Chapter 12

Bonnie left Elena and Caroline alone to go prepare her room to contact Dr. Martin. Caroline sat on the couch nervously fidgeting with her shirt. Elena made great pains not to look at Caroline and made her efforts knows.

"I can't even look at you right now Caroline." she said.

"You know what Elena then don't. I am really getting tired of your holier than thou attitude."

"My what Caroline?"

"Your attitude Elena. This whole situation would be ok if the shoe were on your foot wouldn't it. And we would be expected to help you. No questions asked because it was for you Elena. And like mindless drones we would do it." Elena looked at Caroline and shook her head. Elena was about to open her mouth with a rebuttal then stopped.

Bonnie walked out of the hallway and Caroline looked up at her. Bonnie smiled at her wearily. Caroline knew the consequences of contact spirits. And they had done horrible things to Dr. Martin and Luka, killed them both. And now they were expecting Dr. Martin to help them. It was a long shot but they had to try. Caroline stood up and walked towards Bonnie. Their eyes connected and Bonnie knew how she felt. She could feel the understanding between them. In Bonnie's eyes Caroline could almost see the apology for really not being there for her when she really needed her. This was Bonnie's way of making it up to her. Bonnie knew far to well what love could do to someone. Even though Caroline never said the words she knew she loved Klaus.

"I am ready when ever you are." Bonnie said softly. Caroline grabbed her hand and squeezed it then walked down the hall to Bonnie's room. Bonnie then turned her attention to Elena. Elena's eye met Bonnie's now. She could see the hurt and confusion there.

"You know she's right. She would do it for you if you asked." said Bonnie. Bonnie turned and walked down the hall. "Are you coming?"

Elena sat for a few seconds then moved to get up. "Bonnie." she called after her. Bonnie stopped and turned to face Elena again.

"Bonnie do you think she was right about what she said about me? That I just expect you guys to help me when I need it. Like you were mindless drones?" Bonnie looked down and picked at her fingernail for a minute. She looked up at Elena. She did not answer her but Elena knew the answer. Bonnie walked down the hall to her bedroom and joined Caroline sitting around the cluster of burning candles on the floor. Elena walked in and shut the door behind them. She stood looking at her two friends and sat down, giving them more power to their circle. They took each others hands and were silent. Bonnie concentrated and then finally spoke out calling to Dr. Martin.

"Dr. Jonah Martin. Are you out there?" nothing happened. "Dr. Martin please it's Bonnie Bennett. We need your help." Still nothing. She repeated the same thing over and over again.

"See I told you he wouldn't help." said Elena.

"Elena please." said Caroline.

"You guys stop it. No negativity in the circle."

"Then Elena should leave. She is nothing but negative." snarked Caroline.

"Really mature Caroline."

And then the candles flamed higher. All of the girls shut up. Elena gripped Caroline's hand a little harder.

"Dr. Martin? Is that you." but there was silence. Then Bonnie's head snapped up and started at the ceiling. Caroline wanted to lunge forward and stop whatever was happening. Bonnie moaned as if she was in pain then stopped suddenly. She slowly lowered her head and looked straight at Caroline. Her eyes were clouded over a very milky white. Elena gasped to Caroline's left. Bonnie turned her hard and looked at Elena next.

"What do you want?" The words came out of Bonnie's mouth but it was not her voice. It was his voice. It sent chills down Caroline's spine. "What do you want?" she said again. Caroline cleared her throat and prepared to speak to Dr. Martin.

"Dr. Martin. Its Caroline Forbes."

"I know who you are." he said annoyed. "What do you want?" sounding angry. Caroline swallowed the fear she felt and continued.

"OK sorry. Dr. Martin we were unable to kill Klaus. He has made the transformation into the hybrid."

I knew you would not succeed." he said smugly. "Bonnie was not strong enough."

"Dr. Martin please. Is there a way to bind the wolf side again? A spell or a talisman? Something?"

"You are asking for access to very very old magic."

"I know Dr. Martin. Please."

"Why?" he asked. "Why do you want this spell? He is done with you here in Mystic Falls. He got what he wanted. He should be gone by now." Caroline did not know what to say. She couldn't tell him the truth.

"Because there is some good left in him and if he were to give up the…."

"LIES." screamed Dr. Martin. "And you expect me to help you after everything you have done to my family?"

Caroline felt a lump in her throat. Hot tears pooled in her eyes and trickled down her cheek. Elena looked at Caroline and her heart hurt for her. She didn't understand that it was all for Klaus but she could sympathize.

"Dr. Martin." Elena said. "If we could just bind his wolf side again he would be less of a danger to others. We are thinking of the greater good here."

Bonnie turned her head again slowly and looked into Elena's eyes. She sucked in a shaky breath but did not break her eye contact with Dr. Martin.

"You should be dead my dear. Why are you alive?" the corners of Bonnie's mouth curled in a creepy smile.

"My father…" the word got caught in her throat. "My father did a spell to link my life to him. Klaus did kill me but I was unable to die."

"Pretty fancy bit of magic." he said amused. "So you want to help the vampire that killed you and your Aunt because she is in love with him?" Elena and Caroline looked at each other in shock. How did he know?

"I am inside of Bonnie's head. I know exactly why you want him cured, so to speak." Dr. Martin said.

There was silence for a very long time. Caroline dare not speak. She was afraid if she said anything else would make it worse.

"The spell you require is very old magic. It requires an elixir that must be drunk 1 hour before the spell is cast. He has to be willing to do this. The spell must be cast on a full moon at midnight."

Then Bonnie's body slump to the floor. The candles were blown out. Elena ran to the light and flipped it on. Caroline went to Bonnie on the floor.

"Bonnie. Bonnie." she yelled. Elena joined Caroline as the hovered over Bonnie's body. They both held their breath for what felt like hours before Bonnie's eyelids fluttered and her eyes opened. They were Bonnie's eyes again. Caroline exhaled sharply and pulled Bonnie up from the floor and embraced her friend.

"Holy shit are you ok?" said Caroline.

"Yeah I am fine. That was a little freaky. He was inside my head and I was inside his. I know exactly what to do." Bonnie sat up and took a deep breath. She was still a little shaky from her encounter with Dr. Martin.

"We need to get a hold of one of the older grimoires that we took form Dr. Martin after he died. The spell is in there. I know exactly where to find it. We have to get moving on the elixir too. The full moon is in two days."

Bonnie turned to Elena. "The grimoire is at the Salvatore house. You need to get that." Elena looked down at the floor then back up at Caroline.

"OK I will get it." she said and looked back at the floor.

"Caroline." Bonnie turned to her. "We are going to have to get the elixir to Klaus. He needs to take it willingly or the spell won't work."
