A/N:Sorry for the wait Ive been celebrating my 21st bday all month tho it was on the 11th lol
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 awoke with a start; quickly sitting up in the cage. Her vision was a bit blurry but she could feel what was about to happen next and she had to get to Stefan before he noticed what happened.
"Bonnie?" She heard Damon call her name as he tried to move towards her but the chains and vervain that weakened him stopped him from reaching her. "Are you ok?"
"Wait," Mason spoke up as he eyed the young witch. "How do we know this is Bonnie and not Emily still possessing her?"
"It's her you dumb ass." Damon replied sharply. He looked back over to Bonnie to notice her eyes were dazed over as she focused on the cage around her, concentrating hard. Soon the cage door flew off across the room as she quickly crawled out the small metal prison. "Umm...Bonnie?" He watched as she ran past the three men, not sparring them a glance. "You forgot to untie us!" He yelled but she quickly mumbled something about Stefan needing to be stopped.
"Stefan? As in your brother? He's here?" Mason asked, saying what the other two was thinking. As much as he hated the Salvatore brothers he was a little happy to know Stefan was here. Though Stefan was more of the "bad" brother when it came to vampires; Mason actually got along with him.
Bonnie quickly went to open the door, gasping and falling back when she saw Stefan in front of her. He stared down at her with dark and confused eyes.
"Bonnie...what's..."
"LEXI!" Bonnie's eyes widened as she watched Stefan turn his head in the direction of Elena's screams. She could see the fear in his eyes but soon he was gone, running down the hall to the room where his friend had went in to rescue Caroline.
"Stefan! Wait!" She quickly got off the ground and raced out the room leaving Damon to stare at the scene in confusion. Why was Bonnie concerned about Stefan? And why was Elena and Caroline screaming the blond vampire's name?
"I was kinda hoping they'd unchain us..." Tyler spoke up as his head fell back to rest on the wall. "It would be nice to get out of here before Klaus returns..."
"Patience, Tyler. We both know how stupid vampires can be when it comes to rescuing." Mason replied to his nephew. He felt Damon's blue eyes stare at him. "No offence of course."
"We can always leave you mutts here to die. Because we all know how useless you guys are when there isn't a full moon." Damon smirked, "No offence of course."
Stefan stopped in his tracks as his eyes came across his friend's lifeless body. Lexi was now a purplish pale corpse; her blood stained all over the carpet floor as Caroline cradled her in her arms and cried her name over and over.
"Lexi?" He asked in a small whisper, feeling something inside him that he hasn't felt in forever. His chest ached like something was pulling at his heart as realization dawned on him that his best friend in the world was now truly dead. "Lexi!" He shot forward as Caroline quickly moved back in fear of him. He took his friend in his arms and continued to cry her name as tears came down his face, not wanting to let her go.
"Stefan!" Bonnie stopped as she realized she was too late to stop Stefan from seeing what happened to Lexi. Emily's powers within her allowed her to know what what was going to happen next. Though Bonnie did not like or trust Stefan and barely knew Lexi; she knew Lexi was the only thing that kept him somewhat sane since he really had no one else in this world that truly understood him.
"Bonnie!" The witch looked up to see her brunette friend rush towards her and pull him into a tight hug. For a little person, Elena was strong when it came to hugging. "You're alive! I knew it...I just knew it!" She cried as she continued to squeeze her in a death hug.
"Can't breathe..." Bonnie struggled as Elena finally released her and gave her a sheepish grin. She could tell from the look on her friend's face that she has been crying a lot. "Elena...you shouldn't be here...it's dangerous..."
"I will never leave you, Bonnie. I love you. You're my sister." Bonnie could feel her heart break alittle as she stared into her best friend's eyes; seeing what all this was putting her through. Elena looked like she hadn't slept in years and her eyes were big, red, and puffy. But right now she couldn't worry about that. She had to get Stefan before...
"Who did this?" He growled, breaking her out of her thoughts. She looked to see his eyes dark and demonic, his fangs extended as he glared at them. "Who killed Lexi?"
Caroline bit her lip in fear, obviously knowing how angered Stefan was right now. She's never seen him like this though she heard stories about his temper. This Stefan in front of her was not the same one who took her in and befriended her. This Stefan was...dark and angry.
