One thing that comes with the consequence of Stefan having his humanity compelled off by Klaus is that he's now sired to him. Whatever the man barks Stefan comes running. This started to bother Bonnie, Stefan was doing well keeping control and she was scared that Klaus would have him do something that could change that.

Bonnie went to her grams' house to ask if there was any solution. At first she was all in to kill the bastard but found out that when you kill an original everyone that they turned dies as well. Neither Bonnie, Stefan nor Damon knew what original held their life in his or her hands so that plan was out. Sheila did tell her of a way but Bonnie knew that it would be a long shot. The only other way to make Stefan free is if Klaus lets him go willingly. All they had to do was think of a plan that could bribe Klaus into letting Stefan free from his compulsion.

Instead of trying to think of something, they went straight to the source. Bonnie and Stefan drove to Klaus' house with a plan in mind.

"Stefan fina- Bonnie, what a pleasant surprise. Stefan you didn't tell me she returned."

"You didn't ask." He chewed his gum.

Klaus had to admit he was a little taken aback by the witch who decided to show her face. Last he heard she was dead and well- that's it.

He was even more confused about why she was here. He studied her and knew that something was off. Her usually radiant eyes had this darkness in them. Klaus smiled when he realized that the Bennett had some dark magic inside her. If he could convince Bonnie to join he's team there was no telling what they could do.

"What's so funny?" Bonnie folded her arms

"Nothing love, to what do I owe this pleasure?"

"I want you to let Stefan free." She went straight to the point.

Klaus let out a chuckle. They really thought that he would take orders from them? He took a deep breath and let out a sigh.

"No."

When he turned around to walk off he heard something that caught his attention.

"We're willing to negotiate." Bonnie shouted.

Klaus spun around on his heels and walk towards the couple. He looked back and forth between them and his eyes landed on Bonnie.

"You," He pointed.

"What?" Bonnie looked up at Stefan.

"I want you to join my team in trade for his freedom."

Bonnie rolled her eyes, "No, you got to be kidding me!"

"Then no deal."

Klaus made his second attempt to walk away but then again he heard something that could change his mind.

"What about blood? Some of Elena's blood. You could create your hybrids or whatever." Bonnie bargained again.

Stefan looked down at Bonnie with shocked eyes. She stared back at him with intensity in her eyes. Bonnie had a plan all she needed was to dot the "I"s and cross the "T"s. Klaus made his way over to her invading her space. Bonnie straightened her spine to reach full height. Klaus stared into her orbs then switched his view to the side to Stefan who was busy staring at Bonnie. He returned his view back at the witch and smirked.

"If you give me the doppelgänger's blood I'll consider letting him go."

He made his last attempt to exit but whatever Bonnie shouted back at him it went through one ear and out the other. He disappeared behind a wall and with a grunt Bonnie made her way out. On the drive back Stefan switched his view consistently from Bonnie to the road. She picked up on what he was doing so she filled him in.

Sigh, "There's a blood drive tomorrow at school. Elena always gives blood so we could just snatch her sample and be on our way."

Bonnie looked over at the vampire she saw the look on his face. This wasn't the first time that Stefan had resisted blood but it would be the first time that he had to resist hundreds of blood screaming at him. She placed a hand on his arm and offered a smile. He returned his view to the road as he was turning into the driveway.

They made their way to their room after telling Damon about their plan. Of course he had his objections but Bonnie didn't see anyone else coming up with a plan so until then she wasn't listing to whatever he had to say. Closing the door behind her, she rolled on the bed joining Stefan. She snuggled up to him as he wrapped an arm around her waist.

"I never asked you this Stefan, but do you want Klaus to set you free?"

She realized that she didn't even bother asking Stefan what he wanted. She was being selfish and even though all she wanted was Stefan to be free from compulsion she wanted to know what he wanted.

"I would like nothing more than to not be Klaus' bitch."

Bonnie smiled and kissed his soft lips. She rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes.

The next morning Bonnie made sure that Elena was indeed going to school and giving up blood. She didn't bother telling her about the plan because she felt like it wasn't that important to tell her. After Elena existed the truck and the nurse went on her lunch break Bonnie and Stefan made their move. Stefan acted like a dog sniffing out Elena's blood. Her blood had a certain smell to it because she was a supernatural being. When Stefan found her blood he started to make his way out but then stopped. All the blood was screaming his name all he wanted was to grab a few bags, what's the harm in that? He turned around to the B positive that was screaming at him. Bonnie stood by the door watching as Stefan inched his way towards the blood.

