Authors note: was gonna go episodic for season 4 episode 19 of the vampire diaries but I decided to go awol. I have an idea on how I want this chapter to go.
The title should give you some Idea. Idk how soon I'll bring this back. May wait until season 2 of The originals to do so. That would allow Bonnie to become the anchor of the other side while Zach establishes a foothold in New Orleans.
To those of you who say, "he's got one already," I disagree. He simply decided to go there after finding a pack he can trust. He still doesn't have an army. Still trying to figure out how to go about that. But I will.
I also think season 2 is perfect to bring someone like bonnie into the story because of Esther and Dahlia's importance. Oh and how could I forget darling Freya? Honestly if not Bonnie that's the girl Zach would've been paired with.
Hope you enjoy the chapter. I don't know how long she'll be but 🤷

Zach
I decided to go to the quarry. That's where everything becomes clear in this town. After my engagement with the original hybrid I need to review.
When I really tried I was able to surprise him and throw him off. My speed was adequate enough to dodge him after getting a read on his speed and approach with the first punch.
My claws also cut deeply into him. But the guy barely made a sound. I guess 1,000 years of fighting will allow you to better accept pain. I didn't go after him in my wolf form because I didn't want to fight him in the first place.
While I would enjoy his teaching me how to really fight, I didn't want that on our first meeting. I chuckle to myself. My first meeting with Elijah had gone very similarly.
I think back over the events happening tonight. Apparently it's prom. I remember that in my last life. I'd only just gotten finished with my own a bit before I woke up in this strange new reality with abilities I couldn't have imagined.
I'm about to lay back to look at the stars when my phone buzzed. I look at it to see a text message.
Mr. Steel, it seems you met my brother this evening. Perhaps you and I could chat in a more dignified manner. Unfortunately my brother was encountering some bad news just before meeting you and he allowed that to over shadow his judgement, something that is quite normal for him actually.
Allow me to invite you for a drink. To apologize on his behalf. The invitation is open at this address.
Elijah
I sigh but decide that's not a bad idea. I'll grab my bike back from the Grill. I also wanted to drop a few hints about the original's old home anyway. Better to have some cordial relations with them when they come to conquer it again.
Granted I'm not in the mood to run a city. What I'd said to Bonnie the last time I saw her was true. I want to live somewhere I can truly be a werewolf. Where I don't have to hide myself, to watch every word I say.
Though, in a place like the French Quarter, watching what you say is needed for an entirely different reason. I've been craving such things. The intrigue. The plots. My entire time in this new place has been training myself to feel comfortable enough entering the city limits without a care.
Now after fighting Klaus, I feel ready.
I speed my way to the Grill and grab my Bike. The sleek black speed demon is my favorite way to get around sans being awesome and blurring from place to place.
I start the bike and rev the engine with one hand while the other throws on my helmet. After that I strap it in and throw my bike into gear, and On one wheel leave the parking lot.
Time to speak to my original friend.

Bonnie
This night had been a disaster. From Silas tricking me into thinking Jeremy was back and then elena attacking me to keep him dead to avoid turning her emotions back on.
I was scared. Scared of how good it felt to inflict pain on Elena. Here was everyone only trying to help her and she attacks me.
Eventually I let go of the feeling, but I was on a magic high. I left the school. Eager to follow the pulsing I felt in my magic. To be completely honest everything was far to hazy for me to truly understand what was happening. I just followed that feeling.

Later
I didn't even know how long I'd been walking. I wasn't tired at all. The amount of magic running through me right now couldve launched me to the moon and back with ease.
I notice I'm outside the Mikaelson manor. Odd. The door opens to reveal A servant.
"Yes my dear?" The elderly women asks.
"Who's here?" I ask her.
"Mr. Elijah and Mr. Steel are having a meeting." The compelled women replies.
If I'd been walking down steps I'm sure I'd have fallen down them at the name Steel. I quickly push past her and follow the pulse of my magic. Like a heartbeat, I realize as I don't bother knocking and open the door.
What's inside makes my magic pulse faster and faster. I see him. After all this time. Zach. The first guy who'd helped me without asking anything in return. The one who disappeared for a year and a half.
He turned his crimson eyes to me and I lost myself. I don't even know what happened next. It's only images running through a reel in my mind too fast to comprehend.
I make out a few images. Hugging Zach. Crying into his shirt. Being lifted and carried. And finally, kissing Zach in the quarry under the stars. Like I'd always imagined.

Zach
The meeting with Elijah was going well. Simple small talk and drinking really. Just as I'd broached the subject of New Orleans and the vampire who runs it I was interrupted.
My instincts began throbbing in rhythm with a beat. It felt belatedly like a heart beat.
Before I or Elijah could comprehend what was happening we heard a knock on the door downstairs and a voice I was familiar with. 'Damn, expression Bonnie feels…. Powerful.' The thought runs through my mind as I exchange a glance with Elijah.
I myself can feel the slight electric feeling in the air. Kind of like standing in a room of static. The door opens and I see Bonnie.
Not the Bonnie I remember but a darker version of her. One with veins all over her face and arms. She says something incomprehensible before rushing to me.
When we make contact it feels like I'm hugging a live wire. I look to Elijah as the witch falls apart in my arms. "My apologies. I'll have to continue this some other time." I say not even giving him a chance to respond before I blur away with Bonnie in a bridal carry.

I honestly didn't know where to take her. I decided the quarry would be good. We arrive and the sniffles begin to drift away.
I reach a spot where a log is and try to sit her down but she just hugged onto me like a koala.
I sat down with her in my arms and spoke, "Forgive me Bonnie. I wish our first meeting after so long was under better circumstances."
After not getting an answer from the witch I look away from the stars and see her eyes locked onto me. An eerie glowing green.
Even my enhanced abilities can't react fast enough to Bonnie pulling me down toward her.
Under the stars and the beautiful backdrop of the quarry, I felt a connection form with her while we released some of the tension that'd built up since our first meeting.
She was ravenous. I tried stopping it. To ask about what was happening. Finally Bonnie bit my lip making it bleed. I feel her drinking it.
I decided to oblige and sharpened my top two front teeth and bit into her lip.
When her blood touched my tongue….. everything changed.
