Chapter Nine

Bonnie fell to her knees as the tears fell down her face. She couldn't believe what was in front of her! Her family was broken into two groups and unconscious. Her married family, and the rest who had become her family through all the torture they had suffered. Each had been tied to poles and had weapons pointed at them. All of her married family was threatened with stakes – she didn't have to ask, she just knew that they were made from white ash wood. The rest had what looked like battle axes aimed for their necks. All were joined together with ropes.

Just then, Damon shakily opened his eyes and saw his teary eyed wife. "Bonnie … get out of here! There's nothing you can do love!"

"Damon, I can't leave all of you here! I'm going to get all of you out this somehow." Bonnie choked out a sob. She didn't know how to do it, but she had to protect her love and her family.

~Dada … I missed you! I hungry dada. Momma scared dada … me too! Dada please!~ Stephanie cried out from within her mother.

That hurt both Damon and Bonnie … that their daughter was scared, and they couldn't do anything about it. ~Dada is going to find a way out of this sweetheart. You just try to stay calm for momma, okay. Right now you are the only one who can help her.~

~Okay. I love you dada.~

Bonnie could feel the tiny hateful brats that had turned her life into a living hell until her wedding night were nearby. With a blow from an unseen force, the entire family was wide-awake.

"Bonnie, get out of here!" Elena screamed.

Meredith struggled against her restraints, find out very quickly that the wrong move would activate her ax along with the others who were connected to her – Alaric, Matt, and Lydia. "Bonnie, one of us has to survive this!"

"Enough!" Bonnie struggled to her feet and roared in her frustration. "You little bitches get out here now! I know you're near! What the hell do you want?"

She suddenly screamed in fear as her legs were kicked out from under her, sending her backwards to ground – startling both mother and child, and sending Damon against his restraints without thinking of what could happen. Suddenly Anastasia appeared before him forcing his body to go limp.

"You don't want to kill yourself and the others yet. Then we won't have any fun at all."

"You little bitch! Leave my wife and daughter alone! Or you will pay worse than Katherine and Klaus put together!" Damon growled.

Lareyne walked over and slapped Bonnie across the face hard, making her cry out. "Threaten my sister again, and she gets worse next time. So who shall be the first to die, witch? Lover? In-laws? Friends you think are family? They all think that you are a freak! He only pitied you when he turned you. You are nothing more than a pet to him … a toy … a plaything. He doesn't love you."

"Shut up! Why would I believe you over my family? You're as sick and twisted as Katherine ever was!" That cost Bonnie a kick to her back – bring screams from the family as a whole.

Anastasia patted Bonnie on the head and brushed a few strains of hair from her face in a sweet gesture of kindness. "Sissy is telling you the truth. They all are scared of you, even Damon. You have Powers like us … you are like us. He only wants complete control of that Power … control over you. He doesn't even want the baby. He'll drain her the moment she's born. With us you'll be safe … you and your baby."

The pair began to cast their control over Bonnie's mind, bringing out her fears and memories of the cruelties she survived through, as they held back the other's voices and thoughts. Bonnie was on her own in this fight – a fight to see how far she trusted these people she called her family.

"They all left you alone. Even on your birthday." Anastasia kissed her cheek only to be shoved away.

Bonnie gasped as she struggled with the pain the kick broke into her body. "Damon wanted me to live. He made me feel special. He made sure I would have fun and be safe and get on with my life!"

~Momma, I's scared! Somethin happening. I'm getting pushed.~ Stephanie cried in fear.

Bonnie swallowed hard as tears forced their way into her eyes. ~Don't worry, baby girl. We'll get through all of this … somehow.~

As she tried to get up, Lareyne kicked her back onto her back – making the pain all the worse. Bonnie knew that she was going into labor – hours too early. "What about your so called friends? They left you all on your own!"

