Happy monday peoples ;D Issa chapter from me.
Bonnie had been fighting herself for some time and while the pair where evenly matched. Her younger self was more nimble. Quicker to dodge or faster to attack, Bonnie's defence was solid and she couldn't lie. It was fun fighting herself, releasing anger she didn't know she still had. She could see the more grounded she became her younger self became unstable and soon she would lose it. Bonnie decided to end it.
She rooted her feet a short distance apart before looking herself dead in the eye. "I am strong enough !" she said as she concentrated all of her power at her younger self. feeling as she did when she was in the boom of the Bennett's. Powerful, resilient , limitless surrounded by endless warmth and opportunity.
Her younger self smiled as she accepted the blast Bonnie heard a soft whisper "And don't you forget it" a feeling of contentment lapped at her skin before bounding into her heart but Bonnie didn't have time to revel in the victory as she felt herself falling through what felt like a glass ceiling.
Though now her shoulder had healed she was cut all over. "Get up Bonnie !" screamed Elena. Her hair was short and she had wrinkles around her eyes but Bonnie recognised that look in her eyes. The same look when Klaus came knocking, When the hunters had Jeremy. It was like a mouse cornered. Bonnie got to her feet a little to slowly for Elena. Who pulled her by her shoulders. "Bonnie , Bonnie please I know you didn't want do it, but it's here now, and it's after us. You have to stop it" Bonnie tried to focus but her eyes where heavy. She shakily held onto Elena and chanted a small spell that would give them an impenetrable isolated space to talk. A small upgrade of a room silencer spell. No biggie. "Alright explain it to me, what're you -we running from" she panted taking a splint of glass out of her shoulder.
"I summoned a Demon to help Caroline with the hunters but it backfired when they wanted-" All of a sudden Bonnie was pulled out of Elena's world to Alaric's. Where she was violently knocked out of a second story window. Bonnie groaned looking up to see the familiar Whittmore sign. "Bonnie "Alaric yelled running down to her side. "The wind whipped around the, as the window panel flipped out. Alaric was yelling something incoherent. All she could make out was "The wendigo, it's coming" Bonnie felt a migraine coming on so she used the moves she saw her younger self do, to conjure the lighting. Sure she looked ridiculous she grinded her teeth before thrusting her entire body forward. ending out a large charge directed upwards with her arms. Alaric applauded her but she didn't have time before she was pushed into another scenario. This time it was Jeremy, then Tyler and Matt was a mermaid ?
Suddenly they where all chanting her name like a depraved cult summoning a malnourished Devil. "Bonnie" "Bonnie" "Bon Bon" "Please" "Help us"
"Enough ! I get it you're trying to tell me my life is not my own, will never be my own. That these powers may lead to greater difficulty but I have my own discernment ! I wont allow myself to be burned out. I can choose what I want to do and helping my friends may be foolish but its never wrong ! So don't try to force my hand " She said angrily her nostrils flaring. Bonnie heard her friends calling her name die down and instead of falling through a ceiling or being pushed into a demented hyper coloured version of Mystic falls. She returned to the boarding house. "I guess I aced it huh". she said rolling her tongue around her cheek. Her eyes where tired and honestly she just wanted to rest now. Could spirits get tired. She walked to the boarding house wondering what this next test would be.
In a McDonalds rest station a short way away from mystic falls
"Come on Lily, you gotta give me some more juice. Thanks for healing me but I have plans I can't be powerless" He said stuffing fries into his mouth. The rows of happy meals in front of him both nauseated and appalled Lily who sighed her frustration. "You promised me Julian" He nodded dipping some fries into his milkshake "and you'll get him Lily" He said waving the soggy fries in her direction. Bits of chocolate speckled the table. "It's just my family aren't all here to answer my questions" He smirked at her over the golden paper arches. Lily sighed. She wasn't versed in this particular psychopath. Giuseppe didn't seem to enjoy his torment. He just did it because he was a mean. A broken mean man. Kai was mean and he revelled in it. He went out of his way to reinvent it. In fact he wasn't so much as mean as cruel. Lily snapped out of her comparisons long enough to see his eyebrow arched at her.
"Where are you staying" she asked. "You could come home with me. There is plenty of room" Kai shook his head now. His hands full of sauce packets as he made a pool for his nuggets. "Did they have nuggets back in the eighteen hundreds" He asked squinting at Lily. Though he didn't wait for her answer before reaching over and grabbing hiss hand. He didn't siphon her he didn't have to. Lily was afraid. She didn't need breath and yet she held it. Kai smiled his most sincere smile and just stroked Lily's hand. "I'll think about it your invitation" He said releasing her hand and taking a bite out of one of his nugget's. She smiled curtly before letting out the breath she was holding. It was a little laboured so she choked. How cute thought Kai. "Bo is waiting for me in the car" she shuddered at Car and Kai nodded. "I'll find you later, he beamed licking ketchup from his top lip. Lily excused herself and he waved absentmindedly.
He felt the power of his spell deepening with Stefan and Elena's kiss. He just hoped Damon was at least there to witness what even he had missed. He sighed almost before nearly choking on his laughter. before looking up. Mystic falls felt like one big little dolls house to him. If only he could shut up Luke's incessant hollering in the back of his head. He placed his milkshake to his temple. "Can I have some more Ice ?! Please!"
