Okay so I didn't include any Bamon sexy time, because I didn't want this to be mature, but if you guys want it I'll do it. There's a little Defan moment and a lot of Abby. I hope you guys like it and are ready for the next few chapters. Thanks for reading.
Abby was like a summers breeze-warm, gentle, and unpredictable. She spent months traveling the world trying to find what she was missing. When she first left Mystic Falls it was to protect Elena and Bonnie from the originals, but that wasn't the whole truth. Apart of her had always long for something more, when faced with the opportunity to go and never look back, she took it. In that time she realized she had everything she could ever hope for. A loving mother, a beautiful daughter, and a strong man by her side. She tried time and time again to go back, and beg their forgiveness. Now, there was no way to do that, they were all dead. Everyone that ever meant something to her were gone.
She lost her mother, husband, and daughter. She compelled Jamie out of her life and now she was truly alone. The months following Bonnie's first death had been unbearable. Of course they weren't close and Bonnie always kept her guard up, but they connected. Bonnie was just like her when she was young. Her daughter was so head strong, but she led with her heart, she was the peace keeper and set order with her friends. Bonnie was wise beyond her years and so kind.
Abby only wanted to protect her daughter from the dangers of the supernatural world. She thought staying away and letting Bonnie live in a world without magic would keep her safe. She and Rudy agreed that Bonnie would never know about her powers, and she was naïve to believe Shelia Bennett would let her only granddaughter's magic go to waste. O' the parallels of being a Bennett. Endless power, and a need to save the world with it. That was why her daughter lost her life. The balance of the worlds were always more important than the needs of the self.
Abby entered the acute care unit her childhood friend was in. Liz was the only other who knew where Abby went. She often shared stories about Bonnie when she wrote. Abby never told Bonnie, but she wasn't truly gone for long. She often corresponded with Miranda Gilbert as well as Rudy and Liz. They all reassured her Bonnie was happy and given the best.
"Look what the cat dragged in," Liz greeted once Abby entered the room.
"Frizzy Izzy," Abby laugh.
"That's better than Flabby Abby," Liz said and the pair smiled at each other before embracing.
"It's nice to see you again Mrs. Wilson," Elena said.
"You to Elena," Abby smiled.
"Could you give us a minute, maybe pick up my lunch?" Sheriff Forbes asked.
"Sure," Elena said and went on her way.
The pair waited for Elena to get out of ear shot. "I didn't think I could hold on much longer," Liz confessed.
Abby grabbed her friend's hand. "I'm so sorry that this happened to you Liz. I'm going to make sure we get to be with our babies again," she smiled.
"She missed Bonnie so much and she wanted to bring her back. I should have told her I was sick sooner. I should have noticed something, done something more for Bonnie. I'm sorry Abbs," Liz said as tears fell from her eyes.
"Izzy, Bonnie would do anything for the people she loves. And I'm proud of her, to have the courage to do what she did to save her friends. And this isn't the end," she said with tears in her eyes. She gave Liz a vial. "I promise."
"Thank you for not trying to talk me out of this."
"I know how you feel. And if I'm right, Caroline can't comeback from where they are," she confessed.
"Because vampires aren't natural beings and can't reenter the world," she laughed. "Sometimes I think about what Miranda would say to me."
"She'd say that she loves you more than anything, and thank you for taking care of our babies by yourself."
"I missed you two so much," she smiled.
"We'll all be together soon," Abby said.
Elena cried uncontrollably in the lobby as Alaric held her and Jeremy paced. "I just walked out for a second and then she was gone," she cried.
"It's not your fault," Alaric said.
"It's always my fault. Caroline left her mother in my hands and I couldn't take care of her. She died all alone. I should have been there. All I had to do was be there," she said.
"Elena how were you to know she was just going to die?"
"Still."
Alaric wiped a tear from her cheek. "Caroline is going to be so grateful for all we've done."
"She gone," Elena cried and Alaric cradled her.
Caroline had gotten used to life in Mystic Falls. She was getting control over her cravings for blood, and with Lexi and Stefan helping her she was slowly starting to readjust to everyday life. That why today she was preparing for a swim at the watering hole. It had been a while since she'd been there and it would be like old times.
However everyone seemed to be too busy to answer their phones. If she got another's person's voicemail she was going to scream. "Hello you've reach Bonnie leave me a message." Caroline shock her phone and it was crushed.
"Wow someone needs a nap," Liz joked.
"Haha… Mom," Caroline turned around to see her mom looking straight at her. "Mom!" she screamed excitedly.
