Thank you for continuing to read and review. I wish that we could get some Klonnie scenes on the show. It is very upsetting that Bonnie hasn't had many scenes with Klaus (or Damon). Anywho…continuing on…
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Bonnie sat in a chair in the living room watching as the seconds ticked away on the grandfather clock. She went over and over in her head everything she reconstructed in the woods. The wolf went right after her following whatever Klaus mouthed to him and instead of rushing to her aid, Klaus went straight to the wolf pack to feed him his blood and snap his neck. Klaus' actions towards the leader were geared to turn him into a hybrid. He made no mention of wanting to turn anyone into a hybrid. Then there was the fact that he didn't stop the wolf from coming after her and it appeared that he actually sent the wolf after her. None of that made any sense.
Bonnie touched the necklace around her neck and played with the pendant. Had Klaus changed? Or had she been so desperate to have someone care about her that she ignored that he hadn't changed and that he had just found a new object of manipulation…her.
"Love, what are you doing in here?" Klaus asked entering the living room with a wrapped gift in his hand.
Bonnie looked at him for a few moments, searching his face for something…something that told her that his feelings were real for her and he wasn't using her, "Love, what is wrong?" he asked concerned.
"You care about me…don't you?" Bonnie asked.
"Of course I do…I love you", Klaus answered.
"Why…why do you love me…what have I done that was so special that you fell in love with me in such a short time?" she asked still searching.
"Bonnie, I have lived for hundreds of years…I know what I desire and I know what I want…you sell yourself short, you are an amazing young woman", Klaus caressed her cheek.
Bonnie reached up and held his hand there closing her eyes for a few moments. She felt him pull her closer with his other arm and then she felt his lips on hers. She held onto to him willing herself to forget what she saw earlier…trying to ignoring the warning bells that were going off around her…trying to just allow herself to be loved by someone without the disappointment.
"I want you in my life forever", Klaus whispered in her ear, "and I will never let you go…no matter what it takes".
Bonnie shook her head as she gently pushed him away from her.
"Bonnie…what is wrong?" Klaus asked.
"I want to believe you…", she said feeling her throat start to burn.
"What do you mean?" he moved closer to her.
"I want to believe that you care about me and that you're not using me", she felt the tears pool at her eyes.
"I'm not…Bonnie, what are you talking about…has someone been filling your head with lies?"
Bonnie planned to keep quiet longer, but she couldn't let this charade continue, "The pack leader last night…you turned him?" she asked staring at Klaus unflinching.
"What do you mean?"
"I…remembered something from last night, the pack leader…you fed him your blood and snapped his neck…you turned him", Bonnie moved closer.
"Bonnie…you must be mistaken, when that wolf attacked you everything got out of hand…"
"Yes…that wolf…what did you say to him before he transformed and tried to attack me?" Bonnie asked.
"Bonnie…what are you talking about?" Klaus asked shaking his head, "I said nothing to that werewolf".
"You said something to him Klaus, now what did you say?" Bonnie challenged him, "because everything was relatively calm until you said something to that guy…did you compel him in some way to attack me".
"No…my god Bonnie…why would I do something like that?" Klaus gasped.
"I don't know…that's why I'm asking you and why did you turn the pack leader, are you trying to make hybrids too in between looking for your sister…", Bonnie began and then she studied Klaus' eyes, "do you even have a long lost sister?"
"Bonnie…"
"You've been lying to me, haven't you?" Bonnie asked grabbing his arm, "there is no sister is there…"
"Bonnie…"
Bonnie let him go, "You've been lying to me…why do you want me to find the packs…do you want to have a team of hybrids…you've been using me this entire time…I cannot believe this...", Bonnie turned away from him as the tears instantly sprang to her eyes as she ran her hands through her hair.
"Bonnie…please…", Klaus began touching her arm.
"Get off of me…you know, I should have known that you were using me for something…all of the words…all of the dinners…all of the lovemaking…I should have known that it was all about getting me to do something for you, you are just like the rest of them…", Bonnie started walking out of the living room and started towards the stairs.
As she began walking up the staircase, Klaus sped in front of her and took her arms, "Bonnie…listen to me…I love you…I want you and yes…yes…I may have lied to you, but that was before…"
"Get off of me, Klaus", Bonnie fought him.
