A/N: When the vamps are away Emily comes out to play : ) I think this will show why Damon and her were compatible. This is also a blah chapter.
Summary: In a world where vampires own witches as their slaves, one witch refuses to give into the stereotype giving one Damon Salvatore a run for his reputation of destruction. Bamon.
Bonnie didn't know what was happening to her. The cellar was now filled with the other guys cries of pain and pleads yet she continued to torture them with aneurysms and watch as they began to bleed out their ears, eyes, and nose. She could no longer feel herself controlling her body; it was like she was stuck way inside herself...in a dark place where she couldn't control anything she was now doing. She felt like a vegetable.
What's happening to me?
"I'm happening to you." She heard herself say over the screams of the men. "Don't fear me, Bonnie, I'll protect you while Damon is away."
But...who...Emily? You know Damon? What's going on?
"You ask too many questions." She watched as she stepped back and kicked one of the men. "Werewolves were always vile creatures..."
How are you controlling my body?
"I'm a spirit therefore I am possessing you. But you will hear about all that later...I need you to rest, Bonnie. Rest so I can fully take over."
You already are taking over!
"It's not enough." Soon all went black for Bonnie as she felt herself drift off; meanwhile Emily Bennett was back in her own body. "Now let's see if I can get us out of here..."
"You bitch!" One man growled, "You'll never get out of this house alive! The pack will murder you for this!"
Emily frowned at him, "I let the pack kill me once. There's no way I'm letting my bloodline die off because one vampire thinks he can control us all. It's time I taught all of you a lesson. Do not mess with the Bennett witches." She grabbed the nearby candle and threw it at them; watching as they burst up into huge flames. "Not so fun is it?"
"That's the spot...wow, Mayor Lockwood is loaded!" Caroline exclaimed as she looked out her car window at the mansion ahead of them. She frowned at the many cameras and tall gate. "There's no way we can get in there without them noticing us, Damon."
"We're vampires, Caroline, we can do anything." He replied as he parked the car. "We're gonna sneak in through the back entrance, kill everyone, then make our way out the front."
"But...how do we know Bonnie is even still alive?"
He glared at her causing her to look away quickly. He knew he still intimidated her and since it was her first time doing anything like this he should probably be a little more easier on her but right now was not the time for stupid questions. "I just know. I would feel it if she were dead."
The blond vampire looked back at him in amusement, trying not to grin. "You'd feel it? Really, Damon? Feel it where?" She glanced down at his lap then back up at his face, "You know what...I don't even wanna know...ewww."
Damon rolled his eyes and tilted his head back to stare at the ceiling in annoyance. "This is what I get for befriending a 17 year old preppy high school girl."
"Well excuse me for having a filthy mind..." He quickly slapped a hand over her mouth as he listened intently; hearing two voices nearby.
"You know Richard is in charge and I can't disobey him...he's my brother but he'll have us both killed."
"So you're just going to chain me up back here like some animal?"
"We are animals, Tyler."
Damon slowly moved his hand from Caroline's mouth, grinning, "Seems like there's already two of them in the back waiting for us. I'll get one and you'll get the other. You ready?"
Caroline shook her head, "I don't know, Damon...how do we know there's only two? What if they call the others? What if they have Bonnie stored away somewhere we can't find...what if..." She stopped, realizing Damon was no longer in the car with her. She let out a frustrated sigh and opened her car door.
Tyler sat back on the grass as Mason began to bring out the chains. He was still weakened from the wolfsbane Jules threw on him and was pretty sure it'll take hours before he would be able to get out and check on Bonnie. Frowning, he thought about the witch and what those men could be doing to her right now.
To say his father was old school would be an understatement. Richard should have been born in the mid eval ages where Kings and Queens beheaded, raped, tortured, and killed their enemies. He would've been perfect back then, but right now his father was a borderline psycho. Looking up at his uncle, he hoped it didn't run in the family.
"You're gonna just sit here as they do horrible things to my friend?" Tyler snapped, "Those men are disgusting and you know it. Who lets five grown ass men do that to a teenage girl? A pussy does. My father is no better than Klaus!"
