Well The Vampire Diaries has turned into something that I can't even describe, so its somewhat dulled my fanfic writing heart…but I'm back! First, I want to thank everyone for their support regarding Turning Tables (and all of my other fics too!). It was a fic that started out as a small idea and turned into something bigger than I could have ever imagined. So when I ended it the way I did, I knew that I would have some people mad at me ;-p, but I hope that this ending makes up for that cliffhanger. So if you are interested to know what becomes of Bonnie, Damon and Klaus after Turning Tables, read on.
Prologue-The End of Turning Tables
"Bonnie…open those beautiful eyes".
Bonnie opened her eyes to her dark bedroom. Damon's side of the bed was vacant and she peered into the darkness, "Who's there?" she whispered.
He chuckled as he stepped from the shadows, "You haven't forgotten me already, have you?"
Bonnie blinked as she felt fear take over her body, "You're not here…this is just a nightmare", she closed her eyes.
She felt a weight come over her and when she opened her eyes again, she was staring into Klaus' blue eyes, "I told you I would see you again", he said lowering her down to the bed as she shut her eyes and felt his cold lips kiss her neck.
"No!" Bonnie screamed as she clawed at Klaus and then felt someone shaking her.
"Bonnie wake up..." Damon's voice broke through her thoughts.
She opened her eyes and looked around the room, "He's here…he's awake", Bonnie jumped out of the bed.
"Bonnie…what…who…?" Damon asked praying that she had not had a vision.
She looked around the room feverishly as Damon grabbed her arms forcing her eyes to meet his, "Who's here?"
She swallowed as the tears sprang to her eyes and she felt a coldness that she had not felt in years come over her body, "Klaus", she whispered.
Damon blinked as he flashed to the crumbled lilac rose in the bathroom wastebasket, "Bonnie…you had a nightmare", he recovered calmly.
Bonnie looked around the room. There was no one else in the room and the room was deathly quiet.
"Bonnie, are you listening to me? Klaus is not here", Damon brought her face back to his by gently moving her chin with his finger, "you were having a nightmare and I have to say, I am a little offended that you are having nightmares when you are lying next to me", he smirked.
Bonnie looked up at him, "I guess you're right, but it seemed so real".
"Nightmares often do", Damon wrapped his arms around her, "there is no Klaus, you don't have to be afraid anymore. You are here with me, Callie and those other three people…"
"You mean your Stefan, Elena and Angel?" Bonnie raised an eyebrow.
"Yes exactly, look…the past is in the past and you don't need to worry about Klaus or anything else that happened all of those years ago".
Bonnie nodded slowly, "I know, I know. It just sneaks up on me sometimes".
"Then don't let it, come on…let's go back to bed".
Bonnie leaned up and kissed Damon quickly in the lips, "You know after all these years, you can still calm me down".
"That's my job", Damon replied following Bonnie over to the bed and into the bed.
She lay down and he followed wrapping his arm around her waist. "I know Klaus is gone, I know he is…", she said with finality as Damon rested his chin on her shoulder, "but sometimes, my mind just…it wonders what would happen if he ever came back".
"Well you will never know", Damon pulled her closer and kissed her on the cheek.
As Damon listened to Bonnie's breathing he stared into the darkness of the room. He knew that Klaus was back and somehow, that nightmare that Bonnie had wasn't random; it had to be her witch powers telling her that trouble was coming. When she jumped out of bed and he looked into her eyes, he saw something—something that he had not witnessed in years and he would stop at nothing to never see that look from her again.
Bonnie felt Damon's body relax next to her as he held onto her. The fact that he didn't have the need to take breaths didn't stop her from knowing when he was asleep after all these years.
He tried to convince her that her nightmare was just that, but she knew better. She knew that the touch and voice of Klaus' was too real in her nightmare to be just that. If Klaus had somehow been undaggered and dug up and was coming for her…she would be ready. She had soo much more to fight for now and he knew that. If she had to sacrifice herself for her daughter and Damon to live happily without Klaus haunting them, she would do it. Bonnie closed her eyes and placed her hand over Damon's while the trees danced outside the window…and below those trees stood a figure smiling, "I welcome the challenge Bonnie", Klaus whispered into the wind.
This is the end For this is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again
I've drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue I owe them
Swept away, I'm stolen
