The following morning, after her meeting with Jonas and Luka, Bonnie went to the Salvatore boarding house, she had sent an SOS message to everyone, especially Stefan and Elena, who should have been arriving back home today, as she walked in she was glad to see everyone there, Damon and Alaric were at the side, in a hushed conversation, Jeremy was smiling at her, as she looked at him, he started to blush, Caroline was in an armchair, looking at her phone, thankfully Stefan and Elena had come back in time. As they noticed her Damon was quick to turn, "Hey Witchey, what was so urgent"
Steeling her nerves, and seeing that everyone was looking at her, she began, "So, I actually met a couple of warlocks, they both know about the sun and the moon curse, the ritual, and about Hadrian" With this, everyone was staring at her, she continued "they said they may know a way to kill Hadrian, and in doing so, if we time it right, we may be able to kill Klaus" everyone was smiling at her, all but two, Elena and Caroline. Elena was shaking her head, all she could think of was the deal she made, what if he found out, he would kill them all, Caroline was thinking the same thing, but she was also thinking about Hadrian, they had become closer as the days went by.
Stefan was the first to respond, "How", he looked at Bonnie with such a serious face, that it was almost comical.
"They said that if we had a place where enough witches were killed, I could channel that power, if there were enough witches, then it should be possible", as she said this she nodded, just to reemphasize the point. With this statement even Damon was smiling, before Jeremy walked forward, and looked down on her with soft, caring eyes "How do we know we can trust them".
She could'nt help but smile up at him, it was nice for someone to be protective of her, "Because, their daughter has become addicted to dark magic, and is being controled by them, he wants them dead just as much as we do, maybe more so" This led the rest of them to break out in smiles, this stopped when Elena walked into the center of the room, she stood and looked at them, "No", just this statement stopped everyone, before anyone could say anything she continued "Does no one else remember what happened the last time we met Hadrian, stefan, you and Damon tried to fight im in thr grill, and he basically threw you around like a rag doll, Bonnie he stooped you by just touching you, and remember the Werewolves" as she spoke she got louder and louder, her breathing intensified "If you do this, he will not only kill you all, but everyone I love, No, I made a deal" Everyone was stood their in shock, they just looked at her, she knew she would die, and had accepted it, Stefan began to feel angry, his Girlfriend had resider herslef to her fate.
"Barbie, you seem strangely friendly with him, what do you think" As Damon said this, everyone shifted to look at Caroline, who was still sitting in the armchair, she took a deep breath, and exhaled loudly, "I have gotten to know him, and I can say this with confidence and certainty, if you try this, he will kill all of you", it was all Caroline would say.
Saying her peace, Elena swiftly left, with Stefan trailing after her, Alaric and Caroline soon left with them, Alaric to meet with Jenna and try to patch his crumbling relationship, Caroline to go and clear her head.
With just Bonnie, Damon, and Jeremy left, Damon quickly looked at Bonnie, "Witchey, what would you say if I knew a place where a few hundred witches were killed", Bonnie just looked at him, "Id say let's go"
...
Caroline had just started walking in the town center, when suddenly Hadrian was there, walking beside her, "Hey" Hadrian said as he smiled at her, she just smiled back, or more accurately tried to smile back, but what came out was more like a grimace, she couldn't forget about what bonnie had said. As Hadrian looked at her, he could see she wasn't her usual bubbly, chatterbox self, quickly stopping he looked around, and to his luck, there didn't seem to be many people around, he quickly took both her hand and looked at her 'I hope this cheers her up' he thought, "Hey, do you want to see something cool?", with a quirk of her eyebrow, Caroline said, "I could use a distraction today".
With an even bigger smile, Hadrian once more looked around, seeing that no one was looking at them, he told Caroline to close her eyes, and as she did, Hadrian, with a small twist, disappeared with Caroline.
