Until we meet again, have a good one.
Elena was still at the Salvatore boarding house when she got a call on her cell phone. Picking it up she looked at the picture of Bonne's smiling face as the person who was calling her. Giving a sound of disgust she sled her pointer finger across the touch screen to reject the call and send it to voicemail. She knew it was wrong, but lately she and Bonnie have not been getting along and Elena already knew what Bonnie wanted to talk about. She knew that if she picked up the phone Bonnie was going to give her an earful.
After rejecting the call and putting the phone back down she gave a coy smile to Damon who had been watching her to then quickly look at her sometime boyfriend Stefan who was in the corner brooding with a drink in his hand. Ever since she meet Stefan when she was 17 after saving her from a car accident that killed her parents and meeting Damon a few months later her whole world changed. She was dotted on by both brothers, given what she wanted, fucked when needed, and the best thing about it was she didn't have to compete with either Caroline or Bonnie, though Bonnie in her mind was not much competition at all. It was Caroline she had to be careful about because of the relationship she had with Damon, even if she was used and abused by him for sex and blood. In her mind it wasn't abuse after she had gotten to know Damon and desire him, but a relationship Caroline willing participated in.
"Who was that, Elena," Stefan asked as he looked up from his drink.
"Just Bonnie calling. I can just imagine Caroline told her about the meeting and she is calling to complain," Elena explained.
"Are you sure? She could be calling to talk or, I don't know, hang out with a friend," Stefan said as he began to look at Elena in a different light lately. He had been noticing things about her that he was starting to dislike. For one he started to see how selfish and inconsiderate she was when it came to people she supposedly cared about. Also, if things didn't go her way or Caroline and Bonnie didn't do what she wanted she would throw a bitch fit and it was during these last few months that he began to wonder if all the doppelgangers were the same. Just a repeat of the one before; evil, self centered, conniving bitches that got what they wanted no matter the costs.
"Oh c'mon little brother you know it was Witchy calling to bitch about not being included because I can grantee that Caroline told her and she was calling to give her two cents," Damon said as he walked to their drink cart and poured a glass of Bourbon.
"Check the voice message," Stefan said, "Make sure it's not something else," he finished as he leaned back into his chocolate brown leather chair. Rolling her eyes Elena called her voicemail and put the phone on speaker.
"Hey Lena, it's Bonnie. Anyway, I was just calling because I have some very important news that I would like to say to you in person. Tyler and Matt are coming as well. I just thought I tell my best friends the news in person and then maybe after me, you, and Caroline can watch a movie or just make it a girls' night like old times sake. I'll give you until 10 tonight to come over. Until then, bye."
After the message was over Elena deleted it and leaned back into the soft leather couch. "Ugh, I really don't want to go," she whined. "I want to stay here with you two," she said.
"When was the last time you spent time with them," Stefan asked as he got up to pour himself another drink.
"Does it really matter," Damon piped in.
"Yes it does Damon and you know it does," Stefan answered as he poured more dark liquid into his glass. He was hungry tonight so he was drinking more, but he didn't feel like going out for fresh blood and he didn't want a blood bag and he sure as hell didn't want to drink from Elena like he use too.
Elena looked between the two brothers and rolled her eyes again, "Like I said before I don't want to go. Besides she'll tell me when I ask her, I don't have to go. Plus, like Damon said, she'll do and say anything for me," she finished as she flipped her long, brown, straight hair over her shoulder.
"You know you sound like a selfish bitch right about now you know that don't you," the green eyed vampire asked her as he looked into her mud brown eyes.
"So," was all she said as she looked right back at him.
Giving her a sneer he looked to his blue eyed brother, "I'm out of here. Maybe if you give her some dick she may just pipe the fuck down and think for a change," Stefan stated as he finished his drink and made his way to the door.
When the door slammed Elena scoffed and looked towards Damon, "I can't believe he just said that." She was a little offended, but not much. Elena had been sleeping with both Salvatore brothers on and off throughout the time she has known them. If she was not with one she was with the other and then on rare occasions both, but she had never heard Stefan talk down to her before and she was a little miffed by it.
Damon looked at Elena and gave her a knowing smirk, "You heard what the man said. I think you need the D," he told her as he walked over to her and started to pull her upstairs to his bedroom.
Bonnie looked at her cell phone and noted the time and the fact that Elena didn't have the decency to call or even text back. She was beginning to realize that their friendship was dying and she felt some heartbreak over that. Deciding not to wait any longer Bonnie turned to the two males that were sitting in the chairs in her living room and cleared her throat. Looking from one to the other Bonnie released the breath she was holding and rushed out, "I'm pregnant."
"You're knocked up Bonnie B? I never would have thought it would be you," Tyler Lockwood said as he looked at one of his best friends.
"Tyler," Caroline yelled as she glared at her boyfriend.
"What," he asked as he looked between her, Bonnie, and then Matt Donovan who shrugged his shoulders.
"Apologize," Caroline demanded and Bonnie started to laugh which caused Caroline to turn towards her.
"It's okay Care Bear, he doesn't need to apologize. I mean after all its true. I'm knocked up," Bonnie explained as she looked at the horror that was on her best friend's face.
