A/N: I didnt know that someone out there actually liked Greta lol. New characters : ) All I can say is Bonnie is the best and I actually really like Rebekah character 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.
Damon watched as Bonnie quickly tackled an unsuspecting Greta, slamming her into the wall full force before they both fell to the floor. Bonnie had the upper hand so far but knowing that Greta was a sneaky, cheating witch he figured he should pull them apart right now before someone (hopefully NOT Bonnie) got really hurt. Moving towards the two fighting witches, he felt a small hand grip his upper arm and pull him back. He looked down to see Emily's dark eyes glaring up at him.
"Leave them alone. This was a long time coming. Bonnie needs this."
He rolled his eyes at his ex, "Oh really? And you know this how? You've only been alive for a couple of hours." He replied sharply, regretting his words as she visibly paled at them. "Look, Emily...this really is confusing as fuck for me but right now Bonnie is fighting a witch with powers much more stronger..."
"You think that, huh?" Was all she said before turning back to look at the other two girls.
"M-my powers! They're gone!" Greta screamed out as she attempted to magically push Bonnie off her with no help. "You bitch! You took my powers!" Emily smiled down at her. "You will regret...ughh!" She didn't get another word out because Bonnie was back on her, swinging away.
"This is going to be a fair fight, girls." Emily exclaimed, grabbing Damon once more as she began to walk towards the door. "Only one of you will make it out here alive as Elijah nicely put it...bye, Greta."
"Where are we going?" Damon asked, his eyes still on Bonnie and Greta's fight as he followed Emily out into the dark and dusty hallway. He didn't feel right just leaving them in there by themselves...what if Bonnie was the one to lose to Greta?
"To heal you." Was all Emily said before she turned him towards her and examined his bleeding wounds. She traced them with her fingertips, ignoring as he stiffened at her touch. "You need blood...badly..."
"I don't. It'll heal itself. Don't baby me." He replied angrily, swatting her hand away from him.
She chuckled, "Stubborn as always, Salvatore."
"Pushy as always, Bennett. I can see it runs in the family."
Emily ignored him and concentrated on his wounds. "Here." She grabbed a rusty old piece of glass from the dirty floor and pressed it to her wrist, watching as little dribbles of blood came out.
Damon watched in fear, his eyes watching the blood then looking back at Emily who held her wrist out to him. "Drink." She said, not noticing how uncomfortable he was getting.
"That's unsanitary. You're alive now and I'm pretty sure you caught some kind of disease from putting that dirty old..."
"Drink." Emily said again, ignoring his rant. She shoved her wrist closer to his face and grinned when he flinched away. "My blood is normal...I promise you."
"That's not it..."
"Don't you trust me anymore, Damon?" She asked curiously. He frowned and looked down at her. She could tell he wasn't happy about her questioning their past relationship but he's been so different around her lately just because their last encounter wasn't so good.
"Emily..." CRASH! They both turned and looked towards the room they left Greta and Bonnie in. Sharing looks, they both raced into the door and found Bonnie standing in the middle on the room, bruised and dirty, looking out a broken window.
"Bonnie?" Damon asked as he went forward and looked out the window, seeing Greta's broken and bloody body on the ground below. "Wow...that had to hurt." he commented, turning to examine her. Her face was scratched and puffy, her clothing ripped. "Greta must've put up a great fight."
"But she's dead now. So it obviously wasn't good enough." Bonnie replied.
Emily laughed. "Well...I think it's time you two went to check on the others. I'm sure Klaus has got to them..." She was about to turn and leave when she felt Damon grab her arm. She watched as he brought the blood stained wrist up to his mouth and licked it, "Damon..." He licked the blood again and she glared at him. "Just take the blood already."
Bonnie rolled her eyes at them, "Get a room, please." She was about to walk past them until Damon finally bit into Emily's wrist with a loud crunch. Emily held back a scream and let him take some blood from her. Bonnie watched the scene in fascination. Never had she watched a person willingly let a vampire drink from them without being compelled or forced roughly. There was something so sensual about it...or maybe it's just because it was Damon and Emily doing it.
Finally he removed his mouth from her wrist and they watched as he healed up.
Emily gave him a satisfied smile, "Bye, guys."
"Wait...where the hell are you going?" Damon asked angrily as he watched her walk out the door. Him and Bonnie followed her out into the hall as she walked away from them. "There's no way you're going to leave us again."