"Hush before Jules hears you!" Mason replied. "Tyler, you know times has changed. We have rules now...if it's not Richard telling us to do then it'll be Klaus or some other vamp."
"If that were Lucy you'd..."
"Shut up!" Mason growled, grabbing him roughly by the neck. "Lucy is not here anymore...she's gone. Don't you ever mention her again! There's nothing we can do to stop those guys from harming Bonnie..."
"Harming Bonnie?" They turned to see Damon and Caroline both in their vampiric forms sneering at them. "See...now that's just gonna make this much more fun, Mason."
Mason grinned, pushing Tyler aside as he stared at his enemy. Damon Salvatore and Mason Lockwood never got along. The only thing they had in common was their taste for the Bennett witches; Damon was less than thrilled that Bonnie was now in his territory.
"Well...you look exactly the same."
"Never age, bro."
"You just called me bro? Have you been feeding on some fraternity guys?"
"No...just been stuck dragging around a teenage blond all day."
"Hey!" Caroline snapped, glaring over at Damon who continued to smirk at Mason arrogantly. "Look, you said we were to kill them and get in there I say we cut the chit chat and just...Tyler?" she stopped as she spotted her high school friend chained to the grass. "Geez, Tyler...I heard rumors about your father being a dick but this is ridiculous!"
"You would know him." Damon replied, not surprised. "Either way, I agree with Barbie vamp here. I say we quit the talking and just get to it..."
"As much as I'd love to kill you..." Mason looked over to Tyler who gave him a pleading look. "Me and my nephew agree with what you wanna do here." He said finally. Mason never thought he'd see the day where he would be working with Damon and from the look on the vampire's face neither did he.
"So...you want to help us kill you?" Damon asked, giving him a confused look. "Wow...you guys are really stupid."
Tyler got up angrily and stopped when the chains held him in place. "Enough! We want to help you get Bonnie out of here! She's in the basement with a bunch of guys my father sent to teach her a lesson!"
Damon's face dropped as he paled at the thought of some dirty werewolves touching her. His eyes went darker and redder, his fangs getting bigger. "Where is she?" he asked suddenly, his voice low and dangerous.
"In the basement in the..." The back door suddenly opened as Jules ran out the mansion, breathing heavily. Her clothes were drenched in blood and ashes.
"Jules?" Mason asked, more confused than concerned about her presence. "What the hell is going on?"
"Emily...Emily Bennett is back!"
Damon's eyes widened as he went back to his normal form. "That's not possible...Emily's dead. She died centuries ago." He replied angrily. There was no way Emily was here...he watched her die, he watched Klaus and the others kill her.
Jules glared at him, not caring why he was here. "She's here, Damon...probably because of you! She has Richard!" Tyler and Mason both looked at her. "She's going to kill him!"
"Not exactly." If he wasn't already dead, Damon was pretty sure he'd have a heart attack by now. There in front of them stood Emily Bennett, a woman who was killed centuries ago but was pretty much alive right now. She wore the outfit Bonnie had on last time he seen her...which made him wonder. Where's Bonnie? "You see, I got him right here." She pushed Richard forward towards Jules, watching him fall in pain to his knees.
"You fucking, bitch!" Jules charged at her only to stop and hold her head in pain too. "You...I'll kill you!" She screamed, her eyes turning a yellowish color.
"I don't think so." She finally turned to Damon as the others gaped at her. "Damon...you look exactly the same."
"So do you." He replied. He didn't move forward; as much as he wanted to he didn't. This was Emily but right now she was on a homicidal mission like he was. Plus she always hated vampires and they weren't exactly on good terms last time they spoke. "How is this even possible?"
Emily grinned, "I got my ways. You protected Bonnie...she was as stubborn and reckless as I was when I was alive therefore her body was the most perfect one to possess. She isn't exactly the last Bennett," Her eyes went to Mason, "But she's the only one willing to fight the good fight."
"Are you gonna kill us?" Tyler asked suddenly as he stared at her. His father and Jules were still on the ground in tears and he didn't know what else she did to the other wolves. "Where's Bonnie?"
