Tapping her foot against the bottom of the large leather couch Bonnie was done with people trying to control her life. She should be free to do whatever she pleases, and if this means allegedly dating an original was one of them, so be it.

"Bonnie do you not understand what this means?" Elena asked looking down at her with hands firmly pressed against her hips as she paced back and forth.

"Honestly you guys, he's not what you think." She began to say for the umpteenth time since Stefan and Elena called her to the house.

"BONNIE!" Stefan boomed, running a hand through his hair. "This is all a plan of his, are you really that blind to see what's happening?" he asked sitting down next to her.

Unable to handle the closeness, Bonnie stood, shaking her head back and forth "Is it so hard to think that someone may actually want to be with me? Not because I'm a witch, but because he enjoys my company?" she asked looking between Elena and then Stefan with anger flashing through her eyes.

Elena looked over at Stefan for some kind of guidance "Bon, be smart about this okay? We're just looking out for you…If something were to happen to you…" she began to say.

"What? If something were to happen you wouldn't have a witch on your side, is that what you want to say?" she said bitterly.

Elena's eyes widened, what was wrong with her friend? "That's not what I meant Bonnie." Sitting down she blew out a frustrated breath, hoping Stefan would step in and say something.

As if taking the hint Stefan stood up, walked over to Bonnie and placed his hands on her shoulders "Bonnie, you know that's not what she meant. What we're saying is that you need to stay away from Klaus, okay? He's not a good guy; he never has been…Please, just stay away from him."

Remaining quiet Bonnie looked from Stefan to Elena both faces pleading for her to listen, rolling her eyes and sighing, "…Fine…" she said defeated while pulling out her phone.

Stefan gave a weak smile as he watched her press the phone against her ear "Thank you." He mouthed.

Giving a smile of her own she turned her back towards Elena and Stefan as she listened to it ring.

"Hello Beautiful." Klaus said smoothly.

"Hey…" she said trying to sound like her cheery self.

"Everything okay?" his tone soon changed into confusion.

"Of course." She paused looking at Stefan "Listen, about Friday…Something came up and I won't be able to meet up with you." Looking down her stomach turned into knots.

"That's okay, what about Saturday?" he asked.

"Sorry, I can't. I will call you when I'm free, okay?" she said trying to sound hopeful.

"…Okay, call me when you are free. I should get going. Take care, Bonnie." His voice turned slightly darker as he spoke his words.

"Bye Niklaus…" she said before hanging up.

Looking down at the ground she could cry, "Happy?" she growled.

Feeling the soft hands rest against her shoulder's once again Stefan said "Trust me, this was for the best. Damon and I will figure out why Klaus is back into town. Until then stay away from him, and if he comes to see you please call us. Okay?"

Lifting her head she nodded defeated, "Yeah, whatever." She whispered.

Elena found a place next to Stefan as they both looked at her "This is for the best, you know that, Bon." She said.

"I should go…I have to study." Bonnie said turning her back towards the duo, and walked towards the foyer. Placing her hand onto the door handle, she sighed and opened the door to see Damon just about to do the same motions as she.

"Well, Hello Bonnie." He said eyeing her up.

"Not now, Damon." She said walking past him, leaving him speechless as he watched her get into the car and drive off.

""""

Bonnie couldn't focus as the teacher began his lecture on the historical values of Mystic Falls; it wasn't as if she hadn't heard everything before. It was like a constant loop throughout the years, she'd sit in class listen to why the ancestors of Mystics Falls played a crucial role in shaping the town they live in today.

"Can anyone tell me what year the great fire was?" the teacher asked reading from the book.

Sighing softly as someone eagerly answered, she slowly began to doodle on the side of her page, and even this seemed to be out of character for her. Normally she'd focus, do her work and answer the minimal amount of questions asked. But, today, something was different, as the teacher spoke she was unable to focus as thoughts clouded by questions of why Stefan and Damon were so adamant on her staying away from Niklaus. It wasn't as if he was that bad, and if he was an original wouldn't that mean that he would be able to control himself more so than Stefan or Damon combined?

