A/N: It's been too long I know. I'm sorry. First, I got busy with school and everything. Second, I wrote and thought about at least 3 versions of this chapter. So don't say I didn't try now. This is the final version that I'm presenting you with. In previous version there was slightly smaller Klaus/Bonnie interaction and there were bunch of smaller parts from more different characters, but I wasn't feeling it. I had to go with my gut and re-write it all today and give it to you this way. I hope you like it.
Thank you for all the wonderful comments, alerts and favorite stories. I especially enjoyed reading all the long comments of those who analyzed and shared their opinion on characters and their actions. Thank you very much for that and keep them coming. They're writer's biggest joy.
Gosh I wish writing fanfiction was payed job so I wouldn't have to worry about school and stuff. (Is my wish to be a writer too obvious?) Here you go, for all my lovely readers, eight chapter.
R&R
CHAPTER 8 In For The Kill
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
Caroline wasn't perceived as smart most of the time and she was okay with that perception of herself. Truth was she oftenly blinked her pretty eyes and boys would do as she pleases, almost like it's some sort of magic. She rarely did her school work, before when she was human, it was her good looks and incredible talent to flirt, which seamed so surpising considering what her mother was like. But Caroline knew she wasn't dumb, especially when I came to people, sure she was more naive and junvinelle at the past, but she learned from her mistakes. That's why to read Klaus was so easy to her, he was the type of guy who seamed tough, but actually just needed someone.
There's two types of bad guys, she learned quickly. The one that can't change, that will always be heartless troubled assholes, because that's what they are. And then there was another type, who's bad guy attitude was just a mask, and we're really just as lonely and emotinal just like was everyone else. Klaus was the other type, she was sure. That's why it was obvious to her he kept his family in his house, where he probably spent hours and hours thinking and mourning.
She figure it's the basement, because it's one place you really don't invite your guests and Klaus will surely invite guests in the future. Compelled humans in desperate need for company or his hunger. Everybody make mistakes and even an creature that's been around forever can make a few. She stopped, it was the end of a tunnel. Metal door look seamed to have a dent. Somebody with not human strengh tried to open it already. A vampire for sure. More than likely one of her friends (and a member of 'I want Klaus dead' club). She figured going with a same plan person before her tried was her only thing she could do. Sadly, she didn't learn how to break into rooms she wasn't welcomed to. Luckily one more hit was exactly what the door need to open. Inside, five coffins.
Caroline smiled, they're surely pissed at him and will help with their plan to kill the hybrid. Her happiness didn't last long, she heard unfamilar male voice and paniced, still she didn't ruin her ball gown for nothing, she opened the first coffin. The blonde undaggered Klaus' silbing and dragged the vampire out in the hallyway, before swiftly running away through the nearest windown and escaping. She knew where they are now, she could come back anytime. In her torn dress she was suddenly grateful for such a strict mother and many detentions she got into, thanks to those she got so much pratice at leaving the house out of the window.
She texted Elena and got into her car.
Klaus just escorted the last member of Founder's council out. Drunk 76-year old was the last guest at the party, he happily closed the door. Still he biggest part of him was unhappy Bonnie didn't danced to the beat of his drumm as much as he wanted too, but he got himself the next best thing.
The ordered a several loyal hybrids who worked as security at the party to get rid of blonde waiter and they obeyed, carrying the human out of Klaus' lobby. He took the last bottle of champange and merrily walked into his bedroom. "Oh hey, I was just admiring your room. It's beyond gorgeous." The girl complimented diabolical hybrid. She was around 5' 4", skinny and was one of those black women who has light dark skin. Her black hair was obviously straightend from it's naturaly curly way and her chocolate brown eyes seamed so naive when she turned away from the window to face him.
He smiled even though what he had wasn't victory, a better word for it was substitute. He didn't get the women he wanted, he got a Mystic Falls community college student who looked incredibly similar. As he poured the champange into glasses he said. "Thank you Bonnie."
It wasn't her, but it was what he had to keep him entertained for the night. Little roleplay wouldn't harm anyone. Well maybe a college student, but he didn't feel sympathetic. Human life wasn't as worth as him escaping his lonliness was.
"Come here." It didn't sounded like an order, but it was. Without a word of protest, secured by his compelling skills, girl came closer. Klaus kissed her passionately, imagining it was Bonnie Bennett instead.
Caroline pulled over and spotted silver Ford Escape, a car of her good friend Elena Gilbert near and a teenager walking towards one house. The two met on a porch and they both took a deep breathe. Unconsciously, the took each other hand. They felt guilt, but they have been proven right at the same time. What they feared the most was her rejection. After everything, they feared she chose the other team, but Elena pressed the door bell they knew their best friend would never do that.
