I don't own The Vampire Diaries.
A/N: The reason that I've taken so long to update is because I've been pretty crushed about a review. Somebody anonymously left me a review for this story saying that I'm a racist because I'm not a fan of Bonnie and apparently I write witches like slaves. I'm beyond hurt by that because I have never in my life judged anyone by anything but their actions alone.
Race, sexuality and religion have no bearings on how I see a person and I think that the person who called me that is a truly hurtful individual. This person did not even have the courage to leave me this as a signed review which would have given me the chance to defend myself. I have plenty of stories where I do not write Bonnie as the bad guy. It changes depending on my mood. I can't stand Elena, doesn't mean that I have anything against brunette Canadian/Bulgarians!
If you are a huge fan of Bonnie, then go read Bonnie centered stories because I write Bonnie the way I see her. She is judgmental, hypocritical and is wrong a lot of the time. All characters have flaws and those are hers. No character is perfect.
To the reviewer: You said that you've read some of my other stories, clearly you haven't, because in 'The Aftermath' for example, I have written her as incredibly important to the plot. It depends on the rest of the story. But all in all, you are a coward for making an accusation like that and not even having the courtesy to sign it to allow me to defend myself. In the country I live in, an accusation like that would have me arrested. So, in future, think before you make unfounded allegations like that because it's hurtful and rude.

Chapter 26
Bonnie did the search for Klaus as soon as they got to Detroit and saw that he was in a bar, so they found an abandoned office nearby to perform the spell in. Damon went to find them a criminal while Sheila set up the spell. Caroline pulled her aside once Damon was gone as she felt like she had to say something.
"I'm so sorry about Damon." Caroline apologised to her gently. "I genuinely had no idea that he'd stop me from doing it." She promised and Sheila gave her a smile.
"Sweetheart, I'm actually very happy about it. I've been dreading having to stop your heart." Sheila admitted surprising Caroline. "But that's not the only thing that you wanted to talk to me about." She observed and Caroline sighed.
"Can you do the spell with Bonnie? Please? Use her power?" Caroline requested pleadingly.
"Why?" Sheila queried.
"You saw my memories." Caroline reminded. "You can't die." She pleaded. "Bonnie needs you so much and if she loses you, I'll lose her. Please."
"Alright." Sheila agreed reassuringly, seeing that the young blonde was super worried about it.
Damon returned half an hour later with a guy who just looked like a criminal. There was no doubt that he was one – though, he was visibly compelled if his blank expression was anything to go by.
"Lie down over there." Damon directed and the man went to where Damon had pointed then lay down.
"What did he do?" Bonnie questioned sceptically.
"Raped two women and killed his mother." Damon answered and the women grimaced at the thought of that. "No need to worry about restarting his heart." He smirked and Sheila, Caroline and Bonnie rolled their eyes at him.
"Stefan, I had an idea." Caroline stated and he looked at her. "Future Stefan told me that you and Klaus used to pick each other's dinner." She stated and he nodded.
"Where are you going with this?" Damon asked her suspiciously.
"Well, I was thinking that Stefan could pick me for Klaus then while he's feeding you could snap his neck from behind. It would be better if he doesn't think that Stefan had anything to do with it. Then while he's out, Stefan can touch his chest for the spell." Caroline explained.
"Why can't he do that with someone else then?" Damon asked annoyed and she deadpanned at him.
"I swear to God if you start with this crap again, I'm going to kick your ass." Caroline warned and they all couldn't help a laugh at that.
"Why you?" Damon asked annoyed.
"Because if I'm there, Stefan will remember to concentrate so that he doesn't kill." Caroline replied and he rolled his eyes knowing that she was using what he told her about Stefan against him. "What do you think?" She asked Sheila. "Don't you think that it would be better if Klaus isn't conscious during the spell? Then if anyone ever awakens him, he can't blame Stefan." She added and Sheila considered that.
"Yes." Sheila agreed. "So, you can make yourself useful by breaking his neck." She smirked at Damon who scowled at her – then thought of something.
"Ah, but to fit into your little theory." Damon said to Caroline with a smirk. "If someone awakens him and you are a vampire, he'll know that you were both in on the plan." He pointed out and Caroline deadpanned at him and Bonnie couldn't help a chuckle – though kind of crazy, she thought Damon was really funny and his interaction with Caroline even funnier.
"I already have a plan for that." Caroline defended.
"Oh? And what's that?" Damon questioned amused.
"I'm going to hand over the other Originals to Elijah and get him to ensure our protection from Klaus." Caroline replied and Damon shot her a look.
"And how do you know that he would keep his word?" Damon tested.
