Chapter 7: Cray cray is the way

Stefan looked confused at Bonnie.

"You want me to hide your piece of trash very well, so you can't find it?!"

"Yeah. Exactly." Bonnie answered and tried to make "puppy-dog-eyes", but failed drastically.

"Why the hell would I do that?!" He yelled, annoyed by her attempt.

"To… Help out a friend..?" She looked like she knew that he would throw that idea in the trash pile.

"Yeah… How about no." He pushed the cheap necklace back in her hand. "You know as well as I do that we're no longer friends Bonnie. Not since you ran off to Europe when your friends needed you. You only thought about what was good for you!" He shocked Bonnie by yelling like an overprotective boyfriend. "Did you ever even consider staying home when your best friend's boyfriend dumped her, because he was in love with you?!" Stefan pushed her into the wall. She ran through it since he had pushed harder than he intended.

"Do you really think Caroline would have wanted me her when Tyler left her for me?! Snap out of that fantasy you have Stefan!" Stefan was now not the only one in the house yelling.

"Oh I think she did! You just didn't listen to what she said! For one, did you know that she was the one who suggested that he should go after you if he had feelings for you, since she knew he didn't have any for her anymore!" Stefan grabbed her and lifted her up so that her eyes were in the same height as his.

"W-what?"

"Yeah, because that's how good of a friend she is! It hurt her like hell that her boyfriend was in love with her best friend, but she let him go because she knew how you felt about him and that she shouldn't keep you two apart!" He straightened his arm to the side and released his grip of her, which resulted in her, flying through the room's door.

"No! You're lying! That's not what happened!" She tried to get away from the furious Stefan who came rushing against her.

"How would you know?! You weren't here to find out!" He now kicked her threw the room and made a new hole in the wall on the same wall as before.

"Damn it, Stefan!" She yelled. "Learn to control your vamp-powers or I'll have to use my witchy once!"

Stefan stepped into the hole and picked up Bonnie.

"Why did you go to Europe Bonnie?! And don't say to run away from Tyler, because we both know that's a lie!" He yelled and through her out of the hole and out on the living room floor, trashing everything in her way.

"I can't tell you Stefan!" She breathed angrily after pushing a big part of what used to be the couch, off of her.

"What do you mean you can't tell me?" He had calmed down enough not to throw her through the house again, but not enough to not yell like at crazy person.

"Well… I went to this place in Europe (that I can't tell you about) and I met these people (that I can't tell you about) to find a solution to a problem (that I can't tell you about). So to sum everything up: I can't tell you a rat's ass!"

"Well okay then." He helped her up and she quickly removed all of the dust from her clothes with a couple of sweeps with her hand. "Sorry for trashing your house…" He looked so ashamed of his work that Bonnie had no other choice than to say:

"It's okay."

He looked up at her. "No, it isn't! I shouldn't have lost my mind like that!"

She smiled at him with a little secretively smile. "No really, it's okay. Look around you Stefan."

"What?" He looked around in Bonnie's recently trashed-by-him house, and found to his confusion that nothing was broken. "H-how?" he was stunned by the amount of power it must have taken her to repair all of that without moving an inch.

"Well let's just say that I learned a few tricks on my trip to Europe. And I also learned how to take care of the problem I can't tell you about. So how about you go and hide this very important piece of trash very carefully for me now?"

"So, have you decided whether or not you're going to tell me why you're here?"

"Go to hell." Katherine breathed and blew a dark curl from her face. Her kidnapper had untied her some time ago but she still wasn't able to leave to filthy cave. There was a spell cast on the cave that made it impossible for a vampire to leave it, even though the man seemed to have a not so hard time coming and going as he pleased. He smiled a ruthless grin and left the cave's entrance to leave her alone for the first time since the kidnapping and she was so thankful for the few moments of non-torture she got.

Katherine started to think why she was in this position in the first place. Under the last couple of, what she assumed was hours, her memory had started to flood in. But something stopped her from telling anyone about it. Something like a spell...

