Chapter 4: Wicked Games

It was late at night and instead of finding sleep like I was sure everyone else in the house was doing, I felt wired and not myself at all. I had wanted to have a mini sleepover in my room with Kol and Melissa however they were no longer speaking to each other over some stupid fight and that had left me sitting alone in my room idly. Of course I could roam the house if I wanted to, but I was still avoiding Klaus. His past actions had made me want to shun him and go to my guardians, however I hadn't done so. Briefly I wondered what my guardians were doing and thought about contacting them via our bond but thought against it. Since the bond had been solidified, I had felt secure and safe. The hole that was once in my heart almost felt like it was finally repairing and I wondered if it were because I felt so connected to the brothers. I could feel them all around me even when we were apart, it was like they were buzzing underneath my skin.

Deciding that sleep wouldn't come anytime soon, I decided that maybe a dip in the pool would possibly tire me out. Quickly I changed into my green and white bikini and swung open the door. I tried to be as quiet as possible even though I knew that it was probably pointless. I lived in a house with vampires and they could hear everything when they were awake. I'm halfway to the poor when I suddenly run into something hard. Looking up I catch sight of Klaus and my breath I nearly stop breathing. I had been avoiding him, just like I had been avoiding the Salvatore brothers.

He smirked down at her, his arm instantly wounding around her waist as if to steady her. He brought her closer and ignored the way the sound of her heartbeat made him feel happy. "Having trouble sleeping, are you love?" He asked as she took a step back. He heard her upstairs and every fiber in his body told him to go to her, but he knew it was too soon.

I tried to calm my raging heartbeat. I should have known that this would happen. Klaus had been lurking for a full week and finally we were alone. "I figured a swim would do me good and tire me out." I say to which he grins. "What's your excuse?" I ask and instantly regret the way it sounds. "I mean why are you still up?" I ask changing my tone.

He's silent for a moment as he simply looks her way. He wanted to tell her that having her so close in his home, and not being able to touch her had kept him up, so much that in order to sleep only came when she too was asleep."I was in the workshop." He says pausing. "I had a sudden inspiration." He says and it's true. He had painted her face, her body so many times and then he had come up with the perfect way to show her how sorry he was for ever treating her so bad. His eyes briefly flickered to the box that was hidden by the darkness in the house. The only light was the moon light that had crept through the huge windows.

I nodded my head in understanding. Whenever Klaus looked at me, I felt like he was really looking at me, as if he were trying to memorize everything about me and it had unnerved me. "Well then, I guess I should let you get back to it." I say walking around him.

"Bonnie" Klaus calls stopping me. "You do know there are other ways to tire one out." He says pausing. "Perhaps one day we can explore that once again."

"Good night Klaus." Is my final words.

An hour later, I've taken my shower and prepared for bed when suddenly a knock echoes throughout the room. My door suddenly opens and in walks my husband, in baby blue pajama bottoms and shirtless. I give him a look to which he happily smiles back at me.

"I came to bid you goodnight." He says as his cornflower blue eyes meet mine.

"Ok." I say biting on my lip. "Goodnight." I say ignoring the way his eyes linger on me a second too long. I knew Klaus wanted more out of our marriage then an alliance and I also knew that I was not ready for that kind of commitment, or if I could ever be ready for that..with him.

He continues to look at her for a few seconds before speaking. "I have something for you love." He says pausing to step out of the room before bringing in his newest creation. It's wrapped in a big box and he can only hope that when she opens his newest present, that she realizes that it had come for the heart.

"I don't need gifts Klaus." I say as he looks at me expected. I guess in his own way, Klaus was trying to apologize yet again, but really gifts wouldn't make me forget. He scared me that day and I don't think I could ever forget that night. Klaus had already gone way and beyond for me, he had brought Melissa here and I was thankful for that.

He bites his lip a habit he may have picked up from her. "I may not be the best may, but I just want you to know when I'm with you, I want to be a better man." He says suddenly feeling too exposed. Without much thought he quickly shoved the box in the corner. "I want you to have this, you can open it, keep it in the closet...do what you please." He says before disappearing.