"Stefan." She spoke calmly, "We have the blood now let's go."

Bonnie inched her way over to the vampire who stood there staring at the blood. She grabbed a hold of his shoulders grabbing his attention and gently pulled him out the truck. She took the blood from his hands and he sped off. Bonnie cursed under her breath and made her way to the car. She started the engine and adjusted the rear view mirror,

"Christ Stefan! You almost gave me a heart attack!" Bonnie held a hand over her racing heart.

She looked at Stefan through the mirror and saw the hunger in his eyes. She took a deep breath and turned around in the seat.

"Here."

She extended her arm out. When he looked at her questionably she explained.

"Take some. I trust you."

She climbed in the back seat with Stefan and help out her wrist again. Stefan grabbed her wrist and pulled it up to his mouth. Bonnie watched as his fangs grew from his gums and red veins appeared from beneath his eyes. He bit into her wrist and Bonnie hissed but soon relaxed. She counted to five and waited a few seconds for Stefan to release her himself. When Bonnie was about to speak up Stefan released his fangs from her and sealed her wounds. Stefan lifted his head and Bonnie got a view of his dark eyes that soon returned to normal. She grabbed a towel and wiped her blood from his face. She touched her wrist and said a healing spell so the marks would fade faster. She kissed Stefan and made her way back to the drivers set ready to pay Klaus a visit.

Bonnie grabbed the blood bag and walked behind Stefan. Klaus opened the door and let them through. Bonnie handed him the bag and he called one of his werewolf's over. Klaus force fed him his blood then snapped his neck with a flip of the wrist. Bonnie gasped and stepped back as the body fell to the floor with a hard thud. She looked up at Klaus who wore a smirk.

"If this doesn't work his blood is on your hands." He pointed to her to emphasize his point.

Minutes had passed and the werewolf awoke and Klaus gave him some of Elena's blood. The werewolf began to flip over in pain crying out. Bonnie observed the werewolf in question with wide eyes who was now on all fours. He lifted his head and fangs sprouted from his gums and his eyes were as yellow as the burning sun. Klaus rose from his knees after he got the answer he wanted. He now stood before Stefan and said the words that Bonnie was dying to hear.

"Stefan, you no longer have to do what I say, you're free."

Stefan closed his eyes for a long moment before opening them. He let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding and looked at Bonnie. Klaus walked away proud that he could now start his army. Bonnie looked at Stefan and touched his face searching his eyes. Stefan has been in this situation before all the guilt and hurt and pain was flowing in like a river. He had to hold on to the one thing that made him alive the one thing that he lived for. He looked at the person he held on to; he looked at Bonnie, latched on to her. He focused all his attention on her because she was the one thing in his life that made him want to live through his curse.

"Welcome back." Bonnie kissed him.

They walked out holding hands. Bonnie was happy to have the old Stefan back but she would miss some of his ripper aspects. She would miss his funny come backs, his cursing (which secretly turned her on), and mostly his attitude. No, she didn't like when he would be stubborn and a jerk but he said things that was on his mind and didn't care what people thought about him.

"How do you feel?" She placed a hand on his.

"I'll be okay."

Bonnie smiled and kissed him one more time before they drove off.

A month had passed since Stefan welcomed back his humanity and Bonnie was surprised to see that some of the ripper was still in him. He decided to stay on human blood and with a little more of Bonnie's help he could drink from the vein just like his bro without any problems. He didn't completely turn back to his normal self he still had witty comments and on occasion he would swear here and there. He did however, return back to the loving and caring Stefan that he's always been and Bonnie was glad.

"So babe I was thinking."

"Yes?"

"I think that since we both been through a lot and came out alive and stronger we should have a little vacation."

"Where?" Bonnie became interested.

"I don't know, where's somewhere that you always wanted to go?"

Bonnie was shocked when Stefan didn't say that he had everything planned out and that it was a surprise. He always had things thought out and Bonnie liked that, it took the pressure off of her if she would pick some place stupid.

"I don't know babe. Um...Oh! Let's go to Russia I always wanted to see those tower thingamabobs'! What is it called?"

"Saint Basil?"

"Yeah! I remember doing a project on it in the third grade I think."

"в Россию мы идем моя любовь"

Bonnie rolled he eyes, "You've got to be kidding me."

