Baby S

Chapter Seven

He felt sick to his stomach, he stared at the dead body of the girl that he had just been forced to kill. He could feel the wetness of her blood coating his chin as he crouch in the corner of his room as far away from the body as he could get, too afraid that he might lick the floor like a child licking their plate after a delicious meal. "I see you've finished." he looked up and saw Klaus standing in the doorway two of his henchmen by his side.

"Fuck you." Stefan growled out his speech slightly slurred because his incisors were still out. Klaus smiled at him then and walked into the room. He moved over to the girl and kicked her leg once.

"At least you finished your meal," he studied the girl's neck and released a low whistle. "And I see you've given into your inner ripper. Have you looked at your work? Such a gruesome scene." he mumbled shaking his head. "But I do love it that you go absolutely crazed now. . .no holding back your inner nature. I would think you'd appreciate the freedom." He looked over at Stefan waiting for him to say something more. "I see you're giving me the silence treatment. No ranting and raving about how you'll tear me apart. I guess you feel nothing needs to be said since you think your brother is looking for you."

"He is." Stefan mumbled with a growl.

"If he was, he would have found you by now." Klaus said lying through his teeth. "I can only imagine what he's doing instead. . .or perhaps the phrase more appropriate would be who he's doing instead." Stefan growled something out and clutched at his head as the warlock beside Klaus started feeding him images of Damon and Elena. They had been doing so for months now, the images were always centered around the two of them in bed having sex and sometimes the images centered around them just being together with the rest of the gang. All of it made him absolutely sick.

"That's not real."

"How would you know? She is related to Katherine. . ." Klaus murmured trailing off not needing to say anymore, he was sure his point was coming across loud and clear. "You can stop now Dante, I think he's gotten the message." He looked again at Stefan and smiled as he saw the younger vampire's eyes completely blackened. "Magnificent, give him the next victim." he murmured before turning around and walking out of the room leaving Stefan behind. He barely saw Dante shoving in a dark haired man that resembled Stefan's brother, but he quickly made a mental note to see just how badly Stefan tore apart his body. He heard footsteps coming up behind and turned and saw Dante. "What is it?" Dante clutched at his skull and looked at Klaus.

"That damn Bennett is trying to break in again." Klaus studied him for a moment before shaking his head.

"Handle it like last time." Dante nodded and began to walk off, Klaus watched as he headed down the hall, no doubt going to see about the other witches that worked under him. Nothing about this alarmed Klaus. This was how the little Bennett witch was handle last time, they had almost killed her but Dante had told him how she was pulled out right before the deed had been done. What did alarm Klaus though was when Dante collapsed the ground shaking from what seemed to be seizure as blood began pooling from his mouth and splattering the floor and nearby wall. Rushing over, he began shouting out commands, as he went to see if Dante could be saved.

Bonnie gasped as she jerked out of the trance with Klaus' location. She looked over at Samil who had come out of the trance as well. He was breathing deeply and looked down at the ground completely shaken. "Did you get it? Or did they kick you two out?" Damon said as he walked over near Bonnie who looked up at him.

"No we got the location." Bonnie whispered, all around the room she saw everyone releasing a sigh of relief.

"Where then?" Damon said wanting to go out right then and get his brother. He couldn't wait another minute. He wanted Stefan as far away from Klaus as possible, it was his turn to protect his brother and he was going to do it.

"They're in a safe house in Maryland," Samil said softly as he reached into his pocket for a pen. "Let me write down the address." While he was doing that, Caroline walked over to Bonnie and gave her a fierce hug.

"Are you alright?"

"My shirt's not soaked in my blood." Bonnie said softly. "That's a good sign."

"Answer the question, Bonnie."

"I'm fine. . .I think it's the witches on the other end who aren't alright." Caroline's eyebrows rose in shock as she looked at her friend.

"What are you talking about?"

"Well when we broke in, they tried to attack us like they did me last time. They even taunted us but Samil," she paused and looked over at him as he spoke with Damon about something. "He protected us and I think he killed them."

