As the car raced down the motorway I turned in my seat to look at Kol, with so many questions in my head I decided to break the somewhat uncomfortable silence that had descended over the car.

Sensing my eyes on him and hearing me move in my seat he turned his head to look at me.

'Yes?' He asked clearly wondering why I'd only chose to break the silence after 2 hours in the car rather than immediatly as we left the house.

'Well...'I started, thinking about what to ask him first, biting my lip as I thought. 'I was thinking, where are we going? And what's the story with Anna?'

Starting with the most obvious, I reasoned, was probably the best idea. As it happens, I turned out to be right.

'We are going away, out of th town for a while, I think I should show you something.'

I rolled my eyes. 'We're going out of Mystic falls? really? no shit, I never guessed! I crsed at him, annoyed that he was being so vague.

'Don't use that tone with me please Bonnie, I assure you it's not a clever idea when I haven't eaten in a while.' Kol's eyes darkened as he said this and I instantly shut up, if the whole vampire myths had any truth around them and Kol fed on what I thought he did, then I would probably be dead if I pushed him to far, I really needed to start practising the whole witchcraft thing, it might pay off in the forseeable future.

An hour later, my eye lids started to get heavy so I left the world behind and dreamed I was back home with Lexi, Elena and Caroline. Before I'd met Anna or even Kol.

I woke up and realised we had stopped. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and looked around, we were at a petrol station, Kol had probably just gone off to pay before we left again. I noticed that the window on his side of the car was open a bit at the top, just to lt new air in rather than becoming stuffy I guessed.

Without being able to see Kol anywhere in sight, I took in the interior of the car for the first time, it was average sized for a mini, adjusting my position in the car I turned to see the backseat behind me, not so much as a hair in there. It was immaculate. Completely and utterly unlike what I thought Kol's car would look like.

I turned around and rummaged around for a CD to put in to the car stereo system but found none. I sighed, this was obviously going to be a boring road tri to wherever he was taking me. Wait. Was't this kidnapping? I mean my Dad was away on a busness trip at the moment but still, wasn't it going to be obvious to my friends? Lexi was staying at mine so wouldn't she wonder? Actually on second thoughts, she be more likely to just go through my stuff instead, it was a typical Lexi Brandson trait after all.

I giggled at the thought of her going through my clothes and finding that bright organge jacket I had brought for Carol Lockwood's fancy dress party and me and the others had all gone as hippies.

'What's so funny?' Kol's voice came out of nowhere and my head suddenly whipped around to find him shutting his door of the car, I had been to caught up in my thoughts to notice.

'JUst thinking about something.' I mumbled, 'So far away is this place we're going?' I asked casually, wanting to get out of the close proximity to him.

'About 5 mintues if my brothers directions are accurate.' Kol answered me, he turned in the seat to look at me.

'Why are you so against me Bonnie?' He asked, I think I detected a slight trail of hurt behind his words but only just.

'I'm not against you exactly...I'm not really against anyone but...' I trailed off, not wanting to have thi conversation with him right now, or possibly ever.

'But?' He prompted, clearly not going to let me stop just yet.

'How much of the whole vampire stuff is true?' I asked, countering his question.

'Thats not fair, I was asking you.' He looked at me,widening his eyes and pouting. I nearly melted. He looked like those cute lost puppies you get in cartoons.

'I was, I did answer your question, question for a question.' I said slowly, avrting my eyes from the face that would probably melt me for sure if I looked at it for to long.

His face reverted back to normal seeing that it wasn't having the effect he had so obviously intended it to.

'Fine. I'll answer yours. Vampires burn in the sun, unless they have the nifty little daylight rings that most do not, they have to drink blood to survive, a her called vervain is toxic to us and we can compel you, its a form of mind control. unless however you are wearing or have ingested vervain, then we can not.' He spouted out this information at top speed and I barely kept up.

'O-okay. Er thanks.' I stammered over my words, suddenly in awe of Kol and the power he so obviously held.

'Not a problem. Like I said, you answer mine, I answer your question in return, I get that its hard for you to open up, but I'll get you to trust me, and I'll show you that relationships can be good to.'

I didn't answer, and it didn't look like Kol expected me to, as he turned back in his seat and pulled out of the petrol station, back on to the road.

Soon enough we turned onto a country road that was quite bumpy, as we bounced around, well I was as Kol looked completely steady in the seat next to me, much to my envy, we pulled off onto a smooth concrete road again and I could sit peacefully again.

We pulled up to a small white gate, to small for a car and I looked up.

It was a beautiful looking cottage, with ivy climbing up and around the window on oneside, and a pretty arched door, with window boxes full of roses.

But what were we doing here?
