Hello dear reader. Are you ready for a Kennett centric chapter? And are you ready for the big twist. I hope you like it. One quick note; they are still switched. So:

Bonnie is still in Elijah's body.

Elijah is still in Tyler's.

Caroline is still in Damon's.

And Klaus is still in Caroline's.

Chapter 14: Where are you, Kol?

Kol Mikaelson had gone on deliveries throughout the greater United States. He had arrived in California three days ago and was enjoying the scene. He went surfing for most of the day and partied for most of the night. It made Kol giddy being around all of these young people in their swimsuits. He would bring groups back to his penthouse. After they got there Kol would drink, get laid and pass out.

The locals were so accommodating. Kol did not think he ever wanted to leave. Once in awhile he would check the feed coming from the video cameras that he had placed around the store and Klaus' mansion. It was funny that his brother was so preoccupied with the doppelgänger and Caroline Forbes, that he did not notice the cameras capturing his every move.

At the moment things seemed pretty boring to Kol. At least they had been until Bonnie had screwed up the body switching spell. Now, that part was somewhat amusing. However, he began to yawn every time he had to watch his brother make out with Damon Salvatore's body. He had preferred watching Caroline trying to get into Elijah's pants. Of all the people that Kol knew Elijah needed to loosen up a bit. 'Oh, well then,' Kol thought with a smirk, 'with all that heat coming from Tyler Lockwood's wolfiness it shouldn't take too long before 'Lijah had to give into his desires.'

When there was a loud knock on the door Kol didn't think too much about it. He simply thought it was room service. They were wonderful at this hotel. He never ran out of food and room service was excellent. He swung the door open with a wide grin. The grin vanished when Kol saw the other person standing in front of him.

"Bonnie Bennett, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Kol attempted a friendly smile until Elijah's hand wrapped around his throat. Bonnie slammed the door shut and Kol found himself on the other side of the room. He rubbed the back of his head from where it connected, hard, with the wall on the other side of the room.

"Ow," Kol pulled his hand back and saw a bit of blood. He jumped to his feet ready to fight back. "Bonnie, you do not want to fight me."

Bonnie was seething. She had ditched Elijah's suit a hundred miles back. She had dressed his body in a pair of jeans and a button down pale blue shirt. She had contacted one of Elijah's witches for help in tracking down Kol. He started this whole stupid thing and he was coming back and helping her fix things. Bonnie would not admit to herself that she wanted to know why Kol had just taken off without a word.

Bonnie and Kol were now about to fight each other. However, Bonnie was unsure of how to proceed. Despite the fact that she was currently in the body of an Original vampire she was not a fighter. Kol took advantage of this opportunity and lunged at Bonnie. Bonnie fell to the floor pinned beneath Kol, who simply smiled.

"Hello, my little witchy. I really wish you weren't stuck in the body of my big brother because there are so many delightful things I would like to do to you. Maybe I can call room service and find a better body to suit our purposes. What do you say, my little witchy?" Kol stroked his brother's cheek but he was seeing a younger, smaller female beneath him.

Bonnie's face twisted in disgust. "Oh dear God. No, Kol. You are a sick little man." Bonnie pushed Kol off of her and sat up.

This seriously sucked. Bonnie had no idea how she was going to get Kol to go back home. Not when all that he seemed to want to do was to try to mate with her. "Seriously, Kol this is not funny. People could get hurt horribly because of what has happened and we need to get back to Mystic Falls as soon as possible."

Kol got up, sighing. "Why would I want to do that? I am having the time of my life. And that is saying something given how many years I have been alive. Do you know how bored you can get when you have seen and done as many things as I have?" Kol threw his arms open to give Bonnie some idea of how expansive his experience of the world was.

"Kol, why don't you try doing something for someone other than yourself for once. Now, that might be a new experience." Bonnie was now leaning against a wall. She had crossed Elijah's arms and was now smirking.

Kol rolled his eyes and flopped down on the bed. He turned on his laptop. "Because Bonnie, I am not a goody-goody like you and your little friends. I do not believe in going out and trying to save people from the stupid things that they choose to do. I feel that my role in the world is to show people a good time." He now sat up and pinned her with a serious look. "Because if you were honest with yourself, Miss Bennett, you would admit that your world is boring. Sometimes it is tragic. Sometimes it is full of pain and agony but more than anything it is dull. You need me to remind you that you are alive."