"Of course he would protect you and himself, Bonnie. Those witches would have killed you both if he hadn't."

"But he told me that he wasn't that skilled."

"Skills aren't power." Caroline stated wisely, "You're strong too and before you began mastering your witchcraft it was wild too." Bonnie looked up at Caroline and nodded her head, she remembered that carwash when she had set a car on fire just by staring.

"You're right, Care-bear." Bonnie whispered as she patted Caroline's arm while sighing.

"Of course I am." Caroline said with a small smile. "Now all we have to do is get too Stefan and get him away from Klaus."

"Maybe we should so with you." Bonnie stated, Caroline opened her mouth to say more but Damon cut her off.

"No you've done enough, Bonnie. We're just gonna go and get Stefan nothing else. We won't fight Klaus, we'll just get Stefan the hell out of there." he said gently as he placed a hand on Bonnie's shoulder. "Thank you." he whispered sincerely before turning to Caroline who was standing off the side watching them.

"Come on Blondie. . .I hope you can keep up. This is gonna be a quick extraction and I don't need you slowing me down." Caroline only gave him a look and he took off with her running after him. Samil blew out a breath as they went out the door with a slam. Elena got up and went over to him and clutched his hands.

"Thank you so much for your help." Samil looked down at her and cracked the tiniest smile and nodded his head.

"You're welcome I'm happy I could help Bonnie with this." Elena nodded and then moved over to Bonnie and with a squeal of absolute happiness wrapped her arms around her friend and hugged her tightly.

"Bonnie thank you so much. . .I knew you'd find him, I just knew it." Bonnie nodded her head and hugged her friend back.

"Stefan's a friend, I wouldn't have stopped looking for him." She glanced over at Samil and slowly moved away from Elena. "Do you want me to walk you out?"

"I guess if you don't need me to stay."

"There's no telling what type of condition Stefan might return in. I think he might be better off with people around who he's familiar with." Samil nodded his head at that but sighed.

"I don't like that but I guess I'm gonna have to trust you." he murmured softly. Bonnie just nodded her as she looked up at him.

"Let me walk you to the door." As they left the living room and headed towards the front door, Samil looked down at Bonnie and sighed.

"Did I do something during that-whatever it was?" he asked waving his hand around nervously as he looked at her. Bonnie bit her lip and looked up at him causing him to sigh aloud. "Tell me please, I felt like I did something."

"You killed the witches trying to block us from finding their location, Samil." His eyes widened in shock at her words and he shook his rapidly from side to side in disbelief. "I know it's surprising but you have to keep in mind that they would have killed us if we didn't strike first. . .but how did you do it."

"I don't know. . .I just didn't want you to suffer like you did earlier this week." he stated sincerely, "That's all I was thinking about and then why they taunted you with that I guess I sort of snapped or something." Bonnie watched him silently before sighing.

"Thank you for protecting me back there then."

"You're welcome, Bonnie. Just know that, that's all I want to do." With that said, he opened the door and stepped outside. "I hope they find Stefan in good health. . .if you need me again, don't hesitate to call." he said as he pulled out a card and handed it to her. He waited till she took it before saying. "I think it's time we moved to the exchanging of personal contact information phase don't you think." Bonnie only smiled as picked up a pen from the hall table and wrote down her number on the top edge of the car and tore it off. Samil took it and slipped it into his pocket.

"Don't you want me to drive you back?"

"It's a nice afternoon. . .I think I'll walk." he called back. Bonnie watched until he turned and started walked down the street before closing the door and stepping back inside. She saw Elena standing in the hallway watching her.

"I see you've made a friend."

"He's a nice guy." Bonnie replied softly as she turned to look at her friend. Elena nodded her head at Bonnie's statement.

"You're right he is. After all he did help us find Stefan." She gave Bonnie a wide smile then, "I can't wait to see him again." Bonnie smiled at Elena and nodded her head in agreement, she couldn't wait to see her friend again.

"Me and you both."