"I feel that he does," Caroline stated crossing her arms over her ample chest.
Rolling his eyes and sticking out his tongue before Caroline turned back to him making Bonnie and Matt laugh. Tyler schooled his features and looked from Caroline to Bonnie and said in his most gentlemanly southern voice said, "It is with my humbleness that I, Tyler Lockwood, apologize to thee, Bonnie Bennett, for saying you got knocked up. Can you please accept my apology?" The laugh that Matt was holding in soon spelled out and soon all of them, including Caroline, were laughing.
Matt was the one who sobered first said, "Man, I can't remember the last time we laughed so hard."
"Me either, but it's good though. We need to do this more often. You know, just hang and be together. Besides my Little Bun is going to need you guys," Bonnie stated.
"Awe, group hug," Caroline shouted as she pulled Bonnie up and into a tight hug with Matt and Tyler surrounding them.
"And don't worry Bonnie," Tyler said, "We'll be the best uncles we can be and you know Care is going to be an amazing aunt. You know wolves are; we take care of our own and you're one of mine."
"Yeah and now it's our turn to take care of you and the Little Bun. So, don't worry about us anymore, let us worry about you," Matt said as he hugged the people in his arms a little tighter.
It was at that moment that Bonnie knew her friends were telling the truth and she felt so much love. It has been a very long time since this feeling came over her about her friends instead of worry. She knew everything was going to be alright and that she was going to make. She just didn't know about Elena.
After their reconnection moment that was a long time coming, the friends ordered more pizza and much to her surprise the baby was happy and even made his presence know and what he did and didn't want on his pizza. When it first happened Matt and Tyler said at the same time, "Stop that." But Bonnie didn't realize it was her until it happened again and she realized that she was letting off energy from her power. To Matt and Tyler it almost felt like a tickle, but to Caroline she said it felt like a soft caress. She definitely knew she would have to talk to Grams about the connection and the power release.
After the pizzas were delivery and Caroline was going through Bonnie's DVD collection Bonnie relayed to Matt and Tyler about Katherine being in town, "While she's here we have to figure out what she is doing before that genius fucks up and bodies start piling up," Tyler said as he thought about Damon. To him none of that man's plans ended well. One of his plans had landed his mate in a hospital and changed all within the span of 24 hours.
"Can't you do a spell that will make her come to us or something," Matt asked. "You know like one where you led her to where you want her and then we can just simply ask what she wants and if she doesn't do so willing isn't there a spell to make her talk?"
Bonnie thought for a moment, "Matt you are a pure genius. I think I have something in my grimoire about a calling spell and maybe a little something to make her talk or a headache. Just let me go and get it from my bag." Bonnie stood up to go up to her room.
Caroline quickly stood up as well, "No, I'll go get it for you," she stated as she started to move towards the stairs.
"Care, I'm fine I can go and get it," Bonnie stated.
"No, no, just sit and relax. I'll go and get it. Really," Caroline insisted moving closer to the stairs.
"Why don't you want me to go and get my grimoire," Bonnie asked as she crossed her arms over her chest.
Not knowing how to answer without making Bonnie angry Caroline started to rub her hands nervously. She wanted to tell her that she thought the grimoires that she had were always on the heavy side and now that she was pregnant she didn't think she should carry anything at all. Plus, Bonnie was small in size and in height so she could only just imagine the strain it will have on her body while pregnant.
"Bonnie just let Caroline go and get it. It will make her feel useful in a lot of ways," Matt explained, his thoughts running along the same lines as Caroline's.
It took Bonnie awhile, but she finally caught on. They didn't think she was capable of carrying it since she was pregnant. They never cared before, "I can carry it guys. I have been carrying it and I never got help before."
Tyler cleared his throat, "We did try to help before you just never noticed it. Every time me, Matt, or Caroline asked you always turned us down. You only let us help when you have a lot of them. I always wondered when you pick one up if that was the one that was going to cause you to fall. Now that you have Little Bun we should carry anything remotely heavy for you."
Bonnie through up her hands and huffed, "Fine, it's in my duffel bag. I'll do the spell tonight. There's no use in waiting," she said as she went back to her seat a little annoyed at the three of them. This was going to be a long pregnancy.
Katherine Pierce paced the empty and spacious living room of the abandoned house she had taken to living in with the witch Lucy who had spelled it to keep unwanted visitors away from it. She was here for a job and hopefully gain her freedom from the great Hybrid known as Klaus. She had made the mistake of crossing him 500 years ago and had been on the run ever since, until she found the doppelganger.
When she had found the next mirror of herself, she was relieved and happy. The only thing she had to do was get a little blood from her and take it to the Hybrid, but things didn't work out that simple. Damon Salvatore came into the picture and missed up her plan of coming and going peacefully.
It started with Damon seeing her and wanting to get back in her life after 150 years of not seeing each other after his belief that his father had killed her and burned her body only for her to tell the truth. The truth that she escaped and wanted nothing to do with him so she left only to come back for Stefan.
