"God I hate him. SO much!" Caroline said sitting roughly on the bed.
Bonnie was trying to pick a good dress which was proving to be really hard today.

"And he lied to me, everything is a plan and a scheme with him and urgh I hate him!" Caroline said with her hands in the air and with wide eyes.
Bonnie looked in the mirror, she wasn't happy with the red number and decided to change again, she wasn't ignoring Caroline altogether but she was getting tired of listening to how much Caroline hated Klaus. "He's Klaus… what were you expecting Caroline?" she asked picking a dark blue dress this time that had a nice view to her cleavage.

"And that's supposed to explain everything?" Caroline asked standing up again.
Bonnie sighed. "Why are we trying to explain his actions again? Klaus is a sociopath and he has no reasons behind his actions."

Caroline pursed her lips and leaned against the dressing table watching Bonnie finish getting ready. "So… I haven't been totally honest with you."
Bonnie didn't look at Caroline and kept her eyes on the mirror fixing her hair now.

Caroline shook her head with a deep sigh. "I can't stop thinking of what happened during that week."
Bonnie chuckled. "How stupid right? It's not like we had the best time there…"

"Are you feeling it as well?" Caroline asked quietly.
"That something is off, wrong? Missing…" Bonnie asked grabbing the sides of her neck.

Caroline nodded. "I can't even focus with Tyler. I'm always thinking that something went wrong, that we did something wrong because it feels strange not…"
Bonnie smiled. "Not having the two of them always around us, nagging and making our lives miserable?"

"Something like that… what happened between you and Kol?"
Bonnie stared at her high heels. "We kissed." she whispered.

Caroline couldn't bring herself to judge her. "I met human Klaus."
Bonnie looked at her stunned.

"And I met him more than once…" Caroline admitted. "I searched for him."
"I've seen a side of Kol that I wasn't expecting but Klaus said it was all a mission. He was supposed to keep me entertained and gain leverage to use on me later."

Caroline grimaced with her friend's sadness. "I'm sorry Bon…"
Bonnie shook her head slowly. "It's ok… I'm used to it… I suppose I'm not the happy ever… anything kind of girl."

Caroline didn't like the way she was talking. "Don't say that Bonnie."
"Honestly Care? As wrong as that was, when he was kissing me I was happy. I didn't have an awful mother that left and I wasn't thinking about my Gran or any of that. I was just a girl kissing a boy and liking it a lot."

"I understand Bonnie..."
"And Klaus?" Bonnie took her friend's hand sending her a warm energy.

"It's not like he took me to a dungeon and locked me inside either… his only torture method consisted of taking me to a foreign country and allowing me to sleep in the finest pair of sheets I have ever touched."
"We spent a week under a lot of pressure where we only had them to rely on"

Caroline pushed her high heel down on the wooden floor. "We were never in actual danger when they were around."
Bonnie smiled at her friend unable to explain how her mind was a mess as well.

"But I still hate Klaus and urgh… he's an ass and selfish and evil and I just hate him!" Caroline said quickly going for her purse.
Bonnie laughed following her friend to the party.

The two hybrids parted so that Klaus and Elijah could step inside, the older Original looked at Connor unable to move, trapped in this grotesque wooden device.
"Missing the Spanish Inquisition brother?" Elijah touched his suit.

"Those were the days…" Klaus said with a smile and pulled the knife out of the man's chest. Blood dripped from it and Elijah took a step behind so that it wouldn't taint his immaculate shoes.
Connor moaned and opened his eyes looking at Klaus. "Back so soon? I missed you."

Klaus smiled amused. "I know you did."
"Human?" Elijah asked looking at the man.

Connor turned his attention to Elijah and forced a smile through his pain. "Not your average kind though."
Elijah nodded. "Are you here for Rebekah?"

Connor smiled. "No... I'm here for you."
"Pleasure to meet you." Elijah said naturally and then added. "Who are the other five?"

"This time around? Only me..."
"You are a terrible liar..." Elijah said and took his jacket off.

Klaus handed him the knife. "Shall we go down the torture memory lane together?"
Elijah sighed. "Just try not to be so messy."

Klaus pouted. "I'm not messy..."
"You tend to over dramatize and open your arms theatrically and this suit was just tailored last week."

