Above All Else

Chapter 16

Bonnie slowly came to awareness momentarily panicking at the feel of a bed that was definitely not her own. Sensing a powerful presence close by she sat up quickly throwing her arm out to send a wave of her magic knocking the person out of a chair and to the floor.

"What the bloody hell woman!"

Bonnie's eyes widened as she sat frozen on the bed, "Kol?"

Picking himself up off the floor Kol reached down to grab the book he had been reading cocking his head sending her a cheeky grin, "Now is that anyway to treat your rescuer?"

Bonnie sat on the bed her eyebrows furrowed in confusion, "I don't understand. How are you alive?" She slowly began to gain function back into her body as she continued more harshly, "And what do you mean rescuer?"

Kol sank back into the chair he had been in most of the night, "You really don't remember? Well Darling that's a true blow to my ego after I swooped in to save you Bonnie Lass."

Bonnie shook her head as the images from the night before came rushing back, "It's done. I finished the triangle."

Kol chuckled, "Actually our dear sweet Caroline did that for you."

Bonnie's head was filled with confusion over all the questions she had but not knowing where to start first. "Wait, Caroline killed the witches? But why?"

Kol leaned forward setting the book he had next to him along the armrest of the chair and then rested his elbows on his knees folding his hands together. "That witch was about to stab you in the heart when Caroline flashed over stabbing her instead. Killed the whole lot of them it did since they were linked."

Bonnie looked down sheepishly at her fingers playing with the end of the blanket covering her, "They over powered me as soon as they linked. I should have listened to Care when she told me not to go alone. I was so sure of myself that I didn't even think what could've happen if they linked themselves together." Bonnie, strong willed as ever, shot her head up narrowing her eyes at him, "It still doesn't explain why you of all people were there to help. Now tell me how are you even alive? I watched you die."

Kol's face hardened, "Yes a fact I remember all too well little witch." Kol stood and began pacing the bedroom running his hand through his hair in irritation. "I should torture and kill you for that little stunt." He saw Bonnie jump off the bed ready to defend herself out of the corner of his eyes. Turning to face her he smirked, "Such spirit. Don't worry so much Darling, I only stated that I should not that I'm going to. You did me quite the favor actually."

Bonnie lowered her hands slowly looking at him quizzically, "What do you mean?"

Kol's grin grew as he took a few steps closer to her holding one of his hands palm up towards her, "Why don't you see for yourself Darling?"

Bonnie hesitated for a second before she gently laid her hand on top of his ready to pull back if this was all just a trick. As soon as their hands touched she seen a white flash behind her eyelids as they slide closed at the rush of power she felt from him. Her eyes snapped open wide as her mouth dropped whispering, "It's you! I...I can feel it! You're what I'm supposed to connect to! How did you...I don't understand." She stuttered as she removed her hand from his taking a step back.

Kol placed his hands into his pant pockets shrugging his shoulders, "Its simple Darling. I met with a coven centuries ago that foretold of my death and my consequential rebirth. I have been a part of a plan longer than you could imagine."

"What plan is that?" She asked as she folded her arms across her body.

"No need to worry your pretty little head about it. Let's just say the things that you think you know, isn't what you will know at all." Kol replied cryptically.