When Damon had heard the news he went into his usually fit of rage and the cat and mouse game issued in a power play. She ended up loosing because of the Bennett witch who was a lot stronger than what she looked. After getting back at the witch by turning her best friend she left town to lick her wounds and regroup. That was over a year ago.
Now she was back. Determined more that ever to finish what she started; to get the blood and gain her freedom from Klaus and maybe, just maybe, get the love of her life back. So she had to stay focused and plan and plan again. She didn't want the same shrew ups as last time. It was bad enough that Stefan and Damon stopped her before, but if she just kept doing what she were doing than she would be out of here before they knew what hit them.
It was as she was making her 10th pass across the room when she felt a tug as if someone was pulling her. She realized that she had started to walk towards the door, but she stopped herself only to have the urge kick in again. Panicking she called out to her friend, "Lucy," she screamed as the pull became so strong that as she tried to resist it she fell.
Lucy Bennett came running down the stairs to see Katherine on the floor being pulled towards the door and realized what was happening. "Oh shit, the little witch did a summoning spell. You have no choice, but to go," Lucy stated as she went to open the door and then to help her friend upright. "Follow the pull and I'll be right behind you."
Katherine became agitated, "What is this is a trap? What then," she asked as she started to walk even though she didn't want to down the porch steps and towards the forest that was across the street.
"I've got my powers and Bennett witches know each other and we can't use against each other either it's an unspoken rule. It's against our nature to harm a sister. Plus, I wouldn't harm her anyway. She is the last of the great line, a Daughter of a Daughter," Lucy explained.
Katherine was confused."What in the hell do you mean a Daughter of a Daughter," Katherine asked as she followed the pull to where Bonnie was leading her.
"A Daughter of a Daughter is a witch in our line that comes straight from Ayanna herself and back even further some say. A true heir to that power. Power passed down to power gaining in even more power; a mother to daughter and so on."
"How come you're not a Daughter of a Daughter?"
"My line comes from a son and our power is mostly maternal. Though I still have powers the strongest will always go to the direct descendant. She is the last because some of the Spirits became angry at the power the Bennett women were gaining. At first they tried causing the women to have more sons born or limit the number of births. The Bennett line found out and fought even harder to protect the line. After a while the Spirits and witches divided amongst themselves. One half determined to end the Bennett line and the other to preserve it. Some of the women took to tricking the Spirits and other witches that were against the Bennett line. My cousin, Abby, Bonnie's mother gave up all her power to protect her daughter, the last of the line."
"Shit and I thought me running was fucked up," Katherine said as she stepped into a back yard and stopped. As she looked around she realized that she was not in the back of the boardinghouse and when her eyes went to the light at the back door she watched as it opened to reveal the witch in all her glory and the blond, Caroline. "Why, hello there cupcakes," she said in her most snarky voice.
Caroline was about to respond when Bonnie did. She wanted to show Katherine that they were playing. "No time for chit chat and I am going to ask you a question once and only once," she said as she looked between Katherine and her cousin she met the last time they were here in Mystic falls. "What do you want so we can give it to you so you can leave?" Katherine opened up her mouth in shock and then shook her head in disbelief before she laughed. Bonnie did not like her reaction and as she crossed her arms over her chest she sent her an aneurism.
Falling to her knees in pain Katherine grabbed her dark chestnut colored curls and yelled, "Okay, okay, you witchy bitch I just need some of Elena's blood."
"Why," Bonnie demanded.
"Because she is the only human doppelganger and if I give her blood to the Great Hybrid he can stop chasing me and killing innocent people just to find her. All he needs is just some of her blood."
"What does he need her blood for?" Bonnie made a mental note to find out about the so called Great Hybrid and what he could do.
Katherine wasn't going to answer so Bonnie applied more pressure and Lucy spoke up instead, "He needs the blood to make more hybrids like him. He feels alone and to also give his brothers a chance not to suffer the wolf curse. If we give him the blood willing then everything will be okay. The killing of innocent people will stop," Lucy stated.
"And what happens if we don't," Caroline asked just as curious as Bonnie.
"Then you watch bodies pile up until he gets what he wants. He is already making his way here, so it will be better to cooperate," Lucy stated matter of fact and Bonnie stopped hurting Katherine.
Not wanting a war on her hands especially with the baby Bonnie weighted the options they had and found that Elena giving some blood may just keep this Great Hybrid away from her town along with bloodshed. "And this is all you need," Bonnie asked already making a decision.
"Yes," Katherine simply stated.
"Meet me at the Grill tomorrow at 3. I'll have it then and you can leave."
Katherine smiled. It was much easier than what she thought, "Until later cupcake," she said as she blew Bonnie a kiss and growled at Caroline.
Before she followed Katherine Lucy looked back at her cousin for a moment. The two locked eyes and smiled before Lucy turned away. Following Katherine back to their hideout she made a sigh of release. She had done her part now everything else just had to fall into place.
After the two were gone Matt and Tyler stepped from the shadows, "Are you sure that we are doing the right thing," Matt asked.
"Yes and if it only takes a little bit of Elena's blood to keep Mystic Falls safe then so be it. I've got a Little Bun to take of." They all nodded in agreement and went back into the house to plan. They only needed to do this one thing and then it would be over.