"Because he just wants his family back. He'd do anything for that including a promise to protect us. Besides, he's actually a good guy." She replied. "I can't stand Rebekah personally but Elijah will keep her the hell away from me, so it's all good." She added and Stefan couldn't help a chuckle.
"Why can't you stand her? She was amazing to me." Stefan replied amused.
"Long story." Caroline muttered.
Present
Bonnie and Stefan were shaking with laughter in understanding.
"Probably because you slept with her." Stefan teased Damon amused and he smirked.
"What's going on?" Elena examined.
"Care's saying that she can't stand Rebekah." Bonnie repeated amused and Elena giggled.
"Who can?" Elena quipped and they laughed.
Past
"I do not like this plan." Damon informed as he, Stefan and Caroline walked out of the building towards the bar.
"Nobody cares what you think. Go hide in the alley." Caroline directed annoyed and Stefan couldn't help a chuckle – he loved how bossy she was with Damon.
"Fine." Damon muttered. "Give me a kiss." He bid and she rolled her eyes then kissed him. He was gone in a blink afterwards and she sighed.
"Your brother is a loon." She stated and Stefan laughed.
"Such a loon." Stefan agreed amused.
Caroline went into the bar first and spotted Klaus sitting at the bar chatting to the barmaid. She went up to the bar and a bartender went up to her.
"What can I get you?" He asked and she noticed Klaus glancing at her.
"A margarita please." Caroline answered.
"ID?" The bartender requested and she opened her bag and presented her compelled ID and he nodded then made her drink.
"Thanks." She smiled then paid for it – Klaus's eyes still on her – then she went to sit in a booth. Klaus turned in his seat to look at her and his jaw fell a little at the sight of Stefan walking into the bar. Stefan walked up then froze.
"Nick?" Stefan asked in disbelief surprising Klaus.
"How do you…" Klaus asked confused at the fact he remembered and Stefan cracked a grin then hurried over to him and Klaus smiled then stood up and they hugged.
"It's so good to see you." Stefan said delighted – internally, it was good to see him and he was actually pretty sad about what was going to go down because Klaus had been a good friend to him, but he wasn't going to risk everyone's lives for the sake of that.
"How do you remember?" Klaus asked confused.
"Rebekah had me drinking vervain in case you compelled me to break up with her, apparently." Stefan lied and Klaus laughed in disbelief.
"Have a drink with me." Klaus bid pleased and Stefan nodded then they sat at the bar and Stefan ordered a beer.
Half an hour later, Stefan decided to go for it – he'd been using the time to prepare himself for a fresh feed and he was really damn calm.
"Getting hungry." Stefan stated and Klaus flashed him a grin.
"Shall we choose for old time's sake?" Klaus asked and Stefan chuckled – he'd been hoping that Klaus would say that.
"Alright. Let's see…" He trailed off scanning the room then he smirked. "That little blonde for you." He nodded to Caroline and Klaus cracked a grin.
"Nice choice. She would have been my choice too." Klaus agreed and Stefan chuckled. "For you… her. The redhead." Klaus motioned to another girl.
"Meet you in the alley?" Stefan smirked.
"Of course." Klaus grinned.
Klaus walked up to Caroline and she offered him a smile – she hated that despite everything, she actually cared a miniscule bit about him.
"Hi." She greeted and he smirked.
"Please accompany me for a walk." Klaus compelled and obviously Caroline had to act like it worked.
"Want to go for a walk?" Caroline asked brightly and he nodded.
"Certainly." He agreed holding out his elbow for her and she smiled then stood up and took his arm, noticing Stefan walking out with a redhead. They walked out of the bar then went into the alley and Caroline looked at him sceptically.
"The other direction is a nicer walk." She commented and he chuckled.
"Perhaps, but this is more secluded." He answered.
"What do we need seclusion for?" She tested sceptically and he flashed her a devious smile.
"Something to eat of course." He responded.
"I'm confused." She remarked then he pushed her up against the wall and she stared at him wide-eyed. "What are you doing?" She gasped then she saw Stefan smirk at Klaus.
"Shall we, old friend?" Klaus asked Stefan.
"Hell yeah." Stefan agreed then their faces changed and Caroline's jaw dropped while Stefan's fangs sunk into the redhead's neck and he covered her mouth with his hand.
"You're a vampire?" She gasped and Klaus cocked his head to the side – Damon had made Caroline promise him to try to distract Klaus instead of feeding on her.
"Why are you not afraid?" Klaus queried.
"Hello? Have you seen Twilight?" She questioned dumbly and he chuckled – Stefan was trying so hard not to laugh at that too.
