When Bonnie returned to Mystic Falls High and got out of her car, she was startled to find Tyler getting out of his car, and walking towards her. He clearly had skipped class. He also clearly knew she hadn't been in school.
But did Tyler know she had been at the police station, looking at pictures of her dead minion's torn up body? Bonnie decided to pretend as if she didn't see him.
"Bonnie!" Tyler called out. "Bonnie!"
Bonnie began walking faster towards the school entrance! Tyler managed to run and catch up to her! He grabbed her arm and turned her so she was facing him.
"What is this? You're going to pretend I don't exist? Are you also going to pretend that you don't still love me?"
Bonnie managed to shake off his arm! She suddenly didn't feel like bullcrapping him. And since she knew her father would never go along with Sheriff Forbes's request, Bonnie decided to come clean.
"I just came from the police department, Tyler. Faye is dead. Now I pretended to be clueless, but I know good and well that that happened, because of this 'I have to have sex with a witch while I turn into an animal' crap, that you tried to pull on me! Frankly, I think you ought to go back on the run!"
"I didn't kill Faye!" Tyler protested.
"So you're not denying that you know that she's dead? Because pretty soon, my minions are going to know! And while their powers aren't as kick ass as mine, they could do you a lot of harm."
"Then you tell them that I didn't do it."
"And since she ran off with you, who am I supposed to name as her murderer?" Bonnie asked contemptuously.
"Klaus. A man...no...hybrid, named Klaus killed Faye."
Bonnie eyed him.
"Klaus? Does this 'Klaus' have a last name?"
"He runs a chain of spas, among other things, in the next county."
Bonnie now took him seriously!
"Are you talking about 'The Originals' spas? Oh my God! Those places charge an arm and a leg to get into! My mother took me once when I was like 12! Why were Faye and you there? You hid out at a spa?"
"Klaus found us, Bonnie. I don't know how he knows, but he does. He knows about Faye and I. He knows about the minions and he knows about Damon, Stefan yourself and Elena. And it's Elena he is most interested in."
"I don't understand." Bonnie said.
"He explained that file we found in Saltzman's house. Elena is a doppelganger and he needs her blood to make more hybrids-people that are both vampire and wolf. Bonnie, he can make it so that I don't EVER have to change into a wolf again. But I would be part vamp. That's the price."
"Okay. Why are you telling me this?"
"Because he wants Elena out of jail. Out of trouble, to be exact, so that she can come and live with him. He wants to make more hybrids and I want to be one. So..."
"Why are you telling me this crap, Tyler? I mean you haven't even said you were sorry for cheating on me with Faye! And now I have to hear Elena Gilbert's frickin' name..."
Tyler grabbed Bonnie by the shoulders!
"I know you framed Elena. And the only reason you would've done that, is if you were responsible, in some way, for that accident that killed Caroline, Matt and Vicki." Tyler said calmly.
Meanwhile, Stefan had snuck out of class, claiming he needed to make use of the bathroom, before slipping outside and hiding in a nearby bush. He could hear every word Tyler was saying to Bonnie and at this point, it sounded like Elena would be safer in jail! He knew of Klaus, one of the Original vampires. Only Klaus was part werewolf as well. His mother, the Original Witch, had cheated on Klaus's father with a werewolf...or Stefan thought that was the legend.
But that was all he had thought it was. A legend. But to listen to Lockwood here, Klaus was real and he needed Elena for purposes that didn't sound too good to him.
Meanwhile, Bonnie calmly removed Tyler's hands from her shoulders.
"I don't know what you mean." she told him.
"You didn't help me when you could have. You knew damned well I couldn't have been in the road anywhere, because you had just left me." Tyler said coolly.
"I don't know anything of the kind. You're a werewolf. You were half trying to change into a full fledged one, while you were on me! For all I know, you changed and showed up on that road."
"And you would've been on that road, on your way back from seeing me. I see you have a new car." Tyler countered.
"Daddy bought it for me. Stefan stole mine and got in an accident."
NOW, Stefan's eyes almost bulged out of his head! What kind of fucking lie was that?! It sounded like something Damon would say.
Or something Damon told Bonnie to say. Stefan emerged from his hiding place and walked towards the couple out in the parking lot. Tyler saw Stefan first and nudged Bonnie, who finally saw him.
