Chapter 3: Bidding Wars- continued
A/N: Okay everyone I am really sorry about the wait for this chapter, To make up for it though I promise another update this week... honestly.
So everyone that reviewed the previous chapter was wanting Kol to be paired to Bonnie as planned and I aim to please but there could be a reason it's called a "bidding war".
Shout out to Stacie yet again who has openly remained so loyal to this story and also to nofertiti, to whom i am so grateful for the lovely private message you left me. It truly helped me finish this chapter.
Also guys, heads up Kol might seem like a really evil guy at first but then what is to be expected of an original vampire !
Anyway don't worry it will all change in due time but for now enjoy bad guy Kol.
He stared at the girl intensely as she stepped up on stage with shaking hands. He was so very intrigued by her but more importantly he wanted her.
Kol Mikealson was indeed very used to getting what it was he desired at that very instant; whether it be a simple meal provided from an attractive women or some precious jewel or important trinket transported from any corner of the world. The point is what Kol wants Kol gets, Simple.
He slowly inspected his pending prize as he carelessly let a few bids for his soon –to- be possession aimlessly fly around. Everything about her seemed other worldly to him, as though she herself radiated some kind of higher power. Odd he thought as he had lived 1000 years, 900 alive and kicking if one was to be precise or technical, yet he had never come across a mortal so "supernatural".
He inspected her in the poor light of the Mystic Grille, to which he had decided did not do her any justice.
Her eyes sparkled in a blaze of emerald, her dark hair flowed down to frame her fame accenting her features as though it could highlight them. Although his favourite feature was the most obvious of all, it was the way her caramel skin glowed as though it was literally releasing her energy of sheer emotions.
Kol wickedly grinned to himself as he looked on at the nervous girl in front of him. He would claim her in every possible way and break her innocence and naivety to show her the real world she lived in.
Bonnie had watched her friends be snatched up almost instantly and for high prices too, so to say she was nervous would only be the understatement of the century.
Century was maybe a little extreme she thought to herself, after all in a town infested with vampires and only her as the resident witch words like century got thrown around a lot more than they should.
Her bidding had been slow at first, she was un able to actually see the audience as the bright spot light blinded her vision quite a bit. Although she could hear Matt's voice calling out numbers that grew higher and higher until he had to eventually stop. Bonnie knew fine well that Matt had a limited budget and so she would not hold it against him, despite the fact that she would now be open to random strangers she smiled at the gesture from her close friend.
The room was beginning to fill with mindless chatter as people grew less and less interested in the witch, when she heard Jeremy call out a sum of $700 and again she smiled. Jeremy had always said he would be there for her after she helped him through his hunter awakening. It just so happened that this was one of those times; Jeremy would save her from this god awful auction and she would stay with him for two week, she wouldn't have to wear a stupid costume or fill out "duties" and they would talk about maybe recovering their possible relationship. Everything would work out... or so she thought.
Another bidder shouted out in a clear English accent a sum of $900 and with that her stomach knotted. Bonnie knew there were only four people currently in Mystic Falls with accents like that and all four were originals from the Mikealson family.
The audience were becoming more and more restless as the numbers between the two men grew higher. The entire evening had began to drag on as people came and went through the doors, Bonnie envied their freedom all she wanted to do was leave and pretend she had never been talked into this event in the first place.
"$1200" Jeremy cried over a roar of cheers, a confident grin firmly plastered on his face.
"$1600" Kol calmly retorted as though he knew victory was drawing ever closer.
Jeremy struggled with this one, it had taken a lot of effort to save for this event and he really wanted Bonnie, "$ 1800" he stuttered out as though he himself did not believe his own words.
Many applauded his figure and prepared themselves to wrap up for the evening.
Kol growled as he glanced over at the Gilbert boy, long gone had the days when he would pretend to like the boy and it seemed he needed a lesson to be taught. "$2000" Kol stated before whispering harshly into Jeremy's ear "and please Jeremy do not embarrass yourself further with offering money we all know you can't afford".
"Sold" Liz cried out almost in relief "to a mister Kol Mikealson" she announced smiling sympathetically at Bonnie.
Kol... Kol why Kol of all the originals she had to get Kol, Bonnie inwardly cursed herself for the millionth time for openly taking part in such a ridiculous event as she wheeled her suitcase towards her new owner and most probably her doom.
"Bonnie Bennett, her name is Bonnie Bennett" Liz spat the words at Kol, " and don't you dare harm a single hair on her head" she threatened before walking away in the opposite direction.
A Bennett he thought to himself, it certainly explains all the energy she radiated, she was the Bennett witch his brother had babbled about. Oh this was going to be fun he smiled as she approached him.
