Chapter 1: Bye Bye, Bitches.

That morning, I got up.

I was disheveled, and I had a dirty head, which made me smile weakly, looking at me in the mirror. But something had changed.

I was no longer this girl from yesterday, all night I had turned me into a new version of myself. Stronger, crueler, darker. Well, badass.

"- And the beast wakes up ... I whispered.

I looked at the time. It was 7:50. Perfect.

I drew the curtains, and saw the sun on the horizon. So beautiful. The amber color that stretched from one side of the sky in streaks of powder. Or scarlet, like blood. That undoubtedly, I would spit.

My door rang. I sighed, tearing me from the contemplation of the miracle of nature, and opened the window. I recognized his black clothes. He could have been a mortician, because of the huge number of people he sent to the morgue. My enemy.

Damon Salvatore.

"- Invite me in, he hissed in his ridiculously attractive voice.

I smiled to myself, congratulating me for my conscience. Never having him as guest in my house, it is a force that even without my powers I continued to have on him. My home, my fortress.

"- Stay there, I replied.

I wore a black sweatshirt over my pajamas and went out of my bedside table, a sprig of verveine that I was hiding in my front pocket. I would speak with the devil, so I should be weaponized.

I went down the stairs, and arrived at my door. I inspired a big gulp of air and exhaled slowly. Let the game began.

"- Damon, I was welcoming him, with a fake smile.

- Witchy.

- What do you want?

- You, throwing a glance at Witchypedia. The little brother has done his mess. Turns out, he wants to kill his sister with a similar way as a werewolf facing bone.

I looked at him without any understanding, and a big tip of nervousness came to gnaw my stomach. Of course. He wanted my help. For her. Elena. I felt my fist shaking while Damon took for concern.

"- Don't worry Bonnie, we deal with it.

- I doubt it, what's going on specifically with Jeremy? Can you give me more details?

Damon then, spent ten minutes to explain the events that I had missed, locked in my room. Jeremy was the new heir to a sort of brotherhood hunter: the Five and had a tattoo on his skin that more developed, the more he kills vampires. The tattoo that was a map showing the location of a ... cure.

I froze at the mention of this remedy, but Damon was quite serious. I grinned internally against the damn original witch who apparently had more than one trick up her sleeve.

"- That's ... Damon, it's great! I forced myself.

- Yes, Elena who regains his humanity nanana, Can you now look in your spellbook, I have better things to do if you know what I mean?

The urge to vomit was screaming louder and smiling cynically, I disappeared into my room and came back with the grimoire.

"- There are no more than what you said, but the map is not enough. The cure is protected by powerful spells and only the Five Hunters can retrieve them. The map is only an indication. The real work begins with the full map; When Jeremy... I will take care of him.

Damon looked at me a moment to measure my expression, and seemed satisfied with what he had seen. He decided to leave. I watched him from the back, crossing my arms. That one. Will be the first to get burned.

"- Where are you, Bonnie?

- I went running, it's been a while since I have done any sport. You know, the loss of my powers is not necessarily bad. I can concentrate more on myself.

Caroline sighed on the phone while I left home dressed in a simple sport outfit.

"- Run when there are hybrids in the corner. Bonnie really?

- Klaus don't need me. No more power, no more radar.

"And the radar Stefan and Damon is shrinking too ... I thought. "

- What about Elena?

- ... I'm not in the mood, Caroline.

- Bonnie, Elena's your best friend from ever, you ...

I hung up before she ended and I turned off my phone. I imagined the anger Caroline upset but curiously, far from making me sorry, this act made me laugh. As expected, I have nothing really to do with them anymore.

The forest.

When Grams had introduced me to Magic for the first time, I was twelve. She took me to the forest and we sat in the middle of the clearing. We were cross-legged, eyes closed feeling the connection to nature, to the depths of our guts; hands raised to wind, and power grew and roared.

I thought it was a game, my grandmother promised to train me well, years later.

Later, one hundred witches gave me power and I have betrayed them.

But today I had to do penitence, to the great force of nature.

I entered the old building and went step by step in the basement or screaming and begging percent of my sisters.

This was not so dark room enlightened than piping sunlight, and walls full of soot had not changed since the last time.

I sat on the floor, unattached my hair fell back and my crossed my legs. I brought my hands over my lips, crossed obtaining a praying.

Now, I had to wait.

Three hours had passed and I still did not move. The sun had continued his run in the sky and I waited for a sign.

I wanted to show proof of my determination, so I did not care to feel pain, to have cramps. I would show them these degenerate witches.

Seven hours!

Seven hours, I waited patiently, without drink, without food, without moving for their beautiful eyes! Seven hours, I was waiting in the cold basement for them. Please talk to me!

I'm tired! I got it! I know I screwed up, but you took my mother, my grandmother and cursed my family for generations, I do not think witches besides Bennett were a bummer as great as yours!

