Chapter- Open roads and turning the tide
Jeremy barged through the doors of the Salvatore boarding house, Elena and Damon looked surprisingly guilty putting considerable space between them. but Jeremy hadn't bothered to notice their was a demeanor or shift change in the room as he entered pulling his eye's away from his cell phone.
"Hey,Elena have you heard From Bonnie? she's not answering or texting me back." Jeremy look's like a gullible kid who's lost his favorite G.I. Joe.
"She text-ed me last night, but I haven't heard from her since, why?" Elena answer's and Question's seeing the obvious fear on her little brother's face that something could actually be wrong with Bonnie.
"Because Elena, I haven't heard from her and I went by her place and her dad said she was at our house, only she's not." Jeremy said with a dry sarcasm.
"Calm down, we don't know anything's wrong." Elena tries to reassure him making sure Jeremy's mind doesn't go to that dark place where everybody he love's dies and leave's him.
"No. I Want calm down Elena, because what if she's with Klaus, I thought the plan was to lure him here . . . What if he has his own plans that involve Bonnie, and she's off with him right now." Jeremy says disdainfully, he hated that she had to be the one to deal with Klaus.
Elena went to stand in front of Jeremy putting a consoling hand on his forearm. " Bonnie wouldn't do that, go off with Klaus! without telling us."
Jeremy pulls away. "Don't be so naive Elena, Bonnie would definitely go with Klaus, if it meant protecting us." Jeremy flopped down on the leather couch making a heavy dull sound echo through the room.
Elena looks at Damon her eyes shifting with worry now, Bonnie would do anything for the ones she loves. "What do you think, Damon. Do you think Klaus came here?"
Damon shrugs indifferent " I think baby bro, is freaking out because all of his girlfriends have this nasty habit of dying." Damon poured himself a shot of whiskey drinking it with a smirk.
"You think that's funny" This tremendous anger rushes through Jeremy at Damon's remark, because Damon is the reason one of those girlfriends died in the first place.
Jeremy takes a defensive stance and Damon doesn't feel threatened but Jeremy feels in this moment like he could rip Damon to pieces, like he was the lion and Damon was the lamb.
"Jeremy, look at me, how was her dad?" it takes Jeremy a minute to pull his attention away from Damon.
"Not his usual self - - I don't know." Jeremy scratches his neck.
Jeremy shrugs exhaling sharply sitting back down, Elena pulled her phone out still looking at Jeremy. "Like he was compelled or something… Oh my god Damon, what if Klaus came here and took her. but why wouldn't Klaus come after all of us if he knew what we were planning. why just go after Bonnie?" Elena tries to hide her fear but the panic is visible on those peanut browns and it's sprung across her brow; she keeps pressing Redial and all she hears is Bonnie's voice mail.
"Hold on. lets not jump to conclusions here, besides Bonnie knew the risks going in, it was her idea in the first place-" Damon quipped with a twitch of his brows. "That doesn't mean we shouldn't worry about her either, she's doing this for us and Stefan, because we begged her too." Elena interrupted she looked actually disgusted for once with Damon's blatant disregard for Bonnie's life, the girl she happens to love like a sister.
Jeremy and Elena look at each other intensely both thinking the same thing. . . , "Lets go."
"Where?"
"I don't know, but I'm not going to just sit here not knowing where she is." Jeremy whines.
"You both can't just go off by yourselves." Damon steps in front of Elena. "then come with us, because without Bonnie or Klaus were no closer to finding Stefan." Damon side-stepped so that Elena and Jeremy could pass as he follows behind them….
Three miles away from Mystic falls, Klaus drove and Bonnie sat there in the front seat brainstorming about what Klaus was really up too, "How the hell did he know what they were planning?" Bonnie chewed on her nails she did it out of habit whenever she was nervous or thinking to hard and Klaus didn't like it one bit. "Don't bite your nails, it's a disgusting habit."
Bonnie cuts a sharp look to Klaus, rolling her calming green pearls. "Hey, I don't tell you not to kill people because that's a disgusting habit, so don't tell me what to do." Bonnie shoot's back feisty as ever.
She looked back out the window there was nothing but darkness and more darkness for miles she wondered where the hell they were headed, looking up at the sky it was bright and filled with stars its been awhile since she's actually managed to take a breathe and look at them, the sky was beautiful the colors were a magnificent symmetry of gray and black …and she thanked God it wasn't a full moon.
Bonnie quickly glanced at Klaus shaking her head thinking about this blue-eyed blond haired devil next to her; at first glance Klaus is quite striking, she yawned at the thought yet they didn't stop, she looked bored and curious as she glanced at Klaus from her peripheral some more, he was damned arrogant and smug a blank page one moment calm and collected and than he's so bustle with a easily shaken temperament, rash and uncontrollable, she guessed it had to do with his conflicting nature… Bonnie turned her head yet again to look out the window.