"Bonnie…I'm not letting you go!" Klaus grabbed her kissing her as she fought him on the stairs. The stronger he held on, the more she fought him and finally he loosened his grip, but as he reached out for her she lost her footing and began falling down the stairs as she screamed.
Klaus stood watching her tumble down the stairs wanting to run after her, but she was going to leave him…and he would never allow her to do that …alive.
Stefan parked his car outside of the mansion and after closing the door, he heard Bonnie scream. He raced from the driveway towards the mansion. When he pushed the door open, he saw Bonnie lying at the bottom of the stairs unconscious and Klaus standing on the stairs.
"What did you do!" Stefan exploded as he rushed over to Bonnie biting into his wrist and allowing his blood to flow into her mouth.
"I didn't do anything…she fell…get away from her", Klaus flew down and pushed Stefan out of the way as he caressed Bonnie's face, "she fell…we were going upstairs and she fell down the stairs, if she needs anymore blood…I will give it to her".
Klaus watched as the cut on Bonnie's forehead began to heal, "She will be fine", Klaus replied lifting Bonnie up off the floor.
"You are not taking her upstairs alone, I will go with you", Stefan replied touching Klaus' arm.
Klaus turned to Stefan and stared directly into his eyes, "Leave us", he stated.
Stefan dropped his arm and watched as Klaus carried Bonnie upstairs.
SSSSSS
Klaus sat in a chair by Bonnie's bed watching her sleep for hours. He loved her, he did not doubt that, but he knew that there was no way that he would allow her to leave him…not alive anyway. He watched her stir; he was prepared to turn her at that moment if that what it would take to get her to stay.
Her eyes fluttered open for a few moments and she turned to him. He looked at her, "Good Morning", he stated.
She looked at him and then sat up suddenly, "Stefan…where is he…he was bitten…did you heal him…where is he?" she jumped out of the bed as Klaus looked at her puzzled.
When she fell down the stairs, she hit her head pretty good…could it be? Some kind of amnesia? Klaus looked at her as she fled the room and rushed towards Stefan's room.
Bonnie opened Stefan's room door and ran into him as he was slipping his t-shirt over his head. "Oh my god…Stefan!" she rushed over and hugged him, "you're ok…you're alive".
"Yes…Bonnie…what…"
"Bonnie, Stefan is fine…", Klaus smirked walking over, "why would you think otherwise…what is the last thing you remember?"
"Being in the woods…when the wolves went crazy and one bit Stefan and I killed him…and…why are you two looking at me like this?" Bonnie asked searching Klaus and Stefan's faces.
"Bonnie…you must have hit your head that night when we were in the wolves, you were out for an entire day", Klaus walked over to her.
Stefan narrowed his eyes at Klaus.
"I was out for an entire day…I missed a day?"
"Yes, you hit your head…I gave you some blood, but not a lot…I know how you don't like that", Klaus replied touching her arm.
"And you're ok?" Bonnie turned to Stefan.
"I'm fine", Stefan replied staring at Klaus.
Bonnie looked from Stefan to Klaus, "What's wrong…it seems like something is wrong between you two".
"I can assure you that nothing is wrong Bonnie, why don't you go take a shower and I will have the kitchen prepare you something to eat…you've been asleep for an entire day", Klaus replied.
Bonnie raised an eyebrow, "I guess I should take a shower, but when I'm done…I want to know what went on between you two and what the hell happened to me".
"Whatever you want to know, I will tell you", Klaus replied watching Bonnie walked out of the room.
"Why doesn't she remember anything?" Stefan whispered.
"I guess the bump in her head wiped out a few things…all is well…", Klaus shrugged.
"What happened last night…did she really just fall?"
"Stefan, it would be best that you do not question something that is really none of your business", Klaus smiled as he turned and walked out of the bedroom.
Stefan watched as Klaus disappeared down the hallway clenching and unclenching his fists.
SSSSSS
Damon walked into the smoky bar that Stefan had given him the address to and looked around. "Can I help you?" a voice asked from behind him.
He turned around to see a rather petite black woman with short blond hair, "Stefan sent me…he said that you had something that would help me take down a witch for a few hours", Damon replied.
The woman smirked, "Do you have my payment?"
"Your payment…how much…Stefan didn't tell me that this would cost anything…"
"Oh no, you are probably thinking monetary…oh no…payment will be settled in labor, Vampire", she replied, "or rather…by your blood".
