After Bonnie's conversation with Ayanna and Esther, she had intended to make her way back to Tamara's with a whole new lot of questions that she desperately needed answering. Did she want them answered? Not particularly but if she wanted to get home soon she needed to know as much as she could. But when Bonnie caught sight of Rebekah she decided that her questions could wait a little longer.
Rebekah's face brightened when she saw Bonnie coming over to her. The young blonde didn't have many friends as she spent most of her time with her family but she very much liked Bonnie even though they hadn't known each other long.
"Hello, Bonnie," Rebekah greeted her with a smile. "How are you settling in?" she asked.
"I am still trying to get used to it, but it is that not bad," the young witch replied.
"I am certain you will be fine here and the need ever arises I am sure Niklaus or Elijah would be more than happy to help you with whatever you need," she said with a sneaky smile.
Bonnie laughed and shook her head at Rebekah's comment. "I highly doubt that."
"No, really! You have completely enchanted Niklaus and Elijah thinks that you are very beautiful," Rebekah revealed to Bonnie. "I personally think that you would suit Nik very well. I can imagine it now." Rebekah said with a laugh.
"I only just met him." Bonnie said with reason.
And we've already tried to kill each other back in the present time. Somehow Bonnie didn't think she and Klaus would ever work out romantically or even friendly. There was too much bad blood between them.
"You should get to know him. He is not bad just misunderstood." She said, her laughter stopping and she turned serious. A frown was pasted on her face, a frown that made Bonnie give in to her
"If it will take that frown off your face, then I would love to get to know Niklaus," Bonnie told her and watched as the smile reappeared on her face, as bright as ever.
Bonnie felt liked she'd just been fooled into this. She could tell that Rebekah was one of those girls that only had to pout to get what they wanted.
"That is fantastic!" She exclaimed. "I have to collect some herbs and plants for mother, maybe you could come along and I will bring Nik as well?" She asked in a hopeful voice.
"Sure. That sounds nice." Bonnie responded with a smile.
If Bonnie were honest, she wasn't overall pleased to have to get to know Klaus even if it was the human version. She was fine with Rebekah because she'd never really done anything to really make Bonnie loath her guts in the way that she did Klaus. She didn't want to risk having some sort of affection for Klaus that may end up clouding her judgement against the present day Klaus.
"I will go get Nik now and I will be right back."
Rebekah made her way over to her brother with an infectious smile.
"What has you so happy today, Bekah?" Klaus question while he was sharpening his sword.
"I am going to collect mother's herbs and Bonnie is going to come along. Would you like to join us? You could get to know her," she said and battered her eyelashes at him. "Besides, we may run into some trouble and we might need you there."
Klaus rolled his eyes and stood up. "Of course, little sister, anything for you," he said and a victorious smile appeared on her face.
Rebekah led Klaus back over to where Bonnie was waiting. "Try not to make a fool of yourself," Rebekah leant over and whispered to her brother as they neared the other girl.
Klaus brushed off his sister's comment as he walked ahead of her, causing her to break out in a slow jog to keep up with his strides but to no avail as she fell behind rather quickly.
Bonnie had been so deep in thought that she didn't even hear the two siblings approach until she heard Klaus say her name. It was weird… how familiar it sounded to her ears yet so different from how it sounded in the present day. Like she said… weird.
"It is lovely to see you again," he told her with a smile that nearly melted her insides.
"You too," she smiled back at him.
"And how are you today?" he asked with interest as they still waited for Rebekah to catch up.
Before Bonnie even had the chance to reply, Rebekah had finally reached them and scolded her brother for leaving her behind.
"Stop acting like a child, dear sister," Klaus replied with humorous smile and Bonnie couldn't help but let out a giggle when Rebekah glared at her brother before kicking him in the shin, not hard enough for him to fall but hard enough for him to let out a small grunt of pain.
"Now; shall we get on our way?" Rebekah asked them, all traces of her annoyance gone and replaced with her usual bubbly smile.
Klaus turned to Bonnie. "Shall we?" He mimicked his sister and held his arm out for the young girl to take.
Bonnie eyed his arm for a moment before smiling and taking it. "We shall," she replied and the three of them set off.
Rebekah watching victoriously as her new friend and her brother remained close to each other.
Ayanna, Esther, Tamara and Godric all stood around Tamara's house. The four of them were in deep discussion about Bonnie and the task that had been set for her. Although Esther and Ayanna trusted Tamara, they were still concerned for what this task could hold. Ayanna was worried about her decedent and Esther was worried about her family.
