Chapter 5 : The Truth is...
Enzo woke up infront of Damon's apartment door weak. His vision was blurry and his head was pounding. He called out for Damon who opened the door frantically Enzo collapsed on the floor inside, Damon helped him up on the chair "What the hell happened to you?"
Enzo shook his head and rubbed his temples "I..I..I have no idea...there was a blonde..then I got here"
"You said you were going to Cornwall to look for Bonnie...what did you find?"
"Cornwall? I don't remember..are we in Cornwall right now?" Enzo said looking around the room. Damon looked at him puzzled, he was clearly not in his right head. Damon decided to call Alaric and Emma to help him figure out what happened to Enzo. When the pair arrived Emma checked and questioned Enzo. He was struggling to remember.
"Told you this would dangerous. He's been clearly drugged" Emma said.
"Drugged? I feel fine" Enzo yelled looking between the three people standing over him. Damon exhaled.
"Look Damon maybe Bonnie doesn't want to be found..maybe she'll contact you when she's ready...maybe you should leave this alone" Alaric said. Damon frowned "Nope this is ridiculous I'm renting a car and I'm going to Cornwall. Like Enzo said guys like that usually pick secluded places. I will look for Bonnie myself"
After their conversation on the boat, things were a bit awkward Klaus spoke less and Bonnie was worried about what was on his mind. Tonight Bonnie decided to make dinner they sat next to each other but Klaus barely ate any of his chicken penne.
"I'm not a completely bad cook" Bonnie joked trying to break the tension. He smiled "It's delicious. Thank you"
Bonnie placed her fork down and folded her arms "Okay what's wrong? I wish you would talk to me. What's going on that's so bad? Talk to me"
Klaus sighed "I'm trying...I know I can trust you..I just don't know how you would react...I don't want you to runaway or hate me"
Bonnie held his hand "I promise I won't just tell me what's going on"
Klaus got up while Bonnie followed him puzzled, he opened a wall and walked into a room. Bonnie was confused but followed him down a stairway, she looked around and was surrounded in a little room filled with guns, other weapons and liquids in tiny cylinders on the wall "Uh...are these collectibles?" Bonnie asked nervously.
"No" Klaus said dryly pacing back and forth.
"Okay then what am I looking at? Were you in the military or something?"
Klaus was recruited into the organisation when he was 14. He was mentally and physically trained to assassinate the guys the cops couldn't stop : the sex traffickers, drug traffickers, terrorist, extremists groups and dictators. This lifestyle consumed Klaus for a long time he was secretly suffering from PSTD, nightmares and mental breakdowns after missions. He was finally pushed off the edge when he watched his partner got blown to pieces in Poland. This broken Klaus so left and decided to start over, he was haunted by what happened every night for a year.
Bonnie stared at him her heart was racing, he stepped close to her and she stepped back as she tried to process everything.
"I wanted to be honest with you ..please don't scared of me I would never hurt you" He said cupping Bonnie's face in his hand. Bonnie's lips were shivering she didn't know what to think.
"Damon has been looking for you. He sent this private investigator here. I took care of it, don't worry"
Bonnie moved his hands off her "What the fuck? Did you kill him?"
"Of course not" Klaus frowned.
"I need fresh air my head is spinning" Bonnie said walking upstairs, back into the kitchen and out back. Klaus followed her and apologised continuously, she paced back and forth "I'm fine, I think. What if Damon finds me?"
"I won't let him near you, we'll be fine" Klaus said wrapping his arms around her.
The next morning the atmosphere was eerily quiet, Bonnie swallowed the lump in her throat and tiptoed downstairs into the kitchen. Camille was sitting at the counter sipping coffee and eating toast while scrolling through her phone.
"Oh heyyy sleepy head" Camille said smiling widely. Bonnie smiled looking around "Where is Klaus?"
"He's in the city for a meeting"
Bonnie nodded and sat next to her "You're one of them too huh?"
Camille sipped her coffee "One of what?"
"Cut the act! Klaus told me what he did before the company"
Camille exhaled "I'm glad he finally did"
Bonnie got up and made herself a cup of coffee, she leaned back against the counter and stared at Camille in silence.
"So how did you get in? Are there alot women?"
Camille chuckled "Tons of us. Most of us has a similar story to yours...violent men,orphans, runaways"
"That is kinda profiling but how do they find you?" Bonnie raised her eyebrows. Camille laughed "I can't tell you that, pretty face"
Bonnie pressed her lips.
"You know Klaus doesn't really like guns but it was necessary to have. He was more of a combat and knives kind of guy. He also like to build things, he could make and disarm bombs. He was one of the best maybe a bit sadistic" Camille said doing the dishes. Bonnie smiled slightly.
