now, Elijah," Bonnie called out. From behind some trees Elijah emerged carrying Klaus in his arms, followed by Esther and Freya.
"What is this? What are you up to?" Kai asked looking around at the new arrivals, chuckling, amused at the moment, not feeling too threatened.
"What's happening, mon ami, is you and your friends are going to bring Klaus back," Bonnie said as cold as ice.
Kai laughed, "You are a delight indeed. So, a Bennett witch is coming to the aid of vampires...the Original vampire family, at that. I bet your ancestors are really proud of you," he mocked.
"But let me enlighten you, first, this spell is amateur at best and will not hold me." He said with a flick of his wrist, effectively countering the spell, walking up to Bonnie with a sickening smile on his handsome face.
"Second, he is dead and he is not coming back. The other side is gone and any supernaturals that die are dead and gone. And for an added kicker, you are no match for me, none of you witches," he scoffed as he waved his hand, as if he was waving away a fly, using his magic to push Esther, Freya and Elijah a few feet, them landing on their backs.
Kai smirked, standing directly in front of Bonnie. "You can have that sorry excuse for a vampire, get your revenge on him, but I am leaving with her and you will not stop me." He warned.
"I didn't say you would willingly bring him back." Bonnie stood with her back straight, but her stance was relaxed and arrogant, and she smirked now, channeling her best Klaus nonplussed look.
"All of you are going to bring him back and pay for even thinking you could ever end Klaus Mikaelson without any recompense."
"Bonnie what are you talking about? Please, I didn't know about what Damon did, but he was only trying to help me. Just like you asked Klaus to do." Elena tried to reason and plead through tears.
She was ignored by both Kai and Bonnie.
"Little girl, you haven't got enough magic or experience to think you can go toe to toe with me. Maybe you should table this until you've got your big girl panties on." Kai snickered.
In response, Bonnie rolled her eyes and lifted her hand, flicking her wrist sending a pulse of magic at him, throwing him back against a tree, while entrapping Elena in a containment spell.
Esther and Freya had gotten up and were chanting spells over Klaus repairing the damage done to his body and reversing the slight signs of decay. Bonnie would restore everything else.
Mikael kept Damon down on his knees, in front of Bonnie, "If Bonnie didn't have plans for you, I would be feeding you your own heart, you traitorous coward." Mikael hissed at him.
"Bon...Bon please let me explain...I...I...didn't know he would actually be able to use it...I'm...I mean...I..you got to understand...I'm sorry." He begged for her understanding as he hung his head bowed.
"Shut up Damon," she commanded.
"Nice little trick, got anything better than that, shit, that's just foreplay baby," Kai taunted as he sauntered towards Bonnie, after picking himself up off the ground. With his hands stretched out he lifted them, levitating Bonnie up in the air.
Elijah moved to tackle him but Bonnie stopped him, "NO!" She ordered. He stayed in place, adhering to her insistence, waiting to see what her next move would be. She clapped her hands together causing a lightning bolt to strike Kai, causing him to release her. Mikael caught her before she hit the ground.
After Mikael placed her gently down, she walked over to Klaus' body and fell on her knees. Kai was temporarily knocked out. Elena stood crying as Damon was on his knees watching Bonnie.
Bonnie dug her nails and hands into the ground, "Move away," she told the Mikaelsons. She started chanting in an unknown language mixed with Latin. The chanting grew louder, "Give me what I want! Give me what I want!"
The ground shook and rumbled, lightning illuminated the sky and thunder sounded. "I command you! Expression is my will manifest, now give me what I will!"
A Voice called out, "There is a price to pay. Life for life." She dug deeper into the soil, eyes black as coal, black veins streaking her face and arms. "It will be paid." She shouted.
Roots and vines slithered and crawled over Klaus' body, covering him in a thick cocoon of dirt, roots and vines.
Kai regained consciousness, dazed, staggering to his feet, confused, he attempted to run up on Bonnie, not understanding what was happening, realizing that the magic in the air was ancient and powerful. And for once, in a very long time he was scared.
"I command you to conform to my will. I command you to do my bidding. My enemies shall be the fuel for your fire and your price will be paid!" She continued.
Black tendrils of magic seeped out of Bonnie like smoke, then formed into bat-like creatures. The creatures flew through the air, twisting and turning then they dove into Elena, Damon and Kai, bringing him back to his knees.
Kai, groaned and whimpered through clenched teeth and pain, "What manner of magic...magic is this?" He body tense, rigid with pain. "What are you doing to me?" He gritted as the veins in his neck and face bulged and the capillaries in his eyes burst, causing the whites of his eyes to turn red with blood. "What are you? Who are you?"
Bonnie was now standing, roots and vines protruding from her legs and arms shooting into the deep earth, her eyes now milky white, her hair turned ghostly platinum dancing in the wind. She smirked.
