I do not own Harry Potter or the Vampire Diaries
AN: I made this chapter 2 instead because it fits better that way. I'm just going to bring everyone in from s4 ep7, right after Stefan and Elena's break up so the first chapter is basically when Elena showed up in Damon's house after the pageant and Jeremy stabbing her and instead of them hooking up, that happened.
Bonnie groaned as she lifted herself up off the floor, what on earth had happened? A bright light had all of a sudden flashed before her eyes as she was lazing around her house with absolutely nothing to do and no one to talk to and the next thing she knows is that she's here. She looked around her and her confusion only increased when she realized she was in a cinema, before her eyes widened as she saw the unconscious forms of her friends and the Original siblings. What were they all doing here she thought before she ran over to Damon first and quickly shook him awake. No one really knew about her and Damon being friends, they knew how judgemental everyone was going to be and they would rather not be influenced by the words they were definitely going to spout so they kept it a secret.
It was actually rather fun to act annoyed with each other around the others, they both knew never to take each others' words to heart, and instead found enjoyment in their back-and-forth banter, which to others wound sound like they were moments away from going at each other's throats. Though, to be honest, that was actually true, no one annoyed her more than Damon, but then again, she felt as if no one actually cared for her more than he did anyway and she found that she rather liked that. He was a great friend despite what the others would say and she liked to believe he felt the same way about her otherwise why would he share with her something he hasn't even shared with his brother, about the fact that he has a daughter?
After a few light shoves from Bonnie, Damon opened his eyes and sat up looking at her confused as he said, "Bon Bon. Where are we?"
"It looks like a cinema Damon but other than that, I have no idea. The others are here as well by the way, even Klaus and his siblings. I don't know why." Bonnie said shrugging her shoulders.
"You should go to your friends before they wake up," Damon said after a moment, not wanting the others to see the side of him only two people have come to know, and that was his daughter and his best friend. Since Ric was dead, which was still a hard pill to swallow despite the fact that to others it looked like it no longer affected him, the only friend he had now was Bonnie.
"Right now, it feels like you're my only friend Damon," Bonnie said sadly, lately she's been feeling all kinds of shit. She felt like they only came to her when they needed her, otherwise, they could care less about her. Damon was the first one to talk to her just for the sake of talking to her instead of for some other reason like the others did, and it hurt more than anything. She knew all of them since they were in diapers and now she was only remembered when they felt like she could be of use to them.
"Same here Bon Bon. Wait till you meet my daughter, you two will get along like a house on fire," Damon said with a smile, he could just picture it.
"I honestly can't wait to meet her Damon. To finally have someone my age who could understand you know?" Bonnie said honestly.
"You'll love her. She's...she's just perfect." Damon said with the most loving smile on his face, no one but her and his daughter had ever witnessed, before it suddenly dropped and she could see the absolute worry shining in his eyes.
"I'm sure she'll be fine Damon. Considering everything you told me about her, she's strong, just like her father. She'll make it through and she'll be back with you in no time," Bonnie said laying an encouraging hand on his shoulder as he smiled at her grateful for her words. He squeezed her hand on his shoulder to show his thanks before he heard the others stirring and quickly kissed her forehead before walking away.
Bonnie smiled at his back before she moved towards her friends to wake them up, how did the guy she had so despised become one of the most important people in her life? Oh well, who cared? All that mattered was that she had someone that cared for her without any ulterior motive unlike everyone else, mainly Elena, who she's come to find out wasn't as innocent as she seemed. She's seen her throw herself at Damon so many times that it was just revolting. There were many times when she had gone to spend time with Damon in his house and Elena had come all of a sudden, literally walked into his room without even knocking. She had quickly hid beforehand when Damon told her someone was here not wanting to answer the questions, so because of that she heard everything that was happening from Damon's cupboard. Elena was being all flirty and just gross and she had never felt more disgusted because most of those times were when Elena was still with Stefan.