"Hey, Stefan!" Bonnie said cheerfully. Tyler just nodded at him.
"Hey yourselves. Listen, I heard what you all were talking about, all the way over there. Bonnie, you know that that is bullshit. I never stole your car. But the fact that you don't have it anymore, leads me to believe that Tyler is right about his theory."
"I was just guessing." Tyler backtracked. "And I know that you're desperate to save Elena. I thought something seemed different about her when she came here. Losing her parents could've made her go crazy and cause that acc..."
"Cut the crap! BOTH of you! One of you, or both of you, can help free Elena and you're going to!" Stefan huffed.
Tyler spoke.
"If you heard what I said, then you know that Elena has bigger problems than prison. You won't be able to stop Klaus from taking her." he warned him.
"Stefan," Bonnie said, "if what Tyler is saying is true, then you might want to leave with Elena. You know, go on the run with her. It sounds like it might be romantic. Now if you both don't mind..." Bonnie trailed off and tried to edge away from both of them. But Stefan blocked her way.
"Do you want HIM to find out about Damon and you?" Stefan threatened.
"I know." Tyler said quietly. Both Stefan and Bonnie looked at him.
"You do?" Bonnie asked.
"I know," Tyler said, looking at Stefan instead of Bonnie, "that Bonnie slept with him to get back at me for cheating on her. So YOU can inform your brother that whatever he thinks he has going on with Bonnie, is over. I'm back now."
Stefan grinned!
"YOU tell him that! I dare you." he said, then looked into Bonnie's eyes, "and I dare you as well."
And with that, Stefan walked off towards the parking lot. Bonnie raised a brow. There sure was a lot of skipping out of school going on these days! Bonnie turned her attention back to Tyler.
"How did you hear about it?"
"I just did," Tyler said, "and that's not the point. I know you probably had no choice in the matter. If I thought you actually liked that douche, I'd have a hard time with it. Bonnie, you can't go back home. I mean Damon is living there to get to you. You can't go back to live with Zach and your mother either. I want you to go and live with Klaus. They could use a witch to help them around the spa."
"Are you crazy? I can't leave! I go to Mystic Falls High!"
"Klaus would allow for that. Bonnie, it's not like you can't teleport to school. But you need to be someplace where Damon Salvatore isn't all over you. And WE need time alone."
"I can't. If I leave with you, then Sheriff Forbes will think I'm covering for you. She already has plans to ask my father, to allow me to spy on you. Of course he won't do it, but I just wanted to give you a heads up."
Tyler reached for Bonnie's hand and clasped it.
"I want you to come with me and meet Klaus and his brood. You might change your mind. I think once you see what's going on there, you might feel differently." he told her.
Bonnie glanced at the school, then at Tyler. Why not? Her life was already turned upside down anyway now. A little more danger and chaos couldn't hurt, could it?
Tyler actually drove him and Bonnie to the main headquarters of the Originals Spa. They got out of the car and went inside, where Tyler told a receptionist to let Bonnie have whatever services she wanted! This mollified Bonnie quite a bit, and she left Tyler in search of a nice massage.
Tyler then found Klaus, in his spacious office. Klaus and Kol.
Kol had found one of Bonnie's minions, Melissa, lurking about. She had followed Tyler and Bonnie to the spa, after hearing of Faye's murder. Kol had found her outside! He had snatched her up, brought her into Klaus's office and was not on the verge of draining her completely.
Klaus yawned and half watched his brother perform the task, when Tyler walked in and recognized Melissa!
"Isn't that one of..."
"Yes," Klaus said with feigned sadness, "one of the Bennett witches gofers. What was she doing here, Tyler? Kol thinks she followed Bonnie and yourself here. By the way, where is Bonnie?"
Melissa's eyes were now wide open, her death mask complete as Kol turned away from her and eyed Tyler with a bloody mouth.
"Yes, where is the lovely witch? Has she agreed to Niklaus's terms?"
"She's partaking in the spa services here." Tyler replied. He didn't like Kol. From what he saw, Kol posed as human and put the moves on many customers here-male and female. A few had disappeared as well...
"Well bring her to me when she's finished," Klaus told Tyler, "your girlfriend needs to understand the seriousness of the situation, and what her part in this will be."
Tyler said nothing, as his eyes strayed to Melissa's body.
