Disclaimery Stuff: I own nothing, all rights to their respective owners. I don’t normally write fanfic so this might be total shit. Also, I haven’t written a book form story in like 5 years (since my book was published) only scripts so my tenses might be completely off. If so, maybe be nice and don’t point it out unless it really fucks with the story.
So basically I got all inspired by Daniel Gillies wish to have the Originals in a spinoff that involved them as like mafia in New York. I started writing that story except too much exposition was having to happen about how they left Mystic Falls. Which I would have left out except Caroline is with the Originals and I felt like there needed to be reasons for why she left which meant there needed to be reasons to get the Originals out alive. Which is all to say that the prologue ended up really damn long and I wrote it in random pieces and then got tired of writing Bonnie scenes because I’m really not a Bonnie fan and this isn’t the Mystic Falls story. So that’s why there’s a fair amount of exposition to start things off. It’s also why all the scenes include at least Caroline or an Original or both. Once the chapters start, you’ll see more Elijah and Rebekah.
We’re about two months past the events of “All My Children” (which means time moves really slow in my version of this world). Tyler returned and apologized to Caroline again, asking for another chance. Caroline forgave Tyler but chose Klaus, to the Original hybrid’s shock and unbridled joy.
It turned out that a witch transitioning into a vampire was more difficult than anyone had anticipated. The whole balance of nature meant there was in essence a war within one’s self. Abby wasn’t strong enough to survive the changes and died a few days later. Elena did her best to respect Bonnie’s request for privacy, though she found small ways to try and tell Bonnie that she cared. It wasn’t enough. With Abby’s death, something in Bonnie finally snapped.
She found her own spell in the Martins’ collection of grimoires that allowed her to access the power of her ancestors. Esther learned of this and secretly returned to Mystic Falls with Finn and offered her assistance to Bonnie if she would help her kill her children. Bonnie told Esther in no uncertain terms that Esther started this mess when she created the vampires in the first place. Bonnie had no faith that Esther would get it right this time. Then Bonnie channeled her ancestors and ripped Esther’s heart out without even touching her.
Finn fled and found Elijah, telling him what happened. Finn has since disappeared, while Elijah tracked down Kol and returned to Mystic Falls. The Originals have kept an eye on the situation, making sure Elena is safe as the doppelganger, but until a couple days ago, stayed uninvolved. However, Rebekah has since learned that Bonnie has the remainder of the white oak, so it’s only a matter of time before they get involved.
Over the last few weeks, Bonnie has been on a rampage, killing hybrids and other vampires. Her additional power has allowed her to intensify the pain of the aneurysms she can send to a supernatural brain. Bonnie hits the hybrids over and over with the pain until their heads literally explode. Klaus is annoyed by all this as one might expect, but he’s also so infatuated with Caroline that he’s adopted a “don’t give a shit” attitude for the most part. Once he learns what Rebekah knows, everyone is hoping that will get him involved, so that there might be a chance of taking down Bonnie.
Elena and Caroline know that Bonnie needs to be stopped, but because they haven’t seen her in action, haven’t realized just how off the reservation she’s gone. They don’t realize that the Bonnie they used to know is gone, completely shut off. That’s all about to change, as Bonnie is using Tyler to show her former friends just how serious she is about ridding the world of vampires, hybrids and werewolves, and restoring the balance of nature.
Still, a lot of discussion and planning has happened as Bonnie’s been on her witch rampage. The need to stop her is there. Leading to the following culmination of events.