"Bonnie is...taking a rest. I'm in charge of the body...and I'm not going to kill you all." Emily replied, taking in his scared expression. She looked down at Richard. "He needs to die."
"I agree." Damon nodded. He stepped towards Richard and glared down at him. He never liked the man or the way he ran his werewolves. If he was gonna start trying to change things around here he might as well start with him.
"Wait!" Tyler exclaimed, "He may be a horrible person but he's still my father! If you kill him...you're no more better than him...please...just...let me handle him."
Emily grinned then glanced over at Damon. "A lot has changed about you, Damon...you're so quick to react with your feelings. But you still have that need to save people. So since you're more human than I will ever be now...this is your choice. Want him to live?"
The vampire smirked as he looked down at Richard's pleading face. Emily was right, he was the one who would have to deal with the consequences of his actions since he was sure she wouldn't be around long since she was only possessing Bonnie. He looked up at her and remembered all the innocent fun times they shared together; the memories that was ripped from him.
He reached down and roughly grabbed Richard by the hair, pulling him to stand up. "Tell me...is it true you sent men to rape Bonnie?" he asked, curiously.
Richard looked at him in fear then glanced over at Mason, Jules, and Tyler who watched in silence. "I..." He met the vampire's eyes and smirked bravely, "I did. And you know what? I was going to kill the bitch afterwards and dump her body in the river."
Damon chuckled humorlessly as Emily stared at the man in anger at his intentions. "Yeah...I hope you had a fun life because it ends now." Soon his face turned demonic as he ripped Richard's head off, kicking the rest of his body to the ground as his blood spilled everywhere.
"NO!" Jules screamed, falling to the ground to crawl towards Richard's decapitated body. "NO! Richard...no!"
"That...was disgusting." Caroline commented as Damon continued to hold his head up.
Emily stepped towards Damon, liking how he didn't step away from her or fear her anymore. "I knew you were gonna give them hell, Salvatore." she said. "I saw it in your eyes the night they killed me. Just like I saw it in Bonnie after your brother killed the Bennetts."
"Stefan didn't know what he was doing...he was just taking orders." Damon replied defensively. He didn't know why he felt the need to defend his brother to her but he knew right now Emily was ready to kill anyone who has wronged her and her family. "Emily, look..."
"No!" She snapped at him. "Your brother is the reason for this mess and Bonnie's misery! You think I'm going to just let him get away with that?"
"Wow...your ex is a real psycho." Caroline whispered to Damon who continued to look at an angered Emily. She could tell the witch was not pleased with any of them right now which made the blond vampire wonder what happened to her to make her so bitter?
"You use to love me." The witch said finally, causing Damon's heart to drop. "Long ago you loved me but now you see things in a different way because you've become one of them..."
"I still love you, Emily." He interrupted sharply. "And as much as me and Stefan have fucked up...I won't let you kill my brother like I would never kill any of your family. I saved Bonnie, remember?"
"Should I give you an award for that?" She asked coldly.
"Dammit, Emily!" He snapped, stepping closer to her. "Don't act like this! Don't act like this with me! I know you hate them all for what they did...I hate them all too but Stefan has nothing to do with this anymore! This is all Klaus' fault and you know that, Emily...don't be stupid."
He watched as the witch looked away from him with a scowl. He hated that this is how their first meeting in centuries was going. This was not how he pictured how it would go if he ever saw her again. Emily was beyond mad at everything that happened to her and her family and he couldn't blame her but she was pointing her anger at the wrong people.
"You act like you're any better than me." She spoke up finally, pointing to Richard's body. "That was your choice, remember?"
"Richard Lockwood was a bad guy period." Damon replied, looking over at Mason and Tyler who were still in shock over his death. "I'll kill anyone who tries to hurt the people I care for...who hurts Bonnie."
Emily smirked, "Ahh...so I've been replaced in your heart?" she asked, watching as he squirmed at her gaze. "By Bonnie Bennett?"
"For the last time I still love you...you never left my heart."
