Chapter 3: finale
Bonnie felt cold, for the past two days, she could hear Klaus, Caroline, Elena and Damon? Wow, she could hear him but she was trapped in this dark house with no light. She could hear noises outside. What was this strange place? She was horrified.
"Hey little witch…" She heard Damon's voice. She rolled her eyes. Did he come to annoy her?
"I wanted to tell you how sorry I am…I never realized that I was hurting you…I guess that when it comes to Elena, I did some pretty stupid things." Damon was looking at her still from on the bed.
"You're the best badass witch of all times, come on you can do it! Fight for your life Bonnie. We are all waiting for you! Even that crazed out hybrid. I don't know what you see in him, maybe his pretty hair and all. I never got to say this but thank you for saving me…I am not worth much I know but thank you. Maybe we could even be…friends when you come back." He chuckled. "Well I'll leave you now…we are all trying to get you back and we will, even if it kills us. You will know that you matter to us." He stood up to leave.
From where she was, she couldn't see anything but she could hear him. She was touched that Damon said all those things to her. He sounded sincere and sad. And then his voice stopped.
"No no no no, come back! Talk to me!" She cried and cried but didn't hear anything.
Klaus went back to his mansion. Someone was going to pay!
"Kol!" He yelled when he stepped into his study.
"No need to scream brother, I can hear you perfectly." He strolled with his usual smirk.
"Do you have what I asked?" He asked impatiently.
"Oh I do…" He snapped his fingers and a girl no more than seventeen entered the room with a scared expression. She had pale skin with wild red hair.
"Darling, this is my brother Klaus. And Klaus, this is Cassandra." Kol made the introduction.
"I asked you for information brother, not a blood bag!" Klaus scowled. Kol's smirk turned into a genuine smile.
"Oh but that is what I did, Cassandra here is a blood bag with information." He sat and gestured Cassandra to stand in front of his brother.
"I am listening and you better not lie. I will kill you. When it comes to my better half I. Never. Joke." The girl nodded furiously.
"I_i am a witch…I am the one who performed the spell on the Bennett witch." She stammered but Klaus said nothing.
"It is an ancient spell that takes life away from within slowly to allow it to be replaced by another life."
"Like possession?" He enquired.
"At first, that is what it is but after a while…it becomes death. The person is trapped between life and death but the more they stay in that state, the more, they are dragged to the other side until they die and come back as the other one." She said, eyes cast on the floor.
"How do we break the spell?"
"I don_ I don't know…" She started crying.
"Fine. Kol, kill her." He said dismissively.
"What? But I just bought this jacket!" Kol said annoyed, but he stood up and made his way toward the traumatized girl.
"Wait!" She cried frantically. "There is a stone that breaks the spell! But it has to be a witch from her own line to undo it!"
"Well, this is going somewhere after all. Talk."
"I_the stone it's in Africa, I can show you where." She said.
"Better yet, you can tell us."
"No, otherwise you will just kill me!" She cried.
"Sweetheart, I will kill you anyways for you have performed the spell on the wrong witch!"
"It's not my fault! I_ I, her grandmother is the one who sent my father, Matthew Blackwell, to hell! He just wanted to conquer the world!" She cried.
"He just? I am sorry but you have skipped the part where your father actually tried to spell the entire world to be his playground?" Kol said.
"Okay, so your father was crazy. Well, I guess it didn't turn well for his offspring either. Why Bonnie?"
"I want my father to come back and since it was a Bennett witch who sealed him away, he can only return through a Bennett witch."
"Yeah and only a Bennett witch can send him back. Sweet heart, I don't know if you have noticed but you seem to be the key to my problem and solution. Either way, your father will die. Even if you don't help get Bonnie back, I will decapitate his head personally the moment he opens his eyes." Klaus was not smiling anymore and Cassandra was even more scared.
"So I ask you to choose. Either, you help and live or you don't and die. Either way, your father won't make it."
"I'll go with you…but she doesn't have much time, only two more days to the full moon…after the two days, she will be dead and he will resurrect the following day…" She trailed off.
"Well, then you have two trial days. Because if she happens to die, you die. Brother, pack up. We're leaving right now. Let's just hope we make it back on time. And get Rebekah too." Klaus dragged the girl with him.

Tension was high in the small room that Bonnie was into. She looked like corpse and no one had the courage to even leave her for a second. Damon didn't want to talk to Elena but was glad that his brother had some consideration. He was standing in the corner.
