Thanks to Damon and Bonnie staying up late talking about everything, Bonnie was running late to school. He woke up and made her breakfast, and she reveled in the treat.
Damon looked out to Bonnie as she was staring into nothingness. He just watched her big green eyes, cupped by her lashes. Her face as so delicate. He noticed when they used to date, she had this grace about her. With or without glasses, hair up or down, sleep or not. Her face looked like a woman who was a goddess, but didn't know it. She had the face of a humbled beauty. He stared at her, as he presumed she was staring at nothing.
Bonnie veered off, into the kitchen with her eyes. Yet her thought s went beyond that. Her visions trailed off around the corner of her Gram's refrigerator to the laundry room, and the doggy door. Blood, smeared on the kitchen floor. The blood of the animal she used her magic to throw into a tree. She used her magic to kill a beast that ended the night by saving her life. Her mind vividly remembers the vision he gave her. The vision he abruptly brought her out of once she was placed on the bed.
She still needed some accounting for done; the changing of her clothes, the Jimi Hendrix shirt of grams', that was mysteriously found, and the red mark on her inner thigh, near her lady bits. Why didn't that animal let her see past that point? Him and his golden eyes. She is then hit with a vision, from the first night she blacked out in the woods, when she punctured her rib cage, which was mysteriously wound free the next day. She had seen 'golden eyes.' She was waking out of consciousness on her bed, and there was a man, with said colored eyes, trying to wake her up.
(Flashback)
"Wake up, wake up."
Eyes flutter, confusion kicks in.
A dark figure hovers above the young witch. She can't tell, but it appears to be a tall masculine figure.
Seems as though he has been watching her. She reaches her hand out to touch him, and Golden orbs flash back at her.
She wants to be frightened, but she is speechless. She blinks and that quickly he's gone.
Blackness swallows her whole.
(End of Flashback)
She is immediately withdrawn from her memory senses when she realized, that the beast that had been spying on her WAS A MAN! Every hair on Bonnie's body rises against her will, giving her a chill that a stranger is out there, following her. What if he is there now? What if he is there every day? What does he want from her? Is he going to hurt her? Her veins start wiggling under her fingers, and her nerves get jittery and the second she snaps out of it, the green in her eyes sparkle and the first thing she focusses her attention on starts to catch fire.
Damon.
"Ahh, fuck! Bonnie! Damnit!"
"Oh my gosh Damon, I am so sorry."
"Then stop it, my fucking feet are on fire."
She runs and gets a kitchen towel and hits Damon's feet until the fire is put out.
"What in the hell Bon?"
"I Don't know, I can't control it, I have never done that before."
"Damnit. Am I safe around you little witch?"
She laughs. Uncontrollably. "I really do apologize. But I guess we are even for you sucking my blood."
Her blood, which by the way was still coursing through Damon's veins had Damon high this morning. He noticed her blood made him faster and stronger. He was going to pay attention to see how long that lasts, because he may just have to feed on her again. "I suppose so. I can help you. You know, while your grams is in the hospital."
"Help me what?"
"I can help you with channeling and spells. I have been around a while, and my mother is a witch."
"I thought your mother was dead?"
"She is dead. She's a witchpire."
"A what?"
"Never mind, I will tell you all about my wayward mother later on. Bon, we have a lot of work to do. Truth be told, at your tender age of power, you are more powerful than any witch at your age I have ever met. I can help you, and maybe I'll let you use my body for practice sometimes. So long as you don't set me a blaze again." He narrowed in on her and she smiled.
"Okay. I'd like that Damon. This is all still new to me. I can't believe you're so old. I dated an old ass man."
"Watch it little witch."
"She loved that nickname, little witch."
She finished eating and Damon drove her to school. Class started 28 minutes ago. Who did she think she was? Now she had a little power and she just wanted to act like a Primadonna and waltz into class late. Who cares? She thought, Mr. Chacon was half blind, and his bifocals were always sliding down his nose anyway. Chances are, he would never notice her stroll in late anyways. Although she was never late to history class, it was one of her favorite subjects. However, she was feeling herself today, and a little entitled. Plus, now that she knew Stefan was a vampire, she was going to be excited to see him in first period.