"Well isn't that just too cute." Damon cursed under his breath as he heard a familiar voice behind him. It was only a matter of time before he would catch on to what him and Caroline were doing but he thought he would have finished what he started by now. Emily put a little bump in their plan. "I had to watch on the news as my lovely building was burned...not to mention you killed some of my employees. Greta could sense you over here at the Lockwoods..." He stopped as he looked down at Richard's body, "Nice work."
Caroline quickly stepped away from the elder vampire to Damon's side in fear. She watched as Mason and Tyler glared over at him and stood their ground while Jules finally got up from crying on the ground.
"Don't be afraid." Klaus said, grinning at Caroline. "I'm not here to harm you...much..." His eyes went to Emily and widened in shock, "Wow...beautiful as always! I never thought I would see you again...that is a neat trick."
"I'll show you a trick!" She spat as she stormed towards him, causing him to fly back into a tree. "I'm going to...UGHH!" She felt a sharp pain hit her lower back.
"Bonnie, Bonnie...come out and play!" Greta whispered happily in the other witch's ear as she twisted the knife in Emily's back. "I know you're still in there, bitch!" she said as Emily tensed, her body turning back into Bonnie.
Damon charged at Greta in anger as Bonnie fell to the ground. "Emily! Bonnie!" He yelled but was stopped when Jules quickly tackled him to the ground. He grabbed her by the throat but she quickly threw vervain onto his face making him release her quickly to hold his head in pain.
"Always got vervain growing in the backyard, Damon!" Jules yelled angrily. "You're going to pay for what you did to Richard!"
Klaus grinned devilishly as he watched Bonnie begin to stir awake, "Ok...now that I have all your attention...you're all coming with me."
Stefan sat in the Gilbert's living room as Elena continued to cry into her pillow. He tried everything to make the girl stop; he tried making her something, telling her Bonnie would be fine, even told her that Damon was going to bring her back but the girl was a miserable mess. It's been forever since he was human and he really didn't understand their emotions anymore but Elena was just reminding him of how vulnerable they could be.
"Look...it's time I left...I'm sure your parents or somebody will be home soon." He said finally as he got off the couch across her and made his way to the front door. He didn't wanna be rude or anything but it wasn't like she was exactly dying or doing anything that would make him stay and watch her any longer. She was just sitting there...crying! And she wouldn't stop. He even put a glass of water on the table by her just in case she got dehydrated.
"Wait!"
Stefan stopped in shock as he heard her speak for them first time since he dragged her out his house. He turned to look at her tear stained face, "Uhh...yeah? Can I get you anything before I leave?"
Elena sniffled then sat up slowly on her couch with her head down. "I..." She breathed, trying to regain her strength. "Thank you for...for trying to console me. It's just...I love Bonnie and if what Tyler told me about the Lockwood household is true then I really just...they do horrible things there, Stefan."
He frowned and slowly made his way back into the living room, "What do you mean?" He had heard that werewolves were ruthless but that was all from Damon. Plus Damon had hated werewolves for forever so Stefan never took anything he said about them serious. And vampires were no angels.
"When we were younger...Tyler would come to school with the most horrible bruises and cuts on him...his father is a monster!" Elena blurted, her big brown eyes finally meeting his. "Mayor Lockwood gets away with a lot because Klaus could care less what he does as long as it doesn't interfere with you vampires!"
"Trust me, Elena...Bonnie will be fine. Damon won't let anything happen to her as much as it pains me to say this...he actually cares for her."
"Do you think he..." KNOCK! KNOCK! They exchanged confused glances before Stefan walked to the front door to answer it, wondering who would be visiting right now. He knew her parents wouldn't be back for another couple of hours.
"Hello, hot stuff." Lexi grinned as Stefan opened the door. "Don't you look glamorous today."
"What are you doing here?" The other vampire asked as he slowly examined his friend. "You ok? Something happen?"
"Well..." She bit her lower lip then sighed, "Stefan...Klaus has your brother, Caroline, and the witch."
"Fuck." He cursed looking back at Elena who then began crying again. "We're gonna have to go get them."
