WARRIOR QUEEN • N. MIKAELSON [1]

Chapter 22

"What are you doing here?" She asked narrowing her eyes at me.

"No one knows I'm here. I mean no harm." I said. "I-uh I come to ask for a favour."

"What do you need?" She asked sceptically. I didn't blame her. I would be too if my life was ruined because of vampires and now a vampire stranger came knocking to your house asking for a favour.

"Uh-Do you mind if we talked about this inside? I don't really feel comfortable knowing there may be ears listening." I said nervously.

She stared at me eyes full of distrust. I sighed "Like Lijah said, if I want to harm you, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now." I looked at her showing how serious I was.

"Come in." She opened the door wider and gestured me to come inside.

I did. Her home was warm and cozy. But I paid no attention.

I faced Bonnie who was now crossing her arms in front of me.

"I need something for a silencing spell." I said.

"You mean you want me to put a silencing spell in something?" She asked confused.

"Yes something portable. I want to put it for my room."

She looked at me thoughtfully. Probably wondering why I was asking for this.

"It's about what those witches did to you the other day, isn't it?" She asked.

I sighed and looked down. "Yes." I confessed.

"You know I could help you make it disappear, right?" She asked.

"Yes." I said.

"But you don't want it. Why?" She asked confused.

I looked down. Flashes of my dreams swarmed in my mind one after the other. Emotions I had been suppressing were threatening to make its appearance. Pain. Regret. Guilt.

"Maybe because I deserved it." I said with a thick hoarse voice.

She sighed. "Wait here."

She walked away into deeper part of her house while I stayed put like she told me to. She came back not a minute later holding some kind of black bean bag. She opened it and showed me some white salt.

"This salt I casted a spell into it. You just have to dissolve it in water and spread it on the ground at your door making a line." She held it out for me to take.

I took it and said "Thank you Bonnie truly." I turned around and was about to walk away when she stopped me.

"Why are you defending me against Klaus?"

I turned around to face her once more. "Because he shouldn't have treated you that way."

"He treated my friends the same, but you did nothing."

I looked away guilty and sighed. "I see the person I wanted to be in you, Bonnie." I said and looked into her eyes. "A person who didn't fail to save her friends."

She stared at me loss of words. Not knowing what to say.

"I felt a connection from you earlier when I did the spell." She said looking at me.

"I felt it too. It was like something inside me recognized you? What was that, Bonnie?" I asked.

"I don't know. But I sensed darkness when we shook hands the first time. And when I performed the spell I felt it radiates stronger from you."

My mouth opened and closed while my brain trying to find for a possible explanation behind that and found none. "I don't know, Bonnie." I whispered.