Bonnie! Bonnie the freaking bitch-witch! Of course! She probably put a spell on her that night at the barn.

How could she have been so stupid? How could she not have seen that coming? It was like the most common Bonnie the bitch-witch Bennet move ever!

She looked up when she heard his voice outside her cave again.

"I'm just going to check if she is awake or if she has passed out again." The voice came even closer, and Katherine thought she might have something to gain from being "passed out", but a lot to lose if she was awake.

He came inside her cave and injected a mild dose of vervain in her artery. She could hold a straight, sleeping face since pain almost didn't affect her at all anymore. She had become next to immune against vervain now, the only thing that really hurt her was the stakes. But thankfully he didn't try to stake her, at least not for now, and he left the cave to stand outside. She could hear the sound of his restless walking in the grass.

"Okay, she's out. What do you want Niklaus?"

Silence. More restless steps.

"I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this. I know you want me to find out if she pulled the horrible and terrifying stunt on your beloved Caroline, but I love this woman…" Katherine took a deep breath. Did he just say what she thought he said? Did he just admit that he loved her? "…just as much as you love Caroline and this is not just torture for her!"

Then why was he doing this?! Why wouldn't he just let her go? And did they really think she might have kidnapped Caroline and tortured her? Why the hell would she do that? "I'm serious Nik, I'm not gonna do this anymore! I'm just gonna release…"

"Elijah? What are you doing here?" Stefan's voice interrupted Elijah's conversation with his brother.

"I have to go, brother. I will talk to you about this later." Elijah's steps walked towards the cave's entering and he covered it badly with his body. "I'm just…"

"Who's in there Elijah?" Stefan's voice sounded mad. And extremely annoyed.

"No one Stefan. Just walk away and forget that you were ever here." The Original vampire said the last sentence in a very monotone voice which suggested that he tried to compel his fellow vampire.

"Yeah, that's not gonna work on me Elijah. I've been constantly feeding myself vervain since your brother thought it would be a good idea to compel me to turn my humanity off."

"Well it was worth a try." Both of the alfamale-ish vampires laughed a very cold, uninviting laugh.

"All this avoiding the subject isn't going to work, so just tell who's in there and let me do what I came here to do, and then I'll be out of your way. Deal?"

Elijah sighed deeply. "Fine. It's Kater…"

A swoosh flew through the wind and then Stefan was by her side, shaking her body. "Katherine! Katherine! Wake up!"

"I'm awake! I'm awake!" She opened her eyes and tried to lift her hands to take Stefan's of her, but was too weak and they fell down again. He smiled a sad smile and pulled away some of her disheveled dark curls from her dirty face and dry lips. "This is not what I had in mind for you when you were leaving town."

"We… I mean Niklaus, thinks that she might have been the one who tortured Caroline, so I've been demanded to torture the truth out of her ever since we found out that she's been acting like Elena for the last couple of months."

"Well you can release her now!" Stefan said angrily. "She didn't do it! She's been with me the whole time Caroline was kidnapped, looking for the new vampire in town!"

Katherine looked surprised at him. "You knew?"

He smiled again. "Well, not at first. But after a while I started noticing these little details that made me think. And then I thought 'Bonnie wouldn't just leave without someone', so I started investigating a little…" His smile had grown bigger. "But most of all I noticed that I wasn't as annoyed by your presence as I would have been by Elena's."

Katherine smiled back at him.

"Well I have to call Niklaus and tell him about this new information." Elijah said and interrupted their moment. He gave her a "we have a lot to talk about" look, and left.

"Okay, so thanks for that. And for noticing that I was me. But now I have to ask you; what are you doing here? I mean I heard you had something you had to do..? Not that I was listening or anything…"

"So you heard that…" He got up and helped her to get sit up. "I'm just going to get some blood for you, so you can regain you strength, and then we can talk."

He went to the opening of the cave and turned around. "I have bloodbags in my car. It'll just take a minute, I'll be right back!" He made himself ready to run to the car and back, but as soon as he started he fell on his back. Stefan looked confused up on the entrance.

