CHAPTER 12 My Possiession
You're my possession,
Of that my love there really is no question,
Don't hide behind your rage
I know you love me
And always will,
Bonnie adapted her covers, but no matter how they felt, they were better than before. She was finally home. In her own living room, on as doctor said, strict bed rest. She's been slowly drinking a tea her father made her and relaxing when her dad walked in. "I have to go to work." He said with a sad voice. It was obvious he felt guilty for having to leave her. Cliff Bennett has been taking care of his little girl by himself since she was three years old. Each other was all they had.
"I'll be fine, daddy." Young witch smiled, trying to assure her father she'll be okay on her own.
"I hate this." Cliff said under his breathe. Bonnie smiled again. She was blessed with a truly magnificent father. Just then, as Cliff was struggiling to leave for work, Bennetts heared a doorbell. Cliff went to open the door, leaving Bonnie alone again. She didn't worry about a visitor at the door, it was probably a postman or a neighbor. Since their visit in the hospital, which was only yesterday but still, Mikelsons left her alone. It was naive, she knew, but she hoped they'd both just forget her. They would leave town and she could be normal again. It was only a daydream, but those kinds of unrealistic thoughts, helped Bonnie.
She tried to reach for the remote as her father returned to their red painted living room. And he wasn't alone.
"Rebekah." Bonnie whispeared in terror.
Her father however, stayed totally relaxed as he picked up his jacket. "Your friend came over to keep you company. Which is perfect since I have to go." Cliff kissed his daughter's forehead and head out to leave their home. Rebekah just stood there, smiling and staring at her. Bonnie could feel her breathing stop as she nervously feared for her father's life. In spilt of a second and his neck could be broken. He could be dead. She stared at Rebekah without even blinking until she heared the front door close. Her father was outside.
He was safe.
"Your house is disgustingly small." Commented Rebekah as she sat on the same couch Bonnie was lying on. Bonnie rolled her eyes. Of course a snob like Rebekah would think so, she and her annoying brother, live in a mansion. "Get out Rebekah!" She ordered.
The blonde didn't seam even a bit bothered by Bonnie's words. Mikelsons and their arrogance, Bonnie was getting more and more annoyed. "How will you stop me, witch?" She asked in a mocking tone.
Bonnie made a sudden move and a wound started to hurt her instantly. She returned to her previous position, angry. "Anyway, I came here to apologize." Bonnie's eyes widen. "I shoudn't have stab you. It's not your fault my brother is an asshole."
"Yes he is and you're a psychotic bitch. Now that we all know that, can you get the hell out?" Bonnie wanted the Original out of her house.
"You have a sharp tounge, witch." Rebekah smiled. She noticed a remote on Bonnie's coffee-table and took it. She has never seen such an odd item before. "What does this do?" She asked, studying the object in her hands.
Bonnie let out a sigh. This girl will obviously not leave her property, so she might as well give it up. "It's called a remote." She explained. "It changes channel on that thing," she pointed to her TV "called television."
Rebekah stood up, still holding the remote, went to Bonnie's television and leaned remote into a flat TV screen. Bonnie covered her eyes, embarrassed on Rebekah's behave. "It's not working." Rebekah said disappointed.
"Bring it over here, Bex." Bonnie decided show-don't-explain, was the best techinque to teach the vampire about the wonderful techonology of 21st century. Rebekah handed her over the remote. Bonnie noticed something in Rebekah's eyes that she never expected to find there. A childlike curiosity. There was something innocent and beautiful about it.
With eyes hungry of knowledge, Rebekah watched as Bonnie turned out TV. As sound and image scared the blonde. "And I thought you Originals were fearless." Bonnie laughed.
"Do I really have to do this?" Bonnie crossed her arms unhappy. It was one thing to be back at school, do plenty of homework and take a math test she did not study for, but this auction was something she didn't signed up for. Well technically she did, but when Caroline said all cheerleaders should sign up for a charity event she figured they'd volunteer in a animal shelter or give money for deaf children or something among those lines. She did not expect to be treated like a piece of meat on a market. She did not ever expect to have a price.
