This time I woke with my head throbbing in a way that had me believing I had downed more than a few tequilas. Not a very pleasant feeling by any standard.
"Christ...." I sat up with the world still spinning around me, but needing to get away from the coldness of whatever I was lying on. "Julian...?" My voice shook as I called the first name I thought of.
"Oh, I'm so sorry... Your little boyfriend isn't around to help you..." A tall raven-haired woman stepped from the shadows. I couldn't really place her age, she looked to be about twenty physically, but her eyes held an agelessness that I had only seen once before.
Power was literally rolling off her in a way that made my senses reel. She smirked at me letting me know she knew everything I was feeling and thinking. I had never before come up against this kind of power. Except for once. Klaus. She was exactly like Klaus in that way.
"Who are you?" I tried to stand and was plastered by her mocking and somewhat mad laughter as I was unable to.
"Look at you, you pathetic little human. You can't even stand on your own two legs and yet you demand things of me." She walked to me and without warning kicked me in the side. I gasped and cletched at the tender skin as stars exploded behind my now-closed eyelids. Pain was radiating through me from that point and I curled up tightly in a fetal position trying to make it go away.
"You are nothing!" She screamed amid her laughter echoed off the walls all around me. She kicked me again and again. "You are vermin! No better then the rodents humans poison! A nuisance!" She stopped only to laugh that horrible laugh and look down at me with such hatred in her eyes, I knew. She had never been human. And she was completely insane.
She leaned down only to grab me around the neck and hold me in the air looking into my eyes. My reflexes had me grabbing at her hands to loosen them when suddenly, her mouth came swiftly down on my kneck, canines extended.
Then came the worst. Her incredible power started draining at mine creating a funnel to her mind from me. Drawing on my power, my mind, my soul.... It felt like my head was exploding in on itself.
She dropped me back to the floor and I slowly lost consiousness as the pain turned to darkness.....
Change to Julian's POV
Bonnie's pain had been coming through to me for awhile even though I was not even in the same dimension. I had promised myself I would not go running to her. Clearly, I was not the one she wanted.
Suddenly though, her pain stopped. I sat up in confusion. Emotional pain didn't just disapear like that. It stayed with the person even through sleep often making them dream about it. Something was very wrong.
"Show me Bonnie." The mirror beside my bed was connected to her world. It was just clouds..... Fuzzy clouds. Nothing. Something was incredibly wrong. Fear and some other emotion clutched at my heart sending me jumping up and running to the rune-carved door. I had to find her.
