"Oh, my god." Caroline drops her books in shock as she stares at the announcement board.

"What is it, Caroline?" Stefan questions as he looks over her shoulder, trying to see what she was freaking out about.

"I can't believe her. We promised we'd at spend our first year in college together, and yet, she does this!" Caroline could only shake her head in despair as she holds back tears of disappointment. It was official, she'd lost her best friend. Bonnie wanted nothing to do with her!

Stefan looks at the senior student list that announced what colleges they were accepted to and which one was their number one. His eyes scanned the list until it reached Bonnie's name. His eyes widened when he saw the many listed universities. Holy shit, he knew Bonnie was smart, but he didn't think she'd apply to an Ivy League. His eyebrows rose as he saw the university she chose. Duke University?!

"Can you believe this, Stef? We made a promise that we'd go to Whitmore for our first year of college! Bonnie always wanted to go because her Grams taught there! This has to be that bastard, Kols' doing! He's making Bonnie move away from us! It's so he'll have more control over her, and we can't do anything about it."

Stefan frowns, turning to Caroline. "I'm sure there's an explanation for this. You can't just run up to him and accuse him of anything. Especially if Bonnie's with him, Care."

Caroline lets out a growl, snatching up her fallen books. "This is bullshit, and I'm going to sort this out! Bonnie doesn't get to do this to us! To me! It's like she's slowly kicking us out of her life, and it isn't fair!"

Stefan kept his mouth shut as the blonde stormed past him and down the hall. He hated that Caroline was feeling this way, but that's exactly what Bonnie was doing. Anyone with eyes could see that she didn't want to be bothered with them anymore. She spent all her free time with Kol, Matt, and Rebekah. She didn't even acknowledge him, Damon, Elena, and Jeremy. Caroline was the only one that would get a decent greeting, but if she goes after Kol accusing him of making Bonnie stay away, he's sure that Caroline will be included in getting ignored. Best friends or not.

He looks back at Bonnie's name on the list. He wondered what influenced her to pick Duke University as her destination for the next four years? Will Kol follow her? Or will he stay in Mystic Falls with the rest of the Mikaelsons?


"Bonnie," Rudy greets the teen as she walks into the house.

Bonnie silently curses as Kol follows behind her. She didn't think Rudy would be here! Kol makes a face as she places a hand on his chest. "Say nothing." He makes a motion to zip his lips, throwing away the key as the brunette turns to her father.

"Dad, I didn't know you were in town," Bonnie says as she turns to him. He was sitting in the living room on the couch.

"I left a note, but it's obvious you didn't read it. Do you know how worried I was when I came home and I couldn't find you? None of your friends could tell me where you were, and I had to call Liz! And imagine my surprise when she told me you and him." Ruby spat out the word him in disgust as he glared at Kol. "Moved into Shelia's house! Bonnie, you're doing these things and I don't understand. Is this your way of teenage rebellion? Running off with whoever this is?"

Bonnie wasn't actively listening to Rudy as he ranted, she instead focused her attention on the very familiar magical signature that hummed around the room.

"I can't believe you would bring her here." Bonnie turns to Rudy, a furious expression on her face. "You can come out of the kitchen, Abby." There was a moment of silence before the kitchen door opens and Abby steps out. "Hi, Bonnie." Bonnie gives Abby a look of loathing as she eases into the room to stand beside Rudy.

Kol lets out a laugh as he realizes what Bonnie's parents were doing. "Bonnie, I think I know exactly what they're doing. It's a little too late for that, isn't it? Bonnie doesn't need you in her life now."

"This doesn't concern you, Mikaelson." Abby snaps, glaring at Kol. Kol lets out a groan, grabbing his head in pain.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Bonnie shoves Abby, breaking her concentration and the aneurism she was releasing onto Kol.

"Bonnie sweetheart, it's okay. I'm here to help you."

"Help me? What are you talking about?" Abby placed a hand on Bonnie's cheek. "I'm going to save you from whatever spell he has on you. We know this isn't like you, Bonnie. You hate these abnormal creatures, there's no way you'd lay down with one willingly."