But that's what tonight was about. Charity auction for oncology ward of Mystic Falls General Hospital. Erica Anderson was in line in front of Bonnie and she was a fellow cheerleader. Redhead shrugged her shoulders. "There's no way out." She informed the witch. "I already tried," she sigh "but this event is Mayor Lockwood's idea and Caroline will do just about anything to be like by her boyfriend's mom." Bonnie bit her lower lip. "And throw us under the bus is no problem," A cheerleader who was in line behind Bonnie added. "At least you have a boyfriend, Mary." Erica said. "Who knows what creep will bid for me." Erica finished her sentence just as the girls heard Tyler's mother say. "And our first girl is Erica Anderson. Member of a debate club and a cheerleader at Mystic Falls High." Erica walked out. Bonnie's eyes met Mary's and she was nervous. Very nervous. She looked down on her floral dress and pink sweater and she felt stupid. Stupid she so easily signed her name down. She promised herself she will carefully read everything she signs her name on to from this moment on. She secretly prayed Klaus isn't in the audience as she heard numbers being shouted out for Erica behind the curtain.
Stefan was driving home from witch house when he spotted him on one red light. Actually, he spotted him and asked him to join him. At first he easily refused, but then the hybrid mentioned Bonnie's name and the word auction. He could instantly imagine Klaus ripping her apart after he gets five minutes alone with her. He knew Klaus was in love with a witch, but he was also diabolical lunatic. Stefan agreed to come. If anything he wanted to make sure she wasn't foolish enough to come, she should know better than take part in events like these when people like Klaus were walking around. Even people like him. "Perfect. Just in time." Klaus smiled as the two sat down for one of the tables. Not just any table, front and centered. So they could see every girl perfectly. Stefan nervously ordered a bourbon, he wasn't even in a mood for a drink.
"Bonnie Bennett is a beautiful young girl. Senior and cheerleader in Mystic Falls High School." Carol Lockwood said and Bonnie knew that was her sign to get on stage. Still she froze, she didn't move a muscle. She even forgot how to breathe. Mary psychically pushed her on stage and then she almost fell, surprised by the push from behind. She looked over her shoulder at Mary who showed her to hurry up. Instead she walked slowly as Mrs. Lockwood said a starting price, but Bonnie could barely hear her. She must have looked very disoriented because she then felt Mayor's arm around her shoulders, holding her tightly. "300 dollars." Yelled a man to Bonnie's right. He was a bit behind so Bonnie squinted to get a look at him. It was Neal, nerd from her Chemistry class. "350 dollars." This voice was familiar. Bonnie turned to look at Stefan as Carol Lockwood repeated the number vampire just said. She was shocked to find him sitting at the table with their enemy, someone Stefan couldn't stand, Niklaus Mikelson. Stefan lifted his glass up and she understood was he was trying to tell her. I'm trying to save you from him. Klaus didn't make any offers yet, but when Bonnie's eyes met his she knew he would. "360." Said Neal. Neal either had a crush on her Bonnie or he was such a nerd he would buy her just so they could get started on chemistry project they were partner up to do together. She couldn't give it much thought before she heard. "500 dollars." Klaus said. A little surprised at first, Mrs. Lockwood spoke into the microphone. "You can't outrun your competition like that, sir." Klaus gave Tyler's mother such a evil glare even she got a bit scared. He didn't even use his mind controlling skill and Major said. "Five hundred dollars for this lovely lady." Her one arm hug then got just a bit tighter. "600 dollars." Bonnie was glad to hear Stefan say. Then she noticed people gasping in the audience and if she didn't know, that over the years they both compelled a lot of rich people to be their sponsor than she would probably be surprised too. But she knew money was nothing to them. "700." Klaus looked at Stefan, not even blinking. The host of the event didn't have to repeat the numbers, everyone in the Grill were staring at the two. "Pinch me so I know it's not a dream." Carol whispered into Bonnie's ear and she sounded almost glad. At first, Bonnie raised her eyebrow but then she remembered Major did not know what these two men actually were. She was just happy they're giving a lot of money to a good cause. "You're not." She said emotionless, then she too went back to staring at Stefan and Klaus. "800." Klaus smirked. "Dammit!" Bonnie cursed, apparently too loud cause for a second the audience looked at her, confused. If it was any other girl, in any other town, this amount of money would flatter her, Bonnie knew. Stefan reached for him wallet and she knew that was not a good sign. He recounted the money 3 times in dead silence before Major said. "Going once.."