"I assure you; no harm shall come to Bonnie during this task. She is under our protection," Tamara reassured the two women in her home. "The Spirits do not allow the chosen to come to harm."
Ayanna felt herself calm down after Tamara spoke. The Spirits may not be the friendliest of creatures but when they say something is protected, they mean it.
"Is there nothing of the task that you can tell us about?" Esther asked.
"We cannot reveal that information to anyone. Not even Bonnie,' Godric spoke. "She will know when it is time for her to know and so shall all of you."
"What of the mean time?" Esther questioned. "What shall Bonnie do until she is ready to perform this task?"
While speaking, Esther was thinking of Bonnie's blossoming friendship with her daughter Rebekah. Esther was grateful that her only daughter finally had a friend but it would be heartbreaking for Rebekah to lose Bonnie once she had to leave and return back to her own time.
"Bonnie is to do as she pleases," Tamara answered. "And I believe her friendship with Rebekah is really helping her settle here and once she is settled the more smoothly things will run."
"We have offered Bonnie out help with whatever she needs and I personally would love to perform some magic with her," Ayanna said with a smile.
Ayanna could sense that Bonnie was in possession of a lot of power but a large sum of that power was untapped, unused. Ayanna would like to help Bonnie to access that power.
"I am sure that Bonnie would love that but for the sake of our identity Godric and I would appreciate that you and Bonnie keep your family relations a secret."
Ayanna wasn't exactly pleased by those terms but she accepted them nonetheless.
"We also believe it to be necessary to keep Bonnie's witch side a secret to your family," Godric added after Tamara was done speaking.
"Is Mikael aware?" Tamara asked Esther.
The blonde haired witch nodded her head. "When I felt the shift, I informed him right away and when I saw Bonnie for the first time he knew as well. But do not worry; I will speak with him at once when he returns home with Elijah, Finn and Kol."
Her husband Mikael had taken three of their sons out on a hunting trip, they left only two hours ago so they should not be back until sometime tomorrow.
Esther was not completely happy that he had left Niklaus out of the occasion, but Mikael had claimed that somebody needed to stick around to protect herself, Rebekah and young Henrick but Esther knew differently.
Mikael had a connection with Elijah, Finn and Kol that he did not have with Niklaus. She knew that her husband has had thoughts that maybe Niklaus isn't his son but he has always pushed those thoughts aside, never believing that his wife could ever do something so disgraceful as sleeping with another man and bearing his child.
Oh, how wrong he was.
"Mikael knowing is fine but that is it. No one else, are we clear?" Tamara asked and the two witches in front her nodded in understanding.
Tamara smiled. "Wonderful. Any concerns you may have please do come and see either Godric or myself and we will do our best to answer your concerns."
With that, Ayanna and Esther left and Tamara turned to Godric.
"It seems everything is going according to plan," she smiled.
"Something troubles you, Son," Mikael commented to his son, Elijah as they rested by a lake. Mikael had noticed that Elijah had seemed distracted. He had not been as sharp as he usually is.
Elijah looked up at his father, shaking his head. "It is nothing," he replied.
"Does this by any chance have something to do with that young Bonnie girl that Rebekah has spoken so much about?" He asked Elijah with a knowing expression.
Mikael had overheard a conversation that Rebekah had with Niklaus about both him and Elijah being quite taken with the new girl.
According to his wife, Bonnie was not just an ordinary girl. She was like Esther and Ayanna, a witch. Esther had informed him right away when the felt the balance of nature shift the very same day that Bonnie arrived. They all knew that the Spirits were behind this. They always were.
"She is quite pretty," Mikael commented to his favourite son. Out of all his children, he was most proud of Elijah. He had all the traits that Mikael could ever hope for in a son.
"She is breathtaking," Elijah muttered and looked at out the water.
"If you are so taken with this girl then you should make your move. Don't let some other man snatch up what could be yours," Mikael advised his son. "We return home tomorrow. You shall make your move then," his words were not a suggestion but rather a request.
Mikael could accept this girl, but not if she chose Niklaus over Elijah.
So we have Elijah battling for her heart too and with the help from Mikael but don't worry Klonnie fans because Klaus has the clear advantage by having Rebekah on his side! hehe
I have decided to have short chapters with this story to draw it out a bit otherwise it may come to a close sooner than you think but like I mentioned in a previous chapter there will be a second part to this story set back in the present time.
I really hope you enjoyed this chapter and next chapter we will have some Klaus/Bonnie/Bekah bonding and some Elijah too along with Bonnie asking Tamara and Godric all sorts of questions.
Please review!
Sorry for any mistakes!
