《Black Cat » The Vampire Diaries》The Ties that Bind

Advertisement

I knew that I changed the timeline for sure when Caroline didn't end up in bed with Damon, but also when Elena didn't invite me to have dinner at her house with Stefan. Cannon Bonnie openly disliked Stefan, I just mocked and openly laughed at Stelena. Plus me and Elena weren't that close, she cared about my opinion but not as much as in cannon.

As such, during the week I just minded my own bussiness. I did my spells, I took care of my garden, I went to school, I trained my body during Aikido practice, I ignored my grams and spent most of my free time with Caroline. Just ordinary life for me.

Tanner did get killed, not that anybody cared much. I did get a vision of it, like in canon, but really it's not like I didn't know about it already.

"Bon are you ready?" Caroline asked, as she made herself welcome into my house. I was staying at my house now, since I was ignoring grams. Rudy was off to God knows where, so it was just me in this very large house.

"Why do I have to go with you to this founder's ball thingy?" I asked annoyed, as she entered my room. "Can't you go stag?"

"No, I can't." She replied, rolling her eyes. "Elena has a date, I can't go alone. It would be humiliating."

"Going with your best friend isn't humiliating enough?" I asked, as I finished brushing my hair.

"Because of my dad most of the town's old ladies already think I'm bisexual anyway." She replied, sounding amused. "So going with a girl date won't be such a scandal."

I rolled my eyes at her, but nodded anyway. I'm pretty sure that in canon she went with Damon, since I kind of ruined that I should at least keep her company.

--

This whole thing was boring, thank God my ancestors weren't white little aristocratic assholes that made these things mandatory to every member of the family. I totally pitied Caroline for being forced to attend every single event in this town, not that she minded much.

Tyler was in the backyard with junky Vic, trying to hid her from his parents. Stelena was dancing and making eyes at each other. Jenna was ignoring that douche guy that's on tv a lot, Logan Fell or something. Caroline was trying to get drunk. Damon was around, searching the Bennett Talisman while munching on some innocent girls. I could see that Stefan was all antsy, which meant that even if he wasn't munching on Care dear old Damon would still get vervained and locked in the cellar.

I knew exactly where I needed to be. So when Damon left the party with a teen on his arm, I followed Stefan. Things went like canon, except the girl wasn't Caroline. So when Stefan vervained Damon and took him away I was quick enough to grab the Talisman.

I'm pretty sure that makes it 2-0 now. I was winning this race for the tomb.

--

"Why do you force me into these things?" I groaned, as Caroline threw a bikini my way.

"The Sexy Suds Car Wash Fundraiser must be a success Bon." The blonde replied. "You're hotter than my cheerleaders, I need you!"

"I hate you." I replied, sounding defeated, as I put on the damned bikini from hell.

--

The Tiki girl was annoying to hell, I almost did set her on fire but unfortunately she was the girl Damon had been feeding on the night before. So she would probably be the one to set him free, instead of Care, as I did see her eyes glaze over before she left.

Elena had been talking to a old man, so I'm pretty sure the vampire cat was out of the bag by now.

Things were strange, but it seemed that the timeline found ways to maintain itself. This could be good, or bad, depending on the situation. Right now it was good, because it let me know what was going on. On the other hand, it might be troublesome in the future when I want to change something.

"Where the hell is Tiki going?" Caroline asked, as the cheerleader left.

"Going to get herself killed, probably." I replied dryly, knowing it was the truth.

I had come to the realization that living in a tv show had made me somewhat apathetic to most things. I had been a very practical girl in my past life, join that to living in a fictional world and you get a girl that ignores most thing that don't concern her and those she cares about. Seeing as I only cared about Caroline, and Grams somewhat, everything else I considered none of my business.

I knew it was cruel, and that I shouldn't be like this since this was now my reality, but I just could force myself to care. Most things still didn't feel real to me.

So when two days later Tiki was declared missing, I didn't even bat a eyelash.

--

A month passed by, and Vicky did end up has a blood sucker. Today was Hallow's eve, and while I would have prefered to stay at home doing witch stuff Caroline had obviously forced me into a witch costume.