She opens the door and walks in, to her surprise, the man standing in front of the class is not Mr. Chacon. The man standing in front of the class, is a younger man. His strong facial features were chiseled beyond perfection and well defined. He had this old world beauty about him, but he was young. No more than 28 years old, she thought. The class for the first time is focused, and writing notes down ferociously. They look concerned for her well-being and she has no idea what she just walked in to.
Meanwhile in first period study English, Caroline is sitting next to Tyler discussing some notes on The Harlem Renaissance. The class has to compose a short scene from one of the literary works of Langston Hughes, and deliver it in front of the class as a group. They are grouped together for it, along with Matt and Elena.
"We only have three, obviously Elena isn't going to be here like always." Caroline says.
"She may show up Care, this is senior year. I'm sure she wants to graduate." Matt says, because he pacifies everyone.
"My ass." Caroline says.
"Caroline, that party this weekend was pretty crazy, huh?" Tyler mentioned.
"Yeah, sorry it ended so early."
"It is okay, any word on Bonnie?"
"Yeah, she was just scared, from what she saw."
"Did she tell you what she saw?" Tyler was really concerned, but it seems his concern went deeper than Bonnie.
"She won't really go into detail about anything. But she did say that she hopes Derek was okay. Is he?"
"He is. It was a bite, he is recuperating, he keeps asking about Bonnie."
"Yeah, she is okay. She just needs to deal with the trauma."
It was then that the two chatty teens noticed Matt's mouth drop open, and start attracting flies.
In she walked, her hair was no longer, long brown locks, but a deep red color, and pin, thin, straight. Her makeup was flawless, and she even winked at Tyler when she walked in.
"The fuck?" Caroline was annoyed.
She was wearing a teeny tiny Black shirt with long sleeves, with some skin tight, low rise, leggings, and some black boots. Her entire mid-drift was showing.
"That is against school policy." Caroline said loud enough for people to hear.
She looked at the teacher, rolled her eyes, then looked at the class and grinned like she was the 'queen fucking bee.' Caroline couldn't have that.
"Shopping at Hookers-R-Us?" Caroline asked.
"Your mom gave me a discount!" Elena said back to her.
"Bitch!"
"Thanks!" She smiled the most conniving smile a bitch could smile.
"Mr. Hamby, are you going to let her waltz in to class, number one, late; and number two; dressed against school policies?"
"I most certainly will not. Ms. Gilbert, you are to report to the office immediately and get a new shirt from the lost and found, or go home!"
Elena's wicked emissions did not stop at the condescending 'Thanks' she gave Caroline. She looked at the entire class and laughed.
"Really, that's all you got?"
She then looked at the teacher in the eyes, and said, "Dear, sweet, Mr. Hamby. Sexy, Adonis of a teacher, Mr. Hamby. You WILL let me stay in the class and finish the period out! And you Won't force me to change my sexy clothing either. Right?"
"Yes. Ms. Gilbert have a seat. Please be ready to work with your group. Caroline, Tyler, and Matt." He then smiled like a puzzled buffoon because he has no idea why he said it, but he did, and for some reason he couldn't unsay it.
Vampire compulsion is a bitch, like Elena.
The entire class looked at Elena in amazement.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Caroline blurts out in class.
"Ms. Forbes, that is going to result in immediate detention. Please go to the principal's office, now!"
"But Mr. Hamby-"
"Now. NOT. ANOTHER. WORD.!"
Just like that, Elena won!
Just like that, everyone wanted to be Elena's friend.
Elena, smiled devilishly, and realized how much she had been missing. Since Caroline Forbes took her best friend, she was going to take everything from Caroline. Starting with her popularity.
Both Tyler and Matt looked at the situation and thought it was messed up. But what could they do, they had a project to start?
"So guys, what'd I miss?" She asks grinning ear to ear.
