The diner service ended with very little from for the servants to follow after Bonnie's late arrival. They all soon learned about Damon during their little breaks where Bonnie explained her abstinence. Damon's brother, Stefan Salvatore, introduced himself and while he was a kind hearted man he had a crazy essence about him. But if he was anything like Klaus than they all knew he was dangerous.
Elena took hold of Bonnie's upper arm to guide her out of the room as quickly as possible. Bonnie was on a mission to avoid having to have her little 'talk' with the royals. Of course, like all of her plans they were short lived and usually failures.
In a blur of dark colors, Elena and Bonnie halted in place when Kol appeared in front of them. Elena looked up at him in fear while Bonnie just stared. She was used the close proximity of the vampire; the Originals were known for their torture and threaten tactics.
"Excuse me, Elena is it not?" Kol asked with his arms clasped behind his back like a true gentleman though anyone who knew the family knew that it was just a joke. They were very far from well mannered and sociable. Elena from next to Bonnie nodded her head quickly having this been her first person-to-person conversation with one of the royals she looked nervous. "If you don't mind, I'd like to escort Bonnie to her room. We have a stop to make on the way that I fear cannot be dealt with tomorrow."
Elena looked towards Bonnie for guidance with a confused look on her eyes. She was conflicted and didn't know what to do. Bonnie nodded slightly, "Go on I'll meet you back in the rooms before curfew." Elena let go of Bonnie and walked away looking back at the girl every so often. Elena's small and gentle hands were soon replaced by Kol's large and tight grip as he nearly dragged her down the hallways.
"I can't believe you – testing my mother and father like that. You know more than anyone how ill tempered they are." Kol mumbled as he led Bonnie down the corridor. Kol was known as the psycho one in the family who just had a tendency to do random and vicious acts of evil. It was in his nature that he could not prevent. He was an angry teenager from the lack of respect and attention he received and when he was turned it only multiplied.
"Yes you're right, I do more than anyone." Bonnie responded with venom in her voice. Her relationship with Kol was so very complicated it was hard to get a good grasp at it. Bonnie was a strong willed woman who made sure her voice was heard at all costs which was hard in a house full of deranged vampires. Kol was the only one Bonnie felt okay enough to scream and bewilder because she always knew deep down Kol wouldn't never kill her like his other family members would. Too much history between the two.
Kol gritted his teeth and ignored Bonnie's sassy comment. If anyone else was near them he would have had to reprimand her for her disgraceful behavior but he could not deal with that right now. He continued to rabble on in frustration, "And then you have the nerve to go flirting with Damon Salvatore." He snorted as his grip tightened turning down a corner. "You should have just asked for your ticket into the burial grounds because that is where you'll end up if you waste your time on the likes of Damon Salvatore."
Bonnie was appalled at Kol's words and took it the wrong way. Bonnie, the simple minded woman she is, heard a threat coming out of his voice. He was threatening to kill her if she spent more time with Damon. Kol, however, was warning her. Warning her of the manipulative ways of Damon Salvatore. He was no changed man from when he used to be. He had a way of bringing out the worst of people; just look at his younger brother for instance. Once a vegetarian now a full-blood ripper thanks to his brother's pushing and prodding. He would bring no good for Bonnie.
"You're not my father so how about you stop trying to tell me what to do."
Kol was always very ill tempered, especially when it came to people reprimanding himself and questioning his requests. He tightened his grip on her upper arm which would for sure leave a nice hand-printed mark in the morning, "You're right, sweetheart, I'm not your father because I'm still alive your dads dead. If I were you I'd watch what you say or you'll end up just like him."
Bonnie's heart tightened at the mention of her deceased father. She didn't remember much of her time with her parents but she knew she still wished they were still here. "You're not alive," Bonnie muttered under her breath even though she knew Kol could hear. "You're dead, through and through."
Kol gritted his teeth as he tried to restrain himself. All he needed was to snap her neck and than once he calmed down he'd regret it. Despite how much he fought with the brunette he still could never bring himself to end her miserable life. Just like he couldn't let his sister end her life many years ago. Someone about the petite, olive skinned girl pulled Kol towards her and the thought of her not living didn't seem right to him. "I believe your stop is here. Do everyone a favor and make sure your friends and you are sleeping by curfew." Kol let go of his iron grip once they ended up in front of the servant door. Kol waited for Bonnie's small head nod before disappearing in a blur of colors.