"WHO FUCKING KILLED LEXI!" He shouted causing Elena and Caroline to jump. Bonnie stood her place by him, feeling his strength and anger radiate off his supernatural body. This was what she was afraid of.
They heard a cough come from Greta's body as the other witch weakenly got up. She had a sadistic grin on her face as she looked over at Stefan, "I did. No one drinks from me but Klaus. The bitch got a true death now..." She didn't get to scream as Stefan quickly attacked her throat, ripping at her skin and roughly draining her more.
"Stefan stop!" Elena screamed in horror but she stood her place as Stefan continued to attack Greta. "Bonnie...do something!" As much as she knew that Klaus' witch was the bad person she couldn't watch this.
Bonnie quickly used her powers to pull Stefan away from Greta. He struggled against the invisible hold that kept him against the wall as the witch once again fell to the floor with a hard thud.
"Caroline, go get Damon and them...they're tied up a couple of rooms down."
The blond vampire nodded as she quickly made her way out the room. Stefan was out of control and right now Damon was probably the only person that can control him.
Elena slowly made her way to examine Greta's body. "Is she...she isn't dead!" she exclaimed. "She's healing! Her wounds are healing!"
"She has Klaus' blood in her which is why she continues to heal but if I were to let Stefan stay on her she won't be so lucky." Bonnie replied as she continued to restrain Stefan. He yelled and cursed at her; threatening her to let him go or he'd kill her too. "As much as I hate the bitch I can't have Stefan kill her...at least not right now. The way I see it is if we take her we can get some insight to Klaus..."
"Genius." Bonnie turned to see Damon enter the room with the two other men stopping to stand outside the room with Caroline. Tyler took in the blood and bleeding witch and shuddered. "She's the closest one to Klaus and with her as our prisoner we can torture the bitch and know exactly what we're up against." Damon looked up to his brother. His face was stone and eyes dark and menacing. He hasn't seen that look on his face in years...not since he watched him slaughter the Bennett family. "Stefan, you need to calm down."
"He won't. We need to inject him with vervain."
Damon glanced over to Bonnie then nodded, "I'm sure there's..." He stopped and looked down to see Jules' dead body. He smirked, never really liking her. "She should have some!" He leaned down and began to go through her pockets hearing a low growl come from Mason. "She's dead, wolfie. Calm down."
"Doesn't mean you can touch her. Even if she was an evil, manipulative bitch...she's still a werewolf!" Mason replied, pushing Damon aside as he went through Jules' clothing himself.
"You ok?" Caroline asked as she watched Tyler silently look at Jules' body. She never really talked to Tyler because when she was still human her mother didn't allow her to associate herself with anything supernatural but they had a couple of classes together in school and he always seemed so cocky and confident. This Tyler in front of her now was nothing like the Tyler she saw at school.
The young brunette man shrugged. "It's just weird. In a couple of minutes my pack, father, and Jules were killed. How am I to know I'm not next?" he asked quietly. Sure some of the werewolves were horrible but that was the only family he ever knew. Now he only had his mom and Mason left.
"Believe me...family comes and goes. Doesn't matter how much they claim to love you." Caroline replied with a frown. "Blood related or not...someone will come along and love you. You'll find family again because it's in there." She pointed at his heart. "Plus I won't let anything happen to you, Tyler."
He looked over at her and she gave him a small reassuring smile that made him feel better. "Wait...didn't you use to cheat off me in math?" He asked suddenly as he began to remember her. She began laughing and nodded.
"Found it!" Mason exclaimed as he pulled out a small needle that had vervain in it. "Jules always did carry this around like it was a purse or something...I think she kept it around just in case she ran into you, Damon."
Damon rolled his eyes as he snatched the needle from him, "Well she's dead now. No use to her." He turned to make his way to Stefan who was still struggling against Bonnie's magic hold. Damon could tell his brother was no longer in there. The anger and thirst of the vampire has taken over any humanity left in him. "This is gonna hurt me way more then it's gonna hurt you, brother." He quickly stabbed it into Stefan's neck, surprised when he didn't react to it at all. "I think we might need some more..." Soon Stefan's eyes closed and he slumped to the ground. "Uhh...never mind."
