As soon as they get there Caroline is already in head cheerleader mode, making Bonnie and Rebekah share a look. All of which definitely doesn't go unnoticed by Caroline.
Being the person she is, Caroline barks at the other cheerleaders to keep their knees high and toes pointed as she moves to look at Bonnie who was digging in her bag.
"What was that?" Caroline asks the brunette who looks up at her in confusion.
"What?" Bonnie asks as the blonde points to Rebekah, who gave her a sharp smile. As Rebekah waved her fingers at them Bonnie rolled her eyes.
"We were rehearsing for drama class at her place, we decided to ride in together. She's not half bad" she says making Caroline's eyes widen to the point Bonnie fears they'll pop out of her head.
"Not half bad? She's a female version of Klaus with a perfect manicure" Caroline says making Bonnie roll her eyes at the blonde, before looking at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Perfect manicure?" Bonnie asks, amusement dancing in her eyes, making Caroline flip her hair over her shoulder.
"Just because she's crazy doesn't mean I can't admire the fact that she takes care of her cuticles properly" Caroline says primly as Bonnie gives her a small smirk.
"Well she actually reminds me of you a little bit" Bonnie says with a small shrug, making Caroline clutch her undead heart.
"How dare you?" The blonde asks dramatically making Bonnie laugh. She knew exactly what to say to make the blonde go nuts.
"Caroline think about it, blonde hair, blue eyes, strives for perfection, stubborn, kick ass" she says making the blonde pout at her.
"Fine there are some similarities but I'm not a psycho" she says making Bonnie raise an eyebrow at her friend.
"If you were taking instructions from you during cheer practice you wouldn't be so quick to say that" Bonnie told the girl in a sing song voice. Caroline's mouth dropped open as she stared at her best friend.
"It's a good thing Care, you got us to nationals for 3 years straight" the small witch tells her friend who shrugs at her.
"Fine at least it's for a good cause" the blonde says as her friend hip checks her lightly. Caroline looks at Bonnie her face turning serious for a moment.
"Look just be careful, I know there's that 'magic contract' that says we can't kill each other anymore but still" Caroline says making Bonnie nod.
"I know Care, trust me, my guards up" she assures her friend, though she isn't entirely sure she's telling the entire truth. "Is Elena here?" Bonnie asked trying to get Caroline off the subject of the Mikaelsons.
"Nah she claimed she had a headache, I think she just hates being near Rebekah" Caroline tells the brunette with a shrug, making her nod. Well she couldn't really blame either of them for hating each other.
"Hey Candace, get those kicks higher! Nina bigger smile" Caroline calls to the other girls who are practicing beside the field.
"Go, go be head cheerleader" Bonnie says pushing her friend who raises an eyebrow at her.
"Alright I want to see you in formation in 5 minutes Bennett" she calls before jogging to the other cheerleaders.
Bonnie sighed as she finally escaped her friends questioning. In all actuality she couldn't help but enjoy Rebekah's company. The blonde was a little bitchy sure but Bonnie was surprised to hear affection in it as well. Besides she looked out for Matt, that was more than she could say about anyone else.
"Well well well little witch" she hears and turns to see Kol looking at her. No not looking, leering at the witch.
"Well look who showed up" Bonnie says rolling her eyes at the original. Kol looked at her with a pout.
"You still angry with me then love?" He asked making Bonnie raise an eyebrow at him.
"How about you get in a car accident and we'll know if I'm sad about it" the young witch tells him. Kol rolls his eyes but steps forward holding out a white orchid to the girl.
Bonnie looked up at the flower in surprise before meeting Kol's dark brown eyes. An orchid? He was giving her an orchid? What the hell was the vampire up to? Raising an eyebrow at him Bonnie put her bag down, standing straight to look up at the man.
"An orchid?" She asks the vampire in surprise and a bit of suspicion. Sensing the suspicion Kol smirks at her.
"Yes, an Orchid, in the language of flowers it means I'm sorry, and I am" he says as she takes it. "I didn't mean any disrespect Bonnie, I tend to get a bit carried away sometimes" Kol tells her.
After following her around the school for most of the day Kol was pleasantly surprised by the witch. She ignored him for most of the day but sometimes he would catch her making sarcastic comments, cute faces or laughing at his jokes. He found he genuinely liked the witch's presence.
"You know I'm not that easy right?" She asks but takes the flower anyways. It wasn't their fault they were being used.
"Of course" he tells her seriously, knowing the witch was as stubborn as they come. He actually found it endearing.
"Well either way thank you, they're beautiful" she says as she inhaled the scent of the beautiful flower with a gentle smile.
"Anything for you little witch" he says smirking at her. Bonnie opens her mouth to say something but is cut off by the blonde calling her name.