DS-SS-DS

Damon Salvatore was a man of many talents, he was a great dresser, you can't go wrong with black, whoever was the rap artist who said all black everything, had the right idea. Although his talents were endless just like his stamina, the one thing he had been really good at besides breaking hearts, was dream hopping. After Bonnie had refused to his services in and out the bedroom, not to mention she had dismissed the idea of moving into the manor-he realized the only way to save her from her own stubbornness and from Klaus, was to break down her walls and the best way to do that, was to invade her dreams.

He had thought about her often, too often for his own good and sometimes when his mind would wander he wondered if she had been thinking about him and that was the effect. He knew that Stefan had been suffering as much as him. It was almost like since the bond was finally activated being without her...without Bonnie near felt foreign and he wondered what it felt like before it had been activated. The only thing he did know was that this feeling of wanting to be near her, to see her was starting to drive him insane and he already had a few screws loose. As for Stefan he had been quieter then usual, and if it weren't for the moment he had caught his brother in a moment, a moment when his brother was calling their witch, with stuttered moans, and as disgusted as he was, at least he knew that he was not alone in the sudden need of the beautiful Bonnie Bennett.

Lying in his bed he closed his eyes briefly. It had been a long time since he had dreamed hopped but he was up for the challenge. His body felt tingly as he thought of being imbedded in the beautiful witches dreams, he was sure she already had dreams of him because well, he was a hot vampire and who wouldn't! Just as he was about to drift into dreamland, he caught the sound of pacing and knew it was brooding brother. He didn't have to open to his eyes to know that Stefan was standing in the door way, brow furrowed and arms crossed. "What to do you want?" he asked eyes still closed.

"We have to get her." Stefan says his voice is desperate and it reminds him of how Stefan was after a binge on human blood. Popping open an eye he sees his brother who looks like he's about to get the shakes.

"That's what I'm doing." He says a slow smile forming on his lips.

"Dream hopping." Stefan says, though it more then a statement.

"Yep." He says crossing his ankles together. "I'll have her withering so much that she'll find a way to get here, and then.."

"We'll have her" Stefan interrupts. He clears his throat at the outburst. "She'll be with us."

He frowned. He hadn't thought about that. "Brother I don't share well."

Stefan finishes his drink. "It's a good thing you don't have a choice." He says before walking out.

Damn witches, he curses inwardly. He may have to share her when she was in the presence of the two of them, but in his dreams..in their dreams she had belonged to him. Closing his eyes, he drifted.

It had been easier to get into her dreams then he had thought. He had found her at the beach. She wore a two piece magenta bathing suite and a white lily in her hair. From his perspective she was glowing as if flicks of gold had been in her smooth skin. He had to touch her. He needed to touch her. From afar he watched as she walked across the white sand blissfully. He noted how at peace she had looked, and it had dawned on him that during their first meeting, when they had been flirting he had yet to see the girl sincerely happy and he knew in that moment that he had wanted to see it...he needed to see it. He watched as she stood along the shore as if debating her next move and then within a blink of an eye she had descended into the water. With her back still to him and her head still to the sky that was painted in shades of orange, pink and purple he decided to make his move, but stopped upon the sight in front of him.

Bonnie had dared to dip her head underwater and once she had remerged he almost busted on the spot. He had a feeling she tasted like sugar and spice. Clad in his black trunks, he dived into the water silently, and swam like a shark. When he was close enough to touch, captured her by the waist. She let out an audible gasp stirring in the water. "Shh it's just me, firecracker." He said laving kisses along the shell of her ear.

"Da-Damon!" I said alarmed. This had been my dream. It was the one place I could go and be free. Here in dreamland I didn't have to think of the prophecy, I didn't have to deal with Klaus and the fact that he may or may not actually be in love with me, or at least serious like and most of all I didn't have to deal with the fact that I was magically chained to the sides of two equally hot but different brothers, the same brothers who may or may not be my soul-mate, or soul-mates. " This is my dream." I say turning around in his arms. The water is warm and his body is pressed so deliciously against my own.

"This is our dream."' He says huskily as he holds onto her tight. Their water slicked chests are pressed together and he hopes she can feel him, really feel him. His eyes examine her face and he realizes that she paints a pretty picture. The sky is now dark but her eyes, they are so green, apple green, and the glow that the moon is now casting on her, has left him mesmerized. He nuzzles his face in the crook of her neck inhaling her scent and when she let out a gasp he smiles against her skin.