"Ms. Bennett?" the teacher said standing next to her "This isn't art class, so if you could manage to focus on the class instead of becoming the next Frida Kahlo you would be doing us all a favour." He responded sharply before walking back to his desk.
"Sorry…" she said uneasily placing the pencil beside her book, and resting her hand against her head as she listened to the lecture, or at least attempted to listen. What if she was to say she was sick? Then she could just go to the nurses, and be done with the day.

"What's wrong with you?" Elena whispered over her shoulder.

"Nothing… I'm just tired, that's all." She whispered back.

"You know you can talk to me..." she paused "Are you doing your magic again?" Elena whispered almost inaudible.

Clenching her hands together until the knuckles turned white. It always came back to the witchcraft, not the fact that forty either hours earlier both Elena and Stefan were lecturing her on who she can and cannot see. It couldn't be something different "No, my life doesn't revolve around magic…" she growled.

"Calm down, it was just a question." She said sitting straight into her desk.

Bonnie began to breath low and deep, it always came down to magic. Oh, you have a cold, it must be your magic, oh there's rain today, did you do that Bonnie it must be your magic, she thought to herself. Unable to control the anger building up inside of her, it caused a loud pop bringing the class out of attention as the glass on the teacher's desk shattered.

"Well, obviously this is a sign that the class is almost over." The teacher chuckled softly as he placed his book onto the desk, and began to clean the glass.

Feeling her cheeks flush as she lowered her head, she should have more control. The bell rang, and Bonnie packed her things, she needed to talk to Caroline. On a mission she walked towards the door, ignoring Elena's pleads to get her attention.

"What was that? What's going on with you?" Elena asked cupping her shoulder to bring her to focus.

"It's nothing okay. Now go to Stefan he's waiting for you…" she growled looking at Elena and then Stefan leaning against the lockers.

Walking down the hall ignoring the questions coming from behind her back.

"Bonnie, just tell us whats going on." Elena said in a hushed voice.

"We're here for you..." she felt the cool hand of Stefan press against her arm.

Tugging it forcefully away from him, she spun around "Don't you think you've both helped enough? Can't I just want to be alone for a second without being grilled."

"What's gotten into you? It's like your not yourself anymore. Just let us help you..." Elena began to say as Bonnie turned her back towards the duo and walked away ignoring both Elena and Stefan as they stood speechless.

"Where are you?" she whispered looking around until she noticed Caroline flipping her blonde strands of hair as she laughed at joke from Tyler. Stepping closer until she could hear Tyler throw down his signature flirt and shine his pearly whites as if to reel in his could be catch.

"Caroline." She said placing her hand against Caroline's arm, causing her to look briefly at Bonnie and then give an apologetic smile to Tyler.

"What's up, Bon?" Caroline asked a smile spreading across her face as they walk away from Tyler who was left with his hands in the air.

"I…I just need your opinion on something." She said pushing the door open to lead them into the outdoors.

"Sure, what's up?" finally realizing they were both outside Caroline looked around to see if anyone was walking around.

Running her hand through the long chocolate strands, Bonnie didn't know where to begin. Taking a deep breath she began "You know that guy I met? Well…" laughing nervously she looked away from Caroline "Apparently he is a vampire, but an original or something like that…I was told not too…" she said before getting cut off.

"Whoa, slow down." Caroline said placing her hand onto Bonnie's shoulders to calm her. "You didn't know he was a vampire? I thought your witchy juju would point that out the moment he touched you?"

Stepping out of her friends grasp, she began to shake her head "Usually I would know instantly, but this time I had no clue. Damon was saying something about maybe him being an original and that could be the reason I didn't know."

"Hmm, so what's the issue? The fact that you can't read him or because he is some big bad original, vampire or whatever?" Caroline said sitting down on the lush grass, patting beside her for Bonnie to follow.

