Thank you for your support…and I know, I was horrible to leave it there last chapter. Hopefully this chapter will make up for it.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
"Stefan, what are you doing?" Elena asked eyeing Stefan as well as the co-ed standing next to him.
"I'm talking to my friend Bethany here, is there a problem?"
"Bethany…get lost", Damon stated.
Stefan turned Bethany's head to face him, "Bethany give me a moment with…these people…and we will get back to our conversation", Stefan smiled.
Bethany nodded as she headed away from the group.
"Stefan…we've been looking all over for you", Elena hugged him and he did nothing as he looked over at Damon.
"I really wish you would stop", Stefan said gently moving Elena away from him.
"Stop…Stefan, what is wrong with you…yeah, we know that you gave yourself over to Klaus to save me…but I'm saved, so now you can leave", Damon began.
Stefan smirked as he looked from Elena to Damon, "So how close are you two now that I am away?"
Elena and Damon exchanged looks, "What are you talking about?"
"I don't want to go back with you".
"What!" Elena gasped.
"I don't want to go back with you. I don't want to live that life with you anymore…I want to do my own thing and that does not include being that broody, mopey guy any longer…I want to stay with Klaus", Stefan replied.
"Sorry Brother, we can't let you do that", Damon stepped forward.
SSSSS
Bonnie felt Klaus' hands all over her, it felt as if he had more than just two as they kissed in the darkness of the coat closet. He picked her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist and as soon as he placed her on the floor, she felt like she should stop this but he stopped instead.
"What's wrong?" Bonnie said nearly panting and that made her slightly embarrassed.
"Stefan…you stay here", Klaus mumbled and with that Bonnie felt a gust wind signaling that Klaus had left her.
She sat up, "Well that's nice", she mumbled as she pulled her dress down and stood up. Her legs were still a little wobbly, but she recovered, "Stefan…wait…something's wrong with Stefan?" she mumbled as she grabbed her purse off of the counter using a small fire she lit in her hand to see and rushed out of the coat closet.
SSSSS
"Damon don't pretend that you want me to come home, you can be honest…this is your best shot to get a crack at Elena free and clear…go ahead, you can do that…I won't mind", Stefan smirked.
"Stefan what is wrong with you!" Elena gasped.
"Is Bonnie with you Stefan?" Caroline asked walking forward, "we're looking for her too".
"Bonnie…hmm…why would she be with me?" Stefan stated thoughtfully.
"She's here", Damon replied looking around, "I know it".
"I don't know what you're talking about, but what I do know is that I don't want to go back to Mystic Falls".
"Mystic Falls…Mystic Falls…do they really want us to come back there?" Klaus asked coming around the corner of the club.
"Klaus…what did you do Stefan?" Elena asked as the tears began to leave her eyes.
"I did nothing to Stefan…he's never been happier and I see your resurrection took place and I had no idea".
"Where's Bonnie!" Jeremy called to Klaus.
"Bonnie…the short…caramel witch...hmm…I have no idea where she is at this moment", Klaus smirked.
"He's lying", Damon said walking closer to Klaus, "where is the witch?"
"I have no idea what you are talking about", Klaus smirked.
"Stefan…please…is Bonnie here…why are you being like this, don't you still love me…don't you still want to be with me?" Elena asked.
"Stefan, why don't you tell her how you know all about her kissing your brother…leading him on…flirting with him innocently…", Klaus began but was grabbed by Damon.
"If you don't shut up, I will find a way to shut you up", Damon snarled.
"Try it", Klaus grinned.
And that's when Damon sniffed, "Bonnie's here…I can smell her all over you".
"Can you?" Klaus asked.
Damon tightened his grip for a few moments and then he felt his body flying back to the opposite side of the alley along with Elena, Caroline and Jeremy on one side and Stefan and Klaus on the other separating them was a line of fire . Everyone looked over towards the opening of the alley and saw Bonnie standing there.
"Bonnie", Elena whispered.
"What is going on here?" Bonnie asked.
"They've come to take Stefan back to Mystic Falls of course", Klaus spoke up.
"We were looking for you!" Caroline stated.
"But I'm not lost", Bonnie replied.
"Bonnie…what are you doing here with Klaus…this doesn't make any sense", Elena shook her head.
