To Love A Sociopath

trouble in paradise

Bonnie gathered Diego and Thierry in the old attic room Davina used to live in, the Mikaelson's and the other representatives of the meeting on their business. She spoke with Father Kierran, both of them starting off on the right foot. He even revealed that he owned a collection of ancient original dark artifacts that could balance the power of the witches.

"So how are we going to do this? Where's your buddy Kai, we need all hands on deck for this," Thierry asked, leaning against the wall. The other vampires were standing in the room, focus all on her.

Bonnie found herself smiling, one of her eyebrows perked up in shock. "So you need a witch to get your job done? How unfortunate."

Thierry stood up straighter, veins crackling down his eyes. These days it seemed that anything could trigger the vampires. Diego stepped in and intervened, placing a hand against the vampire's chest in warning. They both shared a silent conversation with one glare but Thierry backed down eventually. Diego cleared his throat and pulled out an old wooden rocking chair, sitting on it backward and faced Bonnie. "So what do you have in mind?"

"I thought that we could just do locator spell and track down the ones that are right around the corner but after speaking with Davina, the witches are strong enough to detect any type of spell targeting them. So that option was obviously crossed out." Bonnie paced around the room, gathering all the magical artifacts in Davina's rooms and began setting up a spell. "And then I got the idea that we should set a trap."

"The witches aren't stupid enough to fall for a trap, not at this time. I wouldn't be surprised if they know of this alliance. That's just stupid," Tomas scoffed, rolling his eyes in displeasure. It was obvious that he wasn't on board with following orders from a witch.

Bonnie ignored the tone and continued. "It's come to my attention that the witches are targeting vampires who were turned here. And now that I have new forms of my magic, I can see if I can use that to lure the witches out."

The crowd all began speaking at once, shouts of protests ensuing. Thierry calmed them down with a sharp glance but turned to Bonnie with a narrowed scowl. "So let me get this straight. You want to use one of our vampires as bait and you're not even certain that it will work?"

"It won't be an in-person bait. I just need to gather the aura of the vampire that falls under the category and combine it with mine. They will sense the magic and think that they've found their next target. Instead, it's a trap and I am only luring them towards me. And by then, you guys will be around to settle them down."

Diego pondered for a bit and Bonnie realized that those two were the new leaders, taking in after Marcel. "Okay. We try that and assume that it works. It seems like a solid plan. But you forget that the witches are much more powerful than us. They can say some French shit and we'll be across the globe."

"That is where the dark weapons that Father Kierran has given us will come into play." 

"Then why didn't he mention that before?" One of the vampires demanded.

"You guys think the humans are weak just because they're your prey. But these weapons are their only force to fight back and it is admirable Father Kierran is protecting them. You think he's going to expose them to you bloodsuckers, the people who are controlling his faction's population?" She scoffed. "Regardless, are we doing this or not?" Bonnie crossed her arms, the spell prepared to enact.

Diego nodded and nobody else in the room protested.

Once the others left, Bonnie called after Diego and asked for his blood. He seemed hesitant but it was awkwardly silent when she used a hunting knife to cut his palm. It dripped unto the map and Bonnie replica'd it against her own hand. With their blood both soiling the paper, she began to chant. "Phasmatos nexum sanguinis."