Damon looked at the woman standing in front of him—he was going to murder Stefan.
SSSSSS
"I didn't feel different after the wolf attack…Stefan was the one who was bitten, why would I pass out?" Bonnie asked sitting next to Klaus on her balcony.
"I think when you used your powers to kill that wolf, you must have overexerted yourself…remember, you said that if you use too much magic…your body can't handle it…", Klaus replied.
"Yes, but that hasn't happened in months…"
"I don't know what to say…only, I know I was very fearful when you collapsed…I thought that I lost you", Klaus stated taking her hand, "because I never want to lose you Bonnie, I don't care what I would have to do…but I am keeping you with me…by my side forever".
Bonnie searched Klaus' eyes and slowly removed her hand, "But you know that eventually…I may be ready to go back to Mystic Falls…"
"Why would you ever want to do that…Damon is there and he has attacked you, your friends have made it clear that they rather he be in their lives…"
Bonnie looked out towards the trees, "You know that I won't live forever".
"But you could", Klaus moved closer to her, "if you would allow me, I could give you eternal life".
Bonnie raised an eyebrow, "But I don't want eternal life".
"Do you not want to be with me forever, don't you feel deeply for me?"
"Yes…but…"
"But what?" Klaus asked.
"Sir", Ronald said from the doorway.
"What is it Ronald?" Klaus stated staring at Bonnie.
"I need to speak with you…it is important".
Klaus sighed as he looked over at Bonnie, "We will continue this conversation later".
"There's not much to talk about on the subject, my feelings won't change Niklaus", Bonnie called after him.
"We shall see about that Miss Bennett", Klaus mumbled as he walked out of the room with Ronald.
"I am sorry to disturb you, but the witch Gloria has been found…she owns a bar not far from here", Ronald replied.
"She can tell me what happened to my hybrid", Klaus asked looking at Ronald.
"We believe so…"
Klaus looked back towards Bonnie's bedroom, "Get the car ready, we will go see Gloria…but we must hurry back, I can feel Bonnie slipping away and after last night, time is of the essence".
"Very well Sir", Ronald nodded heading down the hallway.
Klaus entered Bonnie's bedroom, "Bonnie, I am sorry to leave so suddenly…but I have to take a short trip with Ronald", he took her hands in his, "but I promise that I will return this evening and when I return, we will continue our conversation".
"Fine…fine", Bonnie shook her head.
Klaus placed his hand on her neck and pulled her closer to him, "I love you", he whispered.
She nodded as he let her go and headed out of the bedroom. She wrapped her arms around her body, she didn't feel right…she felt as if something was missing and it was nagging her. As she turned to look in the mirror, her cell phone began buzzing on the dresser.
SSSSSS
"Welcome to Starbucks, can I help you!" the cheery guy barista behind the counter smiled brightly at Damon as he leaned over the counter, "You can help me…by doing one simple thing…", he replied looking directly into the barista's eyes, "you can take this little bag of white powder and put it in the latte that this girl…", he held up Bonnie's picture, "will order in a few moments".
The barista nodded as he took the white bag and Damon moved away from the counter to wait outside. He took a seat outside and held up a newspaper as he watched people walk in and out of the coffee shop. He still felt a little weak from giving soo much of his blood to that witch earlier. He had no idea why she wanted his blood, but it was the only way he would get that little bag to stop the petite witch from setting him on fire again. He wasn't sure why he allowed Stefan to talk him into this. The witch was a know it all and it wasn't his fault that she somehow became seduced by an egomaniac original vampire who was a master manipulator.
He knew that when all of this went down, she would be less than happy and he would take all the heat. She would be angry with him and of course threaten him with death. The first thing that he would tell her is that, it was definitely Stefan's idea.
He lowered his newspaper as he noticed the witch appear from around the corner and head into the Starbucks. She walked inside, looked at her watch and looked around for a few moments before heading over to the counter and ordering a drink.
Damon watched as she walked over to stand waiting for the drinks looking around. She looked down at her cell phone for a number of moments and then she smiled, texting someone back. Since she ran away from Mystic Falls, she had cut off communication with Caroline and Elena, Stefan wasn't texting her…so the only person she could possibly be texting is Klaus; Damon felt a little nauseated. He had no idea how Bonnie could even allow that psycho into her life, let alone touch her.