Bonnie looked at the two sets of people separated by the fire that she was controlling. On one side were the people who she considered almost family (sans Damon) and on the other side were two vampires who had helped her realize that she could be powerful and that she wasn't required to do whatever spells that popped into their heads at the moment. Her necklace began to glow as she looked at Elena and Caroline who were looking at her.
"Listen Witch, stop being so stupid…you can't possibly believe that Klaus would be loyal to you in anyway, he's using you…just like he's using Stefan…you can't be this naïve to believe that he could actually care about you on any level outside of what you can do for him!" Damon called to her.
Bonnie looked at Damon narrowing her eyes as they became black for a few moments and then she caused the flames to raise higher so that no one could see over there and then she looked over at Klaus and Stefan.
When the flames died down everyone was released from their positions on the wall and fell to the ground. "Where are they…where are they?" Caroline asked looking around at the empty alley besides the Mystic Falls gang.
"Why did you say that to her!" Elena raged as she headed over to Damon, "why would you hurt her like that!"
"I wasn't trying to hurt her…I was trying to make her see that she's being stupid!" Damon defended.
"By making her feel as though she's not mildly interesting…you are a jackass!" Caroline replied, "let's search around Jeremy…maybe we can find out where they went".
Jeremy glared at Damon as he followed Caroline around the corner.
Elena stood in place shaking her head in disbelief, "I didn't mean to hurt her…I only wanted…"
"You only wanted what!" Elena exploded, "Damon, I know that you can be charming…I know that you can turn the jerk button off for awhile…but saying those things to Bonnie…how could you do that…did you see her face when you said those things and now…now…we have no idea where they are! Stefan and Bonnie are with Klaus and you probably drove Bonnie closer to Klaus in some way. Thanks for ruining everything!" Elena stomped away from him following the path that Caroline and Jeremy went.
Damon balled up his fists and punched the wall sending the bricks crumbling. He honestly did not want to hurt the witch, he just wanted to make her see that she was being naïve and stupid…maybe he should have chosen better words, but she had to know that Klaus was bad news for her. He never meant to be the cause that drove the witch or his brother away permanently.
SSSSSS
When Bonnie, Stefan and Klaus walked into the mansion, Bonnie started for the stairs. "Bonnie…", Stefan began.
"Umm…I'm just going to go up to my room…I'm really tired", she sighed slipping off her shoes and heading up the stairs.
"Bonnie, I want to speak with you", Klaus called after her, but she said nothing as they heard her close the door.
Klaus turned to Stefan, "Your brother has to die".
"Damon was just trying to get her to come with them, he doesn't have the best approach…but that was his intention".
"He hurt her and you defend him, I thought one of your positions was that Bonnie would not be hurt and what did you brother do tonight…he should die", Klaus replied.
"Damon may have done most of the work for the both of us, Bonnie made a choice tonight and the choice was not Mystic Falls…" Stefan began, "she made it possible for us to get out of there. I think that she made an important choice tonight and she has decided to be with us".
Klaus thought about this for a few moments, "And what about you…did you make a choice tonight?"
Stefan looked at Klaus and shook his head, "I'm where I want to be".
"Good", Klaus replied touching Stefan's shoulder, "good…"
SSSSSS
Bonnie sat at the vanity in her room brushing her hair up into a ponytail. The moment outside of the club were playing over and over in her mind. Seeing her friends there trying to get her to come home and then Damon…he had an uncanny ability to take whatever she was scared or apprehensive about and bring it to the forefront. His statements were thoughts that always haunted her. Why would Klaus be interested in her? She wasn't anything particularly special…he could have any woman he wanted? What occurred in that coatroom was amazing, but why did it happen at all? Was it part of a seduction to get her on his side? Damon made her feel stupid, naïve and most of all undesirable in that alley and that's why she decided to leave with Klaus and Stefan, it was better than being in Mystic Falls where she constantly felt that way.
Bonnie twisted her hair up into a bun and stood up from the vanity, when there was a knock on the door. "Come in", she replied as the door opened and Klaus walked inside.
"Bonnie, I want to thank you for helping us to get out of the club without your friends following", he began.
She nodded as she turned to him.
"Is there something wrong?"
"No", she answered.
"Come now…I can see it in your eyes…tell me, you are not allowing that Neanderthal's words to infiltrate your mind".
Bonnie shook her head. She was fighting not to let her emotions rule this moment. She would not cry in front of Klaus.
