PRESENT
"They're all here and waiting," Stefan comments as he closes Rebekah's coffin.
Bonnie doesn't hear him as she was standing over the familiar coffin from her dreams. She didn't notice her hand was stroking the lid.
"Bonnie!" Stefan appears by her side, shaking her shoulder. Bonnie snaps out of her daydream, shaking her head to clear it. "What's going on with you, Bonnie? Since I stole these coffins, you've been acting funny."
"Open this coffin, Stefan." She commands, unwilling to share her thought with him. They weren't friends, and she was definitely not sharing Kol with him. "Open it."
Stefan looks at her in confusion. Why did she want to open Kol's coffin so badly?
"Do you think you can open the locked coffin?"
Bonnie scowls at his question; she asked him to open Kol's coffin. She couldn't care less about Esther's ass!
Wait...how did she know who was in the coffin? Since Stefan brought the coffins to the witch's cottage, she's only trying to open the locked coffin once before giving up. But she never knew who was in it until now. Was she connected to the man of her dreams, Kol?
'Open my coffin, little darling. Open it, and we can finally be reunited.' Kol's sultry voice whispers in her ear. 'I know you can, little darling.'
Bonnie felt sick, a headache pounding against her head. She had to get Kol out of this god awful coffin. She can't believe Klaus had him locked away for so long. "I've got to let him out." She fumbles with the coffin lid before it's snatched open. She wastes no time reaching towards the silver dagger in Kol's chest, pulling it out.
"Bonnie, no!" Stefan grabs her hand, pulling her away.
"No! I have to get him out of there!" Stefan barely has time to dodge Bonnie's fist as she swings, fighting to get out of his grip and pull the dagger out of Kol's chest. "Bonnie, you don't even know him! What is wrong with you?!"
Stefan struggles to hold Bonnie while closing the lid to the coffin. "Bonnie! Bonnie, whatever you've got going on, you need to SNAP OUT OF IT!" Stefan grabs her by both of her shoulders, shaking her. Bonnie looks at him in bewilderment as she calms down.
"What are you talking about? Get off me." Stefan shakes his head, "Bonnie, you were trying to pull a dagger out of one of Klaus' siblings! You were acting crazy, are you alright?"
Bonnie turns away, looking down at the coffin. Just what the hell was wrong with her?
"Bonnie, look at me. You can't afford to be distracted, alright? We've got Klaus trapped, and if you get distracted, then we're screwed." Stefan strokes her arms, pulling her into a hug.
"I don't know what's wrong with me, Stefan. I've been seeing this coffin for weeks, and now he's in front of me. I need him, Stef." Bonnie says into the cloth of his jacket, her hands held onto him in a tight grip.
"Bonnie, you're not making any sense. Are you telling me you've been seeing one of Klaus' siblings in your dreams?" Stefan's eyes widened when Bonnie nodded.
"Do you remember anything from it? Anything you'd think would be important against Klaus?"
Bonnie rolls her eyes, hitting his shoulder. "Can we just worry about me at the moment, Stefan? Klaus isn't going anywhere, and he isn't going to bust down the door anytime soon."
"Excuse me for worrying about our safety and wanting to get that asshole out of town."
"You're excused, Stefan. Now, are you going to help me figure out why I'm having a crisis about a Mikaelson or not?"
"Always, Bon."
1908
"My darling Bonnie!" Kol slurs as he stumbles into his shared home with the little witch.
Bonnie rolls her eyes, pulling her quilt over her head as she listened to Kol stumble around. The moron was high off of bloodlust, and she didn't have the patience to deal with him. Let Nora handle him. The last time she dealt with a blood intoxicated Kol, he nearly bit her.
She prefers to stay in her room, as far away from him as possible. His murderous, inhumane face gave her a few nightmares.
She doesn't remove the quilt as her door eases open. "Little darling." Of course, it was Kol. Bonnie scowls as he pulls down the quilt from her eyes. "There she is! Why are you hiding from me?" Kol smiles at her, ignoring her scowl.
"Ah, attitude today, huh?"
"Considering the sun isn't up, it isn't morning. Why are you in my room, bothering me?" Kol lets out a sigh, sitting at the end of her bed. Bonnie makes a face, pulling her feet closer to her.
"I need entertainment, little darling. I had such an awful evening with my family."
Kol and his family fought like cats and dogs every week. This was nothing new, but him coming to bother her about it was.
"My elder brother, Niklaus, remembers you, and he's looking for you, Bonnie." That causes her to sit up.
"Let me see." She holds a hand out as Kol takes it, guiding it to his cheek. He easily projects his family's latest drama to her. Dear God, his brother was obsessed with finding her. And Kol was surprisingly scared. She didn't understand why they were only living together for the past six months. He didn't seem to spare her any feelings besides making her life hell.
Unknowingly, Bonnie strokes Kol's cheek as she flickers through his nightly memories. "You're scared, but you shouldn't be. I can handle myself."
"My brother is unpredictable. If he finds out I have you, he'll dagger me, and he'll do everything in his power to make you his witch."
Bonnie hums, "He doesn't seem like the type I'll get along with. And I wouldn't go willingly. So, we both know the ending results. You'll be daggered, and I'll be dead."
"Little darling, please do not talk like that." Kol takes her hand as she sits back, leaning away.
"I'm honest, Kol. What is that?" Bonnie eyes the ring Kol is currently holding.
"Though you gave me the diamond, I did something more productive with it." He slides the ring on her ring finger with ease.
"You turned my diamond into jewelry?! I could've kept it!" Bonnie admires the ring. "Though it is nice."
"Of course it is; I have taste. "Kol smirks as he watches Bonnie. She knew he had a motive for giving her jewelry, but she didn't mind as long as he kept her safe.