Klaus rolled his eyes. "Have it your way then brother, I'll ask the questions and you handle the blade."
"Thank you Niklaus." Elijah smiled pleased while Connor watched them both with confusion.

Bonnie glared Caroline, they stood in the middle of the living room inside the Lockwood mansion, the party was rather big. "Why have I allowed you to bring me along for this?"
Caroline gave her a perfect smile. "It's the casual kickoff before the official beginning to the Miss Mystic Falls pageant ceremonies."

"Why did you bring me along?" Bonnie gave her a warm smile.
"I needed the company." Caroline tried to get around the judging look from her friend.

"This is the house where your boyfriend lives. Where is he by the way?"
Caroline looked away from the serious look Bonnie was casting her now. "Things are a bit shaky at the moment… he wants… more than I'm giving him since we got back."

Bonnie's serious ways changed, she was worried. "Does this have anything to do with… you know?"
Caroline pulled her head back appalled. "No, I hate him remember?"

Bonnie's forehead became dense. "But you and Tyler haven't had… anything at all?"
"Post traumatic stress. That's what's wrong with me… he starts undressing me and all I can think about is that awful smelly dress that Klaus made me wear and I freeze… me Caroline Forbes can't get in the mood."

Bonnie knew Caroline was going to stress how much she hated Klaus again so she grabbed a drink, she really wanted to give Caroline her full attention but a girl from her school just walked in with her date. And the girl was beaming with joy because the man by her side was none other than Kol Mikaelson.
Unlike Caroline she wasn't able to say how much she hated Kol because right now all that Bonnie felt, was jealousy.

"We need to find a way to get to that hunter and free him." Hayley said.
Tyler didn't agree and shook his head. "He was after Elena before Gavin and the other hybrid caught him."

Hayley took a deep breath. "I'm sorry about your friend but that hunter is here for a reason, he is after one of the Originals, hopefully Klaus."
Tyler laughed. "A lot of good that would do to us."

"I know that we can't kill him but we can keep him busy enough to free as many hybrids as we can." she said smiling lovingly at him and moving closer, she rested her hand on his chest. Tyler didn't fight her touch which made her change her smile into a flirty one. "Are you going to let me out of this room and introduce me to everyone?"

"You can start with me." Caroline said from the door.

The two of them pulled away immediately and Tyler became nervous. "Caroline…"
"Yes?" she stepped inside the room. "Who is your close friend?"

"This is Hayley… I met her when I went away to break my sire bond and we became friends…"
Caroline eyed the girl carefully. "Friends? Was that before or after you both got naked on some mountain?"

Hayley smiled and waved her finger in the air. "I don't do teen drama."
She tried to get around Caroline and out the door but Caroline cut her way piercing her with her blue eyes.

Hayley confronted her. "So this is how you want to do it? Don't get all jealous, nothing happened between Tyler and I."
"Is that why he's hiding you in this house?"

"Caroline stop it." Tyler snapped at her.
She shot her eyes at him now. "You don't tell me what to do Tyler and it would have been nice if I knew that you brought a wolf back with you from the mountains."

Hayley looked at Tyler waiting for his defense but it was obvious he was worried about upsetting the blonde doll. Hayley pushed her way out again but Caroline took a step blocking her.
"Caroline!"Tyler warned her with anger in his voice.

She stepped aside to let the annoying girl out and faced her boyfriend. "All that time worrying about you and you were all busy making new friends."
Tyler smiled with a warm touch to it. "I find it so cute that you get all jealous."

Caroline pressed her lips together. "Believe me Tyler… it's rage not jealousy."
"Nothing happened between Hayley and I, she just helped me along with her pack. I found them and they helped me break the sire bond to Klaus… she saved my life Caroline."

Caroline looked down on the ground, rage turned into pain; he was speaking like she never did anything for him. "I was there with you from day one, since you found out you were a werewolf."

"And I thank you for it but Hayley is helping other werewolves as well... helping as many as she can, to break away from Klaus." he said sweetly.
"And you have this girl inside your house? Klaus can kill you if he finds out you are helping Braveheart girl."

