CHAPTER 6
Bonnie gave Damon a curious look as she passed them in the main room. In return she received a wink and smile. Her heart sped up and that fluttering feeling in her core began like always. It was Damon's turn to arch that condescending eyebrow of his knowing full well what he was doing to her. Would probably always do to her. Shaking her head and laughing all the while she continued to the front door.
All three vampires were distracted for different reasons and that's why it took more than a second to realize what was at the door.
"Hello." Before a reply could be made Damon was in front of Bonnie staring down the new vampire in town. Caroline and Stefan pulled the door wide open so they could also get a good look.
"I'm Rose, you must be Bonnie Bennett, the local witch and your protector here is Damon Salvatore, his little brother Stefan and the newest addition to the family Caroline Forbes." Silence all around as they all just stared at her.
"I don't mean to be so forward, but we don't have time to waste with the coming of Klaus on the horizon."
"Wooooo you know our names.?" Damon rolled his eyes annoyed.
"You know what, it's Christmas, the giving season. I give you one chance to get the hell off my property and out of my town before you don't make it back to that rock you crawled out from under!" Caroline was already pushing the others out of the way than shutting the door.
"Please hear me out, please." Rose wasn't beyond begging to get them to work with her. Freedom was so close she could taste it, but she needed their help.
"Damon you know we have to hear her out." It was Stefan being the reasonable one. For Elena, for us all." Caroline couldn't help to look at Stefan when he mentioned the one person they would do anything for. Reality hit her like a bucket of ice cold water. She wasn't the one for him. That position is solely her best friend's. Turning her attention to the others gave her the excuse to ignore Stefan. She just wanted to have a little more time with him before she walked away from him and tried to just be a friend.
Damon was still contemplating killing Rose and being done with it and if Bonnie wasn't here he would've done it already.
"She isn't going to be invited in. I hope you're offended." Damon was not being nice and he wanted this Rose to know he didn't trust her.
"Totally understandable. I can make the offer just as well outside than in. As you know Katerina Petrova started this whole mess with Klaus over 500 hundred years ago. Since than hell has been brought down on all of my kind, your kind," Rose pointed to Bonnie.
"Now all of you have been ensnared in this trap and our only hope of surviving this war is to work together to take out Klaus." She took a second to perceive their reaction. Damon still looked bored and the others were listening.
"Who are you?" Bonnie was the one to voice suspicion and Rose admired her for it.
"I was born a soldier for The Originals. All my undead life I have been a slave to them. They are feared and disliked equally, but Klaus most of all. Under the banner of his son Elijah and in secrecy we have been planning his downfall for centuries. The time is now for Elijah to take over and stir our kind in the right direction instead of back to the dark ages."
"What about the other Originals? They are just going to let this Elijah take the reigns without a fight?" Stefan took the words right out of Damon's mind. His little brother was keen on things after all.
"There are no other Originals. Klaus has assassinated or had them executed for treason or whatever he could come up with at the time."
"So the son takes out the father before his father does the same to him." Damon laughed classic intrigue even in the vampire world.
"Death and destruction is all Klaus knows. Elijah wants to be free of such nonsense."
"Yeah, yeah we hear your song and dance. You and your band of merry vampires seem to know what you're doing. Why do we need to involve ourselves and put our lives in danger?" Again Damon didn't need to ask the question that Caroline just did.
"Katherine is here Care. Klaus will come for her, he will come for Elena. Mystic Falls is the battleground." Bonnie leaned on Damon as she spoke. The weight of what was to come laid heavy on her. Rose said Klaus was nothing but death and destruction and that was what was coming to her town, her home.
"The witch is correct again. The war is coming to your footsteps and there is nothing you can do to stop it. We have an army of vampires, witches and werewolves at our disposal and they are all looking to do one thing."
"Kill Klaus!" Damon said out loud and they all concurred.