"Stop flirting and get in formation Bennett" Caroline calls out to the witch who laughs at the blonde.
"See you later Kol" she says muttering a quick preservation spell on the flower and putting it in her bag. Throwing him a smile she runs off to join the cheer squad.
Kol turns around to see his older brother looking at him, eyebrows raised. Smirking at him he quirks an eyebrow himself, knowing it would only piss the hybrid off.
"An orchid?" Klaus asks his younger brother who simply shrugs. His normal swagger returning in the absence of the Bennett witch.
"You don't think her worthy of flowers?" He asks making Klaus sigh.
"She's worth much more than simple orchids" Klaus says seriously. Kol smirks at his brother, he knew he would have competition for the witch, he didn't realize how much.
"I think so too" Kol says before walking passed his brother, smirk never leaving his lips. Klaus could only shake his head at Kol.
Looking at the witch he sighed. She was something special, more special than even he once gave her credit for. She was witty and charming. She enticed him in a way he hadn't been in a long time.
As she turned to see Klaus looking at her she paused slightly, giving him a look of confusion. Klaus simply smirked at her as he watched her knit her eyebrows at him. She mouthed a 'what' to the hybrid but he just winked at the witch who rolled her eyes at him.
Bonnie may have looked away but she'd be lying if she said she didn't still feel the hybrids eyes on her form. He was practically burning a hole into her. Caroline raises an eyebrow at her but she could only shrug. She had no idea what was going on with them either.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Rebekah stood next to Bonnie, with Caroline on the other side of her,as they all cheered from the sidelines. Both of them screaming with excitement when Matt made a touchdown.
"I think he's trying to show off" Bonnie says making Rebekah blush. Matt turned as if he heard them, winking at the blonde from the field. Bonnie was a bit worried though, last time the other team came to town a fight broke out.
The wide receiver from the other team had a reputation for being a dick. It seemed he only got worse when he was bumped up to quarterback. She knew they were upset, the game had been stuck in a tie for the past 20 minutes. Matt scoring that touchdown just put them in the lead.
Before Matt can head back to his position the quarterback is tacked from behind. Bonnie's eyes widen as he falls forward, all three cheerleaders rushing to the quarterback, only to be held back by Stefan and Klaus.
"No, no, not right now" Klaus says holding onto both his sister and the small witch. Stefan nods at the hybrids words. They all see the referee tell Matt to walk it off, while letting the one who tackled him off with a warning.
"What the hell? Ref thats bullshit!" Bonnie yells at the man in the striped shirt. He points at Bonnie angrily.
"I make the rules if you don't like it leave pompoms" he says making Caroline growl at him angrily.
"Oh I'm gonna-" the blonde starts as she tries to get to the referee, ready to rip his face off.
"Not now Caroline" Stefan says holding the surprisingly strong blonde back. She growled again but stopped trying to kill the man.
"Let's get you ladies back to your squad" Klaus says leading them back. Rebekah glares at her brother who shrugs.
"Me and you wouldn't be able to hurt him regardless, remember the contract" he mutters to Rebekah who scowls at the floor.
"Technically they're not part of Mystic Falls" Bonnie mutters angrily as she watches Matt clutch his side.
"You don't have your own referee?" Klaus asks making Caroline shrug.
"Ref Denny was sick today, food poisoning" she says making Bonnie roll her eyes. As they get back to the sidelines they watch Matt walk over to them with a wince.
"I'm fine guys no need to start a fight" he tells them making Bonnie sigh.
"Let me see your ribs" she tells him. The blonde looks at her in confusion but at her serious face he lifts his shirt. The area was already starting to bruise making Bonnie wince.
Putting her hand on the blondes bruised ribs she closes her eyes and mutters a few words under her breath. The Latin flowing from her mouth. As she lets him go they all see the bruises starting to fade quickly.
"Oh shit, wow, thanks Bon" he says kissing the brunettes forehead lightly before running back into the field. Bonnie smiles at him at the blonde before picking up her pompoms once more.
"You two seem close" Klaus says with a raised eyebrow making Rebekah roll her eyes at the jealousy peaking through him.
"Oh shut it Nik, they're practically related" She tells him, hitting his chest as she smiles at the small witch.
"I'm still pissed" Bonnie mutters under her breath, making Klaus smirk.
"So get even" he says with a self satisfied smile. Bonnie looks at Caroline with a smirk, who in turn shakes her head.
"Crap, you have no idea what you just started" Caroline says making Klaus knit his eyebrows together. Seeing his look of confusion she rolls her eyes.
"Bonnie grew up with Tyler" Caroline stresses as Klaus just raises an eyebrow at the preppy blonde. "She's competitive, stubborn and loves getting even" She explains to them all. Stefan raises an eyebrow at Bonnie who just shrugs.
