Chapter 2: Bonnie the Original
"Hey it's Bonnie; I can't come to the phone right now. Leave a message after the beep and I will get back to you."
Beep
"Hey Bonnie, it's Elena again. Um, where are you? I have been trying to call you for the past week. Please call me right when you get this."
Elena threw the phone on her bed and sighed. Bonnie had disappeared suddenly after the ghosts had vanished and Elena was worried for her friend. Things where not looking up in the past couple days. Stefan was still off the rails, and Klaus was threatening her friends and family. In all that was happening Elena needed Bonnie. She needed her best friend through all the crap. She had Caroline, but it was times like these when she could use some time without any vampires. With Bonnie M.I.A and Stefan gone Elena only had Damon to keep her company. Damon probably wasn't the best company to be around, but they were both hurting. Elena picked up her phone off the bed and dialed Caroline's number. She was in need of someone to talk to, and if Bonnie wasn't around Caroline was the next best thing.
"I feel like I'm going crazy," Elena told Caroline later at the Grille. After she had called Caroline the two had agreed to meet up at the Grille for coffee. "I am totally paranoid all the time."
"You have a right to be," Caroline said, "Klaus is still out there. He knows you tried to kill him."
"Why hasn't he made a move?" Elena uttered, moving her hand out in frustration, "There has been no sign of him; nothing. It's just my slow spiral into insanity." Caroline gave her a small smile.
"Hey, it's okay. We are all feeling this way. I am so close to exploding right know. I mean I can't trust my own boyfriend." Elena looked at her friend with sympathy and sipped her coffee.
"I'm sorry about Tyler. Once we figure out a way to kill Klaus or destroy the sire bond you can get your boyfriend back." Caroline smiled.
"Hey speaking of boyfriends; has there been any sign of Stefan?"
Elena shook her head. "He betrayed us, Care. The Stefan we know is gone." Caroline's eyes saddened. Elena knew that Stefan and Caroline were close. Stefan helped her though her transition, so Elena knew that Caroline would do whatever it took to get the old Stefan back.
"How's Damon handling it?" Caroline asked.
"Damon is Damon," Elena said looking over at Damon drinking at the bar. Damon was handling Stefan's betrayal the way he always handled things by drinking and being reckless.
Elena turned back to her friend and took a few more sips of coffee before asking, "Hey have you heard from Bonnie lately?"
Caroline shook her head, "I haven't been able to get a hold of her ever since she destroyed the necklace to banish the ghosts." Elena nodded disappointed and stared in to her mug. Caroline noticed her disappointment and gave her a reassuring smile.
"She is probably fine. She is probably visiting her dad or something. Look at everything that's happening around us, Bonnie's been through a lot. She deserves a break."
"Yeah you're probably right. I'm just worried she hasn't answered her phone in days."
"She probably has a reason. I mean that girl just got her heartbroken by your brother," Caroline said, "Right now you are the last person besides Jeremy that she would want to talk to." Even though it was painful to admit, Elena knew that it was true.
Bonnie and Jeremy's relationship ended on a bad note and Elena feared that Jeremy may be going back into his slump. As she took another sip of coffee, Elena pondered on the life that she and Jeremy had. They had lost so many people in their lives that it was hard to keep track of who was alive. Jeremy was a fragile person and the breakup with Bonnie was for the worst.
"I know. It's just I worry for her. She's been though a lot lately." Caroline nodded in agreement, but didn't say more on the subject.
The girls quickly finished their coffee and chatted about things non-supernatural related things. Caroline's phone beeped interrupting their conversation on their Chem homework. Caroline excused herself saying her mother wanted to have lunch with her and exited the Grille leaving Elena alone.
"Elena, we need to talk." Elena turned to Alaric and by the look on his face she could tell whatever he was going to tell her wasn't good. Elena nodded for him to sit down and Alaric took the seat where Caroline previously sat.
"Its about Jeremy."
Caroline trekked through the grassy field that led up to the old witch house. When Stefan had texted her to meet him there saying it was an emergency, she couldn't resist. Stefan was her friend, he helped her through her darkest times and now she wanted to help him through his. She pushed down the guilt of lying to Elena and focused on helping Stefan instead.
It took her sometime to get through the vampire proofing rays of sunlight, but she eventually made it down to the basement. The basement was empty. There was no Stefan, only shelves stored with jars of herbs and strange looking liquids. Caroline took a step forward hoping to go further into the basement in hopes of finding Stefan but her foot caught on something heaving. She looked down and her breath got caught in her throat. Their lying on the ground was the body of her friend Bonnie Bennett and by the looks of it she wasn't breathing.
"Bonnie!" she screamed and slumped down next to her friend letting out a sob.
"Oh don't worry she's fine," a cold detached voice came from the shadows.
"What did you do to her?" Caroline spat at Stefan. A million thoughts raced in her head. Did he turn her? Is this why Bonnie was missing? Why would Stefan be so cruel?
"Relax, I didn't turn her if that's what you think. Someone else did that."
"What do you mean?"
Stefan took a step forward, picked Bonnie up, and placed her on a dusty old couch in the corner of the room.
"Look I know as much as you do. I needed Bonnie's help to cast a spell for a little Klaus Revenge plan, but she showed up as a vampire."
"But that doesn't make any sense and that doesn't explain why she is dead on the floor."
"She attacked me and it looked like she was trying to compel me, so I snapped her neck."