"You arrogant fool. You wished to take what was not yours, to obtain power you can only hope to contain, but cannot fathom. I am that power that you seek. I am the Bennett Queen, the direct descendant of the first witch, the practitioner of spirit magic, the overseer of dark magic and the mistress of the ancient power of expression. But most importantly, I am Mrs Niklaus Mikaelson and I will have my pound of flesh." Bonnie said in a voice that sounded modulated and echoed with power.
As the three conspirators watched Bonnie, in fear, their life forces were being sucked out of them, causing Elena and Damon to begin desiccating. As he cried out in excruciating pain, Kai felt his bones breaking and organs failing as his magic was violently sucked out of him. Next his fluids were slowly siphoned from his body turning him into a hollow husk.
Just before Kai was completely gone, Bonnie taunted him, "Remember there is no other side, but there will be no hell for you either. I will have your soul and it will be dried out and scattered in the wind," she turned her head to look at Elena and Damon, "That goes for you two as well."
Once Kai's body resembled a thousand year mummy the black smoke bat-like creatures of magic returned to Bonnie. The same happened with Elena, but with Damon, Bonnie withdrew the magic before it could fully desiccate him, having all the life force she needed.
Once the magic returned, she redirected it to Klaus through the roots and vines. Varying colors of light could be seen through the cocoon as expression and spirit magic set about doing Bonnie's will. Once done, all the magic returned to Bonnie. The roots and vines resided and Bonnie fell to her knees.
She weakly crawled to Klaus, kneeling over him, she grabbed his face and kissed him. "Come back to me, my love. I am waiting for you." She cried.
She felt a faint spark, a shock of electricity from their bond, the sign their bond was restored and her love was back. Quickly she used her magic to cut into her wrist that shoved it to his lips, allowing the blood to freely flow into his mouth. She felt his lips move, then he grabbed her wrist with both hands and greedily sucked from her.
Klaus sucked and sucked, feeling his body respond to the nourishment of the powerful blood that he was taking in. He felt the strength of the bond between him and his love growing stronger. Quickly he stopped feeding for fear of drinking too much, but he was still weak and hungry.
He opened his eyes to see beautiful green eyes, "Hi," he mumbled as Bonnie pressed her lips to kiss him again, tasting her own blood. "I thought I lost you. How do you feel?" She asked, concerned as she withdrew from him searching his face and body.
"You did my love. I was gone, adrift in a sea of black nothingness without you my love, my anchor. But, now...I'm..uhm..better, weak and hungry...but good," he truthfully admitted, feeling no shame in front of his wife.
She smiled and kissed him again, a quick kiss, then shaky she got up. The Mikaelsons now walked over to her and Klaus. Esther and Freya hugged her.
"That was some show." Mikael commented as he and Elijah helped Klaus stand, both on either side of him.
Bonnie wiped the blood from her lips and smiled, "It's not over yet." Klaus' head was slumped down. He was too weak to lift it up.
Damon lay on the ground weak and nearly desiccated but aware of what was happening around him as he watched with fear and amazement that Klaus was alive and the power he witnessed from Bonnie.
He watched as Bonnie walked over to Kai's body, waving a hand over it, it was set aflame. He watched with tears in his eyes as she walked over to Elena's body and did the same.
She walked over to him and knelt down, close to his ear she whispered, "Don't worry, soon you will join you beloved Elena."
Days passed and life slowly was returning to normal. Everyone was caught up with what happened with Kai and Elena. And everyone, including Stefan, were made aware of Damon's involvement with Klaus' death and they were enlightened by the events of his resurrection.
Stefan knew that his brother was being tortured and was going to die and although he was saddened by the realization, he knew that Damon caused this outcome all on his own for thinking only about Elena and not caring about anyone else.
Klaus' convalescence was shortened by the help of Bonnie's blood, two additional blood bags, once home and a homeless transient he found as he hunted the streets.
Bonnie had been bed ridden due to the amount of magic she expelled to bring him back, falling into a magically induced coma-like state, re-energizing and resting peacefully and beautifully as Klaus watched over her for hours at a time.
The Mikaelsons took turns caring for Bonnie or just sitting with her, trying to give Klaus a break to tend to other things. Even Kol came in a few times to read to her or vent about Davina or his siblings unfairly judging him.
During this time Klaus, Elijah and Mikael took their turns torturing Damon down in the basement where he was chained to the wall.
Stefan went down once to see him and say his farewells. "Why," he asked, shaking his head in disappointment. "Why did you have to do it?"
"I didn't think-"
"You never think, not past Elena," Stefan interrupted him.
"I know, I know I didn't think. I thought it would buy us time to get away. I needed to get Elena away and safe. That Klaus and Bonnie would take him down. I swear I didn't know that the bastard would actually get the dagger or get close enough to use it." His voice cracked thinking about Elena.