"This doesn't seem to bother you" Camille turned around folding her arms.
"Maybe I'm so use to violence around me, I'm not even surprise I end up here"
Camille nodded "I'm going hunting, you wanna come? Plus it's a nice nature walk"
Bonnie agreed and went upstairs to get freshen up. An hour later Camille and Bonnie were walking through a forested area holding their guns, Bonnie complained about it being heavy and if they were lost.
Camille found the spot and it wasn't what Bonnie expected, she was standing on a bare ground with a circular target infront of her.
"Okay this is not hunting" Bonnie said raising her eyebrows. Camille smiled "I know this where I come to practice and when I'm feeling angry or stressed"
"You just want me to learn to use a gun"
"I know you got all this built up pain. Look guys like Damon they are so violent they don't have no self control. What if he tries to kill you next time? You should be able to defend yourself"
Camille throw the duffle bag on the ground and open it "Medium size ones first, this is a silencer to make things quietly messy and bullets I'll show you how to put them in within seconds"
Bonnie placed the bag on her shoulder down "This one is heavy.. what is it?"
"That's a rifle for distances" Camille said loading one of the guns from the bag.
"Have you killed people with this one specifically?" Bonnie asked as Camille hand her the gun.
"165 people" She said smiling. Bonnie eyes widen, Camille stood behind her and left her hand with the gun "You want to have the right posture, the gun must be in line with the shoulder otherwise you'll have a really bad sore or a fucked up arm. Relax. Point directly at the target, you might miss on your first try but the goal is to hit the target whether it's on the arm or leg or side..gives you enough time to finish the job or maybe send a message"
Bonnie nodded.
"Gently squeeze the trigger" Camille said. Bonnie did it and gasped.
Camille ran to the target "Not bad, that could be his arm"
The girls returned a few hours later to the beach house giggling with Iced teas in their hands, Klaus was standing in the kitchen confused "Bonnie you're alright! Where did you go?"
"Relax, I didn't runaway. I hung out with Camille and I learned to use a gun"
Klaus eyes widen he glanced at Camille.
"I'm fine Klaus we had fun, I'll go take a shower and a nap. Thanks Camille" Bonnie smiled leaving the two tensed spies.
"She doesn't need to use a gun. You're always reckless" Klaus snapped.
"And you're treating her like a victim ..stop coddling her..there is more to her than you think" Camille said.
Klaus rolled his eyes.
"Stop worrying, I gotta go and pick up my dress for the wedding" Camille said gently punching his shoulder.
Damon had convinced Elena that they were going to Cornwall for the beaches and site seeing. Elena thought it was shady but went along with it. She noticed Damon's uneasy disposition which he kept dismissing.
It was a Summer wedding in the late afternoon, the area faced a breathtaking sunset and at the end of each seated aisle were white lilies and lavender. Spread down the aisle was white and lavender leaves. Bonnie sat beside Klaus in a lavender off the shoulder dress, she stared at Rebekah in a stunning laced white dress and Marcel standing infront of her. His eyes never left her. Bonnie smiled slightly she longed for that love. Klaus glanced at Bonnie.
At the after party everyone was dancing and eating. Bonnie sat on the bench away from the dance floor and she smiled. Klaus walked over with a small plate in his hand and sat next to her "Thought I'd come keep your company and share some cake" he said handing her a small fork.
"Are you alright love?" He asked. She nodded "I was supposed to get married in 2 months but its not worth it. The wedding was so good..Rebekah looks beautiful and Marcel is really funny"
Klaus ate a piece of cake "He's a good guy and you deserve the world too..I'm glad you aren't marrying someone who doesn't value you"
Bonnie smiled and took a bite .
Klaus and Bonnie giggled as they burst into the front door, the two were drenched from the sudden rain.
"Walking back here was a bad but fun idea" Bonnie laughed running her fingers through her wet curls. Klaus stepped closer to her, he gently glazed her cheek with the back of his fingers. She looked up at him, bit the bottom of her lip and smiled "I really had fun tonight"
"I'm glad" he said intertwining his fingers with hers. He cupped her face and pressed his lips on her softly and she kissed him back. He pulled away leaving her thirsty for more "I'm sorry...I shouldn't...I just really wanted to kiss you" he was flustered. Bonnie grabbed his back "No, it's okay Klaus I want you to...I want you " She said running her hand on his chest. He crashed his lips into hers.
The next morning Bonnie opened her eyes to the picture of Klaus and his sister when they were kids on his nightstand. She felt a hand massaging her tit and kissing her neck "Good morning, beautiful "
She smiled "Morning, you"
She pulled him on top of her and kissed him.
"What are we going today?" He asked.
"Stay in bed...with you inside me" she licked his lips.
