A/N: Yay update! I wont be updating for awhile since Im expecting a baby boy soon...! Sorry to say not much Bamon in this chapter but I promise you the next one will be all about them : )
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.
Damon held onto Bonnie's shoulders as she continued to cry out. His blue eyes examined her face and body; wondering what was causing her so much pain, but there was nothing harming her. He gritted his teeth and tried to call out her name some more but she was too engulfed in her own screams.
"Tyler! Get Stefan and Mason...NOW!" He shouted at the younger man who watched the scene in horror. He watched as Tyler quickly ran out the room to get Stefan and his uncle. Damon swept Bonnie up into his arms and placed her on the bed. "Bonnie...shh...Bonnie...what's wrong?" He asked, trying to remain as calm as he could.
"My...my...head..." She managed to answer through sobs. "I...Emily...something's wrong..."
Damon frowned at the mention of Emily. Not only was there something going on with Bonnie but now Emily was also in trouble? Someone out there must really hate him.
"I need you to relax...I'm gonna..." He was soon pushed roughly out the way as Lucy ran to her cousin with concern and anger. "The fuck! I said get Mason and Stefan!" He shouted turning to see Mason and Stefan standing next to Tyler, staring at Lucy as she cradled Bonnie's head in her arms. "What's wrong with her?"
Lucy bit her lip and frowned, "A spell. It's ripping Emily from her...it's...fuck...how could another witch know how to do this? Only a Bennett should know this spell..." She trailed off as realization hit her. She quickly turned to look at the guys, "Where is it? Where's Emily's grimoire?"
Damon was about to respond when he realized that during all the chaos he left it on the table next to the bed Greta was on when they placed her in that room. He mentally cursed and turned to Tyler, "How the fuck did you manage to let Greta escape? It was your turn to watch her you useless dog!"
"Hey!" Mason stood in front of his nephew and glared at the older vampire, "Don't talk to him like that! This could've happened to any of us! Greta's dangerous and strong and we should've killed her when we had the chance but no you wanted to keep her and torture her for answers!"
"Because that's the smart fucking thing to do!" Damon yelled back. "I should've known a Lockwood dog would fuck this up! She's free with Emily's grimoire...she can do damage with that!"
"We'll find her...she couldn't have went far!" Tyler spoke up. "I can track her down and get her before she makes it to anyone...before she makes it to Klaus."
Lucy got up and turned to them, her eyes angry and serious. "With that grimoire she can do major damage...there's a bunch of spells on werewolves. She can harm you...I'll go after her..." She stepped forward only to have Mason stop her.
"No." He said, his blue eyes looking over to her. "It's dangerous like you said. Me and Tyler can track her down. We're wolves; it's in our blood. Me and him together can handle it. You stay here and watch Bonnie..."
"Bullshit. She'll kill you before you even know it. I'll go." She began walking towards the door only to have Mason roughly grab her by the arm, pulling her back. She glared into his now yellow eyes, "Let go of me. I can handle Greta. I'm more experienced and I'm a Bennett..."
"I told you no!"
Damon rolled his eyes and pulled Mason away from Lucy, "Now is not the time for your guys bullshit. The more you bicker the further she gets away. You both go get her! Tyler and I will be here with Bonnie while Stefan keeps watch around the grounds. There's no way she could get past the security shit the Lockwoods have around this mansion!"
Lucy sighed then nodded her head. "Come on, Mason." She muttered before finally walking past him out the door. He looked after her than glanced at Tyler who shrugged.
"I'll be back...be careful."
"You too." The young brunette replied to his uncle.
Damon ignored them and turned his attention back to Bonnie who finally stopped crying. Her eyes remained open and emotionless as she stared up at him. And for the first time she looked really worried about something. What ever spell Greta did was not good.
"What's wrong...what did Greta do?" He asked, knowing she knew something but wasn't telling them.
"She..." Bonnie looked past him as Elena and Caroline joined the rest of them in the room too. "She...Damon, she took Emily out of me and brought her back...Emily's alive again."