"Meredith and Alaric were on their honeymoon. Lydia and Matt were planning on visiting her dying aunt. Damon sent our adopted son to take care of me, and so Shawn and I could meet. That won't turn me against them, you little bitch!" Bonnie couldn't hide the pain tearing through her body as her daughter was slowly dropping into a birthing position.

~Momma … what's happening to us?~

"They were using you! They just wanted to get rid of our sister and our protector! You were a tool to them, and nothing else."

"I helped them. It was my idea to use my Powers to find Stefan, to find out what was attacking us, to talk to Elena when she was dead, to bring the ghosts to help. No one used me!" Bonnie screamed out as another contraction hit. She was saying it, but the vampires could feel that she was having a hard time believing it – only because of Lareyne and Anastasia.

"Yes they used you, Bonnie. And then they all left you alone. You were a straggler in their little group, someone who only joined in to be popular. That was the way it was even before our sister came to this town. She so pitied you, she was going to turn you and make you part of our family. But they made you think that Katherine was the bad one. It was the brothers. They drove her away after she had begun to turn them to our kind." Lareyne hissed as she turned towards Damon, Stefan, and Elena.

"No! We have always been friends! Stefan gave Mr. Tanner a taste of his own medicine when the old fart was embarrassing me on the first day of school! Elena and Meredith have always trusted and counted me as part of their trio since we were all in first grade! Damon didn't have to return when Klaus attacked us, but he did because I asked him to!" Bonnie glared hard at the elder of the two sisters.

~Momma, I don't like those girls. They talk mean about dada and our family. Please let's get dada and go home.~

~They are my family. They would never hurt me. They are my family. They would never hurt me.~ Bonnie panted out in her mind like a mantra.

It was getting harder to believe herself with every moment. Bonnie wasn't sure how long she would be able to hold control over her own mind! Visions of her past were being pulled forwards against her will. Things that were best left unsaid yet weren't, her mistakes against the others and how she felt like she didn't deserve her friends, taunts and teases that were pulled up out of context and made to sound worse than they really were. Maybe she was wrong.

All of the others saw that Bonnie was beginning to lose the battle against the girls – it was only a matter of time. Damon groaned as his wife was forced to relive all of his flaunts and seductions towards Elena as if he had wanted the blonde over her. Seeing the tears flowing down her pale and pained face told him that she was beginning to give in, soon hate would grow in the red head's heart and then nothing would bring back their marriage – she would never trust him or Elena again.

Each of the others saw through Bonnie's eyes all that the girls were throwing at their friend. With their voices and thoughts held silent, none could help her in this battle. All Bonnie had to defend herself with was her faith and trust in all of them, though that was slowly ebbing away.

Not even Stephanie's soft words were having an effect on Bonnie now. The girls had been able to push the child's thoughts down deep enough to make them little more than whispered whimpers compared to their soothing words of comfort and seemed honesty. Bonnie slowly began to forget about the baby that was in her womb, even despite the contractions that were slowly growing closer and closer together.

~Momma? Momma? Where are you momma?~

Anastasia softly rubbed Bonnie's back as another contraction hit, ripping a gasp from her throat. "We need someone to take care of us, Bonnie. Please don't be mad at sissy. She's just worried about what is going to happen to her and me if they get loose. They want to kill us, just like they did Katherine. Please don't let us die. They don't want us to live because they still hate sissy. We need a mother."

~No, you're my momma! They can't have you! Leave my momma alone, brat!~

At first, it seemed to make sense – given all that Katherine had put them through. Bonnie started to believe the little girl. "They won't kill you two. You just have to stop hurt us."

~Momma, they not nice. Please momma! I love you momma! Dada, I's need help! Why won't you answer me momma?~

Lareyne sat next to Bonnie and cuddled close, much like a child looking for forgiveness from a parent. "I'm sorry, but they scare us. We hate how they are using you, mother. Please be our mother."

~No! I her baby! Not you two! Momma!~

The dead look in Bonnie's glazed over eyes showed that they were near to having a complete hold over her. She was so close to that edge. "It is my fault you have no one to guard you now. I summoned the force that took Klaus away. And every little girl needs her mother."