"How did you get here?" I ask ignoring the way his lips are laving my skin. This is wrong, so wrong, real or not we shouldn't be doing this. I shouldn't let him touch me like this...kiss me like this but it feels natural. I can feel him beneath the warm water...all of him and im biting my lip as his hands roam my bathing suite clad bottom. He's moving us and before I know it I've wrapped my legs around his lower torso, his hands are dancing along my skin causing me to shiver.

He lifts his head from her skin. "I told you I had skills." He said pulling back to look at her. "It's been a week." He says gripping her waist and enjoying the skin to skin contact. He watches as she blinks his way, her mouth parted slightly. "You've been avoiding me and it ends tonight." He says his once playful voice turning serious. Since the bond had been activated, the only thing he could think of was her, he couldn't concentrate and it was this all too consuming feeling. All he thought about was feeling her, touching her, seeing her.

He could admit that he was in serious lust, in fact that first time he had laid eyes on her before the bond had been truly activated, before he knew who she was, the girl with the green eyes had reverted him back to the Damon of long ago. The Damon who just wanted to have fun. The Damon before he had gotten himself mixed up in the relationship between Elena and Stefan. When he had first met Bonnie, before he knew who she was, he had acted on pure instinct, he wanted her. He had wanted to consume Bonnie the way she had somehow began to consume him, and of course he wanted her in bed that was obvious. When they had first made eye contact he saw within a split second the two of them...her beneath him, on top of him..crying out for him and most of all driving him insane. He wanted more though, he wanted to know what made her tick and everything in between.

I clicked my tongue and bit back a smile, he seemed so intense about the matter, I guess I could chalk it up to the bond, it was already affecting me and I wasn't a vampire, and I could only assume that for a vampire whose senses were magnified, the effect of the bond was hitting him and his brother harder then it had hit me. "Poor baby" I say lightly, "not use to rejection." I say poking my bottom lip out in a faux pout.

He grinned and her and soon bent down and sucked on her bottom lip. Just as swiftly as he scooped down and he soon came right back up and watched as a light peach blush tinted her golden cheeks. "You were saying." He says issuing his own challenge.

I squinted his way, before pushing away and suddenly swimming in the opposite direction. I needed to wake up and wake up now. I couldn't do this, Damon was inside of my dreams and I knew he'd be a bad influence on me. He made me want to do bad things. Things I shouldn't want to do with someone I just met. I had been plagued with dreams that didn't make sense about the brothers and now with Damon being here now, tempting me it made me want to get away. I couldn't possibly fight him in my dreams and in reality.

I swam faster hoping that something would awaken me and when that didn't happen I dared to look back to see that Damon was nowhere in sight. Frowning I turned around and caught sight of the him, his ink coated black hair was slicked back and his glacier blue eyes were lively. In fact he was daring to grin at me.

"You can run but you can't hide." He sing songs before hugging me to him. Our chest are touching and damn if it feels good. His pressed against me just right and I wrap my legs around his lower torso, knowing that everything he's said is true. I could run but couldn't hide, if he had gotten into my dreams, he could do just about anything.

"Not that I'm impressed," I say pausing as I wrap my arms around his neck. "But how'd you do it." I ask deciding that seduction might be the best way to extract information from him. I place a chaste kiss to his adams apple and soon move my face much closer to his.

"It's the bond." He says pausing to nip down at my lips. I close my eyes briefly as his lips decide to cover my neck in tiny kisses. I had lit a flame that probably should never burn but I was damn if I do and damn if I don't. "Since it's been activated, it's had many effects." He says wiggling his eye brows suggestively.

"Such as dream stalking?" I accuse causing him to smile my way. I'm tempted to splash him with water, or maybe have him splash me because it might manage to wake me up, but as time goes by, I don't want to wake, not yet.

He placed a sloppy kiss to her cheek. "All you need to know is that I can creep into your dreams and do whatever I want, whenever I want." He finishes, and just for kicks he changes the scenery with dark purple clouds and lots of rain.

As the rain pours down on us, and coats our faces, I can't help but feel like this is so magical. As annoyed as I was with Damon for creeping into my dreams, I had to admit that this experience had been both frightening and exciting at the same time. I pulled myself closer to him, as if that were possible. "But that's not what you want?" I whisper hotly in his ear. "Sure we could do it here, but it won't be the same...it won't feel the same." I remind.