Bonnie got off her couch, where she was re-runs of Friends with a comfortable blanket hugging her body. She looked to the clock on the wall, it was 12:50 pm. She wondered who could be at this unlikely hourt for visitors. She did a little prayer hoping it wasn't a Klaus as she walked in the direction of the doors. It was a hybrid who seamed to be crushing on her, it was Elena...and Caroline. Bonnie's ebrow raised, why where they here this late?, she did another prayer as she reached for the door to open. This time she prayed nobody she knew died that night.
"Hey girls." She said quietly before she bit her down lip. Bonnie felt slightly embarrassed, since the last time she was them was when she yelled at them both and she knew that to them her anger came out of nowhere. "What's wrong? Are everybody safe?"
It felt like a natural thing to ask. Three girls and the Salvatore brothers became like lifeguradins over the safety of each other and humans in their hometown. "Everybody we know are." Caroline Forbes insured her best friend. Feeling lighter, Bonnie invited the girls inside, it was kind of dumb living them on the cold in their gowns, but she simply had to know everyone's okay first.
"But we can't say Klaus didn't kill anyone." Elena said as all three of them sat down in Bonnie's living room. Bonnie felt heavyness on her chest again, she hated to hear about people dying of reckless, diobolical creatures that existed in her town and were hardly tamed.
She let Elena continue without interupting. "We stayed longer than you on the party," Elena said, pointing to the vampire to her right and herself. Bonnie nodded, she noticed their cars as she drove away. "I saw Klaus kill a waiter. A human waiter." Elena frowned.
"Please tell me he didn't have blond hair, was about 5' 8" and has brown eyes."
"Well I didn't see his eyes, I was hiding so Klaus doesn't see me," Elena shruged her shoulders. "but he was about 5'8'' and blonde. Why?"
Her friends looked at her with interest. Bonnie felt a guilt coming over her, still she knew they are both impatient for an answer so she said. "I talked to him on the party."
She squezzed her left hand. "He was funny and handsome. I guess, I don't know, I guess I filrted with him. Or at least Klaus thought I did and he killed him for it." She burried her face into her hands. "It's my fault he's dead." She whispered.
Caroline heard what she said and immediately hugged the witch. Soon the doppelganger hugger her too. "Don't be silly, Bon Bon." Caroline sounded comforting. "He's a maniac. Billion years old asshole nobody likes. He's a killer and it's NOT your fault he kills."
Bonnie calmed a bit. "You know what?" Caroline looked at Gilber and Bennett, who were still hugging. "We'll now work twice as hard to kill him. You go get your magical cookbook , Elena will make coffee and I'll make something to eat. We'll work on this all night. We can do it!" Caroline raised her left arm to make an even bigger impression after her speech.
Elena and Bonnie laughed at her child-like enthusiasm. "I'll go get my grimorie. You Elena please take care of my kitchen, this silly creature my burn it down."
"Hey!" The vampire protested.
The brunnette laughed. "You have my word."
And just like that, all was well between childhood friends again.
Tired, but determent Bonnie turned to the next page of her grimorie. So far no luck with killing-an-orginial-hybrid spell. She looked up at the clock, 6 am. Wow all the tiredness and fighting to close her eyes was really her body protesting she's treating it badly, not consequence of Elena's not very strong, too sweet coffee. She took a last piece of peanut butter sendwich her vampire friend called cooking.
She looked down and focused on her grimorie again. Five minutes she spoke, "Alright, so we haven't a perfect spell but," she paused, emphasizing that what's coming is important. "we can do it this was. First opening door spell, 'cause I certainly ain't gonna play nice with a devil ever again. Then," she went a few pages back "burning and vervain mixed in one by this fusion spell."
Bonnie smiled, she was pretty happy with her plan. "Whatcha think?" She looked up.
Only then she figured why her friends were so silent. They were sweetly sleeping covered with her blanket on her couch. She smiled because the two of them sharing so little space while asleep reminded her of time they fought over who gets a upper part of bunk bed at Carla Thomson's sleepover at 3rd grade. They sat on the bed unwilling to let the other one get the most popular bed on a sleepover until they both feel asleep next to each other.
She took one page out of notebook in which Caroline wrote down all of the slightly crazy ideas they came up with through the night. She wrote down.
I though of something. Will be at Klaus.
Wish me luck.
Bonnie
Then she got up ready to get revenge. This men gave her a word and then did exactly what he promised he won't do. As she got into the car she repeted latin words to herself. She started the car, there was no turning back now.
