AN- Thanks you wonderful beautiful for still reading this fic, and reviewing your all awesome ... I tried to fix it.
Chapter- Poison arrows, I need you…
As they made their way into the broken building Klaus shielded her with his body, he made sure her every step aligned with his perfectly.
She gets jumpy in situations like these.
Bonnie trips but the hands that embrace her are Steadfast and strong holding her against a solid form, Klaus kept his face stoic placing her firmly upright.
Bonnie looked at Klaus with a semblance of gratitude, But he looked at her with cold and hard eye's. "Watch your step." He demanded, clearing his throat.
Bonnie brushed herself off, and for a moment there's this awkward silence. she expected him to say more but he doesn't. " Who in their mind lives here?"
"You ask a lot of questions."
"That's because, you keep a lot of secrets."
Klaus stops suddenly and her body collides with his. "Were visiting a friend." Klaus twitched his mouth.
"Lie! you don't have friends, you have people you use." Klaus gave her a scowl, before turning back towards the door with two bird feathers and chicken-bones hanging on each side.
before he can knock, the door swings open. A fire ball comes straight for Klaus and Bonnie's immediate reaction is to stop it, virtually she was shielding herself but Klaus liked to think she was protecting him too.
"Aurora, you know its not nice to try and kill friends." Klaus laughed, 'what is with everybody trying to kill him., clearly he already knows but he lives in a world where he's done nothing to warrant this.
"Your no friend of mines, Devil!" She screeched out.
"Awe, Lets start over, call it ancient history."
"Never."
Klaus and Bonnie stand on opposite sides of the door, as fireballs swirled into the hall; Klaus looked at her he was having a moment, Klaus often finds that his thoughts drift towards her at the worst times. the little things about her, the way she pouts when she's annoyed with him, the way she nibbles on her nails when she's nervous, how she tucks her hair behind her ear when she's thinking hard about something, he often remembers these things pondering them.
yet he still can't figure her out.
"Friends!" Bonnie say's, cynically.
"I may have over exaggerated, the friends part."
"...Ya think" Bonnie says passive-aggressive.
"Take her down." Klaus give's her an order. Bonnie frowns at Klaus. "I can't, she's a witch, I can't." Bonnie shakes her head no.
"Is there some unspoken witch law, that your not allowed to attack each other?"
"I don't know, maybe." Bonnie shrugged frustrated.
Klaus clenched his teeth. "Look, either take her down or she'll kill us both."
"Um, your indestructible. so that just leaves me , I'll leave this one up to you." Bonnie shrug's.
Klaus sighed robust "I was actually, trying not to resort to violence tonight, but I'll snap her neck, if that's more convenient for you."
"You're a manipulative bastard." Bonnie says calmly. Klaus merely smiles at her sporting those dimples, the things she'll do for those she considers innocent,.he finds it amusing watching her, she was striking and noble .
Bonnie put her hand-out chanting; dropping the witch on the other side of the doors to her knees, Klaus walks in first.
"Hello Aurora, we should talk."
Bonnie stepped into the apartment it was something beautiful on the inside compared to the outside, she should get use to things not being what they seemed by now, " Your looking older, since the last time I saw you."
"What do you want, you monster?" Her Russian accent catches Bonnie's ear… "Watch your tongue or rip it out." He scowled at her, his tone strikes fear in her, she no longer thought was there, how wrong she was.
Aurora clutched her hands together, she was missing a finger, Bonnie had no doubt that Klaus had something to do with her missing limb. she swallowed hard for the woman.
"I'm a lot stronger, than you remember."
Klaus laughed in her face. "So brave, but still very, very stupid" Klaus bent closer to Aurora. "And my friend their I guarantee you, she is a lot stronger." He give's her mincing smile. Bonnie thinks Klaus is threatening the poor woman.
Bonnie tapped Klaus on the shoulder nodding him her way. "What?"
"Here's a thought, you should try being nice and less intimidating…she might be more inclined to help you."
Bonnie whispered so that aurora couldn't here. "You think, you can do better?"
Bonnie nods smugly. "Definitely."
Klaus waved his hand for her in aurora's direction. Bonnie passed him standing in front of the old women, who was masking a much younger being underneath.
"Hi, I'm Bonnie, sorry about this."
The old woman spites on the ground scowling at Bonnie. "Okay, your pissed I understand. Its cool, we can shake on it later But-"
"I see your still using witches to do your dirty work for you." Aurora interrupted.
"Well, they do have a weakness for me." Klaus winked at Bonnie.
"Don't flatter yourself." Bonnie cut Klaus a curt look rolling her eyes.
"Don't get it twisted Aurora, me and him strictly business," Bonnie and Klaus stared at each other, they share words unspoken from their lips.
Aurora picks up on something but she isn't sure what.
"Enough of this." Klaus pulls her from the floor roughly, she remembers this all to well, his temper was very wishy-washy neither stronger nor weaker then the other, his nature always conflicted.