She had wanted to go tell Stefan but Damon had said no not wanting to hurt him or for him to think badly of him, like he was lying just so that Stefan could break up with Elena and she could be his. She didn't know why everyone thought Damon loved Elena, even she had at some point, but now after knowing him, she knew it was far from the truth and she felt sad that he would think his brother would pin the blame on him. Then she said that she would back him up but he said there was no point because Elena would wind up a whole story where she would come out the innocent girl and make it seem as if they were the ones in the wrong who were 'falsely' accusing her of being unfaithful. And then the drama would continue and neither of them wanted to be a part of it so she didn't directly tell Stefan but she did give a few subtle hints sometimes, and Damon catching on to what she was doing began to play along, more subtly on his part of course since Stefan would suspect him more than her. He didn't want his brother hurt and he knew that the longer this relationship lasted, the more it would hurt in the long run when Stefan realized who Elena really was so he helped as much as he could.
Bonnie knew that the break up had happened because of them, their influence on Stefan had been the reason his doubts started surfacing and the questions arose. Elena becoming a vampire had not helped her at all because all those parts of her had been heightened and were now more easily noticeable, especially for someone who's lived for more than a hundred years.
As she woke up Stefan, she felt sad seeing the frown on his face, even in sleep he couldn't find peace. Man Elena had really screwed him up, the brothers were honestly better off without her in her opinion, and maybe it wasn't only the brothers that could have done without Elena Gilbert in their lives before she shook her head at herself. Maybe she was being a little too harsh, they had had good moments with each other after all but how rare were they now? When was the last time they spent together as friends? It had literally been months, she and Elena used to be attached at the hip but now they barely saw each other with Elena being so completely obsessed with being the center of everyone's attention. It was why she couldn't handle not being the center of Damon's and she actually found amusement in the number of times her advances had been rebuffed by Damon's usual sarcastic tongue.
"Bonnie, what happened? Where are we?" Stefan asked as he got up off the floor and looked around in confusion. He had just been talking to Caroline where they figured out that Elena was sired to Damon when a sudden flash of light shone before his eyes and now he was here.
"In a cinema apparently. Just wake the others and we'll hopefully find a way to get out of here," Bonnie said moving towards Caroline and then Jeremy as she woke them up whilst Stefan woke up Elena, Matt and Tyler. At this point, the Originals were already up and disoriented like the others as they looked around in confusion.
"What the hell!" Rebekah shouted utterly shocked, the last thing she remembered was being daggered by her brother, yet again. (I don't know if she had woken up by s4ep7 after Klaus had daggered her in s4 ep4 so do tell me if I got this wrong.)
"Rebekah," Klaus said shocked to see her after what had happened, there was no way she was awake, no one knew the whereabouts of the coffins so how the hell could he see her and how the hell did he just feel the admittedly strong punch to the side of his face as she stood there fuming with tears in her eyes.
"I can't believe you!" Rebekah shouted angrily.
"Now Rebekah..." Klaus began but she cut him off.
"No! For once you're going to listen to me. I've done nothing but love you Nik and all I got in return was a literal dagger shoved in my heart. You know what, maybe I should just call you Klaus like the others because that's what the others call you and that's how you want me to see you as isn't it? Not my brother but as someone who is capable of doing anything to get what he wants, no matter who he hurts in the process. You treat me worse than you do those you see as beneath you so why should I see you as anything different? We may have grown up together but you are not the boy that used to make me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe, give me gifts just to see a smile on my face. I can't even recognise you anymore." Rebekah said angry tears in her eyes as he stood there motionless, the only sign you could see her words were affecting him was the stiffness of his frame and the miniscule movement of his throat.
"Ever since I woke up after you daggered me the first time, I've been so desperately searching for some part of you that truly cared for me but those moments only came when I did as you said or as part of your games because I've come to learn you don't do anything without a reason, even caring for someone is never without a motive for you. There is only your goal, your future with yourfake family, your obsession with being better than anyone else and your usual selfish ways. Did I emphasise on your enough for me to get my point across? It's always about you, none of these great plans for your future ever included me did they? Or Elijah or Kol or Finn. That's why you had us daggered in boxes isn't it? So you can enjoy your life without anyone telling you what to do, a life where you could rule, where there was no one stopping you from being the monster that you are." That word had her guilt rising as he flinched but she couldn't stop, she wouldn't.
