Plan K ~ Chapter Three ~ Stefan Takes Charge

When Bonnie bolted for the door, Stefan wasn't far behind. He knew that Katherine would not only kill Matt, but kill Bonnie as well, he had to stop her. He grabbed her and flung her over his shoulder. As he headed back into the Boardinghouse, Bonnie kicked and screamed for Stefan to put her down, when that didn't work, she did what she does best … inflict pain upon a Vampire's brain. Aneurysm after aneurysm burst inside Stefan's brain nearly bringing him to his knees, but he powered through, showing his fangs, growling like a monster and forcefully throwing Bonnie down on the couch. She remained focused trying to get Stefan to stop advancing on her, but he was stronger, meaner, madder than she had ever seen him … except when he was drinking human blood … that's when the light bulb went off and she knew that Stefan was "drinking" again.

Damon was ready to advance on Bonnie himself, many times he was on the short end of that broom of hers … he knew what Stefan's head must have felt like and he was feeling very protective of his little brother. Guilt, he mused, it wasn't long ago that he wanted to inflict pain upon his brother himself … at this point, he felt he had done enough. He was by Bonnie's side in a flash and had her by her neck lifting her off the ground.

"Enough, you judgie little bitch! He was stopping you to save your life."

Finally composed … "Put her down, Damon … I'm fine. He glares at Bonnie and points at the chair with a stiff and assertive arm. Sit and listen to me, now!"

"I would do it if I were you, I mean how many balloons can you pop in both our brains at the same time, witch?"

Bonnie knew that all the spells in the world were no match for a Vampire in love and that's what was motivating Stefan at that moment. She knew that he wouldn't hurt her, she wasn't so sure about Damon. When Damon released her, she backed up into the chair and sat. Stefan kneeled next to her and reached for her hand.

"I'm sorry that I scared you like that, but if I had let you go, Katherine would have killed you both. You need to tell us what you saw so that we he glanced at Damon can help Matt."

Bonnie nodded, still frightened. "Okay, well … Katherine needs a Werewolf, I think her strength comes from drinking his blood. Since Damon killed hers this time, it was her turn to glance at Damon she needs another one. Tyler has to kill a human in order to become one. She has compelled Matt to start a fight with Tyler … a fight that Matt will not walk away from."

Stefan stood up from his kneeling position and started to pace … Bonnie thought he looked like a caged animal, desperate, scared, unpredictable and that scared her. They all remembered Stefan at his worst, but worst still, he didn't have Elena this time to bring him back. Katherine had won the battle … Stefan was preparing to win the war!

He stopped abruptly. "I know what her weakness is … we need to get our costumes for the masquerade ball, we're all going and you're bringing the moonstone."

Bonnie and Damon stood still and watched Stefan disappear in a flash up to the attic of the Boardinghouse.

"What just happened and what is her weakness?"

Damon poured himself a drink and sprawled out on the couch.

"I don't know … why don't you go ask him … I'll stay here and have a drink or two or five."

He motioned to the stairs.

Bonnie looked at Damon and then the steps … she found herself in a very precarious situation … in the company of two Vampires, both of whom were in love with her best friend. For some strange reason, she felt safe.