"- And you took my powers I screamed, venting my temper.

I got up from the dusty ground and waving my arms like an idiot. I was both frustrated but also terribly ... .well! I felt so free. I have never been so angry, too touchy, too ... myself.

Who would believe that such a course of vengeance would be so changed me and fulfilled? A lump came up from my stomach to my throat and out of my mouth to turn into a bubble of laughter. I burst out laughing, and finally let me win the hilarity.

I laughed so much that I lost my balance and fell to the ground lying on her back. All this frustration, anger spent. In this laugh that laugh that would become my engine. I was doing the oath.

"- I, I whispered with a smile. I don't care about vampires, hybrids, Elena, everyone. I would live for me, and I will continue my work. And I promise to take revenge, and stop this ridiculous farce. Left them to die.

The silence was still there. No answer.

I got up with a sigh, and cleaned up my clothes.

"- I do not need power for that. I would manage without.

- Are you sure that you can, Bennett?

I turned toward the voice which I recognized immediately, and googly eyes, I saw the hand of the original witch, Esther, approach me to stroke my face.

"- Esther Mikaelson.

- Bonnie Bennett.

It was not her who had pronounced my name but others clearly present around me. Other witches, and other souls.

Previously, I would have been scared to death, once I'd run away, would have asked for help.

But not anymore.

"- We have heard you, and observed. Looks like you found the real "you".

Emily Bennet, dressed in her clothes dating from before secession. It was majestic. The other witches left her passed me, surrounded by Esther and Ayanna, the first Bennett.

Ayanna spoke:

"- You're a real Bennet, and we are so sorry to have to send off Sheila. But where she is, she is at peace.

- We all know Bonnie. Your anxieties, your fears, your anger, your hatred. Everything Emily continued

- You went further than any witch Esther.

- Further? I threw bravely.

- Further replied a young witch with long blond hair.

- Your power is so great that you can not imagine. Within you, centuries of research, centuries of power, and even we can not remove you, took Ayanna.

I watched confused all the witches faces around me.

"- Protect Elena Gilbert, Elena Gilbert safe, it's so stupid, and you became aware of it.

- And how ...

- The fate of Elena is starting wars between brothers and cataclysms in the balance of nature. I am responsible and I apologize, but you had inherited power that can undo this curse Esther smiled.

- You're a Bennett said Ayanna, smiling tenderly, the only family of witches who is not tainted by the curse of the night, the only family that bears his hands the power of the white and natural magic. The only one who can restore balance.

- You have suffered so many times Bonnie said Emily, taking my hand, and I'm sorry, but nothing can change it, because every pain you felt is needed to help you understand the magnitude of your task.

- You want revenge, and we agree, but you have to give up everything. Love, friendship, and your true power will rise. you'll have to go look at the source.

- The blood of Bennett said all witches share one voice.

I could not speak, my brain running a hundred miles an hour. I might be afraid, but the witches had recognized me. I was ready, determined to make a difference.

"- What do you mean ?

- It's easy Bonnie. You'll die.

I backed out but the souls were around me. Suddenly, I was choking.

"- Metaphorically, I hope? I swallowed

Esther and Ayanna looked at themselves then asked with a nod to Emily to speak. The blonde witch who had spoken two words just before walked up to me and smiled.

"- Bonnie, we just cut you a link to magic, but already around you. However, to awaken your full potential, you must go in search of three keys. First, you have already in your possession, it is your family's grimoire, the link from the old to the new generations. The second key is a key from blood, which has the only link you have left on this earth. The only link to the Bennett family. And finally the last one is a mystery.

- A mystery?

- Yes, the mystery of magic. Understand the magic and accept his vilest, as its purest forms, is having its power Emily continued. When you have understood this. You can meet the source. It's hidden away, where all the lines of witches begin and end all. A Telluric node.

- Salem I murmures to myself. But what about my death ...?

- Magic is powerful.

I turned my head and found the pale face of the young witch.

- The magic is powerful, but to understand the mechanisms and hear its voice, and energy, it needs to be completely melted. When you find the Sanctuary. You will have to die, with three keys. You will have to give up everything you were and accept your fate. Bennett is one of the three lines that received the blessing of the power source. As a direct descendant, you are the most likely to receive the Source. You will die Bonnie Bennett but to see the new you.

She held my hand and I touched. It was freezing cold.

- Above all, do not sink into the darkness.

The witches disappear one by one.

"- Hold on! I kept them, would I have enough power to destroy vampires, Salvatore and Originals?

- Much more than you cannot imagine, Emily whispered.

All were gone, leaving only the young witch, who had finished my explanation.

"- What's your name, I asked her before she disappeared at her turn.

She smiled.

- Cassie. Cassie Blackwell.