Stefan knew his brother and of course he knew he was lying. "Or maybe you thought you would get rid of two birds with one stone," he offered, looking at his brother.
Damon laughed weakly, "Maybe...who knows...maybe...I thought that bastard and his family got their claws in you and he got his paws on Bonnie. Maybe I wanted him to suffer…" Damon confessed defeatedly.
'You're a fool Damon. Your head was so far up Elena's ass, so consumed with her and your toxic relationship you couldn't see the truth."
"And what is that, dear brother?" He jeered, hating the look of pity and sadness in Stefan's eyes.
"That I am where I want to be. That I love Rebekah and she loves me. And the Mikaelsons aren't the enemies or keeping me or Bonnie hostage. Bonnie married Klaus, that should tell you something. Neither one of us need rescuing, we never have."
He walked up to him, as close as he could get without getting burned by the magically enhanced chains. He took his face into his hands, touched his forehead with his, signed heavily, "I'm sorry about Elena," he whispered.
Then he kissed Damon's forehead and moved away. "Goodbye Damon...I love you, brother," he said with tears in his eyes, now turning to walk up the stairs out of the basement.
Damon nodded, watching Stefan leaving, but he said nothing, his throat too thick with tears.
Klaus gave Stefan his last moments with his brother, knowing that it was difficult for him, but they would be there for Stefan during this time, he was like a brother and son to them all.
The hybrid walked down the stairs, surprisingly, with a heavy heart, to end the days of torture and to put an end to Damon Salvatore.
"My wife gifted you to me and I have had my fun, but the time has come to end this Greek tragedy. For your betrayal, I thought to keep you locked in this basement for the next hundred years just torturing and humiliating you. Kol was excited about it, but unlike you, I put my selfish feelings aside and thought of others."
Klaus was standing in front of him looking ever like the king of everything, making Damon sick and strangely full of regrets.
"I couldn't put Stefan through that, him knowing you would be down here being tortured in this basement. How could he live with that and remain happy with Rebekah? The best punishment for you is to know that you killed your precious Elena. Your actions caused her end...and by Bonnie's hands no less. I bet that has to sting," Klaus gloated.
"At least I had the pleasure of knowing that for a few short hours the world was rid of you. You got Bonnie and Stefan fooled, thinking you are some new and improved Klaus, but you are still the same evil prick you've always been," Damon hissed, feeling the pain of his words and the guilt of knowing the truth of them.
Klaus chuckled, "Damon, Damon, Damon," he tsked, shaking his head, "Here's the thing, I am what I am and they still love me. I am an evil selfish bastard. I don't hide it, I don't cover it up and I don't make bloody excuses for it. But, for Bonnie and my family, including Stefan, I am trying to be better."
"You will never get it, because you live in the past, trying to relive it through Elena. That's not love, it's pathetic. Two hundreds and you never learned," Klaus shrugged, then smiled, "At least I will rid you of your meaningless existence and have the pleasure of knowing that I will be rid of you permanently. Just in case you missed it, because of the spell Bonnie cast, once I put you down, there is no coming back for you. No hell, certainly no heaven, no nothing and in time the memory of you and your worthless life will vanish like a horrible nightmare at the break of day."
Defeated, Damon had no witty reply so he said the only real thing he could, "Take care of him."
Klaus grabbed his neck, kissed his forehead, whispered, "Goodbye Damon Salvatore," then he took his other hand and ripped out his heart. Once he did, Damon's body burst into flames, Klaus dropped his heart and it burned too.
Klaus walked into his bedroom after showering and changing into black jeans and black henley long sleeve t-shirt. Hair still wet, feet bare, he walked over to the chair next to the bed and sat down.
He leaned over to his sleeping love, after scooting the chair closer to the bed, taking her hand into his, he whispered, "It's done. I made it quick, I thought you would want that."
After he kissed her hand then caressed her face and smoothed her hair, he laid his head down,"Thank you my love for bringing me back, but I need you and miss you." He took his hand moving it down to softly rub her flat stomach. "We have an announcement to make to the family when you wake up so hurry back to me.
"I need you. I need my wife...my love...my mate. I am half a man without you, a lone wolf. Your family is waiting for you. I am waiting for you...for my son(I'm sure)...for my family. I will wait by your side….always….forever, my love."
The End
Standing behind a table waving a white flag...please don't be too upset with me but this is the end of this story. I left this open ended, it just felt right, but if there is a big response to this story and desire for a third part thenI will do it. I love Bonnie and Klaus and their love for each other. Bonnie has a dark side and will do whatever it takes to protect her family and get her revenge. In this story and universe they are very much suited for each other.
I do hope you like this story. Thank you
