Chapter one
Mckennah was staring at her suitcases that sat in the foyer of the huge palace like mansion that she shared with Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah. The past two years had been surprisingly uneventful for them in the french quarter. Klaus reconnected with his adopted son Marcel and Elijah fell in love with a blonde bartender named Cami. Rebekah, who wanted nothing more than to leave Mystic Falls, was actually missing it. Namely a certain blue eyed football player.
If she was really honest with herself she missed it too. Fifty years seemed like it would go by so quick now that she was a vampire but in truth the past two years were hell with out Damon.
She had nightmares three or four times a week and she couldn't stop them. Knowing that it was the bond and he most likely was having the same problems. There were many times she got up in the middle of the night and went to pack a bag. Every time she did though images of him and Caroline stopped her in her tracks.
All it took was a call from Elena to change her mind about the whole situation. It seemed that Caroline was more of a crazy stalker bitch than she had originally thought. The fact that she was still hell bent on getting Damon was the least of her problems. Elena told her that there may be a way to undo the bond that had all three of them in a choke hold. If that were true she would have some decisions to make.
She loves Damon don't get her wrong, but the bond went to the extreme and back. The selfish part of her never wanted the bond to be broken because then she knew that she was in love with them both. Damon showed her what was really important in life and Klaus had shown her stability that she had never had before. If the bond were broken she knew she'd have to choose and that killed her.
Either way she knew she couldn't run from her problems any more. Klaus walked down the front stairs with a frown on his face.
When Mckennah told him she was going back to Mystic Falls he went apeshit and killed ten people. She almost left for good but according to Rebekah that was the Klaus she spent over a thousand years with.
" He has a soft spot for you that I never thought was possible. My brother has never taken much stock in love, but some how that changed. " She had said.
Mckennah really wished the words were true. Part of her knew that the bond had a lot to do with him having a " soft spot " for her. She wasn't complaining, but there were a lot of pros and cons of breaking the bond.
Break it and have to choose between two people who had changed her life forever. Break it and risk Klaus going back to he really was. Break it and risk her heart being broken by Damon again. It was like a scale going back and forth in her mind.
At first Klaus wanted to go with her but she insisted that he stay. He had a whole city of supernatural beings to govern over and she knew they needed him more than she did at the moment. Something told her he'd be making a " surprise " visit at some point.
When he got to the last step he vamp sped and kissed her senseless. No doubt in an effort to show her what she was leaving. " Are you sure you want to go back love? "
See? Mckennah smiled up at him. " I have to. You know how it is when females can't take a hint. I'll go and deal with Caroline and be back before you can find some one else to warm your bed. "
Klaus did not find her joke funny. He pulled her into a tight hug and sighed. " Like I could ever find another Mckennah Gilbert. "

Stefan walked into the living room and rolled his eyes. Damon was laying on the floor in front of the fire place with several empty bottles of bourbon all around him.
" This is truly pathetic. " Stefan said picking up the trash that surrounded him.
Damon moaned and turned over. " Leave me to wallow alone brother. "
" I know you miss Mckennah- " Stefan said and Damon's face had a look of pure sadness to it. " she made her own decision and you have to find a way to live with that. "
The hung over vampire finally got to his feet and walked up to his little brother. " That's easy for you to say. The love of your life is here. " He said walking past him to find another bottle of bourbon.
" Take a shower man. You look and smell gross. " Stefan called after him.
Damon lifted his arm and sniffed. Yeah a shower was definitely in order. Then maybe he'll go get a drink at the grille. He hadn't slept in a week and had nothing better to do.
He never mentioned the nightmares to any one or the fact that drowning himself in bourbon was the only way to keep them at bay, when he did sleep that is.
He knew he could always just have the bond broken, but he knew he deserved everything he was going through. He also knew that there was a chance of him losing her forever too. The past two years were hell and everything that led up to her leaving swirled around in his head. He fucked up big time. After spending all of them years watching over her waiting for the day he could make her his and he goes and ruins it.
Vampire Barbie was thrilled when she found out that Mckennah had left Mystic Falls with Klaus. She was on the first thing smoking from her dad's house and has been doing everything in her power to get him to notice her. Too bad he never made the same mistake twice.
A/N Okay so I've decided the bond must be broken! Mckennah will have to choose one or the other... Soooo are you TeamDamon or TeamKlaus?