Bonnie makes a face, slapping Abby's hand from her. "You don't know me, Abby. Just because we spent a few days together means nothing. People change. Was I really that bad?" She turns to Kol as he collects himself. "Yes, honestly, I thought you were suffering from an illness when you spoke to me the first time without threatening my existence. Sometimes I still fear that you're going to wake up one night and set me on fire or stab me with a white oak stake."

Bonnie looks at him in shock, "I would never!"

Kol shrugs, "I can never be too sure. You wouldn't be the first to try it, but I'm sure you'd be the one to succeed."

Bonnie frowns, hitting him on the arm. "If I wanted you dead, you would've been dead the day you sat beside me on the bench."

Abby and Rudy stand uncomfortably as Bonnie and Kol ignored them. "Bonnie, you can't be with him. He isn't good for you! He's a monster!"

"I'll be the judge of that, Abby. The Best thing for you to do right now is fuck off back to where you came from. You aren't needed here, and I don't know what Dad was thinking bringing you here. What did you think was going to happen? That I'd see you and run into your arms, crying about how the big bad original was holding me against my will?"

At Abby's silence, Bonnie let out a scoff.

"Everyone in this town is so fucking delusional and full of shit. God, let's go Kol. I'll get the rest of my stuff later. When they aren't here to stop us." She takes Kols' hand, purposely waving their interlocked hands around.

"See, he isn't controlling me. I'm leaving on my own free will."

"If anything, she's the one controlling me." Kol comments. Abby's eyes widened at his words. Kol catches that, the grin on his face widening. "Not in the way you think, Abby." He sends her a wink as Bonnie drags him out of the house.


"Caroline, you're making a big deal out of nothing. So, what if the little witch doesn't want to go to college with us? She won't be missed." Elena rolls her eyes, half-listening to Caroline's rant about Bonnie picking Duke University as her college. She didn't think the witch would actually go to Duke. She probably did it to see if it would piss them off. It didn't bother her, but it sure as hell pissed Caroline off.

"Making a big deal?! In case you haven't realized we're losing our best friend! Bonnie's always been the glue that held us together! She's been our shoulder to lean on, basically our everything! I know you have your humanity off, but I guarantee when you switch it back on you're going to understand exactly what I'm feeling! We're losing Bonnie and there isn't shit we can do about it. And the thing that hurts the worse is that we're losing her to Kol Mikaelson! One of the very things Bonnie's always hated!" By the end of Caroline's rant, tears were streaming down her face as she panted heavily. She was at whits end!

Elena doesn't say anything as she takes in the worn-down blonde. "I won't be turning my humanity back on anytime soon. So, I guess you're on your own unless you join me. Trust me, it's so much better without having to deal with all those emotions."

Caroline rolls her eyes, grabbing her cellphone. She sends Stefan, Tyler and Matt a quick text before she's leaving the Boarding House.

"Where are you going?"

"To find out what the hell Kol's doing to Bonnie!"

Elena rolls her eyes, Caroline would not let this shit go!


"People really think my brother has you under a spell?" Rebekah smirks at the pacing brunette. "That's funny since he's the one constantly following you around and sniffling around like a mutt in heat. You must be awfully talented in bed."

Bonnie throws up her hands, fighting back a blush at Rebekah's words.

"Trust me, sister, she surprised me, who knew she was so good at s-" Bonnie slaps a hand over his mouth. "Shut up, Kol."

Rebekah hides a smile behind her hand as Kol removes Bonnie's hand from his mouth, pulling her into a kiss. Her smile, however, dropped as their kiss progresses into more. But she was curious and decided to keep her mouth as she watched them. Kol was holding the witch as if someone was going to snatch her from his hands.

"They make quite a pair," Finn comments quietly as he leans against the couch. He's watching the pair curiously as well.

Bonnie notices them watching and slowly pulls away from Kol. "We'll do this later when your siblings aren't staring at us."

Kol lets out a groan, turning to glare at Finn and Rebekah. "Do you really have to do that?" The siblings shrug, still watching the couple.

"WITCH! COME GET YOUR MANIAC BLONDE!" Klaus yell comes from downstairs, following a loud crash.

The four of them look at each other before heading downstairs. The sight they were met with was surprising. Stefan was trying to talk down a clearly deranged looking Caroline with Elena standing behind her. Caroline immediately catches sight of Kol and Bonnie.