Stefan stopped staring at the lifeless body that he had just drained as heard screaming from outside his cell. Glancing over at the three vampires that Klaus had told to watch him, he could see them jumping slightly every time a scream ripped through the air. It seemed that Bonnie and Damon were coming for him finally. He couldn't imagine anyone else coming to his rescue that could cause this type of reaction. "Don't their screams terrify you?" he asked bluntly as he wiped a hand over his face in an attempt to clean up before his brother and Bonnie came crashing into the room. He didn't want to scare them by making them think he had gone off the deep end. The biggest one who he secretly called Dumbass, turned to look at him while squaring back his shoulders while frowning.

"Shut-up Salvatore." he growled out, the sound coming from the pit of his stomach. Stefan didn't know how old the vampire was but he was sure that if he provoked Dumbass into a fight it would help Bonnie and Damon in the long run. Besides he felt like he could take the guy especially with all the fresh human blood currently coursing through his system. Sitting back on his hunches, he just looked at Dumbass and sent him a small smile.

"How about you make?" Stefan watched as Dumbass took a step forward while the other two vampires, Dumb and Dumber tried to stop him.

"You know what the boss says." Dumber pleaded as he latched an arm around his friend to pull him back. Dumbass continued to glared at him just as the large metal door, the only entrance to the room, shifted and bend forward as if someone punched it. They all shifted their gazes towards the door as it crashed to the floor and a man entered the room. All three vampire guards turned and watched as the man stepped into the room. Stefan's eyes swept over the man as he came into the room. He was of average height and not overly muscular. Pushing himself up off the ground, Stefan readied himself for a fight. He knew the man wasn't apart of Klaus' men. Although he was willing to fight, Stefan truly felt like running the moment he got a look into the man's eyes and saw that the man was looking at him as well. "Who are you?" Dumbass shouted as he balled up his fist. The man stepped further into the room and shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't introduce myself to dead men." he murmured softly as he walked towards the three vampires. He only stopped when the three of them had formed a makeshift semi-circle, then the man lifted his hands up into the air and clasped them. He bowed slightly and then righted himself just as Dumbass rushed forward screaming out to the others to kick this guy's ass. Although, Stefan was pretty sure things were going to go differently. He watched as the nameless man stepped back just as Dumbass and Dumber charged forward. Dumber threw a punch that the man easily dodged while catching Dumbass' leg that would have kicked him in the knee. Stefan watched as the man kicked Dumber in the chest sending him crashing into the wall. Using the same leg, the man slammed his foot down on Dumbass' extended leg. Stefan flinched as he heard the sickening crack and saw the man's leg shift into an impossible angle. The man then released Dumbass and moved onto the other two, who stepped back momentarily to afraid to come forward and fight.

Stefan watched from the back of the room as Dumber gathered up enough courage to charge forward, he ran at the man with his fist drawn back while yelling out what Stefan could only describe as a war cry. The man easily blocked Dumber's fist and in the same motion smacked his elbow into Dumber's nose. Blood squirted out as Dumber cried out in pain but the man wasn't finished with him yet. He grabbed Dumber's arm and twisted it behind his back while pressed his head down so he could slam his knee into his face. Then he curled his other hand around his neck and slung him away. Once the body landed on the floor, Stefan knew the vampire's neck had been snapped. The last vampire rushed him, trying to kick him, like Dumber had attempted to do earlier, but the man merely caught his leg and flipped him onto his stomach and then slammed his foot into his lower back, a fist into the middle of his spine and then an elbow near his neck. The man stepped away as his last vampire cried out in pain while weakly trying to squirm away and only then did Stefan realize that the man had been paralyzed. Stefan lifted his gaze from the man and almost yelled out when he realized the man was now standing in front of him. Before he could say anything the man reached out with a snake like quickness and wrapped his hand around his throat.

So you are Stefan Salvatore." Stefan opened his mouth to reply but felt a tinge of pain and then everything for him blacked out.

Bonnie and Elena were sitting in the living room both of the eagerly awaiting Stefan's return when Bonnie's cell phone went off. Elena looked over at her as she pulled out her phone. "Who is it?" Bonnie stared at the screen in confusion before waving off Elena and standing up.