Klaus would steal looks at her as well with every look she gave him, he gave her, he dissected her with his eyes when her attention was else where, she had the liveliest Green eyes he had ever seen, she was stubborn, clever and nerve racking and she was half as sneaky as himself. . . He knew she was plotting against him this whole time, she'll try to kill him on more then one occasion he knows this for sure.
The wind blew through her soft curls the air crisp dancing on her scalp and she felt this rumble in her stomach, she probably should have taken Klaus up on his offer to eat in the town of Brisk wick which was 2.5 miles away from Mystic Falls, Bonnie pulled her arm into the car shifting her body so that she's facing Klaus slightly.
"I'm hungry." Bonnie twisted a finger through her hair innocently.
"I told you, to eat something at the diner." Klaus said agitated.
"Well, I wasn't hungry then, but I'm hungry now." She whined like a child.
"That's just two damn bad."
"I thought you wanted me to keep my strength up."
Klaus inhaled sharply. " Were not stopping."
"Were gonna have to, who knows, I might be to weak to do whatever it is ,you need me for." Bonnie hunched her shoulders.
Klaus took his eyes off the road and wheel looking directly at her, his eyes sauntered down her face and body, " Or I could just snap your neck, and leave you on the side of the road for the coyotes'."
Bonnie leaned in closer, all this raw energy and tension was breathed to life as they mocked and challenged each other. " Oh, I love it when you talk dirty to me, but I'm Still hungry." She says impudent.
Even with the car veering off the road neither one looked away from the other, Klaus smirked quickly grabbing her jaws pulling her close the intensity in his eyes, it was hard for Bonnie to look away. Klaus smelled her "I can smell the fear on you, so it would be wise not to push me."
Klaus is quickly back in form driving the car, and Bonnie is surprised yet again that no bodily harm has come to her by Klaus, Bonnie finally lets her self breath, Klaus was confusing she was sure that she'd be dead by now… but nope she's still kicking.
"I've given you plenty of chances to hurt me, why haven't you?" She was fascinated about his possible answer.
Klaus scoffs. "You think because I haven't killed you yet, it means something, It doesn't, I could Kiss you or Kill you, and It'd all mean the same to me." His words Are cold and his face remained expressionless, no emotion what's so ever.
Bonnie turns away from Klaus, this eerie feeling shuttered down her spine.
About thirty-minutes of no speaking , they pull up to some wholesome little diner.
It was pink and white very floral, quaint! Bonnie smiled for the first time since she started this journey, she liked little old-fashioned things, Inside they headed for the table in the middle of the diner.
Klaus pulls out the chair for Bonnie, she gives him a suspicious look before sitting. " I guess you do need me after all."
This older women with blond-hair with streaks of `gray appears before Klaus can respond, he just curls his lips aligning his head with hers narrowing his eyes at Bonnie, who keeps her eyes on the menu.
"How can I help you?"
Bonnie looked at her name-tag. " Yes, I would like, a double cheese burger and fires, with a Pepsi thank you." She gives the women a warm smile.
"And you sir-"
"What he likes isn't on the menu." Bonnie interjects wittingly. Klaus slams fist on the table,"You can go now." Klaus shoos the waitress away.
"One more smart comment and I'll kill everyone here, including you." Klaus smiles his lips smeared with glee he hasn't really killed anybody since they've been together.
Bonnie looked around at the seven customers and the waitress who's name was Jane who headed back to the cook. " That's a bit melodramatic, don't you think?"
"If it shuts you up, its perfect." Klaus shrugs, she was getting under his skin- and he didn't even realize it fully yet. But he knew for sure about her was that she was compassionate and conscientious of other people's lives which Klaus knows he can easily manipulate.
Klaus had stepped away from the table and when he returns; Bonnie's burger is half way demolished. He sits back down. Bonnie bit into her fry. "So… why do you really need me with you, I get this feeling that your not telling me the whole story."
Klaus parted his pink plush lips this smile of self impotence corners every embodiment of his face, has he Interlocked his fingers." Stefan, isn't the only monster I created, " Klaus raised his brow. Bonnie looks thoroughly surprised. "What does that mean?"
"I created a more then one monster." he taps the table. "And let me guess, they're trying to kill you."
Klaus face goes blank once more. " Finish, we don't have a lot of time." He get's up and leaves her sitting there.
Back in the car and when they stop it's at some worn-down looking building it didn't particularly look safe to Bonnie,. . . " Uh! Is this the last place you saw Stefan?" Bonnie whispers.