As she drove, she finally thought about her emotions. How she felt about Klaus' betrayal? How could she be so stupid? Klaus would never simply played nice because she asked him too. The effect she had on him was all fake. He only wanted her for her power and at the end of the day, she had no influence on the choices he makes. Bonnie felt like a fool. She yelled at her friends and she defended a hybrid like some naive freshmen in love with school's troublemaker. The idea that he manipulated her this easily made her sick to her stomach.
She stops at the red light. 10 more minutes and she's at Klaus' mansion. It wasn't smart doing this on her own. She should've waken up her friends, probably call Stefan. She picks up her cell and almost dials younger Salvatore's number, but she backs down. If he kills her, he kills her. If she's in this all alone, she is 100% sure her friends are safe. For that day. At the possibilty of her own death she starts moving again. Everything she's doing is unrehearsed, unadvisedly and unlikely to succeed.
She pulls over she's there. Her emotions of anger and disapointment are more stronger than common sense. As she gets out of the car she texts her dad. I love u. Can't wait 4 u 2 come back. And as she hits send her heart breaks a bit. She can't even imagine how much pain Cliff will be in if she dies, but there's a chance she end the constant treat that is Klaus and her life is something she's willing to put on the line.
"Invitatus sum ad domum intraret mihi apertum." Bonnie said with her hand and all her concentration on getting this door open.
Instead of breaking and entering, Bonnie turned to magic. It has always been her go-to thing when it comes to dealing with anything of this sort supernatural. It also helped that her powers where 50% lead by her mind, but also 50% by her emotions. The fact she was angry at her last night's date helped and she got the door open. She marched in with all her frustation and resentment towards the hybrid. Without any plan on any idea where he actually is she walked into his bedroom, he was there. Bingo! But he wasn't alone.
He just zipped up his jeans and was obviously in a process of dressing himself. He looked up and smiled when he saw her shocked expression. Behind him lay a dead naked girl, who looked like Bonnie so much it sent chills down witch's spine. Klaus was an animal; no common sense, no compassion and no heart. He needs to be killed, she knew with everything inside her. She haven't found a spell to kill him in her grimorie, but she found two that might if nothing, cause him pain.
She looked him straight in the eye. "You kill a boy and now you killed this poor girl." Her voice was shaking, because for a moment she thought there's nothing she can really do to stop him. "What happend to behaving?" She gulped.
He was insanely handsome and the fact he was shirtless made him more appeling, as that was possible. She didn't want to, but Bonnie checked him out. His torso, his abs...it was simple instance of human's curiosity. Still he gloat over that fact as if she kiss the ground he was walking on. That egocentric moron!
"I tried my best for you love." He looked her in the eyes. He looked, he looked a bit ashmed. Bonnie couldn't believe how good at manipulating Klaus was."But I am killer. I have been for a very long time. I can't change over night." He came two steps closer, still not wearing a shirt. "Plus your little flirting with a waiter really turned on impulsive side of me. I didn't think. I just," he was searching for the right word. "reacted."
He was now very closer, yet still not in her face. Like he often is. "I never learned to be good at keeping my word like my brother Elijah."
Bonnie had enough. She put her hands on his bare chest, which made him smile and smiled up until she said. "Natura interficiam lamia. miscere verbend et ignis et moriatur."
He got down on his knees, screaming in agony. Bonnie has never felt this much power. He suffered very much. She figured her ancestors saw just how much of a damage has this one man caused and how much emotion she can draw from so they decided to help her. She almost smiled, feeling like this huge amount of Klaus' pain she's seeing in front of her is a pat in the back from Salem witches.
A moment you relax is the moment you lose in this supernatural world. Bonnie suddenly felt a sharp knife of her throat and a strong hand around her waist that made her unable to move.
"Stop it!" Female voice ordered and Bonnie had no clue who it was. "Stop the spell right now or I will kill you!" She screamed in her ear.
"Prohibere incantatores." Bonnie said and all the magic stopped. Klaus stopped screaming. Only evidence of Bonnie's work was burns on his chest and arms.
"Bekah." Klaus said while catching her breath. As he said Bonnie's cutthroat name, she let her go. Bonnie swiftly turned around to see a beautiful, blonde girl and a sharp knife in her hand.
She studied her face for a second, wondering what her connection to the Original was. Was she a hybrid? But he didn't call them by name. Was she his former lover? Vampire fan? She could guess, but she had no clue.
"What are you looking at?" The blonde was fierce and bossy. Bonnie stood there confused. "Heal him!" She ordered.
Bonnie didn't move, she stood there frozen for few seconds too long. Rebekah stabbed her in the liver with her knife, causing her to gasp in shock from huge and sudden pain.
Klaus, still hurting from the burns yelled. "No!"