"Sheriff Forbes?"

"Bonnie thank goodness I was able to reach someone, there's a problem." Bonnie raised an eyebrow at that and looked once again at Elena.

"What it is? What's going on?" She heard Sheriff Forbes issuing out orders to some of her officers before speaking. She could hear the panic and uncertainty in the older woman's voice. Whatever was going on was bad.

"There's been a vampire attack and it's worst than anything I've ever seen." The older woman replied. "Where are Damon and Stefan? My daughter?" Bonnie knew what Sheriff Forbes was getting at. Shaking her head, she spoke up quickly.

"They're not in Mystic Falls right now. . .they left to go and take care of a problem." Bonnie winced as the older woman cursed over the line. "I can handle it just tell me where the attack took place."

"It was by the Grille." Sheriff Forbes replied softly, Bonnie nodded her head then and looked over at Elena who was watching her.

"Alright I'll be there soon." Hanging up the phone, she looked over at Elena. Her friend didn't even have to voice her question. "There was a vampire attack over at the Grille. I'm gonna go and check it out."

"Maybe you should call Damon and Caroline so they can come back and help."

"You and I both know they're number one concern is getting back Stefan. They won't come back, not until they have him." she replied softly as she looked at her friend. "Don't worry though I can handle this." Elena nodded as Bonnie picked up her jacket and left. Bonnie quickly made her way outside the Salvatore Manor and froze at the threshold. Standing out in the driveway was Stefan Salvatore, the streetlight allowed her to see him fully and what she saw chilled her to the bone. His shirt was soaked through with fresh blood and his chin was covered in it as well. The look in his normally caring eyes seemed crazed. . .manic.

"Oh my God. . .St-Stefan." he took a step forward then and gave her a weak smile. As Bonnie looked at him she didn't know whether to run or stay there for her friend.

"Hello Bonnie." he whispered before collapsing on the ground, Bonnie stood there for a moment in shock, she knew that Stefan was the attacker, she could figure that out by the fresh blood on his clothing.

"Elena!" she called out as she rushed down the stairs to get a look at Stefan, she turned him over and lightly touched his shoulders trying to shake him back to consciousness but nothing work. She barely turned around as she heard the shrill cry of Elena who rushed down the stairs to be at Stefan's side.

"Bonnie what. . .what happened?" Nibbling on her bottom lip at her friend's question, Bonnie looked at Stefan and then over at Elena.

"We're just gonna have to wait for him to wake back up before telling us." she reached into her pocket and pulled out her cell phone. "Here call Damon and Caroline and tell them to come back. . .tell them we have Stefan."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm taking Stefan down to the cellar." she said standing up, she quickly chanted and Elena watched as Stefan's body was lifted up by Bonnie's magic. Reaching out, she laid a hand on Bonnie's arm.

"Why are you taking him down to the cellar, Bonnie?"

"In case you didn't realize it yet, that isn't animal's blood on him. It's human blood." With that said, Bonnie pulled her arm away from Elena and walked into the Manor. Elena watched as Stefan's body followed behind her. Looking down at the cell phone in her hands, she awkwardly opened it and dialed Damon's number. Standing up, she quickly ran into the house and closed the door.

"Elena why are you calling me?" Damon asked as soon as he answered the phone, "We're almost there I don't have time to-."

"Stefan's here!" she rushed out quickly. "He's here."

"What! How is that-."

"I don't know just get back here." The phone cut off and Elena knew that he was coming back, setting the phone down on the corner table, she hurried down to the cellar to see what Bonnie was currently doing with Stefan.

"Are you sure he won't hurt Bonnie?" Sovann asked as he followed Samil into the only office located in their shop. Samil didn't say anything as he circled around the desk and took a seat in the high back chair.

"Am I detecting a crush?" he asked in amusement as he looked at his right hand man, Sovann's mouth dropped open at Samil's words. "It's alright you know. . .I plan to give her over to you once I finish." Sovann frowned at his words and shook his head. "Don't worry I won't touch her in that way if that's what you're thinking."