"Has he come for it yet?" Klaus helps Aurora into the chair next to her small coffee table. "Why, should I tell you anything?"
Klaus runs a finger down her cheek, a smirk curving on his full lips. " Because you use to love me or because I'll kill you if you don't."
Bonnie leaned against the counter watching his display, she saw the fear in Aurora's eyes, Bonnie had that look, she pretended to be braver than she really was too.
"I can't imagine why, any girl would ever break-up with you." Bonnie says sarcastically, trying to ease some of the terrifying tension in the room.
Klaus gave Bonnie an exhausted look, Turning his attention back to Aurora placing his chill hands on hers; a lioness smirk on his meek lips, separating her clutched fingers.
Aurora purges herself out of fear. "No. he hasn't come for it yet,"
"Give it to me." he asks, his voice a shallow husk.
Aurora shakes her head and Klaus grabs her face. Bonnie jumps in touching Aurora accidentally trying to remove Klaus's grip. Klaus feels Auroras reaction to Bonnie.
"Hey take it easy, okay."
Aurora take's Bonnie's hand suddenly, Bonnie looks confused staring at the old women and back at Klaus.
"What is she doing?"
Klaus shrugs, but he's very intrigued. " You come from the bloodline." Klaus face goes from intrigue to deadpan. "I need you to leave us alone." Klaus tells her.
"Why, what are you going to do?" Sheer worry come's over her face for Aurora.
Klaus doesn't answer, and Bonnie stares Klaus down not budging. Aurora watches this eye smack-down they are giving each other.
'the young witch has a fiery spirit,. Aurora thinks.
"It's alright child, he want hurt me. he needs me," Some part of Aurora wished her words were true. but knowing Klaus like she does, she'll be lucky if he only disfigures her again.
Bonnie cuts Aurora a look, before she departs.
"She must live, its her. she must live,"
"Why are you telling me, I care nothing for her. she is a means to an end." Klaus sighed with callousness turning his back toward the old woman. With his head hung low.
The old women looked annoyed with Klaus's demeanor and disregard for the young woman accompanying him.
only she saw a little deeper into what lay beneath the monster with his cold facade. "Well then, he will succeed and you will fail." Aurora say's, as fact and truth that will come to pass.
Klaus moves at unimaginable speed choking the old women. "What do you know?"
"You must make sure she lives." The old woman barely gasps-out. "Why?" Klaus loosens his grip.
"You know." Aurora looks at the door ominously, where Bonnie stood on the other side.
Klaus moved his head side-to-side looking Aurora up and down placing her back down firmly on her feet.
"Thank you, you've been quite helpful." Klaus smiles sticking his hand throw her chest. the shock on her face as he toyed with her insides ripping her heart out give him such cosmic pleasure; the slower the better that's how he liked it.
before her body fully hits the floor he's at her sink. He washed his hands singing a tune.
Klaus exited the apartment snapping his fingers. "Did she give it, to you?" Bonnie used air-quotes when she says "it" standing upright from her slouching position.
"Of course." he says, with a bright smile.
" Is she alright?"
"She's fine, I left her unharmed, lets go." Klaus nodded her towards the door.
"I don't believe you."
Klaus had this mousy expression. "Would I lie to you?"
"Yes, in a heart beat." How ironic her choice of words, Klaus thought with a wisp chuckle escaping his mouth.
Klaus placed his hand to the small of her back leading her out of the building, Bonnie looks sympathetically back something wasn't right.
He opened the car door waiting for her to get in.
Bonnie turns to face Klaus, he doesn't make a motion to put any space between them. " Go ahead ask, your questions."
"I come from what bloodline? And what the hell does it have to do with you,"
Klaus licked his lips stepping closer , Bonnie wants to put some distance between them, but there isn't much room for that, so she'll suffer his invasion . he smells like Hugo Bass and women's lotion.
Klaus opens his mouth and Bonnie focuses on his lips they were the pink of perfection. She snaps out of her daze to hear his words.
"An ancient bloodline, long thought to be extinct."
"'What's so special about it?"
"It's not just about the bloodline, its about the blood itself, there is something in your blood…it could be dangerous to vampires, dangerous to werewolves etc…"
"What do you mean could be?"
"No one knows for sure, and those who do know, are dead." Klaus rested his elbow on the door.
Bonnie drops her gaze from Klaus having a moment of realization. "This was never about Stefan, you took me so Dmitri couldn't, because you knew, you knew who I was."
"I had my suspicion," Klaus fingers involuntarily play with the tip's of her hair.
"What happens if Dmitri-"
"Realizes who you are, if I know my brother he'll do unimaginable things, to . . . " Klaus trails off, and Bonnie ignored the twisting his fingers did to the ends of her hair. "I guess, that means your going to have work extra hard to protect me!" Bonnie curled her lips teasing him.
"I don't care about you." He state's boldly.
