"I don't think I can go through with this," Bonnie said to Damon as they returned to the boarding house once the meeting had come to an end. They had been rather pleased with how the whole thing turned out (even if nothing was settled). But Bonnie was having second thoughts about the plan Damon and Stefan had concocted. Bonnie would do anything to ensure the safety of those she cares about but was playing with someone's feelings (even a dead someone) something she would really do?

"Can you think of another way to get his help?" Damon questioned her. "And besides, he is a vampire, Bonnie. Just think of all the terrible things that he's done in his lifetime. He probably deserves this."

"A little rich coming from you don't you think? Would you really want someone to use your feelings for them to their advantage get what they want?"

"I got two words for you, Elena and Katherine," he replied and raised a finger with each name.

Bonnie sent Damon a sad smile, "Exactly. They made you feel like crap, Damon. I don't know if I could do that to someone."

"Look, Bonnie, I'll admit that I have done some pretty shitty things in my life but I would say that I am most likely a saint compared to Kol," he tried to reason with her. Their whole plan rested with her and if she felt she couldn't do this then it was all over she had to believe she could. "And what's the big deal? You can try to kill Klaus or any other vampire but you feel that messing with their feelings is crossing the line?"

Bonnie looked down at her feet, there were so many feelings and thoughts running through her right now. There was no doubt in her mind that she wanted to take down the Originals, especially Klaus, but she wasn't going to do this as Bonnie the witch, but rather Bonnie the girl and this is something that the latter would not do.

"I know you don't want to do this, and I don't particularly want you to but we need you to," Damon said as Bonnie lifted her head to look at him. "This could be it! We can end the Originals and get on with our lives." He said with his usual crazy eye movements that Bonnie found kind of quirky but it suited him.

"I realize all this, Damon, I really do but that doesn't change how I feel about."

"We're not asking you to like it, we're asking you to do it," Stefan said as he came striding into the house and stopped in front of her. "Kol is Klaus' brother, he will eventually side with Klaus and they will destroy us. We've got this chance to get the upper hand, let's take it."

"And from the little scene I witnessed today, I'd say that shouldn't be too hard," Damon said and jabbed Bonnie playfully in the ribs with his elbow. "I thought he was going to rip your clothes off and go at it right there on the table," he said and received a slap to the chest from the witch.

Bonnie stared at the two vampires that stood before her, "are you positive that this is going to work?"

"I'd say about eighty-five percent positive," Stefan answered with a casual shrug of his shoulders, earning him a glare from his older brother.

"It'll work." Damon reassured his witch friend, who was already regretting the part she was going to play in this charade.

"What is to stop us from removing the dagger from Rebekah right now?" Kol questioned his older brother as he stared at the coffin containing his younger sister.

"We will, brother, just be patient," Elijah replied and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Though Kol and Rebekah argued like no others, they were very close and they missed each other dearly when they were separated for long periods of time.

"Nik is hiding something from us," Kol noted, "Rebekah is quite capable of handling herself, and she doesn't need to be kept safe in a coffin."

"I see you took what Bonnie had to say in to consideration," Elijah smiled, recalling the young witch's words from the meeting.

"It's kind of funny that you keep Rebekah in her coffin for her own safety, yet she is an Original. There is nothing that can kill you...unless you have her in there for another reason..."

Elijah enjoyed watching his brother nearly fume when Bonnie had brought up the subject of Rebekah and his reaction had confirmed his suspicions about Klaus' motives.

"She made a valid point," he replied and turned away from the coffin.

"We'll have her back soon, Kol, just be patient," Elijah reassured his younger brother. Elijah planned to bring his only sister back into the world; he just had to wait for the right moment. He'd have his family back together eventually and when the time came, Klaus would not be a part of it.

The next day Bonnie was back at the Mystic Grill but this time it was with her two best friends, Elena and Caroline. She and Elena had somewhat made up after their little spat the other day (courtesy of Caroline) but there was still some tension in the air between the two girls.

It had been a rather stressful day at school for the three so they decided to grab an early dinner before having to get started on a group project that were handed out today and although they tried to keep anything supernatural out of the equation, it didn't take Elena long to bring up the sealed coffin.

"How are you and Lucy going with opening the coffin?" She asked and Bonnie looked up from her book. Bonnie had contacted Lucy not too long ago, in fact it was after one of her recurring dreams of Klaus and the coffin only this time she was the one in the coffin and Lucy opened it. She could only assume that Lucy was meant to help her open it. It wasn't easy trying to find Lucy, it's not like she gave her a phone number or address, just left her with a "you'll see me again,' but Bonnie eventually managed to track her cousin down (with help from Damon and his compulsion power) and Lucy was more than happy to help.

"I thought we agreed on nothing supernatural tonight," Bonnie responded with a disapproving look.

"Exactly, nothing supernatural tonight, just normal, boring homework," Caroline sided with her witch friend.

"Fine!" Elena gave up and Caroline and Bonnie shared a look of victory.

They went back to their homework but it wasn't long before Elena spoke up again, "No one told me Elijah was un-daggered," she said as started towards the entrance with bewilderment. Bonnie and Caroline turned in their seats and saw Elijah, Kol and Finn walking in.

"So much for nothing supernatural tonight," Bonnie mumbled, turning back in her seat.

"Why can we never just have a simple, supernatural free night?" Caroline questioned with an annoyed expression on her face.