Over the next two weeks Bonnie and Klaus grew fonder of each other: they went on nature walks, dancing at Klaus favourite place, the beach, in bed and on his boat. Klaus couldn't keep his hands off Bonnie. She was making dinner in her bra and undies while talking about her interior design ideas for her pastry shop, Klaus sneaked up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist and nibbling her neck. He squeezed her ass.
"Such a perv" Bonnie said poking him with her elbow and giggling.
After dinner Klaus suggested wine and a movie night in bed
"Um..okay but AN ACTUAL MOVIE NIGHT" Bonnie said pointing at him. Klaus chuckled and kissed her before leaving for the wine cellar.
A minute later Bonnie heard footsteps behind her, she was on Klaus bed in her bra, undies and a robe brushing her hair "You're back with the wine already.I want to talk to you about something..." Bonnie said.
"You're living the lavish life I see" he said. Bonnie turned around immediately and her happiness left her body now she was shaking in fear. She stood up immediately "D-D-Damon...what what are you doing here?" She muttered.
"I came a long way for you. You moved on fast" he said gritting his teeth. Bonnie began walking briskly to get away from him, Damon grabbed her by the hair forcibly back to his chest. Bonnie yelled.
"Come on! We are leaving " he said yanked her arm tightly walking her out of the room.
"Owww! You're hurting me" Bonnie voice broke.
"Shut the fuck up you slut. I've been to hell and back looking for your selfish ass. I have the car running I'm taking you back home so walk faster" he said pulling her. She screamed and he slapped her. He pushed her out of the door. He dragged her to where his car was parked behind a tree. Damon paused as he stared at his car: the windows were smashed, the lights were smashed and the tires was deflated.
"Great your fucking psycho boyfriend is around. Come on we might get a cab somewhere around here" He said dragging her away from the car. He walked quickly behind the trees to find the main road.
"You're going round in circle" Klaus stood infront of them from a distance with a silencer gun pointing at Damon. Damon stepped back with Bonnie firmly gripped in his hand. He laughed "and here's your psycho boyfriend. I will be cancelling my subscription from your booze after I expose you"
Klaus smirked "You're on my property trespassing I can make you disappear. It can be like you never existed; no biometrics, ID, passport and remove all your history in the firm"
"Shoot me then" Damon said pulling Bonnie infront of him. Klaus laughed "You're really pathetic. You think I would shoot Bonnie"
"If I can have her, no one can't. Take your best shot. You'll have to kill us both" Damon said squeezing her arm. Bonnie was shaking in fear staring at Klaus. Klaus didn't hesitate, he saw the opening and shot Damon above his ankle. Damon groaned as he let Bonnie out of his grip.
"GO BACK INSIDE, LOVE!" Klaus yelled. Damon was crying out in pain on the ground.
"You're not as smart as you think you are Damon! So what is it? Mummy issues? Mummy didn't love you enough so you take it out on women. Every bone in my body wants to kill you right now but I can't. So I'll give you the chance to leave my property and Bonnie alone" Klaus said standing over Damon.
"FUCKING PSYCHO!" Damon yelled as lunge on Klaus choking him on the ground and began punching him repeatedly. Klaus laughed and spit blood in his face, Damon kept punching him but Klaus showed no emotion he was busy fumbling for a knife attached to his body. Klaus stabbed Damon in his side and pushed him off, Damon fumbled trying to keep his feet sturdy on the ground "Why the fuck are you doing this for her? You don't know her. She killed her father" he said weakly. He chuckled "Makes sense a psycho slut like her attracted to you"
Klaus got up slowly, he fitted his broken nose back into place and putting his head back to stop the nose bleed. Damon looked at him in disgust.
"I've been doing this since I was 14, I knew when Camille told me she didn't find anything much on Bonnie something was off. I did my own research. Her father was drunk and he molested her, she stabbed him 78 times and she spent some time in a mental facility. Then she met you and you took advantage of her"
Damon stared at him. Both men suddenly heard a woman whistling, Camille was walking towards them with Elena tightly gripped in her hand with a silencer gun to her head "Look who I brought, she wanted to see Damon's true nature" Camille said with a wide smile. Elena was panicking in fear.
"DAMON WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" Elena yelled.
"Your hunk over there only came to London to look for Bonnie. She ran away from him, you see Hunky likes the hit women. I dare him to hit me" Camille said pointing the gun to Damon.
"Stop this! Leave her out of this" Damon yelled.
"Is this true?" Elena said on the verge of tears.
"EVERYONE STOP THIS NOW!" Bonnie said holding the gun Klaus dropped. They looked at her.
"This is between Damon and I, I don't need anyone fighting for me. Leave us!" Bonnie said. Klaus looked at her "Bonnie..."