"Whatever, I'm not gonna hurt the guy, just embarrass him a little" Bonnie says in defense to herself. Caroline raises an eyebrow at her but nods.
"Stefan! Back on the field" they hear the coach yell. Stefan nods before rushing back on. Bonnie looks at Klaus with a raised eyebrow.
"You probably shouldn't be here either" the witch tells him making Caroline nod vehemently by her side.
"She's right brother, we'll be fine, no ripping out throats" Rebekah says to her brother who raises an eyebrow at her.
"Alright, I'm going, I will be keeping an eye on you though" he says with a wink to Bonnie. The witch knits her eyebrows together before turning away from him and walking back to the other cheerleaders.
"Way to lay it on thick" Caroline says before walking after Bonnie. Rebekah just smirked up at the hybrid.
"You know you all always underestimate me but I think I am getting closest to the Little Wicca" Rebekah tells him with a satisfied smirk before swaggering back to the cheerleaders. Klaus raises an eyebrow before smirking.
"We'll see" Klaus says before looking over to see Elijah. Raising an eyebrow he walked up to his brother, wondering what the hell he was doing there. Though he suspected he knew.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Bonnie cheered along with the other girls as the game continued, Matt tackling the asshole who hurt him. As the other man stood in anger, Bonnie looked around her discreetly before pointing at him.
"Cadere" she whispered and suddenly the man tripped over thin air, right into a puddle of mud. As he stood there were laughs from everyone, including from his own team.
Bonnie smiled in satisfaction as the man began yelling at his own teammates, causing them to laugh harder. As the man grabbed his water bottle to clean his face, Bonnie raised an eyebrow as a smirk came on her face.
"limax et vermis est" Bonnie whispers pointing at the bottle again. Soon enough something falls into his face. The rival quarterback screams as worms and slugs fall onto his face.
"I saw that" Rebekah says smirking at her happily. She was happy to see the little witch had a bit of a mischievous side to her. Bonnie looked at her for a moment before shrugging.
"He deserved it" Bonnie tells her making Caroline nod beside her.
"Last year he started a riot at the grill because he grabbed Bonnie's ass" Caroline tells the other blonde. Rebekah looks at Bonnie in surprise.
"Who hit him" she asks causing Caroline to smile at Bonnie proudly.
"Bonnie did of course, according to my mom she broke his nose" Caroline says smiling at the memory. She remembered being so worried about Bonnie, then the witch pulled her arm back and decked him so hard his nose started gushing out blood on the spot.
After Tyler grabbed the guy by the collar a riot broke out. Knowing that Tyler and Matt could handle themselves in a fight, Caroline sped Bonnie out of there. Bonnie fought her the whole way home, adamant that she could kick his ass.
"You've got spunk Little Wicca" Rebekah says with a smirk. Bonnie gives her a smile, before looking back to the field, happily waving her pompoms around.
As the cheerleaders danced and jumped around, doing high kicks and yelling cheers for the Timberwolves, Caroline couldn't help but look at Bonnie and Rebekah every so often. It didn't even seem like Bonnie noticed how close they were.
As Caroline got the crowd riled up, she watched Bonnie do a standing back handspring back tuck and noticed she wasn't the only one. Elijah and Klaus watched from beside the bleachers and Kol was standing where all the cheerleaders bags and jackets were.
Not only that, as Bonnie stood Rebekah gave a wink to the witch. It didn't look like they had any evil intent to Caroline but still her protective instincts won't let her stop worrying. This was going to be a long year.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
As the Timberwolves won for the first time all year everyone screamed. Caroline ran to Tyler, while Rebekah ran to Matt, leaving Bonnie to do backflips towards the team. As she stood Kol was in front of her.
"You know if cheerleaders are giving out kisses I'd love one" the youngest Mikaelson son told her cheekily.
"They're giving them out to the football players" she said with a roll of her eyes. As she crossed her arms and jutted a hip, Kol's eyes raked over her form.
"I'll have to join the team then" he says actually getting on with the idea. If he joined he'd be able to see her in those little short shorts while she practiced. How he loved the modern era.
"Well I am a player and I didn't get a kiss" Stefan says throwing an arm over Bonnie's shoulder. He was more than a bit irritated at seeing all the Mikaelsons all over Bonnie. He always did have a soft spot for the small witch. Kol tensed at their position immediately.
"I don't think the doppelgänger would like that very much" Kol says trying to keep his composure. Stefan quirked an eyebrow as Bonnie laughed.
"She wouldn't mind a simple peck on the cheek" he says snarkily making Bonnie chuckle again. He and his brother had seen Kol, Klaus and Elijah checking Bonnie out, neither liked that at all.
