Hey all. Thank you for reading and reviewing my story

'So he actually left you alive?' asked Caroline fascinated.

'For the sixteenth time, yes!' said Bonnie rolling her eyes, 'and yes I am counting.'

'Well maybe he's on our side.' Suggested Caroline.

'They are the originals.' Reminded Bonnie, 'They are on nobody's side but theirs.'

Bonnie fidgeted, very uncomfortable in her red dress. She looked at Caroline and Elena both of who looked quite comfortable in theirs.

'Relax Bonnie,' said Elena glancing at Bonnie, 'it's the founder's ball. Let's enjoy for old times sake.'

'Hmm I am pretty sure she didn't enjoy it back then either.' Said Caroline grinning, 'Where the hell is Matt?'

'Remind me again why you asked Matt to come with you?' said Bonnie raising an eyebrow.

'There's Stefan' murmured Elena, 'I have to talk to him.'

Elena left quickly.

'Isn't it obvious?' Said Caroline, 'If I did not ask him, Rebekah would. And even if Matt did say no, she would find a way. So since I am date-less, like you, I decided who better to go with than innocent Matt.'

'Of course.' Agreed Bonnie grinning, 'How are you dealing with the whole Klaus-Tyler thing?'

Caroline groaned.

'Urgh!' she said, 'Don't even get me started. Let's jut have a nice original free time today.'

'Looks like you're going to have to leave then.' Said Bonnie as she saw Rebekah, Kol and Elijah enter.

'There's Matt.' Said Caroline quickly, 'Just one dance to shove it in Barbie Klaus's face and I am out of here.'

Bonnie shook her head at Caroline's actions.

She sighed as she stood alone, looking away from the originals.

….

'Look Kol,' muttered Rebekah glancing at Bonnie, 'There's your spice.'

Elijah raised an eyebrow at Rebekah's words, but decided not to say anything.

'Now this stupid party is going to be interesting,' said Kol smirking, 'Rebekah, be a good sister and go tell her how interesting I am.'

Rebekah rolled her eyes but then smiled.

'Of course dear brother.' She said slowly walking towards Bonnie.

Kol frowned.

'Elijah,' he told his brother, 'I think Rebekah was being sarcastic.'

'I know that she was,' replied Elijah, 'you are over a thousand years old, Kol. Grow up.'

Kol rolled his eyes as Elijah walked away. He turned to look at Rebekah and Bonnie.

….

'Hello Bonnie.' Said Rebekah sweetly as she approached Bonnie.

Bonnie looked at Rebekah warily.

'Out with it,' said Bonnie, 'whatever you came here to say.'

She was in no mood to chat with the vampire who hated her friends and her.

'Well you met Kol yesterday,' said Rebekah frankly, 'I wonder what you think of him?'

'I don't waste my thoughts on him,' replied Bonnie coldly glancing at Kol who was looking their way, 'and if I did, I would say he's an ass.'

'Hmm,' mumbled Rebekah looking at Kol too, and then flashing a smirk in his direction she added, 'I don't like you, but you should know. My brother likes to play with his food before he eats it.'

Kol could have gladly ripped Rebekah's head off as his sensitive hearing picked this up. He decided to talk to the spicy Bennett witch himself.

He put on a smile lethally combined with his intense eyes and moved towards Bonnie.

'Don't bother pretending you did not hear Rebekah and me talking,' said Bonnie as Kol approached, 'And I did mean whatever I said.'

'I just came here to ask you to dance with me.' Said Kol wickedly, 'It would be very rude to refuse.'

'You should know,' said Bonnie her eyes blazing, 'I don't mind being rude.'

Bonnie started to move away but Kol's next words stopped her.

'You should know darling,' said Kol raising an eyebrow, 'I don't take no for an answer. Dance with me or let me know whom I shall kill in this party.'

If looks could kill then Kol would have dropped dead right there.

Bonnie slammed her hand in to Kol's and let him led her to the dance floor.

'There now,' said Kol amused, 'aren't we getting nicer.'

'Doing it for the people.' Muttered Bonnie.

'Ah,' said Kol raising his eyebrow, 'so my threats are being taken seriously?'

'If you are anything like your brother, Klaus,' aid Bonnie icily, 'then I would have be insane not to take your threats seriously.'

'I am nothing like Nik.' Declared Kol frowning.

'I doubt that.' Muttered Bonnie scoffing.

'I am trying to be nice darling,' said Kol quietly, 'Don't test me.'

Bonnie for the first time that evening felt a spark of fear inside her at the look in Kol' eyes.

'Threatening a lady while dancing?' came Elijah's voice, 'Haven't I taught you better, Kol?'

Kol's eyes flashed up to meet his brother's.

'Elijah,' said Kol smirking, 'You would know better than to interrupt me while I am with a lady.'

'It does look like the lady is being forced to be here,' said Elijah quietly glancing at Bonnie who watched the exchange open mouthed, 'very ungentlemanly of you.'

Kol smirked but his eyes were dark.

'Miss. Bennett' said Elijah, 'Excuse my brother. He can be quite childish.'

Bonnie fought to keep a straight face. Elijah was openly humiliating Kol.

'Well at least I do not run after Niklaus's victims trying to save damsels in distress, even though they'd choose others.' Shot back Kol, 'How many were there Elijah?'

Elijah did not reply. Instead, he walked away.

'Sorry about that.' Said Kol to Bonnie, 'My brothers are a bit of an irritation.'

'He was right though.' Said Bonnie staring at Elijah's retreating back, 'You did blackmail me to get this dance.'

'I had to do something.' Said Kol, 'to get your attention.'

'The more I pay attention to you,' said Bonnie moving away as the song ended, 'the more I realize what a monster you are.'

Kol set his teeth but did not say anything. He had one more thing on his mind. His brother.