"Ugh." I complained, watching kids dance dressed in the most weird costumes. "Why am I here?"

"Because it's Halloween and you little witch need to enjoy it." Caroline replied, taking a sip from her drink next to me.

"Cider for the ladies." Tyler who was dressed a sparta warrior said, bearing two cups. "It's a Lockwood special."

"Give it here." I replied, taking the cup from his hand. "I want to be drunk enough to be hungover until thanksgiving again."

"Likely." Caroline smirked at me, before taking the other cup. "I'm going to drink until someone is hot enough to make out with."

"Sound like a plan." Tyler encouraged, toasting.

"Can we talk about the fact that Elena and Mattie came in their old costumes." Caroline inquired, looking at the people in question. "As in the costumes they wore as a couple last year."

"Lame." I replied, taking a large sip from my drink. Tyler, shrugged and went to look for some girl to make out with.

"Vicky came as a vampire, that's even lamer." Caroline replied.

"You have no idea." I replied, smirking at the irony.

I hadn't put on the Bennett Talisman, like canon Bonnie did, as such Damon only smirked at me from far away instead of coming to annoy me. I lifted my cup towards him and smirked back, as If I was afraid of Damon.

Caroline ended up piss drunk, and I had to take her home. I obviously missed the whole kill Vicky and erase Jeremy's memories things, not that I cared much about it.

--

Caroline texted me while I was at grams. The old witch had noticed the Talisman and had decided to give me a history lesson. She foolishly believed the old thing would protect me from evil. I mentally scoffed at the idea, more like make me a victim of possession, which was why I didn't use it around my neck. Not to mention that the old thing was ugly.

I still wasn't sure how I was going to not get possessed by Emily. Maybe it was time for me to find the old witch house and contact Emily on my own, cus getting possessed was too Harry Potter for my tastes.

--

"Bonnie, I'm glad you could make it." Elena said, as I entered the Grill.

"Sup." I easily replied, noticing the blonde vampire next to her. Alexia Branson, in the flesh.

"This is Lexi, she's Stefan's friend." The doppelganger introduced. "Lexi this is Bonnie, she's a friend of mine."

The vampire stared at me for a bit, before giving me a smile. "Nice to meet you, shots?"

I grinned and nodded, getting drunk with a vampire that's about to die? I'm pretty sure that counts as a good action of the day.

--

Lexi got killed, as I expected, because no matter what you can always count on Damon Salvatore to be an asshole. Thanksgiving was interesting as hell, having dinner with dear old dad that I haven't seen in months and crazy old witch grams that hates his guts was amusing to no end. On the bad side, I'm pretty sure Emily was about to start giving me nightmares so I had to figure out where the old witch house was.

I didn't remember very well how it looked like from the show, but I had Emily's talisman so I did what Gloria taught me.

I grabbed a bunch of witch hazel and diviner's sage and put them in a bowl. I light the candles in the attic mentality and then I set the herbs on fire, breathing in the smoke while holding the talisman.

Soon enough I saw women, hundreds of women, being forced and bound into pyres. The I saw time pass, and I saw the cottage being built. I saw the people that lived there, afraid of the voices of the women bound to that land. I saw the house, now abandoned, and I knew exactly where it was.

--

I grabbed my backpack, that was full of huge and heavy candles, and stepped forward towards the house. The moment I stepped inside I felt the voices in my head, whispering. One was louder than most, and I knew why. I had the amulet on my neck, of course Emily was using it to make her presence stronger.

I opened the backpack, and set the various candles around the less dirty room. When that was done, I sat down with my legs crossed and breathed in making the candles lit up around the room. I took a few deep breaths, controlling my magic before chanting softly.

"Phasmatos Manex, Un Domo Hax, Fero Adiuvex." I called out, thinking of Emily. "Phasmatos Manex, Un Domo Hax, Fero Adiuvex"

"What took you so long?" A voice inquired right next to me, and I opened my eyes to see Emily, in her nineteenth century gown, smiling at me.

"I wasn't sure I should do this." I replied, looking at her. I suppose I expected her to look like a ghost, translucent and stuff, but no. She looked like she was alive, like she really was next to me,

"What a strange creature you are granddaughter." The spirit replied calmly. "It suppose it should be excepted after all, from a reincarnated soul that escaped the cycle."