Klaus stood up straightening his broad shoulders; her words deliver a blow to him because for a moment all he can think about is protecting her, his infernal ways makes him want to kill her himself. so he doesn't have to remember what it was like to feel, to know the difference between right and wrong. these are the things she makes him realize about himself, the things he loved most about himself…things she would hate! So he'll kill her! Yes! I'll her.
Klaus is thrown from his thoughts feeling hot flesh against his chill exterior.
"Where to now?" Bonnie repeated."Home." he says, bluntly.
Bonnie looks shocked its almost been two weeks since she's been with Klaus and Mystic falls seems like a distant memory. "Home." She repeat's in disbelief.
"Yes, I'm taking you to my home." Klaus has a genuine smile on his face, she notices it's less sinister and without malicious. he backs away for a moment. "What is it?."
"Be quiet." He look's over they're surrounding.
"What is it?"
Klaus put's his body in front of Bonnie's dropping to his knees, pulling her down with him. after that everything happens to quickly for her to take it all in, she's racing like a bat out hell down the road; with Klaus slouched on his side in the back seat two arrows sticking out of his back. she doesn't return to their motel, she goes someplace remote, so that she can help him.
"Just pull them out." Klaus moans like a wounded puppy when she yanks the arrows out. "What does it look like?" He groans.
"Disgusting, you need blood."
Bonnie searches the car, for the packs of blood that Klaus keeps but there isn't any. "It's all back at the hotel." Klaus grunts.
"Are you kidding me?" Bonnie says, hitting the seat.
Klaus examines the arrows, as he snapped them in his hands, breathing heavily."Poison, its the only kind that can make me sick or kill me."
"If its poison, how do I help you?" Bonnie has a moment of desperation for Klaus.
"I need you, there is something about your blood, it wouldn't effect me, just like my blood wouldn't effect you, like it would a normal person."
"But you should, you didn't know for sure."
"I don't." He states honestly.
"No." She looks perplexed by what he was asking.
Klaus looks at Bonnie with wild eyes. "I need it, I need you." he holds tightly to her shoulders pulling her, even in his condition he was still much stronger then her.
Some part of her wants him to die, but the other part knows that he'll get what he needs from her one way or another.
Bonnie lambasted herself for what she about to allow. She pulled her shirt out of the way exposing such an exquisite neck, Klaus eyes flash between his normal sparkling blues to that tawny gold, he looks disoriented. " I should tell you, I killed her."
"I know." She say's sadly.
His lips brush against her skin, smothering her carotid artery his fangs scratch the surface ripping the flesh, at first it stings then, the burning starts, it hurts. and she remembers she's had this feeling before only this is slower and feels intimate he cuffs his arms underneath hers; he held her like a lover, he bit and kissed and bit to cover the kissing.
there was some serious simmering heat boiling underneath between them.
She pushed him to stop. Which he does. Klaus looks passive staring at her, loosing consciousness his head falling in her lap.
"Klaus."
It's been an hour and he's still out of it. Bonnie watches him, she liked him like this, he was child-like, he looked so innocent asleep, funny thing is, this was the first time she saw him sleep since they've been together. she could do it, right now, kill him! Do it! He shivers and the thought is gone.
Klaus tosses and turns he seems so helpless, Bonnie wraps her petite arms around him. she held Klaus close to her beating heart, which seems to calm him.
it's like second nature when she caresses his hair in a loving manner. Klaus feels her, he knows somehow that he's safe, a feeling that hasn't been known to him for years.
lust and rage is a hungry beast inside him, he's felt these things before but never so strong, he would like to stop it; but you can't change the things you can't control, Klaus imagines running his hands through those soft brownish curls, he wants to feel her flesh underneath the fabric of clothes, Klaus touches her and she doesn't flinch or look disgusted, he kisses her and she gives in.
but than something startling happens he wakes up…
In the middle of nowhere….
"So my brother got away?" Dmitri asks his voice like raspy grovel.
The young vampire looks afraid. "Yes, I'm sorry, he had help! there was a girl."
"Tell me about this girl. . ."
"She was young, she was a witch, but she was very strong," The young vampire wants to say more.
"Is there something else?" Dmitri asks, impatient.
"He protected her, like she was important to him, I tried to kill them both the poisoned arrow for him and a regular one for her, he took them both."
Dmitri looks prig at the young vampire, showing no emotion to his failure or the information, "You can go."
Dmitri exhales entering the adjacent room next to the one he's in. "You didn't tell me, Klaus had a witch with him."
The vampire strapped to the chair just looks doggish at him, his eyes hardened a dead stare. "I didn't know."
Dmitri grabs his frowned face. "You wouldn't lie to me would you Stefan, to protect Klaus,"
Stefan yanks his head away, "Screw him, and screw you." Stefan retorts gruffly, with a growl.
Dmitri blissfully laughs, "I have a surprise for you, come here."
Stefan features remain blank with the arrival of this person…. "Impossible."
"I think the term your, looking for is OMFG…"
The gang will be back next chapter, but I had to bring Stefan into play finally…