Elena walked over to Bonnie's side. She looked over at Stefan's unconscious body with worried eyes. "What are we gonna do with him? We're not gonna hurt him are we?" She asked in fear.
"We're gonna calm him down. Lexi's death is gonna have a big toll on him." Bonnie replied. "We should grab Greta and get out of here. Klaus or one of his other witches might show up..."
Greta quickly stood up, fully healed once again. "You're not taking me anywhere!" She shouted, releasing a powerful force that caused everyone but Bonnie to fly back into a wall. "You're weak, Bennett! And I'm going to make sure to kill off anything left of your family!"
Bonnie smirked as everything around the room began to fly around and break, none of it fazing her. She figured Greta was too stupid to realize that she now had Emily's power in her too so it was going to take more than her little threats and power tantrums to throw her down.
"I'm a Bennett therefore I'm not weak!" She replied. "And it's gonna take way more than that to take me down, bitch!" Her eyes went pitch black as she shot her hand out at Greta; causing her to fly back and hit her head hard against the wall. She then pushed her up to the ceiling and held an invisible lock on her throat, choking her. "Heal from this." Bonnie said, dropping the other witch from the ceiling to the hard ground.
The others watched in shock as Greta remained unconscious this time; her skull bleeding from the hit. Bonnie was stronger. The vampires could sense it, the werewolves could smell it, and Elena could see it. Soon they were on their feet and no one but Damon dared to look at Bonnie.
"What did Emily do to you?" He asked suddenly. He's seen powers like that performed from her years ago. He knew that it was not only Bonnie's powers inside her body.
"She made me stronger...now grab your brother and Greta and let's go!"
Klaus sat back in his private jet plane. He had business to attend to with Elijah across the world and he was praying that Greta would be able to handle things by herself. Though the Bennett witch and Salvatore vampire were causing trouble within Mystic Falls he still had to make sure that rules were being kept up in other places. And everything was going smoothly everywhere else. Vampires, witches, and werewolves weren't as bad as the ones in Mystic Falls...he began wondering why. Why couldn't they all just listen?
When he first started to enforce the rule he got Greta. She was a good little adorable 8 year old raised by her father with an older brother. Klaus had them killed so he could make sure Greta would realize he was the only family she had left. At first she was reluctant. She would cry and beg him to let her go but she came around eventually.
He favored her because once she began to listen to him she then wanted to be just like him. The cute little girl he had taken from her family then became a heartless witch. She loved to torture others, she used her magic to do evil, and she was completely faithful to him. So of course when Greta became of age he really claimed her to be his. And they have been inseparable ever since. But like all over mortals, she would grow old and die. So he liked to keep other options open...
Bonnie intrigued him. As much as he hated to admit it there was something about her he wanted for himself too and Greta knew it and hated it. It's like being an only child getting spoiled your whole life to one day realizing you were no longer the object of your parent's affections. But being the last Bennett and seeing how Emily was able to possess her...he had to have Bonnie.
"How I do love these quiet flights, brother." Elijah spoke up. Klaus broke away from his thoughts to stare over at his grinning brother. "You've been quiet...worried about something?"
Klaus smirked, "Why should I be? Greta can take care of..." He stopped when he suddenly felt his connection from his number one witch go dead. He shot forward, his face turning demonic. "Greta!"
Elijah's grin faded quickly, "What's wrong?"
"We need to get back to Mystic Falls...NOW!"
They all went back to the Lockwood mansion feeling it was safer to be there than at the Salvatore's or anywhere else. That way no uninvited vampire could try to get in and since it was heavily guarded they would know if Klaus or one of his people would try to get in.
Damon didn't like the idea of working with Mason or his nephew. He hated werewolves but Bonnie convinced him that they needed them just as much as they needed us. But that still did not stop him from wanting to punch Mason in his smug face.
Stefan was put in the cellar to calm down and to Damon's amusement and shock the Gilbert girl also stayed down there in case he woke up or something...he thought Elena hated his brother but he guessed things had changed. Since Caroline was now healing and her and Tyler were bonding in the living room through some video games, Damon took this as the perfect opportunity to be alone with Bonnie.
She had Greta thrown in some room and had some spell so she couldn't get out when she awoke. It was nice to know that they had the stronger witch on their side.