"So…if they don't find the stone and are not back on time…we have to cut her head off?" Caroline chocked and Stefan took her in his arms.
"Well, he did say that that wrench of a witch said it was the only way because her deadbeat father wouldn't completely be human but something else that I didn't catch. We have to get Lucy." Damon said seriously. This was a nightmare. He went to his car, in hope to find Lucy. Elena proposed to go but one glare silenced her.
Bonnie was getting weaker and weaker, she couldn't hear the other side anymore. She couldn't even stand. What was going on?
One day had passed and still nothing, Caroline was losing hope when Damon came with Lucy who ran straight to her cousin.
"Well now the ball is in Klaus' corner." Damon said. Waiting was the worst part.
"She is dying today, isn't she? Klaus failed…" Elena said. The hybrid hadn't been in touch since the past day. Surprising everyone, Stefan squeezed her hand gently.
"Let us not give up yet." He said.
"It's kinda hard to imagine a world without her…she was a real pain but she was part of us." Damon said.
"I can't believe that she's gonna go like this…I still love her…" Jeremy cried.
"Come on baby gilbert, you can hold my hand." Damon said in a fake sweet voice.
"Just cut it out Damon, can you not just shut up even in this moment?" Matt said annoyed.
"But you wouldn't love me." Damon pouted and the rest decided to ignore him.
Three hours later…
"I knew we shouldn't have trusted him!" Jeremy said.
"You're just saying that coz judgey has the hots for Klaus." Damon said. The younger Gilbert was starting to get on his nerve. He had spent the last two hours complaining. He just felt like draining him dry.
"Jer, just stop ok." Even Elena was annoyed. Heck, everybody was.
"Well, not to be the bearer of bad news…but the moon is almost high in the sky…She will die soon." Stefan's heart broke. He stood up and left the room, slamming the door. How could the world be so cruel and take away his only true friend? He wouldn't stay and watch her die, no, he couldn't.
Caroline and Elena started crying silently while Lucy seemed to be frozen in place. Memories were going in their heads.
Jeremy remembered their first kiss.
Caroline and Elena remembered their pre vampire days while Damon refused to remember anything. No, he wouldn't say goodbye yet. It wasn't time.
Matt remembered how protective of him she was always. Probably because he was the only human in their group.
Stefan was outside, breathing hard. It was strange that all he could feel was anger. Why her?
"Hey…" Elena said in a small voice.
"Hey…" he didn't have the strength to tell her to go.
"I can't believe that she is going! I have been such a selfish friend! And now she'll never know how sorry I am. For everything." She wiped her tears.
"Bonnie always loved you."
"I know and I also loved her_ no love her. I am going to talk to Damon." She said quietly.
"About what?" Stefan asked.
"The three of us…my mistake was to have feelings for the both of you. I am sorry I hurt both of you. But it's time that I let go…of you two. This situation isn't going anywhere. Maybe someday, someplace else but for now, it's just too much." She kissed his cheek and walked back in. Stefan felt strangely at peace with her decision, maybe it was time that they all moved on. He followed.
"I_ I can't feel her heart beat…" Damon said in denial.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Caroline cried out and Stefan held her back.
"She can't be gone! I refused to believe it!" Jeremy cried and cradled her limp body.
"Witchy please, wake up and tell us that the joke is on us!" Even Damon let out few tears.
"Bonnie, please…" Matt sobbed quietly while Lucy was shaking her desperately.
"Bonnie…" Elena just sat on the floor, frozen.
About an hour later, everyone was stone quiet looking at her dead body. Black veins had started to form under her pale skin all over body.
"So…it has begun…" Caroline cried softly.
"Who…who is_ " Elena couldn't even finish her sentence. She couldn't.
"I'll do it." Damon said his undead heart clenching in his chest.
"No…I am a Bennett. It is my duty. It is what she would have wanted." Lucy cried, clutching onto Damon's arm.

An hour later, that is exactly how Klaus, Kol, Rebekah and Cassandra found them. All frozen, looking at the veins forming under her pale skin.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Klaus roared, rushing to Bonnie's side. He tried to shake her but nothing happened. He had failed her. In all his terror and power, he had never felt more helpless.
"Where have you been?" Damon asked quietly, too quietly.
"Don't!" He started.
