Watching their Life- N. Mikealson

Chapter 9

The Vampire Diaries
Season 3: Episode 10
The New Deal

The first thing to be seen is Bonnie Bennet walking through a clearing in the woods towards an old, abandoned house.

The Mystic Falls inhabitants all recognized this to be the old witch house where Bonnie gained the power of a hundred witches.

Åse saw the recognition in the groups eyes and narrowed her own in suspicion. She hated not understanding things. So, she called out to Stefan and asked, "What is this place, Stefan?" Not hesitating in the slightest, Stefan turned around and said, "It's an abandoned house that was built over where the murder of a hundred witches happened."

The female hybrid Original nodded her thanks towards the younger vampire. She said nothing, but her mind had instantly started thinking of possible reasons that the young witch would be going to this place.

Bonnie slowly entered the house and closed the front door. As she walked through, whispering voices started bombarding her ears. They seemed to be leading her somewhere as she opened a door and headed down a set of stairs.

Now in what looked like the basement of the house, the young Bennet witch was met with three coffins sitting in a row and a fourth coffin sitting on a raised platform behind them.

Åse and Klaus immediately tensed at the sight of the coffins not in their possession. They shared a glance that promised eternal pain and torment to whoever stole their family and that bitch.

Bonnie's gaze zeroed in on the coffin that sat away from the others. The whispering around her intensified as she kept walking closer. Opening the coffin, the young woman was met with a presumably asleep Klaus Mikaelson.

Åse's eyes widened at the sight on screen. Her left hand quickly shot out to grab hold of Klaus so that she was reassured of his presence. Klaus himself was extremely confused. He gripped his wife's hand just as tight to restrain any anger that was fighting to emerge.

The young witch's eyes looked down to Klaus's clasped hands. Wrapped around his fingers was the same necklace that Elena had been given by Stefan, the same necklace that Rebekah claimed was hers. She went to slowly reach out for the necklace but was stopped by a creaking floorboard.

Whipping her head around, Bonnie suddenly shot up in her bed.

Everything she had seen was a dream.

The next scene to come on showed Damon playing darts while Elena stood behind him on the phone.

Elena can be heard saying, "Jeremy, the minute you get this, call me." before hanging up. Damon shoots a perfect dart and turns around as Elena says, "Unbelievable." The vampire looks the doppelgänger up and down before saying, "You're feisty when you're mad." "It's not that I'm mad, I'm just, I'm worried." "Why? He lost his job at the Grill? I think he'll survive, Elena." Actually managing a concerned look for her brother, Elena replies, "He's spiraling. Ever since Bonnie broke up with him he's moody, and he's not really talking to anyone."

Caroline had a deadpan expression as she said, "That's literally the normal thing to do when someone breaks up with you." Almost everyone else in the room either nodded their heads or voiced their agreement. Even Jeremy himself.

Not really seeing her point, Damon just says, "Typical teenager." "Who's seeing ghosts and who's lost everyone that he cares about." Damon turns around to throw another dart saying, "Not everyone. He still has you."

There are a few seconds of silence as Damon walks up to the dartboard to collect the darts he's thrown. As he turns around Elena gently asks, "You okay?" Shrugging off her concern the vampire replies, "What makes you think I'm not okay?" "Well, you're day drunk. It's not exactly your most attractive look."
