A/N: Originally, this chapter was supposed to be longer and slightly different, but I think I ended up stoping in a good place. Possibly making you want more. I'd like to thank few of you who are still reading this story. You have no idea how glad I am that you do. Thank you.
CHAPTER 13 Nothing We Trust
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust
Bonnie enters Mikelson residence with a serious expression. She is tense and nervous. She keeps imagining how tonight might end and none of the scenarios are optimistic. She has witnessed too much evil in the last two years to ever be optimistic again. Young girl crosses her arms as she follows Klaus Mikelson into the kitchen.
She still remembers the last time she was in this house. She tried to kill the very person who brought her here today. She tried to kill him and almost died in the process. The memory sends chills down her spine. In attempt to shake off the vivid flashback in her head, the witch decides to focus on looking around. It's not enough to say that it's beautiful. It's modern and elegant, like one of those fabulous kitchens you see on cooking shows or in rich people life-style shows, she would never admit she watches. She looks around, yes that's exactly what it's like, the house seams surreal to her. Like she just walked into her TV screen. While she looks around she still keeps an close eye on her date for the night. She is not sure is she more afraid that he will kill her or kiss her. She only knows she's afraid. Klaus pulls out a bottle of wine and two glasses. Bonnie just wants to get out of there, so she does. It's his house, he'll find her if he wants to. After only a few steps down the hallway, followed by breathtaking antique paintings on the wall, Bonnie stops in front of a door. She carefully opens the doors and enters, leaving the door open. Library. Bonnie loves literature. She adores how it takes her to a whole different world and makes her forget all her troubles. Troubles most caused by creatures people think of as a work of fiction. She lets out a sigh, she too often wishes they were all just fruit of human's imagination. She would love to read more, but she rarely has time these days. In college, she quietly promises herself, if she lives that long. However she does read all the books her English teacher asks her too and lately, they have been discussing a legend, William Shakespeare. Bonnie wonders if Klaus ever met him, just as he enters the room. "Decided to play hide and seek?" He asks with a smile, caring two glasses of wine in his hands. She titles her head. "You know I won't escape." Bonnie doesn't even try to hide her disappointment and resentment. They both know she didn't say that because of their mutual trust, but rather several hybrid bodyguards and servants he has, lurking around the house. His smirk makes her sick. It's almost always there, a constant reminder that he's always two steps ahead and probably always will be. So she looks away, focusing on the bookshelf instead. An author in front of her? William Shakespeare. Witchy senses once again.
"You a fan?" Hybrid asks before he hands her a glass of wine.
Bonnie takes it. She is still not sure will she drink any of it, but a part of her knows he won't poison her. Suddenly something her English professor said recently appears in Bonnie's mind. It's a quote she finds so appropriate.
"Hell is empty and all the devils are here."
Leaning over a coffin, Katherine Pierce is holding a mouse. Frustrated and bored, by how long this is taking, she hopes the mouse will work. If it counts for anything, it looks delicious to her. ''C'mon Mikel, breakfast!'' She says, holding a mouse by its tail looking down on a older man whose skin turned grey and is in chains. Her cellphone is ringing and vibrating in her back pocket, but she decides to ignore it for a while longer. She knows who it is anyway.
''Ugh!'' Curly haired vampire throws a mouse into Mikel's face and answers the phone. ''What?''
''What? What do you mean what? I've been calling you for two days.'' Damon says angrily, walking back and forth.
''Odd,'' Katherine tilted her head, trying to force the mouse into Mikel's mouth. But his lips stay shut. ''that's exactly how long I've been ignoring you.''
''How are things with Mikel?'' Older Salvatore asks, finally stopping He wants this plan to work, he wants the most dangerous vampire hunter ever to be here rapidly and end hybrid's eternity.
''He's a bit stiff.'' Katherine says. The mouse falls to the side. Katherine gives up on a mouse, she is so annoyed she won't even eat him herself. ''He won't eat. I tried everything. Mice, rats, bats...he's not interested.'' She stands up, getting ready to leave. She had enough of this. Being here, in the middle of nowhere, on a graveyard with apparently dead Mikel.
''Well, try harder!'' Damon yells. This is not what he wanted to hear. ''We need him to kill Klaus. Isn't that what you wanted for..oh, I don't know, 500 years?!''
Katherine rolls her eyes as she listens to Damon. She opens the door, ready to leave creepy, old church where Mikel's body is, when she sees something that instantly gives her an idea. A young man kneeling down, putting flowers in front of a tombstone. Finally, Katherine thinks. This place has been dead silent for all the time she has been there. ''Fine. I'll give it another shot.'' She hungs up on her former lover.
