So once again part of this chapter will be taken from the episode (Homecoming) but the rest of the chapter will be written differently to make it fit with the story. Also, this is the last chapter that will resemble canon because from the next chapter onwards the story will take a whole different route. So without any further delay, here you go, I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Bonnie's P.O.V
It's been six days since Bonnie closed the door to the other side. Six days since her breakup with Jeremy and for six days she is staying away from her friends because she didn't want to discuss the tale of her broken heart.
At first, she let Caroline in but afterwards, she felt guilty for not including Elena in it but even if she could she can't drag Elena into this mess because she is Jeremy sister.
So she feigned sickness and stayed away from her school and everyone.
Turns out It was not that hard to stay away because Caroline has been busy with upcoming Homecoming party planning and according to her texts Rebekah has joined in to challenge and criticized each and every one of her idea.
Elena on the other hand (according to Caroline's texts) is busy training with Ric and playing house with Damon as they took care of his adorable cute little niece. She forgets to mention her name but few times she mentioned anything about Zach Salvatore's daughter she gushes how cute and well behaved child she is.
"Although that kid sometimes said weird stuff like one time we were watching twilight and she called Robert Pattinson Batman and I am sure first time we met she was going to call me Gr something but then Damon quickly corrected her and told her my name."
Bonnie didn't reply much but only text back that she was fine and soon they will get together but today an hour ago Caroline text her again.
"At least come to the Homecoming party, we changed the venue to Lockwood house because Gym got flooded."
She made the excuse of not feeling well and decided to read the book but somehow she felt restless. After two hours of the unsuccessful attempt of reading, she finally gave up and went to bed.
To her surprise her eyes started to drop as soon she laid down on her back and before she knew it she was falling deep in sleep.
(Dream/
Vision)
It was a strange place, a forest with a lake nearby, but Bonnie knew that this is not a place she was familiar with.
For a while, she kept walking in this strange wilderness and only moonlight is a source of any light she could get.
Soon she heard a howling sound and fear crept inside her because these sounds were drawing closer and closer.
Without waiting for any of these creatures, she starts running as fast as possible in hopes of finding some sort of protection or shelter.
From far away her eyes fell on light and she ran towards it. Soon she was stepping inside a clearing where four people stood around the bonfire.
There where three men and one woman. First one is a tall, thin, dark man with a beard and curly hair. The second man is also dark and tall but he looked muscular. The third man has a fair complexion and short hair and when his eyes fell on her he smiled at her and walked towards her.
"You are late for love." To Bonnie's surprise, this man was ith British accent pulled her in his embraced and start kissing her passionately.
By the time she managed to push him away she was gasping for air and every cell on her body was turned on. "Who are you?! What is this place?"
The guy frowned and stepped away and as he did her long hair fell back on her side. Stunned she picked and then caress her long locks and found out it can reach her hips.
It was then she checked herself out and sure enough, she was wearing leather boots. Jeans and long maroon sweater shirt but out of everything that shocked her most was Purple diamond ring glittering on her ring finger.
"What the hell is this!?" She screamed while walking closer to the bonfire and watching that wedding ring in a clear light. The purple stone in middle was connected by a silver band and the closer she brings it near her face the more clearly she can see it connected by two small minuscule initials. 'B & L'.
"It's your wedding ring love." That guy told her before glancing at someone as he asks. "What is wrong with her?"
"Who is this L? What is going on and who are you, people?!" Bonnie scream at him while stepping away when a blonde women approach her.
"Calm down love. I think all these spells are stressing you out." The British guy told her while the rest of the group watch her with great interest.
"She is not our Bonnie Enzo." The blonde women told him as she steps closer to her. " Right now her body is in possession of her past self."
"What?!" Bonnie ask out loud and in answer, blonde women wave her hand and a mirror appear out of nowhere.
"Oh, My God!" Bonnie gasp because her reflection shows a grown-up woman in her thirties with long wavy hair and one braid on her right side covered with brown beads. She touched her face and watched as that grown women mimic her movement.
Before she can assess more the mirror disappear and that blonde woman steps closer. "Now, do we have your attention?"
In answer, Bonnie could only nod her head.
"Good so now listen carefully because you are going to wake up soon. There is a little girl in your time. Her name is Hope and she will need your help to find a past version of me and this man." She pointed at the muscular guy who smiles and then zooms towards them, making her jump in horror. "You are a Vampire?"
"Name is Marcel Gerard and I am actually super, extraordinary, one of the kind vampire and that little girl Hope's older brother/ uncle."