"YOU! YOU BASTARD! LET BONNIE GO!" Caroline shoves Stefan out of her way, charging towards Kol.

Kol dodges her punches with ease, grabbing her wrist as she struggled to break free. "I don't know what you're talking about you, dumb bint." He growls as she lifts her foot, kicking him in the gut. He lets out a grunt, releasing her.

"What the bloody hell are you going about?" Rebekah questions, shoving Caroline away from Kol. Bonnie rushes to his side, glaring at Caroline.

"Caroline, are you crazy? What's the matter with you?!"

"Crazy?! You're the crazy one, Bonnie! None of this is like you! He's done something to you, and we've got to fix this! You aren't the same Bonnie as before. The old Bonnie would never be like this! Especially hanging around them!" Caroline looks at the Mikaelsons in disgust. "They've cost us everything, and it's a big slap in our faces, hell our friendship that you've accepted them with open arms!"

Bonnie lets out a scoff, she wasn't surprised Caroline was being selfish and only thinking of herself. It was just the way she was.

"You're joking, right? Because I'm pretty sure Elena and her boy-toys are responsible for half the shit that's happened to us. I'll admit we could have prevented some of it if we weren't so fucking blinded and devoted to Elena like a bunch of dumbasses. If I'm being honest, she should've died the night Klaus did his ritual."

Caroline lets out a gasp at Bonnie's words. "See, this is exactly what I'm talking about! This isn't you! Old Bonnie would never say anything like that! What have you one to her?!" She turns to Kol, who rolls his eyes. "For the last time, I have done nothing to her. Why is that so hard to believe?!"

"There's nothing different about me, Caroline. I'm the same Bonnie, I've always been you just refused to see it. And there's the fact that I'm not breaking my back to save Elena's ass. Let's see how long you all last without me. I'm sure either Damon or Elena will do something stupid, and you'll come calling." Bonnie gives the fuming brunette a smirk. She knew Elena was plotting to do something stupid right away.

"I don't need you, bitch."

"Is that so?" Bonnie's smirk widened as she tilts her head. "Did you know that whenever a witch makes a daylight ring, she has the power to disarm the spell?"

At Elena's look of confusion, Bonnie reminds her. "Who made your daylight ring, Elena? Caroline?"

Elena's confused expression morphed into a look of panic as she realized Bonnie was the one that created her and Caroline's daylight rings. "Y-you can't do that!"

"Why can't I? I created them, and I'll do as I please with them. So, try me, Elena, and you'll find yourself without a daylight ring."

"I'll just find another witch!"

Bonnie scoffs. "You don't know any other witches besides me, and you don't have money to bride anyone. Sure, you could get Damon to get you one, but who am I kidding. Everyone hates that asshole, and he doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut. I'm sure he's used up any good favours he's had with anyone. So, tell me, what are you going to do without me?"

Call her a bitch all you want, but watching Elena panic brought her joy. Kol wraps an arm around her shoulders. Seeing the doppelgänger lose her head was hilarious. He was proud of his witch for finally standing up got herself to her worthless friends.

"Bonnie…"

"Caroline, for the love of God, shut up. I don't know what your goal was, but you've pissed me off for the last time. All of you have done nothing but harass me for the past few weeks, and I'm sick of it. This is your last warning. You come near me or Kol again, former best friend or not, you won't like the consequences." Just to keep her word, she gives the trio aneurysms, watching without care as they clutched their heads in agony, falling to their knees. Being petty, she snaps Elena's neck.

"I hope we've come to an understanding." Bonnie gives the fallen trio a look of indignation before waving her hand, banishing them out of the house. She ignores their yells.

"Excuse us." Kol doesn't waste any time, picking Bonnie up and flashing upstairs.

"What just happened?" Klaus asks, still processing what just happened. Elijah pats him on the shoulder. "I believe Bonnie has officially become a Mikaelson. And put her sorry excuse of friends in their proper places."

"I like this Bonnie, but I think Finn and I will be leaving. Seems like they'll be up there for a while." Rebekah makes a face as she hears Kol let out a moan. Yeah, she's going to leave.

"You are correct, sister. Let's go."

"Well, don't leave us. We're coming too." Klaus and Elijah follow behind them, trying to block out the sounds coming from Bonnie and Kol.