"When can I see you again? Damon breathes out as his fingers skate further along me. Our foreheads are touching, as he peers into green eyes with clear blue eyes that could thaw out an iceberg.

Our eyes lock and I see lust radiating off of his clear blue glacier eyes and deep within his eyes I see myself.

"You're already looking at me." I say with a sly grin. He looks at me with those intense eyes. I feel my previous inhibitions slowly but surly floating away from me as we look at each other

All too soon he starts to lay kisses from below her earlobe to her neck and later sucking on her collar bone.

"Can you hear that?" I ask as Damon growls in response. His lips as usual are roaming once again as his hands which have now settled on me. I let out an audible gasp, at the sensation when I once again hear my name being called.

"Stefan" I call out causing Damon to stop abruptly. His blue eyes are like icebergs as he looks my way. "Can't you hear him?" I say and for the first time, Damon looks nervous. He starts to look around and then turns his attention back to me.

"Ignore it." He says forcing eye contact. "Bonnie, stay with me...here." He says and before he can say another word she's disappeared.

BB-BB

The next morning I had awakened with a startled gasp and a killer headache, like a hangover headache. It had appeared that Klaus and Kol had gone on a mission to find their brother Elijah so Klaus had left me yet another parting gift, this time in the form of fresh white lilies and a handwritten note. Despite myself I couldn't help but smirk at the flowers and the card. Klaus was relentless.

With the house essentially devoid of any male inhabitation, I used this time as a time to soak up the sun with my bestfriend. Melissa had been at the mansion for nearly a week and in that time we hadn't had much time to talk about things. Without Klaus lurking in the shadows, I had time to breathe. The plan was to chill by the pool and later go to the Grill, as that was the only place I knew in Mystic Falls aside from the mansion and my grams.

Dressed in our favorite swim suites, me in my favorite green and white striped bikini and Melissa in her zebra print one piece, Melissa and I lounge by the pool with our favorite drink in hand (vodka and lemonade).

"Does it get better then this?" Melissa asked as she too lounged on her lounge chair. She had her eighties styled sung glasses on her face while she enjoyed the rays.

"Nope." I said sipping out of my lemonade glass. This was the life, no Klaus and Rebecca had yet to be seen which was just the cherry on top. I adjusted my white oversized sunglasses and sunk further into the chair.

"So are we ever gonna talk about it or are we gonna pretend that you didn't get sucked into a vortex where your ancestors solidified your bond with your guardians?" Melissa asks before flopping onto her belly.

I let out a sigh. With the bond I knew that no matter what, I would always have two people who cared about me unconditionally. My heart was still broken from losing the people I loved that most, but at the same time I felt like the brothers were buzzing underneath my skin. They made me feel, whole which was odd because I didn't know them, not the way I should.

"I honestly don't know what to think about the whole guardian thing. I mean it's weird because I feel connected to them," I say turning to look at her. "But I don't know a thing about them. And what makes everything worst was that grams was so vague about my role in their lives. All I know is that one if them or both may or may not be my soulmate, oh and I may or may not be the one to save them." I said sighing dramatically.

She frowns before taking a sip of her drink. "Nice" she says winking in my direction. "So are they at least good looking? I mean the elders wouldn't be so cruel to saddle you with guys who weren't eye candy worthy?" she muses causing me to roll my eyes.

I felt myself squirming. I guess you could say that the Salvatores were hot! Did that make me a whore because I had entertained the idea of being with them, of course it was daydreaming? I mean I was freaking immortal now, and once my marriage ended to Klaus which I was beginning to think would be sooner rather than later I would want to fall in love with someone. Turning around I look at Melissa. "Yeah!" I gush. Stefan has like the greenest eyes you've ever seen. You can take one look at him and you just know that he like really loves." I say to which Melissa starts to fan herself.

"Please continue and remember I want your first thought after meeting them that first day."

I bite my lip. Damon was something different, he was intense, so freaking intense but I guess in a good way. Where Stefan was more reserved, Damon was more in your face. If you thought about the brothers were really yin and yang.

I take a much needed sip of my drink. "Damon is walking sin. He had eyes that are glacier blue and dark hair."

Melissa smirks. "If I remember correctly that is your panty dropper!"