"Oh honey I missed you so much," Liz cried.
"Bonnie told me you were sick."
"You don't remember?"
"I just remember what happened here. I woke up without any memories of that life, but I'm still a vampire," she groaned.
"You loved being a vampire."
"I'm starting to, I guess."
Liz sighed. "We'll make it work. We always do."
"Elena," Matt said as he entered the boarding house kitchen.
"Caroline took a lot of things to the lake house, but she left this box in Stefan's room. It's her mom's funeral plans. She planned everything down to her mother's pantyhose," she said and they both laughed.
"That Caroline, she's thorough."
"That she is."
"I was thinking that we should do the funeral when you guys get back. I want Care to be able to say goodbye. She would loss her mind if she knew she didn't get to say goodbye."
"That's actually why I'm here we're doing the spell and I wanted to check on you before we left."
"Thanks I'm going to go with you. I still don't trust Liv," Elena snared as she said her name.
"You have nothing to worry about. Abby got a better spell and she contacted Lucy to help get us back. Everything is fine," Matt said trying to reassure her, but the look on Elena's face said his words were meaningless.
"Well let's go," Matt said.
The pair arrived at the meeting place. It was the point where Bonnie and Damon went missing during the collapse of the other side. Elena had only been back to the cemetery a handful of times. She had devoted all her time to helping out at the hospital and getting her mind off of anything that didn't involve getting her friends back.
"Elena what are you doing here?" Abby asked.
"I'm just here to make sure everything goes okay this time, and Liv doesn't blow you all up and skip town."
"You"-
"Elena everything is fine, Liv is fine," Tyler said.
"You only think so because you're sleeping with her," she said making the pair blush.
"Elena," Abby said as she walked to her. "Everything is going to be okay," she smiled and caressed her face. "Promise."
"Thanks," Elena smiled.
Abby only nodded and returned to the circle where Tyler and now Matt were standing. "We only have a few more minutes until the moon is aligned with the mark. You should start the incantation."
Elena knew what she was thinking was stupid. She shouldn't do this she couldn't do this. The air started to stir and leaves blew around. After a few more moment thunder sounded and a light beamed from the bottom of the circle they were standing in. Once it grew Elena ran towards it.
Bonnie tried to get out of Damon's tight embrace, but he refused to let her go. "Damon," Bonnie begged.
"More?" he asked as he pulled her into his hard-on.
"No I have to pee," she mumbled.
Damon kissed her neck. "Then more?"
"DAMON!" she yelled.
"Okay, okay," he said as he let her go.
Bonnie went to the bathroom and felt a sharp pain in her chest. She didn't know how to explain it, but she knew someone she loved was in trouble. Bonnie didn't know how, soon she was crippled over on the floor crying uncontrollably. "Bonnie look at me. Bonnie tell me what's wrong."
Bonnie couldn't say anything, she didn't know what to do. All she could do was clutch her chest and cry out. Damon held onto her and tried to sooth her. Soon her cries turned to quiet sobs and Damon carried her back to bed. "Thank you," Bonnie said when Damon handed her a cup of water.
Damon rubbed her leg. "You okay?" he asked.
"I'm fine. I just don't know what happened. I just felt this intense loss and I don't know who it came from. I'm going to call Caroline," Bonnie said reaching for her phone and seeing a missed call from Matt.
"I'm going to get Rah-Rah up and get started on breakfast," he said as he kissed her forehead.
Bonnie hide her phone screen and waited until she heard Damon taking Sarah down stairs to call Matt back. "Bonnie," Matt said. "Is that really you?"
"Matty it's me," she said and she could tell he was crying.
"Where are you? We came to bring you guys back," Matt confessed.
"We?" Bonnie asked.
"Yeah. Tyler, Abby, and at the last minute Elena grabbed onto Tyler. I don't know where any of them are," he said. "I don't even know where I am. I just woke up next to some girl…Jessica."
"Matt you're in Pittsburg, Tyler's in New York, and Elena is probably in Portland," Bonnie sighed.
"You don't sound happy," Matt noted.
"It's complicated. I'm going to book you guys flights to Mystic Falls," she promised.
"I missed you," he confessed.
"I missed you more Matty," she said feeling a tear fall from her eye. "See you soon."
"I can't wait," he said and ended the call.
Bonnie immediately called Tyler. She had been meaning to do so since she talked to Damon about it, and it slipped her mind. Like Matt it didn't take long for Tyler to pick up. "Bonnie where are you?" he asked sounding both fearful and relieved.
"I'm in Mystic Falls. Caroline, Damon, and Stefan are here too."