"And I am Freya Hope's Elder Aunt and that's my husband Vincent Griffith." She introduced herself and her husband who was tall, thin man.
Bonnie felt headache and before she knew it the British guy was helping her sit down while gently massaging her forehead. "Is this spell is hurting her Freya."
"Don't worry Enzo, your wife is strong enough to handle this moment," Freya assured him but her words snapped Bonnie head towards this man. "Wife?"
In answer, he kissed her ring and introduced himself. "I am your future husband Lorenzo St John but everyone calls me Enzo. Please don't panic now love. Don't want you to change anything because we really love our life."
Before she can give him any sane reply Freya's husband clear his throat. "Can we please concentrate before we lose this moment?" Bonnie told him yes and he continued with a serious expression. "Now Bonnie listen to me carefully when you wake up I want you to go to your ancestral House. The place where witches were sacrificed. There you will meet Hope she is eight years old and she too is witch among other things."
"Among other things?" Bonnie ask again because she was sure she heard something wrong.
"Hope is special." Freya began to explain. " In our world, she is uniquely powerful and that's why she is in grave danger. Our enemies wanted to capture her but a massive fight broke out and even though we were managed to save her but it comes with a price."
A tear fell from her face and her husband Vincent finish what she couldn't complete. "They captured Hope's Father and Grandfather."
Bonnie who felt sorry for them couldn't help but frown as she asks the man who claims to be her future husband, even though it seems insane because he is a vampire. "How are we involved in this?"
"Because for Hope you are her Grams." Bonnie gasp and she watched his eyes turned sympathetic, probably because he can understand this term of endearment. "We are best friends with Hope's Grandparents and Godparents of her mother Haley and her aunt Davina and since I couldn't give you kids we kind of raised that family children along with our friends."
He then cupped her face and make her look in his eyes and she can see deep love and loyalty in those eyes. "Right now our granddaughter is all alone in different place and time and she will need her Grams help. So will you trust this moment and help her out?"
They all waited and Bonnie couldn't help but reply in a clear, determined voice. "Yes, now tell me what I have to do?"
They all sigh in relief and then Freya began to explain. " First find Hope, she will give you a letter that can only be open by a drop of your blood, a necessary precaution because we don't want anyone else to read its content. Inside your letter you will find address and enchantments that you will need to rescue me out of the place where I will be trapped at that moment, she will also have other two letters that can make our past selves believe your truth.
Then you have to leave with her and travel to New Orleans to found Marcel and my past selves. Since in your time its been week when Hope first arrived, so now you will have approximately three weeks until next full moon to find us and bring yourself back with Hope."
"Its necessary that this mission is completed by then because no matter what happens you have to return back to your ancestral ground by full moon otherwise you will skip the portal and Hope will be stuck in that time forever." Vincent finished with a clear warning.
"Don't worry, even if we don't succeed I will make sure that Hope returns to you all." Bonnie promise which brings a sad smile on their face.
"Thank you but please try to succeed because not only our family lives but this entire world safety depend on your success," Freya told her and before Bonnie could ask her the meaning behind that statement her eyes fell heavy and the last thing she saw is her future husband face and his voice. "Best of luck Love."
(End of Vision/ Dreams)
With a gasp, Bonnie eyes flew open and she found herself in her bedroom.
For a second she felt everything was a dream but then her own voice rang loud and clear in her mind. "Run Bonnie! Hope needs you!"
And so she ran as she packed few of her things before running outside towards her car and start driving towards her ancestor's house.

( Earlier That Day)
Damon planned everything perfectly. Klaus was on his way after Stefan and Rebekah assured him that Mikael is truly gone.
This time Damon planned like Katherine used to do and he even called her to pose as Elena.
While Rebekah was upstairs taking shower they watched as Mikael drained Stefan's blood. "You couldn't just snap his neck!" Damon asks to which he laughed evilly with blood dripping from his mouth.
Wiping it away Mikael handed the dagger to Elena. "I hope you can do your part girl."
With that, he left and after a few minutes, Katherine left with Matt.
"Do you want me to stick around?" Damon asks her, his tone laced with concern.
She pushed him towards the door as she whispers. "I will be fine and as soon we will succeed, sooner you can bring Hope here."
He didn't reply but a smile form on his face as he told her in his seductive low voice. "I think Hope and I are getting used to your tiny bed."
She blushed and watch as he winked at her and then headed towards the door.
Once he left, she then hid dagger in her jeans pocket and decided to wait for Rebekah in her room.
While waiting for her she read her earlier text in which Jeremy assured her that he and Hope were doing great.