"Excuse me!" The man says as he doesn't take his eyes off of the chalkboard. "Why do I feel as though the class has stopped taking notes? Did someone hear me say to stop taking notes?"
Stefan signals for Bonnie to hurry and take her seat, before the substitute turns around.
She looks at him confused but tip toes to her seat.
The class is immensely terrified in the faces as they watch her scramble, thus dropping her supplies on the floor and making a noisy mess.
Stefan tries to help Bonnie get her things together and he is warned. "Mr. Salvatore. You must want detention."
"Uh, No Mr. Mikaelson." He had academic decathlon practice afterschool.
"Then I suggest you let this young woman clean up her own mess." He speaks as if he is very distinguished, yet his cynical undertones are more than enough warning to hat she can expect once she finally sits down. She is avoiding eye contact, and keeping her head on the floor where her belongings are.
"It seems as though, you don't only want to be late to my class, but you also want to disturb the flow of the curriculum and the lesson by taking your sweet time cleaning up your clumsy mess." His voice continues to stalk her already embarrassed ego.
"No, sir, I am sorry!
"That you are! You have five seconds to get your things and sit down or I am dismissing you to detention."
"Two seconds."
By the time he is at one, she is in her seat, sitting, and he is standing directly next to her desk, peering down on her. Her eyes widen and she literally could hear a pin drop. HER pin.
She doesn't dare pick it up.
"Pick it up."
When she goes to pick it up, as she is coming back up, he slams his hand on her desk top.
Looks her square in the face and demeans her person.
"Listen, you insolent, excuse of a student; disrupting my class is the single biggest mistake you could have made today. Trickling in, as you please, not only amplifies your ignorance, but displays to your entire class the example I must set this day forward for disrespectful behavior." He looks out and projects to the class. "It is with great, dismissive, poignancy, that I must assign Ms. Bennett with a week of detention and a 1000-word paper on the Importance of Being on Time and a separate 1000-word paper on the Importance of Respect. DUE FRIDAY."
She almost wanted to cry. Bonnie was a good student, and she was typically quiet, and kept to herself. She had, literally, only three months left of high school. She got by without any trouble. Today, was the wrong day to let your ex-boyfriend cook you breakfast to apologize for all of his recent wrong doing. Her eyes glossed over a little, and she could have sworn that a small piece of Mr. Mikaelson felt bad for how he treated her. She sat there in complete shock, holding back tears. She just wanted the moment to end. Then he looks at her and says, "Still your notebook and pen are not out? Get out of my classroom. I'll see you this afternoon Ms. Bennett."
'How does he know my name?'
When Bonnie gets up, and musters through the embarrassment, she pushes everything into her backpack, and walks towards the door. When she turns the knob and heads out of the door, he calls to her.
"Ms. Bennett?"
"Yes, Sir?"
"Nice to meet you."
'Complete asshole.'
As soon as the thought comes from her head, he laughs maniacally, as if he heard her.
Two girls are sitting in the principal's office, and if not for having the other there, the two girls may have literally lost their minds. Caroline was fuming when she saw Bonnie in near tears.
"What the hell happened Bon?"
"The substitute teacher picked me apart in front of the entire class for being late, then embarrassed me and kicked me out."
"What? How is that legal? We can sue the school. I hate when teachers take their positions of authority and abuse their powers."
"Caroline, you should have seen his face. He enjoyed making me feel like gum on the bottom of his shoe."
"I can't believe it; we need to do something about him."
"You know what, oh well, I have detention all week plus two papers to write now, because of a substitute."
"Well, we will be in detention together if it makes you feel better."
"Now why are you going to detention, Oh ideal student?"
"Honestly, it is pretty screwed up. That Bitch Elena strolls into class after being gone a month, not only late but dressed against code. You know how Mr. Hamby is. He hates late students, and dress code violators. She was both. One minute he told her to get out and come to Mrs. Chase's office, the next she whispers sweet nothings in his ear, and he lets her stay in class. Damn near switches his mind in front of the whole class. When I raise a brow about it, I get sent instead."