Tyler chuckled. "Klaus won't do a thing... we have leverage over him." he smiled cunningly at her.
"Are you... pimping me?" she asked appalled and raising her hands in the air to stop his sickening talk.

"I didn't mean it like that Caroline..."
"I have enough with Damon and Stefan, I don't need my boyfriend to use me as distraction towards another man. One who you should not underestimate." she turned on her heels and left him behind.

Tyler didn't follow her.

Bonnie sulked into her drink, Kol was laughing easily at something his date said. Bonnie tried to look away but she kept going back to them, she kept looking at them and started to hate that he never once glanced over to her.
A man stepped in front of her with a smile. "So we meet again."

Bonnie gave him a small annoyed smile. "Who invited you?"
"Jeremy but I can't seem to find him anywhere."

Bonnie was intrigued. "Why would he invite you to a silly small town party?"
"I'm taking the open vacancy at Mystic Falls High, you are looking at the new history teacher."

Bonnie grimaced with the news and instant reminder that one of them had turned against the group not long ago. "Who trades a University job for a small town high school one?"
"My book didn't sell as well as I hoped and the University is cutting back, I'm unfortunately among those whose classes and ability are expendable."

"What do you teach exactly?"
"Witchcraft history and folklore. Urban legend or real? All the way from Salem?" he asked like he was in class.

"I wouldn't know…" Bonnie said serious and slowly looked at where she had seen Kol but he and his date were gone and she wanted to slap herself for even wishing he was by her side.
"So you don't know anything about witchcraft and spells?"

"Not enough to be burned at the stick." she smiled and finished her drink.
Shane bowed his head slowly as she left and then took his drink with a smile.

Bonnie grabbed another drink on the way and decided it was a great time to check the Lockwood garden and was at least happy that it was less crowded giving her room to breathe. She walked around a little, finding an empty bench that she occupied.
Bonnie was lost among her thoughts of hazel eyes and wild hair when a voice spoke next to her.

"Is this seat taken?"
She tried hard not to gulp down loudly. "Yes."

The man smiled and sat next to her. "Lying is such a nasty habit."
Bonnie looked around but they were all alone where he could easily kill her, if that's what he was here to do. "What do you want?" she asked him bluntly, she wasn't a woman to waste any precious time.

Shane grabbed her arm out of nowhere and she reacted by grabbing his hand in return to remove it from her skin when a flash of images came before her eyes. Five men gathered around in a circle on the woods and a witch mumbling words to a spell she didn't know. Bonnie shook her head, he looked at her intrigued.

"Let go of my arm." she whispered.
His hold was stronger instead. "What did you see?"

She forced herself free but he wasn't letting her go and she dropped her glass roughly to the ground. "Let go of me." She insisted.
Shane released her arm but Bonnie was scared for the first time all night, he looked dangerous and crazy which was an awful combination.

"Your Grandmother sacrificed a lot for this town."
Bonnie gave him a look and stood up. "Where are you going with that?"

"I won't allow you to stain her memory."
Bonnie couldn't hold back the laughter that came out. "I have no idea who you are and what you want with me but this conversation is over."

Shane followed her and tried to grab her arm again, Bonnie constricted her eyes and Shane felt a sudden pain in his head. He stopped his motions hastily. "How did you know that your magic would work on me? I'm not a vampire."

"I didn't but I advise you to stop testing what I can do with my powers. You aren't entirely human either." she said sternly before rushing away.

She was still a bit shaken when she reached the house but tried to keep it together, she needed to find Caroline and tell her that she was leaving. She felt another hold on her arm but she knew this one well. "What do you want Kol?" she asked freeing her arm once they stepped inside one of the empty rooms.

"What are you doing?" he asked her and she found it funny that he sounded mad.
"Trying to find Caroline…"

Kol looked at her serious.
"What?" she asked him without a clue.

"You showed Shane that you could perform magic?" he asked without a smile which wasn't typical in him.
It made her smile though. "He would find out either way, this way at least he knows he shouldn't mess with me."

"That was incredibly stupid of you." he said and left the room.
Bonnie slumped in her good shoes. "Well, thank you Kol..." she shouted but he was gone "… for another outstanding compliment." she mumbled.