All these years, all the built in resentment she's kept hidden was just pooling out. Yes she understood many things he did, she understood that her choices in love weren't the best and that she could be naive at times. But then she didn't need a brother who would ridicule and mock her, his anger at first she understood but later it became a source of entertainment for him. He thought it was a joke but it hurt, for once in her life she just wanted to live instead of surviving, she wanted to have a life instead of constantly wondering how humans with a span of 100 or so years lived more of a life than she did when she's lived ten times their lifespan.
And that was one thing amongst so many others but she always dealt with it because she loved him but she couldn't knowingly do that anymore when he could care less, when every time she forgave him for hurting her, he striked back where it hurt even harder than before. How many times could she forgive him before she gave up? No wonder Elijah left, no wonder Finn had chose death over this life, no wonder Kol couldn't breathe in a room with Klaus before they were at each other's necks because despite the small glimpses of humanity she knew was inside of him, the other parts of him were too potent, too strong and too obvious to ignore.
She remembered the moments they had as children then compared it to the times they had now, more tears than laughter, more resentment than happiness. He chose Caroline over her, he chose to leave her for a family that wasn't even real, then he used Stefan to get her to reveal information he needed because she knew of her soft spot for him. Every single person in his life were only pawns he could use to move across the chess game he's made of their lives, to get the goal he desires.
He chose himself and his future over her so many times so for once she would choose herself. She couldn't do this anymore, the cycle of misery had to stop and the dagger that he so mercilessly shoved through her heart was all she could take now. She was done. It may be an overreaction on her part, she may be taking things too far but what was the worst that could happen, he would just dagger her again.
That decision had tears leaking out her eyes as she said with a broken voice, "The moment we say no, you pulled out a dagger and kept us in boxes, like we're toys you can just use one minute, get bored the next and then leave on the shelf for whenever you feeling like using them again. I'm done Nik. I can't take anymore. You don't want me in your life as you've made clear so many times so let me go so I can learn to finally live a life that for once doesn't revolve around you. I'm tired of being second to your ego, I'm tired of trying to be there for you when it's clear you don't have an ounce of care for me, I'm tired of loving you with all that I am when all I got in return was a cold shoulder and your mockery about my admittedly miserable love life, I'm just tired of being your sister Nik."
Klaus stood there still as a statue as tears leaked out her eyes looking at him with all the world's love and all the world's rage, all mixed into one creating an emotion too powerful for words because how could you love someone so much you couldn't bare to live without them but hate them enough to want to?
Then he said, "Don't you remember your promise Rebekah?"
"Always and forever," Rebekah said her voice soft as she spoke a promise she could no longer hold on to.
"Did it really mean that little to you?" Klaus said and the actual tears glinting in his eyes had them all shocked, that her words had actually had an affect on him.
"It meant the world to me and It still would if the sentiment wasn't only one-sided. Elijah and I said that in promise to you as a family but you've never shown it meant anything to you. How can it be always and forever when you chose your army of hybrids over your family, how can it be always and forever when you'd rather have us daggered in a box out of your sight, how can it be always and forever when you don't give a damn about anything but yourself and your obsession with not being alone even when you've got your family standing right in front of you?" Rebekah snapped breathing heavily as she did so.
Before Klaus could do or say anything in response, a chilling laugh echoed around them and they all froze and looked around them warily. That was when Rebekah looked around and realized they had not been alone, she had seen Nik's face and had forgotten about everything assuming that they were in one of the rooms in his mansion but now she realized that they were in an unknown place with people she knew and a creepy voice talking to them.
"Now now don't stop on my account. This was just getting interesting." It said in a creepy voice.
"Who are you?" Damon asked looking up confused and wary as he subtly moved closer to Bonnie and Stefan just in case.