"What the...?"

"Oh crap! The spell probably works on you too!"

"What s… Oh no!"

"Yeah… So, how about that explanation you were gonna tell me?" She fired a big smile towards him and patted a little on the big rock she'd been tied to. "It gets kind of comfy here after a while…"

Austin finished the last part of his painting.

"So...?" He said with a flirting smile.

"So, what?" His audience asked. She was new at the school and the love of his life. At least he thought so. He just couldn't resist her; he would do anything for her. Absolutely anything. He loved her smile, her style, her hair and her eyes. Especially those eyes. Whenever he looked into them, it felt like he lost control of his own body. Like he'd stop at nothing to make her smile, to make her happy. That was love right? Feeling like you can't stop yourself from doing anything she asked?

"So, do you like it?" He tried so hard not to lean forward and kiss her right now. She was so close, just a few inches away. He could feel her breath on his cheek and smell the green apple in her shampoo.

"Well that depends..." She came even closer and put her arms around him.

"That depends on what?" He came closer so that he wouldn't have to lean as much to kiss her.

She kissed his lips carefully but soon started to crave for more. Her soft, perfect, red lips touched his so... Not anymore. She had pulled away and now looked into his moss green eyes with her deep blue.

"It depends on if you're going to scream." Her hands pulled through his blond hair and she smiled so sexy at him. "Will you scream?"

Austin's pupils enlarged massively.

"I will not scream." He admitted quietly and looked down at her feet. She took her hands from his hair and put it under his chin. The girl with the brown waves and deep blue eyes pushed his chin up and made him look at her. Her hands weren't soft and gentle anymore, like they had been when they pulled through his blond hair or when they carefully stroke over his face.

"And why won't you scream?" She only held one hand under his chin now and played with her hair with the other hand. Even though she only held up his head with one hand, her strength was no less than it had been with both of her hands.

"Because I love you, you're my soulmate and you'll be mine if I always do as you ask." He said with a groggy expression over his face.

"And more?" He looked down at the floor again, ashamed, but then quickly up to her face when he remembered she didn't like it when you didn't speak to her face.

"More?" He now looked really confused; he couldn't understand why she was asking for more.

"Yes, more."

"But love, you never ask me to say more."

"In your last moments, that now are blessed with me being in them, you're allowed to say more."

"Of course, my love, I will do so." Austin felt the awaited feeling of having no control anymore. He sighed happily and let her be in charge. "You're eyes, they're so magical. And so is your sexy body, beautiful hair and the rest of your appearance. I love you because you're so stunning that it's compelling." The girl in front of him that he claimed was the love of his life, smiled beautifully at his choice of words.

"Yes, compelling would be the right word." Austin didn't understand what was so funny with his choice of words; he just knew he was happy because she was happy.

Red lips touched his ear as she whispered "Thank you" in it.

Her lips lowered location and kissed his neck. A soft, sexual feeling went through Austin's body. He just wanted her to continue, he loved this foreplay, but what he really wanted was to feel the satisfaction of her being fed, her being happy. He never felt the pain, just satisfaction for the both of them. He loved her, he would do anything for her.

The tall, blond artistic guy with moss green eyes moaned of pleasure when the girl of his dreams sucked the life out of him. He did not scream and he did not fight back.

The girl ripped Austin's neck apart and let the blood find its way through the air. She looked at the painting he had painted for her and saw how the bloodsplatter covered almost the whole thing.

"Now that's what I call a painting." She said, stroke her hand over the painting and licked the blood of her fingers, one by one. She stepped over the boy's drained body and laughed a cruel laugh.

"Nice to meet you." she said and lifted up the boy's hand.

"I'm Alex, what's your name?" She shook the body's hand and changed her voice so it sounded like Austin's.

"Hi Alex! My name is Dead, Very Dead." Alex laughed hysterically as she left the room with the deceased boy.
