When Damon's Camaro came to a stop in front of Caroline's house he turned and looked at me.
"Are you sure you really want to do this?" He asked, almost pleading for me to say "No, I don't want to stay the night with Caroline, Elena, and the chick who tried to kill me last week."
"Damon, for the last time, I'm sure," I firmly told him.
Damon nodded and turned back to the road. He abruptly turned back to me but I quickly cut him off.
"Damon, I promise I will be absolutely fine, and if Bonnie tries anything I will not hesitate to snap her neck, okay?"
He took a long look at me and sighed. "Okay, okay. Go. Have fun, or do whatever it is girls do at sleep overs."
I chuckled and grabbed my bags. "Goodnight Damon," I said and closed the door.
Caroline and I, more Caroline than me, decided to have the sleep over at her house instead of mine. Mainly because I didn't want Damon watching our every move and I wanted the opportunity to try to talk things over with Bonnie so she wouldn't try to, you know, kill me again.
As I walked up the steps to Caroline's house I took a deep breath. I was nervous. Not because I thought Bonnie would try anything, but because I had never been to a sleep over. Ever. In my 136 years on this planet, I had never even spent the night at someone's house. Well, I actually had, but not in a PG sort of way.
I softly knocked on Caroline's door and her mom, Liz, greeted me. I like Liz. She's nice to me, which is pretty rare, especially since she knows that I'm Damon's kid.
"Emma!" she smiled. "The girls are in Caroline's bedroom. It's down the hall and to the left. First room you see."
"Thanks Liz," I replied and started walking towards Caroline's room.
Caroline's bedroom was pretty much like I had pictured it. There was a surplus of pink, and everything was very neat, which was the opposite of my bedroom. I'd lived in Mystic Falls for only a month, and my room was already the messiest in the entire house.
When I walked into the room Caroline shrieked and hugged me. And then, out of nowhere she pinched me.
"You're late," she scolded.
I put my hands up in mock surrender. "I know, I know. It's not my fault Damon can't read a clock!" I smiled.
Elena and Caroline laughed while Bonnie sat in the corner and glared at me. I was about to say something very snide when Liz knocked on Caroline's bedroom door.
"I just got called into the station, will you girls be okay?" she asked as she adjusted her uniform.
"Yeah, mom. We'll be fine," Caroline replied.
"Okay, have fun girls! Love you, Care!" she called.
"Love you too!" Caroline yelled as she tore out her nail polish and started to paint Elena's nails.
When the front door slammed shut Bonnie finally spoke.
"Why is the mutant vampire here?" She hissed.
Elena rolled her eyes. "Bonnie, please stop. I really don't want to listen to this all night, so can you please get over it?" she pleaded.
"No Elena, I can't get over it. She shouldn't be here. She shouldn't be alive," Bonnie spit as she glared at me.
I guess Caroline had heard enough because she abruptly turned to Bonnie and scowled at her. "Dammit, Bonnie! You're not going to ruin our night with your witchy grudges. If you're going to be a bitch the entire time then leave!"
Bonnie suddenly looked like Caroline had struck her, and Elena just looked shocked.
"What is the matter with you two?" Elena helplessly asked.
I felt a knot in my stomach and I suddenly felt the need to leave.
"Look," I sighed. "I don't want to come between all of you and ruin the party, so I'm just going to leave. I'm not feeling very well anyway," I told them and before they could protest I turned and started walking towards the door. As my hand touched the doorknob I got a strange feeling in my head. I then realized that Bonnie was trying her witchy tricks on me. What an idiot, I thought to myself. I'm one of the most powerful vampires on the entire planet. Does she really think that she can use her weak witchy powers on me? I was almost offended, but more than anything I was really pissed off and I decided to get revenge.
I dropped to the ground and started screaming in agony, well fake screaming anyway. Bonnie's little magic tricks didn't even faze me; they just made me extremely annoyed.
Caroline and Elena started to rush towards me and wail at Bonnie to stop. Once they got close enough I shot up and shoved them out the door, locking it. Bonnie gaped at me with wide eyes but before she could say anything I had her pinned against the wall, my hand gripped on her neck. I then threw her on Caroline's hardwood floors.
"Emma, please stop," Bonnie rasped as she tried to pull herself off the floor.
I rolled my eyes and threw her against the wall once more.
"Bonnie, I've been around for a long time, and I don't think I've ever met a witch quite as stupid as you," I snapped. "I mean, I get it. Your ancestors wanted me dead because, yes, I'm a bit of an abomination, but is all of this really necessary? All I wanted was to come to Mystic Falls, meet my dad, and make friends, but you are creating serious problems for me. Can you please tell me exactly why you're being so difficult?"
