Epilogue
Did That Really Just Happen?
:::::
Bonnie’s PoV
:::::
I startle myself awake at the end of the scariest dream I’ve ever had with Damon’s whispered, ‘Elena, I love you,’ ringing in my ears. Oh Goddess, Elena really plans to kill Kol, and I’m not just some normal teen having a bad dream. I’m a Witch, and I’m not willing to bet the lives of everyone I care about that that was nothing more than a bad dream.
To my right Dad asks Mom, “You’re drugging her?”
The frown in her voice is obvious as she says, “Just enough to keep her down until I can get some Witches here to clean her mind from that poison that professor's been teaching her.”
Yeah and if that happens my friends and I are all doomed, so I sit up and tell her, “That’s not happening.”
She turns to face me and at my bared teeth and heavy breathing she says, “Bonnie, please.”
I hold out my hand and use my Magick on my mother causing her to gasp in pain before the mortar breaks. I hate to do this but I have to get to my friends before it’s too late, so I break my mother’s bones. I ignore her screams as she falls to the floor. Dad puts his arms around her as I tell them both, “Sorry, but lives are counting on me. We can clean my mind later tonight, so call your Witch friends, and I’ll be back after I stop my friends from killing everyone that I’ve ever cared about.”
Then I turn and leave my shocked parents behind as I slam the door in haste not anger and run to my car. I speed all the way to the Gilbert house. Pulling up to the curb the same time Klaus arrives in front of the house I don’t hesitate as I jump out of the car and rush for the door freezing everyone in the house and outside of it too as Klaus speeds up to the house ahead of me. When I reach the door just after Klaus, Elena is frozen just before she would have pulled Kol’s arm causing the strap holding Jer’s arm to the counter to be cut, which would allow him to free himself.
I stand there gasping for air for a minute trying to figure out what to do. If I try to reason with everyone there’s no guaranteeing Kol won’t come back and try to cut off Jer’s arm again, and there’s also no guarantee that my friends will stop trying to kill him. We’ve all become obsessed with the cure and all it’ll bring is pain and death upon us all. I walk into the house and walk up to Kol and Elena.
Brushing my hand along Elena’s cheek I tell her, “You and Jeremy are probably going to hate me for the rest of my life, but I’d rather you hate me than for my premonition to come true because then all of us except Klaus will be dead and even he wouldn’t know peace as Kol would possess his body and cause all sorts of trouble. So I need you and Jer to trust me.
Turning to Kol I ask him, “You swear you’ll heal him after you chop off his arm?”
I unfreeze his head and he turns to look at me a minute then he says, “Both arms actually, but yes I give my word I will heal him, the last thing I need is for him to bleed to death and saddle me with the Bloody Hunter’s Curse.”
Taking a deep breath and exhaling I then take another and slowly exhale again before nodding my head and telling Jer, “I’m sorry Jer, any other way and everyone, including Caroline, Tyler and Matt but not Kol who would be inside Klaus will be dead and only Elena’s death would be anything even close to peaceful and after suffering from the Hunter’s curse for 144 years that sort of nullifies the peacefulness of her death.”
His eyes widen but then soften as he comes to believe me so I nod and tell him, “I’ll do everything I can to help afterward but it needs to happen.”
Unfreezing his head, I half frown half smile slightly as he nods and says, “Do it, if it’ll save everyone else then do it.”
Leaning down and kissing his forehead before stepping back I unfreeze Kol as I tell him, “Make it as painless as possible.”
He looks at me for a minute then he leans over Jer and asks, “Mate I’m not sure if it’ll work or not since you’re a Hunter but are you willing for me to try compelling you not to feel any pain?”
Jer nods and says, “Try, if it doesn’t work at least you will have tried.”
Kol nods and looks into Jer’s eyes a minute before he says, “You will not feel any pain or discomfort until after you have finished healing.”
I let out a sigh of relief as Jer repeats, “I will not feel any pain or discomfort until after I finish healing.”
Kol nods and then takes a step back and aims before in one fell swoop he chops off Jer’s right arm. Jer only gasps but doesn’t appear to be in any pain. Kol quickly moves to the left arm and has that chopped off just as quickly and painlessly.
He pockets the cleaver as I look at him funny so he says, “Call me crazy but I don’t much trust any of you not to use it on me after the fact.”
I just nod so he bites his wrist and brings it to Jer’s mouth. He tells him, “Mate, I think I’m going to need to feed you a couple of times so drink until my wound heals and then I’ll bite again until you look as good as you can.”