~I need my momma. Momma no loves me any more! Wished I was dead. Momma and dada be happy again if I was.~

"We'd never hurt you if you were. We'd be better than that brat in you now. She doesn't care about you like we do. She'll keep hurting you until she's out of you. We can stop the pain she's causing. We can take good care of her because she hurt you mother dearest." Anastasia kissed Bonnie's forehead. Only then did she see what the girls were up to. They wanted to destroy them all – including Stephanie! Then she heard her baby girl, only faintly.

~Wished I was dead. Then momma be happy.~

~Stephanie? Baby girl? Goddess … no! Please don't take my little girl away!~ Bonnie roared in hate as she threw both girls into a nearby tree with all the energy she could muster. "No! You are the ones trying to use me! This is my family, this is mine and Damon's daughter, and the two of you are the little bitches trying to get rid of us!"

~Momma?~ It was weak, and full of forlorn hope – but it was definitely the baby Bonnie felt being pushed out of her body.

~Momma's here baby. Please don't go away. It would break dada and momma's hearts. We love you so very much. They were trying to keep your thoughts from me, but it didn't work. I love you so much my precious little darling girl!~

"Fine! First we'll take you out, and then we'll drag it out for the rest of them!" Lareyne yelled, producing a doll and long needle from behind her back. Slowly she shoved the needle through the back of the doll as she twisted it. Her face went pale when she saw that nothing happened.

It took Bonnie a beat before she broke down into tears of laughter. "You maybe almost nine centuries old, but you still have brains of children! Your spell over me lost it's effect my wedding night! I gave myself completely to Damon, just as he did to me. That means you two do not have any hold over me!"

"We don't have the brains of kids! We've lived longer than you, bitch! We know more than you!" Anastasia screeched.

Bonnie smiled as she wiped the tears her chuckles had made. "Your minds were not finished growing when she turned you. Obviously, they haven't grown since then."

"We can't hurt you like we did before, but you gave us a different way to hurt you worse than before." With that the murderous girl roughly shoved the needle through the back and out the stomach of the doll's belly, sending Bonnie to her knees screaming.

~Momma! I hurt bad! Dada … HELP!~ Stephanie screamed out.

Then the others could see a string on the end of the needle. They could also see that the string was caught on something within the doll. It was caught on the baby. The two of them were literally trying to rip the child from Bonnie's belly, just as they had tried to do with their friend's heart.

Bonnie panted as she fought to keep her baby in her womb. Suddenly she heard Nana's voice in her mind. ~Remember what I told you about sister Luna.~

Suddenly, the words made perfect sense! Looking up, Bonnie saw the full moon shinning down on them all. Taking a breath, Bonnie then screamed out in her agony, "sister moon … the sovereign of night, Protect my family and I until dawn's first light!"

That did it! Both evil girls rushed into the shadows as they found the moonlight began burning their skins like sunlight without their rings. "We'll get you yet, bitch! You and all of yours will face our wraths for killing our sister and master!"

The light burned away the ropes that would have spring the death traps. All three vampires ripped their bindings as if the ropes were made of paper – the tiny terrors hadn't made sure that the group would be unable to escape well enough. Damon rushed to his weeping wife, while Elena and Stefan hurriedly freed the rest.

"Damon, it hurts so bad! I can't go into labor now, Stephanie still has hours before she's due!" Bonnie panted before crying out in pain once again.

For the first time they could remember, the rest of the family saw Damon's mask of indifference fall. He was worried for his wife and child. "Breath Bonnie. We'll get you back to the cabin, and it will be fine. You just have to calm down."

At that moment, a gush of water exploded out from Bonnie's womb – there was no possible way to calm her after that. She was going to deliver her daughter right there in the middle of the woods.

I am evil with all these cliffhangers! But it brings you all back for more.