She was about to text again for a quick update when Rebekah appeared dressed in a red designer dress. "What do you want now?"
"I want to apologize, I know how much hard all this is for you."
Elena hates herself but as soon she starts distractingly talking, Elena raised her hand to stab her on the back.
Only that never happened because before she could make a plunge a door burst open and dagger flew out from her hand.
"What the hell!" Rebekah yells in shock as she watched dagger in little girl's hand who was standing at doorway along with Elena's brother.
"Hope!" Elena gasps before turning to glare at her brother. "Why did you bring her here?!"
"I didn't bring her here!" Jeremy shouted in outrage. "More like she dragged me here with her magical powers! Which you didn't warn me about!"
Before anyone can say anything they all hear Hope tearful voice. "I had a vision of you hurting aunt Bex! Why would you hurt her? And where is Pappie?" She asks while crying.
Elena was about to walk towards her but she felt a strong hand around her throat as Rebekah glare at her with veins popping under her eyes. "You backstabbing Bitch!"
It was chaos because as Rebekah prepared herself to drain her, Elena pulled out a wooden stake to help herself and Jeremy rushed towards them. It was then they were all forced to pull away when Hope scream. "Stop! Stop hurting each other!"
Rebekah didn't understand how it was possible that this young girl has so much power to stop someone like herself.
Elena who was helping her brother on his feet saw Hope's gasping for air and then her eyes gone completely white.
"Hope!" She rushed towards the girl who seems to be having fits.
"What is going on with her?" She heard Rebekah's intriguing voice behind her.
"That's what happened back at home, she went like this and as soon she returned to normal she starts screaming something like Nona is going to hurt my aunt," Jeremy explains making both women stare at each other.
They didn't get a chance to ponder over this revelation because in that second Hope return to normal and her eyes were horrified as she gasps. "Pappie, we need to stop Pappie!"
############
Mikael was dead but now Damon and Klaus were rolling on the ground as Damon tried to plunge the stake deep in his enemy's heart.
He still can't believe his own brother betrayed him and he was glad to snap his neck when he tried to defend Klaus.
Klaus felt deep anger at their audacity to even consider they can harm him. He used his strength to push away Damon from him.
He was then ready to bite him and this time he will gloat at his painful death but before he could take a bite something smash on his face.
"Aha!" Damon smirked as his special bomb of wolfbane and vervain caused Klaus enough agony to distract him as he kicked him away.
Grabbing stake again he braces himself for attack when he heard a familiar voice. "Pappie stop!"
"Hope?" Damon pause midway his attack.
Klaus watched Damon flatter as his attention was solely on this girl. He also noticed his sister, doppelganger and her brother behind this girl.
"Hope get out of here!" Damon yelled but then someone tackles him on the ground and before he knows it Klaus's hand was clutching his heart.
Klaus laughed when he felt his enemy heart ready to be ripped in his hands but before he could yank it out a small hand grabbed his arms. "Stop! Stop hurting each other!"
Both men watch as this young girl tried to tear them away from each other.
"Hope, get away from this monster! " Damon gasp and then the pressure was gone as Hope wave her hand and pushed them away with her powers.
Klaus couldn't believe his eyes when he felt an invisible force controlling his body to move away from his enemy.
Damon who has managed to gather his strength stood up to attack Klaus once again.
He was stepping forward but his path was blocked by his granddaughter who was still crying as she pleaded. "Please Pappie don't kill him! You can't kill him!"
"Why?" He bellowed in anger and everyone even Klaus flinch a bit but not Hope who screams her answer. "Because he is my Dad!"
It was like everything frozen at that moment because everyone heard her clear as day and yet no one can understand how it was possible.
Elena and Rebekah couldn't believe their ears while Jeremy's mouth hung open in shock.
Klaus watched that girl claiming to be his daughter while still shielding him from his enemy who suddenly got this murderous look on his face. "What did you say, little girl?" Klaus asks her while unconsciously stepping closer to this child.
"That he can't hurt you because you are my dad and dad you can't hurt him either because he is my Pappie."
"Liar!" Damon roared at Hope who jumped back and to fuel his anger, even more, she ran behind Klaus's leg to hide from him, while she keeps staring at him with fear in her eyes.
"You lied to me about everything! You can't be my granddaughter! because there is no bloody way I will let any of my daughter near this disgusting monster!" He spat last words at Klaus who was now completely shielding Hope.
"Watch it, Salvatore! And you?!" He leaned away from her as he demanded the truth out of this child. "Why are you lying? because it's impossible for our kind to have children?" Klaus informs Hope while staring pointedly in suspicion.