After her feet hit solid ground, caroline wavered, before she could right herself, she felt a hand on her lower back, and a body pushed to her side, as she looked to her left, and saw how close Hadrian was, she let out a little blush, stepping back, she look at her surroundings, as she did, she Frozen, they were hundreds of feet in the air, as she looked around her other senses went to work, she could smell an abundance of exotic food, people were speaking in another language, it took her a few seconds to realize what they were speaking, French, they were speaking french. As she looked back to Hadrian, she saw where they stood, he had taken her to the top viewing place of the Eiffel Tower, she quickly looked back to Hadrian, who was leaning against the barrier, and with a sudden onslaught of speed, she rushed to Hadrian Hugging the life out of him, he simply chuckled as he hugged her back, as he held her he whispered in her ear "the other day, you said how much you had always wanted to visit France" It was such amazing moment for her, he had just decided to teleport her to France, just because she had looked down, as she raised her head to look at him, she decided to do something she had wanted to do for the last 3 weeks, she kissed him, and to her great enjoyment, he was kissing her back. When they had parted lips, and with a silly grin on their faces, "Would you like to go for dinner" Hadrian asked, all she could do was nod her head, and smile up at him.
...
As Hadrian and Caroline were spending an amazing evening in Paris, Bonnie, Jeremy, and Damon arrived at the old Witch house, just being here Bonnie could feel the power, the agony, and the spirits that resided here, as they walked through the front door, they were greeted to an old dilapidated and run-down house, deciding to go to the place Bonnie felt the power located, they began to walk through, as they did Damon suddenly froze in place, his upper half illuminated by the sun which was coming through one of the holes in the roof, He just looked at Bonnie "What are you doing witchy", Bonnie just looked confused, and shared an amused glance with Jeremy, "I'm not doing anything" as she said this Damon tried to move again, finding he couldn't, he looked back to them "Well I'm stuck", as he said this, he felt his face begin to heat up, that soon turned to intense burning, as he began to burn, he let out a pained grunt, which soon turned into a scream of agony, as his face blackened, he did manage to grunt out "Daylight ring", seeing his face begin to blister and blacken, Bonnie shut her eyes and began to channel her magic, in an attempt to stop what was happening, a few moments later, a blackened faced Damon was able to move, he quickly sped to the dark corner, his face quickly healing, "What the hell Witchy" He said with a strong glare, all Bonnie could do was shrug her shoulder "The witches must not like you being here"
Seeing as Damon didn't want to move, Bonnie and Jeremy began to walk to the basement, as they stood in the center, Bonnie could feel them, every spirit who was killed there, as she stood in the entrance, she closed her eyes and reached out, she channeled her magic out to them, with the intent to inform them of her plan, and the need to have the power to channel.
Almost instantly the house responded, Jeremy could hear it groaning, the pipes began to screech in protest, as he looked to Bonnie he could she was in a trance, he began to yell "BONNIE, WHAT'S HAPPENING", she just stood there, channeling her magic out and trying to convey her intent to them, "They're afraid, afraid that if we do this, and Fail, Hadrian will take revenge". As she said this Bonnie reinforced her desire and will, she would see this through, she had to protect Elena, suddenly it all stopped, and Bonnie fell to the ground, Jeremy ran to her, quickly propping her up against him, Screaming her name in fear, "Come on Bonnie, Look at me" he said whilst lightly slapping her cheek.
With a gasp, Bonnie opened her eyes, and with a shaky smile "It worked, I can channel it" she finished as blood began to run down her nose.
...
3 weeks had quickly gone by, and whilst Caroline and Hadrian has begun to become even closer than before, the others were planning on when to take on Hadrian, they had decided to wait until the night of the ritual, if Elena was to be sacrificed last, they could kill Hadrian just before she was sacrificed, once they did, Klaus should be vulnerable.
It was the night of the school dance, Stefana and Elena were going together, Bonnie had agreed to go with Jeremy, and Alaric had rangled Damon to act as a chaperone, as they all got to the dance, they came upon a sight they never expected, Caroline was there, in the middle of the dance, But it was who she was dancing with that shocked them, it was Hadrian. As they slow danced together and gazed into each other eyes, they didn't even seem to notice their arrival. While to most of them, the sight was startling, all except for Elena, whilst she didn't really understand, she was happy that Caroline looked so happy, she quickly grabbed Stefan's hand and led him to the dance floor with a smile on her face. As those two left, Damon looked to Bonnie, and nodded to Hadrian, as he did, he mimicked, his head the other way, and the two of them quickly walked to the other side of the hall, as they walked, Jeremy quickly joined them, earning an eye roll from Damon.
