Bonnie's Theft

Chapter 11

The door slammed firmly closed.

"You're just letting them go." Jeremy yelled preferring instead that she yell and scream and throw a few stakes first before just letting them walk off into the sunset. Or at least give him permission to do it. He helped his sister from off the ground and looked at the wound forming over her eye, but it was already healing.

"I'm fine, Jer," Elena replied swatting his hand away before sitting on the couch previously occupied by Damon.

"I hate to admit it, but I agree with Jeremy -"

"Oh, you hate to admit it. Say how you really feel Alaric." Jeremy said interrupting the mans speal in no mood for his judgements.

Alaric continued on. "We cant just let them go. There has to be some sort of consequence for their actions. They killed children." Alaric said looking around the group that now appeared brow beaten.

"What would you demand from the father of my child?" She asked turning towards Alaric. She pushed away from Caroline and stood on her own furious at them all. "A pound of flesh?" She asked leveling a hard gaze towards Stefan. "Death as fitting revenge." She said staring directly at Jeremy. "Sorry too disappoint you all, but he's given that ten fold."

"Why don't you just tell us what happened?" Elena said soothingly.

"Glad too," Bonnie smirked rubbing her belly as she paced the floor in the small space in front of the fireplace. She illicited a small laugh before she began again. "You dropped him." She looked up at Stefan with renewed tears in her eyes. "Time moves extremely fast there."

"You didn't lose him for just a few minutes." Veronica said hovering in a corner in the shadows thinking she might already know what happened.

"I lost track of the days, he was gone so long, and then the months. Hoping he would just come back to me. Until I had had it and I went to the only person I knew who might help me. Mason, and I found out that he is so much more than he appears to be. He tells me that Damon is in Kalosi the supernatural equivalent to hell. And there was no way for me to get him out of it. Unless I was down there with him and a fat good that would do the both of us."

"Oh my God, Bonnie don't tell me you went down there with him?" Elena exclaimed looking at her friend with new eyes.

"I fell from grace and landed in Kalosi."

"What about the baby?" Alaric asked confused.

Bonnie looked down at her stomach afraid to admit her next statements. "I didn't want to be in Kahlan without him. I didn't want to be alone. So I jumped even knowing that I might lose my child."

"Who are you? The Bonnie I knew would never even consider something like that. Least of all for Damon." Jeremy said his gaze shifting from Caroline back to Elena for backup.

"He's right, Bonnie. Did something more happen to while you were over there. Maybe something that Mason did? Or Damon?" Caroline interceded.

"No, of course not. At the time I didn't even know if the baby was human. Least of all Damon's. We were theorizing that it could be some demon parasite for all we know. So I hadn't formed the bond with it that I do now. It was just this thing occupying my body. Obviously if I had to make that same decision again right now. I wouldn't." Bonnie said her frustration reaching their boiling point again as she looked up towards the ceiling for help.

Everyone seemed to visibly release a sigh of relief.

"What happened in Kalosi?" Veronica asked bringing everyone's attention back to what was important. Just in case the answer to her problem was somewhere in Bonnie's time away.
