The gift of compassion
Bonnie wrote some notes into her Grimoire. She closed the book and her thoughts wondered away into all that had happened of late.
Damon found her staring into the fire as if she was compelled. He sat down next to her passing her a cup of hot chocolate.
"So...how are things in Hell?"- he asked referting to her strange glare.
"What do you mean?"- she said innocently trying to hide her inner turmoil.
"I know this look. And it's like you are to make a super heavy decision."- Damon said.
"I have already made it." Bonnie said taking the mug from him.
"It involves us saving the Original family, right?!" Damon said.
"Yes. It's stuff I can't tell you about, I am sorry. "-Bonnie said taking a deep breath.
"All right. You don't have to tell me. And I can't believe I am saying this. I mellowed way too much."- he joked a little.
Bonnie now put the head on his shoulder and stared into the fire. Damon put his arm around her.
Flashback
In New Orleans
After she had said goodbye to Elena, Bonnie went to Josephine's house.
"Good day." Josephine said to the witch.
"I am listening."- Bonnie said.
"Ayana pledged to always fight against dark magic and its presence. Now that you are the chosen one, you know that you have to uphold to her word."
"Why do you think I have killed Dahlia."- Bonnie said.
"I know you allegiance to the Mikaelson family, who have not done right by you and your family."
Bonnie tried to remain calm, although she hated being reminded how her mother became the casualty in the Mikaelson war.
"The day will come when the child will grow into a woman. A powerful witch that will stand against you. You've seen it."
Bonnie gave the old witch a cold look now saying "Is that all?"
"The child has got be taken to the other world. And the only one who has the gate is you."
"Are we done?"- Bonnie said.
"Yes. I will call you when all is ready." Josephine said.
Bonnie walked out of the house.

Sometime in the night in Mystic Falls
Bonnie kissed Damon, whom she put an herbal extract in the blood spelled to sleep for a long while.
An hour later
Marcel came to the meeting point at the Wickery Bridge.
"Here she is." Marcel said and Bonnie took the child from him, looking at Gia, who was fast asleep.
"This is my end of the bargain." - Marcel said to her.
"Mine too!!"- Bonnie said and with tears in her eyes she now staked without flinching both Marcel and Gia.
The two vampires crumbled into the death.
Not long after Bonnie met up with Elena.
"Hey..."- Elena said as she got out of the SUV.
"We have to hurry."- Bonnie said- "it's nearly dawn. And you have to get rid of those two."- Bonnie.
"Hope?"- Elena said.
"Asleep in the car. I'll get her."- Bonnie said.
She then took the girl gently out of the car. In the meantime, Elena put the two vampire's bodies in the back of the SUV.
The women then set off to the caves in the woods.
Elena took the vampire bodies into the cave and set them on fire.
"Think of them as colaterale damage."- Klaus' words bounced in her head- "or I can just go on a rampage and kill them myself and after all, Marcel plotted with the witch, and his beloved vampire plotted against you, Elena. So, what is it going to be?"
"I'll deal with them"- Bonnie said.
"Have you texted Klaus?"-Bonnie asked as Elena returned.
"Yes."-Elena answered shortly.
"Right. Let's do this!"- Bonnie said to her friend.
"Crazy witches would never ever let it go?!" Elena muttered driving now out of the woods to the lake.
"No."- Bonnie said looking at Hope.
When they got to the lake, Elena took Elijah out of his coffin. She held his lifeless body in her arms.
"Ready?!"- Bonnie said to her
"Yep."- Elena said and the two women, with Hope and Elijah now got ready for going over to the fake world.
Bonnie took the ascendant opening it to the coordinates that would take them directly to Nova Scotia. Bonnie now spilled the blood on the ascendant and chanting the spell the crossed over with the dawn.
***
In New Orleans Klaus tried to calm Hayley down. As the sedative wore off that was put into her blood she had discovered that Hope was gone.
"And you just gave our child to the witch to take her to some AU to extract dark magic out of her?! Arghhh!"
Klaus held the raging hybrid tight, looking at her with sadness but strong conviction.
"I couldn't tell you. Too many people have plotted against us. My sister, Elijah's knock off vampire, Marcel, witches. So, I put my trust in Elena Gilbert and Bonnie Bennett. The enemy of my enemy is my friend!"- Klaus said and with that twisted her head. Hayley slumped in his arms. He then laid her down on the sofa and whispered-"Elijah's woman and her gift of compassion will save us all. Who would have thought?!"
****
AU or fake Nova Scotia
"I thought I would never see this place again."- Elena said as she saw the surroundings that brought bad memories back.
Hope was now awake and Bonnie now gave her something to drink and a bottle to drink.
Elena put Elijah gently to the ground.
"Ok. I am going down to get the Cure."- Elena said to her friend and went off in a flash.
Bonnie smiled at Hope sighing a little- "When you grow up, I hope you get to be a real kickass little wolf girl. And believe me, living without magic actually was good. It's not all what it's cracked out to be. Having all this power feels like a curse most days."
"Hope is going to kill you. That is the darkness she carries with her. Nature has played a trick on you."- Bonnie said to Klaus- "believe it or not, But Ayana's magic has set it in motion- "she couldn't just accept what Esther did."
Bonnie now sang to Hope, who found the magic lullaby pleasing.
In the cave, Elena now got to where Silas laid asleep. It was surreal seeing him in his shriveled state.
There was no time to dwell on the past. She now did as Bonnie said she should do. She took the little bottle of Bonnie's blood.
"Just one drop, so he eases the clutch on the Cure"-Bonnie's words drummed in her head.
With vampiric speed and precision, Elena did as she was instructed.
She had the potent Cure and was now climbing out of the cave.
In no time, she rejoined her friend.
"Done."- Elena said.
"Ok. So, that's it."- Bonnie said looking at her friend who looked at the Original vampire.
"Are you gonna miss it?"- Bonnie asked.
"I hated being a vampire, the drinking, trying to always be in control, but I would be lying if I said that I would miss being strong and fast. What does that give me if I can't really help the one I love."
And with saying that she took the Cure.
