The Chrysalis-

Almost alone.

"You're right you know, your not strong enough" Bonnie felt a shiver run up her spine as she looked to the voice for confirmation. "Not to protect your own, your family or yourself and your a disgrace. You are about to abandon witches to bring those hybrid abominations into the world can you even call yourself a witch ! You're not worth the name Bennett" Bonnie turned around to face herself. She wasn't older as she suspected from the voice in fact it was a younger Bonnie. She looked at her dark hair and terrible bangs. Smiling remembering that brief period of expression with Atticus Shane.

"Are you laughing at me !"Her younger self almost squawked raising her brow, before smirking and nodding with her crooked jaw. "You're making a big mistake underestimating me. but they all do" She said flicking her wrist and sending Bonnie crashing down onto the floor. "What gives !" She yelled back. "I wont let you pass if you don't defeat me and from where I'm standing you couldn't fight your way out of a paper back" Bonnie huffed blowing her short hair out of her face. She didn't remember having this much angst back then but then maybe. Her younger self didn't give her time to think about it as she started to wave her hands around her head wildly with a crazed smirk , her eyes twinkling a neon green.

"What're you doing?" Said Bonnie getting to her feet. Trying to think of a counter spell but her younger self just laughed. "You want the power.. but you're not even sure of yourself" and then she slowly brought her hands down still rotating like mr mime thought Bonnie before thrusting them forward and releasing a white beam with streaks of blue electric dancing around it. Bonnie managed to jump out of the way but it caught her shoulder.

"And you used to be a cheerleader, Caroline would be disappointed. wouldn't she" Snarked her younger self blowing on her finger tips. "Get up before I finish you" Bonnie shook her head. If her first test was to fight her younger self, why was she jacked up on steroids and how did she know how to channel energy to create lightening ? She bit her lip to distract herself from the very real burn on her shoulder.

"I'm not gonna let you off because of a little burn you know ! You're ruining our destiny ! you said it yourself you're not strong enough !" Her younger self took up the stance again and Bonnie ignored her wondering if this was how Damon felt. She was annoyed at herself and annoyed at her younger self. Finally she spoke. "Power isn't just in your magic you know" she said to herself looking around. Her younger self laughed. "You don't believe that, I know you don't believe that you said it before you're not strong enough !" with that the doppelganger sent out another beam of electricity straight for Bonnie. Who closed her eye's without flinching and simply opened her palms to receive the power.

"What are you doing ?"

"You're me, If I could" "she paused "siphon ? re-purpose? Channel ? anyone's magic it's my own"she said shaking out but wincing as her shoulder stung. "Okay so you've learnt a few things that doesn't mean a thing !" Her younger self took a step back.

"It means everything" she said smiling and stepping forward her younger self felt unease. Spreading through out her body as Bonnie's confidence grew. "weren't you going to finish me ?"

Elsewhere

Lily had brought Caroline for Stefan to see she was alright.

"Are they treating you alright."he asked seeing her distress. "Could you bring a change of clothes please ?"she said quietly. Blood her soaked through her sweater and matching skirt combo and that was something she couldn't stand for. "I'm fine Stefan me and the other girls where having vervain cocktails earlier"she said with a dry tone and Stefan looked on apologetically past her to Lily who just shrugged. "Stefan, you have to kiss Elena, Atleast Damon will have Elena and we'll have another head to help us think of a way to bring Bonnie back" she said looking him into the eyes. "What are you talking about Caroline" "Just do it ! if it doesn't work don't say anything" "Okay time's up"Said Mary louise taking Caroline by her underarm. "Is that really necessary she said back "Yes if you don't want another Vervain cocktail" Said Nora backing up her girlfriend.

Caroline looked back at Stefan and sighed. "Just hurry Stefan" Stefan nodded looking back to Lily. "Where can I find his body" he asked. "You know more about the witches of today than I do Stefan.. I would ask you to ask the Gemini but" she looked over her shoulder and raised her eyebrow's. Stefan thought of a smile thinking how the dismissive action had Damon written all over it. "Right. I find the witches, who somehow don't end up killing me and Deliver his body to you Got it"He said nodding before running a hand through his head. "Anything else"

"Do it quickly Stefan and Valerie will go with you" said Lily gesturing to outside the front door. Where a very sour faced Valerie was now stood by the front door. The last to arrive and hadn't even received her own invitation. Her eyes widened at Stefan before looking away not fast enough to mask it from Lily who decided to let it slide for now.
