1908
Fifteen-year-old, Bonnie Bennett stared down at Alice Fauline's bloodied body. She nudged her with the toe of her boot but knew it was useless. Her caretaker was dead. Her eyes burned as she struggled to hold back tears. Despite Alice being a bit unbalanced, she took care of Bonnie all her life and made sure she had nothing but the best. But, now she was gone! Killed by one of those god awful monsters!
Bonnie tried to wipe her blood-stained hands on her dress, wanting to get the sticky substances off her hands. As she did that, she didn't hear the quiet footsteps making their way towards her.
"How did I miss you, little lass?" Bonnie lets out a gasp, flinching away from the hand that was placed on her cheek. She let out a gasp, trying to back away from the young man. When his hand touched her cheek, she knew he was a vampire. She felt the menacing coldness and rotting death reeking from him.
"Tell me, how do you know Dowager Fauline? Do you know where she hides her paragon diamond darling?" The stranger caresses her cheek, forcing her to look into his eyes.
'Compulsion' rang throughout her head as his pupils dilated as he spoke. Bonnie shook her head, bracing her hands against his chest using her magic to shove him away from her. He was blasted backward, landing across the room against the wall. A larger portrait of Charles Fauline landed on top of him.
Bonnie knew that wouldn't keep him down and he'd be after her with a vengeance especially since he wanted the diamond. She took off running, she had to get out of here before she ended up dead. She told Alice to get rid of that stupid diamond but did she listen? Of course not! Now Alice is dead and she's more than likely going to be hunted by a deranged vampire.
"WITCH! DOWAGER HAS A WITCH! FIND HER BEFORE SHE ESCAPES!" She heard the vampire yell out as she ran. Multiple footsteps rang throughout the mansion.
'SHIT! I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!'
"Little witch, I can hear your erratic heartbeat. You cannot run from me. Just give me what I want and I might let you live!"
Bonnie rushes into her bedroom, slamming the door close. A simple wave of her hand locks the door, placing a barrier on it. It wouldn't last long judging by the multiple witches that had come with the vampire. But she had to retrieve the diamond, it was hidden in her room under the floorboards. A dumb hiding place but no one knew she existed before this and wouldn't think of looking in here.
She lifts the floorboard underneath her bed, grabbing the diamond. A series of three soft knocks cause her to freeze.
"Little witch...do you truly think you can hide in there from me?"
She shakes her head, stuffing the diamond inside a hidden pocket in her dress, a protection spell on her lips. No one would be getting the diamond especially not this vampire. She stands, walking over to the window. A look of confusion takes over her face as she sees three men standing outside Alice's mansion.
An unheard gasp leaves her lips as one of them looks up. His piercing blue eyes clashes with her olive-green ones. He tilts his head to the side, a look of puzzlement on his face. She and the stranger were so caught up in one another that Bonnie didn't hear the door open, the vampire standing behind her.
Her body tenses as the vampire wrapped an arm around her waist, the other hand covering her mouth.
"I told you, you could not hide from me. It was awfully stupid of you to stay in the house." Despite being terrified, Bonnie rolled her eyes. She knew that asshole!
"KOL!"
The vampire lets out a loud snarl, his grip tightening on Bonnie as one of the men yelled from outside.
"Blasted Elijah! If he's here, he's brought Klaus and that bloody Marcel." The vampire growls, looking over Bonnie's shoulder and out the window. His chest rumbles with laughter as he realized what was taking place before he had caught Bonnie.
"Aw, little witch did you get caught up in my brother's lovelorn gaze? It's a pity I'm going to be ripping your throat out after retrieving that diamond. Maybe I could've seen that train wreck love story if you weren't such a meddling little harlot."
The vampire buries his face in Bonnie's neck, the tip of his fangs scraping her skin. Bonnie closes her tear-filled eyes, gently placing her hands on the vampires. He pauses, befuddled as she went still. It was a few moments before he felt as if his limbs were on fire. His mind as well. He released Bonnie, dropping to his knees as he clutched his head falling to the floor. He bit his lip, holding back a scream, tears running down his face.
Kol knew witches loved to give aneurysm's but this was nothing he'd ever experienced. This was far worse! He could hear Mary Alice and the other witches yelling frantically as they tried to leave the mansion. He should've expected Klaus to pull something with his damn witches!
The little witch began to ease her attack, backing away from his crumpled form. He lets out a grunt, hands falling on his knees.
"Who knew such a small package held so much power." He speaks quietly, looking up at Bonnie through dark eyes. She met his gaze, defiance in her eyes.