"What?"

"You speak Russian."

"Yeah, I also speak French, German, Polish, Dutch-" Stefan counted off with his fingers.

"Shut up." Bonnie kissed him and he moved forward until her back hit the bed.

"Spanish...Arabic...Bulgarian..."

Stefan spoke between kisses and Bonnie smiled. His hand traveled up her sun dress and he stroked her thigh up and down as she wrapped her leg around his waist. There was a loud knock on the door and Stefan growled pulling away from the kiss. Bonnie turned her head towards the door and saw a smirking Damon leaning on the threshold.

"What do you want Damon?" Stefan hissed

"Caroline's here"

"Oh Caroline!" Bonnie pushed Stefan off her and ran her way down the stairs.

Stefan's eyes followed her out with his mouth open.

"Are you serious?" He looked at Damon.

"Women" Was all he said before he walked away.

Meanwhile downstairs the girls were having a reunion. Caroline hasn't seen Bonnie and Elena since after Bonnie had returned to the living. Caroline had gone on a trip with her art class and as soon as she got home she made her way to the boardinghouse to surprise her friends.

"Caroline!"

"Bonnie!"

"Elena!"

"Bonnie!"

"Elena!"

"Caroline!"

The girls roared in laughter as they came together in a tight embrace. They all plopped on the couch and started taking all at once. They knew exactly what the other saying they just clicked like that. Stefan and Damon came down the stairs and heard nothing but a bunch of girls talking at once. The best Stefan could make out was,

"Magic...Tyler...school...hoe and drama"

Stefan shook his head and stood in front of the girls.

"Caroline, always a pleasure," He switched his view to Bonnie who chuckled.

The blonde rose from her seat to give Stefan a hug then joined friends back on the couch. After the babbling started again Stefan decided to make his exit. Caroline filled them in on her Tyler drama and Bonnie on her dark magic drama and the trip that Stefan and she had planned and the girls decided to get a quick dinner at The Grill.

"I'm so happy that we could hang out again!"

"I know it feel like it's been years!" Bonnie dragged the last word.

"I know! And Care don't worry about Tyler he loves you and there's no way Alexis is going to come in between that." Elena soothed.

"I know but that girl has got the best boobs!" She slapped her hand on the table.

"Caroline!" Bonnie giggled.

"What! We all know it."

"Holy." Elena hid her face with her hand.

The girls were starting to gain stares and whispers thanks to Caroline's loud confession so they thought that it would be a good time to go. Bonnie dropped the girls off at their homes and made her way to the boardinghouse. Returning home with a full stomach she stumbled her way up the stairs.

"Ugh babe I'm so tired." Bonnie closed the door.

Stefan looked up from his book and extended his arms for Bonnie to find her way between them. When Bonnie was settled he kissed her hair.

"I got us the tickets to Moscow."

"Moscow? I thought we were going to Russia?" Bonnie turned her head to face him.

"Uh, babe, Mos-"

"I know, I know, I'm just joking dumb-dumb." Bonnie laughed

"You think that's funny?"

Stefan flipped her over and started tickling her. Bonnie erupted in laughter begging Stefan to stop as tears poured down her face.

"Say you're sorry!"

"N-never!" Bonnie struggled.

Stefan moved his hands down to her feet which was her most sensitive tickling spot. Stefan found that out one day when he was giving her a foot massage. She couldn't stop laughing and kicking her feet. If he was going to get his way anytime soon he knew that he should go for the feet.

"I'm" laughter "I'm sorry!"

"Now that's more like it."

Stefan let her free from his tickling and laughed as she was wiping her tears away. Stefan loved to see her smile and happy he loved it even more when he was the one to cause it.

"So when's our flight?" She chuckled.

"Two days. I figure we shop and relax tomorrow then pack before our flight the next day."

Bonnie nodded in agreement, "Sounds like a plan, babe."

He rolled himself back on top of her,

"Now how about we finished what we started before Caroline came." He stared into her eyes switching his view to her lips.

Bonnie lingered her lips over his then rolled out the bed.

"Who's laughing now?" Bonnie walked towards the bathroom.

"You're so cruel."

"And don't you forget it!"

Bonnie slapped her butt and walked in the bathroom locking it. Stefan rolled on his back shaking his head.