"Alright then smooth talker bend down I'm shorter than you" she says waving the man down. Stefan smirks down at her.
"You're shorter than everybody, you're like a little fairy" he jokes making her roll her eyes at him.
"Do you want a kiss on the cheek or not?" She asks making him let out a playful sigh as he bends down. Kol growls lightly as her lips press against the younger Salvatore's cheek in a chaste kiss.
"There you go, ladies man, you have your kiss" she says making Stefan smirk at her. Kol notices he still hasn't removed his arm from her shoulder.
"Well love now I'm just put off, you're willing to kiss a ripper and not me?" Kol asks making Bonnie roll her eyes at him.
"Oh whatever, it was on the cheek and besides me and Stefan are just friends" Bonnie says waving a pompom. Before either vampire can respond they hear Tyler yell.
"Bonfire in the woods!" He screams as he carries Caroline over his shoulder in one hand and the trophy in the other. Bonnie laughed at them before looking at Kol and Stefan.
"Well it's been real, I'm gonna go change for the bonfire" Bonnie says starting to walk away from them.
"Why change love you're perfect as you are" Kol calls after her making her laugh at him. As he turns back to the Salvatore he's already looking at him.
"What do you want with Bonnie?" Stefan asks getting straight to the point. Kol smirks at the ex ripper, happy to mess with his head a bit. He did leave his sister heartbroken after all.
"I want to do a lot with Bonnie, spread her legs, bend her over" he starts as he notices the vampires eyes going black.
"You're not gonna touch her" Stefan says making Kol chuckle at him.
"Uh uh uh" he says shaking a finger at the ripper. "You can't touch me, or did you forget?" He says before smirking at Stefan. "It's not like you'd be able to kill me anyways" Kol says before walking away, leaving a fuming Stefan Salvatore behind him.
Meanwhile Bonnie as went to grab her things, she failed to realize she was being watched. Before she could bend to grab her bag, a pale hand beat her to it. Looking up she smiled at Finn, though she was confused.
"Finn! What are you doing here?" She asks grabbing her bag, before softly thanking him for it. The eldest original smiled at her gently.
"I just wanted to congratulate you on your success" he says making Bonnie blush slightly under his gaze. She shook her head softly at him still smiling.
"That was more Matt, Tyler and Stefan" Bonnie says waving off his comment. Finn smiles at her as she looks up at him.
"Still, you did amazing" Finn says, his voice genuine. Bonnie smiled at him even as her blush grew under his praise.
"Thanks Finn" she says softly as she looked around. "Since you're here, do you plan on coming to the bonfire?" She asked. Seeing the pained expression on his face she knew her answer and tried not to feel disappointed by it.
"I fear I will be, no fun, as they say" he says making Bonnie chuckle softly, shaking her head.
"Well I think your great, but I won't pressure you" she says softly. Finn tried not to preen under her praise but she can tell he was pleased by her comment.
"I'm honored you think so" he says softly making her nod.
"Of course I do" she says putting a hand on his forearm. Bonnie smiles up at him brightly, making him wonder how someone like her could be so comfortable with him.
"Bonnie hurry up, let's go" they heard and turned to see Caroline waving at the witch impatiently. Bonnie shook her head fondly before looking up at Finn.
"I should probably get going" she says softly making Finn nod. Neither of them could help the disappointed feeling they felt with spending so little time talking.
"I hope to see you soon Bonnie" Finn says kissing her hand gently. Bonnie's blush returns full force as she nods.
"Me too" she whispers back.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
After prying Rebekah and Matt away from each other Bonnie decided to drop Rebekah off at home first. As Bonnie stopped in front of the house Rebekah turned to her.
"Come inside" Rebekah tells the witch who widens her eyes at her.
"What? No! Last time I went in there I got stuck with Klaus" she says shaking her head vehemently at her. There was no way she was going inside.
"Yes and he cooked for you, oh dear what diabolical plan could he be up to?" Rebekah asked sarcastically making Bonnie narrow her eyes at her.
"I am not going in there" Bonnie tells making Rebekah groan.
"But I have something that would look good on you" Rebekah says making Bonnie frown.
"You're taller than me" she says making Rebekah roll her eyes at the witch.
"Everyone's taller than you, I know this will fit come on Bonnie just come inside" the vampire says making Bonnie roll her eyes. Why is everybody making jokes about her height today.
"1. I am wearing heels from now on I'm not that damn short and 2. There is nothing you can say that will make me go in there" Bonnie says strongly.
Rebekah turns to the witch fully taking that as a challenge. Bonnie, realizing her mistake, sighs and looks at the blonde tiredly.