"I have to do something. You guys have each other so you two can go help the others." Emily replied.
"Emily...I still don't know how to use my powers fully!" Bonnie exclaimed as she watched her ancestor, "It's not like I still have you in me telling me what to do..."
"You don't need me, Bonnie." She glanced over at Damon, "You both don't...you'll find that out soon enough."
"What the fuck does that mean?" Damon asked. He hated how she kept coming and going as she pleased. She was alive now. She could help them fight and they could get back those years they lost together...
"You can't keep leaving us like this." Bonnie said aloud, saying what Damon was thinking. He saw the pained look on the young Bennett's face but Emily chose to ignore it. "Please..."
"I'll be back." Was all she said before leaving down the stairs. "You two did fine before I came along, you'll do fine without me. This is no longer my fight."
Damon decided to not go after her. If she needed to go then he'd let her because right now was not the time to talk about them. He looked over to Bonnie who had a pained look on her face, she didn't even bother trying to hide it. Bonnie never had parents or anyone to teach her to be a witch. So Emily was everything Bonnie was missing in life and for her to keep leaving made it hard for her.
"It's me and you, Bonnie." He said finally, reaching out to her. He watched as she nodded then took his hand. "Don't worry. I won't leave you."
Once outside, Emily let out a breath of air. She didn't want to leave them, not again. But she knew she couldn't stay for any of this. This was their time, their fight. She wasn't even suppose to be alive right now. The voices kept telling her she was interfering with what was meant to be...she had to leave Damon and Bonnie alone.
Sighing, she ran a hand through her curly locks. And looked up at the darkening sky. Of course it was going to rain...great. Maybe if she left now she would miss the oncoming storm. Or maybe she should just go back in there and tell them why she was doing this. She saw the pained look in both of their eyes, they wanted her to stay. But right now they need each other. And to defeat Klaus and his people they would have to trust each other and work as one.
"I hope you spirits are right about these two because Damon deserves to be happy...Bonnie deserves to be happy." With that said she made her way down the street.
Stefan followed Klaus, Pearl, Anna, and Tyler's mom into one of Klaus' millions of houses. This one was older than what he would usually live in. The bricks of the place was covered in moss and plants were growing in between the creaks. He looked towards Anna who still held onto an unconscious Elena and he felt his heart drop. He was almost positive that if he didn't get blood in her soon she'd die.
Caroline whimpered by his side. "Tyler's still not moving, Stefan...why isn't he moving?" She asked, tears streaming down her face.
Klaus rolled his eyes, "Baby vamps and their human emotions are truly annoying." He looked back at Caroline. "Your little wolf friend is fine. I wouldn't kill him because I need him...seeing as he one of the last Lockwoods here...I wonder how Mason is doing with his lady friend."
"You jerk!" Caroline cried out, "You're going to regret everything you ever done to us! You do nothing but ruin lives for your own sick pleasure! I hate you! I hate you so much!" Stefan pulled her back when she tried to go after the Original. "I can't wait to see you dead and buried!"
"Well that one has spunk."
Klaus turned to see his sister Rebekah standing on the porch with her witch Gloria by her side. The both of them looked bored. Rebekah was what you would call the "rebel" of the family. She could never stay in one spot and seemed to always come and go when she was done with her plans. She wasn't one to listen to Klaus as Elijah would, and she made sure he knew it.
"Can I have her?" She asked, looking over at the young blond. "She has such pretty futures...I always wanted a baby vamp..."
"This baby vamp already has me, Rebekah."
"Shame." She walked over to him and gave him a brief hug, "Where's my dear brother Elijah at?" She asked, looking around the group till her eyes stopped on Stefan. She grinned, "Stefan Salvatore? Nice seeing you again..."
Stefan watched her silently as she made her way over to him. Rebekah was the one who always encouraged his dark past. She pushed him to be more violent until Lexi finally got him away from her. "Rebekah." He nodded, grabbing Caroline's hand and pulling her to his side as the Original stared at them. "Nice seeing you again."
"Liar." She spat as she turned on her heel and walked back over to Klaus, "Gloria and I were just in town. Where is sweet Greta at?" She asked. Klaus knew that Rebekah had a thing for his witch. She admired the way she was and would always bring her gifts back from her travels. "I got her something..."
"Spoiling my witch, again?" He asked with a grin. "She should be arriving with Elijah shortly. I had them kill a pest that's been running around town ruining things for me."