The grill had a nice set up, and by the looks of it, it's quite popular. There is a game area where people are playing pool, darts and classic video games. A stage where guy was doing an extremely well rendition of "Endlessly by the Cab." And a bar that I reckon has seen many people pass through. As I peer closely, I notice that the Salvatore brothers are sitting at the bar, a blond girl sitting between the two. From the looks of it, it looks really intense and I wonder exactly what the story is among the three. As soon as the thought crosses my mind, I admonish it. For all I knew the brothers could be trying to pick up on the girl and failing, but when I really thought about it, I couldn't see that happening. I could see the brothers using their hotness as a superpower against poor unsuspecting women.

Shrugging my shoulders I turned my attention back on my friend, only to see that she had struck up a conversation with one of the guys who was playing on stage. He had guitar in hand, and I had to admit he was very easy on the eyes. He was totally what Melissa would go for, he had boyish good looks, he could play guitar and sing, not to mention pretty brown eyes. Oh hell, he was probably every girls dream. He nods my way giving me a small smile before going on the opposite direction. He's literally gotten about ten steps away before Melissa is turning to me a smile on her lips.

"This place is buzzing with good vibes and it has hot guys." she says biting her lip.

I let out a giggle, she had been right, this place felt right. It had reminded me of the Boathouse back home. It had the same feel and everything and it proved that everyone wanted a place to escape and it looked like the Grill was the place to be. As we walk further, I notice that people are beginning to look our way. It was a small town and figured that we stood out like crunchberries in Captain Crunch. Without breaking a sweat we continued on our way feeling eyes on us till we found a seat near the back.

"Doesn't it feel good to get out of that mansion." Mel asked as she peers around us, no doubt scooping out for cute guys. Mel thought she'd find me a hot guy to make it easier to leave Klaus. In her mind if I were enticed by getting some action then maybe just maybe I would end my alliance with him.

"Yeah it does." I say with a smile. At the mansion I felt like I was always on guard because Klaus was nothing but relentless. If he wasn't trying to get me to forgive him, he was trying to get me into bed so that we could consummate our marriage and that wasn't gonna happen. And then their was my own personal dream stalkers, Damon can literally get into my dreams and apparently Stefan could call out to me.

I'm so lost in my thoughts that I nearly jump when a waiter comes by with a smile on his face. He brought two drinks with him and says its complements from the bar. Looking over I spotted my guardians who brought their own drinks up in a mock toast.

I let out a snort and Melissa tears her eyes from the backside of our waiter to look at me then at the guys who had sent us a drink and then back at me. "You see those guys over there." I say pointing to my guardians. Melissa nods her head before turning her eyes back to me.

"Do you think their spies for Klaus." Melissa asked whispering as if that would matter.

I shake my head signaling no. "their my guardians." I say causing her to nearly choke on her drink.

"It freaking burns." she says in between coughs and I cant help but chuckle because that was what she had gotten for making me choke earlier this morning, payback was a bitch. "The Salvatore brothers?" she asked a shocked look on her face.

"Yeah. "I say taking a sip of my own drink. I tilt my head to see that the brothers are still looking our way and in fact they look ready to pounce when it appears someone they know stop any moment.

"Seriously Bons, I don't think I've ever seen two more beautiful men in my entire life." Melissa gushes in wonder.

I say nothing and shrug my shoulders

"You're doing a horrible job at pretending that the hot factor hasn't effected you."

I open my mouth to deny but find no words. I was well aware that they were good looking brothers. I was sure that girls in this town had probably tripped over themselves trying to get a bit of Salvatore action, and I would not add to that list...at least if I could help it. Although the brothers may or may not have been meant for me and vice versa the last thing I was planning on doing was jumping their bones anytime soon. It didn't matter what the bond was making me feel, I still had control of my actions and right now, I just wanted to be a regular girl and when the time came when I was supposed to step up then I'd do so.

Just as I'm about to throw my napkin her way I realize the guy she was talking to earlier had come over to our table probably to talk to Melissa. His name was Jeremy and he was a total hottie. I rolled my eyes as Mel batted her eyelashes his way and Jeremy seemed to be into it as well. As the two of them talked I had decided to get up and take a look at the jukebox. I'm standing at the jukebox for all of two minutes when suddenly I feel the air shift.