"No, but I've heard that it's quite the phenomenon." He stated amused.
"I figured that the sparkly vampire thing was a load of hokum." She remarked and he couldn't help a laugh at the weird little human.
"This is remarkable. Your heartbeat has not increased from fear at all." He observed and she shrugged.
"Not much I can do about my current situation." She pointed out and he laughed a little again. "Are you going to kill me?" She queried curiously.
"No. You are very interesting." He denied amused and she smiled and winked at him making him snicker. "May I?" He pointed to her neck and she shrugged.
"Okay." She agreed and he smirked then gently tilted her head and he leaned down to her neck then Damon appeared behind him and grabbed his head then snapped his neck and Klaus fell unconscious to the ground.
"Nicely done, princess." Damon smirked and she giggled.
"That's enough, Stefan." Caroline directed and Stefan pulled away panting. "Get rid of her, Damon. Stefan has stuff to do." She stated and Damon went over to the girl while Stefan kneeled down next to Klaus and stuck his hand in his chest then held his heart.
"We're on." Damon said into his phone then hung up. He healed and compelled the girl then she hurried out of the alley. "It's slowing." Damon observed as he was listening to Klaus' heartbeat.
"Damon, can you break his neck a couple more times?" Caroline requested. "Maybe he won't regain consciousness if his blood can't circulate to heal him." She remarked then he kneeled down next to Stefan and broke Klaus neck back and forth, truly shattering the bones.
"Doesn't look like an all-powerful scary thing." Damon observed and they snickered.
Present
"It worked." Bonnie said half relieved, half ecstatically and they all grinned.
"Klaus is really taken care of." Stefan stated pleased. "Though, Caroline flirting with Klaus was hilarious." He remarked and they laughed.
"What?" Elena giggled. "What happened?" She asked highly amused.
"His plan was to drain her in the alley." Stefan started.
"Then she talked a lot of crap about Twilight and stuff and he changed his mind and was only going to have a drink." Damon added amused and the girls laughed in disbelief. "He even agreed that he wasn't going to kill her."
"She had him laughing and everything." Stefan added and they chortled – only Caroline.
"Now that we've got Klaus taken care of, someone has to go check to see if Mikael is dead." Bonnie remarked.
"I'll go." Damon offered.
"Kill him." Elena directed and he rolled his eyes.
"Obviously." He smirked.
Past
Once Klaus' heart was stopped, they put him in a coffin and the witches magically sealed it so that only two witches of the same line could open it – like the spell that was on Ester's coffin. Damon and Stefan went out to search nearby trucks, warehouses and hotel rooms and a few hours later, they found the coffins with the other Originals in them. Stefan bought a trailer and stuck the five coffins in the back of it then hooked it up to the back of Caroline's car then they were driving back to Mystic Falls. Though, Caroline went in Damon's car at his insistence.
When they eventually got back to town, Stefan dropped Sheila and Bonnie home as it was 4am, so they were exhausted and needed to sleep. Sheila had used Bonnie's magic as requested by Caroline, so she could feel herself that her life force wasn't drained. She wouldn't be dying any time soon.
Once the other three were back at the boarding house, Damon and Stefan carted the coffins down to the cells and let Elena out – she was pissed at Damon for locking her up but she was glad that Klaus was dealt with. After that, Stefan and Elena went to bed for a few hours and Damon and Caroline went to his room. She put pyjamas on and he stripped down to his boxers then they got into bed. He rolled on top of her and they kissed heatedly. Damon stripped her of her clothes and she got rid of his boxers then he hitched her legs and slid into her while she held him close.
"I'm turning you." Damon said into her neck and she nodded.
"Good." She approved then he kissed her again.
"Take more blood." He directed while he thrust then he scratched a gash into his neck and she latched on and drank from him while she worked her hips to meet his movements and moaned at the taste of him making him shudder – he loved when she drank from him. She pulled away when the wound started to heal then they were kissing again. Eventually, when she hit her peak, her convulsions around him were enough to send him over the edge. "You sure?" He managed to get out.
"Yes." She agreed then he bit into her neck just as he came and she fought her natural instinct to keep herself alive. She felt herself getting weaker and she couldn't help trying to push him off a little so he held her arm down and she tried to take a deep breath to control her urge to tell him to stop because she wanted this. When he couldn't get anymore blood, he pulled up to look at her.
"I love you." He said into her eyes.
"I love you." She whispered then her eyes closed and her heart stopped. He felt a bit of guilt for it, despite knowing that she would come back. He pulled out of her then rolled to her side and put his arm over her, so that she'd wake up with him there. He knew that it would be several hours, so his eyes closed and he drifted off into sleep, knowing that when his perfect blonde woke up – they'd have forever.