"Who's behind him?" Elena asked.

"They're his brothers, Finn and Kol," as soon as she spoke his name, Kol turned to look at her with that devastatingly attracting smile upon his face.

"And you know that how?" The blonde questioned with a raised brow. Bonnie contemplated about telling her two friends that he had been the man that had been appearing in her dreams but decided against it. If she did tell them, she knew that Caroline would certainly be able to piece everything together once Bonnie started to get close with Kol.

"Klaus paid me a visit the other day, brought Kol with him," she explained to her friends and was immediately met with worried expressions and a chorus of 'are you alright?' and 'did he do anything to you?'

"I'm fine, he just wanted to arrange a meeting," She smiled at her friends concern and reassured them till they calmed down.

"What meeting?" Elena all but demanded. Bonnie rolled her eyes, Elena really did not like to be left out of things even when they did not particularly concern her.

"He wants his coffin back. He made a few deals but we didn't accept them," Bonnie explained to Elena. "And that is all you're getting tonight, 'Lena. The only thing we are going to be discussing tonight is history," she waved her history book in front of Elena's face to emphasize her point.

For the rest of the evening they had successfully managed to avoid everything supernatural and ignore the three Original vampires who were drinking at the bar.

Bonnie exited the grill an hour and a half later, Caroline had been called home by her mother ten minutes earlier and Elena had decided to see if Elijah was open to any more deals and assured the witch that she wasn't needed. The only reason Bonnie agreed was because of the soft spot she knew Elijah had for her doppelganger friend. The young girl rummaged through her bag for her car keys and nearly jumped out of her skin when someone approached her from behind. She steadied her breathing and turned around. It was Kol.

"I apologise, I didn't mean to startle you," he said with a playful grin. "I just wanted to properly introduce myself; I don't believe we have ever had the chance to get well acquainted." Bonnie nearly swooned at the sound of his voice; she found that it suited him well.

"I don't really associate myself with vampires," she replied, her voice sharp. Damon told her that she had to (for lack of a better term) play hard to get and act uninterested. Klaus would know that something was strange if Bonnie automatically changed her views towards vampires.

"You associate yourself with the Salvatore's and that blonde friend of yours," he countered and took a step towards her and lowered his voice to a deliciously low tone. "Why not add one more to the list?"

"Caroline has been my friend since birth, and I work with the Salvatore's to keep Elena safe," she replied.

"You didn't answer my question, beautiful," he noted, that devilish smirk making its regular appearance.

Bonnie smiled sweetly at him before replying, "My list is full. Three is enough for me."

"Well, we'll just have to change that won't we?"

"Good luck with that," she replied and started to move away from him.

Kol watched as she made her way to her car, a devious smile upon his face. As far as he was concerned she had just declared a challenge, and he was never one to turn down a challenge.

It had been a few days since Bonnie had last seen Kol and she was a little worried that she may have completely ruined Damon and Stefan's plan and she really didn't want to deal with them if that were the case.

She was currently at the Mystic Falls library to get some books for her history report that Alaric had assigned to her to help pick up her grades. He'd been handed out assignments left, right and centre lately. She let out a small groan of frustration when the book she was looking for was located on the very top shelf and set atop of a couple of other books, just out of her reach. The young girl stood on her toes and stretched as far as she could. So close, yet so far, she thought and pouted.

Bonnie stilled her movements when she felt the change in the atmosphere. She could feel the presence behind her, making the hair on the back of her neck stand up. He was here…She obviously hadn't ruined the plan.

"Which one are you after, beautiful?" he said lowly into her ear, the sensation of his warm breath on her ear sending a violent shudder throughout her body.

The younger girl took a moment to compose herself before she spoke, "I've got it," she said and with a quick glance around her immediate area, she used her powers to make the book come flying off the shelf and into her waiting hands and then she turned and looked up at the vampire, "see," she waved the book in the air a little, "all under control."

"Now that is just cheating," he commented with a smile.

"I don't play fair with vampires," she replied with a bright smile.

"So I've heard. My brother informed me of your prejudices against vampires," he said and leant against one of the bookshelves. "Might I ask why?"

"It's more of a personal reason then a witch related reason," she answered briefly.

"Would you still feel the same if vampires had not been involved with this personal matter?" Kol questioned.

Bonnie pondered his question for a moment. He brought up a good question. Would she still feel the same if they hadn't taken away the only person who every really cared about her? Or would her duties as a witch keep her judgement of vampires the same?

"I think as a witch I'll always have these issues with vampires but with what happened, it made everything all the more personal," she answered honestly.

Kol stared at her for a quick minute, trying to figure out the girl in front of him. The complexity of women sure hadn't changed since he'd been 'dead'. "Well if the need arises, I'd be more than happy to help change your views on vampires," he said lowly and moved closer to her.

"Really?" Bonnie asked and tilted her head slightly.

"Absolutely," he drawled out.

"And how exactly would you go about that?" she asked, feigning curiosity.

"You'll just have to wait and find out," he answered her, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

Oh he was going to enjoy this…

Sorry for the wait. I'm not particularly pleased with this chapter, it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to… As you can probably tell, I've replaced Abby with Lucy in this story. I'm kind of disappointed with how Abby turned out in the show so I brought Lucy in instead. Thank you all for your reviews/alerts/faves!

The Kennett scenes will start to really pick up in the next chapter ;)