"No!" Bonnie cut her off yelling. She is surely not making any sense to anyone in the audience tonight, expect for Mr. Salvatore and Mr. Mikelson.
Carol Lockwood's eyes widen. She realized she just stopped 800 dollars from going to charity but she couldn't help herself. "I'll bet for myself." She said. She jumped off stage and ran to Elena who was sitting nearby with her purse. Elena handed her her purse and she took looked unhappy with a way things were going. Bonnie opened her wallet. 20 dollars. "For fuck's sake." She cursed again. "I'd like to add 20 dollars to Mr. Salvatore's bidding." She said looking Carol straight in the eyes.
Carol opened her mouth to speak. "Mister's offer is still higher I'm afraid." Older women said calmly.
"Fuck!" Bonnie was mad. She looked at Elena. "How much money do you have?"
Elena opened her wallet in a rush, realizing the intensity of the situation. The look on her face when she saw the amount of money she had was not encouraging. "40 bucks. I'm sorry." She frowned.
"Going twice." Carol Lockwood continued. "Sold to the mister in a leather jacket."
Bonnie banged her head against the table.
Soon enough it was Rebekah's turn. She recently joined the cheerleader squad and Caroline hated her for it, but Rebekah didn't seam to care. Elena, Bonnie and Caroline tried to talk other girls out of expecting Rebekah as their member but she could do everything better than most gymnastics, so girls ignored their captain strong dislike for a girl and voted her to become a part of the team.
She walked proud and confident. Bonnie was sitting down with Elena, with a frown on her face. Drowning her sorrow with beer. ''What a pompous bitch.'' Elena commented.
Bonnie just shrugged her shoulders. However both of their mouth opened when they heared Tyler say. "200. " They couldn't believe it, Caroline was looking forward to tonight so much. She told her best friends Tyler promised her he'll buy her. How could he now offer money for Rebekah? ''What the hell is wrong with him?'' Elena asked madly.
Bonnie's eyes shifted to her buyer. The smirk on his face made it easy to figure out. His power of Tyer, his private possession almost, caused a high school jock to bid against his will. Tyler's eyes met Bonnie's and she could see it, his soul was screaming that he doesn't want to do this as he bid once more, as he top other man's offer. ''Klaus.'' She whispered bitterly, before she turned to Elena. She hated him. She hated him so much it made her furious.
''Go to Caroline and please tell her he's not doing any of this because he wants to hurt her.'' She ordered and brunette nodded before leaving their table in a rush.
She got up as well, ready to yell at the hybird. ''270.'' Matt said. Their eyes met and he shruged his shoulders. Bonnie realized he too figured out it's actually Klaus' words coming out of Tyler's mouth and was trying to stop Caroline (and Tyler in a way) from getting hurt. The witch knew he's spending his paycheck on this. So she hit Klaus' shoulder as soon as she reached the table.
''So eager to spend the night with me, are we now?'' Klaus smirked. His cocky attitude made her even more furious, if that was even possible.
''Fuck off.'' She said and Stefan's eyes widen. He took a sip of his drink, curious in how this conversation will continue. ''Stop it, Klaus.'' Bonnie ordered.
''Stop what?'' Klaus acted innocent. ''I haven't said a word since I bought you, beautiful.'' He touched her hip.
She swiftly moved away. ''Stop Tyler from bidding.'' She said just as Tyler said another number out loud. ''He doesn't want to. I know he doesn't.''
''What will I get in return?'' Hybrid asked before taking a sip of his drink.
