Mine

I've missed you terribly

AN: Damon calls a familiar face back to Mystic Falls, while Bonnie finds she can't leave the confines of her hometown.

When you truly love someone, no one else can ever come close, no one else will ever compare, no matter how much time has passed.

***UPDATE: On reading this back I realized that Bonnie was initially more upset with Kol over the Davina thing so I had to work that out from her perspective when she'd found out that they were a thing. And I added the details of Esther's final demise, it kept getting away from me I looked back and felt it made more sense to include that here and close out the Esther arc.

Kol and Damon's POV

The next day

Stefan followed Damon into the foyer. "Damon, are you sure this is a good idea?"

"What else am I gonna do Stefan? I can't protect her and this siphon freak is obsessed with her! And knowing Bonnie she won't want to risk putting anyone else in danger. She will put herself on the line, over and over again just to keep all of us safe even if that means ending up dead or worse- back in a prison world hell with that freak where he can torture her and rape her on a loop! She already brought me and Elena back and we got her back just before he actually defiled her. He won't waste time if he gets his hands on her again. The Original psycho can only be killed by a white oak stake, so if he's siphoned, he'll come back. Bonnie's not a witchy 911 battery. The more she uses their magic against him, the more it drains her because, surprise surprise, his magic won't let her betray him. And if she has to keep bringing us back she's going to exhaust herself and we won't have our Bennett witch and I won't have my-my best friend. I love her, Stefan. So you tell me, what the hell am I supposed to do at this point?" He shook as he spoke that last sentence.

"I understand Damon but calling an Original Vampire, the most volatile one when we don't even know where the last white oak stake is?" Stefan tried. "What if Kai somehow-"

Damon's eyes widened then narrowed and he walked around his baby brother, both of their vampire senses picking up a presence at the door. "He's here. He can at least help protect her." True, it was an impulsive decision to call back Kol to Mystic Falls, but the decision had already been made. There was no going back now.

As Damon left to answer the door, Caroline and Elena came into the foyer to stand with Stefan.

"Hey," Stefan said quietly as he wrapped Caroline in an embrace. "How's Bonnie?"

"She's resting," Caroline said. "And I lit more sage, too, it sounded a little intense down here. I know you guys hate this idea but I think Damon's got a point. This could help us save Bonnie from that Gemini psycho, Stefan!"

Elena chimed in. "She's right Stefan, Kol always said he used to run with a lot of witch covens. And he's got a few centuries of experience with different types of magic. With Kol here it's our best chance. We can't keep..."

Elena didn't get to finish her sentence about how they couldn't keep exhausting Bonnie's magic when it came to Kai because she was interrupted by Damon being sent flying into the room and crashing against a grandfather clock. It shattered and fell on top of him. Damon groaned a moment before getting up and shaking himself off.
