I whipped my body back when I heard clapping coming from behind me and when I tell you I was not ready.

"Wow Bonnie that was really touching... but you still have what's mine and I'm sorry but I'm going to need it back" She said smirking at me with a devilish look in her eyes.

"Wow Elena, I thought that you'd be atleast a tiny bit happier to see me, considering the fact that we never thought we'd see eachother again" I let out as nonchalantly as my vocal chords would allow.

"Save it Bonnie. I'm only here for one thing" she said, directing her eyes towards Damon who was standing behind me.

I felt uncomfortable under the scrutinizing stares I was getting as Elena and I walked closer to eachother.

I stood infront of her and took in her appearance as she did mine. After a few years of sleeping she sure did look rough. She looked deprived of life, that spark of innocence that once clouded her aura was finally gone. After a few moments of silence I let out the first words of close range conversation

"So I see you're not a vampire anymore, your age is really wacking on" I heard a light choke coming from Damon as he tried to conceal his laughter.

"Ooh good one. I see you're not a witch anymore, thats gonna make this easier. I mean not that you were ever any good at it anyway" she rebutted, hitting me in my feels.

The room fell suddenly silence when they figured she hit a weak spot.

"What's the matter Bennett? Is someone a little sad that they've let their bloodline down? Oh if only Sheila was here to see the wreck that her offspring has made of herself" I clenched my fist in anger as each word left her non-existent lips. I felt each drop of blood flow through my veins, if there was ever a time I needed my magic back it would be now.

She inched closer and closer to me until our chests were almost touching. The longer I heard her breathing only deepened the resentment I felt burning up inside, rising through the pits of my stomach.

"You're powerless Bonnie, so thank you" She said quietly moving a loose strand of my hair to the back.

"Thank you for what?" I replied pushing her away.

She stared at me and lowly chuckled before averting her attention behind me. "Well you being so useless has put what I wanted back in the palm of my hands" she stated as she moved past me and over to Damon.

"Caroline, Stefan, your job is done" after Elena made that remark i heard their footsteps leave but I still refused to turn around. Something ticked off in my brain and I felt a warm jolt of electricity course through every fibre in my body. I closed my eyes when a light pain started to kick in.

"Turn around Bon-Bon" I heard her whiny voice peep out.

I turned around and my eyes were met Damon's pleading ones. He tried to move but couldn't. Seeing him helpless at the hands of them iced the cake.

My feet lifted from the ground and my eyes glowed a bright yellow, emitting light from my being. I felt the power being restored from every Bennett Witch before me who lost their fight in a conquest to live their best lives.

I opened my eyes as my feet touched the ground. I met Elena's worried eyes and put on a wicked grin, she doubled over in pain and I was enjoying every second of seeing her like this. "Oh how I missed doing this. Now tell me, what are we going to do Elena?" I asked batting my eyes

"Bonnie-- im- so-sorry. I-m so so-sorry-" she managed as she choked on her blood. I stopped and let her breathe after I remembered she was no longer a creature of the night.

Damon and I locked eyes but he still struggled to move. As much as I wanted to kill her, and I know eventually he would forgive me, I don't know if I'd forgive myself.

"Elena even after all of the horrible things you've said and done to me for some reason, I can't bring myself to kill you and just end this all here. For some reason my heart won't let me inflict on you the same pain you caused me. I risked it all for you because I loved you with all of my heart. You've turned my life upside down and I lost my mind because of you. I will say thank you though, because you being such a horrible, selfish bitch brought me one of the greatest people I have in my life." I had tears running down my cheeks as I finished letting out my burdens.

"My next move is something I'm always going to hold with me and although it's not going to be easy, I have to do it".

She looked at me and for the first time in a long one I saw those human eyes that once gave me so much comfort amd warmth.

"I love you Bonnie" she quietley let out as a lone tear left her eyes.

"I love you too Elena" I replied genuienly as I sat down infront of her.

I placed my hands on each sude of her head and muttered out a spell that would remove all memories of us out of her life, replacing them with simpler ones. I opened my eyes as her body fell limp, the spell was over. I held her one last time before I did another spell to have her transported to somewhere safe, where no one would recognise her.

Once she was gone I closed my eyes one more time and let out the last little bit of emotion I had left in me. I felt warm arms embrace me. I inhaled the scent and relaxed. "How are you unstuck Damon?"

"It was a tranq, Stefan injected me"

"It's all over now" I said relieved

"Get some rest love, we'll evaluate the mess tomorrow" he said helping off the ground to our bedroom.

"Damon" I said pulling him back before he could leave.

"Yes cara?" He replied softly

"I love you" This time I could say it and truly mean it. There was no doubt in my mind that I was in love with him.

"I love you too Bon"

I felt a rush of air get taken out of my body when his lips touched mine and in that moment I knew, I never wanted him to let me go.