"I have heels and an outfit in there that will make you look at least 4 inches taller and if you don't come in I'd be resigned to thinking you were a coward" the blonde says raising an eyebrow at the girl.
Bonnie's mouth drops open, she's pretty sure Rebekah fucking Mikaelson just called her chicken. She knew what the blonde was doing, as she smirked at her. Unfortunately it was working.
"Let's fucking go" Bonnie says as she gets out of the car. She rolls her eyes as Rebekah smiles at her happily, satisfaction pouring out of her.
As they got to Rebekah's room Bonnie's eyes widen. This room was how Bonnie imagined a princess room to be. Caroline would have a heart attack if she stepped in here.
Rebekah throws her bag on the bed completely oblivious to Bonnie's awe. Bonnie shook herself off trying not to show the blonde the surprise on her face.
Rebekah threw herself on the bed as she kicked off her shoes, freeing herself of them. Sometimes she longed for her human days of comfortable shoes and long loose dresses. They were so much simpler.
"Alright I'm here" Bonnie says standing near the door. Raising an eyebrow at the witch Rebekah smirks.
"Relax love I won't bite, unless you want me to that is" she says with a wink. Bonnie rolls her eyes but walked further in, relaxing slightly.
"Alright fine" she says feeling silly. There was a treaty, a real treaty. One neither of them could physically break. Seeing her finally beginning to relax again Rebekah smiles.
"Come on" she says gesturing for Bonnie to follow her to the closet. As they walk in Bonnie's mouth drops open.
"Oh shit you have a mall in here" she says unable to hide her awe. Rebekah smiles proudly as she looked at it.
"Alright Little Wicca, you sit there, I'll grab you some things" Rebekah tells her pointing to an armchair. Shrugging Bonnie sits.
She wasn't sure what Rebekah had in mind for her but when it came to fashion, she'd trust the blonde vampire. Caroline always complained that she never took risks with her clothes anyways.
As Rebekah came back she walked in front of Bonnie carrying a romper with black heels. Bonnie's eyebrows raised as she grabbed them. They were pretty.
"The romper will make your fabulous legs look longer and the heels will give you some height since you have such a problem with your height" she tells Bonnie who glares at her halfheartedly.
"I don't know" Bonnie says skeptical. "It might be a little too short for me" Bonnie says making Rebekah roll her eyes.
"Bonnie, you're a gorgeous woman, let it show a bit" she says. As Bonnie makes an unsure face she sighs. "Look you are more than just a witch Bonnie, you are a woman. A beautiful woman with fire in her veins, let it show, learn to be comfortable with your sexuality" Rebekah tells the brunette who looks up at her wide eyed.
"I'm comfortable with my sexuality" she says her voice raising just slightly in a way that let Rebekah know that, that couldn't be further from the truth.
"Bonnie I've watched you, you try to hide and blend into the shadows to let Caroline and Elena take the spotlight, let yourself shine. Trust me on this" Rebekah tells her softly.
Bonnie sighs knowing the blonde was right. It was always easier for her to stay on the sidelines. That way she'd never be hurt. It seemed she got a bit too comfortable in that position.
"Alright, I'll trust you on this" she tells the blonde. Rebekah smiles at her brightly as she begins to take off her uniform.
"Afterwards I'll do your hair" Rebekah says as she leaves the closet, letting Bonnie get ready. Bonnie looks down at the clothing in her hands and sighs. Might as well start.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
As Bonnie pulled into the party area of the woods, with Rebekah, she realized it was already in full swing. It was weird, she could quickly feel herself growing closer to the female Mikaelson.
As they get out Matt walks up to them immediately. He gives Rebekah a light kiss on the forehead in greeting.
"You look beautiful" he tells Rebekah. Rebekah, to Bonnie shock, smiles at him bashfully. Yet when he sees Bonnie he stops.
"What did you do?" He asks making Rebekah raise an eyebrow. Widening her eyes Bonnie looks at him.
"What do I look bad?" She asks making Matt shake his head.
"No you don't look bad you look way too good, do you realize I'm gonna have to kick anyone's ass who even looks at you" he says. Rebekah laughs at the pair.
Matt has already explained that since he lost his sister, Bonnie was the closest thing he had to one. It made him very protective of the small girl. Rebekah has to admit, the girl definitely looked very good. Hell they both did.
"I'm just gonna take that as a complement" Bonnie says to the blonde man with a small smile.
"Well you do deserve many compliments tonight"they hear from behind them. Turning they see Kol sauntering up to them, 2 drinks in his hand.
"Oh Kol, just the brother I didn't want to see" Rebekah says annoyed with her brother. He'd been barging into Rebekah's room all day to try and talk to Bonnie. She wanted to rip her brothers arms off so he'd never touch her door again.