Klaus sat back in his chair on the balcony of his penthouse. He was back in Mystic Falls and he was without his witch. Now he knew he had plenty of other replacements and he always said Greta was replaceable but he would get rid of her himself when he was done with her. There was no way that he was going to let Damon Salvatore play with his things.
His eyes darkened as he thought about the horrible things he was going to do once he got Bonnie Bennett. He hated how he underestimated her and he hated how she managed to mess things up without actually really doing anything. Then again it was Emily Bennett who killed a bunch of werewolves...
"Brother," Elijah slid open the door to join Klaus on the balcony. "I have something that may cheer you up since Greta is not here right now...it may come as a surprise actually."
Klaus frowned then looked up at his brother in confusion, "What in the world are you talking about?" he asked.
Elijah smirked then turned to look behind him at the unconscious woman on the couch. "I think we shouldn't count Greta out seeing as she managed to send you a gift from wherever she is...it seems she's managed to raise the dead."
Klaus quickly stood to his feet as he made his way back into the penthouse, his eyes widening at the body before him. "No way...Greta...you evil genius!" He grinned as he stared at Emily Bennett on his couch. "This is going to cause a war...and I think we may have a even bigger advantage now!"
Lucy and Mason quietly made their way towards the woods outside the Lockwood residence. Greta already made it out the grounds; probably using her power to make it past security but Mason could smell Greta's scent. She wasn't too far but they were being careful not to rush into things now that she had Emily's grimoire.
"Hold up." Mason placed a hand on Lucy's chest, stopping her. "Her scent stops here." He looked around the dark woods, sniffing. "That can't be right..." He frowned as he looked up and down, thinking maybe she was hiding so she could ambush them right there.
"She's a witch...she can confuse you which is why I'm here." Lucy replied, hitting Mason's hand off her chest. She looked up at the tall trees and frowned. So Greta was using the old invisible magic trick? "Amateur." Lucy muttered, smirking as she said a spell under her breath.
They soon heard a scream as Greta appeared between them on the ground, holding her head in pain as she glared up at Lucy. "Who the fuck are you...how'd you know to counter that spell?" She hissed angrily at the older witch who continued to smile down at her.
"Lucy Bennett...nice to meet you." Greta's eyes widened as she stared at her in disbelief. "I don't have all night...you're going to give me Emily's grimoire or I'm going to beat the crap out of you." She said impatiently, placing a hand on her hip as she glared down at Greta. She never got to meet the Klaus' witch, but she heard horrible stories about how ruthless and evil she was. Klaus favored her and taught her all he knew. Lucy thought it was pathetic actually; a vampire raising a witch.
Mason stood back and watched as Lucy took charge. He knew she was a lonewolf when it came to things like this and knew she preferred to be alone but there was something about Greta he would not let Lucy deal with alone. He was pretty sure she could take care of herself but Klaus' favorite witch was his favorite for a reason...she was a dirty player.
"It's weird really." Greta said, her mouth turning into an arrogant smirk. "Having a werewolf with you on a night like this..."
Lucy glanced over at Mason in confusion; wondering where she was going with this. "What are you talking about?" Mason asked angrily, not liking the way Greta now had her attention all on him now. "Just tell us where the damn grimoire is and maybe we won't kill you...maybe." He realized he was starting to sound like Damon with his threats now.
"No." Greta replied coolly. "Now...shouldn't you be chained up? I'd hate for you to hurt your friend here." She looked back at Lucy who glared at her. "With you about transform and all..."
"It's not a full moon tonight...ahhh!" He felt something in his body snap as he fell to the ground, sweat covering his skin quickly. Impossible, he looked up at Lucy with glowing yellow eyes as he felt the pain as his body began to change. He didn't have wolfsbane in him to weaken him...he wasn't chained up. "Lucy...run!"
Lucy looked at him in fear as she glanced over at Greta, "What did you do?" she asked. There was no way a werewolf could change when there was no full moon...there was no reason for Mason to transform right now.