I swiftly turn around before catching eyes with the Salvatore brothers. My eyes scan for the perfect song when suddenly Melissa had popped up by my side, a huge grin on her face.

"So what do you have for me?" I asked with a raise brow.

"His name is Jeremy"Melissa says with a smile tugging on her lips. "He's single and of course easy on the eyes, he's a Libra and he doesn't have a brother." she says turning around to face the throngs of people.

"So, is the Jermey guy supposed to be for me or you?" I asked trying not to bust out laughing by the look on her face.

"Normally I would have totally given him to you but seeing as you already have your hands full hot guys i.e. your guardians and husband, I say he's all mine" she says before disappearing off.

I shake my head and turn back to the jukebox selecting the sounds of the guitar fills the area as Santana begins to play the first cords of smooth. Melissa winks at me as Jeremy who is now on break, sits with her at the booth.

I let the sound of the music flow through me. My hips moved on their own accord and soon I felt someone press up against me. I turned around expecting to see blue eyes blazing but was shocked to see green eyes dancing with amusement. I swallowed hard, as Stefan looked at me. I had never been this close to him, like this, sure I had hugged him, once but this was completely different. "Stefan." I say my voice sounding foreign to my own ears.

He grins down at her as he arm wraps around her tiny waist. They had so much to discuss. No matter how far away she was, in the end Bonnie had been bonded to he and his brother, and he had taken the role as her protector and guardian very seriously. "Expecting someone else?" he asked while his fingers dance on her hips as she continues to move fluidly.

Suddenly I felt something flare up inside of me, it made my fingers tingle and my heart speed up and I feel something pass between the two of us.. "Do you and your brother tag team all the girl are am just lucky?" I ask causing Stefan to chuckle, his grey eyes lighting up.

"We were...testing a theory." he says his voice turning a bit husky.

"Really?" I asked raising a brow.

"Yep and you passed with flying colors." a voice from behind calls and I tense up. Their was no way I would be in some kind of freaky Salvatore sandwich in freaking public. Immediately I stop dancing with Stefan as Damon now stands next to us. I feel the air shift and look around to see that the patrons seemed unfazed by the brothers and their antics. I guess they did this a lot, especially since they had been in love with the same girl. And that thought makes me feel icky.

Without much of a word, I head over to my seat. I notice that Melissa is still trying to recover from watching the three of us in action. I had been dancing with Stefan enjoying the music and suddenly Damon had invaded all of my personal space. Once I sit down the guys soon follow as they sit next to each other. It was odd being connected to these two men and feelings that came along with it.

We sit in silent tension before Melissa breaks it with her voice. Before I know it the four of us are actually laughing and talking about everything under the sun. The brothers were funny they had their own rhyme and rhyme and it was quite funny to watch as they interacted with each other. Stefan was very carful and it appeared that everything he did was after a great amount of time considering things. He had been very patient with me and Melissa whereas with his brother he had little to no patience. Damon on other hand, seemed very spontaneous, whatever he thought he said and whatever he said he meant, and I could relate I was very much like that. Damon had very little patience in fact I was beginning to think he had the attention span of an goldfish because one minute he'd be talking about one thing and the next minute he'd turn the conversation into something of a sexual innuendo.

An hour into conversation someone pulls up a chair and joins us. By the look on the brothers face I know they know this person and I realize it's the same girl who had been watching me and Klaus the first time we had come to the Grill.

She had a drink in hand and looks like she's had way too much of it. Which is odd because I thought vampires couldn't get drunk but I guess everyone had a limit- even the supernatural. With a plop she sits down and looks between the four of us. She lets out a scuff at the sight of me and Melissa and then turn her eyes back to the brothers.

"Caroline I thought you were going home." Stefan says and he looks almost pained to say so. "I thought Matt was taking you home."

"You thought wrong." the girl says with a sneer. "It's a free country and I want to stay here."

Damon lets out a sigh. "Beat it Barbie" he says harshly and the girl doesn't even flinch.

With a tilt of the had she speaks. "You know, Elena hasn't been gone for that long and you've already moved on." she says looking at Stefan. "She loved you and now since you no longer see her its like you don't even care." she said her eyes sad.

Stefan looks down and his pain hits my like a ton of bricks. He looks so hurt and I feel bad for him. Before we can even blink the girl is once again speaking and this time she's looking at Damon.