"What? That doesn't even make sense."
"Bon, she laughed at the whole class, and made a joke of us all."
"That bitch!"
"To top it off, I have to spend the next two weeks with her working on the Harlem Renaissance project."
"Oh, right, I am so excited about that project. I have no idea who will be in my group yet." Bonnie says as she tried to forget about the BS. "Anyway, did she say or do anything to you specifically?"
"Matter-of-fact, she called my mom a hooker." Bonnie's green eyes sparked at the thought of Caroline's words. Elena came and embarrassed her friend in front of class and bested her for the sake of being a bitch. Bonnie knew what Elena was. Caroline didn't. It was up to Bonnie to set Elena straight. She was going to pull her aside and let her know to leave Caroline alone, and leave her out of their feud.
"I am going to deal with her Caroline."
"Bonnie, No! I can handle my own battles, especially with bitch face girls like Elena. Now she has this little following of minions, because of what happened. I want to strangle, her. So you don't need to fight my battles for me.
"The problem, is she started with you because of an issue she had with me. I can't have her being a bitch to you because she was a bitch of a friend to me, I won't let her get away with what she did to you. Trust me."
The girls met with Principal Chase and got off clean, this time. Simply because it was both of their first infractions. But they were let off with warnings not to be in there again or it could possibly result in suspension.
"Ms. Bennett, and Ms. Forbes, I want you both to live up to the standards your parents have set for you. I've been here since both of your parents attended school here, I never had a problem with any of them. Of course, as a teacher back then, but even though times have changed, the general consensus for respect still stands; students and staff alike. I expect better from you both."
"Yes Mrs. Chase."
"Okay, I don't want to see you back in my office. Good day."
"Good Day." In unison both girls shuffled out.
"I can believe it. Why do you think I stopped babying her?" Stefan says. "She has a bratty, self-righteous way about her. After a while it stops being cute, because she has to take accountability for not only her actions, but her age. I'm glad I got out when I did."
"Babe, you got out and got better." Caroline says as she kisses him.
"You guys are killing me."
"Oh, sorry Bon."
"No, I mean I am so happy. Seeing the two of you guys together makes me, happy. It is a breath of fresh air."
"If by fresh air you mean the polluted type." Elena, came out of nowhere with a small group of girls following behind her.
"Elena, to what do we owe this unwarranted surprise?" Stefan says through gritted teeth and a strained smile.
"Really Stef? It feels like just yesterday; you were kissing me. I mean, how do I taste Caroline?"
"Listen Bitch-" Caroline gets up to fire away, but she is stopped By Bonnie.
"Caroline, she doesn't deserve the time of day, don't get in trouble for her. Remember?" She points out because they just came from Chases office.
"Hmm. Keep telling her that, Bonnie. It won't stop the fact that she wanted everything I had, and went after it until she got it. My best friend, my boyfriend. You want my clothes too? Well, you probably can't fit those."
"You can't fit them either!" Caroline says.
Bonnie stood up and pulled Elena a few feet aside away from the group, she wanted to keep things civil for now, so she and Caroline could stay out of trouble with Principal Chase.
Bonnie spoke lowly into Elena's space, where Stefan and Caroline couldn't hear. Except Stefan used his vampire hearing to zone in on her words. "Elena, you have no room to talk chasing after Damon, even going through measures of getting attacked, to feign some eternity of servitude to him."
"The fuck Bon?"
"Oh yeah, didn't think I could figure you out? Better yet, thought your bond, YOUR FAKE SIRE BOND, to Damon, was stronger than anything that HE and I SHARE? Did you think, that something fake could form a stronger attachment than something natural?"
Elena looked at Bonnie in disgust, and murmured, "Let Damon make you believe something, boo. WE shared more than blood baby."
"I don't believe that, and I am going to let you go right now, before I lose my temper. Just so we are clear though, as a best friend, I loved you like a sister. Until you tried to take something that belonged to me."