"Go to hell," she spat and I quickly tightened my hold on her neck.
"Nah, I've already been," I smirked. "Now, I'll give you one more chance. You tell me why you're being so damn bitchy, and I won't snap your neck. Savvy?"
I waited ten seconds for her to speak up, and when she didn't I sighed. "Oh, Bonnie Bennett. I knew you were stupid, but I didn't realize that you were this stupid. Oh, well. You won't be missed," I whispered and I was about to kill her when she finally spoke up.
"You're the one who's supposed to kill Klaus. That's the only reason Esther allowed your mother to have you. The only reason you're here is because Esther wanted you to kill Klaus. But you won't do it. You're in love with Klaus so you won't kill him," she gasped.
Out of shock I abruptly dropped her and looked at her like she was crazy. What did she just say? Did she say I was in love with Klaus? The thought alone made me want to vomit up my dinner.
"Are you insane?" I shouted. "First of all, I am not in love with Klaus. I think you've got your brothers confused. Second of all, where did you get this information? Did your crystal ball or magic mirror tell you that, because if they did I suggest you smash them," I spat and picked Bonnie off the floor.
"Klaus loves you. You don't have to love him. I know you still won't kill him," Bonnie glared. "And I'm not lying. The prophecy says that the pure blood vampire kills the hybrid. That's just how it works."
"Are you out of your magic mind?" I shouted. "Klaus doesn't love anything or anyone, Bonnie. That's how Klaus is, and that's how he always will be. And I'm still having trouble figuring out why you're so dead set on killing me?"
"If you're not going to kill Klaus you have no reason living," she said, but not in a hateful way. To her she was just stating the cold, hard truth. I suddenly let go of Bonnie and sat down on the floor.
I sighed and rubbed my temples. "You're right about one thing, Bonnie. I won't kill Klaus. I can't. Not because I care about him, but because I care about Elijah, and I know Elijah would never forgive me if I killed his brother. The Original vampires take family very seriously."
Bonnie looked at me and nodded. "I apologize for the first time I tried to kill you. I made contact with the Bennett witches and they kind of possessed me. They do that sometimes," she shrugged.
"Ahh… I see," I smirked. "Anything else you want to apologize for?"
Bonnie laughed a bit. "I'm really sorry for trying to mess with your head, and not just because I'm going to have some wicked bruises in the morning," she smiled. "What I did was just bitchy and I'm sorry."
I nodded. "Apology accepted," I yawned.
"You're being very… nonchalant about this whole thing," Bonnie said.
I shrugged. "I've been alive for one hundred and thirty-six years, and I've learned some very important things. One of those things is that grudges are stupid and pointless and only waste time. You should apologize to people while they're still here, don't wait until they're gone."
Bonnie nodded. "That definitely makes sense."
"So, how the hell did you get the idea that Klaus 'loves' me?" I asked.
"The way he looks at you, how he acts around you," Bonnie replied. "And I think it's really funny that the second you need help, he mysteriously shows up with Stefan and a vial of blood."
I sighed. "I understand what you're saying, but Klaus doesn't love anything. Accept that and move on."
"You're probably right," Bonnie admitted.
I yawned once more and stood up. "I think I'm going to head home. Fights tend to wear me out," I smirked.
Bonnie nodded and stood up. "I know the feeling," she smiled.
"I wonder if Caroline is still hoping that we'll be 'besties'," Bonnie said as she walked me to the door.
"She gave you that speech too?" I laughed.
Bonnie rolled her eyes. "You have no idea."
When I walked into the Boarding House Damon was in the kitchen cooking, if you can believe it.
"What are you doing here?" he asked. "What happened?"
"No much, honestly," I shrugged and strolled into the kitchen. "Mmm, are you cooking pizza?"
"Don't change the subject, what the hell happened? And how did you get here? Did you walk? Why didn't you call, Emma? I could have picked you up!"
"Woah, slow down dude," I said. "Bonnie was angry I was there and tried to use her witchy tricks on me. That pissed me off, so I kind of beat the crap out of her. Her little magic tricks don't affect me, so I'm fine, but Bonnie might be bedridden for a couple days."
Damon suddenly busted out laughing and high-fived me. "Emma, you might just be the most badass chick I've ever met."
"Thank you, thank you very much," I bowed.
Damon turned back to the pizza he was making. "You hungry? This should be finished in about thirty minutes."
"No, I'm fine. I think I'm going to head to bed actually. I'm pretty tired."
"Okay," he shrugged. "Your loss. Goodnight."
"Night," I yawned and began my trek to my room. Once I got there I quietly shut my door and locked it. I then took one of my large throw pillows off my bed and buried it under my covers. I was about to do something Damon most definitely wouldn't approve of. I had to see Klaus.
