Part 27 – Witchy Mindgames
Bonnie felt a headache coming on, she clutched onto Davina's arm as a blinding light overtook her senses and her vision. She found herself in a white room with no doors or windows, a woman dressed in what she could only describe as dirty red rags stood with her back towards her, blood dripping from her hands.
"Where is this place?" Bonnie asked calmly, walking around the room trying to survey it for an escape.
"There is no escape, you may leave only when I permit you to"
"That much confidence… you must be Ester's long lost sister... Dahlia. You and your sister are so much alike." Bonnie rolled her eyes and held out her hands manifesting a comfortable single sofa which she proceeded to relax on.
"How did you do that" Dahlia asked without turning.
"I have my ways. Like you have your baby killing ways"
"Speak not of that which you do not understand"
"That you are a child killing psychopath who also abused her niece?"
"Hush" Dahlia screamed as she attempted to rush Bonnie only to be stop by a shield as Davina and Freya appeared.
"How did you enter my mind trap?"
"We are stronger than you think." Bonnie said standing up.
"Give me your hands" Bonnie commanded her fellow witches.
"Qui mihi infante involavit sic liquat comodo aqua. Ell[…] muta qui eam involavit." Bonnie chanted strengthening her curse with the magic of Freya and Davina.
Dahlia grabbed at her throat as a dark fluid began building up in her throat and dissolving her tongue, she flicked her blood soaked hands towards the three witches and flung them back into their bodies.
"What exactly happened? Bonnie was gone then the two of you decided to do a spell to find her and I had to handle 3 unconscious witches and 2 hungry twins. This better be good" Caroline sassed as she held one of the twins to her breast, the other one was with Patrice at the door who was showing her the different baubles he had collected over the years.
"You're lucky I listened to Patrice and didn't call the men in your lives"
"I have no man in my life" Davina huffed.
"Oh you and Kol and Daddy Marcel… you three are going to keep us entertained for a long while to come." Caroline teased.
"So what happened?"
"It was a trap of sorts, one to which she called my consciousness to… I think she just wanted to get a feel of us." Bonnie said running her hands over Freya and Davina.
"Why are you feeling them up?"
"Crystal!" Bonnie said, holding up her newly acquired dark magic absorbing trinket from Patrice, exasperated at Caroline who seemed to be having way too much fun teasing them.
"Soo, should I call Damon over when Davina rubs it on you" Caroline asked wiggling her eyebrows.
"I swear Caroline, you are more like my husband than you think"
"I wish I had this" Freya said, looking at the women in the room with puppy like innocence.
"You have us now" Davina said holding Freya's hand in both of hers.
"What was that incantation you used?" Freya asked Bonnie.
"It was a curse, I cursed her to lose her tongue. Can't exactly spell people if you can't speak the words."
"Unless she uses expression"
"Well, at least I've left her only with expression"
"Is that what you think? Come on girls you should know better. This witch has been around longer than the Mikaelson's. She is a far greater foe. This was only to test your wit" Patrice chided.
"But she had to release Bonnie, I'd say that's a win right?" Davina asked.
"I don't think so… I think in the time you were with her she was able to get a glimpse into the fabric of each of you. When she attacks again she will be prepared"
"I agree with Patrice, aunt Dahlia wouldn't be beaten by a curse. She razed entire covens on her own"
"Where does that leave us? No offence ladies but Bon is our ace" Caroline asked.
"You can't kill someone as strong as she is."
"So entrapment?" Bonnie asked.
"The problem with entrapments is there are always loopholes"
"Like prison world… what's on your mind Patrice"
"A relic, a blade forged from the blood of a witch that shares her blood entirely… Mother Mikaelson's blood"
"Ester hates us and will probably ask us to do something impossible like resurrect her just so she can ruin our lives again, I don't think it's going to work"
"Bonnie, how many times have you come back from the dead?"
"No no no, Ester is psycho; we can't risk her being back in her own body."
"Rebecca and Freya could speak to her. Maybe stir up some motherly feelings." Caroline suggested
"I doubt that woman has any motherly feelings" Freya responded.
"Perhaps we can tap into her guilt instead" Davina said thoughtfully.
"You may have something there. She does feel guilty about Freya. We could use that."
"Should I get your mother to watch the children while you call on the wolves and Elijah?"
"Patrice you are the best!" Caroline trilled, as she nodded the affirmative.
"This idea is ludicrous! I can't believe you got me to agree with this foolish idea" Klaus said as he paced the room.
"Relax, give Rebecca and Freya a chance." Caroline said standing up and pulling her husband to sit beside her.
"How come we never knew about this blade forged in mother's blood?" Elijah asked Patrice.
"She forged it to kill her vampire offspring…"
"Wait; is it a black handled athame with a red blade?" Klaus asked.
"How did you know?"
"Mikael stabbed me with it once."
"I wish I could kill him again" Caroline hissed under her breath.
"I think you win the crappiest parents award" Damon saluted from Bonnie's side.
"How long do you think this will take?" Klaus asked rubbing his temples.
"It depends on Rebecca and Freya"