"Sort of and why are you whispering?" Klaus seems amused.
"Uh! Because this place is creepy and what do you mean sort of?" Bonnie keeps checking behind her, she doesn't know what the hell to expect.
"This is actually a werewolf spot, they don't particularly like visitors."
"Well your part them, so I assume were safe right?"
Klaus just shakes his head 'NO, smiling.
"Stay close to me." Klaus holds his head out for her to grab.
"Do, I have too?" Bonnie whined like a petulant child. Klaus looked at her stoic. "Well if you rather be eaten by multiple werewolves, then by all means keep your distance." He mocked her.
"it isn't a full moon tonight." Bonnie gazed at the sky, to make sure she wasn't tripping because clearly she did not see a crest moon.
"And I didn't say they were regular wolves." Klaus tilts his head cocky at her, proud of his creations. " Are you saying you and them can change at will," Bonnie wants to strangle him.
"Pretty cool, huh?"
"Not really." Bonnie shakes her head. . . Thinking this over.
"How many wolves we talking' 5, 10 more...less" she was weighing her options. Klaus doesn't answer.
" I guess Stefan didn't halt your plans that much," Bonnie said sarcastically. "Well?" he keeps his hand out. Bonnie nearly gags. " Alright, give me a minute." Bonnie shook the nerves off.
Klaus squinted growing impatient. "Give me your hand." she rolls her eyes. Bonnie sinks her fingers with his. "Lets get this over with."
"There's just one thing, I forgot to do."
"What?" Bonnie turns around to face him.
Klaus bites into his wrist shoving it in her mouth making her drink a significant amount.
Bonnie dug her nails into his flash drawing blood Bonnie tried to pull away fighting but Klaus held the back of her head forcing her to drink, Bonnie drops to her knees spiting up his blood.
"Son of bitch, why did you do that?" Bonnie's face sours in distaste.
"Just encase." He shrugs nonchalant. like he didn't just mouth rape her with his blood.
Bonnie fumes, Klaus clinches the sides of head in pain, Bonnie says something incoherent in Latin waving her hand throwing him 20 feet away from her…
Klaus flashes in front of her on his knees, his hand swift and firm over her mouth. Damn he was fast. He slides his finger-down, "Shh… trust me." He whispers.
"I rather not." Bonnie whisper back. "Klaus is that you?" A shaky voice calls out.
"Yes." Klaus stands, bringing Bonnie to her feet as well. The man comes closer, Bonnie inspected the man his pupils were gold and his whites are clouded a blood shot red, he trembled and fumed at the mouth at the site of her, that made Bonnie particularly nervous. "Did you bring her for us?" he asked shyly, yet giddy.
"Of course."
Bonnie looks at Klaus her face could be characterized has great haste and surprise. "So, much for trusting you." Bonnie quipped angrily.
Klaus gives Bonnie the side-eye.
"But, Before you can have her, you have to tell me where he is, where is he?" Klaus glanced back at Bonnie, then at his trembling friend an obvious creation gone wrong.
"I don't know, I don't know where he is…" the guy stepped closer, he sniffed the air it was full of her scent, lavender and flesh. . . "I know you, know something."
"No! I don't know nothing."
Klaus shrugs gesturing to walk away. " Well, then you can't have her."
"Wait, wait, wait, inside. . ." He pointed to the building. "Inside." Klaus repeated, the man simply nods.
Klaus looked at the broken down warehouse suspicion arousing. "Are you sure we can have her?"
"She is human, her life means nothing." Klaus shrugs his shoulders indifferently at Bonnie, pulling her close one last time. " Here." Klaus shoves Bonnie into the guys arms. He runs his face up against her happily. . . Bonnie pulls away disgusted. "I'm gonna kill you."
"Yeah, yeah, how's that been working out so far." Klaus responses sarcastically smug. "Bastard." Bonnie struggles to free herself.
Heading inside, less then five minutes later all hell breaks loose, and Bonnie comes busting through the door heading for the car she turns seeing some twisted werevamp charging for her, Bonnie throws her hands out throwing him back, but right behind him is another one, she falls backwards banging her head against the car as Klaus rips yet it's heart from the chest cavity…
Bonnie tries to catch her breathe. "Thanks for taking your sweet time." she says sarcastically, before passing out.
Klaus looked at her momentarily brushing the hair from her face, Placing one of his hands at the small of her back throwing her left arm around his neck, pressing her delicate frame close to his unyielding one, Klaus gazed at the unconscious girl in his arms, there was something threatening to surface in Klaus and it made him sick to his stomach, as he held her in his arms….. he looked disgusted and intrigued... as she lay unconscious all things Klaus flashed in her head...
