Four: Answer? No Answer

Normally Bonnie liked having all of the answers. She was good at having all of the answers. Especially when it came to her friends. Even more especially when it came to witchcraft. But now she had several pair of angry eyes staring at her demanding answers. Well, the only one that didn't look angry was Elena, but she was staring at Bonnie with a quiet determination that made Bonnie not want to disappoint her.

"Well?" Katherine asked crossing her arms over her chest. "What's the verdict? Speak Bonnie. Now."

"Stop pressuring her." Elena snapped.

"No one asked you, your opinion carbon copy."

"Will you two please be quiet, this isn't about you Katherine or about you Elena, this is about finding a cure to well, all of this," Caroline turned to Bonnie with a fake smile that reminded Bonnie of a raggedy ann doll. "Now Bon, please tell me that you have a solution to well, all of this."

"Um," Bonnie bit her lip.

"Don't um, me, Bonnie." Katherine snarled. "You better find a solution to this."

There was an awkward silence and Damon crossed his arms over his chest. "Well, the brunette slut asked you a question." Katherine threw him a dirty glare and Damon pretended not to see.

Bonnie gulped and cleared her throat. "Um, there is no cure I'm afraid." She swallowed. "It's quite permanent. That was the intention after all, if it was easy to remove then there wouldn't be much point. So no, Katherine as far as I know there is no cure."

Katherine's face pale and instead of continuing to shout at Bonnie she laid down limply of the couch like a dainty lady from the 1800's. Caroline herself seemed to be at lost for words. Her mouth opened and closed several times, but nothing came out.

Instead what sounded like a horrible wail seemed to come out of her mouth. The only one that seemed to react positively was Elena. She stood up and went to hug Bonnie. "Thank you." She mumbled.

"She's not staying here." Damon snapped as he looked towards Katherine's direction. Katherine was currently chugging down on Damon's favorite Bourbon like there was no tomorrow. Damon was eagerly waiting for her hangover. "Have you've forgotten that my girlfriend is here. Not to mention that Katherine is a massive bitch who honestly deserves more for everything that she did to us. Have you forgotten about that?"

"Of course not." Stefan said, but he didn't sound too convinced. "But Katherine is human now, by your standards and mine she is completely harmless. Besides she's human and Katherine was never much for saving. From what I can tell she only has ten dollars to her name and a pair of Michael Kors heels."

"Good. She can buy a McChicken with that. I'm serious Stefan, I don't want her anywhere near here. Got it? She can stay the night, but tomorrow morning she is out of here. God knows that Katherine Piece has a bunch of people after her and those people don't need to hurt Elena."

"How are you-" he piped in awkwardly. "How are you doing?"

"Super." Damon said with a cold smile. "It sucks that dear old Katherine took the cure, otherwise thanks to Bonnie you and Elena would be living your perfect, human fantasy right about now."

Caroline couldn't believe that she was doing this. She was actually going to call and crawl back to Klaus after she basically told him to get lost. Now she was crawling back with her tail between her legs.

But she knew that if anyone would be able to help her it would be Klaus. Klaus would do anything to make Caroline happy and she knew that Klaus wouldn't exactly be overjoyed at the fact that Caroline was human, especially since Klaus wasn't exactly a fan of humans.

The phone rang and rang and the longer that it continued ringing the more desperate that Caroline became. "Hello." She finally heard a voice reply. "Things must be bad, love if you are actually looking for me willingly. Or are you just horny enough that you need a tongue in between your-"

"Klaus," Caroline could feel herself blushing bright pink. "Shut it."

Klaus must have heard the agitation in Caroline's voice because he stopped the teasing. "What's wrong love? What happened?"

"Well," Caroline played with a blond curl. "You are never going to believe this, but I am-I'm human." She blurted out. "Bonnie did something weird, she split the cure into three. It was supposed to be for the Salvatore brothers and Elena, but somehow Elena, me, and-" she trailed off. Caroline hesitated in saying Katherine's name. It wasn't like the little bitch didn't deserved to be called out, but for some reason Caroline was hesitating throwing her under the bus, especially since she knew what Klaus was capable of. Not to mention that the hybrid had a temper. "I became human. The cure is in me."

Klaus didn't say anything for a few moments. "You're human, Caroline?" he blurted out stupidly. "No, it's not possible. I can't believe it. I won't!"

"Well, you better believe it, honey because it's true." Caroline looked at her pale fingers. "I feel so weird Klaus." Caroline blurted out. "So fragile. Like I might break at any second."

"Yes, I don't miss that." Klaus said. "What does Bonnie say? She's a Bennet witch so she isn't completely useless."

Caroline bit her lower lip. She didn't want to talk bad about Bonnie, but it didn't look like she had much of a plan either. "Um, she doesn't really have much of a plan actually."

Klaus let out a small chuckle. "Of course, that is one of Bonnie's many charms. She doesn't have much of a brain when it comes to a plan B. Listen, love there are much better witches here in New Orleans. Come find me, I'll text you my address. Better yet I'll get a plane and come for you."

"That's not necessary. I'll see you then."

"The blonde bobblehead is headed to New Orleans and I told Katherine that she had to leave in the morning." Damon informed Elena. Elena was sitting down on their bed with her back to the wall. Damon hesitated. "Elena, are you sure that you're ok?"

"I'm fine, Damon." Elena turned around and Damon recognize the purity of a smile that he had not seen in a long time. "I feel better than fine, I feel alive again. I don't know how to explain it. Jenna may be gone and Alaric, and Jeremy. But thanks to Bonnie I'm human again. I'm a little bit more me and it's wonderful. I feel like I just received a part of me back." Elena's smile faltered. "Well, I can tell by your face that you don't look very happy. I know this is hard for you Damon. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to rub it in your face."

"It's ok." Damon said as he pushed back of piece of Elena's dark hair. "I'm just glad that Bon didn't kill you. Caroline is going to New Orleans. I suggested that we go with her."

Elena frowned. "Why? So that Klaus can use me as his blood bag again, no thanks."

"I will protect you from Klaus." Damon raised an eyebrow. "Besides someone has to keep Blondie from becoming road kill."