"Damon Salvatore?"
"I see you've been watching the news."
Rebekah grinned, "Had to keep tabs on my brothers of course. I told you to kill him years ago. You never listen to me..."
"Not now."
"Yes now! And what's this Gloria and I hear about a Bennett witch being alive?" She asked incredulously causing Gloria to fold her arms and glare at Klaus too. "I thought all the Bennetts were corpses."
Klaus smirked, "Bonnie Bennett is different."
"Don't tell me you've gotten feelings for this witch!" The platinum blonde woman exclaimed as she glared at her master's brother. "You know better than anyone how these Bennetts are..."
"Do not be jealous, Gloria!" Klaus interrupted giving the witch a flirtatious wink. "Greta has got that emotion down. Speaking of," He looked around and frowned wondering where his witch and Elijah were. "They should be here by..." He stopped when he spotted his brother joining them...alone. "Where is Greta?"
Elijah frowned as she stared at his brother then over to his sister. "Rebekah? What do we owe the pleasure of this visit? And the lovely Gloria...you have not aged one bit!" He greeted as he kissed the witch's hand.
"Still the charmer, Elijah..."
"Where. Is. Greta?" Klaus repeated, more angrier as he stared at his brother. "She was suppose to..." He stopped when he felt something being ripped from him. He clenched his stomach and let out a groan, his dark eyes looking up into his siblings' worried ones. "What..." He never felt something like this before. He felt like there was a whole being left opened in his body. "Greta..." Something happened to his witch. Something happened to Greta.
"Brother?" Rebekah asked, worried. She rushed over to his side and looked over him, "What is wrong?" She looked back at Elijah who just stood there, "What's going on?"
He shrugged nonchalantly as Klaus doubled over and held his stomach. "I don't know...I was suppose to meet up with her to finish Damon and his witch but when I got there she was dead and the Bennett was nowhere to be found. I think she beat me to him..."
Klaus shot forward and grabbed his brother by the neck, choking him. "You were suppose to help her get rid of Damon and bring me Bonnie! You two were suppose to do this together! That was all I asked of you, Elijah! You can't do one thing right!" He yelled, his eyes dark. "Greta. Is. Dead." For the first time in centuries they heard Klaus' voice crack. "My witch...is dead. And they will pay." He tossed his brother to the side and turned to look at Stefan and Caroline who stepped back in fear. "No more Mr. Nice Guy."
"Brother..." Rebekah reached out for him but he quickly turned away and made his way in the house, leaving everyone to look after him in silence. "Well," she said after awhile as she turned to the others, "I guess everyone should just go inside."
"What should I do with the human girl?" Anna asked, looking down at Elena. "She's still bleeding and Klaus ordered me to not kill her...yet..."
"Hmm, place her on the dinner table." She grinned, glancing over at Stefan. "He's looking a little hungry...I think he may need a something to eat."
Stefan frowned then looked away from her to Elijah who began to get off the floor, dusting himself off. He watched as a small grin graced the Original's mouth. Elijah was up to something, and he was not the only one to notice.
"Take them all inside." Rebekah ordered Pearl as she looked over at her brother, noticing what Stefan did. Once the rest of the people was inside she walked over to him with a look of suspicion. "You are up to something, Elijah..." Before he could reply she roughly pushed him back, "Don't you dare lie to me! I know that look! Greta was the only thing that Klaus held dear though he would never admit it out loud! Do you know what her being dead is going to do to us? He is going to go ballistic and I refuse to let him throw temper tantrums while I am around!"
"Why? Because that's your job?" Elijah smiled, but his sister was not amused. "Look, I'm not up to anything. What happened to Greta is unfortunate but it was not my fault...I promise you, sister."
She eyed him up and down for a minute before shaking her head and walking towards the house. "I pray you're telling the truth. We wouldn't want what happened to you to happen again. We all know what happens when you try to betray Nic."
Elijah watched her as she joined the others in the house. "Oh sweet sister, Klaus is not going to win this time." He whispered to himself with a smirk. "Is the job done?" He asked, turning to spot Emily standing behind him with her arms folded. "Sorry, that was a stupid question. From my brother's reaction I know Bonnie killed Greta."
"Look," Emily made her way towards him, "I know we made this deal right before your brother had me burned at the stake but I didn't know that years after that he was going to have Stefan murder my family..."
"That was not my fault..."