"How's it feel to finally shower and change clothes?" He asked as he stood outside one of the many rooms of the Lockwood mansion Bonnie was in. She wore a simple t-shirt and jean shorts as he long wavy hair was newly washed and damp down her back. "Must feel nice to not be in a cage or cell."
The witch rolled her green eyes but surprised him with a grin. "Yeah...finally a nice bed in a huge mansion. Something all girls dream about."
"Not to mention a hot guy in your room too." Damon replied as he made his way towards her and sat on the bed. "You know when Klaus returns we won't have time like this together again. Don't you miss trying to kill and escape from me?"
"I can always just kill you right now and save Klaus the trouble." She smirked, "But seriously whatever Emily did to me...it renewed me...I feel like a completely new person. I'm no longer tired and angry all the time!"
Damon nodded, not wanting to bring up Emily right now. He figured since Bonnie already knew about his relationship with her ancestor it wouldn't be wise to bring it up since she now had a part of her in her. Also, the subject was just awkward as hell. He missed Emily...
"You loved her a lot, didn't you?" Bonnie asked, her voice low and serious as she examined his face. She knew what he was thinking, probably because the part of Emily in her knew Damon so well. She hated it though, she hated that she could no longer point her anger at him. "She loves you a lot."
He perked up, "Loves?"
"Yeah...I can feel it."
"So she's still in there?"
Bonnie shrugged, "She told me she wouldn't be for long but since she gave me everything she had she still is now...it helps me with my magic but I can still just feel her wanting you..." She trailed off, thinking she should not have told him that.
"And how do you feel?" He asked. He was hoping Bonnie wasn't just acting the way she was towards him because of Emily. He felt they were making so much progress now and if she was just being this way because of Emily he'd be disappointed.
"I'm not sure." She answered truthfully. "But before this I did...miss you...maybe a little."
He grinned. "Ahh, finally some honesty!"
"Well you're still alive. I gotta feel something to keep you around this long." She joked. Damon went quiet and she suddenly regretted saying that. Now was not the time to try and make a love connection with her ancestor's boyfriend. "Is Elena still in the basement?"
"Yup. She's gonna try and nurse Stefan back to health." Damon replied, not liking the change of subject. "Lexi dying...he won't be the same. He's out for blood. If I were Greta I'd be scared shitless because if he ever gets his hands on her..."
"Yo." They turned to see Mason standing in the doorway, his eyes on them with suspicion. "My shift babysitting the evil witch is over. Your turn, Damon." He tried to hold back his smile as Damon sent him the darkest death glare ever. "I can keep Bonnie company, don't you worry your little undead head about that."
"Right." Damon got up from the bed and walked over to the other man. "She's still mine, Mason. Don't you forget that." He whispered to him before pushing him aside to leave the room.
Mason chuckled then took his spot on the bed next to Bonnie. "If I make it through this and Klaus doesn't kill me...can you make sure I kill Damon?" he asked hopefully.
Bonnie smiled, "I'm sure he's on everyone's kill list but I can't allow that sorry." She pointed to her chest. "Emily's still in here and she's pretty smitten on him still."
"Well that sucks." Mason snorted, laying back onto the bed. "So that whole bad ass 'I'm the boss witch' now earlier was help from Emily? Cuz she kinda scares me..." He looked up to see Bonnie glancing down at him. "Oh crap...can she hear that? I'm sorry, Emily!"
Bonnie laughed, "Don't worry, Mason...no one is going to hurt you. You were nice to me and tried to protect me when I got here so I'm gonna do the same for you."
"Don't let Damon hear that...he'll rip me apart. And I thought werewolves were territorial...sheesh!"
Bonnie was about to reply till she saw Tyler and Caroline standing outside the room. They both looked confused about something but Tyler looked more like he saw a ghost as he stared at his uncle.
Mason noticed them too and sat up, "What's wrong...?"
"There's a woman here for you." Caroline spoke up, clearing her throat as she stepped aside to reveal a tall dark skinned female with brown eyes and long dark brown hair. "She...uhh...she says her name is Lucy Bennett."
Mason's jaw dropped as he stared at the woman who avoided his look.
"Bonnie? Bonnie Bennett...I'm your cousin."