Caroline rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth upset that he was here, of course he would be at The Grill on the one night she needed a strong drink. She couldn't handle Klaus right now and left as fast as she came inside.
"Caroline?"

She shook her head without looking back, seriously?
Klaus rushed across the street without any cars trying to hit him this time and he easily reached her. "Come on love, you don't really want to ignore me." he teased her with a smile.

"You are so delusional Klaus." she said strutting away.
Klaus smirked and sat on the bench, he crossed his leg casually. "I think you might reconsider your words sweetheart."

"And why would I?"
"Because I have this…" his words should make her flash away but curiosity got the best of her and she turned around.

He was smugly holding a bottle of Vodka. "If you don't go to the drink, the drink comes to you."
Caroline looked away annoyed. "I don't want it."

"So you came to The Grill just to see me… I'm flattered sweetheart."
She raised her perfect eyebrow. "I hate you!" she said the words that had lived in her lips all day.

"No you don't." he easily said.
She was appalled. "Yes I do!"

Klaus chuckled with her determination. "You might be mad at me but you don't hate me."
Caroline folded her arms in a true statement while Klaus opened the bottle and waved it. "One drink Caroline."

"You lied to me… why I should even consider it?"
"You compelled me as a human… let's call it even." he shrugged.

Caroline couldn't believe how easily he was taking this. "Well I'm sorry to hurt your big Alpha ego…" she clicked her teeth mad. "Wolves and their big…" she ate the rest of her angry words.
Klaus was somewhat serious, trying to keep his smile tamed. "Trouble in small town boy paradise?"

Caroline shot sharp daggers with her eyes. "Try not to gloat so much Klaus."
He smiled but it wasn't of happiness, he just didn't get what the girl saw in that pathetic kid. "What did the brave Tyler do this time?" he danced around the little stunt of breaking his sire bond.

"None of your business." Caroline huffed but unexpectedly took the empty space next to him.
"Can I buy you a drink to ease the nasty teen angst?" he teased her.

Caroline was doubly upset that he sounded like Hayley. "I'm not buying for this." she said mad and took the bottle from his hand.
It made him smile that he was able to bring that fire out of her.

"Have you finally left him?" Klaus asked without a shred of shame.
She faced him with the bottle half way to her mouth. "Unbelievable Klaus…"

He gave his shoulders a casual movement. "You were very upset at me and you weren't talking to me at all, I assume you apply the same standards to him..."

Caroline chuckled with the drink filling her mouth and covered it with the back of her hand. "Tyler is my boyfriend, you are the town's resident evil Klaus."
The comment made him smile. "Each one its own I suppose."

She shook those perfect golden locks of hers and looked away but she wasn't laughing anymore and Klaus wasn't smiling, he picked up easily on the change of mood.
"What happens… when a bunch of wolves get together?" she faced him honestly looking for an answer.

"Do you mean as a pack?" Klaus wasn't sure what she was asking him.
She huffed. "In the woods Klaus, when a bunch of you get together? Like…" she opened her arms.

Klaus pursed his lips and frowned still not sure.
"Is it like a wild nature… thing?" she was truly exasperated that he wasn't getting where she was going with this.

Klaus smiled and looked away; he started laughing which left her apprehensive. "Out there where we are free and no one can judge us, adrenaline runs high and inhibitions run low…" he stopped and looked at her.
Caroline clutched the bottle. "Go on… don't stop now."

Klaus licked his lips slowly. "Caroline, what happened?"
She smiled in a sad bitter way. "What always happens… I'm never enough." Caroline looked away from him. "He says nothing happened but I've been here too many times… I deserve that he at least doesn't treat me like an idiot."

Klaus pressed his teeth together mad. "You know… if he was still under my sire I wouldn't have allowed him to cheat on you…"
She looked at him surprised and then she tilted her head. "You sent him to kill me."

Klaus smiled like a little kid caught in the act. "I set him to bite you, very different action."
An expected laughter came from her and she handed him the bottle. "You actually believe there's a difference which is pretty incredible."

"There is a difference." he was serious.
"Klaus… you have tried to kill me twice already."