Bonnie pushed the door open and let it close with a large swing. Matt was already passed out on his bed probably having had a very long and exhausting day while Jeremy was reading a book on his bed. Treasures, like books, were hard to come across and the servants tended to treasure them all very much.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell him no but I was really nervous," Elena said as Bonnie neared her bed. Bonnie made a small hand gesture, shaking it off. Elena was wearing sleeping gown already. They went into the backroom so Elena could help Bonnie out of her corset and ball gown type dress.
"It's fine Elena. Kol would have just compelled you or something like that if you told him no."
Elena bit her lip as she pulled at the lacing in the back. "So it's true? They really are…vampires?" Bonnie nodded. "It's so hard to picture them….eating."
Bonnie snorted, "Is it?" She arched an eyebrow though her new found friend could not see."
"Well for some of them I can imagine but not all." She said vaguely as she pulled on the corset, releasing it from Bonnie's body. The brunette let out a large breath as the other brunette helped her out of the many layers. "Elijah is very kind hearted and he seems like a genuine person." Elena added randomly once Bonnie was slipping her night gown on.
She laughed softly, "That's noble Elijah for you."
"Is it all a trick?" Elena asked with concern in her voice which Bonnie quickly put to end by shaking her head rapidly.
"Elijah is about as genuine you'll get from an immortal vampire. He's not really a fan of the whole killing for survival so if he does feed from humans he leaves them alive but he's trying the whole vegan diet."
"Vegan?" Elena questioned as the girls exited towards their beds, seeing the boys already sleeping. It was five till curfew.
"You know; bunny and bambi." Bonnie said with a small shock and was quiet surprised at Elena's expression of horror.
"That's horrid, Bonnie!"
"Would you rather him be notching on you instead?" She asked as she slipped in.
Elena did the same as it was very close to check up. "Good point."
It was nearly two in the morning or so Bonnie thought. She knew what she was doing was wrong and could get in a lot of trouble (and possibly danger if she was not careful) but Bonnie could not help herself. For someone who usually slept peacefully she couldn't help but be awaked from the terrifying dreams she had that made her body shake and awake covered in sweat in swept with confusion.
Bonnie pushed the thin blanket off her body and stood up. She decided against wearing shoes because she knew the more noise she made the more likely she'd get caught. While she lived in a castle run by mischievous vampires who didn't need to sleep they sure did like to sleep, and they were heavy ones at that.
Bonnie was still wearing the baby pink sleeping gown she put on earlier she came to her elbows and knees. It was a light material and she was glad because she was warm from her nightmare she had had earlier. She was in it but it wasn't the real Bonnie. She was glowing an earthy green while chanting words she had never heard before. Her hand was over a female she could not see the face because it was blurred however she looked lifeless. The whole entire royal family was there yelling and threatening her to stop though there words were muffled as if they were underwater and Bonnie was the one pushing them down deeper and deeper.
It disturbed Bonnie and she needed some fresh air (or as fresh you could get being locked away) and a nice walk. She crossed her arms over her chest as she began to walk down the narrow corridor. The rooms and hallways of the castle were all grand and different in their own way, making it hard to navigate sometimes.
The majority of the time Bonnie felt trapped inside the castle that she was supposed to call her home but in a very odd way her caged life in the grand estate was her home. She had grown used to the cynical and controversy attitudes of the royals and serving and cleaning had become a daily think for her.
She turned the corner of yet another hallway and found herself stop in her step. She arched an eyebrow at the change of color choices and how the ceilings had raised to a large ark instead of the usual rectangle shape. Bonnie had never been to this part of the castle.
Bonnie was unaware that she was also being watched.
Rebekah had been following the brunette closely after seeing her wandering around. Bonnie was known for doing stupid and irrational things and Rebekah, being the tattle she was, wanted to be there so she could rat the human out. Rebekah was never remotely civil with the brunette human and she's always struggled for why Kol insisted on keeping her around. Deep down, though, Rebekah was jealous of the human. She had her whole life set out for her. She could fall in love, marry, start a family – all things that Princess vampire could do no sorts of.
The blonde watched as Bonnie neared a door that she should not even be able to see which striked in interest in her. Certain parts of the castle only supernatural creatures could see and explore and the fact that Bonnie had stumbled to this part of the castle perplexed Rebekah but brought up another worry of her; she could not be fully mortal if she was here, could she?
The brunette gripped the handle of a door getting ready to open it which caught Rebekah's attention. Within half a second Rebekah had asserted herself in front of the girl, making her stumble back. "Isn't it past your bed time?" Rebekah asked with a cock of her head a menacing glare on her face.
Bonnie was in trouble now.