The next morning was their shopping day. Bonnie had no idea what the weather was like in Moscow so she got a little bit of everything. Long sleeves, short sleeves, jeans, and shorts you know the usual. They made a quick stop to her house so Bonnie could pick up her camera. She forgot it the last time Stefan and her went on a getaway. She made sure that she packed the charger and headed out the door.

The next day they were headed out on their flight. They had a quick dinner and drove to the airport. Bonnie was so excited to visit Russia she couldn't wait to experience another beautiful country.

When their plane landed Bonnie already started snapping pictures she couldn't wait to go out and explore. They took a cab to The Ritz-Carlton and Bonnie snapped a picture of the beautiful the hotel before they entered. They checked in and made their way to their suite for the next few days.

As Stefan opened the door to the room Bonnie's bags dropped to the floor joining her jaw. She thought that Jade Mountain was the most beautiful thing that she'd seen but she was wrong. She walked in the door and switched her head from left to right about a million times. She walked forward and found herself in the bedroom. It had gold trimming all along the walls and held two couches and three chairs. On the far wall were two floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the Kremlin, Red Square, Bonnie's favorite; St. Basil's Cathedral and Christ the Savior Cathedral. The sun was setting so it made the view even more beautiful with the street lights surrounding it. Unlike their last trip the suite held flat screen televisions and stereo systems.

Walking out the room she found the bathroom. It had marble baths with a separate rain shower and a private sauna. It also held a separated toilet and bidet, two sinks, makeup mirror, hair dryer and scale. Bonnie knew that she wouldn't be stepping on that scale anytime soon. It was vacation so she was supposed to cheat on her unofficial diet.

Bonnie heard the sound of someone playing a piano coming from one of the rooms. She walked out the bathroom and mazed her way to the noise. She found Stefan playing on the grand piano that was in the living room. She joined him on the bench and watched his fingers move across the keys. She looked up at him and smiled as she noticed the song he was playing.

"Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love"

Bonnie took a deep breath and sang along to the melody. Give Me Love was one of her favorite songs by Ed Sheeran. Stefan looked over at his love who was singing. He smiled as he continued to work his magic on the keys.

"Give me love like never before,
'Cause lately I've been craving more,
And it's been a while but I still feel the same,
Maybe I should let you go"

Bonnie closed her eyes and swayed to the music as she sang. She didn't know why but tears started to stream from her face. The lyrics of the song got to her somehow but she kept singing and her voice grew stronger and louder.

"You know I'll fight my corner,
And that tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood is drowning in alcohol,
No, I just wanna hold ya."

Bonnie's eyes peeled open when Stefan joined in, she looked up at him and he at her. They stared into each other's eyes as they sang the last parts of the song.

"Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love"

Stefan lifted his fingers off the keys and moved them to Bonnie's face. He stared into her eyes and kissed her plum lips. She took a hold of his arm and led him to the bedroom. Stefan hauled her in for a kiss again finding his way to the bed until Bonnie's back laid flat on it. His hands traveled up the hem of her shirt and he slid it off of her and he followed suite. He captured her lips once again, Bonnie and Stefan got rid of their jeans and underwear and Stefan slid himself into her savoring every moment. Bonnie dragged her nails up Stefan's back drawing blood as he slowly moved in and out of her. Bonnie looked at her fingers that were covered in blood. Stefan looked up to see her staring at her fingers.

"Bonnie?" He questioned

"How does blood taste like?"

"What?"

Bonnie lifted her fingers to her face and sucked on her finger while staring at Stefan. He was turned on by the move as she continued to suck on her fingers tasting his blood. He lifted Bonnie up so that she was straddling him. He bit into his wrist to feed it to Bonnie.

"Your weaknesses are my weaknesses; your life is my life."

Stefan repeated the vow that he told Bonnie when he gave her his mother's ring.

"Forever."

Bonnie sucked on his wrist as he bit into her neck. Their juices came together as one and they spooned each other on the bed. It was the first time in a long time that they made love. When Stefan was without his humanity and Bonnie was high on dark magic the time that they spent together wouldn't go into the category of love making. Those times it was full of lust and greed and sometimes even a stress reliever. This time was different. They shared a special bond together and all the lust and greed was pushed aside. They didn't know it yet but it would changes their lives forever.

A/N: Oh snap they blood-shared I wonder what can come out of that ;). I'm not gonna lie I did get a bit of Stelena feels with the song but I'm okay now LOL. Like always thank you for reading and reviewing and please continue! Until next time... *Song Give Me Love by Ed Sheeran*