He watched this young girl weep as her blue eyes filled with tears. He has to step back in surprise because her eyes shade matches his own. Even her features are remarkably similar to his own face.
"You are right Klaus, our kind doesn't have kids let alone grandkids and I guess you planted this girl to mess with us." Damon was now sure that she was Klaus's pawn because she arrived at the exact same day when he left after attacking Elena. "She is your spy isn't she?"
At this point, Hope has enough as she screamed. "Stop it!" And burst of energy blasts out from her hands that burst lights all around them and knocked them down on the floor.
"You can't be my Dad and Pappie! They loved me and they love each other. They never ever hurt each other, in fact, they always fight together to protect me and our family!" She sniffs and angrily wipes her tears away as she glared at both men. "You are bad people and this place is bad! I don't want to stay here anymore. I am going home to save my real Dad and Pappie who are good people and they are nothing like you!"
With that, she starts running towards the forest and while Damon and Klaus stayed rooted to their spots Elena, Rebekah and Jeremy ran after her.
"Hope!" Elena yelled while Rebekah zoomed away after Hope.
Turning back she glare at Damon who was still standing fuming on his spot. "Damon, what are you doing there? Go after her!"
But he turned his face away. "At least you go after her." She screams at Klaus who unlike Damon was more shocked with that girl's words.
It was then Rebekah came back as she told everyone. "The girl is gone. I don't know how but she disappeared when she saw me following her."
"How is that possible?" Klaus asks his sister but instead, Damon scoffed at him. "You should know since she is your spy."
"Oh for God's sake shut up!" Elena yells and then cupped his face to make him look at her. "I know you are in shock but you love that girl! Now think where she could be? Or is there anyone besides us she can trust?"
For a minute Damon tried to let go of his anger as he tried to think hard. "She was searching for her Grams, but I..." He stopped when Elena gasp her eyes widened as she dropped her hands.
"What?" He asks while everyone else watched the stunned look on her face.
"Grams, That's what we used to call Bonnie's grandmother Sheila." She finally managed to say it out loud.
"But if she truly is from the future." Damon began and then he finally understands. "She was here for Bonnie all along."
With that Damon rushed towards the forest because he has this inkling about exactly where she was supposed to meet her Grams.
############
Stefan just parked Klaus coffins truck outside the dead witches house.
Even though Damon may be angry with him for his betrayal, he will understand once he knows the truth behind him saving Klaus tonight.
"So this is where you want to hide these coffins?" Katherine asks as they pulled the last coffin outside.
"Yeah, and we should get back before they killed each other," Stefan told her as he reached out for the door but Katherine stopped him before he can open it and she then starts berating him. "I didn't pull you away from that mayhem, only for you to ran back to it!"
"You shouldn't have to safe me in the first place!" He yells back at her. "But at least it gives me a chance to act on my revenge."
Suddenly they heard someone approaching and Katherine was about to attack this intruder when.
"Ah!" Katherine's screams echo all around them and before he can do anything her neck snapped on its own and in that exact second Bonnie steps out from the forest. "What is going on here Stefan? And what is she doing with you?"
But Stefan felt happy to see her as he opened the first coffin to show her. "Look, Bonnie, I got Klaus's family here to take my revenge."
Bonnie watched Elijah's body inside the coffin with a dagger sticking to his chest.
"Come, Bonnie, help me hid this inside. With his family as leverage, we can finally get rid of Klaus for once and for all."
Before she could give him any answer they heard someone running towards them. "Who else is coming." Stefan fume and he was bracing himself for an attack when they saw a little girl running towards them.
Bonnie was expecting so many things but none prepared her when that child ran straight into her arms. "Grams! Thank God you are here. Please take me home! I don't like this time at all! I don't like dad and Pappie fighting with each other! They both called me a liar! They are really bad!" She cried out while weeping in her arms.
"Hope?" Stefan gently called her and watched as this innocent child lift her face at his voice and even with tears falling from her eyes she seems little confused. "Papa Stefan? What are you doing here?"
She then pulled away from Bonnie's embrace and her eyes fell on Katherine's body.
"Aunt Kathy!" She gasps and to their surprise ran straight towards her and lean down to touch her unconscious face. "What happened to my aunt?" She asks while gently touching Katherine's face.
"Aunt? You know her and how could you know this is Katherine and not Elena?" Stefan asks in shock because its hard to distinguish between Katherine and Elena and here is this girl who recognizes her instantly.
"I know the difference between my aunt and Nona." She replied back as if its the most obvious thing in the world.