He reacted to her smile, she was actually smiling at him without any effort even now as they spoke of his questionable actions. "The first time I didn't know you and the second…" he took the bottle into his mouth, looking at her as his lips graced the same spot hers had before. He loved that her sweet taste was still there and that he got to somehow experience it with his own lips now. "… the second time around I believe you were lost and waiting for me to find you?" he carried on slowly with malice in his lips and voice.

Caroline was upset. "Stop using that against me."
It was Klaus' turn to be mad. "I never used you Caroline and I never will."

"No?" she asked and didn't realize she came near his face. "Taking me with you to the past and Portugal? What was the point in that?"
Klaus faltered and she smiled.

He chuckled and pulled away from her, Caroline was self-conscious of how close she had been to his face and reacted by taking the bottle from his hand. She cleaned it before drinking and the action made Klaus smile even more. "You are different when you are alone with me Caroline."

She scolded his words. "Keep dreaming Hybrid King."

The words made him squint and she took a large sip from the drink, she was just like a train wreck, one stupid comment after the other.
"Well… my beautiful Vampire Queen, I'm happy you agree."

Caroline looked at him and hesitated for a second, then she shook her head and looked across the street. "I really hate you…" she took a deep breath. "I hate everyone… I'm tired of everyone and everything."
Klaus reached out and cupped her chin and made her look at him, she didn't fight him though she was surprised by his doings. "If I wanted you dead, you would be." he said serious.

Caroline scanned his attractive face. "You really have no clue how to do this, you think by telling me that, you are actually being romantic."
"Do you wish for me to be romantic Caroline?" he asked and his thumb trailed the softness of her skin.

"You are incapable of it." she whispered.
He smiled. "My sweet Caroline you have no idea what I'm capable of."

She looked down from his eyes that she found too blue and intense, honest like the human that made her feel something. "I know enough Klaus and even if I know that it all comes from this horrible past you had… I can't…" she didn't finish and shook his hand away.

Caroline got up fast and walked away but it only took Klaus a second to react, he flashed and stopped her.
Klaus tilted his head. "What are you implying Caroline?"

"Goodnight Klaus." she simply said and walked away.
Klaus was confused but strangely excited, was he slowly making way inside the blonde beauty and her high walls?

Bonnie was really upset now; Caroline bailed on the party, creepy Shane found out she could use magic and Kol was getting really cozy with his date by the time she left the mansion. The best part was that she was walking home now, Caroline had the car and completely forgot about Bonnie back at the party that she forced her to go to.
And her house was still an hour away, Bonnie crossed her arms upset, how hard was to find a ride home in a party where she knew everyone? Apparently very hard.

She stopped suddenly; she felt a drop of water on her face and cleaned it away, she felt another and looked up at the sky, really? Oh, amazing! It was starting to rain and she was walking home.
She resumed on her way, trying to be quick about it when a car slowed down next to her. She gave the car a side look, rolling her eyes when she saw the driver.

"Do you need a ride home?" he asked in that slow velvet voice of his.
"Nope." She said determined and without a chance to be refuted.

"Don't be like that Bonnie." Kol said with a smile and driving slowly next to the girl who tried to hurry in high heels.
"Go away Kol." she said facing the road only.

"Only if you agree to let me drive you home." he said with an amused smile.
"No thanks." she said hating that it started to rain harder.

"Get inside Bonnie." he stopped the car and said a bit more serious now.
She ignored him and kept walking.

"Unless you intend to do a spell to stop the rain." he looked outside his window.
It started to rain really bad now and Bonnie stopped to face him furious. "How about one to make you disappear?"

Kol laughed. "Just get inside before I get tired and drive away."
"Please do." She pressed her lips upset.

"You are getting soaking wet Bonnie… I love the view but…" He teased her.
Bonnie straighten her short dress that was glued to her body, she knew the rain was showing her underwear under the wet dress and looked around, there were no cars or people around.

"Where's your date?" she asked folding her arms, at least covering herself a bit.
Kol motioned his hand over the wheel. "Left her at the party, she already served her purpose."

Bonnie's face showed how disgusted she was. "Spare me Kol…"
He was amused that she was taking things that way. "I saw Shane taking pictures with his cellphone, for now she will keep him busy."

Bonnie reacted by getting inside the car fast. "You doomed the poor girl?"
"Better her than anyone else."