"Emily has the greatest spells in that grimoire...it doesn't even have to be a full moon to turn these animals...and if I were you I'd run because he looks very angry."
Lucy looked over at Mason who continued to cry out as he changed. She bit her lip in decision as she took a step back. If she ran now she could make it back to the mansion and be safe from him but...
She ran towards him and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Come on, Mason...you can fight this spell! I know you can..." She whispered as he ripped off his shirt and clawed at the ground. This wasn't the first time Lucy saw him transform but it never got any easier for her to watch.
"I said RUN!" He shouted, pushing her back onto the ground roughly. "I'm changing, Lucy...run...now!" He gave out one last scream as his body contorted, his bones cracking to rearrange his structure.
"I'm not leaving without you." Lucy replied angrily. She turned to see that Greta was no longer there. "Fuck..." Looking back over at Mason, she knew she had to make a decision. If Greta got away with that grimoire they'd all be all in deep trouble but she couldn't abandon Mason again.
She heard a growl as she turned to see Mason fully turned into a werewolf. She didn't have time to react as he lunged forward at her; tackling her body to the ground. She screamed and fell back as Mason pinned her down, his teeth barring angrily as he growled down at her.
Lucy licked her lips slowly and remained still. He wasn't trying to kill her; at least not yet. She looked into his glowing yellow eyes and could see that he was waiting for something. Probably for her to fight back, scream, or run. Something a regular person would do during a werewolf attack...but Lucy was not regular and she wouldn't give Mason the satisfaction of her being afraid of him. Even though deep down she really was.
"Mason..." She said in a low whisper, hoping somewhere in there he could hear her. "It's me Lucy...Mason..." He snapped at her, nipping her neck as she quickly turned her head and shut her eyes closed. She could feel some blood begin to trickle from her neck and knew the only way out of this was to use her powers on him to hurt him.
CRACK! Mason was distracted by a noise behind him giving Lucy a chance to push him off. She quickly pushed him back, causing him to fly into a tree. Without another thought she scrambled to her feet and began running back towards the Lockwood mansion. She wasn't far when she noticed that Mason wasn't even chasing after her.
Lucy stopped in her tracks, looking around the dark woods expecting him to jump out at her anytime soon but he didn't. She didn't hurt him too bad did she? She mentally cursed as she found herself going back to where she threw him, speeding up her tracks when she heard a loud whine...like an animal being hurt.
"STOP!" She shouted as she spotted someone standing over Mason's body with a weapon. "Get away from him!" She ran over and pushed the man away from Mason, kneeling to him and petting his fur softly as he continued to whimper.
"I heard you screaming!" Alaric replied as he watched Lucy comfort the werewolf. "I was getting the things out the trunk and I saw it on you and thought you were in trouble..."
"I'm not!" She snapped, glaring at him. "This is Mason! That bitch Greta made him turn...and attack me...he's just confused!"
Alaric frowned and watched as the witch cradled the werewolf in her arms. He thought he was doing a good thing by protecting her but he obviously was wrong. "Umm..." He looked around, "Greta got away?"
"That tramp has my ancestor's grimoire and did something to Bonnie." Lucy replied, looking up at him. "She probably got far by now but believe me when I say we will see her again and I'm going to destroy her. She thinks she's the only bad witch around here? She has another thing coming." Lucy petted Mason once more, "Help me carry him back to the mansion."
Bonnie sat on the bed and stared at the floor while she listened to the others talking in the hall. She didn't need super hearing to know that it was about Emily and her being alive and out there. She didn't know how Damon was taking the news since he was so great at hiding his emotions but she knew one thing was for sure...he had to get to Emily before Klaus did.
Emily Bennett was a powerful witch but she was also angry about the way she died. She no longer trusted vampires or werewolves and she was out for blood since her lineage was murdered by Stefan. That's probably why Damon needed to get to her first, he wanted to protect his brother. If Emily saw Stefan she would be sure to kill him without a second thought.