"Do you plan to keep her out on the floor like that? Bonnie is kind of sensitive about seeing dead bodies."
"Who isn't, mate?" Kol asked. "And if she's a Bennett witch, that means she's related to Ayana."
"Who is that?" Tyler asked.
"A powerful witch from the Middle Ages," Klaus informed Tyler, "so that means Bonnie can withstand anything. Even a dead body. Now go and get her."
"We do still have an agreement, right? Bonnie helps you with Elena Gilbert and you will turn me into a hybrid like yourself?"
"Of course." Klaus purred. "Now bring your little girlfriend to me."
Bonnie took one of the cucumber's off of her eyes! She was swathed in a white robe.
"Now? I'm in the middle of a treatment here, Tyler!"
"Bonnie, please? Klaus isn't making you pay for any of this."
"Well why would he? I thought he was your friend?"
"Do you remember any of what we were talking about, before Stefan interrupted us?"
Bonnie scowled, removed both cucumber pieces and took Tyler's hand. They walked out of the private room she had been in, up some stairs and in to Klaus's office and...
Bonnie's eyes grew huge as she spotted Melissa on the floor looking very dead! Bonnie glared at Klaus!
"Nice! Now I'm down to two minions, and I'm going to need their help the night of Homecoming!"
Klaus looked at Tyler, then at Bonnie.
"Pardon me, luv?"
"Homecoming? Didn't you ever go to highschool? Melissa was going to help me with my make-up, Faye, I cut out completely," Bonnie said, giving Tyler a dirty look, "Diana was helping me with my dress...she sews a little and Cassie was going to do my hair! What is this, Tyler?"
Tyler coughed!
"Klaus, this is Bonnie Bennett. Bonnie, this is Klaus and his brother Kol."
Kol grinned. He had rinsed his mouth. Bonnie eyed him, then looked at Klaus.
"Tyler told me about Elena. I don't know anything about why she's in trouble. But I would happy to do some spells for you, in exchange for free services here at your spa. Once a month. I'll even like you on Facebook." Bonnie told him.
Klaus looked at Kol. Kol looked at Klaus.
Klaus spoke.
"Kol, get rid of this body. Tyler, make yourself scarce. For a few moments."
Tyler whispered to Bonnie, "behave yourself', before leaving the room. Kol outright leered at Bonnie, while picking up Melissa's body and leaving with it through another door. That left Klaus and Bonnie alone.
"Bonnie, I suspect that Tyler did not explain my request correctly. I want you to use whatever spell you have to, to get Elena out of trouble. Then I want you to do whatever you have to, to deliver her in my hands. Are we clear?"
"Oh he was clear enough. But what I don't get is why Elena can't stay in trouble? I can grab onto her and teleport her here, but..." Bonnie trailed off.
Klaus grinned!
"Why you sly boots you! You NEED for Elena Gilbert to stay the culprit, don't you? And the only reason you would..."
"Let's just say I can bring her to you, but I would prefer if everyone kind of keeps believing she's guilty." Bonnie admitted.
Klaus thought about it briefly. That could work if he took Elena away from Mystic Falls and secluded her in one of his houses. Preferably in Europe.
"Alright. Agreed. Tyler will become a hybrid if and when you deliver Elena Gilbert into my hands." Klaus said. Bonnie smiled and stuck out her hand.
"Let's shake on it." she said. But Klaus decided to take liberties and steal a kiss, which threw Bonnie! She pulled away.
"What was that?"
"I don't seal deals with handshakes, when it comes to beautiful women." Klaus said. Bonnie said nothing as Tyler conveniently re-appeared looking none too pleased.
"You two should get back to Mystic Falls now." was all Klaus said. Bonnie turned and faced Tyler.
"Yes, I have homework I have to get done." Bonnie told Tyler. Tyler said nothing to that, murmured a goodbye to Klaus and lead Bonnie out of his office.
Damon peered out of an upstairs window, as Tyler and Bonnie pulled up. He glanced behind him at Katherine.
"You know what to do?" he asked.
Katherine smiled.
"As long as you do."
Damon dragged his eyes from her and nodded. Oh he knew what to do. He had been forced to pick between Stefan's happiness and his own. He picked Stefan's once before and that backfired.
He wasn't making that mistake again.