Bonnie thought about it. "Why do you think that I wasn't living before I met you and your family? I went to school. I had friends. I laughed. I was happy. And now you came along and everything is a mess. How do you consider that living?"

Kol was watching the scenes from the night before. Without looking up from the computer screen Kol addressed Bonnie's question. "You need me to show you what you are. What you're capable of becoming. You have no idea what the world is like. You are just a little girl compared to the life I lived. If you will allow me to I can help you."

Kol waved Bonnie over to look at the computer screen Bonnie's jaw dropped and tears filled her eyes when she saw Caroline, Damon and Tyler's bodies fill the screen. They were standing in the lobby of 'Amp Burger. There was a man's lifeless body lying on the floor.

"What happened?" Bonnie asked her voice hoarse. She could not stop staring at the screen.

Kol reached out and scooped up Nik, Jr. "Well, it's simple, really. This jackass made my brother, Elijah, very angry and Elijah reacted in the way that he usually does when he's annoyed. He killed the man. Unfortunately, that means that my dear brother has triggered Tyler Lockwood's werewolf side. That would mean dear 'Lijah would have been howling at the moon for the last two nights."

"What?" Bonnie asked panicking. When did this happen?" Bonnie was horrified. They needed to get back tonight. 'Oh God, what did she leave her friends exposed to?' Bonnie felt tears running down her cheeks. "We need to go, now, Kol. We have to get back."

Kol sat back up, pulling Nik, Jr. onto his chest. "If that is what you wish to do I cannot stop you, my little witchy."

"Kol, please," Bonnie was sobbing quietly. Kol looked at her, debating. He really did not want to go back to deal with Nik's wrath. That would be bad. And he really did not want to end up back in a coffin for another century. However, there was something about the way that the Bennett witch was pleading that was beginning to nag at him.

Finally Kol sat up, readjusting Nik, Jr. "I will go back with you if you do two things for me."

Bonnie nodded eagerly. "Okay."

Kol smiled at her. "First, I want you to tell everyone that I helped you. I do not want Nik getting it into his head to put me in a box again."

"Alright. What's the second thing?"

Kol's smile widened, "I want you to begin dating me." He sat forward stroked the puppy in his lap.

Bonnie raised Elijah's chin in that defiant way of hers. "I think I would rather date the dog. At least it's cute."

Kol turned his attention back to his computer. "No date, no deal."

Bonnie began to pace the floor. 'This was not right. He had no right to try to manipulate her into dating him like this. This was all so wrong. But her friends were in danger and they were wasting time,' she thought. Bonnie turned to Kol, "Fine, I will date you but you better get your butt off that bed, right now. We need to be in Mystic Falls like two days ago."

Kol was satisfied and got up, holding Nik, Jr. under his arm. He was packed and ready to go in less the five minutes.

Bonnie rolled her eyes and tapped Elijah's foot impatiently as Kol booked two first class tickets to Richmond. He called downstairs to request a bellboy to collect his bags. He also made arrangements for a rental car to be ready for them in Richmond so that they could drive to Mystic Falls. He grabbed his surf board and tucked it under his other arm.

Bonnie looked at the surf board and raised an eyebrow. "Nostalgic purposes," was all Kol offered on the subject. Bonnie rolled her eyes at the image of a vampire surfing. They exited the hotel in a hurry. The line in the airport was not terrible but Kol insisted on compelling someone into believing that he had a life threatening condition and needed to board the flight early.

Kol and Bonnie were soon airborne and Kol complained about the awful chick flick that they were showing. Bonnie had to prevent him from killing anyone. At one point Kol had excused himself to get a drink from one of the stewardess' and Bonnie hadn't thought too much about it.

When it dawned on Bonnie what he had meant she was unbuckling her seat belt and halfway down the aisle before she knew where she was going. Kol had a young woman in a flight attendant's uniform in his arms. When Bonnie appeared Kol extracted his fangs with a slow smile. "There you are. Like I said, I was going for a drink." He held the young woman out to Bonnie. "You need to feed, too. You don't want to let my poor brother's body to get run down, do you?" Kol smiled and his teeth were red.

Bonnie tried to ignore the desire to rip into the woman's jugular. "You came back to find a pillow for one of the pilots. You will not remember Kol feeding from you." It scared Bonnie how easy it was to compel the woman, who grabbed a pillow and left.

Kol puckered his lower lip out. "You really are a kill joy aren't you? A bit like 'Lijah," he mused and shrugged. "But, my little witchy, you will need to feed soon."