He walked over, "Tonight, you let everyone know that you will not be taken advantage of…that you are powerful and you can control any situation that comes your way", he caressed her face, "do not allow Damon to second guess yourself because one thing that you can definitely believe, my romantic feelings for you are real".
Bonnie looked at him, "I believe that".
Klaus smiled as he pulled her closer to him. She closed her eyes as his lips went to her neck caressing her skin softly. She breathed in deeply as he picked her up and she flicked her fingers to turn the light off. He placed her on the bed and reached up pulling the hair tie out causing her hair to cascade down her back and over her shoulders. "Anyone who doesn't desire you is a fool", Klaus whispered before kissing her shoulder. Bonnie nodded as he lowered her down on the bed and she felt her nightshirt being lifted over her head.
She could feel her hands shaking as he slowly undressed her leaving kisses in places that made her want to scream. He slowly took her hands and put them over her head as he straddled her. She breathed in as he kissed her neck. This definitely was not her first time, but this would be her first time with a vampire and from what she heard from Elena, things were pretty intense.
She braced herself as she felt Klaus join with her and every thought about not being sure about this, went out of her head as her body adjusted to him. She returned his kisses with as much passion as he was giving her.
Klaus looked down at the witch below him and even though the only light in the room was the light from the moon showing through the window, he could see that her emerald eyes had turned onyx. The pendant was glowing and he felt her fighting him for some kind of power. She pulled him closer to her as he lifted them both up and she wrapped her legs around him. He heard her take a breath as he placed his hand on her neck and she bent her head back, he felt his fangs descend and the veins appear around his eyes. He studied her for a few moments before sinking his fangs into her neck and she gasped and held onto him tighter as he drank from her. Her blood was intoxicating, more than he thought it would be. He wanted to devour her in more ways than one and as much as she was an important part of his plan, being here with her this moment was worth it. He wanted her…he desired her…and in the end, he would have her forever no matter what he had to do or what lies he had to tell.
SSSSS
"Drink", Klaus said after biting into his wrist hours later as he lay next to Bonnie in her bed. Her eyes had returned to the emerald color and she was staring up at the ceiling. The moon was still shining into the room.
"Why?" she asked.
"To heal the wounds on your neck", he replied simply.
Bonnie touched her neck and felt the soreness of where he had bit her during their…interlude. She wasn't sure what came over here, maybe it was the words that he said or the fact that she was already emotional. Falling into bed with Klaus was definitely not part of the plan, but it had definitely happened and she wasn't exactly sad that it did.
"I don't like the taste of blood", she moved away from him.
"I'm sorry…but it is the only way to truly get rid of the wounds quickly…unless you want to keep them, which I am perfectly fine with…it will be a reminder of what happened tonight".
Bonnie took his wrist into her hand and sucked gently. She felt like gagging at the copper taste of his blood as she drank. "That's enough", he said touching her head softly and pulling her into an embrace, "you don't need much blood from me to heal".
Bonnie nodded, "Tonight was unexpected….everything has been unexpected since I woke up here. I don't usually move this fast with anyone…"
"Well we have other things working…being supernatural means we don't hold back our emotions as much with each other…", Klaus replied, "and the fact that we had some type of passion for each other broke down the walls".
"But I am not this easy…" Bonnie sat up holding the blanket up to her body.
"You think you are easy Miss Bennett?" Klaus smirked sitting up and looking at her, "you are not easy at all, do I have to talk about you trying to kill me a couple of months ago or how many times you have threatened me since you woke up here".
Bonnie laughed, "Ok…you have a point, but I…I don't sleep around".
"I would hope not because I would hate to go on a murdering spree", Klaus touched her cheek and kissed softly on the lips, "because I don't like to share".
Bonnie shook her head, "This is crazy…I feel like I have no worries or cares and it makes it so much easier to do whatever makes me feel good…"
"And that's how it should be, Bonnie you are entirely too young to have the weight of the world on your shoulders and I won't allow you to have it", he replied kissing her on the shoulder.
"And what do you want in return?" Bonnie asked.
"Nothing…"
"You just want me to be here…in this house…and do what…"
"Well if you do what you did tonight at least once a day, I would be pleased".
"I'm not here for that…tonight was…special", Bonnie replied.
"There is one thing…", Klaus touched her chin as they both lay back down and he wrapped his arms around her.
"What?"
"As you know that I have very little family…"
"Elijah…"
"Elijah is untrustworthy…I recently found out that I have a sister that was hidden away years ago…"
"Hidden away?"