Jer nods as he drinks Kol’s blood. I feel my control over everyone’s movements starting to slip so since he’s trapped outside I let go of Klaus and he stumbles into the invisible barrier before saying, “Witch, what game are you playing?”
As I let go of my control of Jer’s body I turn just enough to see Klaus out of the corner of my eye but still have my eyes on Kol who is still a very real threat right now. I frown then tell him, “It’s just what I said it is… Kol would die but somehow get trapped in the hallway Mirror. Then he would possess you, kill Caroline, and then possess Stefan. He’ll kill people while inside Stefan and then compel Elena to kill Jeremy killing him and Cursing her. Tyler would get compelled to kill Matt and Damon would be compelled to kill Tyler and Stefan leaving only Damon and Elena to suffer with their guilt. After 144 years of living with the Hunter’s Curse, which is made possible only because Kol compels Elena not to kill herself until after the Curse is lifted, it gets lifted and then Elena keeps trying to kill herself so Damon puts her out of her misery in as painless a way as possible by staking her in her sleep then he meets the sun and Kol inside you and Elijah and Rebekah by his side are the only ones left alive at the end of it all. This will hopefully keep all of us alive and in our rightful bodies.”
Klaus seems to believe me as he nods once and says, “Fair enough, Witch. Don’t expect me to thank you for saving me from being possessed.”
I laugh and tell him, “Of course, I’d never expect you to thank anyone for ever doing anything nice to help you, besides you’re not the reason I’m doing it. If you saw the pain on Damon’s face as he drove the stake into Elena’s chest, well you’d probably laugh in glee but it was enough to make me respect him and know that he loves my best friend more than he’s ever loved anyone else, and that he would be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to set her free from her pain and suffering.”
While I’ve been talking with Klaus, Kol has bitten his wrist twice more and fed Jer until the wounds are healed over and not even pink like a usual new scar.
As Kol pulls away one final time he tells me, “I’ll be expecting you to ensure he doesn’t die with my blood inside him because if he turns into a Vampire he won’t be a Hunter anymore and I will kill him.”
I just nod and watch as Kol stands straight and looks at Jer before saying, “No hard feelings, Mate. I’ll forget you conspired to kill me and you forget that I chopped off your arms, deal?”
Surprisingly Jer laughs and says, “Yeah deal, though it’s a little late what would you have done if I said no deal?”
Kol smirks and says, “I’d have waited to catch your sister alone one day and then compelled her to kill you for me, but if you give your word you and yours won’t seek retribution then I will give the same and we can all peacefully coexist.”
Jer sighs and says, “You have a deal on my end, but it’s going to take a little work on mine and Bonnie’s part to get Elena on board, so if you could avoid her for a while that would probably keep us from having to go back on our words.”
Kol nods once and then says, “I’ll meet Bonnie at the Boarding House tomorrow morning at 8 am to undo the compulsion on the older Salvatore since I gave my word I’ll peacefully coexist and allowing him to kill you due to my compulsion would go against the promises we just made each other. However, I agree that Elena and I should be kept apart for the time being so, Bonnie, skip school for a few hours, and I’ll keep my word.”
I nod and tell him, “I’ll be there.”
He nods back and then turns and walks across the room, “Well it’s been fun Mate. See you around.” He walks out the door and right past a stunned Klaus who turns to look at me after watching his brother walk down the path and asks me, “Did that really just happen? Did you really just negotiate a peaceful solution with my family’s ‘Happy Homicidal Maniac’?”
I laugh and nod before telling him, “Yeah it happened, now if you could not be here I have to help Jer talk some sense into Elena, and it will go easier if there are no Originals present when we try to do that.”
Klaus grins and says, “Sure, tell Caroline I said hello.”
I frown but refrain from commenting as he walks away. I turn and help Jer sit up before we both look at Elena who even frozen is obviously very pissed off. Somehow her nostrils are flaring despite being frozen and if looks could kill I’d be dead right now. I pat her on the shoulder and tell her, “I was serious Elena, everyone you love and care about would have died if Jer kills Kol. It would take 144 years but you and Damon would both follow us all into death but not until after you’ve both suffered worse than anyone ever should have to. I mean Damon pulled his own brother’s heart out of his chest and then 144 years later staked the woman he loved so she wouldn’t feel the pain of burning up in the sunlight. If you care about no one else remember Jer would die as he stared into your eyes as you strangled him and Damon would do the most selfless thing I’ve ever witnessed and kill you to save you from unnecessarily feeling pain as you killed yourself. No matter how much I may have hated Damon in the past he doesn’t deserve to suffer like that and neither does Jer.”
Her nostrils aren’t flaring anymore so I unfreeze her head and wait to see what she’ll say. I don’t have to wait long before she says, “How do you know it wasn’t just a bad dream?”