"It's you." A quiet female voice speaks. Bonnie looks away from the vampire to the woman standing in the doorway. "You're the prodigy witch Dowager Fauline had hidden away."
The vampire looks from Bonnie to the woman. "What are you on about, Nora?"
The woman walks over to Bonnie taking her hands in hers. "You're Bonnie Bennett. For years, your name has been whispered in the witch community. A descendant of the great Ayana and Qetisyah."
Bonnie looks at the witch, Nora in suspicion. Not many knew of her last name, hell not even her name. Alice hadn't let her out of the house since Charles had died. It had been nearly six years since he'd passed. How did this Nora know of her still?
The vampire raised to his feet, flashing over to Bonnie. His eyes traveled over her face before meeting her eyes. She met him head-on, silently begging him to try her again.
"Your brother's witches have trapped everyone in the house. We cannot get out." Nora says, becoming uncomfortable with Bonnie and Kol exchanging glares.
Bonnie turned away from Kol, catching Nora's gaze. "I can break the barrier but what will you give me in return for doing it?"
Nora lets out a gasp as Bonnie's soft-spoken voice speaks in her head. "You truly are amazing! You're skilled in mental magic as well?"
"What did she say?"
"She says she can break the barrier the witches have placed but she wants to know what you'll give her in return," Nora says as Kol turns to Bonnie in disbelief.
"You really want your neck snapped don't you?" Bonnie raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms with pursed lips.
"Fine then, stay trapped. I am leaving. You will not get your precious diamond without me and more than likely all your witches will perish in this house." She raises a hand, shoving Kol away from her.
Nora gives Kol a look as he stumbles.
"Fine, little witch! Get us out of here and I can guarantee you safety."
Bonnie scoffs, shaking her head. "If you hadn't murdered my caregiver, we wouldn't have this problem, now would we? But I do not have anywhere else to go. I'll take your offer but should you try to harm me, I'll give you far worse than that nifty little spell from earlier."
"You called that nifty?! You were setting me on bloody fire! From the inside!" Kol was appalled by the witch.
"That was only part of the spell. Now, if you'd shut up and let me concentrate."
Bonnie waves a hand in dismissal, turning back towards the window. She holds up both of her hands, whispering to herself.
Nora feels a shift in the air, recognizing it as Bonnie's magic. Her magic was warming, making her feel at home as it swirled in the air.
Kol looks out the window to see Klaus's witches running away from the mansion. A few of them were collapsed, blood leaking from their noses, eyes, and ears. He spared the little witch a look as she fought the barrier. Just how powerful was she? Klaus had ten witches and this little girl alone has taken out six of them, sending the others running.
But he shouldn't doubt a Bennett. Ayana's line has always been powerful and this shouldn't surprise him but there was something about this little witch.
"The barrier is down but we must hurry. I feel your brother's rage and he is near." The witch turns to him, dropping her hands.
He isn't surprised, it's Klaus. Someone outdid him and harmed his witches. He'd be after the little witch's head if he finds out she's the cause of it.
"Nora, leave as quickly as you can. I'll take Miss. Bennett to safety."
Nora gives him a look of weary before running out of the room. He holds out a hand to Bonnie, who takes it without hesitation.
"Take me away, your royal highness."
PRESENT TIME
Bonnie gasps awake, sitting up in her bed, reaching over and turning on her bedside lamp. She was drenched in sweat, breathing frantically. She knew it was a dream but it felt so real. The handsome stranger, whom she hasn't seen in her dreams since she was sixteen had returned.
This time she was standing in front of four coffins, her feet immediately lead her to the one on the far right. She placed a hand on the coffin, stroking the top lovingly. She had no control over her movements as she opened the lid. The stranger was resting, his face pale and grey covered in dark veins. The handle of a dagger sticking out of his chest.
She strokes his cheek, silently promising to release him from his prison as soon as she could.
"What the hell? I don't even know him! Who is this?!"
Bonnie was confused and began to panic, when she gained control over her limbs, she snatched her hand away from the stranger. Admittedly her hand felt cold without his touch but this didn't explain why she was dreaming about the witches' cottage and a stranger she didn't know.
"Little darling." An alluring male's voice spoke softly in her ear. Bonnie knew the voice but could not place a face to it.
Who was this stranger in the coffin? She knew he was one of Klaus's brothers but didn't know if it was Finn or Kol? As she thought of the name Kol a shiver traveled down her spine.
Kol...Just who was Kol and how the hell did she recognize that name if he's been in a coffin for at least seventy years.