"That's good."
"Listen I talked to Matt and I've booked you guys flights here. Someone will meet you guys at the airport when you land," she informed him.
"And what about your mom and Elena?" Tyler asked.
"Elena is my next call and I don't know how to find Abby," Bonnie confessed.
"Elena should have been your first call she's your best friend."
"I know Tyler," was all Bonnie said.
"Is everything okay?"
"It's a long story that I don't want to retell. Just hurry to the airport," Bonnie said.
"Okay," was all Tyler said.
Bonnie let out a slow groan before she went downstairs. She watch Damon dance around in the kitchen while he made pancakes. She chuckled to herself at his terrible dance moves. Bonnie walked into the kitchen unnoticed and took a pancake from Damon's stack. And he awkwardly stopped dancing. "You're finally down," Damon said as he flipped his pancakes.
"Damon I need to tell you something."
"Bonnie I know you were under the influence last night, but I don't regret what we did," he said. "I only want you."
"Elena's here. She got Abby, Tyler, and Matt to come rescue us. The others are on their way. I left Elena for you. Everything is set for her flight to Mystic Falls. You just have to tell her to come," she confessed.
Damon looked down at the phone in her hand. Elena. His Elena was here. He looked up at Bonnie and wanted to say so many things but nothing would come out. "I-You sure you want me to call her?"
"Yes I have to find Abby and tell Caroline, Stefan, and Grams," Bonnie said giving him the phone. She turned to leave and he grabbed her.
"I want this with you. She can't change that."
"Wait until you see her," Bonnie smiled and walked away.
Bonnie went to her Grams and the door was wide open. She immediately ran inside and looked around. Everything seemed to be in order. The silver and valuables were in place. "Grams," Bonnie called.
"Bonnie."
She turned at the sound of her name. Green eyes. Deep green eyes greeted her. "Oh Bonnie," Abby cried as she wrapped her arms around her little girl. "I thought I lost you again. I couldn't bear it," she cried.
"Mom," Bonnie cried grabbing hold of Abby. "You're here."
"I'm sorry it took me so long."
Once the pair settled they asked the other the same question, "Have you seen Grams?"
-Shelia?"
"It's not like her to go missing," Bonnie reasoned. "I should call her."
Damon hung up the phone again once it started to ring. He needed to get Elena on that plane and he needed to do it fast. A part of him was terrified that he'd see her and how much she loves him and then what? He didn't know what that would do to him. The only thing he knew was that he loved Bonnie. He had never been surer of anything.
Damon made the call again. He got past the first ring. Now the second. "Damon? Oh god Damon I thought I'd never find you… Are you there? Damon?"
"It's me," he said with a smile.
"It's so good to hear your voice," she sighed. "I missed you like crazy. I couldn't believe you left me," she cried.
"Yeah I'm sorry about everything. Look Elena you're in Portland Bonnie booked you a flight."-
"Great I'm on my way," she said and hung up the phone.
"Shit," he mumbled to himself.
Stefan couldn't help but laugh at Damon as he drank another blood bag. "It's funny because this is the very thing you hoped for isn't it?" Stefan said. "Now you don't have to run away to Elena because she found you."
"What about you Saint Stefan. Do you think once those memories of your life here with Elena start flooding in you and Lexi will last?" he asked shutting Stefan up. "I'm sorry."
"No you're right this isn't funny. We need to figure out how to handle this. There are too many people entering here and if they don't leave there's only going to be more."
"We both know Elena Gilbert isn't leaving without one of us," he laughed. "I really thought for just a split second that maybe life could be easy-simple. That I could have it all, and enjoy every day."
"You can."
Damon smirked at his brother. He and Bonnie had the same sacrificial lamb expression when they were plotting their own demise. "Don't. This is my mess. I have to clean it."
"I can get Elena to leave, we just need a spell and someone to cast it."
"One she'd never forgive you, two… I need you here, I want you here," he smiled.
Stefan smiled up at his brother. "Brother," he said extending his arm.
"Brother," Damon said shaking his hand and embracing his brother.
"Child you know how long it's been since I've had a night out. Now you sitting in this house rushing me to get her for what?" Shelia said as she walked with Bonnie to the kitchen.
"Mother," Abby said as she stood. Shelia walked up to her daughter with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry," she started but Shelia hugged her.
"It's okay child," Shelia said.
"I missed you so much."
"I thought I was just a nagging control freak," she laughed.
"You were right. I was giving up a lot for a good reason, but not the right one."
"Come here," she said hugging her daughter again.