Bonnie nodded, "When we get off the plane I'll go to a hospital and pick up a blood bag." 'Or five,' she thought silently. She was starving but she would never admit it to Kol. They returned to their seats and Bonnie was relieved when they arrived at the airport. They disembarked and made their way through the airport.

Soon they were in the parking lot and climbing into the vehicle that Kol had chosen, a bright red Ferrari. Bonnie had decided to drive. They might both be indestructible but if they crashed it would only slow them down. Kol was pouting, again, because he wanted to drive the car. He had Nik, Jr. in his lap and had opened his laptop to check up on anything else he might have missed.

Kol was humming to himself and Bonnie wanted to tell him to shut up but she decided not to. They had argued enough for one day. Bonnie was tired. She really wanted to sleep. She had been awake for the past five days, and even as an Original, apparently, you could still become tired. After arguing with Kol about trading seats without stopping the car, Bonnie won and pulled over.

She got out and walked around while Kol climbed into the driver's side. He was grinning in such a way that Bonnie was worried that he planned to drive them off a bridge or something. However, she was too tired to care anymore. She pulled Nik, Jr. into her lap and fell asleep.

Bonnie woke up three hours later and realized that they were at an all-night diner. She wondered about what the other patrons must have thought when they saw Kol carrying Bonnie in Elijah's body over his shoulder, a puppy under one arm, along with a laptop and a surf board under the other. Bonnie took in her surroundings and saw that it was dark and that the full moon was out. This was the last night of the full moon. She wondered how Elijah was coping. Kol had been quiet when she woke up. "Are you hungry?" he asked his eyes glued to the computer screen.

Bonnie ran a hand through her short hair. "Hmm… Yeah, I could eat a whole stack of pancakes. And some bacon and eggs would be good." She smiled and then ran a hand over Elijah's face. She needed to shave. She could not wait to get back into her own body. She hoped that Tyler hadn't done anything weird in hers.

Kol placed the order and then looked at Bonnie pensively. Bonnie did not like that look one bit. "What happened?" She was alert and sitting straight up, looking a lot more like Elijah, a lot more than she had in the last couple of days.

Kol got up and slid into the other side of the booth with Bonnie. He turned the computer screen to show Bonnie what he had seen. Nik, Jr. was curled up and asleep on top of the table. Kol had probably fed him too much bacon but the dog seemed to like it.

Bonnie watched in horror as Elijah was forced to turn in Tyler's body and bite Caroline. "When did this happen?" Bonnie asked her voice rising in pitch.

Kol looked at the date and time. "About threes day ago. The first night of the full moon."

Bonnie stared at Kol. "What does that mean? Is Caroline dead?"

Bonnie was about to cry again and she was really tired of crying.

"No," Kol began to tap his fingers on the table top.

Bonnie stared at him, biting her lip. "So, what does that mean? If she's not dead, then what?" Bonnie's eyes widened. "No it's a myth, right?" she began to shake Kol. "Tell me it's a myth, Kol."

Kol shook his head. "No, it's not a myth. I'm sorry, Bonnie. Caroline is going to become a werewolf."

Bonnie was on the edge of losing it. At that moment the waitress brought her food. Kol had her bag it up and they left quickly. They got into the car and Kol had his foot on the accelerator pushing it all the way the floor, as Bonnie hugged Nik, Jr. to her chest. Caroline needed her and she needed her now.

First, I want to thank KevinH 1997 and imdrowninfootwear for their reviews of chapter 13. To answer a quick question. No, Mr. Brown is not Elena's biological father. That honor still goes to John Gilbert, who will be making a guest appearance in chapters 25 & 26. Isobel Fleming is still Elena's biological mother in this story and will also make an appearance in chapters 25 & 26. I can't tell you much more because then I will spoil the chapter. Mr. Brown's daughter makes a brief appearance at the end of chapter 27.

So, here we are. Tell me what you think of the new development. I hope you don't hate it. It just needed to be done. And don't worry there are still plenty of Klaroline happy moments but there will also be a tragic one as well. Klaroline is end game. It just may take them until the end of The Last Resort to get to a comfortable place. Its epic I tell you. Anyway, there will be a lot more Kennett moments from here on out. This is all leading up to one of the biggest events of the story, The Sacrifice. It's so big that it's 15,000 words and is another three-parter. That would be one of our big tragic moments. There are a few more but I try to add jokes to lighten the mood. For those of you are looking for Delena, there are a lot of Delena specific moments in The Sacrifice chapter 25-27.