I sigh and tell her, “Maybe because I dreamed the whole scene I walked into including you about to pull Kol’s arm to the side. Everything leading up to my freezing everyone was exactly as it was in my ‘dream’ so I’m certain it wasn’t a dream at all.”
Jer turns towards her awkwardly and says, “It was my choice Elena, don’t be angry with her, she just gave us all the opportunity to make informed decisions.” He turns to look at me and says, “Thanks for that, Bon. Now can someone help me off this counter so I don’t fall flat on my face?”
Despite the seriousness of the situation I laugh and help him to stand up. He turns to look at his sister before he says, “I need your word as my sister, ‘Lena, that you won’t go after Kol or Bonnie. I gave my word and I’ll find a way to kill you myself if you make me break my word.”
Her eyes widen at that but she nods and then says, “I give my word, I won’t go after Kol or Bonnie.”
Jer throws in, “Or any other Original either. The Mikaelson’s are now officially off limits.”
She sighs but nods and says, “Okay, I give my word that the Mikaelson’s are officially off limits.”
He turns to look at me and says, “You can let her go Bon.”
I nod and release her and watch as she lunges at her brother and tries her best to squish him in a hug. He laughs and says, “Uh, a little too tight ‘Lena.”
She chuckles and loosens her hold as I turn and walk out the door. Neither of them try to stop me, but I’m surprised when I get outside and find Kol leaning against my car.
He smiles and says, “It takes a lot to impress me, Darling, but you may have actually managed the feat.” At my frown he says, “Don’t worry I know you didn’t save me to save me, but I don’t often find myself owing my life to other people so just know I won’t forget and if you have need of a favor just call, but only once so make it count.”
He hands me a slip of paper and then smirks before saying, “I have a great and deep appreciation and respect for Witches. I’ve called many my friends and even loved a few, and well I don’t know if you know this but I was a Witch before I was turned. My siblings were as well. Even though I lost my Magick when I turned I spent the next thousand or so years learning everything I could about Magick, so if you want help getting your natural powers back and clearing your aura of that black shit the professor has filled your head with and maybe even learn some new Non-Dark Spells I won’t count that as the favor.”
He smiles a warm smile that I’ve never seen on his face before and then says, “If you’re genuinely nice to me I might even give you access to my extensive Grimoire Collection.”
Is he serious, he wants to help me? My eyes are wide but I say nothing so he adds, “Yes, Darling, I’m serious, and no it’s not some attempt at tricking you. I gave my word to peacefully coexist and one thing you should know about my family by now is that if we give our word we usually keep it and the only exception is when to break our word will save a member of our family. So if you and your merry band keep to our agreement my family will be safe, and I’ll have absolutely no reason to break my word. I also won’t allow anyone else in my family to break my word so we officially have a truce.”
He shrugs and tells me, “You wouldn’t be the first Witch I helped either because I don’t do well with just sitting around. I need to keep active and helping a young Witch learn her craft properly has always sufficiently filled that need for activity. Think about it, Darling, and call me if you want my help.”
He pauses again then says, “Oh and I was serious about meeting you at the Boarding House tomorrow to lift the compulsion. 8 am sharp, but a word of advice when it comes to dealing with me, I get bored easily and then get into all sorts of trouble so make me wait at your own peril.”
I nod so he grins and says, “Well, until then, Darling” and he walks off towards his house.
I don’t know how long I stand out there just staring at the spot Kol had been but eventually I move and take out my phone putting his contact info into it before getting in my car and heading to the jail. If I thought it would work I’d already call in that favor and have Kol compel Shane to stop trying to raise Silas, but I know he picked up a few tricks in Tibet, so compulsion won’t work on him. Therefore, I resign myself to having to kill him myself. It’s unfortunately the only way to keep the balance even and everyone else alive.
When I arrive at the jail I don’t get out of the car. I psychically search the building for Shane’s Soul Signature, for lack of a better phrase, and then latch onto it and squeeze until I feel his life slip away. Then after pausing and having a moment of silence in his memory I head home to mend things with my parents.
Goddess, what a day! Thank goodness it’s finally over and everyone I care about is still alive, or undead as the case may be. Let’s hope Kol and his family keeps his word and we all continue to stay that way.

The End
:::::
Well there you have it, what did you think? I'm working on writing the sequel that will be Kol/Bonnie centric but probably also have some Klaus/Caroline and Rebekah/Jeremy thrown in for good measure with a sprinkling of Damon/Elena... if you’re interested in reading it keep your eyes open for it in the near future.