"I mean it..I don't want anyone else hurt " she said. Camille rolled her eyes and pouted she wanted to kill someone, she escorted Elena back into the beach house. Klaus followed her.
Bonnie stared blankly "I could shoot you right now and it would satisfy me but Klaus fucked you up already. You're pale and look like shit right now"
Damon laughed weakly "So James Bond made you bold now. You can't live without me"
"I have to..I don't want to be with you ever, leave here and never come back or I'll kill you" Bonnie said with the gun shaking in her hand.
"You're not going to use that, babe. Come on..this isn't you..I can change I'll go to therapy...we'll go to therapy. He clearly got inside your head" Damon said limping slowly towards her. Bonnie shot the grass and he jumped back "Get the fuck away from me, I mean it. I don't need you coming around Klaus and I..and our baby" she said. Damon looked at her emotionless "Baby?"
"I'm pregnant I haven't told Klaus yet and you're ruining my life. I'm not coming back to you Damon, you need help and I can't help you "
Damon laughed "You sneaky bitch, you saw his money and his fancy shit and you purposely got pregnant didn't you? This is your plan?"
Bonnie shot his other foot and yelled out and he fell to the ground "I'm done talking"
Bonnie went back into the beach house, Elena and Camille was sitting at the table while Klaus was putting ice on his face.
"I called our doctor to come pick the trash up and fix him. We'll get him back to New York and he won't bother you again" Klaus said looking at Bonnie.
"Are you sure we can't kill him? Bonnie or Elena can... I think it could be fun" Camille said. Both women looked at her, she shrugged.
" What are you people? What's going to happen to me?" Elena asked looking at Camille spinning the gun on the table.
"Just good citizens of England. We'll get you back to New York by yourself away from Damon. He won't change. He's a bad guy and you both deserve better" Camille said. Elena apologised to Bonnie.
Three days later Damon woke up confused and frantic in his bed in New York. He had no idea how he got back or how long he had been out. He ran to the bathroom to check himself, he left his shirt up and the stab wound that Klaus gave him didn't exist "How the fuck did he do that? Am I crazy?" He muttered to himself. He checked his foot for bullet wounds and they didn't exist "What the fuck..."
He rushed back into the room and noticed a yellow envelope by his bed side. He ripped it open and it was a restraining order against him from Bonnie. He punched the wall.
When Klaus took Bonnie on a picnic in the city she finally told him she was pregnant and he was excited. He came back to his London apartment and introduced her to his nosey neighbour. Things were perfect.
(September)
Bonnie was unboxing baking pans, sheets, cupcake holders and ingredients in her pastry shop she was getting ready for the grand opening. She looked up when she heard the door bell rang when someone came through "Heeeey!" Bonnie said smiling at the blonde who was looking around.
"Love the pastel colours. The horny housewives are going to love this place" Camille said leaning over the counter with a paper.
Bonnie glanced at it "Job application? You wanna work here? Why? Is Klaus that annoying of a boss?"
Camille giggled "That entire family is annoying. I hate New York. Besides I prefer to work for you. I think there is more than meets the eye when it comes to you"
"What are you talking about ?" Bonnie asked removing the boxes off the counter.
"You wanted him to kill Damon didn't you? I have been watching you for awhile" Camille smirked. Bonnie stared at her and fold her arms
"I knew Damon was looking for me"
The night Bonnie went to Rebekah's party she came back early, she didn't see Klaus where she left so she decided to look around. She heard voices coming from inside the wall so she carefully followed it until she was able to access the door in the wall. She stood at the top of stairs as she listened to Enzo and Klaus conversation before Enzo was knocked out. She also got a glimpse of the room filled with guns and weapons. She ran out of the house and to Sybil's house, she asked for Cynthia's number and began to questioning her over the phone about Klaus. Cynthia was hesitant to tell the truth about Klaus to Bonnie. But Bonnie pleaded until Cynthia told her about Klaus being an assassin. After the phone call Bonnie begged Sybil for a favour and not to tell Klaus anything. Bonnie used Sybil's phone sent Damon a message anonymously she pleaded for him to come and get her.
"You're a sick fuck like Klaus"Camille laughed. Bonnie rolled her eyes.
"He wasn't going to kill him..maybe torture him. You changed your plan quickly" Camille smiled.
Bonnie sighed "Having Damon killed wasn't worth it. I had to face him myself and get the closure. Are you going to tell Klaus I knew about him before he told me?"
"Nope ! I think it's nice that someone might be smarter than him. Where is he anyway?"
"Therapy with Cynthia..Guess he's finally ready to talk about his partner's death. I do need help around...I guess you're my first employee"
Camille smile widely and began helping Bonnie unpack. It was the beginning of a friendship and partnership.
