Roman took a second to look around at all the faces in the room after his revelation, what he gathered from the reactions was that clearly if they didn't think he had lost his mind before, they all sure did now. Bonnie approached Roman, in a daze of anger she gripped the sides of his head with both hands, shaking him back and forth, scolding him like a parent.
"What on Earth is Wrong with you huh?, this is crazy!", Bonnie's voices got even more stern, "This is crazy!. You know damn well how dangerous it is if you turn, you have no control as a wolf. Who knows what you might do?".
Roman grabbed Bonnie's wrists and gently pried her grip from his head, letting her hands fall to her sides. Roman walked to the middle of the living room and peered around, great irritation filled him. "Look I don't want this. Do any of you really believe that I want this. I dread this whole situation. I mean I hate it, but dammit we have a showdown with Klaus coming, whether we like it or not and I don't see anyone else coming up with anything better, because believe me I'm all ears, but you don't have a better plan, because what else could there possibly be?". Roman paused waiting for someone to answer, no one did.
"That's what I thought...Now Elena", Roman turned toward Elena, she looked up at him from her seat, "This isn't on you at all, we're going to send you home and you won't have to worry about this anymore...but you two, "Roman turned back to Stefan and Bonnie, "I know Klaus is scary, trust me I have sat back and been stoical while this guy has delivered blow after blow to me and I took them all right on the jaw. My pack, my Mom...our Brother, we have all sat and taken it...because we were afraid. Well I'm telling you now, I'm done being afraid, so I'm not going to ask either one of you to stand by me, because you can make your own choices and if you don't wanna stick with me, then that's fine, but come hell or high water, win or lose. I'm going to look Klaus dead in his eyes and I'm gonna punch him right in his damn face and I plan to turn his ass into a million little pieces or die tryin. Now if you'll excuse me,I still have some places I gotta be".
With that Roman turned around and left the room. Everyone was left dumbfounded by Roman's impassioned speech, but Bonnie collected herself quickly, walking up to Stefan in a fit of desperation.
"Go talk to him!".
Stefan was still a bit shaken, "What do you want me to say?".
"I don't care!", Bonnie's tone was demanding, "Just go talk some sense into him, however you need to do it...go!".
Bonnie pointed in the direction Roman went, sending Stefan off, he sighed and followed orders, walking off to speak to his brother. Elena just sat back feeling almost paralyzed as she absorbed the whole ordeal, right now she felt a great sense of what seemed like deja vu, followed by uselessness, she tried to think of any way to help as she saw Bonnie fall into a pit of despair.
Stefan stood in the doorway of Roman's room, quietly watching him pack as he thought about what to say.
"You gonna just stand their or do you have something you wanna get off your chest?".
Stefan stepped into the room unsure on what to do, "I...don't know, I just don't know what I'm supposed to say to you".
Roman peered up at Stefan, seemingly very reserved, "That's because there isn't anything to say that hasn't already been said, but if I need to say it again I will. Yes I know this is bad okay I'm not delusional, but what else can we do, if you have a better plan. I'm listening".
Stefan quickly racked his brain trying to come up with an answer, but sadly, he didn't have one, "Look maybe we need time to just sit down and think about this".
Roman shook his head in sorrow, 'Stefan I have been thinking about this for a while and for all we know...Klaus could be on his way here right now, so we might not have any more time to give", Roman turned and walked over to his bed and picked up the bag that was on it, " Now I have a sack full of weapons and few more things I need to go take care of as quickly as I can, so the only thing I have left to say is either you're with me or you're not".
Roman walked around Stefan and out of the room, leaving Stefan with a split second decision to make. Stefan sighed in frustration, 'What a dick!'.
"Wait!".
Stefan turned around, walking into the hallway to face Roman, who was looking at him over his shoulder with an expectant look. Stefan hesitated for a moment, but he supposed if there was nothing he could say to talk Roman out of what he was going to do. "You know damn well I'm with you brother...till the end!".
Roman nodded, "Then let's get to it".
Stefan and Roman walked down the stairs side by side, when they passed by Elena and Bonnie, Roman spoke up.
"Stefan and I gotta go take care of some things, it's gonna be a little dangerous, but if you want to tag along, you're both welcome to".
Bonnie peered from Roman to Stefan, wide eyed, she approached Stefan furiously, "I told you to talk him down not join him!".
Stefan calmly gripped the sides of Bonnie's arms, trying to get her to understand him, "Bon, I couldn't talk him down. I tried, but he's stubborn...plus he's right,we don't have anything better and who knows if we have enough time to come up with something, so I think helping him might just be the best way we get out of this. I love you, we'll be back soon!".
Bonnie stood there in disbelief, she watched as Stefan and Roman exited the house. Elena looked at her with questioning eyes, as if asking what they were going to do. Bonnie began to almost hyperventilate with panic, the two most important people in her life seemed to be on a suicide mission and she had to do something about it quickly, and sadly she knew what to do, she had something important to say, something she really didn't want to reveal in these circumstances, but it might just be the thing that knocked Stefan and Roman back into reality, so she rushed out the front door, Elena followed. Bonnie stopped looking at the backs of the two brothers walking away from her, a look of determination on her face, she screamed out at them.
"I'M PREGNANT!".