My eyes widened at what she said, how did she know ? Could all of the spirits know? Shit, shit , shit. "What?"

"Calm yourself granddaughter, only I know of this." Emily replied, looking somewhat amused. "I felt your birth, and I have watched over you for too long not to notice the strain that the knowledge you have gives you."

"I'm not sure what to say." I replied, looking confused. Of all the things I had expected from this meeting this was not one of them.

"There is nothing to say, you are still of my blood and I shall help you in your endeavours." The older witch replied. "Although I have to inquire, do you wish to open the tomb?"

"If not dealt with soon, the vampires inside will eventually find a way to escape." I replied, thinking about the situation. "While I am in no rush to open it, I will eventually have to. But I'll make sure that no dangerous vampires escape alive from there."

"You have a silver tongue granddaughter." The witch smirked, noticing my wording. "But I agree, some of them are not dangerous and I believe you to know what you are doing."

"Thank you great-great-great-great-grandmother." I replied, weirded out. The only witch that actually acknowledged me before was Gloria, having one of my own blood doing it was ... pleasant.

"I shall not take possession of you, I can feel you were afraid of it." The witch continued. "But, should the talisman end in the Salvatore's hand you are to destroy it." I nodded in agreement.

"Very well, it's almost dark child." She informed me. "Return home for the night, come back when you have time, I have much to teach you."

I nodded in agreement and closed my eyes, when I opened them again I was alone and the candles had long lost their flame.

--

December arrived, and drained bodies started appearing in Mystic Falls. I didn't remember such details from season one, but I'm pretty sure it was one of Anna's turned flying monkeys that did it.

Career night was a bust, I'm pretty sure I would end up owning a bar like every other witch around. Not that my teachers were happy about my choices, and neither was my grams. She should be proud, I would probably became a crazy old drunk witch lady much like herself and my mentor, Gloria.

Mayor Lockwood, the douche that he was, almost made Tyler and Jeremy fight it out "like real men". Ugh, even not being a werewolf the guy was a goddam caveman. I suppose it was from the full moon tonight.

I hadn't seen much of Elena lately, I suppose she was busy in Stefan and Damon. I had totally forgotten to tell her I was a witch, but Damon knew for sure, so I'm sure that when he needed witch help he would come annoy me anyway.

It was then that I remember that this was the same day that Elena would be attacked, and she and Damon would end up in Georgia to talk with another witch that owner a bar, Bree. Bree would end up dead, and all her grimoire would end up burned to a crisp.

What kind of witch would I be if I left all that knowledge go to waste?

--

I followed Damon and Elena to Georgia, after sending my grams a text saying I was staying with Caroline. I had also texted Care to ask her to cover for me, which she replied with a thumbs up.

While Damon and Elena were inside Bree's Bar, probably playing pool and talking to the witch I was inside my car waiting for Damon to kill Bree. My plan was to get inside the bar before it burned, I would stop the fire, get the grimoires and then restart the fire. Nobody would know I was there in the first place.

I checked my old diary to see If I had missed anything important. With the passage of time my memories of my past life, and of the canon, had become blurred which is why I thanked the Gods I had remembered to write it all down when I was young. According to my book Bonnie was supposed to find the entrance of the tomb, and be saved by Stefan today after talking with Grams. Which meant I had to hurry the fuck up, because grams would probably do a locator spell on me.

It didn't take long for Elena to be kidnapped my Lexi's boyfriend, whose name I didn't bother to remember, and Damon to come back to the bar and rip out Bree's heart. Before leaving he broke a bunch of bottles and threw a lighter inside. Of course the whole thing would be in flames soon.

I entered through the back door, and freezed the flames with a spell. I went into the back, because witches weren't that original with their hiding spots, and grabbed the five grimoires that were left out in the open, as well as a talisman that felt quite strong to me.

With that done, I left the bar while stopping the fire freezing spell and hit the pedal. I had to be back to Mystic Falls quickly or else I was screwed. I knew I should have started training with astral projection and teleportation...

