A/N: I wrote this because I want a badass Bonnie with Tyler. And then I wanted a polyamorous relationship. Then I figured writing ripper!Stefan could be fun. This is pretty much AU because well, some of these things are canon, but the time frame and pairings aren't. This first chapter is pretty short, but I needed a good place to end it. I have no beta so all mistakes are mine. Please review and leave feedback so I can better my story

Bonnie Bennett oozed substantial power. It clung to her tightly and released euphoria in her wake. Tyler remembers feeling it caress and appeal to his werewolf side easily. It made him feel like he was alive. He also felt the danger and darkness that came with the magic Bonnie was wielding. It crashed cautiously against his psych that often left him unbalanced and uncertain with what to do about it.

He remembers how it felt to be a werewolf that always felt Bonnie's magic. It was always there in a comforting matter, attached to a pretty girl with a pretty smile and big heart. Now that Tyler is also a vampire, the feeling has somewhat left him, yet its intensified. He's not sure if its because he's an Alpha now, or if its because he find some kind of stability in caving into his werewolf side. Either way, he still can feel Bonnie's magic and all of its glory, but it feels different. He can fill the dips and caresses of it. He can feel its danger lurking over his shoulder. He can feel every bit of magic that Bonnie is releasing and its scary, because he knows she's not doing it on purpose, she's just doing it because she has so much power at the tips of her fingers.

Her magic isn't as comforting as it once was though. Tyler wants to believe that its because of his newly developed abilities.

He doesn't know much about expression or why its so important that Bonnie uses it. He never bothered to ask questions when Jeremy was letting him know how Bonnie was doing. He did not feel the need to. He figured he doesn't know about expression and all that it does for a reason. He doesn't know much about magic at all really, but he knows something isn't right about what Bonnie is doing. And Tyler, like any good hybrid stuck in a problematic sire bond, went right to Klaus to look for answers.

"So," he started, "do you know a lot about magic?" Tyler tried to go for a nonchalance approach, but the sly smirk that broke out on the Originals face told him he failed.

"Hm. I know quite a bit about magic. Why do you ask?" Suspicion glinted in Klaus' eyes and he watched Tyler closely looking for any signs of deceit.

Tyler resisted the urge to fidget under his close scrutiny. He knew that the action made him look guilty and the last thing he wanted to do was be compelled into being honest.

"I was just wondering if vampires react negatively to magic. Like, if magic makes them uncomfortable or something," Tyler responded cooly.

Klaus turned away from Tyler and went back to staring at his glass of scotch, just how Tyler found him. Silence stretched as he swirled the ice in his cup around repeatedly before finally taking a sip of his drink. Then he looked back up at Tyler and says, "The magic can be threatening if the witch or warlock is strong enough, which can cause some vampire to be frightened. But if said vampire is smart, he would be attracted to that smell of power and decide to accompany it someway. That is what I have always done, and I have had more than a pocketful of witches to prove that."

Tyler did not respond. He just thought things that barely connected back to the big picture; something was up with Bonnie's magic and it was setting of all the wrong reactions.

Low chuckling broke off his bad thought process. The blonde hybrid stared at Tyler like he knew just why he was asking about this. Tyler hoped he did not.

"Why Tyler, do these questions have anything to do with a 5'2 Bennett witch using expression?"

Tyler almost growled in frustration. Jeremy swore that he didn't tell anyone else because he didn't trust them to not blab about it to someone who wasn't supposed to know. Tyler didn't get why Jeremy would tell him seeing as he can be compelled, but he guesses it comes with best friend territory. Still, Tyler didn't tell, Jeremy couldn't tell, and Bonnie wouldn't tell, so that must mean that expression is bit easier to spot than Bonnie and Jeremy predicted and Tyler wishes he would have googled his questions instead.

Tyler looked away from Klaus' imploring stare and debated on whether or not to tell the truth. In the end, the results will be the same no matter what; Klaus will know the truth. So Tyler decided he mind as well cut to the chase to prevent compelling.

He nodded his head, still looking away. How mad will Jeremy be when he finds out Tyler told Bonnie's business willingly? Probably mad enough to tell Bonnie and try to kick his ass. Tyler might just let him.

Klaus clucked his tongue and said, "There's nothing we can really do about that Tyler, is there?" Before Tyler could question the "we" and ask why the hell can't they do anything, Klaus finishes, "Besides help her take pride in her new found darkness. Maybe she could get those imbecile friends of her's from leeching on her and blocking her light. I have always wanted to have an alliance with a Bennett witch. She emits an abundance of power and inncocence that can most definetly be to anyone's advantage. Hopefully just mine," Klaus rambled.

With all of the problematic things Klaus just sprouted about how he can take advantage of Bonnie, Tyler could only focus on one part.

"Maybe she could get those imbecile friends of her's from leeching on her and blocking her light."

Is that what this was? Was Bonnie teetering on the figurative ledge to help her friends? Caroline? Elena? Jeremy? Matt? Stefan? Me?

He thought back to all the times when she's helped him without hesitation. From very late science projects to putting spells on his chains so he didn't break them during his transition, she was always there and barely accepting his thank you's because that's what friends are for.

Yet, Tyler couldn't even come up with a time he has helped Bonnie like she has helped him. Because, no, picking up her pencil when it rolls close to him does not count at all. A stranger would do that.

If his memory is serving him correctly, he might have lacked a very special thank you from when Bonnie saved his life. If it wasn't for her, he would be dead yet, his mind could not conjure up the image of him thanking her for that. He thanked Caroline for being there with him. He thanked Klaus for preventing another painful transition because of the full moon. Hell, he even thanked Elena for her blood, and he can't even tolerate her on most occasions. But none of that would have mattered if he died. And he didn't even thank her.

His revelation hit him quickly and in full force. Bonnie is unappreciated and has the weight of the world on her shoulders. Of course she'll go to drastic measures to help her friends.

"Maybe she could get those imbecile friends of her's from leeching on her and blocking her light."

And maybe Klaus should have called them ungrateful too.