"I know." She interrupted with a sharp look, "Thanks to Damon I have two family members still alive. And if you're going to do this I need your word that no harm comes to Lucy or Bonnie. Those are my girls. If any of you...Klaus, your sister, any of his people...touch a hair on them...I will come back to Mystic Falls and end you all. I mean it..."
He raised his hands in defense and laughed, "I believe you, Emily. Seeing as you can't stay dead I will make sure that I do not get on your bad side. Klaus doesn't know Lucy is a Bennett and as for Bonnie..." He glanced back at the house. "With Greta gone, he will go after her."
"Let him try. He has to go through Damon first." With that said she turned on her heel and made her way back through the woods leaving Elijah by himself.
"No one was at the house...there was blood everywhere."
Damon watched as Bonnie collapsed on the queen size bed in their motel room. They just returned from the Lockwood mansion to find no one there. They could tell that the others put up a fight against Klaus and who ever he brought with him to help but no one was there; he took them all.
"I find it odd that the cellar door was broken down. Especially since it wasn't by a vampire and we know a witch didn't do it. Do you think Mason...?"
Bonnie frowned up at him from the bed. "But he was still in werewolf form and we injected him with wolfsbane to make him weak...he would have had to get something in him to make him strong again...something like..."
"Witch blood." Damon finished watching her as she quickly got up and made her way to the door, "Where do you think you're going? We checked the whole mansion. Everyone of them are gone..."
"Lucy!" Bonnie cried out as he blocked her way out the door. "Klaus must have done something to Lucy! He must've made Mason attack her or something! I have to find her...or him...something bad happened!"
Damon rolled her eyes and pushed her back so that she landed on the bed again. He could see the tiredness in her eyes but yet she was so determined to go after the others even though she just had a very big fight with Greta. "You need to rest. We all know something bad happened...something bad always fucking happens. But you are still only human, Bonnie. You're a seventeen year old girl bent on saving the world. You need rest."
"I need my friends!" She replied darkly as she glared up at him. "If I rest, they die. I can't let Klaus hurt them..."
"Fuck, Bonnie!" He yelled, pinning her down to the bed with his face inches away from hers. "You need to listen to me! You need to rest! For once put yourself first! You think I don't wanna go after that asshole? He has my family too! He has my brother! He has Caroline! Lord only knows what he's doing to them now!"
"Not helping." Bonnie replied in a harsh, shaky whisper.
"We need a plan. For once I don't wanna go in there half assed." He released her shoulders and got up off of her. "Now I'm going to order you some food and let you take a shower and gain your strength. We'll get them back, Bonnie. I promise you this." He grabbed the motel phone and began dialing room service, "And no trying to kill me and escape when I get your food this time."
Bonnie smiled, "Believe me. You're last on my killing list."
He quirked a brow, "But I'm still on it?"
She shrugged and made her way to the bathroom, slowly moving her shirt up to look at the cuts and bruises on her body. That fight with Greta was not easy. Even without her powers that witch was a little firecracker. She wondered how Klaus would react when he found out that his witch was dead; she smiled at the thought.
"What's so funny?" She jumped and turned to see Damon behind her, looking down at her bare stomach too. "Yeesh, that's gonna leave some great scars."
"Story of my life..." He grinned then turned to leave her alone to do her business but she felt herself hurry up and grab him. For some reason she didn't want to be alone right now. She looked up to Damon's face and saw the same confusion in his eyes that she felt. It was weird, she never felt this way about anyone before. "Stay." She said finally, pulling him fully back into the bathroom by grabbing him by the hem of his black shirt.
"Bonnie..." He said, almost a warning. "You're tired and out of your mind right now. I don't think you want this..." She didn't let him try to talk sense to her as she slowly peeled off her whole shirt and stood in front of him in nothing but her shorts and bra. Logic left his brain. "Fuck..." He cursed as she stepped closer and pressed herself against him.
"I need you to stay with me." She said, her lips caressing his cheek. "Just for now...I need this. I need a distraction. If you don't want me to run off now then you have to stay with me."
He sighed then grinned, "Fine. If I'm going to have to babysit and bathe my witch then I will." He pushed her back lightly and went to unbutton her shorts and pull them down. "But I have one condition..."
"Yeah?"
"If I wash your back then you gotta wash mine." He replied. Bonnie laughed then helped him take off his shirt before he pulled her close for a kiss.
