Always and Forever ~2

Moving On or Failing to Live

"Despite what she did to Rebekah?"

"She revealed the truth of our sister's treachery."

"And as a consequence, Rebekah is gone forever and you killed the love of your life." I react so fast I didn't even know what I was doing. I throw my brother across the room hearing him crash into everything in his way.

"That is the last time you mention her name or I will bite you again but this time I will make you suffer a fate worse than death."
"Aren't you already suffering enough Niklaus? Why push more people who love and care about you away?"

"Because I'm am the monster everyone feared me to be."

"This ridiculous behavior has caused you to neglect what this city needs."

"Do not speak of what you do not know."

"I know this. You have not thought once what this city needs as it is falling to shreds before our eyes."

"I will not fail New Orleans as I have Sofia. But mark my words brother let me move on from the pain or I will cause you more than just pain. I will promise you death."

Sofia's POV

Sheila gave me no explanation about this so-called prison world she was sending me and Bonnie into. I had nothing to go off of other than the only person I could trust was Bonnie. None of this was comforting especially since she didn't tell me how to escape. All she said I was supposed to help Bonnie and be there for Bonnie, but what about me. Who will be there for me? I find myself walking around in this familiar place but something feels off. I stop dead in my tracks as I see the Welcome to Mystic Falls signs. How is this even possible? I died in New Orleans and somehow made it back to Mystic Falls with no memory.

I walk through the town I grew up in and never felt more alone. I found my old street and my house which weirdly enough is no longer burnt to a crisp. "Well, that's odd." I cautiously walk up to it since the last I knew of it Elena burned our family home down after turning off her humanity and not being able to cope with the death of our brother and basically our whole family. But here it is standing before me like it never left. I knock on the door but no one answers but come to think of it this whole time I've been walking down my old street I haven't seen one person. The front door opens with ease and I step in feeling a sense of ease. I look down and see toys Elena and I fought over as kids and it hits me. This version of Mystic Falls is not the one I left before I died. I pass by the kitchen and notice the calendar. May 1994 is the current month on the calendar and I barely comprehend this. Why would Sheila send me to a Prison World in 1994? And where the hell is Bonnie?

Something dawns on me and I quickly grab a map from my parent's office and gather some candles and a bowl of water. My mom was good friends with Sheila's daughter Abby and I find a photo of them in her room and place it on the map. I begin chanting hoping something would work. I need to know why Sheila was so hell-bent on sending me here and why I'm once again being separated from those I love. I open them when the flames get brighter and I look down and I finally have hope. There on the map is the burned ashes from the photo with the location of Bonnie. The sooner I find her the quicker we get out of here.

I wish I had thought of her being at the boarding house earlier. I take my parents car and drive over feeling some peace knowing I will soon be reunited and be able to explain things to Klaus and hopefully see our daughter. I drive up the boarding house and call out for Bonnie but no one answers. I smell exhaust fumes and head to the location of the smell. I'm horrified as I see the gas coming from the garage. I quickly cast a spell opening it and my heart races as I see a gasping Bonnie on the ground. I quickly run to her aid and pull her out of the garage. I hold her in my lap as she continues to cough. "I got you, Bon. I'm here." I try to soothe her.
