For the past few days Kol had been tormenting me with these haunting nightmares. Most of the time, they ended with him shedding blood and me screaming in pleasure. Or pain. Depending on the day.

On a completely different note, Bonnie was still avoiding me like crazy. However, today, luck was on my side and I caught up with her before she could make it off the school campus. Got you now, Bonnie Bennett.

"Bonnie!" I called to her.

For a moment, she turned her head, a natural reaction for when someone hears their name being called. Then she kept walking like she didn't hear me, but I knew better. I ran in front of her and cut her off.

"Hey." I smiled. "I tried calling you. Didn't you hear me?"

She paused and looked back as if I was still back there calling her name.

"Oh, no. Sorry." Her apology was weak and her lie was obvious.

"I've been trying to talk to you for days now." I admitted to her.

"Oh sorry. I've just been busy." She lied.

I nodded. "Well, I was wondering if we could talk now. About your grams..."

"Now isn't a good time." She tried to move past me, but I stepped in her way.

"I know your grams was a witch and I was just wondering if you were too." I blurted out.

She looked at me in awe. "You know?"

"Yes, that's how my grams and yours met." I told her.

"Are you a witch as well?" Bonnie asked me.

"No. Neither was my grams. Her best friend was a witch and that's how my grams got involved with all this in the first place."

"Is that the witch who made that necklace for you?" Bonnie pointed to my necklace.

"Yes, but she originally made it for my grams." I said, touching the necklace. "She handed it down to me before she died."

"To protect her from the vampires." Bonnie said knowingly.

"Yes!" I exclaimed. "So you do know about vamps."

"And every other creature that goes bump in the night." She said.

"Listen, I was wondering if I could go talk to your grams. I'm having a bit of a vampire problem." I admitted.

"Sorry, but she's dead." Bonnie said bluntly.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't know. "I tired to process the information. "God, when did this happen?"

"A couple years now." She said. "But maybe I could help with your situation."

"Would you?" I asked, desperation clear in my voice.

"Of course." She nodded, smiling. "It's about Kol, right?"

"Yes. So you guys all know each other." I said.

"Yea. You should know something. We all; Elena, Stefan, Caroline, Matt, Tyler, Jeremy, and Damon, all know about the supernatural." She said.

"They do!" When I met all of them, (which happened between story lines), they all seemed so...out of the loop.

"And by the way. Caroline, Stefan, and Damon are vampires. Tyler is half werewolf and half vampire."

Whoa! They were vampires? And a hybrid, like Klaus? And she was friends with these freaks? She must of noticed my discomfort because she instantly started to explain the situation.

"Don't worry. They're the good guys." She assured me.

"Oh...ok." I nodded numbly. "So, about Kol..."

"Right. What has he been doing to you?" She asked.

"Well, mainly just stalking me and he..." I leaned in and whispered. "He gets in my head. Makes me...dream things."

"That necklace should protect you from his unwanted lately night visits." Bonnie pointed to my necklace.

"I know, but it hasn't been helping." Then it hit me. "Oh god. I'm an idiot."

"What is it?" She asked concerned.

"I take the necklace off at night." I said. "I thought that it didn't matter as long as it was close by..."

God, I felt so stupid.

She chuckled. "Problem solved. Just wear the necklace at night. And try to stay away from him. Have someone with you at all times."

"Right. The first thing they teach you in elementary school." I giggled. "Stranger danger."

She laughed. "Yea. I'll walk with you home today. Maybe Stefan could give you a ride home for now on."

"No, I don't want to bug him." I said.

"I'm sure he won't mind." She smiled and we headed off.