Present
Caroline's body greyed and Bonnie and Elena were a little wide-eyed.
"What's…"
"She's turning." Damon cut the witch off and she sighed.
"It's what she wants." Stefan reminded her surprising Damon that he'd take that stance.
"I know." Bonnie conceded sadly.
Past
Caroline's eyes snapped open and she sat up with a gasp as a reflex and Damon woke up then sat up with her and she looked at him.
"You okay?" Damon asked and she exhaled.
"Yeah." She agreed.
"How do you want to transition?" He asked.
"On a bag." She answered.
"Why?" He tested and she smirked.
"Because I want some vamp on vamp before we have to leave your room." She teased and he flashed her a grin – so looking forward to that.
"I'll be right back." He winked then he pulled on boxers and darted out of the room. Caroline couldn't help a smile – she couldn't wait to transition and be back to normal. She'd spent some time as a vampire wishing to be human again… but getting to be human again sucked ass and she just wanted to turn back the whole time. He reappeared seconds later with a blood bag and she chuckled at the sight – it was B positive.
"Thanks." She smiled then he handed it to her and sat back down next to her on the bed. She opened the corner then took a gulp and sighed in relief at the taste she'd so missed. Damon grinned when he saw the black veins appear under her eyes and her fangs poking out below her lip.
"You're so beautiful." He said softly and she smiled then took another sip of the blood and moaned in pleasure.
"How do you suppose I find B positive humans?" She asked and he chuckled in disbelief that she was sipping the bag with no direction.
"I'll find you one." He promised and she grinned at him.
"Want some?" She asked motioning to the bag.
"From a bag?" He tested sceptically and she giggled.
"You haven't tried it yet?" She asked and he shook his head. "It's not that bad. Try it." She bid holding it out to him then he took a gulp.
"Tastes a bit flat." He observed and she chuckled.
"Yeah, but it's kind of a good thing. If you want a snack and you're feeling lazy, it's easier to just go grab a bag than have to get dressed, leave the house then look for a vervain-free human." She replied and he snickered as he handed it back to her.
"True." He agreed amused.
"Anyway." She replied then downed the rest of the bag and set on the table then licked her lips. "Get the fangs out, Salvatore." She smirked and he grinned deviously then his face changed and in a blink she was on top of him and they were kissing heatedly – he was so turned on by her now also having fangs. He felt like he'd been waiting for her forever.
Caroline fell asleep for a while since she'd been dead not asleep. Damon showered, got dressed then left the house to go find her a human and she woke up just before noon. She showered, dressed then wandered downstairs – thrilled to be back to normal. She wandered into the living room and found Damon, Stefan and Elena there.
"Hey." She greeted.
"You turned?" Elena grinned.
"Mmhmm." Caroline agreed amused.
"I have a present for you." Damon smirked and she cocked an eyebrow at him. He disappeared into the library then came back with a blonde guy who looked to be about 25 years old.
"Aww, you're such a cutie-pie." She grinned understanding that it was a B positive human and they laughed in disbelief.
"In the house?" Stefan tested sceptically, sure that she would kill the guy since she just turned.
"Don't be a buzz-kill." Caroline directed then wandered up to the guy and looked into his eyes. "Go run a lap around the house then come back." She compelled amused then the guy ran down the hallway and out the door while Damon and Stefan chuckled in surprise.
"What will that do?" Elena asked curiously.
"Adrenaline. Tastes awesome." Caroline winked making Damon grin at her and Stefan roll his eyes with amusement – Damon was sure that she was perfect. The front door opened again minutes later and the guy ran back in and in a blink he was against the wall and Caroline sunk her fangs into his neck and Damon watched grinning while Stefan was biting his lip. She drank and drank – their jaws dropped when she pulled away when his heart slowed then she licked her lips. "Man that was awesome." She sighed dreamily and they laughed in disbelief. She pierced her finger then dabbed her blood on the wound then stared into his eyes. "Forget seeing the four of us, you were not fed from, go home and eat something with iron in it." She compelled then let him go and he left while she wandered into the room licking her lips.
"How did you do that?" Stefan asked shocked.
"It's not my first time, Stefan." She winked and they laughed then she wandered up to Damon and kissed him. "Awesome present." She grinned and he chuckled then kissed her again.
"You going for a run?" He asked and she nodded.
"Yep." She agreed. "I'll be back soon." She winked then was gone in a flash and Damon couldn't help smiling at the door.
"She was meant to be a vampire." Stefan observed.
"Oh yeah." Damon smirked...