After closing the door to the classroom, Damon looked over to Bonnie, "He's here, we could end this, Kill him, then use your power to Kill Klaus later", as he finished he stared at Bonnie, and as he did she begun to think, with this power, she truly believed herself able to kill him, she just nodded to Damon, "Your right, we can miss this chance, if we can get him alone, we can end this, tonight".
Damon just nodded at her, he quickly looked back to Jerem,y "Think you can keep Elena occupied and get Stefan here", he just nodded, and ran out of the room. Stefan quickly entered, asking what was so urgent, they quickly explained their plane, and as they spoke, Stefan began to nod and agreed to help them. As they walk back into the dance hall, they can see Alaric looking at them with an eyebrow raised, Stefan quickly walked over to him and explains the plan, as he does Bonnie spots Caroline alone, and she and Damon quickly walk over to her "Hey Caroline, can we talk to you", thinking they wanted to talk about the fact she was here with Hadrian, she nodded and the three of them went into the hallway before she could speak, Damon sped behind her and snapped her neck, he quickly caught her before her body could hit the ground. With a quick nod to Bonnie, he dragged Caroline into a classroom, and Bonnie walked back into the dance hall, looking for Hadrian.
..
As Caroline left to use the bathroom, Hadrian went searching the school, with the aim to find a water fountain, whilst the punch was nice, it was far too sweet for him, he couldn't help but smile, for the first time in a few centuries he actually found himself connecting to someone other than his family, his happiness was interrupted as he turned the corner, as he did he saw Stefan and Damon, both blocking the door, raising an eyebrow, "Gentleman" before anyone could move, Hadrian was thrown through the brick wall to his left, as he was smashed through it, Bonnie walked through, striding with purpose, hand extended towards him. Hadrian was quick to stand and look at Bonnie, as he did he got a feel of her power level, it had risen dramatically "Chock full of Ovaltine are we" Clearly bonnie was in no mood for quips, as she left out a grunt, and Hadrian felt his leg breaking, with a quiet scream, Hadrian was forced to kneel down, as his leg healed.
Looking back up he could see Damon and Stefan had joined her, standing side by side before he could speak Bonnie began to chant, and as she did the light in their room began to licker, soon the glass shattered, and electric sparks began to litter the floor, as her chant got louder, Hadrian began to grip his head, as it felt like his eyes were about to pop out from the pressure his head was experiencing, with a scream, he was able to stand, as he did, he yelled out incoherently and slashed his arm out towards them, as he did, they all flew backward and smashed into the wall.
No longer in such pain, Hadrian, in a deep, furious voice roared "To those dead witches that are allowing her to channel them, know this after I kill her, I will hunt down all of your descendants, and I won't just kill them, I will turn them, you will never get their magic added to yours, your line will die," As he said this, he had managed to get back onto his feet, Bonnie was soon standing and unleashed more power, causing Hadrian eyes to bleed, and his legs to shake, as Hadrian falls to his knees, blood coming from his Nose, he quickly reinforced his mental shields, trying to block out the pain, he was partially successful, whilst the pain was no longer agony, it was now a dull ache. As he looked back at them, he stood, his eyes glowing in Emerald fire, as he walked towards them, the very concrete cracking under each step, unable to handle the force being forced down onto them. As Hadrian looked back to Bonnie, who was still chanting, trying to cause more pain, before she could finish Hadrian said "Know this spirits, I hold my word, remove this power, or I will end your Line"
Before Bonnie could finish another spell, she began to scream, blood flowing from her nose, ears, and eyes, the spirits had removed their power from her, quickly overcome with the loss of the power and feeling the effects of Hadrian's magical presence, she collapsed. without the Magic affecting him, Hadrian was quick to heal, as the blood stopped flowing, he looked to Damon and Stefan, "tell Elena the deal is broken", before they could say a word, he was gone.
Stefan was quick to pick up Bonnie, and as he did they sped back towards the dance, with the intent to find Jeremy and get Elena out of there, as they rushed down the hallway, they found Jeremy, he was sitting on the floor, with his back leaning against the wall, he was just staring into space, his eyes vacant, with drool coming down from his mouth, seeing this Stefan put bonnie down and rushed to him, but nothing he tried would wake him, feeling desperate, he slapped Jeremy hard, this seemed to wake him from the daze, as he did he screamed "Elena", after quickly closing and reopening his eyes, he seemed to come back to life and recognize who was with him, before anyone could speak, he let out one word "Hadrian"