Sighing, Bonnie sat down cross legged "That's the thing; I have no clue…Everything was great, well until Stefan and Elena saw us. Which of course in typical Elena fashion came practically skipping over to us to introduce herself, while that happened Stefan freaked out, and basically dragged Niklaus across the room."

"Maybe he was just looking out for you?" Caroline said trying to seem supportive.

Regretting her chat Bonnie began to shake her head "You sound just like Elena. I want to know why, and instead I get these cryptic reasons from 'He's not a good guy, Bon or don't trust him.' Is it too much to ask for a simple explanation?"

"I want to tell you what you want to hear, that he's a great guy...but what kind of friend would that make me? You need to find the answers yourself, even if that means you fighting your way" she said a hint of a smile crossing her face as she noticed Bonnie's attempted smile.

"I just wish for once I could get answers, and as much as I try to push for them I won't get anywhere besides a pat on the head and told to go home to not worry about it." She said picking a blade of grass, running it through her fingers before letting the wind take it away.

"Have you thought about asking Niklaus?" Caroline said as if having an epiphany.

Looking down she began to shake her head "They told me not to call him or see him. That I have to stay away from him…"

"Bonnie, you make it sound like they're your parents. You are free to do what you want, don't let some vampire's tell you differently." Caroline said laughing softly.

"You're right…Who are they to say what I can and cannot do. For once I'm going to think of myself." Smiling she stood up, wiped the grass from her pants and began to walk to her car.

"Where are you going?" Caroline asked tilting her head in confusion.

"I have some questions that need to be answered." Smiling she waved goodbye, walked towards the car before unlocking it, and sitting the driver's side. Inhaling deeply what she was about to do felt forbidden, but it was the only way to know who he truly was.

Listening as the phone rang, her heart paced what if this was a mistake. Pulling the phone away from her ear about to hang up she heard the soft voice coming from the other end.

"Hello." Niklaus said lifelessly.

Unsure if she had the right number, she asked. "Hi, is Niklaus there?"

"Bonnie?" Niklaus perked up.

"Yeah, sorry if you're busy…but do you think you have some time to meet up with me?" she asked clenching the steering wheel with her free hand.

"Sure, I wasn't doing anything important anyway. When do you want to meet?" he asked happily.

"How about now?"

"You really don't leave a guy in suspense do you." He laughed.

Feeling her anger subside all she wanted to do was see him even if it was for answers. "I'm the kind of girl who would rather get it over with than wait." She found herself laughing "Want to meet in twenty minutes at say The Grill; we can go where ever from there."

"Sounds great I will see you soon, Beautiful." He said before ending the call

Smiling Bonnie started the car, and drove off about to get her answers, unaware that Caroline was watching her motions.

Caroline stood outside watching her friend make the phone call, smiling she noticed how Bonnie seemed to light up as she spoke. Clearly this guy meant something to her as she glanced in the mirror, laughed and soon drove off. Shaking her head Caroline spun around into the chest of Stefan.

"Where is she going?" he asked looking from the car, to Caroline.

"She wasn't feeling well." Caroline said with a brief smile before walking past him.

Feeling the cool hand on her forearm caused Caroline to jerk back to stand in front of Stefan "Caroline, this isn't a game. Was she going to see him?" he asked looking into her eyes "You can tell me." He whispered low.

"It's simple, neither of you will give her answers. So, she went to get them herself." She said shaking her head before walking past him once again "Just let her have this, Stefan." She said opening the door to the school.

With his phone already out, and pressed against his ear, Stefan said "Damon, you need to find Bonnie. I have a bad feeling about this…" Hanging up the phone Stefan gave one final look at the street she once drove down before turning around and entered the building in hopes Damon listened to his messages.

Hopefully you guys enjoyed this chapter.

I thought seeing as she's kind of under the influence of magic it would cause her to act out of character, and perhaps over think things. Let me know what you think! :)

Chapter 5 will hopefully be finished by Friday! I have some awesome ideas which I think you will all enjoy.