The bedroom door opened and Damon made his way back into the room, stopping as he stared at Bonnie. He kicked the door close behind him with his foot and ran a hand through his hair as Bonnie watched him and waited for him to speak.
"Emily being out there alive is not good for us at all."
"Not good for Stefan you mean." Bonnie replied, "Seeing as how he murdered my family and worked under Klaus for years."
Damon watched her silently before walking towards her to join her on the bed. "I know Emily is your ancestor and I know you don't see her as a threat right now but what you need to understand is it's now going to be us vs. Klaus vs. Emily." He explained. "Emily won't pick our side. She doesn't care that you and Lucy are with us...she's been dead for so long that right now all she has on her mind is revenge."
"So!" Bonnie exclaimed, standing up and pacing the room. "She has every right to have that on her mind. I still haven't fully forgiven your brother and I doubt Lucy does too...you're Emily's lover why don't you just go up to her and talk to her..."
"We gotta find her first!" Damon interrupted angrily, his light eyes getting dark as he stared at Bonnie. "You don't even realize, Bonnie...and it's fucking annoying...you don't even realize..."
Bonnie stared at him trying to understand what he meant. He's now angry at her and he has no right to be! It wasn't her fault Greta escaped, it wasn't her fault Emily was now back. "I don't understand what, Damon? Please explain it to me because I've been through a lot right along with you guys! I'm here and I'm fighting...I've been fighting for years! Just because Emily wants to kill Stefan doesn't mean..."
"It's not only Stefan, Bonnie!" He shouted, getting up from the bed as he stalked towards her. "The Lockwoods...as in your little friends Tyler and Mason. The Gilberts, as in Elena...the Forbes...Caroline...they're all on Emily's shit list because they were all there!"
Bonnie frowned and stepped back from him. "But...it wasn't them...it was their ancestors. Emily wouldn't punish them because of their ancestors."
Damon let out a humorless laugh. "You know nothing about Emily Bennett then...us...all of your little friends...we're all in deep shit. I rather let Klaus get to us first than see what Emily has up her sleeves for us."
Klaus sat beside Emily as she continued to lay unconsciously on the couch. His dark eyes examined her body that was still in the old dress they burned her in. Her hair was pulled back into a tight bun and her skin looked warm and flushed. He reached up to caress her cheek, admiring the flawless skin that reminded him of Bonnie.
"You are going to be so great for me...and once Damon realizes I have you he may even trade in the younger one for you...but now that I think about it I want you both." He grinned as he remembered the times he shared with Emily back when she was alive. "I didn't want them to burn you but it was the best opportunity to take over since they took their strongest witch out...even though I was the one who had the rest of the Bennetts killed years later." He chuckled softly, remembering how Stefan did his evil deed. "But Bonnie...she survived and if only you could see how beautiful she grew up to be...how strong she'll be."
His hand stopped stroking her cheek when she began to flinch, her long lashes fluttering open as she stared at the man before her. He watched as she took in her environment and realized what was happening; that she was back.
"Hello, Emily." He grinned but he was met with an angry scowl. "Now...I wouldn't do anything stupid if I were you." He reached out for her again but she quickly grabbed his wrist in her hand, heat burning into him. "Ughhh...Emily..." He struggled against her grasp, trying to pull away but she was stronger. Emily was stronger than him. "LET ME GO!" He yelled as his flesh began to burn off.
Emily leaned forward, her face inches away from his as her dark eyes bored into his, "If you think I am going to sit back and let you get to Bonnie or use me...you have another thing coming. I am not going to let you destroy me again...I am going to take you all down." she threatened. She quickly turned and shot out her hand at Elijah who tried to attack her from behind, throwing him across the room into the bar. "You vampires are disgusting creatures. I think I may change the law around here...witches will be your masters." She smirked evilly. "Now...I have a date with a Salvatore brother." She roughly tossed Klaus back and out the balcony.