"Oh don't be bitter Bekah, it's a party" he says coming over and handing a red cup to Bonnie, who shrugs and takes it. "It's jungle juice love, be careful" he tells the witch as he puts his arm around her shoulders.
"I can handle a little bit of jungle juice, you've never had a Tyler Lockwood special" she says throwing the drink back. Raising his eyebrows at her he smirks, he had feeling she would take that as a challenge.
"Maybe not so much at once little witch, it is rather strong" they hear and turn to see Klaus. Bonnie rolls her eyes at the hybrid.
"What the hell are you doing here? This is a high school party" she says to him. Matt raises his eyebrows in surprise that Klaus is actually smirking at Bonnie.
"Well I came to make sure my younger siblings were behaving themselves of course" Klaus replies with a smirk, making Rebekah and Kol roll their eyes.
"Go to hell Nik, we're behaving ourselves just fine" Rebekah tells the hybrid who shrugs at them as he stands beside Bonnie.
"Then you don't mind if I stay" he says making Bonnie raise an eyebrow.
"Um actually I do" she says before shaking her head. "Wait what am I saying, you can do whatever you want because I can walk away from you" she says before doing so, walking straight out of Kol's embrace. The movement causes him to glare at his elder brother.
"You're not fooling anyone Niklaus, you're here for Bonnie" Kol says making Matt stand up straight. His protective instincts putting him on high alert.
"The hell do you want with Bonnie" the blonde man asks the hybrid, who raises an unimpressed eyebrow at the human.
"Rebekah you should learn to control your pet" he says making the blonde man go red with anger. Rebekah, seeing the beginning of a fight, grabs Matt and drags the blonde away.
"Do you think it's a good idea to go up against me Kol?" Klaus asks his little brother. The younger sibling smirks before he looks towards where Bonnie was, laughing with some cheerleaders he'd seen earlier.
"Maybe not a good idea" Kol says before looking at his brother seriously. "Though I believe Bonnie Bennett is worth going up against anyone" he says raising an eyebrow.
Klaus raises an eyebrow at his little brother. He doesn't remember Kol ever looking so serious, at the very least not for a very long time. Sighing he shakes his head.
"You're serious about her?" Klaus asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Deadly" Kol replies with a smirk. Klaus shakes his head at his brother, respecting that what he said was true.
"Alright little brother, may the best Mikaelson win" Klaus replies holding out a hand. Smirking Kol takes his hand and shakes it.
"That sentence may be more accurate than either of us might be happy with" Kol says nodding to where Elijah was beginning to walk towards Bonnie. They shared a look, neither of them happy with the situation, yet knowing Bonnie Bennett was more than worth it.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Bonnie was laughing with the other cheerleaders, happily feeling like a teenager again. Adrienne was telling the story of how Nina and Kim ended up getting sprayed by a skunk while camping.
"It was epic" Adrienne says making the girls laugh while Nina and Kim begin to blush, playfully arguing over whose fault it was.
"I'm so glad you're back Bon" Rachel tells her happily. The other girls nod in agreement, none of them had seen Bonnie much outside of Caroline and Elena.
"Me too" Bonnie tells them happily. Nina hugs and Kim share a look as Bonnie feels so someone behind her. Turning she see's Elijah. It seemed the Mikaelsons were just popping up everywhere today.
"Miss Bennett" Elijah greets her warmly. Bonnie had to stop herself from letting out a sigh. It seemed like no matter how hard she tried or wherever she went a Mikaelson was around every corner.
"Elijah" She says simply. She didn't want to be rude but all she really wanted was to drink and hang out with people she hadn't been able to in a long time.
"Hey it looks like Taylor's gonna do a keg stand" Nina says pointing over to the jocks. Candace nods before looking over at Bonnie who smiles at them.
"I'll meet you guys over there" she tells them. They nod before walking over to where Taylor was getting picked up, Kim making vulgar hand motions behind Elijah's back. Bonnie snorts quickly before looking up at the original before her.
"I hope I didn't interrupt" he says making Bonnie shrug. It's what they did, what they all did.
"Is there a reason you came to me Elijah?" She asks the man who smiles down at her. He knew she was more than a bit cautious of him and whatever Rebekah said to her when he left seemed to have effectively made her put her guard back up. Yet she was able to be friendly with Rebekah herself.
"I just wanted to see how my siblings have been treating you, making sure they're behaving" he says smiling at her lightly. The witch just nods before shrugging once more.
"They're fine, Rebekah's apparently 'curious' about me and Kol is in all of my classes but other than being weirdly attentive towards me they're fine" Bonnie tells him making him nod.