"Yes, because we had to watch her die. You know." Stefan said.
"Please, not now! We did our best but the little wrench there tried to double cross us." Rebekah pushed Cassandra forward who looked pleased.
"You will never bring her back, it has started already."
Caroline backhanded her with such force that she broke her nose.
"AGGGHHHH!" The girl cried out, nursing her bloody nose.
"You feel pain? You haven't seen anything yet. Now hand over the ritual." Kol snatched it from her hands.
"It's too late!"
"Oh shut up you prick, I could just kill you for breathing, you're so annoying!" Damon complained.
While Lucy started reading the old ritual with the stone placed on Bonnie's chest, the room suddenly began to shake. All of them were thrown backward by such a strong force that they almost passed out.
"You fools! You thought you could vanquish me?" Bonnie's body sat up on the bed and a strong wing blew around making it hard for Lucy to carry on.
"Go to Lucy!" Klaus ordered all the vampires who nodded in agreement. It was hard, with objects flying around and the wind restricting their moves. Lucy was currently stuck to the wall, the wind blocking her movements.
"Stefan, Elena! Get her legs! Kol and I will get her arms! Rebekah and Caroline, get Jeremy and Matt out of here!" Damon yelled.
"YOU CAN'T ESCAPE!" Bonnie's body laughed. Klaus seized the opportunity to jump on him and wrestle him. He finally pinned him down.
"Bonnie I know you're still there, you can't die now! I love you!" Klaus yelled.
Her eyes momentarily changed back to green.
"Klaus…" She whispered, confused. But it soon changed back.
"NOOOOOOOO!" Bonnie's body pushed Klaus back. "BONNIE IS DEAD AND SOON SO WILL YOU!" The strange voice said.
"Lucy! She's still in there! Finish the ritual!" Klaus yelled.
Cassandra sped to stab Lucy but was stopped by Kol snatched her heart out while her body fell with a heavy thud and was tossed by the wind.
"Gee, I've dreamt of doing that ever since I met her." Kol tried to grin.
Klaus was still struggling with Bonnie's body when Lucy finished the ritual. But before then, Matthew gave Klaus an evil smile and stabbed Bonnie's body in the stomach. Her body suddenly collapsed, all black veins disappearing. At once, the wind seized and everyone gathered around her. Klaus carried her body to the bed and everyone left him for a minute. Sobs racked his body.
"What am I supposed to do? I…I am an immortal and I am going to have to leave with this for the rest of…eternity? I failed you Bonnie, I promised to love you but all I did was hurt you! Come back please, come back to set me on fire and give me aneurisms…" He smiled through his tears. "Do you think it was a coincidence that I chose you over Stefan? No! I wanted you! You intrigued me! And now…you are gone…what can I do? Tell me and I'll do it…" He kissed her cold lips. "I guess, I am no prince charming." He chuckled. He just stayed there and held her hand.
Downstairs was quiet; they all sat quietly, not even crying. Klaus came back down and Rebekah rushed to hug him.
He pushed her away quietly and went outside.
Elena was the first one to speed upstairs. The rest soon followed. They all just kept quiet. Klaus came back in the middle of the night and asked everyone to leave him alone in the room. He looked so broken that no one had the heart to argue.
He took out a small beautiful diamond ring. He slid it on her finger.
"You would make a stunning bride you know…before you left…I was going to give this to you…as a pledge of my love…well, since I will always love you…it's only befitting that I should give to you…it's yours…" He voice broke. "I wouldn't be able to give you everything you want but I'd sure spend all my life trying. You didn't deserve this. To me, you're the one. No other will ever compare you…" He kissed her hand. He felt it move. He was dismissed it as his imagination but she full on grabbed his hand.
"Klaus…" She said in a small voice.
"Bonnie? It's you! You're back!" He watched her open her green eyes.
"Yes…"
"How can it be?"
"I don't know…"
"I am so sorry love!" He cried and pulled her in his arms.
"Klaus." She breathed.
"I love you so much Bonnie, I thought that I lost you!"
"You will never lose me, not once." He cupped her face and kissed her with all the love he could muster.
"Gee, witchy, hardly back and already playing the naughty patient? Never pegged you for a freak." Damon smiled, genuinely from the doorway.
"As much as it strange, I missed you… and Damon?"
"Yes?"
"We can be friends." They both shared a look. His was one of realization and hers was one of happiness.