Bonnie looked away from him; her heart racing, she could be included in his anyone list.
Kol drove slowly to pouring rain outside. "I highly doubt we have all been marked but in case we have…"

"I shouldn't be in here then…" Bonnie said quietly.
Kol didn't say anything; he clutched the wheel instead.

"Where are you taking me?" she asked him when he turned left instead of right.
Kol was silent for the rest of the ride and she finally recognized the driveway that led to his mansion. He came around the car and opened her door, Bonnie was suspicious but stepped outside. She followed him inside house and stopped on the hall by one of the doors.

"Stay here." he said and disappeared inside one of the rooms.
Bonnie looked around, a few decoration pieces were broken and she found the new decoration strange.

"I need your help." Kol told Rebekah that was lying in bed going through a fashion magazine.
She gave him a look and dangled her feet in the air. "What do I get in return?"

"My eternal love." he answered annoyed.
She smiled without meaning it and changed the page of her magazine. "Go bother Elijah. He's back."

"I need your help not Mr I'm too sexy for my suit."
Rebekah twirled a blonde lock around her finger. "Do you need help changing all the mirrors in your room again?"

"I need to steal something from Nik."
Rebekah laughed. "Funny… I almost believed you there." she was still laughing when she focused on her magazine again. She slowly looked at him again when he stood there serious and looking at her, Rebekah jolted and sat straight. "You are serious."

"I need to get inside his precious art room."
Rebekah stood up. "Why?"

"Fewer questions more help Bekah. I need to steal something he stole from someone who probably stole from another… I lose track." he was getting impatient.

Bonnie turned around looking at the two Originals stepping outside the room, Rebekah wasn't too happy to see her but quickly made her way to where Kol needed her.

Kol pointed at Bonnie. "Stay here." he simply said and left after his sister.
Bonnie was stranded there with open arms and fuming.

"Nik will be raging if he finds out…" Rebekah said kneeling down by the big safe inside the art room.
Kol looked around the expensive art. Nik the Artist… huge dick when he wanted but an artist nonetheless. Rebekah entered the code Klaus thought no one knew and opened the safe.

She handed Kol the box he wanted. "If he ever finds out, I will say that you forced me."
"He will never believe you but thank you." he took the box and checked the inside.

Rebekah took an old, rusty notepad and carefully opened it, afraid of damaging the priceless images inside. It was Klaus' most prized possession, the drawings he made of Henrik when he was still alive. Rebekah smiled with tears dancing in her eyes stroking the angelic face before her eyes.
"I spent his last day with him, when we went back…" Kol said slowly.

Rebekah outlined the sweet smiling face before her eyes. "I think we all died with him that night… all that it was worth saving at least, it all died with Henrik."
Kol took the item from inside the box and handed it to Rebekah, she might be right but he wasn't ready to give up just yet.

Bonnie was starting to feel cold and rubbed her arms; she was ready to give up, steal Kol's car and go home.
"A beautiful woman left alone like this in our home… who committed such a crime?"

The warm deep voice made her smile. "Elijah…"
"Bonnie…" he said nodding and taking his jacket off, he covered her immediately and she reacted by fixing her hair that surely looked like a mess.

He offered his arm to her. "Perhaps I can offer something warm, you are soaking from the rain."
"Shouldn't you be threatening me and stuff?"

Elijah laughed. "You have done nothing to me Bonnie, how could I ever threaten a beautiful girl with such talent as you? I heard that you possess the gift of magic and that you are quite good at it."
Bonnie blushed and pulled his jacket closer; he smelled nice, a little more discrete than Kol's raw scent, more elegant and soothing like he was.

"I'm not that good but my Gran…" she looked at him waiting for answers.
"Would you have coffee with me tomorrow Bonnie? I would love to answer all of your inquiries."

"I expected tea…" she teased him.
Elijah smiled. "I'm willing to bend a few rules for you."
Bonnie laughed softly and nodded. "Tomorrow then."

"Whenever you both are done making date plans…" Kol stood there watching them.
Elijah smiled at Bonnie and left, he smiled at Kol as well that stabbed him with his hazel eyes as a response.