He watched Bonnie get her drink and sip it. He stood up and moved towards the door of the Starbucks. Bonnie pushed open the door as Damon grabbed it, "Hello Bonnie", he grinned at her.
She glanced up for a moment, "What are you doing here…get away from me", she snapped heading away from him.
"Well…I'm sorry, I can't do that at the moment", he followed after her glancing at his watch, he had twenty seconds left.
"You better or you will turn into a walking talking…", Bonnie began as she turned to face him and then she dropped the cup on the ground as she felt dizzy, "did you do something…", she mumbled as she swayed a little, felling Damon's arms around her.
"Remember this was not my idea", he whispered in her ear as she felt her eyelids get heavy and she collapsed in his arms.
SSSSSS
Stefan looked down after his phone beeped and read the text message, "It's done", Damon's message appeared on the screen.
Stefan nodded as he slipped his phone back into his pocket.
SSSSSS
Bonnie heard water dripping near her as she felt her body slowly start to come alive. Her head was pounding as she reached up to touch it and her mouth was dry. She opened her eyes and looked around, she was…in a cell…she sat up.
"Hello Sleeping Witch", Damon's voice said from outside the steel door.
Bonnie blinked for a few moments, "Where…where am I?"
"Well you are in the good ole Salvatore cell…we usually put people here when they need timeouts", Damon smirked.
"Did you drug me?"
"Why would I do a thing like that?" Damon asked.
Bonnie looked around and then she noticed…her powers…she didn't feel them, "What did you do to me?" Bonnie asked looking around.
"What…nothing…I would never take advantage of…"
"What did you do to me!" she screamed as she stood up from the cot and walked over to the door staring into his eyes, "my powers are gone…now what did you do to me?"
"Bonnie, its for your own good…or for my own good…one or the other".
"When I get my powers back and I get out of here, I'm going to kill you Damon", she said with a complete straight face.
"Bonnie…look…I am doing this for your own good, whatever you have going on with Klaus…"
"Is none of your business!" she snapped, "don't you ever speak about what I have with Klaus!"
"Do you even hear what you are saying…its Klaus…remember the guy who was ready to sacrifice Elena, Caroline and Tyler for his own selfish reasons…"
"Oh like you were willing to murder, steal and maim to get Katherine out of the tomb?" Bonnie countered, "but we all forgave you…didn't we…you became one of the gang, even though you would snap our necks in a heartbeat if we hurt your feelings, so who are you to judge?"
"You're right…who am I to judge, but I know that you are loyal to a fault and having a relationship with Klaus has to be some type of rebellion on your part…"
"Why…why does it have to be rebellion, if you must know…Klaus has treated me better over the past couple of weeks than any of you have in months".
"That may be true, but you can't trust him…you have to know that", Damon stated.
"What I know is that you tried to choke me when I said I couldn't find Stefan and the one time I came home, you attacked me and threw me through a coffee table…you are a monster and I don't want to be anywhere near you!" Bonnie fumed and walked away from the door.
"He compelled me to attack you when you came back…I didn't do any of that by choice…did you ever think about how I knew that you would be home?"
Bonnie whipped her head around, "Am I supposed to believe that you were compelled to do something that you have done multiple times…am I supposed to believe that Klaus would tell you to throw me through a glass table…you are sick…what do you want from me Damon, there must be something…why else would you kidnap me and lock me in here".
"I also took away your powers, so if I needed something…why would I do that?"
Bonnie opened her mouth and then closed it, "Let me out of here because when Klaus realizes what you have done, he will come here and he will kill you and anyone that stops him from getting to me".
Damon shook his head in disbelief. He knew the witch was loyal to a default, but the way she was acting now, it unsettled him. It was as if she truly believed that Klaus loved her and that she cared deeply for him. This was deeper than he expected.
"I will be back…I will bring you some food", Damon replied starting to walk away.
"Let me out of here Damon", Bonnie called after him, "why are you doing this…let me out!"
Damon paused at the doorway towards the stairs listening to Bonnie scream at him. He had to admit, he felt kind of bad about locking the witch up, but the way she was acting…it was for her own good.
When he reached the top of the stairs, he heard a cell phone chiming from inside Bonnie's purse. He headed over and opened the purse and after being properly freaked out by a wayward tampon, he found her phone and could see a text message notification from 'Niklaus' following one missed call. Damon looked towards the door leading down to the basement and then back at the phone, opening the text message. 'Will be home soon, Love', it read. "Seriously?" Damon scoffed starting to delete the message, but stopping…he wasn't quite sure what Stefan's plan was beyond getting Bonnie away from Klaus, but they needed to keep Klaus at bay for just awhile longer.