"And you, all that talk about how you were so much better for her, when really all you ever care about is yourself." she says shooting daggers in the direction of blue eyes. "You think the world revolve around you and your precious peter." she seethes. " you were never good enough and you never will be." she spits out. I look in the direction of Damon to see his blue eyes blazing.

He cracks his neck in response. "If I remember correctly I was good enough for you to hop on." he says causing the girl in question to sizzle with anger.

I cant help but crack a grin, and its then that the blond turns her eyes in our direction.

"And you think you've hit the motherload." she says pausing to look between me and Melissa. "But you haven't. They killed my best friend, she was running from the two of them, trying to get away from them and she's dead now. " the girl nearly screams. "She's dead, she drowned and we didn't even get to put the body in a casket- because of the two of them. "She whispers

I bite my lip. Caution bells are going up in my head, and I speak to her as I would speak to an animal that was scared. "I'm sorry about your friend." I say and she laughs bitterly.

"Really." She says leaning forward. "That wont stop you from screwing them. I saw the way the three of you were looking at each other. I wonder what Klaus would do to you if he found out you were here." she threatens.

I raise my brows to my hairline, and look at Melissa. I didn't know this girl, and she didn't freaking know me. I didn't like to threatened. The only thing that was saving her, was the grief that was radiating off of her, and the fact that by the way she mentioned Klaus I knew she was the girl who had turned him down. "You must be the ex infatuation." I say and her eyes darken. "I've got good news, he's over you." I say with a shrug.

"And you're the new bitch."

She's seconds away from ripping me a new one when I freeze our surroundings so that if needed me know one innocent can be hurt. "Freeze" I say causing everyone around us except from the supernatural to freeze.

"Caroline stop it." a voice says from behind and I realize that once again it's the guy from earlier, Jeremy.

I share a look with Melissa. Before we turn our attention back to the girl in front of me.

"That's enough Caroline. Attacking these girls wont do anything. They aren't the reason my sister is gone."

I watch as the girl breakdowns and cries. It appears she is having a hard time dealing with the loss of her friend. Jeremy sends a glare in the direction of the Salvatore brothers not bothering to share a word and soon disappears with Caroline.

I look back at the brothers. "You get the all the time or is the our lucky day."

Damon shrugs and Stefan rubs his forehead as if he's getting a headache. Wordlessly the brothers walk off apparently needing some space which I don't blame them. I close my eyes and soon unfreeze the atmosphere. Once again people are laughing and talking while we sit in silence. Until the ever so annoying sound of the original sister had penetrated through my ears.

"Wow, your husband has literally been gone for a couple of hours and like the harlot you are, you've nestled yourself between the Salvatore brothers." Rebecca cracks drink in hand.

I glare her way and want nothing more then to scratch her eyes out. First of all, I wasn't a harlot, they brothers had found me, I hadn't contacted them what so ever. In fact I had kept my distance for a full week, as I wanted to contact my grams so that she could tell me more about the bond.

"Did Klaus send you to check on me?" I asked glaring in her direction.

Rebecca laughs. "Sadly no, for some reason he trust you-although I don't know why." she says taking the seat Caroline had just vacated.

I roll my eyes and cross my arms over my chest I had, had enough of this crap. "Rebecca not now." I say rubbing my temples. I was picking up on the mood the brothers were feeling and it was leaving me unsettled. I cast a look in their direction and see that they are dealing with what was said differently

"Look at you, feeling the affects of the bond? You're not anything special. They only want you because your with my brother." she says a grin on her lips. "And for future references I screwed them both." she says before giggling mad.

"Oh please tell me your not fighting over the Salvatore brothers." Kol says surprisingly us all when he sits down across from us.

Shaking her head the blond speaks. "What are you doing here? Where's Elijah, Klaus?"

He slinks in to the booth. "Klaus wanted me to stay here and protect the women." he says with a shrug.

"And you just let him." Rebecca says rushing out of the Grill leaving the three of us.