Elijah looks over to where Klaus and Kol are looming at them, wondering how it would be for all of them chasing the same girl. Their mother encouraged it if anything. Not only because of the mission the first witch has given them but because Bonnie Bennett was our greatest threat here, or anywhere really. Bonnie Bennett was valuable and they needed her on their team.
"I see" he says making her roll her eyes at the whole situation.
"Oh do you? Because maybe you can explain it to me cause I don't" she says tiredly making the second eldest Mikaelson son raise an eyebrow at her.
"I don't get why you're all so interested in me all of a sudden, it's weird" she says before downing the rest of the jungle juice, going for her second one of the night.
"There is nothing weird about it. You're a beautiful woman who is not only loyal powerful and charming but also genuine, it's hard not to be drawn to you" he says making Bonnie's mouth open slightly in surprise. "I assure you Bonnie we mean you and your friends no harm" he says making Bonnie sigh.
"The thing is I believe you, I believe all of you but..." she says beginning to trail off at the end making him smile at her gently.
"It will take time, which is something we have more than enough of now that the fighting has stopped" Elijah says softly. Bonnie looks up at him for a moment, not sure what to say. She's saved from trying to answer by a flurry of blonde hair filling her vision.
"Bonnie" Caroline says happily as she hugs the small girl. "I missed you, I missed this" she says pulling back slightly but still holding onto Bonnie's hands. Bonnie could tell that Caroline had already been drinking and was more than a bit tipsy. Motioning to Elijah standing behind Caroline, the blonde turns to look at him wide eyed.
"Oh hi" she says trying to appear more sober and subdued than she had a minute ago. It didn't help her case that she couldn't stop swaying. Elijah tried to stifle his smile as he nodded.
"I'll leave you both to your party" he says giving them a nod as he walks towards his brothers. Shaking her head Bonnie turns to Caroline, who has a goofy smile on her face.
"He likes you too" she says making Bonnie roll her eyes at the blonde. "So does Finn and Kol and Klaus too" Caroline says beginning to ramble. Bonnie's eyes widen as she looks at the blonde, wishing she'd stop.
"Was there a reason for you coming over here or did you just want to talk about my nonexistent love life" Bonnie says making Caroline smirk at her.
"It wouldn't be nonexistent if you gave either of them the time of day or anybody really, Bonnie you're hot" Caroline says pinching Bonnie's ass. Bonnie yelps before slapping the blondes hand away.
"Come on lets go get you drinking" Caroline says dragging the small witch to Tyler and the other jocks.
"Come on Bonnie, keg stand!" Tyler says grabbing the small witch who shakes her head at him.
"No way" Bonnie says trying to step back, only to have Caroline push her forward lightly. Another football player on the team, Brad, steps forward throwing an arm around her.
"Come on Bon, you were one of the best. Unless you're too chicken now" Brad says widening his eyes at the small brunette who narrows her eyes at the challenge.
"Fine let's do it" she yells moving in front of the keg, cheers sounding around her.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
It was very clear to many people around that Bonnie Bennett was very, very drunk. After the keg stand she had 2 of Tyler Lockwoods special concoction, another cup of jungle juice and 2 shots of vodka. Klaus was impressed with the small witches tolerance, he almost couldn't believe she was still standing.
She definitely was still standing, dancing in fact, on a table, to Rihanna. As she moved her hips in motion to the beat she spun Caroline around, careful not to fall. Well as careful as they could be drunk.
"You can stand under my umbrella, you can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella" Bonnie sings as she dances. Caroline smiles at Tyler as he goes to the duo, jumping on him happily. Bonnie oblivious, continues to dance on the table alone. Klaus moves to catch her as she looses her balance, tumbling into his arms.
Despite the cheers around them at the catch, Klaus can only focus on Bonnie. Her eyes were wide and glossy, while her cheeks were rosy. Everything about her was accentuated by the firelight around them.
"Hello love" he says as she looks up at him, her eyes still wide. Suddenly, as if remembering herself, she shook her head.
"Um can you let me down now" she asks him, wiggling her feet which still dangled in the air. He smirks at her holding her closer.
"But I So love to have you in this position" he tells her happily. Narrowing her eyes at him she opens her mouth to begin curses at him, now that she couldn't cause him bodily damage.
"Alright fine" he says as she makes the face. Gently, he sets her down. As she stands she begins to walk on wobbly legs. Caroline and Tyler are very interested in each other so Bonnie decides to walk.
Deciding that they were close enough to the school, Bonnie started walking to the football field. She was more than ready to lay on the grass and stare at the stars. She didn't realize Klaus decided to follow her.
After about a 5 minute walk, Bonnie saw the football field. As the ground started to even out and the twigs and rocks became concrete and grass, Bonnie took off her shoes running off towards the field. Klaus could only stare at her as she ran, laughing all the while.