"You are beginning to sound like a vampire, Bon. You might want to be careful before you end up dead like one."
"Elena, let's try this once more. Because that hair color has you dense as hell, right now. What Damon and I share is UNTOUCHABLE. Not one BEING, in this world can change that. Don't even let his name come out of your mouth again. Listen, you selfish, slut; unlike you, when I am loyal to someone, I am fiercely protective. You keep messing with that one over there," She turned and pointed to Caroline, "or even the one who's lap she is sitting on, I will see to it, you get what is coming to you."
Elena used her Vampire strength and turned Bonnie around slamming her into the lockers, "Let's try this one more time BON-NIE! I take what I want. I ask questions later. If I want Damon, I'll have him AGAIN! There is only so much you can do for him, VIRGIN!"
Bonnie green eyes sparked she looked at Elena, and said. "Fill her lungs, flood her tongue." And just like that, Elena's mouth flooded with blood and she began choking, and coughing up blood. "I said keep his name out of your mouth, bitch. Oh, yeah! I guess you're not the only one who's changed."
Elena choked on blood until Bonnie was out of sight. Caroline. "Bonnie, what the hell was that? You have some explaining to do." She ran after Bonnie, leaving Stefan in her dust.
Stefan realized something new about Bonnie, "Sheila was right!" He said to himself.
Elena runs to the bathroom, her minions follow her. She compelled them to forget what they saw. They stayed at her beck and call. She loved it, they pampered her and she was walking around like a princess with servants. As soon as she makes them give her their clothes, and fix her hair, she picks up the phone and dials to one of her brothers.
(Phone call)
"That Bitch made me choke on my own blood."
"She did it? I'll be damned!"
"What does that mean? You knew she had some type of powers?"
"Well, we weren't sure, but this sounds like our little witch is the real thing!"
"Wait, what? A witch? I can't be the last to know these things."
"You unfortunately, dear sister, are the last member of the family, so you will probably know everything last."
Elena huffed, she hated this initiating process, but she was willing to do it for what sat at the end of the rainbow for her.
"I need to figure out how untapped her potential is. She sounds simply marvelous."
"Hey, she is off limits. I can't have her ruining my plans. If you don't keep me up on plans, I swear I will kill her, and I won't do it for a sacrifice."
"The plan remains; Salvatore is getting too close. Stay on your job sis. Or you'll find yourself a little orphan Annie."
"If I didn't know better. I'd think you have a thing for her."
"Don't mind me, mind your renegade brother. He's obsessed. Just stay on my side, and we''ll be fine."
"Ugh! I hate this."
She pouts like a princess and hangs up.
DETENTION
Johnny – [here]
Andrew – [here]
Caroline – [here]
Killian – [here]
Bonnie [here]
"Good, all of you have accomplished being failures to your parents! Somehow you've gotten yourself into detention today, and you are lucky enough to be here with the most charming man this side of the Mississippi."
"Who are you?" Andrew asks.
"Interesting you should ask that? I am Mr. Mikaelson, the permanent substitute for Mr. Chacon, and now the Detention counselor, since Mr. Chacon ran detention also. Although, I probably won't do this for long, I have better things to do than sit with trouble makers."
Bonnie rolls her eyes.
"Is there a problem Ms. Bennett?"
"No, there won't be a problem as soon as Mr. Chacon is back soon."
"Aw, shucks, I forgot to mention, he had a little run in with a wild animal in the woods, he won't back!" He glares at her in such a despicably salacious way, she clenched on to her chest, and closes her open cardigan, and immediately feels uncomfortable. "The thing about those woods, I hear you never know what lurks out there, in the middle of nowhere. People better be careful." He continues taunted her with his words.
"So anyways, I need to counsel you all. We can do this one on one, or as a group. You vote. One on one?" He counts raised hands, "Group?" He counts again. "Ok, individual it is."
Bonnie and Caroline both wanted group, but were outnumbered by the guys in detention who preferred one on one.