Damon sighed as he looked down at the phone, 'I had to go to Maryland for a few days, the fam needs me…will call you soon', Damon texted. The fam? He figured that's how these teenagers communicated nowadays.
He put the phone down and then it beeped again, 'Where in Maryland?', Klaus texted back.
Damon rolled his eyes, 'I will be back soon'.
'When?' the text came back.
"Stalkerish much?" Damon mumbled as the phone began to ring. He couldn't answer it…he had to just ignore the call.
How did he let Stefan talk him into this?
SSSSSS
Klaus threw his phone down on the seat next to him, "Something is wrong…something is very wrong", he mumbled as Ronald looked in the rearview mirror at him.
"What do you mean Sir?"
"Bonnie…she won't answer my calls, she will only text me and tell me she's in Maryland with family…she never mentioned anything about that…", Klaus replied thoughtfully and then stopped, "turn the car around…"
"Sir…?"
"Turn the car around, we need to get back to Richmond and see exactly what is going on".
"Yes Sir", Ronald replied turning the car around and heading back to Richmond.
SSSSSS
Damon walked downstairs carrying a tray. Now, he was her waiter. This was getting ridiculous. "Ok…dinner time…", he called to her and paused in front of the door noticing that she was lying down on the cot with her back towards him.
He sighed as he opened the cell door and walked inside carrying the tray, "I suggest you wake up before whatever lives down here eats your food".
She didn't move.
"Fine…but I know you're not sleeping, usually if someone's asleep their breathing pattern changes…but continue in this charade if you want to", Damon sighed.
She didn't move.
"Ok, Bonnie suit yourself", he dropped the tray down on the table and started towards the door.
He put his hand on the doorknob and that's when he felt the prick in his back. He turned to see the witch standing behind him and he pulled the knife out of his back as she rushed past him and started up the stairs. He rushed after her and grabbed her around her waist, "You are really getting on my nerves!" he snarled as he carried her back to the cell as she screamed and fought him.
He placed her in the cell and slammed the door behind him, "Bonnie…you try that again and I will tie you up…I am only doing this because clearly you are thisclose to going off the rails!"
"You kidnapped me…drugged me…and took my powers away, you are not helping me!"
"Not helping you?" Damon raised an eyebrow.
"No…not helping me. I can make my own decisions, I don't need you telling me what to do or is it that I am not doing something that you all approve of…where is Elena…Caroline…do they know that you are doing this? Is this a way for you to get in Elena's good graces!"
Damon shook his head and pulled an old newspaper out of his back pocket, "Look at this!" he thrust the paper in her face, "do you think that you know everything now".
Bonnie looked at the newspaper clipping and it was a picture of Grayson, "What is this?" she asked taking the clipping out of his hands.
"Your boytoy from the club…the one who basically delivered you to Klaus was rewarded with being completely drained and dumped outside of Mystic Falls…who do you think did that, huh?"
"You?" Bonnie asked.
"Are you really that brainwashed…Klaus did this…he set you up and you fell for every single part of it…he had that warlock pick you up in a club and bring you right to him and look at you now…you think he's your savior, I guess he did a pretty good job on you".
Bonnie stared at the newspaper shaking her head, "Leave me alone".
"Do you see that I am only trying to…"
"Leave me alone!" Bonnie screamed turning her back to him.
"Bonnie…"
She walking away from the door and he could see her hand was shaking with the newspaper clipping. Damon closed his eyes and sighed, "I know how it feels", he said quietly.
She didn't turn to face him.
"I know how it feels to believe that someone actually wants you only to find out that they were using you, I'm sorry Bonnie".
Bonnie continued to face the wall as he headed away from the cell as she looked down at the newspaper clipping in her hand with tears falling distorting the words.
Sorry, it could not be that easy with Bonnie and Klaus…also we have to circle back to the beginning of this fic somehow.
In his weird way, Damon is trying to help Bonnie and I think towards the end, he kind of figured out that he can't continue to be mean.
Lastly, Bonnie…holding on tightly to the belief that Klaus cares about her…she will realize that his caring is not something she needs.
