"Are you that pathetic that you'd die of a natural death. Like a silly human?" An annoyed voice said above her. It was then she realized she was no longer falling though, only fifty-four percent sure that she wasn't dead. Her eyes open. A stuttered gasp escape from her lips.
"K-Katherine!?" The vampire, whom was currently holding her in arms, rolled her eyes.
"Trying to off yourself before the fun begins, Bennett? Did my fangs scare you that bad?"
She holds a look of confusion, then her eyes narrow, pushing out of Katherine's grasp. "I didn't jump." She eyes the cliff she'd previously been lost in thought on.
"I know. You stupidly fell. Same difference." She crosses her arms. "The towns goody two shoes would've been dead, had I not caught you."
Her head whips to her. "Were you following me?"
"Course I was." She began slowly circling her. The height difference and predatory gaze in her dark eyes was less than comforting. "You're the Salvatore's supposed secret weapon. Though I have to say." She stops in front of her. "Not impressed."
"I don't know what kind of game you're playing with Stefan and Damon," Bonnie says lowly, staring the doppelgänger head on. "But you need to leave me and my friends out of it. Especially Elena."
A smirk appears on her stony face. "Bolder without the presence of Stefan the savior?"
"I don't need Stefan to take you down."
Katherine's eyes flash, slamming Bonnie against a nearby rocky wall. "You don't remember our dance from last time, cupcake?" Her fangs ejected. "Want me to remind you?" She husks, black veins sprouting beneath her blood eyes.
Bonnie's heart began pounding furiously against her ribcage while she was trying her damnedest to give the woman an aneurysm spell that she's perfected at this point, but like last time nothing was working. Still, she held her head high in pride.
"I know you're scared, Bonnie." She says her name mockingly.
Suddenly a ringing came from Katherine's pocket, making her huff in irritation. She held Bonnie tightly with one hand on her throat and the other fishing the vibrating device from the back of her leather pants. She whips the phone to her ear, eying the witch in front of her. "What! You were supposed to take care of that. Do I need to remind you of what will happen if I don't get what I want? Good. Make it happen." She abruptly ends the call, flashing Bonnie a fake smile releasing her throat, though surprisingly gentler than last time.
The witch coughs, rubbing her neck, warily watching the vampire who was watching her.
"Well this was fun." She steps back, returning her attention back to her phone. "But I have other matters to attend to." She saunters away like she didn't just have her pressed harshly into rock, cutting off her air supply. The thought triggering Bonnie to shout after her.
"Why!?"
Katherine spins around with a curious brow lift. "Why...?"
"When I fell...why did you save me? Why not let me die?"
The vampire shrugs with a smirk. "Stefan and Damon have lost some of their appeal over the last century. You make things more interesting." With that she speeds away, disappearing from the witch's view. She doesn't know what to make of that statement or of anything that just happened. Her eyes trail back up to the spot from where she fell. Sighing, she takes her phone out, texting Caroline. She needs a ride.