"My mother had an affair and it was thought that I was the only consequence of that affair, but the truth is that my mother also had a daughter…before me…"
"Ok…so you want me to find her?" Bonnie asked.
"My sources tell me that she may be with a wolf pack around Virginia, but I haven't found her yet…"
"I will look into it".
"Thank you, but I will understand if you are unable to locate her".
"It may take some time, there are probably a lot of wolf packs around".
"I am patient, we will go through them one by one".
Bonnie nodded as she settled into Klaus' arms and closed her eyes. He listened for a few moments as her breathing changed and he realized that she was asleep. He gently moved her hair away from her face. If he allowed the tiny miniscule part of his humanity to seep in, it would tell him that he could have her and live happily ever after (whatever that meant for a vampire)…she would be by his side forever and he would be content. However, that part of him did not compare to the part of him that wanted it all, the power…the control…and Bonnie and nothing would stand in his way of having them all.
SSSSS
The next morning, Bonnie walked into the kitchen where Stefan was seated on one of the stools drinking blood from a mug. Klaus had left hours before while she was still asleep and to a degree, she was content with that. While she felt incredibly OK with what happened last night, there was still a part of her that felt as if they should slow it down…a great deal.
"Good Morning", Stefan greeted her.
"Good Morning, how are you?" she asked sitting down next to him after removing a yogurt from the refrigerator.
"I'm doing well…and how are you?"
Bonnie swirled the yogurt around and found herself frowning, "I'm ok".
"I want to apologize for what Damon said last night…"
"Stefan…no need…Damon was being Damon and you don't have to apologize for him anymore".
Stefan nodded, "I know, but what he said…he was just trying to get you away from Klaus, I doubt he meant it".
"He meant it…but it doesn't matter, he helped me make a choice last night and it was easier than I expected".
Stefan raised an eyebrow, "You seem different…"
"I feel different. It feels like I am finally embracing a life where I am intent on making myself happy or at the very least, getting back what I give to people", Bonnie began, "but I have done some weird things lately".
"What things?"
Bonnie looked at Stefan. They were friends, but she wasn't crazy about sharing her escapades with Klaus with him, "Just things", she shrugged, "things I never would have imagined doing a couple of months ago…so quickly".
"I see", he nodded, "and you and Klaus, how close are you two now?"
Bonnie felt a blush come over here, "Stefan, we may be friends…but there are some things that will just weird me out to talk about with you".
She noticed something in his eyes, "Stefan, trust me…I'm not coming into this naïve…I know that Klaus can be very manipulative, but I honestly believe that he is being sincere regarding his feelings for me".
Stefan nodded.
"And I know that it seems like things are moving fast, but I'm not second guessing it…so that means, that it must be ok…right?"
"If you are happy, then so am I".
Bonnie smiled as she placed some of the yogurt in her mouth and then frowned, "How did it feel seeing Elena last night?"
"I didn't expect to see her there…"
"I know…she does miss you Stefan".
Stefan nodded, "I know, but Elena is part of a life that I don't live any longer.
"How can you just forget her or turn your back on that life?"
"How can you?" Stefan asked.
Bonnie put the yogurt in her mouth, "I don't know…I still think when I'm ready, I will go back to Mystic Falls…but right now, I seriously don't want to".
"And you don't have to".
Bonnie nodded, "Klaus told me he has a sister that he wants to find…he says that she may be in a wolf pack…"
Stefan nodded.
"So I'm going to start searching for wolf packs today, but I have to find a spell first".
"Well if you need any help…let me know", Stefan replied.
"Thank you Stefan…", Bonnie smiled, "it means a lot that you are here with me and I can trust you".
"I was starting to get a little jealous…I thought that Klaus is starting to become your new best friend".
Bonnie rolled her eyes, "Klaus and I are close…that's all I'm going to say", she replied sliding off of the stool.
"Uh, huh…", Stefan smirked as she headed out of the kitchen, "and Bonnie, I like this version of you…I knew you were just waiting to let this side of you out".
Bonnie grinned as she headed out of the kitchen.
Two things: Maena's necklace…the one that Klaus gave Bonnie is enchanted to make the wearer of the necklace do whatever their heart desires with little thought to the consequences or who it will affect…which leads to the second thing, Bonnie and Klaus…well she wanted him, so she decided to be with him…we will see how far it goes.
Please leave review, I would appreciate it.