"Samil. . .all I want to know is will Stefan hurt her."

"I compelled him, Sovann. Or do you not trust my abilities?" Sovann's mouth dropped open in shock as he realized just how close he was to upsetting his master, which was something anyone who had knowledge about Samil's true identity did their best to avoid doing. Shaking his head, he settled back in one of the chairs that faced Samil.

"I'm sorry but an enraged vampire on a human blood splurge is a dangerous thing for such a young witch to fight or to handle." Samil rolled his eyes at Sovann's worry, the man's crush on Bonnie was to sweet. It made his hands itch to do devious things just so he wouldn't have to think about Sovann or his crush.

"He won't harm her. . .that's a fact."

"Of course, I was just worried." Samil sent Sovann a cold smile and nodded his head as he leaned back.

"Of course you were, you know if I had the slightly clue that you would have developed this crush just by showing her around the store. . ." he trailed off and shrugged his shoulders but sent Sovann a knowing look. Sovann knew what he meant, he would have made Sovann kill her friends creating yet another reason why he would eventually end up in hell and then he would have turned Bonnie. That was how Samil's mind worked. If he wanted even the slightly bit of happiness, Samil would make him do a whole lot of evil before giving it to him. Sighing, he opened his mouth to say something else but Samil held up a hand to silence him. "Whatever you have to say can wait until after our visitors have left." Sovann turned and saw Klaus and a few of his men standing in the doorway of the office. Samil most have known they were coming otherwise they would have met them at the front door. Sovann looked over at Samil and saw the frown that was currently marring the man's face as he looked at Klaus standing there. "Is there some reason why you've decided to come here, Klaus?" Sovann watched as the original entered the room and slammed his hands on the edge of Samil's desk. Denting the wood and making the desk dip underneath the intense pressure. Samil for the most part just sat back and watched as Klaus raged.

"You know damn well why I'm here. I should have known you'd do something after you came to visit me. Why did you send your dog to get Stefan and why did you allow that Bennett witch to kill my people?" he shouted out angrily. Samil's eyes narrowed into thin slits as he slowly stood up from his chair.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that we question our betters in this time period." Samil growled out angrily as he looked over at Sovann, who immediately stood up ready to enact any instruction that Samil gave him. Klaus nervously licked his lips and stepped back from the desk obviously aware of the pain that Samil was promising him in one cold look. "Now Klaus I'm a kind man so sit down and try to voice your questions again. . .this time do it in a much more respectful tone." Klaus stared at him for a moment before slowly sitting down.

"Why did you do it?" he simply asked, Samil smirked at Klaus and leaned forward.

"Because I fucking wanted too. Now as for reasons, I did it because the 'Bennett witch,' as you have titled her has gained my interest. She's a spitfire and I've never seen anything like it before. Now you would do well to find yourself another hobby other than trying to kill her cause that pleasure is exclusively mine. However I can think of a few things that I want you to do and I will contact you later on when those things become a bit clearer. Now please leave my office and this store before I decide to go ahead and end your miserable life." Klaus rose from his chair and nodded his head, he could feel the power within Samil bubbling beneath the surface. He made a motion to his men and then they all quickly left. Samil waited till he heard the door slam before releasing a deep sigh. Sovann waited till he heard the front door of the shop slam shut before looking back at his master who had a wide grin on his face.

"How many of his men did you kill?"

"I didn't kill them."

"Just seriously injured them than. . .did you enjoy yourself." Sovann thought about denying the statement but decided against it. Samil knew him and he already knew that Sovann always loved moments where he could fight with abandon.

"Yes sir I did." he murmured softly as he sat back down in his chair while looking at his master. "Samil there's something I have to ask you?"

"What is it, Sovann?"

"Are you sure you about all of this?" Samil settled back in his chair and leaned back while rubbing his hands together while a smirk slowly went across his face.

"Of course I am. Let me have my fun, Sovann. I haven't toyed with people like this in centuries." he murmured softly. "Doing things like this brings back so many memories."