In a split of a second, Katherine breaks a man's neck and drags him inside of the old church.
''I'll take it you're not interested?'' Klaus says in a tone that implies he's not bothered by her behavior even though he very much is.
Bonnie is standing as far away as possible from a decorated dinner table, with candles and the finest meals. He really pushed his servants to work hard on this and they did, he can't see a single flaw in the dinner, but she can. Or maybe, he's the flaw to her. That thought upsets him, but he knows better than to show it. After half an hour, she finally looks him way. ''I'll eat with you,'' she says in a clam and cold voice ''if you do something for me.''
Klaus almost recognizes this coldness and blackmail, it's so him. He gets up from the table and starts walking towards her. ''And what would that be, my dear?'' He is curious.
''Come with me.'' Bonnie leaves his dining room and then the hallway, walking like she's in the rush. Hybrid swiftly orders his servants to keep the meal warm and tells them they'll be back before he closes the door and in a speed of light, appears next to her. ''Where are we going, love?'' He asks just as she stops in front of his car.
''Give me the keys.'' She doesn't even bother to tell him. She doesn't even look his way. She is determent and doesn't really care about what he thinks.
Klaus shakes him head. It's his car and he does not borrow his car to anyone or lets anyone. but him drives it. It's a fabulous car and he, he has seen what she's driving around in. She can not handle the speed or anything else his car can do.
''Do you want that date or not?'' Bonnie says in a harsh tone. She spans out her hand, demanding the car keys without saying another word. Just staring at him until he gets uncomfortable.
He gives in, reaching in his pocket and placing the keys in her hand. He then mumbles, unhappy as he walks over to the passenger seat. Bonnie smiles for a second, but goes back to her poker face a second he gets in. It's a small victory for her, but that doesn't even matter all that much. She has planned something and if it works, she'd be a lot more happy than she is right now. Even though, the more she thinks about it less certain she is. However, she knows she has to do it. She won't give up without trying.
I'm a genius. Katherine thinks to herself as she lights the candle in the old church. Is getting dark and Mikel is awakening, so being able to see his every move is crucial. She has no idea how strong or vicious he is. All she heard was rumors. There's a blood stain all around Mikel's mouth and a dead guy on the floor. Katherine turns around just as Mikel says. ''I have been denying myself human blood for as long as I can remember.'' He says in a British accent, somewhat explaining his earlier greedy and beastly feed on the human.
Before Katherine responds to his confession, Mikel asks. ''Why is it, that you awoke me?''
''I thought that you might know how to kill Klaus.'' Katherine smiles victoriously.
''Would you mind helping me with these?'' Mikel asks, referring to the chains that surround him. He still cannot believe that damn witch got him, but now he has a second chance. If only this girl is foolish enough to trust him.
Katherine raises her eyebrow, not moving a muscle. Seeing that she need some more reassurance he says. ''I cannot kill Klaus if I'm all tied up.''
With one, swift move of her hand, Katherine frees Mikel.
She pulls over. I took her some time to figure out how exactly does his car work and comprehend just how fast the car can go, but she go it. She's a quick learner. She has to be. Klaus looks around as she pulls the key out and unbuckles her seat belt. ''We're here.'' She says shortly before leaving the vehicle.
He gets out too, slamming the door behind him. He doesn't like this place and even more, he doesn't like the idea of why she brought him there. He grabs her hand aggressively. ''What is this?'' He yells. ''You brought me to your little witchy spirits to end me!'' He points to the graveyard.
Bonnie pulls out her arm out his strong grip. She slaps him without even thinking about it, it's an instant reaction. Then she yells. ''This is the last time you ever hurt me!'' And she means it. ''Got it?!''
His eyes give away that he's sorry and he remorsefully looks at the ground, not saying anything. So she figures he won't hurt her again. ''I'm not going to kill you.'' She looks at him. Klaus looks up not believing a word she says. ''Not tonight.'' But her voice sounds so sincere he is left confused. When did she got so good at messing with his head?
''You asked for a lot tonight.'' Bonnie is looking into Klaus' eyes. ''To drink wine you pore, to eat food you made.'' She stops for a minute, just to try and read any reaction on his face, but she can't. He can pull on a poker face like no other. ''So I'm asking you to trust me when I say there's no spirits and no murders tonight. Can you do that?''
A/N: Do you trust Bonnie? Is she telling the truth or is she lying? Feel free to let me know in your comment. I look forward to those. :) Ran-Manwen Baroline moments will come up. I'm sorry I didn't post them right away, but like I said long chapter got split in two.
P.S. Katherine/Mikel scenes are pretty much from the shows. I liked them a lot so I kept them in. So yeah, credits to the writers I guess. Please review.