Bonnie who was still trying to process everything decide its time to leave. "Hope, sweetie come here, we need to go."
But Hope was not listening to her anymore because of her eyes land on coffins.
"Uncle Elijah?" She peeked inside and new tears from on her face as she started opening rest of those coffin with a wave of her hand but only two more open up while one remains closed. "Uncle Kol? Uncle Fin"
Stefan who was watching all this suddenly shout out. "Hope step away from those coffins and leave with Bonnie."
But she was not listening because then she reached closer to the closed coffin and reach out to touch it.
Bonnie watched as something like hatred appears on her sweet innocent face as she screamed at the coffin. "It's your fault! Everything is your fault!"
With that, she raised her hand and the coffin raised in the air before it moves inside the house.
She then shut the door with a wave of her hand and start chanting. "Vis Sera Portus! Vis Sera Portus!"
'They were right. She is uniquely powerful.' Bonnie thought to herself as she watched this little girl performing such complex magic with so much ease.
The spell that takes longer than minutes, was only done in few short seconds as Hope seals the house with her magic.
Stefan who still couldn't believe his eyes was helpless when she waves her hand and yank the Daggers out of Klaus's brother's body.
"No." But before he could stop her she turned daggers into ashes and then raise her hand at him. "Go to sleep." And just like that Stefan Salvatore fall unconscious on the ground.
############
Wake up! Damn it Stefan wake up!"
It was hard for him to open his eyes until someone slap him hard on the face "Wake up you pathetic Ripper!"
He opened his eyes and found himself in Hell because both his brother and Klaus were glaring at him.
"Am I in Hell? He groggily asks and he heard Damon growl and then he yanks him on his feet while gripping his collar. " You will be in second but first tell us where is Hope?"
"And where are those daggers and my mother's coffin?!" Klaus screams as he watched his sister crying over their unconscious brothers.
"That girl Hope sealed your mother's coffin inside the house and then she destroyed those daggers." Stefan dejectedly told him because now he can't take his revenge anymore.
"Who the hell cares about those coffins or daggers! Just tell me where Hope is?!"
"She left with Bonnie." He informed Damon and then ask his own questions. "Who is this girl anyway? She called Bonnie Grams and called me Papa Stefan. She even knew Katherine and your brothers although she hates your mother for some reason." He told Klaus who seem speechless but Rebekah laughs in amusement. "Oh she is definitely your kid Nick but unlike you, she loves her family which makes me doubtful of her parentage."
Klaus growl at her which makes her laugh more but at that moment Elena arrived with Jeremy.
"Bonnie is gone. Her place was empty and her car is gone." Elena informs them as soon as they get out of the car.
"How am I supposed to find her now?!" Damon cried out feeling scared for his little girl. "Bonnie was my only shot and she never told me anything about her brother or aunt."
"What brother or aunt?" Klaus inquires and Damon in his stress forget all about his anger as he starts explaining everything about Hope.
"Seems like a lovely child." Klaus's eyes widened in horror as he heard Elijah voice behind him. He turned around and saw his brother helping Katrina on her feet.
"And you want us to believe that this monster has fathered this child." His brother Fin insults him and before he knows it he punches him square in the face.
"Wished we had those daggers, maybe we could stab you with it." Kol taunts him as he casually sat on top of his coffin.
"Will you all just shut up!" Damon yelled at them when he had enough of this crazy family reunion. "There is an eight-year-old girl out there with a teenage witch, searching for a past version of her relatives to God knows where!"
"Well since you don't know anything about her quest than its pointless to waste our time listening to your ranting," Klaus told Damon who was ready to stake him again.
"Wait!" Jeremy shout out as he ran towards his car and from backseat gets Hope's backpack.
They watched as he opened it and pulled out a few sketches which he hands it to Damon. "These are Hope's drawings of her mom, brother and house."
Damon watched a grown woman picture smiling back at him. "This was her mother's picture," Elena told him quietly which brings Klaus interest.
He peered at that picture and even though he found the girl quite beautiful, he couldn't recognize her at all.
"And these were drawings of her brother and home," Elena informed Damon but it was Klaus's reaction that baffled them.
"Impossible." His hands were shaking as he clutched both these pictures. "This is a lie! This man is dead and this home was burned down a century ago!" He bellowed in rage while throwing those drawings as if they were laced with Vervain.
"What's the matter?" Rebekah asks as she picked those drawing and then gasp in disbelief. "It can't be."
"Why? Who is it?" Damon asks and in answer, she replied one word.
"Marcel."