Caroline looked down at her best friend on the couch and then to Stefan with a confused look.
"What? Why would she do that?"
Stefan shook his head, "I have no idea, but you can ask her." Caroline followed his eyes down to Bonnie who was slightly stirring.
Bonnie groaned in pain rubbing her soar neck. Anger ran through her has the image of Stefan snapping her neck flashed into her mind. She tried to move forward but chains on both of her wrists coming down from the ceiling seemed to have her restricted to the couch. Blinking rapidly, adjusting to the light she say the figures of the Ripper and the annoying blonde bombshell.
"Well, well this is quite a wake up party," Bonnie drawled.
"You sound different," Caroline said noting the change in her accent that Bonnie didn't care to hide. "You look different too. Older," Caroline added.
"Great observation Caroline," Bonnie said sarcastically. Caroline flinched, startled at her friends rude behavior. Stefan however inched forward and studied Bonnie.
"What are you, Bonnie?"
"Excuse me?" Bonnie's eyebrows furrowed in confusion at the ripper's question.
"Well I know what you are, but this doesn't make sense. I ask for the help of Bonnie the witch, but I got Bonnie the vampire instead. Then you demand for the coffins I stole from Klaus, attack me and try to compel me, which also doesn't make sense because I am a vampire, too. The only vampires who can are the originals, which you certainly are not. And Besides I'm on Vervain." Bonnie raised an eyebrow at Stefan.
"Fine," she said, "you want answers? I'll answer anything you throw at me truthfully, but it's going to cost you." Stefan frowned.
"What do you want?"
"The coffins. And all of them." Stefan opened his mouth to answer her but Caroline quickly cut him off.
"Wait what coffins do you guys keep talking about. Are you guys part of a morbid cult or something?"
"Shut Up Caroline!" Bonnie yelled making Caroline flinch. "What are you doing here anyways? You seem to know nothing." Hurt by Bonnie's words, Caroline looked at Stefan for support but he just shrugged.
"I need to speak with Bonnie alone," Stefan said looking blankly at Caroline, "go wait outside, I'll call you if I need anything." Still hurt by Bonnie's words, Caroline nodded and turned to make her leave.
When she left, Stefan turned back to Bonnie.
"Why do you want the Coffins?" Stefan asked continuing their conversation before Caroline interrupted.
"Now, now Mr. Salvatore. As I said I'm not answering questions till I get what I want," Bonnie sneered.
"Well I don't have them on me." Bonnie shook her head.
"I know you're lying Mr. Salvatore. I can sense the ancestral magic hiding something grand." Bonnie waved her chained hand trumping the ancestral magic revealing six coffins.
"Where is the last one?" Bonnie spun around to face a puzzled Stefan.
"I thought you were a vampire now?"
"Where is the last Coffin?" she repeated venomously.
"How can you do magic? You're a vampire."
"WHERE IS THE LAST COFFIN?" Bonnie roared.
Stefan stepped back at his former friend. He was about to mutter something when the coffins suddenly disappeared and Caroline came running in.
"Elena's here with Damon," she exclaimed breathlessly.
"What?" Stefan said.
"I think they somehow followed me. She seems pretty upset, though. I don't think to see her right now," she said pointing at Bonnie.
"Did you try getting rid of her?" Bonnie said annoyed once more with the baby vampire that she interrupted her from getting the coffins back. Caroline glared at Bonnie and Bonnie glared back.
"Caroline take Bonnie in that room over there," Stefan said trying to stall Bonnie from getting back the coffins, "I will talk with Elena." Stefan took off the Chains from the ceiling that were attached to Bonnie, handed them to Caroline who guided Bonnie in the extra room and shut the door behind them.
Caroline hated the tension that was radiating between here and Bonnie while they were standing in the other room as Elena was trying to speak some sense into Stefan, which was apparently failing.
Caroline missed the old Bonnie, the one that would laugh at her jokes, make her smile, be the good friend that but everyone before her, but this Bonnie was different. This one was cold, irritable, a vampire. She watched Bonnie as Elena exasperated to Stefan about how Jeremy was almost killed by Klaus. The real Bonnie would show worry on her face for her ex-boyfriend, but not this Bonnie. No, this Bonnie's face was blank. There was absolutely no emotion in her face. No worry at all.
After Elena was gone she was replaced by an angry Damon, who attacked Stefan, clearly still hurt by his brother's betrayal. Caroline looked at Bonnie again. The dark vampire looked bored and annoyed by the fighting, and frankly Caroline was too. Tugging on the chains, she and Bonnie left the room and joined the two fighting brothers.
After two more exhausting minutes of what seemed like endless fighting, Damon had noticed the two girls and more importantly he noticed the chains that were bound on Bonnie's wrist.
"Judgy?" he said frowning, "What is going on?"
"That's what I would like to know?" Stefan said coming up behind his brother, the cuts on his face healing.
Bonnie huffed. She had enough of this all she wanted was her family, her children, and her Husband.
"Fine," she said, "Long story short; The spell that was suppose to vanquished the ghosts sent me back in time to Mystic Falls before there were vampires."
Nobody moved. Bonnie looked between the shocked faces of the three of them and couldn't decide whose looked funnier. This went on for sometime until Caroline broke the silence.
"Wait, so that means you're…you're a…"
"Yes, darling, I'm an Original."
So... what do you think? Let me know and review and Favorite.
