"Are you hurt?"

The caked blood on the dress does not belong to her. But she does not reveal this to the men, she points her stare at the hulking one, the one she assumes is the leader, "I need a phone."

The one with the beady eyes and dirty-blond mop hair, spits out his chew and says, "Cell service is shit here," he states, waving his useless cellphone in her sight, "We were headed to Jax's Grill a couple miles downward, he has a cell tower from the oil companies. You can hop in and we can take you there, you'll definitely be able to use a phone there."

She doesn't move a muscle, hiding the weapon behind the short skirt of the dress.

And the third one, the one who hopped out the bed of the truck, he snorts, "Can you hear girl?"

"I think I will just walk back to my house and see if the phone is working now," She states, hoping they would leave soon so she could run further down the road to find another pay phone.

The hulking one grimaces and inches closer to Bonnie, "Look, I came back 'cause my conscience got the best of me, but it was crazy, you kinda appeared like out of nowhere," He laughs and then asks, "Are you out here all alone?

Fear has a memory.

The pit of Bonnie's stomach is recalling eons and eons of wisdom that she is not conscious of at the moment, but she decides to heed the advice of her gut.

Pulling the gun from around her back, she unsteadily cocks the trigger, her hand shaking just like Klaus had warned her not to do when he had demonstrated.

"Get back into your truck and leave."

The beady one spits again, stepping forward, his eyes shading yellow, "You see we can't do that ma'am. Marcel would be mighty disappointed if we showed up without you."

Before Bonnie is able to pull the trigger he knocks the gun out her hand, the pistol flying across the parking lot.

The hulking one yells not to damage the goods as the beady one fists Bonnie's hair, yanking her forcefully, causing her to crash onto her knees. She claws at his grip on her hair, screaming curses, her bare legs scraping the sharp gravel as he drags her toward the driver's side of the truck.

"Ain't she supposed to be some kind of witch?"

"Get her in the truck!"

Beady eyes tries to shove her into the front cab, but she is bracing her legs against the door frame, kicking it repeatedly, struggling to free herself.

"Where's the goddamn rope?"

She sees the great wolf first. The white monster trotting from the woods over to the parking lot, its snarling mouth, alarming her attackers of its presence.

"Shit."

And then there is a gelatinous squish of flesh melding into a naked Klaus right before her eyes.

Gasps and curse words are exchanged, finger pointing between the three and then fast- talking with apologies hurled at the vampire.

"We weren't gonna touch her, we weren't gonna do anything. Marcel just wants to talk to her."

The first kill happened so suddenly that Bonnie wasn't sure what had happened exactly but saw the heart that was tossed thud against the windshield, smearing a bloody trail as it slid down to the hood.

The hulking one grunts and yells, tussling with Klaus holding a whittled wooden stake, the pointed edge aimed in the wrong direction to harm Klaus as the vampire is forcing the hulk to take his own weapon in his heart.

The melee incites Beady, as if she is the one who has killed his buddies, and he backhands her, her head whipping backward as her body goes limp, and for a moment she leaves her body.

And she sees black, the monstrous black barrier of fear, and she wants to tear it down, she wants to revel on the other side.

She doesn't want to be afraid anymore.

And she quickly reconciles she will probably never remember who she was, and if she can't remember who she used to be then it was best to invent the person she wants.

"Incendia." She whispers so softly that beady doesn't know what has caused the flames to ignite the ends of his hair, and rapidly engulf his skull and face like a human matchstick. He screams and screams dropping to his knees, rolling over and over on the gravel to put the fire out and Bonnie feels orgasmic, his screams tightening the excited knot at the core of her.

Power can be a gluttonous feast. And Bonnie has had her first taste.

A head is tossed at her feet, and Bonnie becomes lucid to whom she was running away from in the first place.

Klaus picks up the pistol and puts a bullet into the burning man to stop his wailing. "We do not need the attention."

Bonnie coils her fingers, stirring the fire to flame for the stars, and Klaus laughs, his bloody mouth stretched into a wide smile that quickly fades when he notices Bonnie hexed hands curled in his direction.

He snorts, "It won't work on me, love."

"Why?" She asks staring at his muscular white form glow in the incandescent light of the parking lot.

And he confidently closes in on her, resuming his charming bloody smile, "Because my plucky protégé'. You were restored from blood of my blood. Made flesh of my flesh. We are cut from the same cloth. I will not hold it against you this one time, but let me be clear. I am not your enemy, Bonnie. "

Her eyes locks with the pair she first gazed into upon her wake.

"And you would not want me as one." He states, biting his wrist and tilting his head downward, in the direction of her swollen and very broken ankle.

The burnt stench of human flesh fills their nostrils, the crackle of bone melting into embers and ash.

"It feels good, doesn't it?" He beams.

And she scans the carnage he committed for her and the blood that is being offered, dripping onto the gravel.

"No more secrets."

"No more secrets," He repeats, and surprising her by placing his blood smeared lips at the corner of her pouty mouth, lingering to where she wonders if he will go further, tightening the knot inside of her.

But He quickly presents his open gash and this time he doesn't have to coerce her.

She grabs the wrist and drinks her fill.

Author's Note

Whew. This took everything out of me. This was another short scene but it was hard won for me because I had to rewrite it. Hopefully, ya'll dig it. I have a lot of fun stuff planned, like the blooming friendship/romance between Klaus and Bonnie, the meet up of all the covens at the funeral and a Mikaelson engagement.