He counsels the kids, and as soon as he does, he lets the individual go afterwards. Bonnie is last.
"Okay, Ms. Bennett, what can I do for you? You made a boo boo today, and now you need to discuss it with me, and let's figure out how you can fix it, and do better next time."
Bonnie sits unwilling to speak to the man who humiliated her.
"We can take as long as you'd like, I have all day."
"I thought you had better things to do?" She snipped at him.
"I'm doing them now." He winks at her
"How did you know my name?"
"I am all knowing."
"Can I leave?"
"No. You must be counselled first, love."
"I did nothing wrong. I refuse to sit here and allow you to make me feel a certain way about the way you treated me today."
"I make you uncomfortable Ms. Bennett, don't I?"
"You don't make me anything."
"You feel nothing, sitting here, alone in this room with me?"
"Nothing." She says with a straight face. "You can't be affected by something, if it means nothing to you."
"Haha. Is that so? The Student, teaches the teacher then, is it?
"I am a good student, I have never been late, you tried to humiliate me and break me today. You are just upset because it didn't work."
He stood up and stalked towards her. He was intimidating. He walked over to her desk and sat on it". The thing Ms. Bennett, is that, I am not Mr. Chacon. I am Mr. Mikaelson, you will be seeing a lot more of me. You have to adjust to me, because I am not the same teacher. Maybe you felt as though you have never messed up before, but even angels have fallen Ms. Bennett. In other words; In life, you may come into a situation, where things suddenly change, or the people around you are suddenly not the people that were always there. Your job is to be able to adapt to a circumstance, and not cry about it, but put on your big girl panties, and woman up." He looked at her like a piece of meat when he said that.
Something about the way is said 'panties', in the deep, accent.
"How about it Ms. Bennett, are you wearing your big girl panties?"
She feels his words penetrate here big girl area, then she feels uncomfortable. She jumps up and smacks his face.
"You disgust me!"
As swiftly as his face flew to his right, he remained with it in that direction laughing at her. He stood up and towered over her.
"I knew I made you feel something." He corners her, whispering, "I bet I make you feel a lot of things."
He lingers in her ear with his voice trailing off into warm breath on her neck.
She is breathing heavily.
"I need to leave."
He steps back, "Are you sure about that?"
She turns her head avoiding eye contact.
(Knock Knock)
"Bonnie, are you almost finished in there?"
"Can I go now?"
He moves aside and lets her walk, as soon as she gets to the door to leave, he calls to her. "Ms. Bennett?"
"Yes Sir?"
"Be on time tomorrow."
"Yes sir." She still had a week of detention to get through with this man. How the hell was she going to do it?
"I waited for you, I remember you said that guy was a dick to you?"
"Yeah he was."
"It got awful quiet in there, I was worried he was sucking your blood or something."
"What would make you think that?" a surprised Bonnie asked, knowing she was getting tired of keeping her secret from Caroline.
"It was a joke, funny Haha. Although, I feel as though I keep having dream of having my blood sucked, it's crazy. It is both scary and erotic, I can't explain it."
"Caroline, we need to talk this weekend okay?"
"Sure, everything okay?"
"Yes, I just need to open up to you about some things."
"Ok, of course Bonnie."
"Well, there is Damon. I've gotta go. I'll see you later. I know Stefan is a decathlon practice inside, so you should wait inside and not out here, okay?"
"Yeah, I just wanted to walk you out. Have fun visiting your grams today, I hope she is doing better."
"Thanks care." They hug and go their separate ways.
Damon gets out of his car and waits for Bonnie at the passenger side, she had never been happier to see his beautiful face then at that moment. She ran up to him and hugged him, embracing the feel of his body against hers. It feels better today than it has ever felt. She kisses him, and he knows not to take it too seriously, because she was very specific about the status of their relationship, but he couldn't be mad. He was willing to move at her pace.
After she pulled up from her kiss, he opened the door and let her in, and when he walked around to get in the car, she spotted Mr. Mikaelson, glaring at her from out of the detention hall window.