He doesn't think he'd ever seen her so carefree and happy. Hell before the ball he couldn't remember seeing her smile. As she spun around on the football field he realized he wanted to see her like that more often. The witch deserved happiness and he'd be sure she got it.
Bonnie smiled as she plopped down on the grass happily. Her drink slushing around in her hand as she looked up at the stars. She couldn't remember them being so pretty, so bright. One in particular stuck out to her. She laid back, bringing her hand up to trace it.
"That is the star Sirius" she hears. Turning her head to the accented voice she sees Klaus smiling down at her.
"What do you want?" She asks scrunching her face at him in confusion. He raises an eyebrow at her before shrugging.
"I was just wondering where our beautiful witch was running off to" he says smiling down at her softly. She shrugs, sitting up to take a sip of her drink.
"Everyone was either making out or getting ready to have sex or you know, you, so I decided to look at the stars" she says offhandedly as she looked up. He nodded at her softly as she smiled at the sky.
"Do you make a habit of wondering off while you're drunk" he asks making her chuckle lightly.
"Actually I do" she says chuckling into her drink happily, she couldn't count all the times that she'd wandered off. She was always found by either Caroline, Matt or Elena. Back when they were completely inseparable.
"Oh you do? Well it's a good thing I was here to make sure you were alright" he says as she begins to stand. She narrows her eyes at him slightly, swaying side to side.
"I can take care of myself" she says as she begins to walk up the bleachers, testing out her balance. She was tripping the whole way.
"As true as that may be, you're not exactly of sound mind at this moment" he says making her stick out her tongue at him.
"'You're not exactly of sound mind at the moment" she says turning on the bleachers to mock him. The hybrid had to chuckle at her. It was quite adorable really. "Well so what? I don't have to be right now, there's nothing. No one to save, no one to fight, I can just be me" she says as she smiles up at the sky. He can only stare at her.
Before she can fully turn again she falls, faster than he was ready for. Hitting her head against the metal pole. Before she can completely fall to the floor he grabs her. She looks up at him in a daze.
"Damn it, I hit my head huh?" She asks, her glassy eyes unfocused. He nods at her softly.
"Yes you did" he tells her as she tries to get down. He lets her, but keeps a hand on her back regardless. She leaves it there, feeling better with his hand on her. A fact that would've freaked her out had she been at all sober.
"We should get you out of here" he says softly. Her face squished together as she thought for a moment.
"I can't drive right now" she says and he nods at her, happy she wouldn't have done that if he were not here.
"I will take you home" he says. She looks at him for a minute but simply shrugs.
"Alright, fine, but just so you know if I wasn't so drunk, and sure Caroline and Tyler weren't already having sex in the woods, I wouldn't be going with you" she says walking passed him. He smirks as he follows the girl, her hair waving behind her as she walked away swiftly.
It wasn't until they were in the front foyer, inside of the Mikaelson mansion, that Bonnie finally realized where she was. Glaring up at Klaus she hit him.
"You tricked me" the witch accused making him sigh.
"I did not, I told you I was taking you home and I did, I just didn't specify whose home I'd be taking you to" he tells her, a smirk on his lips as he looks at her. Irritation played out on her features as she looked up at him, her eyes finally focused on something. Though it was just barely the case.
"I want to go home" she says trying to walk passed him and out the door.
"Bonnie Bennett, you are drunk, tired and have recently sustained an injury to your head, you need to stay with us, we can help you" he says trying to keep his cool with the small, stubborn witch.
"Yea right" she says opening the door, only for him to close it on her. She looks up at his wide blue eyes, stunned for a moment.
"Please Bonnie" he says softly. She doesn't know why, maybe it was the drinks or the head injury or maybe because he looked so vulnerable in that moment, but she stopped for a moment. Before she realized it she was nodding.
He took her hand gently, leading her down the corridor to a guest room near his. It would be lovely for her. Green walls with golden accents. A large bed. She'd feel right at home.
Bonnie rubbed the spot she bumped, surprised when she looked at her fingers to see blood. She shook her head. Damn it, he might have been right about the head injury.
As they walked the halls Bonnie saw the same jewel from before. The one he'd seen her looking at. She stopped as she looked at the necklace. It seemed to glow as she walked towards it. Bonnie grabbed it, preparing herself from another vision, but it didn't come. She just felt a strong sense of belonging.
"Come Bonnie, you can admire it in the morning" Klaus says smirking at her as she put the necklace back.
"Sorry" she mutters as they leave, neither of them realizing blood had spilt on the jewel. As it began to glow brightly no one noticed.
Far away, in a different plane, a man with electric blue eyes opened his eyes. The jewel was activated, her blood spilt. Their queen was returning.