--

I was quick enough to get near Mystic Falls but there was no way I would be able to get to Caroline's house before Grams did the spell so I went with the easier option, I went to the tomb and let myself fall the underground cave.

I felt the locator spell being done to me, only because I knew it would be done to me or else I wouldn't had been able to feel it at all, and let out a sigh of relief. Soon enough Peaches came to the rescue.

Grams was pissed I knew about vampires, and questioned me all night. Of course I didn't tell her much, just that I wasn't a freaking idiot and that she should just mind her own business.

--

"Here you go." Elena said, as she took a seat in my table at the grill. Caroline told be she had given her a lesbian friendship necklace filled with vervain, but seriously, had nobody told her I was a witch? Jesus Stefan, you're not getting the best boyfriend award this year.

"I don't need a vervain necklace Lena." I replied, rolling my eyes. "I though your boy toy would have told you I was a witch already."

She shrugged a bit, but still gave me the necklace. "Oh he did, I just wanted to find a way to start this conversation without it being awkward."

"Is this the part where I say I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was a witch?" I asked, somewhat amused with the doppelganger. "Or where you say sorry about not telling me about your vamp boy toy?"

"You already knew he was a vampire." She stated, as if daring me to tell her otherwise. "You forget that I know you, after I found out about Stefan all of those vampire references made way more sense to me."

"Ok, yeah I knew." I said, not really feeling guilty about not telling her. "Care knows about witches and vamps, just so you know."

"What?" Elena inquired, with wide eyes.

"What? You thought I would leave her blindsided in this hellwhole of a town?" I asked, sarcastically. "Like you did with Jeremy?"

"But you would leave me blindsided?" She asked, sounding hurt.

"I knew you would figure it out, you are dating a vampire." I replied, rolling my eyes. "Unless you're dumber than Bella Swan it would only be a matter of time."

The doppelganger let out a sigh, before nodding in my direction looking somewhat defeated. "Fighting with you is hard, especially since I know I'm never winning against you."

"You know it." I replied, with a small grin. "So what's this I hear about you being adopted?"

"I don't know, my birth certificate state Miranda and Grayson Gilbert as my parents." She said. "It makes no sense."

"Well, you're dating a vamp, so unless your parents are aliens it couldn't be that bad." I replied, before not resisting and adding. "Unless your mother's a evil vampire and your dad is someone like, I don't know, uncle John."

"Don't even joke about it." Elena said, not amused at all, before leaving the grill. "Look I got to go to the store. Bye"

"Fine, I'll pay the bill. Bye." I replied, I did kind of owe her one after all. She left and I got up, to go and pay the bill when dark, tall and danger guy appeared out of nowhere.

"Hello Sabrina." The vampire greeted, smirking at me.

"Sup Vlad." I replied with a grin, as if I was going to let him win.

"Remember that favor you owe me?" He asked, sounding amused. "It's time you pay up."

"Let me guess, you want me to save your damsel from the dark and cold tomb under the church." I stated, smirking at him. He lost his amusement rather quickly.

"How do you know?" He asked, narrowing his eyes in my direction.

"I'm a witch, and the dead love to talk." I replied easily. "Dear Em send her love from the witch pyre."

"You know where the talisman is don't you?" He asked, this time grabbing my arm in a threatening way.

"Maybe I do, maybe I don't." I replied, rolling my eyes at him. "Don't worry, I keep my deals. I'll open the tomb, but it won't be right this second."

"I want it now." He growled in my face, my I remained unaffected.

"You know I can start fires with my mind." I replied, going canon for a sec. "You know fires kill vampires right?" Damon frowned for a bit, until a voice interrupted us.

"Is everything okay over here?" Ben, the busboy inquired. Well, I'm pretty sure it's Ben the busboy turned vamp but whatever.

"Yeah we're fine." Damon replied, not looking at the guy.

"I wasn't talking to you." Ben replied, stepping towards me. I rolled my eyes at the alpha move, and spoke up.

"I don't need a knight." Looking towards Ben, handing him the money from mine and Elena's food. "And I sure as hell don't need your presence in my face." I said, turning towards Damon.

With that I left the grill, that was too much alpha male bullshit for me to handle. Now, where did I put those grimoires I stole again?