"I am who I am. I am who I was. I am who I always will be," It said in a cheery voice that was even more creepy than his normal one. (Don't you Merlin fans just love this line?)
"That's not an answer. Just tell us who you are and what we're doing here?" Jeremy asked, making sure to keep away from the others, the amount of vampires in the room were making him wary but funnily enough, he didn't feel any of the usual effects it had on him. Before it had felt like a voice was telling him to kill the vampire before him and his body and mind obeyed like a mindless drone but now he couldn't feel any of that, in fact he felt freer than he had in days.
"Jeremy," Elena said looking at him warily, was he normal now or not?
"It's ok Elena. I feel fine now. I'm sorry about what happened before, I..." Jeremy said before he was cut off by her hug.
"It's ok. You don't have to apologize. I'm just glad you're back," Elena said, happy that he was normal.
"How disgustingly sentimental," The voice sneered and Damon couldn't resist the slight smirk that made its way across his face at their similar thoughts and once again the voice laughed. "I see why My Mistress cares for you."
Everyone looked up in confusion at that, who the hell was he talking to?
"Now as you can see you have all been brought here in this, what do you humans call it, ah yes, a cinema, and as for why? Well, you shall see later, before that though, I must bring in a few more people. In the mean time, just introduce yourselves, well you all probably already know each other anyway so ta ta for now." The voice said before silence enveloped the room.
Rebekah looked at Klaus for a moment but he didn't even look at her so she shook her head and walked away from him towards Elijah who she had just noticed, completely missing the slight step Klaus took in her direction before shaking his head and thinking better of it. The words he wanted to say danced on his tongue before he willed them away, there was no point now anyway. He had driven the one person away who cared for him without any other means.
Elijah smiled at her sympathetically, having heard everything. Rebekah felt a tear fall out her eye as she wiped it away, he hadn't even said anything nor stopped her. Okay, she told herself, do not overthink this, he didn't care before, he wouldn't now. He had spent years without her anyway, she was just fooling herself into believing her absence would affect him in any way at all.
"Ok are we going to stand here and wait for the creepy voice thing to come back or are we actually going to do something to try and get out of here?" Caroline asked after a second of silence.
After a few minutes of exploring the entire place, they've come to find out that they were stuck with nowhere to go. Their vampire strength didn't help at all since the entire place was sealed so they were basically trapped.
"Great. Now what do we do?" Tyler asked in frustration.
"I have no idea," Matt said sitting down in one of the chairs, they were admittedly very comfy and the cinema itself looked great.
"Well we might as well make ourselves comfy since it seems like we're not getting out of here anytime soon," Kol said with a shrug of his shoulders as he lounged at the far end of the cinema.
The others shrugged in agreement before taking a seat themselves, there was nothing else they could do after all so they waited for that creepy voice to come back so they could at least get some answers.
Death, if you've not already guessed, had been busy gathering the rest of the people needed for the chaos he would be unleashing. Oh this is going to be fun he thought cackling evilly, well his mistress won't like it obviously but it was for her own good, more or less. She was so going to kill him so the fun part of being Death was that that wasn't possible. She needed to understand though that just because she was his favorite doesn't mean she was immune to the backlash of his need for causing chaos and this was one such way, so she had to deal with it. Ok he had to admit, it was mostly for the shits and giggles as humans say but it was also because of what had so recently happened to her. What she needed now was people who could understand and this was the only way she could heal from everything that happened to her, this time around she would let it all out instead of keeping her pain hidden and she would have true friends and family to be there for her. She would heal, slowly, but she would eventually.
The one part he was waiting for though was when his sister would finally kill off those pesky traitors who had dared harm his Mistress, they were so going to pay. He grinned a rather sadistic grin as he thought of the many creative ways to make them suffer, it was going to be so much fun. Now if only his sister would stop being stubborn and finally kill them off. Now that he thought about that though, he knew it wasn't going to happen anytime soon, she loved to torment him after all.