"I'm taking you home now." he said and turned around.
Bonnie followed him but kept the jacket, she was getting really cold.

"Kol?" she asked as they reached the front door but it didn't stop him.
She closed the door to the car roughly. "Why are you always so hostile?"

He denied it with his head. "I'm not hostile."
"You keep dragging me around, pulling me by the arm and talking to me like I'm a dog. Stay, walk, run."

"I'm sorry darling… was I supposed to be nice to you?"
Bonnie was done. "Take me home."

"If you insist." he smiled acidly and drove away.

Bonnie took the jacket off mad and left it in the passenger seat, slamming the door of the car as they reached her house. She was out of her mind when she thought she had some sort of connection with Kol and searched for her house key fast.

"I was in Romania when they came for me…"
She stopped the key from turning completely and listened to him.

"I had no idea what was going on and that they had tried to kill Rebekah and forged daggers that could harm us. They took me down and killed everyone in that village, they left a girl for last and pulled the dagger so I could watch her die. They are ruthless Bonnie and they don't stop until they kill everyone they find unworthy in their eyes."

Bonnie was shaking as she turned to face him, he was standing very close to her.
"Nik had a talisman made centuries ago, after his torment ended and it's suppose to keep the hallucinations away, I have no idea how it works, I don't speak witch."

Bonnie felt the cold of it on her chest, she looked down on the long silver necklace with a beautiful ancient emerald talisman. "Hallucinations?" Bonnie asked quietly.
"When you kill one of the Five hunters they torment you with hallucinations, claiming their last hunt. They will drive you into insanity, for eternity if necessary until the next hunter is awakened." he lingered his hands a little more on her neck.

"Turns out you knew a lot Kol…" she reminded him.
"Turns out you will be the first one they will go after when they come for me." he said stroking her cheek now. "And I need you to fight them hard when they do."

The words left her shaken but she nodded.
Kol looked at her lips, touched them with his thumb and then smiled. "Be gentle on my brother, he hasn't been around women much."

She touched his chest, the shirt was wet from the rain and she loved that it defined his every line so well, she could only imagine how good he looked naked. "Aren't you afraid that I fall for his sweet chivalrous ways?" she asked slowly and felt his hand going to her back, she gasped when he pressed her to him.

"I'm not afraid of anything darling." he said and kissed her.
He pressed his hand harder to her back and kept her close to him. Bonnie answered his demanding lips and lost her fingers in his hair; wrong, bad or just plain sin, she didn't care, she loved kissing him. His hand came to her neck and stroked the skin there, his lips were sweet and warm and the softness of them against hers left her dizzy.

His tongue left a smoothness on her lips as well and then made way inside again, dancing a forbidden sweet dance that had her moaning against his body.

"Here… you should have this." Stefan said handing Elena some strong scotch.
She shook her head. "I hate this… I got carried away with Matt… I really hurt him Stefan." tears started to roll down her cheeks.

"He's going to be ok… Damon took him home and he had some blood."
"I nearly tore his neck apart and all this guilt…" she barely allowed words to come out between her tears.

"We will find a way Elena…" Stefan said not really believing it.
"I can't do this Stefan…" she broke down.

"Yes you can… you can and you will do this because you are the strongest girl I have ever met and I'm here with you and I will help you in everything."
She smiled a little through her tears. "I just want my life back."

"I know Elena… I'm sorry I failed you." he said finding the pain ripping through him as well.
There was a knock interrupting their little moment and he was surprised to find a smiling beautiful girl at his door.

"Hi." she said cheerfully.
"Who are you?" Stefan asked confused with the visitor.

"Hayley, and I am looking for Damon."
Elena came to the door. "What do you want with him?"

Hayley noticed the slight jealous tone and wanted to scream, was anyone in this town single and not interest in someone else? "I need an ally and I was told he was just crazy enough to do it."
"Do what?" Damon asked arriving to the porch of Elena's house.

Hayley faced the vampire with a happy smile, well that was one stunning man. "Help me free the hunter that Klaus caught."
Damon looked at Stefan. His brother shook his head, he had no idea what was going on.

"And why would I do that?" Damon asked her with a smile.
"Because I can stop him from killing Elena and going for the ones that really matter. Rebekah and Elijah."