Ugh! Bonnie wanted to scream in all the frustration. Her eyes met Stefan's for a second, but he didn't look any bit interested in helping her. He either didn't have any idea how to or he didn't care. Both options were frustrating for Bonnie. ''A kiss.'' She had no idea how that even thought even formed in her mouth, let alone was said out loud, but it was.
And Klaus' grin grew bigger. He was playing with them like they were pawns in the game of chess. ''Man has his will, but woman has her way.'' Klaus quoted Oliver Wendell Holmes as he touched Bonnie's cheek. She turned away, but he didn't seam to mind. ''Alright.'' He said.
Just in that moment, they could all hear Carol Lockwood say. ''Sold, to Matt Donovan.'' Rebekah smiled.
Stefan got up in a hurry, Bonnie walked away to follow him. She could sense he's up to something violent. He grabbed Matt by the shirt and pulled him into men's bathroom. A few people saw it, so Bonnie quickly explained. ''It's okay. They're friends.'' It was not very believeble, but it was enough for unwanted attention to go away. She then entered men's bathroom herself.
''What are you doing?!'' She yelled as she saw Stefan having Matt against the wall with his arm against his throat. ''Stop it!'' Bonnie hit Stefan.
''I'm preparing him for what might happen tonight.'' He pressed a bit harder. ''Only hundred times worse, because she's an Original.'' He was looking Matt straight in the eyes.
Bonnie began to give him headache, but he was on human's blood now so he could fight her pain off easier. ''Don't make her mad. Or you're dead.'' He finally let go.
Matt was gasping for air as Bonnie went to hug him. ''Are you insane?!'' She screamed at the top of her voice.
''He's the one that's mad.'' Stefan saidly coldly. ''She could kill him in a heartbeat and all of that for someone he's not ever friends with anymore.''
Matt was drinking water, trying to calm down. ''It's gonna be fine.'' Bonnie's voice suddenly shivered because she realized what Matt got himself into. They all were so preocupided with not letting Klaus get his way that they forgot how much more vulnerable than all of them Matt was.
''She won't kill him.'' Bonnie said, trying to stay strong and be positive about it. She said it out loud as that will stop anything bad from happening.
''You have to treat her nicely.'' Stefan said, looking into blonde boy's eyes. ''Better than nicely. Better than you ever treated any women in your life.'' He was serious. ''She likes attention and she likes compliments.'' Stefan added before he stormed out off he bathroom, slamming the door behind him.
''Are you okay?'' Bonnie was worried.
Matt nodded his head. ''Yeah, I'm fine.'' Seeing how afraid she is, Matt hugged her. ''It's all gonna be okay.'' He whispeard into her ear.
Bonnie wanted to cry. Possibitly that this is the last time they're talking to each other was something she couldn't bare. She hugged him tightly. How did the two mortals became so involed in his mess?
Time has come for them all to go out. The rules were that buyers got to keep their girls 'till midnight. With her arms crossed and with mixed emotions, Bonnie was standing in front of her car. Her heart beating fast. That's when she saw him approach. ''We're taking my car.'' Klaus said.
''I'll just follow you behind.'' She explained as she unlocked the front door.
The door were shut again. In this vampire speed he closed them and was now few inches away from here. ''We're taking my car.'' He repeated calmly.
There was nothing else to do, but to obey him. She walked behind him and she spotted Caroline holding Tyler's hand. The blonde mouthed to her ''I'll call you.'' Before the hybrid got to his luxurious car.
''I was nice enough not to ask for your part of the deal in front of your friends.'' Klaus said.
She didn't have time to replay. She didn't have time to say anything, because his lips were already on hers. His soft lips are pressed against hers and he was so gentle she could lose herself. She feels his hand on her cheek and his cologne in the air. It's all so intoxicating. She allows herself to completely forget how much she hates him and opens her mouth a little. To him, that's enough of invitation and he slide his tongue into her mouth and she...enjoys it. He's skilled, he knows just how to make her moan and lose herself completely. Just then, in some kind of heavenly stage, he pulls away. Smirking.
It was all a game of power. And she lost this round.
He opens the door for her and she goes inside. Not sure who does she hate more. Herself or him?