"So, who's up for a game of pool!" Kol asked clapping his hands together

Klaus

He hadn't felt this way in a very long time, in fact he could admit that his infatuation with Caroline had been just that, an infatuation, he wanted to show the young vampire what life could be if you simply enjoyed it. He was a man, that had loved life, he loved being a vampire and the moment the curse had been activated he had loved being a hybrid. Of course like any other being he had longed for companionship, that was why he had spared Caroline Forbes a glance. However the moment he saw her true pathetic colors he realized she wasn't the girl for him. And then came and Bonnie Bennett. The first time he touched her, intimately of course he knew that she was the perfect person to be his queen. Bonnie had this air about her, maybe it was the immortal witch that was waiting to surface or maybe it was her strong will, but he had known then that once he had her, he'd never let her go.

His blue eyes traveled down to the simple gold band on his ring finger. That night he had promised to love Bonnie, hadn't been just about an alliance, although he had led her to believe so, he had been enamored with her, and the words he had said to her were real, what he was feeling...what he was still feeling was real. She may have been upset by his reaction to her with the Salvatore brothers, but he was sure all would be forgiven once the brothers had shown their true colors. Nothing could bring down the Salvatore brothers more then a woman and not just any woman but the woman who had made them who they were today.

"Klaus" Rebecca called as she walked through the fortress. The moment she had seen Kol she had known that something was up and being the perceptive little sister that she was, she had gone in search of her big brother, only to find him staring at his wedding ring, while his witches were doing various locator spells. "What's going on here."

"Sister dear, glad to see you." he says a smile on his face.

Crossing her arms Rebecca speaks. "What are you doing Klaus and why on earth did you send back Kol, I thought you were in search of Elijah." she says, a slight tremor when thinking about her elder brother in harms way perhaps. Their parents were horrible and had they ever reunited things could go bad very quickly.

He hands her a glass of blood and takes a sip of his own. "Oh that, was my cover story." he says a sly smile forming on his lips.

For a moment she is stunned but then curiosity strikes and she wants to know what her brother is up to. "What are you up to Nic?" she questions while tapping her foot. "Because while you've been playing mind games with me and Kol, your wife has been spending time with her guardians." she says with a tilt of the head. She watches as her brother holds the glass tighter and is surprised that the glass hadn't shattered. He's showing restraint with his anger.

With one big gulp his finishes his blood. The first thing he had decided to do after he had nearly scared Bonnie away was work on his temper, he had never been a patient man and his temper was off the charts, but if he wanted to keep Bonnie he needed to at least attempt to keep the monster at bay. "As she should. Everything is going according to plan." he says before turning away from her and ordering out the witches who were on his payroll.

"Nic what are you doing? As much as I cannot stand that witch, I know that you care for her, why leave her to the Salvatores?" she asked confused.

He rubbed his hands together. He had been thinking of this plan since that night he had heard Bonnie crying, the night he had scared her. He was sure the Salvatore boys had told her many things about him, and he had fallen into their trap. However he had thought of his own. "I want Bonnie to get to know them, that is why I will stay away for one week. I want the Salvatore brothers to give her that false sense of security." he says pausing. "She is bonded to the two of them, as much as it pains me to admit and they will always have a connection."

"Does that mean your letting her go?"

"Quite the opposite sister dear. I want Bonnie to make the decision to stay with me on her own, and she will because as we speak I'm looking for the one person that will ruin all the progress that brothers have with my dear wife." he says a grin plastered on his lips. He planned on catching Bonnie after she had fallen for one of the brothers and in the end she would learn to love him, the way he had always loved her.

She gasped. "Katherine."

He nods his head agreeing with her. "The moment they see Katherine the brothers will forget about my wife simply because the resemblance between Katherine and Elena." he says gloriously.

She had to give it to him, Nic had a brilliant plan. She had just wished that he wouldn't put too much hope into the Bennett witch. "Tell me brother why do you want her so much?"

He looks down at his wedding ring for a moment before looking back up to his sister. "Because Bonnie will be the one to save us from ourselves." he says pausing. "She will be the one who will give us a family."

"What do you mean?"

"Unlike most immortals, Bonnie never died, therefore she can still procreate."

"You want to start a new family?"

"I want us all to be a family. Bonnie is the one who will bring life to this family, she will give me a son and you my sister will finally have a life long friend."

Rebecca bit her lip. She didn't want to dare hope that what Klaus was saying could be true. Maybe Bonnie was meant to save them, maybe she was meant to bring the family together. On the other hand, she wondered if her brother had simply forgotten the kind of pull the Salvatore brothers had on women.