"- What do you mean you're leaving?

Caroline saw me load my suitcase in my car, and two gerikans of gasoline. I really did not want to stop on the road to New York. I took out from my pocket the letter of Lucy and gave it to Caroline while I finished loading my stuff.

"- A letter?

- My distant cousin Lucy. Remember, she was used by Katherine. She managed to hide, and I hope to find her before that psy ... well, you understood me.

"- I almost faileds, I bit my lip. Caroline had to stay aware of my good intentions and my personality nice girl.

- She lives in Brooklyn I explained to hier, slamming the trunk. I received this letter, A few months ago. There are about 600 km between Mystic Falls and NYC. I have to go faster, the sooner I'd arrived.

- And you think, it can make you gained back your powers?

- There's a good chance. She's a Bennett, she can talk to the spirits and convince them. I count on it to get my powers.

The lie that I had contracted was perfect. By Caroline believe that I could hear the spirits, and that I needed to recover my peers. Tell her goodbye Lucy was the only family I had left, was the icing on the cake. Work on the heartstrings, which Caroline with no father and that included my feeling of wanting to reconnect with my blood, was more effective than I thought.

- I thought you were glad not to have them.

- Glad? Caroline ...

I turned to her who was watching me very worried.

"- The Magic is my legacy, what I have from my grandmother, and my lineage. In addition, to defend Elena is the best weapon. I am wary of the cure, I prefer to have my powers for damages control.

- And Jeremy?

- Matt can do it, he manages to control it. I do not think Jeremy needs me now, he needs a great friend who has experienced the same thing as him. Matt lost Vicki, as Jeremy lost Elena.

Caroline looked down, and for a moment I felt guilty for lying to her, but I swept this doubt from my mind as quickly. I've made my decision, and I would keep it.

- But you love him ...

No, Caroline. I do not need it anymore.

"- Yes, I love him. And that's why I'm leaving, I will need my full possession of my abilities.

I hugged Caroline and she returned my embrace, closed my face at the moment my head hit hershoulder. When she finally pulled herself away from me, I smiled slightly, and then I saw her.

Elena.

She was great of course, being a vampire has just embellished, and then surrounded by her prince charming, Stefan and Damon, only boost her aura. She was, wearing a black T-shirt with long sleeves and jeans. Looks like Damon has already rubbed off on her. Stefan gave me a friendly smile, I returned poorly. He will be hard to destroy. He was so full of good attentions I would feel almost guilty. Yes, almost.

Because I was not.

Elena came to me, and I remembered that the old Bonnie would have done, and it was probably not shove a slap with two vampires in love with her, and a blonde fury as best friend.

Two meters. Elena really, sometimes I...

She was a meter away from me, when I came and squeezed my arms around her. Like before.

"- Bonnie, I'm sorry about your grandmother ...

- Never mind I interrupted. It's not your fault. I just wanted to save you and I have lost my powers, I know.

I pulled away from her and took her face in my hands. His face bathed in tears. Looks like her vampire gene did their blowing job.

"- It's not your fault, I lied. OK?

Give me an Oscar! I require a shower of Golden Globes!

Elena and smiled. This kind of smile, so sincere, it made me melt almost instantly. Like when she broke my favorite doll and brought another way better to make amends the next day. That smile that would increase the loss of a family member for a big joke. But that smile was not working anymore. I am so healed that my insensitivity almost makes me afraid.

"- Are you sure you want to go alone? asked Stefan.

- It will be alright, as I said I'm off the radar, and ... (I took out photocopied sheets of my wallet and gave it to Stefan). These are handouts that had been decrypted in the cave with Alaric, and copies on Five subject in my spellbook. This will avoid you wasting time.

- Thank you, Bonnie, you do not know, how much it helps.

He touched my shoulder.

- Thanks, really.

- You're welcome, now I'll take the road, feel free to call me.

That's right, yeah. Don't call me.

Damon gave me a nod as I walked into my car. A last effort Bonnie. Call Caroline.

"- Yes, she said.

- Watch them well ... I blew a nod to the triangle. I don't feel comfortable.

- I promise. Enjoy your trip and take care of yourself.

I sent him a simple but real smile. Caroline, you had no idea how much you meant to me. But Klaus must die.

- You too.

I opened the engine and the car booted. I drove to the outskirts of town. The panel Mystic Falls gleamed in the afternoon sun. I removed my blue t-shirt with long sleeves and showed my black marcel. I left the sunglasses Rayban Aviator, my grandmother offered me to my sixteenth birthday and then had it on my nose.

I opened the radio, a man's voice broke through the speakers.

"- ... And now, LCD Sound System, with their single Big Ideas for those who take the road, feel the wind, classic is coming!

I smiled, and made the sound louder as the light turned green.

Bye, bye, bitches.
